FLOWERS IN A VASE
This densely packed, vibrant bouquet sits against a clean white background, a study in warm, uplifting colour balanced by cool, architectural accents. Radiant yellow Asiatic lilies reach upward, some fully unfurled to reveal speckled petals and soft pollen, others still as elegant buds that promise more blooms to come. Nestled beneath them are delicate lavender-purple roses, their petals spiralling inwards with a gentle, powdery hue that introduces a calming softness. Bold orange Gerbera daisies scatter joyful, flat-faced blooms across the mound, while chartreuse button chrysanthemums build out the volume with ruffled, almost cushion-like clusters. Here and there, small globe-shaped orange and golden-yellow blooms add lively, tactile dots of brightness, creating playful contrast against the smoother petals. Several steely blue Eryngium thistles punctuate the lower and peripheral areas, their starry bracts and spiky texture giving the arrangement an unexpected, modern edge. Mixed foliage, from broad lily leaves to finer glossy greens, unifies the composition and adds a fresh, green scent when handled. Lit by a neutral studio light that accentuates color saturation and texture, the bouquet reads as both festive and composed - ideal for celebrating birthdays, sending congratulations, or brightening a bedside or office near Old Ford Road and the Hertford Union Canal. Crafted with an eye for balance and seasonal freshness, it suggests same-day delivery across the immediate neighbourhood and makes a confident, locally minded gift.
TROPIC GETAWAY
£64.00
A bright, dome-shaped floral arrangement in a clear, low glass vase glows with a palette of sunny yellow, cool white, and vivid green, displayed against a seamless white backdrop. Large yellow roses, some fully opened to reveal their layered, spiral hearts and others still in graceful bud, take centre stage. Nestled beside them are clusters of smaller yellow spray roses, each tiny bloom adding texture and a slightly wilder, garden-picked charm. Rounded white pompom chrysanthemums are scattered throughout, their dense, cushion-like heads creating a soft, clouded effect. Between them, lime green button chrysanthemums peep through like tiny, cheerful marbles of colour, bringing contrast and a playful rhythm to the design. Pale green, frilled blooms, similar to ruffled carnations or fancy green mums, introduce a gentle transition between tones, giving the bouquet a lush, full-bodied look.   

Encircling and weaving through the flowers is a lush collar of greenery: broad leaves with creamy, variegated edges, finer dark green stems, and airy filler foliage that adds depth and a slight woodland feel. Delicate, starry white filler flowers - perhaps waxflower or a fine aster - dot the bouquet like scattered light, adding intricacy without overwhelming the eye. The clear, square vase reveals the tidy stems and is wrapped at the centre with a band of textured natural fibre or bark, over which a lime green ribbon is smoothly tied, echoing the vivid green button mums above. The overall effect is one of optimism and fresh beginnings, reminiscent of early morning light over the streets of Old Ford. This arrangement would sit beautifully on a kitchen counter near Roman Road or on a desk in a creative studio around Fish Island, sending a message of encouragement, congratulations, or simple, thoughtful care.
FRESH BLOSSOM
£64.50
Presented on a clean white backdrop, this abundant bouquet reads like a small landscape of late-summer warmth: dominant orange-red Asiatic lilies with softly speckled faces and recurved petals form the dramatic focal points, some opened wide to expose dark anthers and pollen-laden stamens, others kept as long, hopeful buds. Interwoven around them are deep crimson Gerbera daisies whose many narrow petals fan out from chocolate-tinged centers, creating lively, rhythmic accents. Pale blush roses offer a soothing, romantic foil - their layered, velvety petals move from tight buds to half-open blossoms, giving the design depth and a gentle cadence. Tiny clusters of bright red hypericum berries are tucked into the foliage, catching the light with a glossy sheen and adding a playful, jewel-like texture against the softer petals. A generous selection of foliage - from broad, matte green leaves that anchor the shape to streaked variegated leaves that lift the composition - fills the bouquet to a lush, rounded form. The lighting is bright and even, lending clarity to every texture: the papery feel of the lilies, the smooth velvet of roses, and the crispness of leafy greens. Speaking from a local florist's eye, this arrangement would be equally at home on a table near the Hertford Union Canal or brightening a shop window on Old Ford Road; at Florist Old Ford we often recommend it for birthdays, milestone celebrations, or as a dramatic thank-you that reads as both passionate and tender.
TROPICAL OASIS
£64.50
A refined floral arrangement of white lilies and pink blooms is presented as if resting in a pool of soft daylight against a bright white background, each element carefully placed to create balance and calm. Two pristine white Oriental lilies rise gracefully from the centre, their broad petals curling back to reveal rich reddish-brown stamens and the slightest sheen, suggesting just-opened freshness. Around them, pink roses in varying stages of bloom form a gentle ring: some buds are still tightly wrapped, promising to open, while others display full rosettes of petals that feel plush and romantic, like a tender gesture shared over coffee along nearby Old Ford Road. Intertwined among the roses are stems of alstroemeria in pale pink and white, with fine streaks of yellow and soft speckling that draw the eye in closer. Wisps of white baby's breath float between the larger flowers, giving a light, cloud-like texture that softens the overall structure. Rich greenery encircles and supports the flowers, from smooth, glossy leaves to lighter feathery fronds, adding natural movement and a sense of garden freshness reminiscent of a walk towards Victoria Park. The entire bouquet is cradled in a low, clear, square glass vase that reveals a neat grid of stems inside, grounded by a pale pink satin ribbon wrapped horizontally around its middle for a subtle, elegant finish. In the lower right corner of the picture, a bright orange circular label with bold white text clearly announces "VASE INCLUDED," making it obvious that this is a ready-to-display floral piece. The composition feels ideal for a bedside table, office desk, or intimate dinner setting in Old Ford, conveying tranquillity, affection, and the quiet joy of receiving a same-day flower delivery.
