GRANDPARENTS' DAY FLOWERS
Radiating a burst of cheer and vitality, this vivid Gerbera daisy bouquet reflects the lively pace of Old Ford's canal-side neighborhoods. Large, eye-catching blossoms in sunny yellow, electric orange, and passionate magenta rise above a cushion of deep green foliage, their colors echoing the vibrancy of community gardens scattered throughout East London. Every flower's distinctive deep brown center adds dramatic contrast, setting off the luminous petals that seem to shimmer beneath gentle, diffused daylight. Encasing the bouquet, textured brown kraft paper and glossy cellophane form an elegant shell, providing a rustic yet polished finish and cradling the arrangement with loving care. At the heart, visible through the vase's crystal clarity, stems are gathered and bound with a natural fiber twine, from which dangles a simple gift tag-decorated with a classic rose motif, the mark of a skilled florist. Water pooled at the base keeps each stem fresh, assuring a longer enjoyment whether displayed in a home off Wick Road or sent as a heartwarming gesture to a friend near Mile End. This arrangement, meticulously crafted for texture and balance, channels celebration-its palette and form ideal for birthdays, thank-yous, or simply brightening an Old Ford morning. The scent of fresh-cut blooms lingers invitingly, making it a thoughtful floral gift or centerpiece that embodies the welcoming character and creative flair of the area.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
A glorious, close-up overhead view shows an abundant autumn bouquet arranged with the sure hand of a neighbourhood florist - colours that could have been gathered from a walk along Roman Road Market. Dominating the composition are several fully opened orange Asiatic lilies, their trumpet-like petals unfurling in layered sweeps of tangerine and apricot. Around them cluster bright orange Gerbera daisies and deeper burgundy Gerberas, their sunburst petals creating lively punctuation. Small creamy-white Lisianthus provide soft, romantic contrast, their ruffled blooms settling like gentle clouds among the stronger tones. Wisps of purple-grey Astrantia introduce an intricate, star-shaped texture that plays across the surface and invites a closer look.

Fresh green foliage and long, slender stems thread through the arrangement, offering structure and life, while many pale green and orange lily buds speak of more blossoms to come. Several large, reddish-brown oak-like leaves are tucked in to echo the turning season, their lobed silhouettes lending a rustic, woodland sensibility. Shot on a pristine white background with bright, even lighting, the bouquet's textures - satiny lily petals, papery gerbera rays, and the soft frill of lisianthus - are vividly legible. There is a subtle earthy fragrance imagined here: woodsmoke warmth, leafy spice and soft floral sweetness. This composition feels celebratory yet homey, suited to birthday tables, harvest gatherings or simply to brighten a flat in Old Ford or a sitting room close to the canal. The arrangement reads as heartfelt and intentionally seasonal, a tactile, fragrant portrait of autumn.
NATURE'S PALETTE
£74.50
Captured from a slightly elevated, top-down view on a clean white surface, this lively bouquet presents a warm, sensory mix of blooms and greenery that feels both modern and heartfelt. The composition centres on several full, peach-to-orange roses whose soft, layered petals unfold outward like warm apricot sunsets; their gentle fragrance is almost tangible in the photograph. Intermingled are starburst chrysanthemums: pristine white daisies with pale green centres that bring a crisp, fresh counterpoint, and deep magenta-purple mums with bright lime-green discs that inject a playful, confident note. Beneath and between the flowers, dense dark-green foliage-broad, glossy leaves reminiscent of ruscus-creates a lush, structured foundation that highlights each blossom's colour and form. A slim, arching strand of bright green decorative grass traces a delicate curve over the arrangement, introducing movement and an elegant, sculptural accent. The bouquet is gathered and wrapped at its stem in crinkled, translucent orange tissue or cellophane; the bright wrap complements the roses and signals a ready-to-give presentation. As prepared by the florists at Florist Old Ford, this arrangement evokes the warmth of local markets and morning deliveries along Old Ford Road and Roman Road Market, where fresh blooms are selected with care. Suitable for birthdays, housewarmings or to enliven an office near Victoria Park, it reads as a thoughtful, celebratory gift that balances scent, texture and a confident palette for delivery across Old Ford and neighbouring Bow.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
