Funeral
This sympathy card opens to reveal a scene as soft and contemplative as an early morning stroll along Millbank, when the light over the Thames is cool and diffused. Against a wash of muted purples, silvery greens, and hints of dove grey, slender umbels and wildflower heads reach upward, their stems long and fine, like ink sketches touched with watercolour. The flowers appear almost weightless, their lacy tops fading delicately at the edges, suggesting motion without any rush, a slow, calming sway as though stirred by a gentle breeze from the river. Among these airy blooms, butterflies are scattered with the lightest of touches, their wings softly tinted in lavender and bluish tones, semi-transparent and poised mid-flight. They lend a quiet hopefulness, a sense of spirit and continuity beneath the sadness. The background is slightly misted, blending one hue into another, with no sharp boundaries-much like memories that drift in and out when we pause to remember someone loved. A simple, heartfelt message is set above the floral illustration in a graceful script, leaving plenty of open space around the design so it never feels heavy or overwhelming. The overall impression is one of calm understanding, the visual equivalent of a gentle hand on the shoulder. As a florist serving families in Millbank and nearby Westminster, I see how this card pairs beautifully with soft-toned funeral flowers, offering a tender, nature-inspired expression of sympathy that acknowledges loss while quietly honouring a life cherished.
