SPRAYS/SHEAVES
Laid against a bright white backdrop, this long sympathy spray appears almost like a painted brushstroke of red and green, a style of floral tribute often requested from Longford Florist for meaningful goodbyes across Longford. The composition follows a graceful, tapering line, fuller in the centre and delicately narrowing towards each end. Deep red flowers form the emotional core: velvety roses at different stages of opening are tucked among bold red gerbera daisies and clusters of softly frilled carnations, building up a rich tapestry of crimson tones that speaks of enduring love and remembrance. Interspersed with the reds, rounded lime green chrysanthemum pompons create fresh, spherical pops of colour, each one a tightly packed cluster of tiny petals. Their bright, almost neon hue introduces a contemporary twist, gently brightening the overall look without diminishing its solemn purpose. Scattered throughout the arrangement are fine sprigs of white filler flowers, likely dainty daisies or gypsophila, adding a subtle, cloud-like softness between the more intense colours. A strong base of mixed foliage anchors the spray: broad, glossy dark green leaves form a solid frame, while feathery ferns and other textured greens soften the silhouette and add a sense of gentle movement. On the lower right, long, flat leaves fan outward, echoing the flow of the piece and reinforcing its elongated shape. At the upper left, an artfully tied bundle of upright green stems is gathered and wrapped at the base with a single broad leaf, giving a modern, structured finish that adds height and interest. This carefully crafted memorial spray feels both timeless and current, a comforting choice for funeral services and farewells around Longford.
FAITHFUL GUARDIAN SPRAY
£75.00
Meet the Florist Choice Spray, a white-and-green moment crafted for the discerning recipient in Longford. From the soft light-grey backdrop, the bouquet reads as an open, inviting space: a core of pure white roses and cloud-like hydrangeas form the anchor, their blooms in multiple stages of unfurling. Surrounding them are smaller white flowers like lisianthus, their ruffled bells adding delicate movement, while pockets of crisp green gather the scene into a living frame. The greens-feathery ferns with their lacey texture, dusty grey-green eucalyptus, and glossy ruscus-create depth and a natural painterly contrast, letting the whites glow with pristine clarity. A slender white border sits over the centre panel, containing the label Florist Choice in a flowing script, followed by SPRAY in bold sans-serif. A narrow line separates the bottom price, shown as £100, which anchors the image as a product listing designed for online orders. The overall aura is timeless and refined, the kind of arrangement you'd choose to mark a significant moment with grace, whether welcoming a new home, commemorating a life, or offering heartfelt congratulations. This piece is available for same-day delivery across Longford and surrounding neighbourhoods, making it easy for customers from North Street to Riverside Park to share a gesture of care with loved ones.
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £100
£100.00
This serene white spray speaks of calm refinement, captured by a Longford florist who understands the language of restraint and grace. The arrangement centers on soft white roses-some in tight buds, others fully open-paired with generous, creamy hydrangeas that bloom into a plush, cloudlike mass. A line of slender white blooms, perhaps sweet peas, threads through the arrangement, adding gentle movement as they descend in a natural, unforced cascade. Interwoven among the flowers are Nigella (Love-in-a-Mist) with their distinctive green centers and delicate, feathery petals, lending a touch of architectural charm. The greens are carefully chosen: broad, dark leaves provide depth, lighter variegated foliage adds subtle contrast, and fine, feathery fronds soften the overall silhouette. Thin, rustic woody stems peek from the base, enhancing the spray's organic, garden-fresh appeal. In the center, a white square frame carries the scene's typography: Florist Choice in an elegant script, CHOICE SPRAY in clear uppercase, and the bold number ?200 at the base. The lighting is soft and morning-like, with a hint of dew on some petals, suggesting a bouquet that feels fresh from the shop and ready for immediate delivery. Ideal for a thoughtful gift or a refined centerpiece, this spray promises freshness and lasting beauty for days to come, with same-day delivery across Longford and nearby districts, crafted with care by your neighbourhood florist.