Bathed in crisp studio light against a pure white field, this densely packed bouquet reads as both sophisticated and delightfully spirited - the kind of arrangement we create for shoppers wandering from Old Ford Road toward Victoria Park. Dominant magenta Gerbera daisies command attention with their saturated, almost fuchsia petals and defined dark discs, each bloom presenting a cheerful, graphic face. Creamy white roses unfurl nearby, their layered petals smooth and velvety, offering a timeless romantic counterpoint to the gerberas' exuberance. Threads of deep purple Alstroemeria bring an exotic, textured richness: trumpet-like petals, fine speckles, and streaks that reward a closer look. The greenery is generous and varied - broad glossy leaves, slender sword-like fronds, and softer filler foliage - creating a sculpted, rounded silhouette while introducing subtle contrasts of sheen and shadow. A clear glass vase is discernible at the base, minimalist and transparent, anchoring the arrangement without distracting from the blooms. As an East London florist familiar with local rhythms, I can imagine this piece brightening a kitchen table on Parnell Road or greeting a visitor arriving from Bow; its colour harmony suits celebratory moments as well as thoughtful, everyday gifting. There is an implied scent profile: cool green notes with faint floral sweetness, and a tactile richness from the layered petals and glossy leaves. Crafted with professional care, this bouquet - available for delivery across Old Ford and neighbouring streets when requested - radiates freshness, joyous colour, and considered design, ideal for anniversaries, thank-you gestures, or a cheery home accent.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
From a top-down view this autumnal arrangement announces itself with confident texture and colour: coral-to-amber roses take centre stage, their petals unfurling from a soft peach heart to deeper orange and russet-tinted edges, each bloom a miniature study of seasonal colour. Interspersed among them are glossy Hypericum berries in fresh lime and pale cream, their rounded forms adding lively punctuation and a slight, waxy sheen against the soft rose petals. Clusters of Green Trick dianthus - dense, moss-like and vividly green - introduce a tactile surprise that offsets the roses' smooth velvety faces, while a mixture of shiny broad leaves and smaller, matte foliage fills the bouquet so it reads lush and abundant. Rich, lobed leaves in burgundy and burnt orange are placed with intent, evoking fallen foliage from the trees lining the towpath near Bow and Victoria Park and lending a cosy, harvest-time ground note. The light is soft and even, emphasising the warm tones and subtle shadows that give each layer dimension. As a local florist I arrange pieces like this for seasonal gatherings and heartfelt gifts across Old Ford and nearby neighbourhoods; at Florist Old Ford we often suggest this palette for Thanksgiving centrepieces or anniversary bouquets where warmth and quiet elegance are wanted. The composition smells faintly of fresh roses and green stems, a calm autumn perfume ideal for welcoming guests or brightening a quiet kitchen table.
PUMPKIN PIE
£64.50
Presented against a clean white background, this exuberant bouquet appears almost to float, its round, full shape reminiscent of a bright flower cloud drifting over Old Ford's rooftops. The composition is anchored by sunny yellow roses, each bloom carefully selected for its tight spiral of petals and luminous tone, surrounded by generous heads of yellow chrysanthemums and daisy-like blossoms that create a soft, golden carpet of colour. Threaded between these are radiant orange gerbera daisies, their bold, flat petals and contrasting centres giving the eye distinct focal points, like bursts of laughter within the arrangement. Smaller orange flowers echo their warmth, blending seamlessly into the yellow spectrum and evoking the cheerful feel of a market morning near Roman Road. To balance the heat of these hues, the florist has woven in elegant stems of purple lisianthus, some unfurling into ruffled cups, others still held in smooth, tapered buds. Their deep violet tones lend a sophisticated calm and help define the bouquet's layered structure. Scattered pockets of lime-green button chrysanthemums add a playful, tactile element, their neat, rounded forms and fresh green shades injecting a lively, contemporary twist. Among the petals, glossy red Hypericum berries catch the light with a subtle shine, adding a seasonal, almost festive note that suggests celebrations, thank-you gifts, or bright birthday surprises. The whole display is framed and supported by rich, dark green foliage that fans out at the base, with slender grasses lifting the design upwards and outwards to create a sense of airiness and movement. Tied securely at the stems, the bouquet feels both abundant and carefully composed, ideal for delivery across Old Ford to bring joy, optimism, and vibrant colour into any home or workplace.
