RETIREMENT FLOWERS
A carefully crafted mixed bouquet is photographed against a clean white backdrop, the flowers forming a generous, rounded dome of colour that feels both joyful and composed, like a calm walk along the Thames Path in Surrey Quays. In the centre, two striking, dark red roses anchor the design, their velvety petals unfurling in tight spirals that suggest devotion, romance, or deep appreciation. Around them, clusters of white daisy-like chrysanthemums spread out in confident circles, each with a vivid lime-green centre that gives a lively burst of energy, much like the fresh greens around Russia Dock Woodland in spring. Threaded between the white blooms are numerous soft pink and medium pink daisy-style flowers, also with bright green hearts, their petals slightly overlapping to create a cushioned, almost plush texture. Delicate sprays of pale pink waxflower weave through the arrangement, adding tiny, star-shaped blossoms that lend a fine, airy texture and make the bouquet feel light and breathing, rather than heavy. Lush foliage in varying shades of green, from broad, darker leaves to lighter, more delicate greens, cradles the blossoms and adds natural depth. The stems are aligned and tied tightly by hand, suggesting a bouquet ready to drop into a favourite vase in a Surrey Quays flat or riverside home. The overall impression is of a fresh, uplifting gift suitable for celebrations, get well wishes, or simple everyday gratitude, the mix of reds, whites, and pinks creating a soothing yet vibrant presence that would suit both modern and traditional interiors around SE16.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
Set against a bright white backdrop, a colourful bouquet appears almost to leap forward, its rounded, hand-tied form full of detail and life, as if just lifted from the workbench of a florist near Surrey Quays. The design is densely packed, creating a generous dome of flowers with no obvious gaps, each stem purposefully placed. Dominating the eye are several fully opened roses whose petals blend from a sunny yellow inner swirl to warm orange and a hint of reddish-orange along the outer rims, capturing the cosy glow of evening light along the Thames Path. Between these roses, crisp white chrysanthemum daisies are sprinkled liberally, their smooth petals radiating around vivid lime-green centres that seem almost fluorescent against the surrounding colours. Adding richness and depth, clusters of magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums are tucked throughout, their many tiny petals forming plush, button-like blooms with yellow-green centres mirroring the daisy hearts. Dark, glossy greenery, possibly ruscus, peeks through in small arcs and slivers, giving the bouquet structure, contrast, and a sense of natural movement. At the bottom, the stems are neatly gathered and visibly cut, fanning slightly where they meet the clean white surface, ready to be placed in water in an apartment overlooking Southwark Park or near Canada Water station. The overall effect is bright, joyful, and modern, a bouquet that could easily mark a promotion, a birthday, or a simple "thinking of you" gesture, bringing a burst of colour and fresh, garden-like texture into homes around Surrey Quays and beyond.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
This jubilant bouquet, brimming with local character, features warm-toned blooms inspired by the unique charm of Surrey Quays. Viewed from above against a minimal white background, the centerpiece bursts with lush roses, shaded in soft apricot through to lively orange, their petals forming gentle spirals that recall the playful ripples on Surrey Water. Woven between these radiant roses, clusters of chrysanthemums bring varied texture: crisp white, daisy-like petals radiate from lime-green or yellowish hearts, their freshness reminiscent of the spontaneous flower patches that flourish along the Thames Path. Striking magenta and purple chrysanthemums offer a visual counterpoint, each bloom dense with shimmering, vivid petals circling grassy green centers. Encircling foliage in deep, polished green tones-suggestive of ruscus or robust garden greens-provides an abundant, enveloping frame, amplifying the brightness of each flower and evoking local park woodlands. Trailing with gentle movement over the top, a loop of graceful bear grass introduces a hint of modern artistry, like the gentle swish of Willow trees near Russia Dock Woodland. The bouquet is gathered at its base with a textured wrap of vibrant orange cellophane, layering an extra note of festivity and tying together the fiery warm hues in a subtle celebration of community. Ideal for birthdays, thank you gestures, or acts of kindness, this arrangement exudes happiness and a sense of place, reflecting the spirit of everyday life in Surrey Quays.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