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £200
£200.00
A refined sympathy arrangement of white lilies and lisianthus lies on a diagonal against a crisp white background, its elongated form creating a sense of gentle movement, as if the flowers are quietly guiding a final goodbye. The top left section is lush and rounded, packed with stems and greenery, then narrows steadily towards the lower right where the last leaves and buds form a delicate point. The main focus is on several white oriental lilies, each flower large and sculptural. Some blooms are completely open, with silky petals arching outward to frame pale yellow stamens at the centre, while others are partially open or still in bud, their pointed forms adding rhythmic contrast. Alongside them, clusters of lisianthus in white with soft lavender or lilac edges nestle among the greens, their curled and ruffled petals lending a gentler, romantic texture. Numerous smaller buds are interspersed, providing subtle variation and a sense of natural growth. The arrangement is anchored by deep green foliage: broad leaves form a smooth, glossy base, while a few are folded and rolled into neat curls, resembling modern design accents. Long, fine palm-like fronds fan out from the right-hand side and tail end, tracing the line of the spray and adding an airy lightness. The overall colour palette remains cool and serene, with white and green softened by faint hints of purple. Crafted with care as if by Longford Florist for a chapel near the village, a country churchyard, or a crematorium service, this piece conveys quiet dignity, compassion, and sympathy for families gathering to honour a loved one.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
Set against a bright white background, this elongated red funeral spray from a Longford florist appears both stately and tender, like a final gesture of thanks. Its shape resembles a broad teardrop or casket spray, full and abundant at the upper left and gently tapering toward a fine, trailing point at the lower right. At the heart of the design lie numerous deep red roses, their velvety petals fully opened into generous spirals that seem to cradle unspoken memories. Threaded among them are clusters of red spray carnations, each tiny ruffled petal catching the light and introducing a subtle, feathery texture to soften the richer roses. The flowers are cradled in lush greenery. Strong, dark green leaves form a defined outline, holding the arrangement together, while round, silvery eucalyptus leaves settle between the blooms, bringing a hushed, cool contrast that recalls misty mornings along Longford's quiet streets and nearby green spaces. Delicate strands of light green trailing foliage extend from the spray, especially toward the lower right, giving a sense of gentle movement, as though the flowers are quietly flowing in one direction. The overall lighting is soft and even, with no harsh shadows, allowing each leaf vein and petal curve to be clearly seen. This design feels deeply appropriate for a funeral or memorial service, resting on a casket or displayed near a photograph, offering comfort and dignity to families in Longford who wish to express sympathy, love, and respectful remembrance with a classic red floral tribute.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Longford Florist presents a contemplative Florist Choice Spray, priced at ?300, arranged in a sunlit studio with a soft grey backdrop. The composition reads as an intimate conversation of white and purple, anchored by a cascade of ivory roses opening to their velvety centers, embraced by white lisianthus and slender freesias that drift like delicate music in the air. The purples advance with purpose: deep purple lisianthus, lavender-tinted eustoma, and spires of blue-violet veronica that rise with quiet confidence. Lavender limonium dots the gaps, while ferns and glossy green leaves weave a verdant frame around the bloom, creating a sense of generous abundance. A gentle, vertical rhythm gives the spray a timeless elegance.

Soft light catches the petals, highlighting their textures: the satin skin of roses, the papery ruffles of lisianthus, the crisp edges of freesias. The arrangement sits within a clear sense of space, so the eye travels from the base of the foliage to the crown of the purple towers. Across the middle, the crisp white overlay presents Florist CHOICE SPRAY in a refined typographic balance, with Florist rendered in a script and CHOICE SPRAY in bold capitals. The price ?300 follows, a clear sign of value in this carefully crafted tribute.

Designed for Longford's communities, this spray speaks to sympathy and remembrance-an expression that honours a life with presence and grace. Perfect for funeral homes, crematoriums, or as a mature, heartfelt gift, it is a testament to the craft of Longford Florist, with reliable same-day delivery across Longford and surrounding towns, bringing comfort where it is most needed.
