A traditional Christian cross made entirely of flowers is positioned on a clean, white background, photographed from above to show the full design clearly. The body of the cross is luxuriously padded with white spray chrysanthemums, each head set so close to the next that they appear like a single, continuous bed of petals. Their crisp white colour and gentle, overlapping textures suggest purity, innocence, and remembrance, which are sentiments often sought by families arranging funeral flowers around Marks Gate and nearby Dagenham. Around the entire edge of the cross runs a wide band of royal blue satin ribbon. This ribbon is smooth, lightly reflective, and perfectly aligned along the contours of the cross, providing a defined frame and adding a stately, almost ceremonial feel. At the centre, where the horizontal and vertical arms meet, a prominent arrangement of royal blue blooms stands out. Full, frilled blue carnations form the main mass, their petals layered and slightly ruffled, while elegant, upward-reaching stems that resemble blue delphiniums or orchids add height and intricacy. These vivid blues are softly embraced by deep green fern fronds and robust foliage, which weave around the flowers and create a pleasing contrast that calls to mind the balance of greenery and built-up streets around Whalebone Lane and Marks Gate's residential avenues. Running along the vertical arm of the cross, the word "DAD" has been lovingly formed using the same royal blue satin ribbon, which is folded, looped, and arranged into clear capital letters. These letters sit gently atop the white chrysanthemum base, transforming the floral cross into a direct, heartfelt message for a father who has passed. Soft, diffused lighting casts a faint shadow under the arrangement, hinting at its depth and careful construction. Overall, the design conveys devotion, respect, and comfort, serving as a meaningful funeral or graveside tribute for families in and around Marks Gate.

A beautifully detailed floral cross funeral tribute rests on a pure white background, every element thoughtfully arranged by Florist Marks Gate to honour a cherished father. The entire cross is densely covered with pristine white spray chrysanthemums, their small, rounded blossoms pressed closely together to form a thick, cushion-like surface that feels soft and comforting, almost like a gentle blanket of petals. Encircling this white base is a regal border of royal blue satin ribbon, which follows the outline of the arms and stem in a clean, uninterrupted line. The ribbon's deep hue and delicate sheen lend the piece a composed, dignified air, reminiscent of calm blue horizons seen beyond the rooftops of Marks Gate. At the very centre of the cross, a striking cluster of royal blue flowers catches the eye: lush, ruffled blue carnations or similarly coloured blooms provide fullness, while more slender spikes that resemble blue delphiniums or orchids rise gracefully among them. These blue flowers are framed by dark, glossy green leaves and feathery fern fronds, creating a layered interplay of colour and texture that suggests depth and care. Along the vertical section of the cross, the word "DAD" is written not with ink, but with the very ribbon that edges the design. Each letter is carefully shaped from loops and folds of royal blue satin, resting clearly against the bed of white chrysanthemums and adding an intensely personal note. Gentle, even lighting and a delicate shadow beneath the arrangement reveal its three-dimensional quality without disrupting the serenity of the scene. This floral cross would feel at home at a funeral service, chapel farewell, or graveside committal anywhere around Marks Gate, conveying lasting love, gratitude, and quiet strength during a time of loss.

    The tribute was perfect. I requested to have the ribbon color changed and they were nice enough to arrange that. Good florists.
