Funeral
The sympathy card unfolds like a soft breath of wind crossing Primrose Hill at first light, its artwork composed of slender wildflower silhouettes and floating butterflies painted in a muted, watercolour haze. Tall, spidery stems rise from the base of the card, their umbel flower heads spreading out in delicate clusters of lavender, violet, and silvery green, each tiny floret drawn with filigree precision yet softened at the edges. The blooms seem to glow against a dreamy background wash, where pale purple melts into powdery blue and soft grey-green, echoing the distant trees and rooftops you glimpse from the top of the hill on a quiet morning. Light appears diffused and gentle, with no harsh lines, so that the entire scene feels like a memory rather than a snapshot. Nestled among the airy stems, a few butterflies drift in semi-transparent layers of colour, their wings just lightly suggested, like a symbol of the soul's ongoing journey. There is a calming rhythm in the spacing of the flowers, a natural rise and fall that allows your eyes - and your thoughts - to rest. As a florist working close to the Primrose Hill gardens, I see in this design the same reverence we bring to funeral and condolence tributes: understated tones, careful composition, and a focus on quiet beauty. The card feels like an intimate gesture for someone mourning a loss in NW1, a painted moment of stillness that offers company, remembrance, and an unspoken promise that love endures even in the softest of colours.