TROPICAL SENSATION
£59.00
Against a crisp white backdrop, this hand-tied bouquet appears almost to glow, its colours and shapes carefully balanced in a way that feels both modern and timeless. At the heart of the design are several pink roses, their petals gently unfurling in tight, layered spirals that suggest tenderness and affection, like a quiet moment shared in a tucked-away Old Ford café. Around them, bright yellow gerbera daisies radiate outward, their open faces and deep brown centres adding a joyful, optimistic mood, reminiscent of morning sunshine over nearby Mile End Park. Taller than the rest, elegant stems of deep blue delphiniums rise in vertical clusters, each dotted with multiple small, star-like florets that lend height and a cool counterpoint to the warm pinks and yellows below. Lush greenery supports and frames the blooms: airy fern fronds spill softly from the lower edges, while bold, glossy tropical-style leaves, some delicately striped in lighter green, curve protectively around the base of the flower heads to form a natural green collar. Nestled between the main blooms, bright green textured filler foliage adds depth and gentle movement, as if echoing the layered planting in Old Ford's urban gardens. Fine, light green stems tipped with promising buds extend lightly above the bouquet, hinting at flowers still to open. The gathered stems are clearly visible and tightly bound, wrapped with pale cream or light green paper and secured with a simple tie, evoking the feel of a freshly picked posy carried home from a local market. The bouquet radiates happiness, support, and celebration, suited to birthdays, congratulations, or simply brightening a home anywhere across Old Ford and the surrounding East London streets.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
A lush, hand-tied fall bouquet photographed on a crisp white ground, composed with an experienced florist's eye to balance colour, texture and seasonality. Dominant in the arrangement are velvety deep red roses and bold burgundy gerbera daisies whose broad petals and shadowed centers form dramatic focal points. Interspersed throughout are cheerful sprays of small, bright yellow chrysanthemum-like flowers that add a textured, sunlit counterpoint; soft coral-pink roses and peach garden roses soften the composition with delicate blush tones. Accent blooms of red-and-orange alstroemeria (Peruvian lilies), often freckled or striped, push the gaze into the bouquet's layered depths and create star-shaped highlights. The blossom cluster is supported by an array of foliage - glossy dark green leaves, lighter variegated greenery, and feathery fillers - which gives volume and a verdant backdrop. A few broad, lobed autumn leaves in deep reddish-brown and bronze are deliberately placed to emphasize the seasonal theme and to introduce an organic, woodland texture. The stems are gathered into a neat hand-tied bundle, their green stalks visible where they rest on the white surface; you can almost feel the cool, slightly damp stems when handled. The scent is quietly floral, dominated by rose perfume and fresh green notes. Crafted with local care by Florist Old Ford for customers around Cambridge Heath, Mile End and nearby streets, it suits Thanksgiving centrepieces, harvest gifts, or a warm seasonal welcome to visitors to homes around Roman Road market.