COLOURFUL DELIGHT
£65.00
A warm, golden bouquet glows against a crisp white background, the kind of arrangement you might imagine brightening a townhouse living room off Roman Road in Old Ford. At its heart are plush orange roses, some petals edged with a subtle yellow gradient that creates a candlelit effect as they spiral open. Nestled among them are clear yellow garden-style roses, their tightly layered centers still holding the promise of full bloom. Between these larger blooms weave airy stems of peach and soft orange alstroemeria; each trumpet-shaped flower carries fine speckles and painterly stripes across its inner petals, giving the display a delicate, almost hand-brushed look. Scattered throughout are small, intensely spiky orange globes, like miniature safflower or thistle blooms, adding playful texture that stands out against the smoother rose petals. A mix of eucalyptus and rich green foliage frames the flowers, the silvery leaves catching the light and deep greens providing a cool counterbalance to the warm palette. All of this is arranged neatly in a contemporary square glass vase, its clear sides revealing straight, freshly cut stems and clean water, while a wrap of natural burlap or jute around the center introduces a relaxed, rustic note that would suit a laid-back Old Ford kitchen or studio. In the lower right corner of the image, a bold orange circle with white capital lettering clearly states "VASE INCLUDED," indicating that what you see is exactly what arrives when ordered for same-day delivery across Old Ford and nearby East London neighbourhoods.
AUTUMN SUNRISE
£70.00
A rich, romantic bouquet stands out against a bright white backdrop, composed with the kind of care you would expect from a local Old Ford florist accustomed to marking milestones for neighbours along Old Ford Road and near Victoria Park. The arrangement is dominated by sumptuous red roses, their velvety petals curling inward and outward in various stages of opening, suggesting both new beginnings and well-rooted love. Nestled among them are clusters of smaller, deep red blooms resembling alstroemeria, their multiple petals creating a delicate, almost feathery texture that dances around the more sculptural roses. Threading through the arrangement are fine sprays of tiny pink and white filler flowers, similar to waxflower, that add a light, cloud-like softness, catching the eye like scattered stars in a red sky. The entire bouquet is embraced by a generous mix of greenery: glossy medium-green leaves, lighter sprigs that bring brightness, and distinctive burgundy and russet-toned foliage, some with subtle veining, which give the design warmth and a hint of drama. All of this sits in a clear glass rectangular vase with gently rounded edges, the stems visible through the water, grounding the lush blooms in a clean, contemporary base perfect for a dining table in a converted warehouse or a cosy Old Ford terrace. A tidy red ribbon, patterned with simple white heart outlines, wraps around the vase to underline the theme of affection and romance. In the bottom right corner, a circular orange badge clearly states "VASE INCLUDED" in bold white capitals, signalling that this arrangement arrives complete and ready to display, ideal for same-day romantic delivery around Old Ford.
ALWAYS WITH YOU
£65.00
A generous mixed bouquet of pink roses, ruffled carnations, and daisy-like chrysanthemums fills a modern glass vase, creating a romantic focal point set against a pure white backdrop that mirrors a bright Old Ford morning. The roses range from deep, velvety fuchsia and magenta to soft, powdery pink, some blooms fully open with layered petals curling outward, others still cupped and promising more to come. Around them, carnations in blush, coral, and peach-pink form gentle waves of texture, each frill catching the light. Punctuating these are clusters of small purple and lavender chrysanthemums, their vivid lime-green centres giving a fresh, almost zesty energy that lifts the entire composition. Creamy white blossoms weave through the arrangement, calming the brighter tones and creating subtle pauses for the eye, much like the quiet side streets off Roman Road. The bouquet is framed by generous foliage: rounded eucalyptus in misty blue-green, deeper glossy leaves, and a few reddish-brown accents that add a hint of warmth and seasonal depth. All the stems are gathered neatly into a clear, square glass vase, whose simple lines feel contemporary and versatile for Old Ford flats and family homes alike. Around the lower part of the vase, a white band decorated with repeating red hearts and the handwritten phrase "all my love" clearly signals affection, making this an ideal surprise for a partner, parent, or close friend. In the bottom right corner of the image, a bold orange circular graphic with white capital letters announces "VASE INCLUDED," highlighting that the flowers arrive as seen, ready to place on a table or windowsill. The bouquet radiates care, freshness, and the kind of thoughtful gesture that brightens an ordinary day in the local neighbourhood.