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
An elegant sympathy sheaf stretches in a graceful diagonal across a stark white background, creating a striking contrast that emphasises its colours and contours. The stems are bound together securely at the upper left, from which the flowers and foliage spread out and gently taper down toward the lower right, forming a classic teardrop silhouette often seen at funerals and memorials. At the centre, Stargazer lilies unfurl their lush petals in deep fuchsia-pink, edged in pure white and speckled with burgundy, with several unopened buds revealing hints of the same vivid tones. Nestled around them are bright magenta gerbera daisies, whose daisy-like heads bring a sense of warmth and cherished memories. Creamy white roses appear in small clusters, some still in bud, others opening softly, their smooth petals evoking dignity, purity, and heartfelt love. Between these, ruffled white carnations add fullness and a gentle, cushioned texture that suggests comfort and care. Sprinkled throughout are tiny white daisy-style filler flowers, lending delicacy and movement. A generous border of greenery encases the blooms: broad, dark green leaves form a supportive framework, light, feathery fern fronds soften the edges, and long, slender green blades arch outward, emphasising the spray's elongated form. The overall mood is one of quiet respect, suitable for a farewell in Longford, whether placed beside a coffin, at a chapel, or delivered to a family home near the village centre. This floral tribute feels like something a local florist would design after listening closely to a family's memories, capturing both sorrow and gratitude for a life well lived in and around Longford.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
A serene funeral flower spray in a traditional teardrop shape is set against a clean white background, allowing every petal and leaf to be clearly seen. The arrangement widens towards the upper left where the flowers are most concentrated, then gently narrows to a delicate point at the lower right, suggesting the soft curve of a single tear. Soft pink roses are the main focus here; they appear in various stages of bloom, from tight buds to fully opened flowers, each displaying layers of smooth, velvety petals that spiral inward. Nestled closely among them are pristine white carnations and spray carnations, their ruffled, cushiony texture adding fullness and a luminous brightness beside the pink. Underneath and around the flowers lies a generous layer of foliage, with deep, glossy green leaves creating a solid, supportive base, and rounded, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves lightening the silhouette and adding a muted, calming tone. From the more slender, pointed tip of the spray, trailing strands of dark green ruscus cascade gently, giving a sense of gentle movement and natural grace. This arrangement would sit beautifully on a casket or as a focal tribute at a funeral in Longford, perhaps in one of the area's peaceful churches or crematorium chapels. Its combination of pastel roses, pure white blooms, and lush greenery offers a quiet message of sympathy and enduring affection, bringing a touch of gentle beauty to a time of farewell.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
This image shows an elongated white and green sympathy spray resting against a clean, white background, designed as a one-sided tribute that draws the eye from left to right like a slow, thoughtful procession. At the centre, large white lilies open generously, their satin-like petals curving with elegance, while their pale stamens add a soft touch of greenish-gold at the heart of each flower. Tapered lily buds, still closed, rise among the open blooms, introducing a feeling of ongoing life and unspoken words. Enfolding the lilies are creamy white roses in varying stages of bloom, some tightly layered, others cupped and partially open, creating a rhythm of different shapes and depths. White carnations provide a ruffled, almost cushiony backdrop, their intricate petals giving a sense of gentle abundance, while white Gerbera-style daisies punctuate the design with neat rings of petals around modest centres. Tiny white filler blossoms drift between the main flowers, like scattered whispers of memory, softening transitions and adding an airy lightness. The structure of the piece is built on lush greenery: broad, dark-green leaves lay a glossy, stable base; fine fern fronds soften the outline and trail lightly at the edges; and rounded eucalyptus leaves, with their muted blue-green hue, bring a cooling, contemporary character. At the top, long, slender leaves are looped and secured, giving a crisp vertical accent. From the lower right, a striking sweep of slim palm fronds extends outward, stretching the spray into a graceful, asymmetrical arc. The mood is tranquil and composed, echoing the stillness of Longford's quieter roads and churchyards, making this arrangement an apt choice as a funeral spray or memorial tribute for services held locally.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
The essence of condolence is beautifully captured in this cascading floral spray, masterfully assembled for moments of reflection and solace by Longford's local florists. Flowing on a bright white surface, lilies-pure and striking-anchor the piece, some fully open with golden centers beaming softly, others in bud, embodying balance between farewell and enduring hope. Deep pink roses, rich and luminous, nestle among the lilies, blending remembrance with gentle affection. White spray carnations mask the spaces between, softening the visual texture and enhancing the bouquet's plush fullness. Vivid green button chrysanthemums stand out, each sphere adding a contemporary twist and playful touch that lightens the palette. The scarlet shimmer of red hypericum berries dotted among the greenery brings lively contrast. The diverse foliage-glossy, arching leaves, feathery fronds, and long palm trails-gives the piece a graceful, fluid line reminiscent of the natural rivers and greenways found around Longford. Carefully crafted for funerals and memorials, this design mirrors the area's tranquility and sense of continuity. Under gentle natural lighting, every bloom and leaf glistens subtly, offering comfort and a tangible sense of peace to those bidding farewell within the local Longford community.