FESTIVAL OF COLOURS
£54.50
In this hand-crafted floral arrangement, the sunflowers are the undisputed stars, their golden faces spread wide in a clear spherical vase that sits serenely on a white backdrop. Each blossom seems to soak in the East End morning sun, much like the vibrant parks of Old Ford on a bright summer's day. Nestled among their radiant petals, the tightly spiraled yellow garden roses exude a buttery warmth, lending a touch of refined charm and familiarity. Sprigs of feathery ferns and delicate green filler arch gracefully, mirroring the untamed beauty found in local Hackney Marshes, while airy blue-green eucalyptus leaves and light green spikes evoke the wild hedgerows near the canal. Pops of glossy red Hypericum berries are interspersed, their cheerful glint recalling lively market days around Roman Road. In the water-filled glass vase, the intricate architecture of tucked stems creates a sense of structure and transparency, grounding the bouquet in clarity. The arrangement emanates an atmosphere of cheer-its fragrance hints at countryside mornings and sunlit outdoors. Designed for those joyful moments-be it birthdays on Chisenhale Road or family gatherings around St. Stephen's Green-this bouquet brings a genuine sense of togetherness. At Florist Old Ford, we craft each piece to brighten not just rooms but also the days of our neighbours across E3, celebrating community and the beauty of late summer in every petal.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
Set against a bright white backdrop, a lovingly arranged wicker basket sits as if ready to be delivered to a quiet townhouse off Roman Road in Old Ford, its light, natural weave and gently arched handle giving it a warm, handmade presence. Around the lower edge, a red and white gingham bow is tied snugly, the tidy checks recalling relaxed family picnics on the grass in nearby parks, while also framing the burst of flowers above. The arrangement itself is a study in whites and greens: upright lily buds in creamy white with hints of soft green promise days of evolving beauty, some just starting to peel back their petals in a poised, elegant gesture. Clustered around them, open white Gerbera daisies with striking dark centres act as the arrangement's smiling faces, offering a bright yet refined note suited to anniversaries and thoughtful celebrations. Between these larger blooms, frilly lisianthus in pale green and creamy white fill the spaces with delicate volume, their softly ruffled edges almost cloudlike. A sleek white calla lily, trumpet-shaped and smooth as porcelain, adds a modern design accent, while spiky white and green chrysanthemum-like flowers punctuate the arrangement with texture and energy. The basket is cradled in abundant foliage: rounded, blue-green eucalyptus leaves, variegated trailing greens, and glossy deep-green leaves that create contrast and depth, spilling gently over the rim like a miniature garden. Crafted with the eye of a seasoned Old Ford florist, this composition feels serene and considered, perfect for marking a special relationship milestone, sending quiet sympathy, or simply bringing a breath of fresh, natural elegance into a home overlooking the Old Ford canals.
SWEET MOMENTS BASKET
£65.00
Bathed in the ambient glow reminiscent of a quiet morning along Old Ford's waterways, this bouquet radiates contemporary grace and natural splendour. The playful vibrancy of orange and peach gerberas draws the eye first, their petals unfurling in luminous, cheerful layers, while the deep magenta roses add a classic, romantic depth. Pillowy clusters of white alstroemeria and spray roses offer a light, airy counterpoint, conjuring a sense of freshness much like spring blooms near Roman Road Market. Intricately folded aspidistra leaves form a generous collar, their robust sheen contrasting beautifully with the velvety delicacy of each blossom. Delicate lily buds and sprays of tiny white filler flowers are interspersed throughout, promising both visual variety and impending fragrance. The entire arrangement is grounded in luxuriant, pointed green foliage, lending volume and stability, and is presented in a tall, gleaming glass vase that displays the living stems in all their freshness. Gentle natural light filters from behind, highlighting the harmonious intermingling of colours and textures, and bestowing the bouquet with an uplifting and invigorating energy. As an Old Ford florist, I see this composition as the ideal gesture for marking celebrations or uplifting loved ones, perfectly tailored for same-day delivery across Bow and Fish Island. Its lush interplay of scent and colour evokes happiness, serenity, and the pleasure of shared moments in East London.
WONDER
£60.00
A lush, rounded bouquet of white roses, pink alstroemeria, and delicate baby's breath appears suspended against a pure white background, as if freshly lifted from a florist's bench in Old Ford. The roses are the clear focal point, several full-headed blooms unfurling in layered, velvety spirals, their creamy petals touched at the centre with the faintest glow of pale yellow that suggests warmth and sincerity. Between these classic roses, stems of alstroemeria stretch gracefully, each carrying multiple small, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of soft pink through to vivid fuchsia, some petals etched with fine magenta flecks and stripes that add depth and movement. Sprays of tiny white Gypsophila thread through the design like a gentle mist, filling the gaps with a light, cloud-like texture that softens the contrast between the stronger colours. Deep green leaves, slightly glossy and varied in size, peek from under the blossoms, creating a fresh, garden-like frame. The bouquet is clearly hand-tied, with the green stems gathered neatly at the base, suggesting it has just been finished and is ready for same-day delivery to a home near Old Ford Road or a cosy café by the canals. Soft, even lighting reveals every curve and vein in the petals, giving the arrangement a serene, almost timeless quality. The composition feels both romantic and cheerful, making it perfectly suited to mark a new baby, a thoughtful birthday surprise, or a simple gesture of affection for someone special in the Old Ford community.