A full, rounded bouquet of chrysanthemums in white, cream, and lime green is photographed against a clean white background, capturing the crisp, contemporary style often favoured in Surrey Quays homes and offices. The bouquet has been expertly hand-tied, forming a compact dome of blossoms with barely a stem visible beneath the mass of petals. Dominating the arrangement are large chrysanthemum heads in shades of pure white and soft creamy yellow; their finely layered petals radiate from subtle green or pale yellow centres, giving each bloom a plush, almost cloud-like appearance. Interwoven between these focal flowers are sprays of smaller, daisy-like chrysanthemums, with multiple petite white florets that add intricate texture and a sense of movement, softening the overall silhouette. Scattered among the whites are striking lime green pompon chrysanthemums, perfectly round and densely petalled, resembling tiny mossy globes. Their intense green tone brings a lively, modern accent to the design, echoing the vibrant greenery found along the Thames Path or around Russia Dock Woodland. Deep green foliage emerges occasionally from within the arrangement, providing a rich backdrop that enhances the freshness of the pale blooms and keeps the colour palette grounded in nature. The stems at the base are gathered firmly, cut to a uniform length, and securely wrapped with a wide lime green satin ribbon tied into a polished multi-loop bow, mirroring the bright green pompons above. The bouquet feels both calming and energising at once, making it an ideal choice for celebrating new beginnings, sending a thoughtful get well message, or offering a gentle, elegant tribute delivered across Surrey Quays and nearby Canada Water.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
In this image, a hand-tied bouquet stands out dramatically against a flawless white background, as if freshly lifted from a florist's workbench. The central focus is a cluster of lush roses fully opened, their petals tinted from creamy ivory to a subtle pastel yellow, forming generous spirals that speak of classic romance and refined style. Surrounding them are rich fuchsia-magenta chrysanthemums, their multi-petalled, daisy-like blooms radiating from yellow-green centres that shimmer like drops of light, injecting joyful energy into the piece. Interlaced through the stronger colours, slender stems of tiny white daisy-style flowers - reminiscent of chamomile or Matricaria - break up the intensity; their petite white petals and bright yellow discs give the arrangement a soft, garden-grown charm. Here and there, smaller chrysanthemum buds in a slightly deeper purple-pink hue peek from between the open heads, adding dimension and the promise that the bouquet will continue to unfold over the next few days. Around and beneath the flowers, a collar of fresh, verdant foliage offers contrast, the darker greens of rose and mum leaves helping the lighter tones sing. The stems are drawn neatly together and bound with a green and white checkered ribbon, giving a gentle, homely touch, as though prepared for a walk along the riverside paths near Surrey Quays or a doorstep delivery by a trusted local florist. Soft, even lighting highlights the velvety quality of the roses and the crisp edges of the chrysanthemums, while barely there shadows create a sense of depth. The overall impression is one of joy, appreciation, and thoughtful craftsmanship, suited to birthdays, thank-you gestures, or simply brightening a flat overlooking the docks.
LOVELY DREAMER
£50.00
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A softly rounded hydrangea bouquet stands out against a pure white backdrop, the clean setting drawing attention to its cool palette of whites, blues, and greens. At the centre of the design, a large, cloud-like cluster of creamy white hydrangeas forms a plush, inviting focal point, every tiny floret contributing to a dense, cushiony texture. Around this central bloom, full heads of pastel sky-blue hydrangeas rise to the upper left and right, their petals blending delicate blue tones reminiscent of a clear morning sky over Surrey Quays' marina. At the lower left and upper right, smaller domes of lime-green hydrangeas nestle among the larger flowers, their chartreuse petals providing a lively, invigorating accent and echoing the fresh foliage in Southwark Park at the start of the season. Threaded throughout the bouquet is a rich mix of greenery: rounded, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves curve gently outward with a soft, matte surface, adding a cool, modern feel, while darker, glossy foliage with slightly pointed leaves fills the spaces between blooms, deepening the overall texture and volume. The stems of the hydrangeas and greens extend naturally downward, meticulously gathered and bound at the base in classic hand-tied fashion, suggesting the bouquet is ready for a vase on a Rotherhithe dining table or office desk. Soft, even lighting emphasises the subtle variations in hue from petal to petal and highlights the layered structure of the foliage without casting harsh shadows. The overall impression is of serene, contemporary elegance and quiet abundance, perfectly suited for birthdays, anniversaries, thoughtful sympathy gestures, or simply bringing a sense of calm, coastal-inspired beauty into a Surrey Quays home.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
