Against a stark white background, this large, cascading floral spray appears almost sculptural, its teardrop form carefully shaped to flow from a broader top section to a refined, pointed base. At the centre of the design is a rich mass of roses, all fully open and lush. About half of these roses are coloured a deep sapphire blue, velvety and dramatic, while the remaining blooms are creamy white and pale ivory, bringing a soft, luminous balance. Arranged so that blue and white are interspersed throughout, the roses create a graceful interplay of light and shadow, reminiscent of clear skies and clouds over Longford on a calm day. Interlaced with the larger blooms, small clouds of white baby's breath introduce fine, airy texture, helping to bridge the spaces between flowers and adding a gentle, romantic haze. The roses rest on a foundation of varied greenery that shapes and supports the spray. Broad, glossy dark green leaves provide a strong visual backdrop; bright green fern fronds stretch out with feathery lightness from the top left; and long, arching palm fronds fall and fan from the lower right, marking the direction of the cascade. Tucked among the blooms, bluish-green, eucalyptus-like sprigs add muted, silvery tones and a subtle change in leaf form. Several larger leaves have been artfully folded and wrapped into sleek bands or coils that thread through the composition, giving a tailored, almost ribbon-like effect. The finished arrangement feels both formal and tender, an appropriate choice for funeral flowers or a memorial tribute in Longford, where families may seek a blue and white rose spray that speaks quietly of remembrance, loyalty, and peace.

The photograph shows a refined, elongated funeral spray arranged against a clean white backdrop, its form tapering gently from a fuller upper section to a soft point at the lower right. The design is dominated by a generous cluster of roses, each bloom fully open and richly petalled. Roughly half of these roses are dyed a vivid sapphire blue, creating pools of deep, velvety colour, while the rest are creamy white and ivory, their paler tones offering a calming, luminous contrast. The blue and white roses are woven evenly throughout the spray, so that the eye travels smoothly along the length of the arrangement. Nestled between the larger blooms, delicate sprays of white baby's breath add a fine, lace-like texture, softening the strong shapes of the roses. Surrounding this central floral mass, an abundance of greenery frames and guides the overall silhouette. Broad, shiny dark green leaves provide a sturdy base; soft, feathery fern fronds extend from the top left edge, suggesting gentle movement; and long palm fronds trail from the lower right, completing the characteristic cascading line associated with traditional sympathy tributes. Interspersed among the foliage, bluish-green, eucalyptus-style sprigs introduce a subtle shift in both colour and texture. Some of the broad leaves have been expertly folded and formed into decorative bands that wrap through the composition, adding a touch of contemporary structure. The effect is one of quiet elegance and respectful beauty, the sort of blue and white rose spray that might rest on a casket or stand beside a memorial display during a Longford service, expressing love, condolences, and a serene farewell.

    Handy Flowers was the best! I had no idea what flowers to buy for a colleague who had lost a child. Their suggestions were very helpful. The flowers delivered also looked crisp and fresh. I'm very grateful.

    I'm good with flowers and many times I find myself modifying the arrangements I get from florists. When I placed an order here, I was surprised by the creativity that went into making the arrangements. For the first time, I was completely satisfied with the sprays just the way they were delivered. Thank you for taking care of my needs.