AMOUR
£50.00
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 vibrant mixed bouquet fills the image from edge to edge, photographed against a bright white background that makes the colours seem to leap forward, much like a sudden splash of colour against the brickwork of Old Ford terraces. The bouquet is arranged in a neat, domed shape, every bloom carefully nestled so that the arrangement feels lush and complete. At its core are several striking roses, their petals blending from a bright, sunshine yellow at the centre through glowing orange to a more subdued reddish-orange at the tips, creating a warm gradient that immediately catches the eye. Intertwined with these roses are plentiful white daisy-style chrysanthemums, each with a crisp ring of petals and an intense lime-green central disk, offering a clean, modern contrast. Between them sit clusters of magenta and fuchsia button chrysanthemums, densely packed with tiny petals and finished with yellow-green centres that mirror the daisy cores, adding depth and saturation reminiscent of lively weekend markets near Roman Road. Dark, shiny greenery emerges at intervals, giving a sense of structure and echoing the feel of fresh foliage from nearby canal-side gardens along the Regent's Canal. At the base, the stems are tightly gathered and neatly trimmed, visible against the white background to emphasise the bouquet's hand-tied nature and freshness. Soft, even lighting reveals each petal's texture and curvature, while the mix of warm and cool tones together creates an atmosphere of optimism, gratitude, and quiet celebration. This is the kind of bouquet that would sit happily on a windowsill in Old Ford, bringing colour to birthdays, anniversaries, or simple "thinking of you" moments.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
Bathed in clean, natural light against a stark white background, this compact, hand-tied arrangement feels like a small festival of summer and early autumn tones - vivid oranges, peachy corals, warm golds and touches of pure white. The design is densely packed and rounded: large, open roses with spiralling centres form the backbone, moving from deep, molten-orange to a softer sunflower-gold, their scent a rich, heady perfume that fills the air. Surrounding these are voluminous carnations in coral and burnt-orange hues, their frilled petals giving the bouquet softness and volume, while peach-gerbera lend a playful, radiating structure with their greenish-yellow eyes. Delicate white spray flowers, reminiscent of freesia or tiny chrysanthemums, nestle among the larger blooms and lift the palette with bright highlights. Light green, star-like filler blossoms and feathery sprigs peek through, adding breathability and a meadow-like texture, and rounded eucalyptus leaves provide a cool, silvery counterpoint to the warm tones. As a local florist arranging these stems I think of placing one of these bouquets on a window sill near Roman Road market or delivering it to a flat beside Three Colts Lane - a gift that smells as inviting as it looks. The stems are tied neatly at the base in a hand-tied style, ready for immediate display. For true local care and thoughtful presentation, Florist Old Ford often prepares this combination for neighbourhood birthdays, bright 'get well' wishes, or simply to bring a sunny, comforting presence into an Old Ford home.
BRIGHT KISS
£55.00
Against a crisp white backdrop, a luxuriant hand-tied bouquet seems to glow with the mellow warmth of early autumn, like a walk through Old Ford as the trees start to turn. The flowers are gathered into a rounded dome, densely packed so that each stem supports the next. Dominating the composition are large chrysanthemums in shades of deep golden yellow, burnt orange, and reddish-brown, their many fine, spiky petals catching the light and creating a sense of movement, almost like a small sunset captured in bloom. Nestled thoughtfully among them are creamy white roses, their classic, spiralling petals smooth and velvety, giving a serene, romantic counterpoint to the stronger hues. Several stems of celosia, in rich yellow-orange, stand out with their unusual, velvety "brain" or coral-like texture, lending the bouquet an artistic twist that feels both playful and sophisticated. Sprinkled throughout are clusters of petite, white daisy-like flowers with sunny yellow eyes, reminiscent of chamomile, which add a breezy, meadow-picked charm, much like the informal greenery you might spot along the edges of Hertford Union Canal. The entire arrangement is framed and uplifted by sprays of lime-green solidago and other fresh foliage, their feathery plumes and varied leaves giving depth, lightness, and an airy halo of green. The stems are carefully aligned and bound with discreet green tape, ready to be placed in a favourite vase or delivered across Old Ford and nearby Bow as a comforting gesture. The overall mood is one of gentle optimism and homely warmth, perfect for saying "thinking of you" or bringing seasonal colour into a kitchen or living room.
