Funeral
This sympathy card opens to a gentle, nature-inspired illustration that feels like a walk along the quieter paths near Woolwich Arsenal in early morning mist. Wisps of lace-like flower heads, fine and umbel-shaped, rise from a base of soft watercolour washes in violet, slate blue, and pale sage green. The stems are slender and slightly curved, giving the impression of wildflowers bending gracefully in a light river breeze. Behind them, a hazy blend of muted purples and greyed blues creates a dreamy backdrop, like fog lifting slowly over the Thames. Semi-transparent butterflies drift between the blossoms, their wings only faintly outlined, as though caught mid-flight in a moment of stillness and reflection. The overall effect is tactile and soft, as if you could run your fingers over the feathery petals and feel the gentle texture of handmade paper. The colours are cool yet comforting, evoking calm, quiet support, and a deep sense of understanding for someone walking through loss. As your local Woolwich florist, I see in this artwork the same balance we aim for in condolence flowers-subtle, respectful, and reassuring, a visual embrace for a grieving heart. The card's thoughtful design and simple, heartfelt sentiment offer a comforting pause, allowing space for remembrance and the slow, careful work of healing.
