BE MY HERO
£85.00
Captured against a crisp white backdrop, this luxurious hatbox of roses looks as if it has just been set down on a spotless counter in a boutique florist near Old Ford. The container is a round, deep black hatbox with a smooth, slightly satin finish and a slender red ring tracing its base, giving the arrangement a chic, gift-ready feel even before you see the flowers. From a gently elevated viewpoint, the bouquet appears to billow over the edges in a full, rounded dome, every inch packed with roses. Deep crimson blooms anchor the design, their velvety petals curling inward like small whirlpools of colour, while soft blush pinks and bright fuchsias weave warmth and romance through the composition. Pale peach and apricot roses add a honeyed glow, and creamy white heads bring light to the centre, making the darker tones appear even richer. Scattered throughout are lavender and lilac roses, lending a serene, almost powdery softness to the palette. Some flowers are tightly budded, holding their promise, while others are fully open, revealing intricate spirals of petals that suggest generosity and celebration. Between the blossoms, slim stems of fresh greenery, perhaps eucalyptus or ruscus, stretch upward in fine arcs, breaking the mass of petals with lively green accents. The diffuse, even lighting showcases each detail without harsh shadows, allowing the textures to feel almost touchable. This opulent, dome-shaped arrangement would suit a romantic dinner in a flat near Roman Road, a special birthday delivery to a home off Parnell Road, or a refined Valentine gesture, radiating affection and thoughtful care with every rose.
SWEET LOVE
£97.00
Captured from a top-down view on crisp white paper, this sumptuous bouquet feels like an autumnal embrace - a deliberate layering of warm tones and plush textures. The arrangement is densely gathered so that every stem supports the next: several large, deep-red roses sit prominently, their velvety petals unfurling to reveal rich, complex centres that speak of classic romance. Scattered among them are vibrant orange Asiatic lilies, their trumpet shapes and visible stamens offering bright, optimistic punctuation; a few lilies remain in the coquettish stage between bud and bloom, suggesting freshness and longevity. Tight clusters of dark burgundy spray roses add concentrated pools of colour and velvet-like texture, while glossy hypericum berries dot the surface with jewel-red highlights that catch and reflect soft studio light. Lush green foliage - broad, glossy ruscus or salal - forms a natural, cooling backdrop that lets the reds and oranges sing without overwhelming the eye. As a florist who regularly delivers across Old Ford and to flats near Roman Road Market, I imagine this bouquet placed on a windowsill with morning light, its mixed scents of warm rose and faintly spicy lily wafting through a kitchen. Prepared with careful stem placement for balance and longevity, it's the kind of composition we at Florist Old Ford choose for anniversaries, milestone birthdays, or to say 'thank you' in a way that feels both celebratory and deeply personal. The overall impression is opulent yet approachable - a bouquet intended to lift a room and mark a memory in the local community.
LOVE YOU MER-LOT
£64.00
Set against a pristine white background, this bouquet unfurls with confident harmony. The full, rounded design balances drama and grace, a classic romance reimagined with contemporary polish. Deep red roses anchor the center with velvet petals that tight spirals into the heart of the bloom, while purple Vanda orchids extend their broad, velvety petals, speckled with subtle darker tones that catch even the tiniest glint of light.

Nestled among these showstoppers are lisianthus in soft lilac, some buds still poised to open, hinting at quiet growth. A lush fabric of green foliage surrounds the blooms: large, glossy leaves provide a rich tapestry, while slender, elongated sprigs, with eucalyptus-like stems adding a hint of fragrant earth. Fresh green buds, varied in shape, punctuate the arrangement, and delicate pale-green filler sprigs weave through for texture and airiness.

The stems are neatly gathered at the base and bound with a decorative dark mesh ribbon-almost black or deep plum-creating an airy bow that gives the bouquet its modern, architectural finish. The overall mood reads as festive and luxurious, suitable for anniversaries, celebrations, or as an extravagant expression of thanks or admiration. Its intensity is tempered by the soft lavender and silvery tones of lisianthus, making it versatile for many occasions.

Florist Old Ford artisans deliver across Old Ford and surrounding neighbourhoods, including Mile End and Victoria Park. This arrangement is available for timely same-day delivery, with careful handling to preserve the bloom's freshness and scent. The bouquet speaks of passion, refined taste, and the confidence of a skilled local florist who knows the rhythm of our streets and markets, from Roman Road to Carlton House.
MIDNIGHT RUSH
£105.00
A lush arrangement of romantic red and serene white roses is shown in close focus, standing proudly against a pure white background that lets every colour and texture stand out. The red roses are a rich, velvety crimson, their petals unfurling in layered spirals, while the creamy white roses beside them offer a soft contrast, like candlelight against deep velvet. Threaded between the larger blooms are delicate sprays of tiny red filler flowers, resembling tinted baby's breath, which bring a fine, cloud-like texture and give the bouquet a distinctly celebratory, almost sparkling quality. Nestled among the petals, plump red hypericum berries catch the light with a gentle sheen, their rounded forms adding interest and a touch of winter charm. Around the flowers, you can see a variety of greenery: eucalyptus with its cool, silvery-green tone, and other leafy stems in darker shades, creating a full, garden-like feel akin to walking along the tree-lined paths near Old Ford and the canals by the Olympic Park. All of this floral abundance is arranged in a sleek, clear rectangular glass vase, through which the neatly cut stems are visible, emphasizing the florist's careful craftsmanship and the freshness of the blooms. A green and white gingham ribbon is wrapped horizontally around the centre of the vase, its cheerful check pattern suggesting a welcoming kitchen table or a cosy Old Ford café window. In the bottom right corner of the image, an eye-catching orange circular graphic clearly states "VASE INCLUDED" in bold white lettering, indicating that this bouquet arrives as a complete, ready-to-place gift - a thoughtful option for birthdays, anniversaries, or surprise deliveries to homes and workplaces across Old Ford.
QUEEN OF HEARTS
£75.00
A grand bouquet of long-stemmed red roses lies on a pristine white surface, angled as though just set down on a spotless counter in a stylish Old Ford townhouse. The blooms are massed closely together on the left, forming a lush bank of deep crimson that almost seems to glow against the bright, uncluttered background. Each rose is at the height of freshness, with velvety petals tightly furled at the centre and gently unfurling toward the edges, giving the impression of depth and softness. Studio lighting falls evenly across the arrangement, enhancing the rich red tones and the gentle curves of every petal while leaving only the softest shadows between the flowers. Dark, glossy green leaves peek through the dense cluster of blooms and continue along the stems, which extend elegantly to the right in a neat, slightly fanned line. The stems are long, straight, and full of life, with the occasional thorn visible, a quiet reminder of the roses' natural origins. The composition is simple yet incredibly powerful, evoking a sense of intimacy, passion, and timeless romance, much like an evening walk along the canals near Old Ford. This bouquet feels perfectly suited to meaningful celebrations, from milestone anniversaries to romantic declarations sent across E3, capturing the enduring symbolism of red roses in a modern, elegantly staged photograph.