COUNTRYSIDE BUNCH
£65.00
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
Set against a crisp white background, this rounded bouquet appears almost to float, its colours and textures taking centre stage without distraction. In the heart of the arrangement, generous creamy white roses open in full, their layered petals forming soft spirals that hint at a light, powdery fragrance and an air of quiet luxury. Nestled closely around them are clusters of deep purple and magenta alstroemeria, their slender, trumpet-shaped blooms adding drama and a regal contrast, as if echoing the vibrant energy of Roman Road Market just a short walk from many Old Ford homes. Some alstroemeria flowers are fully open, showing fine streaks on their petals, while others remain as sleek buds, suggesting freshness and longevity. Interwoven throughout, gauzy sprigs of white baby's breath create a delicate mist, filling every gap with tiny blossoms that lend a dreamy, romantic softness. Here and there, distinctive green-white astrantia blooms appear, their starry bracts and detailed centres providing a subtle, almost wildflower charm that feels at home near the parks and towpaths of East London. The bouquet is neatly encircled by broad, glossy aspidistra leaves, carefully folded to form a polished collar that holds the flowers in a compact, well-balanced dome. The stems, neatly aligned and cut, peek out at the base, revealing the skill of a hand-tied design crafted by a local florist familiar with creating bouquets for birthdays, anniversaries, and sympathy deliveries across Old Ford and neighbouring Bow. The overall mood is elegant and calming, ideal for bringing a sense of composed beauty into any room.
IN THE STARS
£60.00
A bright, uplifting bouquet is shown in full detail against a clean white backdrop, the colours and textures glowing as if in soft daylight. Three striking sunflowers form the heart of the design, their wide, golden-yellow petals flaring out from densely packed, dark brown centres that hint at the familiar pattern of ripening seeds. Nestled between these bold faces are elegant white roses, some fully open, others still slightly cupped, their creamy petals layered in tight whorls that speak of classic romance and gentle fragrance. Dotted throughout, delicate daisy-like flowers, similar to chamomile or feverfew, introduce a sense of innocence and movement; their small white petals and sunny yellow centres create a dainty contrast to the larger blooms. Flowing around and through the bouquet is abundant chartreuse-green foliage, with tiny buds and fine, feathery stems that give a sense of lightness and space, like wildflowers gathered from a field along the canal paths near Old Ford. The stems below are neatly aligned and bound together with a soft lime-green ribbon, tied by hand in a modest bow that hangs slightly loose, reinforcing the bouquet's relaxed, rustic-chic personality. The composition appears carefully crafted yet wonderfully natural, the colours balancing warmth and serenity, as if inviting the recipient to pause and smile. Perfect for celebrating a promotion, welcoming a new neighbour, or bringing cheer to a kitchen table overlooking Victoria Park, this hand-tied bouquet reflects the quiet joy and everyday celebrations of life around Old Ford, ready to be delivered fresh from the local florist's workbench.
JOYFUL SUNRISE
£69.00
A lush, rounded bouquet of mixed flowers sits proudly against a crisp white backdrop, the simplicity of the background making each bloom seem even more vivid. Dominating the arrangement are several fully opened roses in shades of creamy white touched with pale lemon, their petals layered in elegant spirals that draw the eye inward. Clustered around and between them, magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums create a lively ring of colour, their daisy-like shapes and yellow-green centres adding both structure and a burst of brightness. A few tighter chrysanthemum buds in a deeper purple-pink tone emerge between the larger heads, hinting at new flowers still to come. Delicate sprigs of tiny white daisies, the kind often seen in cottage-style designs, weave through the composition like gentle threads of light, each miniature bloom crowned with a golden-yellow centre. The green foliage is rich but not overwhelming, with fresh leaves forming a natural collar that supports the blossoms and gives the bouquet a garden-fresh character, reminiscent of walking through nearby green spaces around Old Ford and the Regent's Canal. All the stems are neatly aligned and bound at the base with a charming green-and-white check ribbon, suggesting a bouquet prepared for hand delivery. Under soft, diffused lighting, the colours remain true and vibrant, and the shadows are minimal, so the viewer can appreciate the subtle texture of petals, the satin sheen of the roses, and the slightly ruffled edges of the mums. This arrangement conveys warmth, gratitude, and quiet celebration, ideal for same-day delivery to homes, studios, and offices across Old Ford and the surrounding East London neighbourhoods.
