Funeral
The sympathy card's illustration unfolds in graceful layers, reminiscent of a serene landscape painted with the same care that goes into a hand-tied condolence bouquet. Slender stems rise from the base, reaching upwards in gentle arcs, each supporting a lace-like umbel of tiny blooms drawn in soft tones of violet, lilac, and powder blue. These wildflower silhouettes appear both intricate and airy, their edges fading lightly, as if dissolving into the atmosphere. Behind them, a smooth wash of watercolour shifts from muted purples to silvery, blue-green notes, evoking a misty horizon one might glimpse on an early stroll around the quieter corners of Tolworth. The background remains intentionally blurred, allowing the flowers to stand forward without overwhelming the senses. Small, almost transparent butterflies drift between the stems, their wings barely coloured, suggested more by shape and light than by detail. They add an impression of gentle motion and subtle hope, like memories that continue to hover nearby. The overall lighting is soft and even, with no strong shadows-just a calming glow that feels akin to the soft daylight filtering through a window in a Tolworth home where sympathy flowers have just been delivered. The mood is reflective and compassionate, offering space for sorrow and remembrance without intrusion. As a local florist, I see how this design harmonises beautifully with simple funeral sprays and sympathy arrangements in dusky purples and whites, creating a cohesive, tranquil tribute. It becomes a quiet visual embrace, perfectly suited for expressing sincere condolences in a tender, understated way.
