Captured from directly overhead on a pure white field, this densely packed, perfectly round bouquet reads like a quiet poem in white and cream tones. Several white oriental lilies dominate the composition, their wide, curving petals forming luminous cups around pale green-to-yellow stamens that catch the light; a couple of lilies reveal faint purple veining at their throats, adding dimensional warmth to the pristine blooms. Intertwined with the lilies are creamy ivory roses in various stages - mostly tight buds and partially opened heads - whose petal layers overlap like soft silken spirals, producing a tactile richness that contrasts beautifully with the lilies' broad planes. Sprays of baby's breath tuck into every crevice, their tiny white florets creating a clouded, lace-like texture that breathes between heavier elements and gives the bouquet a graceful, old-fashioned intimacy. Small bright-green leaves edge the arrangement, their glossy surfaces offering a crisp counterpoint to the soft florals and helping to define the round silhouette. The lighting is even and soft, revealing subtle shadows in petal folds and emphasizing the bouquet's careful symmetry. This classic ensemble feels appropriate for ceremonial occasions - a bridal posy, an elegant table centrepiece for a reception along King Street, or a sympathetic tribute - and conveys a message of purity, solace, and refined celebration. The overall workmanship suggests a florist familiar with Hammersmith's tastes and occasions, creating something both timeless and locally resonant.

From a top-down, aerial view a perfectly round bouquet of white and cream blooms fills a pure white field, its symmetry and textures immediately apparent. Several large white oriental lilies form the bouquet's focal points, their trumpet-shaped petals unfurling with soft curves and showing pale yellow-to-green stamens at the centre; a few lilies have the faintest hint of purple at the throat, adding subtle depth to the otherwise ivory palette. Nestled between them are tightly furled cream roses and partially opened ivory roses whose velvety layers create a compact, rosette-like texture. Tiny clouds of white baby's breath (Gypsophila) are sprinkled throughout, their delicate sprays softening edges and lending a frothy, snow-like lightness that makes the composition breathe. Here and there bright green foliage peeks from beneath the flowers, the glossy leaves tracing the circumference and giving a fresh, living frame to the monochrome scheme. The lighting is gentle and diffuse, like soft morning light through a nearby window, which highlights petal translucence and the bouquet's refined structure without harsh shadows. This arrangement reads as a timeless bridal bouquet or an elegant centerpiece - perfect for intimate ceremonies near Hammersmith Bridge or quiet celebrations in flats off King Street - conveying purity, calm, and new beginnings. It feels handcrafted by an experienced florist who respects proportion and scent, the lilies' sweet perfume mingling with the roses' gentle perfume to create a subtle, lasting impression of understated luxury and sincere sentiment.

The Compassion Posy from Hammersmith Florist is a serene white funeral and sympathy arrangement, designed to express grace, peace and heartfelt remembrance. This classic round posy features smooth white roses, elegant white liliums and delicate gypsophila, creating a soft, heavenly look that feels both pure and comforting.

Handcrafted by our expert florists in Hammersmith, each Compassion Posy is carefully arranged for balance, texture and long-lasting beauty. Available in Original (approx. 28cm), Deluxe (30cm) and Grand (36cm, pictured), you can choose the size that best suits the tribute you wish to make. To maximise freshness, some blooms may arrive in bud, allowing you to watch the flowers gently open over several days.

Roses are delivered with their natural guard petals intact to protect the inner blooms during transit; these can be gently removed on arrival for a flawless finish. As some flowers are seasonal, we may substitute blooms with similar varieties of equal or higher quality, always keeping the white, tranquil style of the design.

    Funerals are part of life but they are rarely expected. I stumbled on this site when helping a friend with ideas for funeral posies. When we placed an order, they did not disappoint. It feels good to know you have a place to turn in times of dire need.

    I always thought ordering flowers online was kind of risky, however Handy Flowers proved to be very reliable and loyal company. Absolutely worth giving them a try no matter what the occasion is.