FOREVER ADMIRED SPRAY
£75.00
A stately blue and white rose spray lies diagonally across a clean white backdrop, its composition carefully crafted to guide the eye from a concentrated grouping of blooms at the upper left into a long, tapering sweep of greenery at the lower right. The main flowers are generous, fully opened roses, their petals soft and velvety, arranged in a deliberate mix of colours. Deep sapphire blue roses, almost glowing with intensity, alternate with creamy white and ivory roses whose gentler tone suggests peace and remembrance. No area feels too heavy with one colour, as the florist has woven the blooms together to create a serene, almost wave-like interplay of blue and white. Between the larger flower heads, delicate sprays of white baby's breath float in and out of view, adding a fine, airy texture and bright highlights that draw attention to the richness of the roses. Encircling this central ribbon of blooms, a bed of lush greenery supports and shapes the design. At the top left, feathery green ferns fan outward, lending lightness and movement, while darker, broader leaves provide a strong base and a glossy contrast to the soft petals. From the bottom right, long, slender palm fronds cascade in a gentle arc, defining the arrangement's classic teardrop outline that is often seen at funeral services and memorials in the Longford area. Interspersed among the foliage, bluish-green leaves reminiscent of eucalyptus introduce a cooler hue and a slightly different texture, enhancing the layered effect. Wide, striped green and cream leaves or ribbon have been folded into smooth bands and tucked through the greenery, adding a touch of structured elegance. The spray exudes quiet grace and compassion, an ideal tribute for families in Longford wishing to send a meaningful, professionally designed sympathy arrangement in shades of blue and white.
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
This photograph presents a beautifully composed funeral spray arranged horizontally against an uncluttered white background, allowing every flower and leaf to be clearly seen. The design is fuller, higher, and more rounded on the left side and then gradually tapers down into a refined, elongated point on the right, giving the impression of movement and a gentle sense of direction. Rich, deep red roses appear throughout, their velvety petals tightly furled, capturing the depth of affection and the weight of farewell. Interspersed among them are clusters of white carnations, each blossom made up of softly crimped, ruffled petals that form a delicate counterpoint to the smoothness of the roses. Together, they create a harmonious pattern of red and white across the top of a dense bed of greenery. This bed consists of broad, dark green leaves that provide a glossy, supportive base, reminiscent of the mature foliage seen in Longford's gardens and green verges. Threaded gracefully through the arrangement are sprigs of muted, silvery eucalyptus, their rounded leaves adding lightness and a cool, misty tone. On the right-hand edge, slender stems of trailing greenery extend beyond the main body of the spray, softening the outline and giving a natural, slightly wild finishing touch. The overall mood is calm, respectful, and heartfelt, making it a fitting choice for a casket spray or prominent tribute at a local Longford service. You can imagine this arrangement being placed thoughtfully in a chapel or crematorium, its classic red and white flowers offering comfort to those gathered to remember and say goodbye.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
This photograph shows a long, graceful sympathy spray arranged diagonally across a clean white field, allowing every detail of the flowers and foliage to come into sharp relief. A procession of deep red roses forms the main visual line, their petals plush and velvety, some still tightly furled while others open into generous, cup-shaped blossoms. Between them, small clusters of pinkish-red Hypericum berries offer gentle contrast, their rounded forms and slightly paler shade of red bringing texture and a soft transition between each rose. The entire arrangement is supported by an abundant layer of greenery: large, glossy dark green leaves, likely Ruscus or Salal, are carefully overlapped to create a solid, sculptural base, while finer, feathery fronds arc outward, especially along the lower right edge, giving the spray its elegant, elongated teardrop shape. The greenery appears fresh and vibrant, as though it has just been arranged in a Longford florist's workroom for same-day delivery to a nearby chapel. Gentle, even lighting enhances the natural shine of the leaves and the richness of the red petals, without distracting shadows. At the upper left, the exposed stems are neatly bundled and finished with a broad band of wrapped green leaf, adding a polished, handcrafted touch rather than a prominent ribbon. The result is a classic funeral tribute, understated yet full of emotion, well suited to be laid beside the coffin or at the front of the service in Longford, where its combination of deep reds and lush greens can offer comfort, convey respect, and honour a life with quiet, enduring beauty.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