Set against a spotless white background, this vibrant mixed bouquet feels like a colourful pause in the middle of busy Surrey Quays life. Large, open pink roses sit at the heart of the design, each bloom composed of many silky petals that curl gently at the edges, creating a sense of softness and warmth. They are ringed by bright yellow gerberas, whose flat, daisy-like petals surround dark brown centres, adding a bold contrast that immediately catches the eye, much like the bright reflections across the water by the Surrey Quays shopping centre. Taller stems of rich blue delphiniums stretch gracefully above the rounded body of the bouquet, their vertical lines and cool colour tempering the brightness of the yellows and pinks below. The arrangement is thick with varied greenery: airy fern fronds spill from the sides, while compact clusters of vivid green filler flowers sit snugly between the main blooms, giving the piece volume and a slightly cushiony texture. At the base of the flower heads, broad, shiny tropical leaves in deep green curve elegantly around, forming a smooth collar; a few bear lighter green striping that adds subtle pattern and interest. Delicate pale green stems, tipped with small, tight buds that have yet to open, reach upward and out, lending an informal, freshly gathered feel, as if the bouquet could have been picked from a local riverside garden. The stems below are neatly aligned, bound with a soft, light-coloured wrap and finished with a simple bow, leaving the natural green stems clearly visible. Crafted in the spirit of Surrey Quays Florist's local designs, this bouquet conveys joy, celebration, and friendly energy, ideal for sending a bright message to someone living near Canada Water, Rotherhithe, or along the dockside walkways.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
Against a pure white backdrop, this hand-tied bouquet appears as a vivid study in colour and texture, like a piece of floral art created in a Surrey Quays studio. At the heart of the design, garden roses in tones of blush pink, dusty rose, and antique mauve unfold in layered spirals, each petal gently curling back to reveal the full, romantic shape. Nestled around them, frilled carnations add abundant softness, their petals fading from creamy, almost ivory centres into deeper rose, fuchsia, and plum at the edges, creating an ombré effect that feels both modern and nostalgic. Between the pinks, rich indigo-blue buds punctuate the arrangement with bold contrast, while a prominent royal blue anemone with a dark, nearly black centre holds the eye near the base, adding intensity and drama. Slender stems of stock in pale lavender and lilac rise gracefully among the larger blooms, their many small blossoms giving a sense of lightness, movement, and a hint of powdery fragrance. Surrounding all of this is a generous frame of greenery: deep green leaves give structure and depth, while cool, rounded eucalyptus in a silvery-green hue softens the edges and suggests a refreshing scent, like fresh air drifting across the water by South Dock. The stems are gathered in a clear, hand-tied bundle, visible at the bottom and suggesting a bouquet just finished and ready for same-day delivery in Surrey Quays. The overall palette of romantic pinks, soft purples, rich blues, and lush greens makes it ideal for marking birthdays, anniversaries, or simply sending a comforting gesture across the neighbourhood.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
As I assemble this bouquet for a customer in Surrey Quays, I follow the delicate interplay between pale blush gerbera daisies and elegantly formed pink roses-a soft duet of blooms, their shades blending gently like watercolours reflecting the peaceful morning light over the docks. Bold strokes of rich purple statice punctuate the composition, adding a touch of excitement much like the bustling community at South Dock. The bouquet's fresh green leaves feel cool and dewy, grounding the swirling, luminous blooms with a sense of renewal inspired by the parks near Surrey Quays Road. Presented in an understated glass vase, every colour seems to softly glow, inviting closer admiration. Whether meant to comfort someone on their recovery, mark a special day, or simply lend a little light to a contemporary flat, this arrangement embodies both skilled craftsmanship and the everyday joys found throughout the Surrey Quays neighbourhood.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
A beautifully rounded bouquet of pink, purple, and green is shown in sharp detail against a clean white background, evoking the sense of a carefully crafted design from a Surrey Quays Florist studio near the water. In the heart of the arrangement, soft pastel pink roses take centre stage, some still in tight buds and others open in layered spirals, with subtle gradients of colour moving from richer pink centres to paler outer petals, a few blooms edged with slightly deeper pink for definition. Embracing these roses are several large carnations in dusky rose and muted mauve tones, their densely ruffled petals creating a plush, textured core that makes the bouquet feel generous and abundant. Pushing upward through the arrangement, long, slender spikes of Veronica in deep lavender-blue bring height and an elegant, vertical line, their tiny clustered florets adding a fine, almost feathery detail. Nestled around them, rich purple lisianthus blooms and buds provide velvety depth and a slightly cooler, more dramatic note amid the softer pastels. Threaded throughout, airy sprays of small aster-like flowers in lilac and periwinkle with delicate yellow centres lend a light, cloud-like quality, reminiscent of wildflowers seen on a walk around Southwark Park or along the Thames Path. Surrounding the flowers is a varied collar of greenery: bright lime-green textural filler that pops vividly against the petals, alongside silvery-green eucalyptus and other foliage that curve naturally to frame the design. The fresh green stems are visible at the base, neatly tied to show a classic hand-tied bouquet ready for a vase in a Surrey Quays apartment with views of the water. The overall effect is of a sophisticated yet approachable arrangement, ideal for thoughtful gestures, from birthdays and anniversaries to simple "thinking of you" surprises, bringing a sense of calm beauty indoors.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
