Funeral
This sympathy card opens to a scene that feels like a quiet walk along the tree-lined streets of Denmark Hill at first light, when everything is muted and still. Tall, slender wildflower stems rise from the base of the design, their umbelliferous heads rendered in filigree detail, each tiny blossom forming part of a larger, cloud-like spray. The colour palette stays within gentle violets, faded purples, and silvery green tones, blending into a soft watercolour wash that recalls early morning haze over nearby Ruskin Park. The flowers themselves look almost weightless, their outlines gently blurred at the edges, as if they might sway with the faintest movement of air. Among them, butterflies drift in and out of view, their wings washed in the same cool tones, with just enough detail to suggest movement without breaking the stillness. There's a sense of breath and openness in the composition, with plenty of space between stems, giving the feeling that grief is being held carefully, not pressed upon. As a florist who often creates gentle funeral tributes for local families, I recognise the comfort in this soft, nature-led design: it feels like standing in a quiet meadow on the outskirts of Camberwell, surrounded by wildflowers and calm. The overall impression is one of tender compassion and thoughtful restraint, perfectly suited to convey sympathy where words are not enough.