Spread diagonally across a pure white backdrop, this refined sympathy spray appears like a flowing stream of white and green, full at one end and gracefully tapering to a slender tip. At the wider, upper left section, clusters of white and soft cream roses dominate, their petals arranged in tight spirals and open cups that bring depth and gentle movement to the eye. Some blooms are just starting to unfurl, while others are fully blossomed, each one showing the velvety texture typical of well-grown roses. Intertwined among them are soft white carnations, whose frilled, multi-layered petals create a delicate, ruffled effect, adding both volume and visual softness. These blossoms emerge from a cushion of varied greenery. Silvery-green eucalyptus leaves offer a cool, understated contrast to the creamy petals, while darker green foliage acts as a supportive frame that grounds the design. From the midsection to the lower right, slender stems and trailing greens, similar to ruscus, sweep downward and outward, accentuating the teardrop outline and suggesting a gentle downward drift, like a final bow. The overall impression is serene and respectful, a quietly powerful tribute that would sit naturally on a casket or as a front-facing display at a funeral service in Longford. One can imagine this spray being delivered early in the day to a chapel near local residential streets, its fresh fragrance and timeless palette providing comfort as family and friends arrive. The white and green combination feels both pure and grounded, offering a tender visual expression of sympathy and enduring love.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A refined, teardrop-shaped funeral spray stretches diagonally across a pure white background, beginning in a dense, carefully bound cluster at the top left and flowing down to a soft point at the lower right. The composition is dominated by luminous yellow roses, around fifteen or so in varying stages of bloom, from tight buds with neatly wrapped petals to open flowers revealing spirals of golden yellow at the centre. Between these roses sit small groups of deep red Hypericum-style berries, their rounded forms and lacquered surfaces providing a jewel-like contrast to the softness of the petals. A rich array of foliage surrounds and cradles the flowers: broad, dark green leaves are folded and layered at the head of the spray to form a sculpted, almost fan-like backing, while slimmer, palm-like fronds extend gracefully from the tail, their pointed leaflets echoing the tapered outline. The greens range from deep forest tones to fresh, mid-green hues, suggesting vitality even in a moment of farewell. Under clear, neutral lighting, every detail is visible-the subtle texture of each rose petal, the neat binding of the stems at the top, and the gently curving lines that lead the eye along the arrangement. This spray feels both modern and timeless, the kind of design a Longford family might select for a funeral or memorial service when they want something bright yet respectful. It would be at home resting on a casket, adorning a local chapel near Longford, or placed as a final tribute during a quiet graveside gathering, conveying affection, remembrance, and a touch of hope.
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
An elegant, elongated funeral spray in shades of pink stretches diagonally across a bright white background, its silhouette reminiscent of a falling tear. At the fuller end, numerous soft pink roses cluster together, some fully opened to show layers upon layers of satiny petals, others just beginning to unfurl. Their colour ranges from pale blush to a slightly deeper, antique-rose tone, creating a tender play of light and shadow. Interspersed among them, frilled light peach-pink carnations fill the design with their distinctive ruffled petals, adding both volume and a feather-soft texture that contrasts beautifully with the smooth roses. Beneath this lush canopy of flowers, rich dark-green foliage anchors the spray: broad, polished leaves cradle the blooms, while slimmer, more pointed greenery trails delicately from the narrower end, accentuating the teardrop form and lending a natural, almost windswept grace. The white background isolates the arrangement, allowing every curve and colour to be clearly appreciated, as though it were laid out in a chapel of rest near Longford or prepared for a final journey to a local cemetery. The composition feels contemplative, evoking the gentle hush of family and friends gathered to remember a life. This thoughtful casket spray, created with careful craftsmanship by a local florist, is intended to lie flat across a coffin or memorial surface, offering a soft, floral embrace that conveys love, respect, and solace even when words feel insufficient.
COMPASSIONATE FEELING CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Spread diagonally across a pure white background, a generous bouquet of around two dozen blush pink roses creates a soothing, contemplative scene that would feel at home in a quiet Longford living room during a time of remembrance. The bloom heads are clustered together toward the lower left of the image, forming a lush bed of petals, each rose carefully shaped with tightly spiralled centres that evoke delicacy and poise. Some petals have just started to unfurl, hinting at the fullness within, while others remain wrapped close, preserving a sense of gentle anticipation. The pink tones are restrained and elegant, blending soft blush with hints of dusty rose and very pale lavender in the shadowed spirals. Rich, dark green foliage forms a natural frame around the flowers, the leaves overlapping and curving gracefully around the stems. The stems themselves stretch away towards the upper right, aligned in a loose, organic bundle, suggesting the bouquet has been recently arranged by hand. The white backdrop heightens the contrast, allowing every nuance of colour and texture to stand out clearly. Even lighting spreads across the arrangement, accentuating the velvety surface of the petals and the subtle sheen of the leaves, yet maintaining a calm, diffused feel with no harsh highlights. The resulting impression is one of quiet dignity and tenderness, making this rose bouquet suitable for sympathy flowers, condolence messages, or memorial tributes across Longford. It could easily be pictured resting on a table after a service, or arriving as a thoughtful delivery to a home off Great South West Road, offering comfort, softness, and a reminder of enduring care.
