Funeral
This sympathy card captures the mood of an early, misty morning in Old Malden, when gardens are still and the air feels soft around you. A sweep of wildflowers, in the style of delicate umbellifers, stretches upward from the base of the design, each stem drawn as a fine, fluid line. Their flower heads scatter into tiny, star-like florets, rendered in cool shades of violet, dusky blue, and pale grey-lilac, giving the impression of something fragile yet quietly enduring. Behind them, the background dissolves into gentle watercolour washes of muted purple and soft silvery green, the tones bleeding lightly into one another like clouds reflected in shallow water. Transparent butterflies float among the stems, hinted at with minimal outlines and soft shading, suggesting motion without disturbing the tranquillity. There is a notable stillness to the composition, but it is not empty; it feels like a held breath, a pause to honour memory. The light across the scene is understated, more of a glow than a direct source, lending a comforting, enveloping quality. The sympathy message, written in a simple yet graceful script above or within the floral field, sits harmoniously within this atmosphere of reflection. At Florist Old Malden, we often look for designs that speak gently for those who are grieving, and this card does exactly that-offering imagery that doesn't demand attention but supports it, much like a quiet companion at a funeral service or a neighbour bringing flowers to a bereaved home in Old Malden.
