Funeral
The sympathy card design presents a serene floral landscape, as if a delicate wildflower patch has been translated into watercolour and held still on the page. Slender stems rise in loose clusters, topped with lacy umbels that resemble cow parsley or Queen Anne's lace, drawn in translucent layers of violet, muted lilac, and misty blue-green. The colours bleed together the way evening light does over the reservoirs near Manor House, creating a horizon of calm, cooling tones. Some flower heads are more defined, tiny dots and lines suggesting seeds and petals, while others fade gently into the background, giving depth and a sense of distance. Among the stems, small butterflies float, their wings only lightly outlined, so they almost blend into the surrounding colour, like a fleeting moment of comfort during grief. The background itself is a wash of pale purples, silvery greys, and soft blues, with no strong edges, just a subtle gradation that feels like fog slowly lifting. In the upper part of the card, a short sympathy message rests in flowing script, unobtrusive yet heartfelt, leaving room for personal words to be added inside. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, the kind of peace you find on a slow walk down Seven Sisters Road early in the morning, when life feels gentler. As a florist who often helps local families choose condolence flowers for services around Manor House, I see how this card's gentle design mirrors the dignity of a well-chosen spray or wreath: thoughtfully composed, respectful, and meant to cradle the recipient in a sense of calm remembrance.