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
Against a clean white background, this elongated funeral spray appears almost like a painted stroke of red and green, carefully composed to honour a loved one's memory. The eye is immediately drawn to the dense central cluster of deep red roses and plush carnations, their layered petals creating a rich, velvety surface that feels both luxurious and comforting. Red gerbera daisies are nestled among them, their bold, round faces and neatly radiating petals providing a striking contrast in shape, as if small bursts of light have been placed within the arrangement. Small white filler flowers, airy and delicate, peek between the red blooms, lifting the colour palette and adding a sense of gentle movement. Around this core, abundant foliage frames and supports the flowers: long palm leaves and sweeping greenery fan outward from the base, tracing the spray's refined outline, while darker, smaller leaves form a thick, cushion-like bed beneath, making the design look full from top to tip. Near the top-centre sits a prominent red satin bow, gleaming softly, its loops tightly formed and its tails trailing through the flowers like ribbons of love and remembrance. The overall shape follows a one-sided spray style, perfect for resting against a casket or standing on an easel during services in Longford, perhaps in a quiet chapel or at a crematorium serving the local community. The arrangement feels poised and dignified, expressing profound affection and respect, and would resonate with families seeking a classic red tribute that reflects both strength and tenderness during a farewell.
ALWAYS IN MY HEART CASKET SPRAY
£120.00
An elegant, elongated memorial spray presented on a simple white backdrop, rendered in a palette of soft whites and verdant greens that speak of comfort and remembrance. Creamy white roses, some showing fully opened layers of petal and others in sheltered bud form, create a tender focal heart, their powdery scent hinted at even in the photograph. Two immaculate white Calla lilies rise with sculptural purity, their smooth, trumpet-like curves adding modern lines to the traditional cascade. Scattered through the arrangement are vivid lime-green button chrysanthemums-small, spherical, and richly textured-introducing a livelier note against the serene blooms. Fine clusters of baby's breath drift lightly between stems, offering a cloud-like softness that lifts the composition. The foliage work is generous and varied: glossy deep-green leaves provide a dense foundation, variegated leaves with crisp white striping add subtle contrast, and delicate fern fronds crown the top with woodland freshness. Long, graceful blades of bright green foliage arch across the design, guiding the eye toward the broad, polished tropical leaf that forms the tapered base of the spray. A soft cream fabric bow at the upper left lends a classic, consoling finish. Hand-assembled with care for funeral and remembrance services, this arrangement is available for thoughtful delivery across Longford town centre, from the market area to surrounding neighbourhoods; it is prepared by Longford Florist to convey sympathy with quiet dignity.
SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
A long, double-ended coffin spray rests within a clean white frame, its colours and shapes forming a quiet yet deeply expressive memorial. The centre is anchored by vivid red Oriental lilies, their wide, starry blooms opening outward with a confident presence, symbolising devotion and the significance of a life remembered. Nestled around them are roses in soft cream, ivory, and pale pink, some fully open, others still cupped like secrets held close, their velvety petals catching subtle highlights. Light pink carnations, fluffy and ruffled, drift through the design like gentle sighs, while petite white daisy-type flowers and spray chrysanthemums add a sense of innocence and purity. Cool-toned accents of blue-purple thistles and small bunches of lavender and mauve filler blooms introduce depth and an almost meadow-like feel, balancing the warmth of the reds and pinks. Beneath this tapestry of colour lies a substantial bed of greenery: strong, broad, dark green leaves, trailing stems, and delicate, feathery sprigs that soften the edges and extend beyond the flowers, giving the spray its flowing, boat-shaped form. Imagined resting atop a coffin at a Longford service, perhaps on a quiet road leading towards the local church, this arrangement feels like a shared conversation between memory and farewell. It is the kind of piece a family might select when they want something traditional yet gently modern, a floral tribute that offers comfort to mourners while honouring the individuality of the person they are saying goodbye to, all lovingly prepared by skilled hands accustomed to serving the Longford community.