LOVELY DREAMER
£50.00
A lush, rounded bouquet of bi-colour roses fills the centre of the frame, set against a smooth, snow-white background that makes every petal stand out with striking clarity. Around a dozen roses, all fully bloomed, are gathered closely so their layered petals overlap in a soft, abundant cluster, like a glowing orb of colour. At the heart of each flower, a clear, bright yellow radiates outward into warm tangerine and deep marmalade orange, with the outermost petals in places touched by a hint of red-orange, reminiscent of sunset skies over Old Ford's towpaths. The roses are encircled by generous, deep green leaves with a gentle sheen, their serrated edges and visible veins adding texture and contrast to the smooth, velvety petals. Below the blossoms, a neat bundle of dark green stems is visible, carefully aligned as if just tied by an experienced florist preparing a delivery to a home off Parnell Road or a celebration near the Hertford Union Canal. The light is soft and even, so the colours appear rich but not harsh, giving the bouquet a warm, inviting presence that suggests happiness, encouragement, and heartfelt congratulations. It is easy to imagine this arrangement placed on a kitchen table in Old Ford, bringing a burst of sunshine into the room, perfect for birthdays, romantic surprises, or simply sending a bright message of "thinking of you" on an ordinary day.
SUNRISE
£60.00
Soft midday light filters over this thoughtfully arranged bouquet, a familiar sight in the heart of Old Ford. At its center, velvety red roses offer a bold, unwavering focal point that speaks of enduring affection. The pristine white gerberas, their delicate petals curved around rich, chocolate-brown hearts, invite a sense of refined cheerfulness to the ensemble-much like the spirit of nearby Roman Road Market. Subtle lavender lisianthus, some emerging delicately from bud to blossom, weave gentle threads of pastel among the blooms. Eucalyptus fronds, their silvery-green discs catching light from imagined Bow Wharf windows, arch gracefully to frame the more vibrant florals. Tufts of small, ivory filler flowers float throughout, lending pillowy fullness and delicate contrast. At the base, dark, robust leaves encircle the clear glass vase, their shine recalling the polished stones along Regent's Canal. A mingled scent of roses and aromatic eucalyptus drifts softly, evoking the freshness of a morning stroll through local gardens. Crafted by a Florist Old Ford designer, the bouquet exemplifies subtle elegance-perfect for celebrations, heartfelt thanks, or simply adding beauty to homes across Old Ford and the surrounding East London neighbourhoods.
VANITY FAIR
£50.00
Imagine cradling this hand-tied bouquet as if it were a small, fragrant secret from a shop just off the Roman Road: the intense, velvety reds of chrysanthemum heads and classic red roses form the visual heartbeat, while soft peach-apricot and light salmon roses introduce a gentle luminous warmth that tempers the drama. Wisps of delicate white gypsophila float between the larger blooms like scattered pearls or a sprinkling of early-morning frost, creating airy negative space that lets each rose breathe. The dense, shiny foliage encircles the base, its green tones ranging from deep evergreen to a vivified spring green, and those leaves both support and subtly lift the blooms. Presented in a clear glass vase, the stems are visible through clean water, speaking to freshness and careful handling - you can almost sense the tactile contrast between silken petals, firm stems, and feathery filler. The aroma is quietly uplifting: the soft sweetness of roses threaded with a green, leafy brightness that might recall a stroll by Victoria Park or along the towpath near Old Ford Lock. This arrangement is balanced for shared moments - a tabletop centrepiece at a celebratory lunch, a romantic surprise, or a welcome-home offering for someone in Old Ford or the surrounding neighbourhoods. Crafted with attentive skill by local hands, this bouquet reflects the thoughtful composition and seasonal sensibility of florists who know the community, including the care we take at Florist Old Ford when selecting and placing every stem.
