Funeral
This sympathy card opens onto a tranquil illustration that feels as soft and contemplative as an early morning walk through a quiet park in Poplar. Delicate, umbelliferous blooms stretch up on fine, spidery stems, their flower heads shaped like tiny lace parasols, painted in a muted palette of violet, dusty lilac, and silvery green. The background is a gentle wash of colour, like watercolour clouds drifting across the sky, with no hard lines to jar the eye-only smooth gradients that suggest mist over the docks or light fog rolling in from the Thames. Each bloom appears almost translucent at the edges, as though captured in motion, nodding in a light breeze. Scattered among the stems, subtle butterflies appear, their wings so softly rendered that they feel like whispered symbols of hope, transformation, and a soul at peace. The scene is calm, without clutter or intensity, echoing the quiet moments we often find along Poplar High Street before the day begins. The overall impression is one of gentle understanding-a landscape that doesn't demand attention but quietly offers comfort. As a local florist, I sense the intention behind this design: to create space for grief while softly reminding the sender and recipient that nature carries us forward. This card would sit beautifully beside a simple condolence bouquet, expressing sympathy not through dramatic colour, but through restrained, enduring elegance.