In this masterfully arranged bouquet inspired by the lively spirit of Surrey Quays, bold sunflowers stand tall, their golden petals and darkly radiant centres facing outward as if basking in endless daylight. Surrounding them, golden-yellow roses open in velvet spirals, adding plush texture and a gentle luminosity that reflect the area's riverside charm. Scattered throughout, crimson Hypericum berries offer vivid contrast, resembling bright beads of joy echoing cheerful community gatherings near Deal Porter Square. Fringed by soft, delicate ferns and wispy greenery, the bouquet's edges blend seamlessly with echoes of the wild vegetation that borders Surrey Quays' scenic walkways. A touch of cool eucalyptus introduces a gentle blue-green accent, imbuing the composition with modern freshness. The round, completely clear glass vase lets the stems appear as an intricate understructure, magnified in shimmering water under soft indoor light. Each floral detail, from petal to berry, is arranged to evoke celebration, unity, and moments shared-so whether displayed for a significant occasion or simply to infuse a room with Surrey Quays Florist's characteristic cheer, this bouquet brings both artistry and heartfelt local flair to the heart of the community.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
On pristine display is a vibrant hand-tied bouquet of Gerbera daisies, meticulously prepared and presented in a clear glass vase that allows every detail to shine through-evocative of the sunlit windows found in homes throughout the Surrey Quays area. The bouquet features radiant yellow, burnt orange, and eye-catching magenta Gerberas, each flower with a sharply contrasting dark centre, creating a scene of visual joy and celebration. Flourishes of lush green foliage meander among the stems, adding texture and organic warmth. The arrangement is wrapped in rustic, light brown paper with a gentle, earthy texture, then elegantly sheathed in glossy cellophane that catches the light just so, forming a refined, protective cone. The sturdy green stems, trimmed and hydrated in fresh water, are visible through the vase's transparent sides-a subtle assurance of the blooms' freshness, as seen at local Surrey Quays Florist shops. Tied gracefully around the stems, twine secures a small rectangular white tag, adorned with a delicate red rose design. The composition evokes a sense of celebration-perfect for brightening a riverside apartment on Rope Street, congratulating a friend, or marking a special occasion at a Rotherhithe gathering. Every facet of this bouquet radiates care, happiness, and the enduring charm of expertly arranged, locally delivered flowers.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
As a florist in Surrey Quays, I take pride in capturing the area's contemporary elegance, and this opulent bouquet reflects just that. Each rose in the arrangement radiates with hues that fade from bold coral and peach at the tightly curled centers to sweeps of rosy pink and sunset salmon at the outer petals-like the sky over Canada Water at dusk. The petals are irresistibly plush, their velvety surfaces glimmering softly in studio light, while the bouquet's shape feels generous yet refined. Laced through the mass of blooms are glossy, dark green leaves-eucalyptus and salal-that serve as a radiant counterpoint, hinting at the tranquil parks and waterways that define Surrey Quays. Anchoring the scene, a Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolate bag in gentle beige stands upright, flaunting the brand and an illustration of mouthwatering chocolate truffles. Two truffles, unwrapped and gleaming, rest nearby, their smooth, rich brown shells promising a tangy, crisp orange centre. The bouquet's neatly bound stems and lush fullness conjure the feeling of freshly prepared arrangements, perfect for milestone anniversaries, surprise birthdays, or thoughtful thank-yous after an afternoon in Russia Dock Woodland. This harmonious pairing of vibrant local flowers and luxurious chocolates is designed to please both the eye and the palate, radiating comfort, joy, and celebration in every detail.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
A captivating display of flowers arranged against a clean white backdrop, this bouquet encapsulates the refined artistry of a Surrey Quays florist. Dominating the centre, billowy hydrangeas in rich indigo and teal hues set a dramatic tone-each sphere echoing the cool blues of water along the Docklands. Intertwined with these are lilac and ivory roses, their elegant unfurling petals exuding an air of understated romance reminiscent of strolls through South Dock. Soft white ranunculus blooms add layers of plush texture, while slender stems of buttery yellow lisianthus and their gentle buds impart a subtle lightness and vertical movement. Amongst them, vivid fuchsia-pink filler blossoms and airy plumes of blush astilbe bring a playful vibrancy, much like the eclectic spirit found in local community gardens. Wisps of lacy light green and white filler flowers emulate the delicate wildflowers bordering the Thames Path. Lush dark greenery interspersed throughout deepens the bouquet's hues and ensures every flower shines. The composition is tightly secured at the base with a striking royal purple satin ribbon, offering a final note of elegance. Whether marking a birthday, enhancing a home, or simply delighting someone special, this bouquet expresses expert craftsmanship and echoes the lively essence of Surrey Quays.
