Funeral
The illustration inside this sympathy card carries the same quiet grace you might feel wandering through St James's at first light, when the streets are still and the sky is washed with blue-grey and lilac. Fine, tapering stems stretch upward in loose clusters, each topped with a delicate umbel of tiny flowers drawn in filigree lines. Their colours drift through soft gradients of lavender, dusky indigo, and muted blue, punctuated by faint touches of silvery green at their bases. The flowers do not shout; instead they float upon a background of translucent watercolour, where pools of violet blend into gentle mists of grey-blue, like reflections on the lake in nearby St James's Park after light rain. Between the stems, a small handful of butterflies hang in the air, their wings so lightly outlined they seem to be made of the same soft light that shapes the scene. Their presence hints at transformation and enduring love rather than overt symbolism, fitting for moments when grief in central London homes and chapels calls for something thoughtful but reserved. The composition is generously spaced, leaving restful pockets of pale colour between stems and blossoms, echoing the open lawns and quiet corners near St James's Palace and the surrounding streets. Seen through the eyes of someone who arranges sympathy flowers for families across SW1, this card feels like a visual embrace-gentle, respectful, and sincere. Paired with a bouquet in cool lilacs, whites, and greens, and delivered to a memorial gathering or private residence around St James's, it offers an understated yet deeply felt expression of sympathy.
