Displayed against a clean white background, this funeral wreath offers a classic yet striking combination of colour and texture, its circular shape symbolising continuity and remembrance. The wreath is densely packed, with very little foliage visible between the flowers, giving it a generous, substantial presence. A multitude of deep red carnations forms the heart of the design; each bloom is full and layered, petals crimped and frilled at the edges, folding in on themselves to create plush, rounded heads. Their colour is a strong crimson, warm rather than harsh, evoking both love and respect. Intermixed at regular intervals are clusters of lime green button chrysanthemums, also called pompon mums, whose small, perfectly spherical blooms appear as little green orbs nestled among the red. Their tightly arranged florets lend a precise, textured look that contrasts smoothly with the softer, wavier carnation petals. Supporting this floral tapestry is an underlay of mixed greenery, including dark fern fronds that provide a deep, shaded backdrop and variegated pittosporum leaves with creamy edges that flicker at the perimeter of the wreath like highlights catching the light. Carefully integrated into one side of the design, a wide green ribbon with darker diagonal stripes has been fashioned into loose, sculptural loops that echo the circular form of the wreath and add a handcrafted, bespoke detail. This arrangement would feel perfectly at home in a quiet chapel of rest off Orpington High Street, at a funeral service in nearby Locksbottom, or delivered to a family home in St Paul's Cray, offering a tender, elegant way to convey sympathy and celebrate treasured memories.

The photograph features a round funeral wreath set against a crisp white backdrop, making the rich interplay of red and green tones stand out with clarity. The wreath itself is a true circle, filled edge to edge with lush blossoms that create a seamless floral ring. Deep red carnations dominate, their multi-layered, frilled petals overlapping to give each flower head a soft, full appearance; together they form a continuous band of velvety crimson that radiates warmth and affection. Punctuating this red expanse are clusters of lime green button chrysanthemums, their compact, globe-shaped blooms arranged like bright notes in a melody, each one composed of countless tiny petals that sit snugly together. The contrast between the rich red and crisp green is eye-catching yet still appropriate for a solemn setting, bringing a sense of life and renewal to a design meant to honour someone's passing. Around and beneath the blooms, a bed of greenery-dark, feathery ferns and lighter, variegated leaves edged with cream-adds structure and subtle movement, softening the outline and drawing the eye gently around the circle. A length of decorative ribbon, in pale and dark green stripes, is tucked into one portion of the wreath and shaped into flowing loops that harmonise with the flowers rather than compete with them. The simple white background isolates the wreath, allowing every texture and detail to be seen, from the gentle shadows in the carnation folds to the sheen on the leaves. It is the kind of thoughtful tribute that would be chosen for a funeral or memorial gathering in Orpington, Petts Wood, or Chelsfield, offering quiet comfort and a dignified, beautifully crafted expression of farewell.
