A striking floral Celtic cross, pictured against a pure white background to accentuate its symbolism and three-dimensional form, made from impeccably fresh materials by florists who know Battersea's taste for considered design. The cross's framework is densely clothed in small white spray chrysanthemums that read like a soft, plush canvas-each tiny bloom contributing to an overall sense of purity and repose. Bright lime-green button chrysanthemums are woven through this white field in deliberate bands: they carve out the iconic circular ring where the arms meet and punctuate alternating sections along the horizontal arms, creating an arresting interplay of colour and texture reminiscent of traditional Celtic knotwork. At the vivid centre, a neat cluster of three orange-yellow roses provides a warm focal glow; their velvety petals and subtle perfume lift the cool palette and are gently ringed by deep green fernlets that heighten contrast and add natural movement. The colourway-white, green, and golden orange-hints evocatively at Irish heritage without becoming literal, making this composition especially apt for funerals or memorial services honouring Irish roots at local venues from Lavender Hill to stations near Battersea Power Station. Prepared with quiet craftsmanship in our Battersea studio at flowersbattersea.co.uk, the piece reads as both a spiritual emblem and a personal tribute, poised, dignified, and tender in equal measure.

A soft, tactile Celtic cross worked in crochet rather than blooms, photographed on a stark white backdrop and described with the intimacy of a maker who lives and crafts in Battersea. The main body is crocheted in a warm off-white cream yarn, the stitches creating a rounded, pillowy arm and shaft that reads almost like fabric petals from a distance. Bright emerald-green yarn is worked in with deliberate precision to outline the circular ring where the arms meet and to emphasize the outer edges of each arm, giving the piece a crisp, graphic nod to Irish knotwork while remaining gentle to the touch. At the very centre, a tiny trio of yellow-orange miniature rosebuds-carefully stitched or sewn on-adds a sunlit focal point; each rosebud is picked out with a dot of darker thread and accompanied by two small green leaves, introducing a hint of botanical realism against the textile surface. The lighting is soft and even, revealing the yarn's subtle sheen and the contrast between the creamy base and the jewel-like green, while shadows between stitches lend three-dimensional depth. There is a hand-made warmth to the work that suggests quiet devotion, suitable as a commemorative ornament, a keepsake for a funeral service, or a decorative tribute for St. Patrick's Day displays. As a Battersea craft piece it carries the reassuring rhythm of neighbourhood workshops near Battersea Arts Centre and local weekend markets on Northcote Road-an object of faith, culture, and gentle craft that invites touch as much as remembrance. The photograph reveals a beautifully structured memorial arrangement that feels both stately and heartfelt, clearly crafted by a skilled Battersea florist for an Irish-themed farewell. At the core of the design lies a generous stretch of pure white chrysanthemums, their layered petals forming a soft, cushiony plane that speaks of calm and purity. Resting in the very centre of this white field is a grouping of three roses in radiant shades of orange and golden apricot; their open blooms are full and velvety, catching the light like drops of evening sun. Around them, tiny green fillers and polished leaves create a gentle halo, while slender fern-like fronds extend outward, adding height and a touch of woodland grace. Enveloping the central white band, tightly packed lime-green cushion chrysanthemums run along the borders, dense and rounded like little moss mounds, giving the piece a strong, defined outline that subtly echoes the green of the Irish flag. The orange roses suggest the final stripe, completing the tricolour story in a refined, understated way. Every element is crisply visible-the contrast of white and green, the intricate rose centres, the interplay of textures. The mood is one of quiet solidarity and remembrance, making this design fitting for funerals, Irish wakes, or memorial gatherings across Battersea, from intimate services near the Thames to family goodbyes around Falcon Road, offering a floral expression of love, heritage, and peaceful farewell.
