Funeral
This sympathy card opens to reveal a serene, nature-inspired scene that seems to float in soft morning light. Slender stems of wild, umbel-shaped flowers rise gracefully from the base, painted in translucent layers of lavender, dusky violet, and powdery blue, each bloom composed of tiny clustered florets that resemble lace. The flower heads lean in different directions, giving the impression of a light breeze moving over an open field, much like the quiet corners near the boating lake in Finsbury Park at first light. Behind them, a gentle wash of silvery greens and pale purples flows across the card, with no hard edges, just smooth blends and watercolour gradients that create a hushed, reflective atmosphere. Two butterflies drift among the blooms, their wings so delicately rendered they seem almost see-through, suggesting transformation, hopeful continuity, and a tender presence that never fully leaves. The lighting feels diffuse and soothing, as though filtered through soft clouds after rain, and the negative space around the stems allows the eye to rest, echoing the stillness that often accompanies deep remembrance. The design carries no bright or jarring colours; instead, every tone is measured and quiet, like a gentle conversation with someone who understands grief. As a florist serving families around Finsbury Park, Crouch Hill, and the nearby streets, I recognise in this card the same sense of thoughtful restraint we aim for in sympathy flowers: a calm, respectful way to say, "I'm here," without overwhelming the heart, perfect to send alongside a condolence arrangement delivered locally.
