Funeral
Inside this sympathy card, a delicate wildflower illustration unfolds with the same gentle grace you might notice on an early stroll through the green paths around Petts Wood. Thin, almost reed-like stems rise from the lower edge of the card, each crowned with fine umbels that spread into small clusters of blossoms. The flowers are rendered in muted tones of lavender, soft indigo, and cool violet, softened by hints of silvery sage, so that no single colour dominates. They seem to glow out of a background softly washed in pale mauve and cloudy blue, the watercolour transitions so smooth that the edges blur into a calming haze, like distant woodland seen through light mist. The blooms themselves feel airy and filigreed, as if you could see the sky through their tiny, lace-like heads. Hovering among them are a pair of butterflies, painted with translucent wings that echo the surrounding hues, their presence quietly suggesting transformation and gentle companionship. Light appears diffused through the whole composition, with no sharp contrasts, creating an overall impression of tenderness and rest. The card does not shout its message; it offers instead a still moment, a pause to breathe and remember. As a florist serving families in Petts Wood, I recognise how this kind of restrained, nature-based design can comfort someone at a funeral or memorial, sitting gracefully beside a modest spray or wreath. Together, the butterflies, soft colours, and wildflower silhouettes form a visual condolence-an elegant way to say, "I'm here with you," even when words are hard to find.