CARING THOUGHTS CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Displayed against a clean white backdrop, this sophisticated funeral spray is composed in a sweeping diagonal, beginning with the clustered stems at the upper left and gently cascading down to the lower right. The visual rhythm is anchored by generous gerbera daisies, their wide faces in shades of pale blush pink, saturated fuchsia, and rich magenta drawing the eye along the length of the design. Nestled between them are refined pink roses, the petals tightly layered to form elegant spirals that evoke love, gratitude, and respect. Fluffy white blooms, likely small chrysanthemums or carnations, are scattered throughout, their ruffled texture softening the stronger colours and adding a quiet note of peace. Fine sprays of tiny, daisy-like flowers thread through the arrangement, their white petals and yellow centres lending a light, garden-fresh charm. Bright red hypericum berries are tucked among the petals, offering a pleasing contrast in shape and colour with their smooth, rounded forms. Surrounding this blend of blossoms is a rich mantle of greenery: dark, glossy leaves create a structured backdrop, airy fern fronds add a sense of delicacy, and rounded eucalyptus leaves in silvery green bring both visual interest and a suggestion of cool, aromatic freshness. Long palm fronds trail outwards from the lower right, emphasizing the soft, flowing nature of the piece. The lighting is gentle and even, revealing subtle shadows and highlights without distracting from the overall calm. Imagined as prepared by a skilled Longford florist for delivery to a memorial service near Longford's green spaces or close to the airport chapels, this tribute conveys both sorrow and gratitude, offering comfort to families with its graceful balance of colour, texture, and thoughtful design.
LIGHT IN YOUR HONOUR SPRAY
£75.00
This hand-tied, elongated bouquet presents a serene study in white and green, arranged on a pristine white backdrop and oriented from top-left to bottom-right to emphasise its graceful sweep. At its heart are several pristine Calla lilies-creamy, trumpet-shaped flowers with glossy, sculptural petals that draw the eye along their long stems. They are cradled by a thoughtful mix of foliage: large, deep emerald leaves provide a sturdy, folded framework; delicate fern fronds soften the silhouette and add an earthy, woodland scent in the mind's eye; narrow variegated leaves with crisp green-and-white stripes brighten the central area; and slender grass-like blades lend gentle arcs and motion. Between these layers sit clusters of fine, pale-green leafy sprigs that create an almost frothy texture, filling gaps with natural ease. A substantial off-white linen or burlap bow secures the upper-left grouping, its tactile weave adding a quiet, rustic sophistication that complements the lilies' refined purity. The lighting is soft and even, revealing subtle shadows along the lilies' curves and the glossy sheen of the tropical leaves. This composition reads as both contemporary and timeless-equally suited to a dignified memorial, a minimalist wedding bouquet, or a tasteful gift for someone needing solace. As a Longford-based florist familiar with Main Street, the railway station and the town's calmer lanes, I picture this arrangement resting on a chapel lectern or delivered to a family home in the Market Square, where its simple elegance speaks of respect and gentle reassurance.
ETERNAL REST SPRAY
£70.00
Set against a perfectly white, uncluttered background, around twenty-four yellow roses are arranged in an elegant spray that flows naturally from one corner of the frame to the other. Each rose is captured with care, from tight, promising buds to partially opened blooms that reveal spiralling hearts of sunny yellow. The petals look velvety and substantial, with gentle curves and slight curls at the edges that suggest a living softness you might feel under your fingertips. Around the blossoms, clusters of deep green leaves form a rich, textured backdrop, their surfaces satiny and smooth, some leaves subtly turning to expose paler, almost grey-green undersides that play with the light. This contrast of glowing yellow and cool green is both calming and uplifting, much like a quiet walk along Longford's leafy streets on a bright day. The stems, slender and light green, gather towards one side, hinting at a hand-tied bouquet just set down by a thoughtful florist, ready to be taken to a family in need of comfort. Though yellow roses are often associated with friendship and gratitude, here their gentle radiance feels perfectly suited to sympathy, offering a soft message of support without heavy formality. The overall impression is one of patient tenderness: the roses seem to rest in stillness, their brightness softened by the clean white space around them. It evokes the idea of sending a respectful, understated condolence bouquet within Longford, one that quietly acknowledges loss while also carrying a sense of continued warmth and remembered joy.