ALLURING BLOOMS
£99.00
A lavish, hand-gathered bouquet of mixed roses sits against a clean white field, its dome-shaped silhouette full of movement and texture. Sunlit yellow roses radiate cheer at the front, paired with creamy pale roses that temper the palette, while a sweeping spectrum of pinks - from whispering blush to punchy fuchsia and delicate two-toned pink-and-white edges - gives the arrangement a joyous, romantic energy. Rich burgundy and deep crimson blooms are clustered like small punctuation marks, and clusters of miniature spray roses and tight buds add rhythm and a sense of unfolding optimism. The petals are soft and silky to the eye, their surfaces catching a gentle, dewy sheen; the fragrance reads fresh with a light citrus lift that feels clean and uplifting. Dark green, glossy foliage (probably ruscus or salal) weaves through the roses, creating depth and a leafy frame that makes each colour pop against the white background. At the stems the bouquet is neatly tied with a wide red satin ribbon formed into a graceful bow with long tails, and a small white gift tag bearing the words "Happy Holidays" and a stylised logo is tucked into the knot - a tender, seasonal flourish. The overall impression is celebratory and affectionate, a bouquet that would travel well by hand or delivery to neighbours around Old Ford, Roman Road and Mile End, and that sits equally at home on a birthday table, an anniversary nightstand, or as a heartfelt festive greeting.
CRAZY IN LOVE
£69.00
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 carefully arranged vase, roughly eighteen to twenty saturated crimson roses bloom in a lush dome, their velvety petals curling outward in layered spirals while delicate clouds of white baby's breath (Gypsophila paniculata) thread through each gap like a soft, frothy veil. The contrast between the roses' intense, almost lacquered red and the gypsophila's tiny, porcelain-like blossoms creates a visual rhythm that reads as both passionate and innocent. Set in a clear glass vase, the long green stems are clearly visible beneath the waterline, trimmed cleanly and gathered with precision so the silhouette remains compact and refined; a few faint water glints on the glass catch the bright studio light and emphasize the bouquet's freshness. The scent is implied-an intimate, rose-forward perfume with whispers of sweetness from the baby's breath-inviting memory and closeness. As a local East London arrangement, it feels at home beside the calm lanes near Victoria Park or as a thoughtful gift sent down to Roman Road Market; it's the kind of classic bouquet we carefully prepare for birthdays, proposals, or to say "I love you" with quiet confidence. Florist Old Ford crafts this kind of composition with attention to balance and longevity, ensuring each rose receives space to show its velvet face while the gypsophila cushions and elevates the overall form for a look that is timeless and deeply expressive.
FOREVER
£65.00
Captured against a pristine white backdrop, this bouquet reads as an intentional study in contrast and texture, built from three primary elements that together feel both modern and timeless. The composition is anchored by large, billowy clusters of bright sky-blue hydrangeas - each cluster made of countless small petals overlapping to form a plush, almost cloud-like mass that provides generous volume and a cool, calming hue. Nestled deliberately within that blue are three intensely red roses, their tight, velvety spirals creating points of visual heat and classic romance that punctuate the arrangement. Fine sprays of white baby's breath are threaded through the bouquet like sparking breath, offering delicate negative space and a featherlike texture that softens the transitions between the dominant flowers. Muted, round eucalyptus leaves weave through the blossoms, their silvery-green tone adding depth, a subtle aromatic note and a botanical counterpoint to the saturated colours. The flowers are presented in a clear glass vase with a gently curved silhouette; you can see green stems in water, which underscores the freshness and care in construction. Bathed in bright, neutral light, the colours read true and saturated, making this piece ideal for a celebration, a heartfelt anniversary, or to brighten a dining table for guests. From a local perspective, this arrangement would sit beautifully in a home close to Roman Road market or beside a bench in Victoria Park, where the cool blues and warm reds echo the changing sky and the energy of East London gatherings.
I CHERISH YOU
£80.00
Gently poised against a clean, light background, this lush bouquet crafted by Old Ford's experienced florists radiates pure emotion and artistry. The focal point is a harmonious circle of roses-velvet reds symbolizing deep affection and luminous whites evoking purity and the simple joys found in the quieter lanes of the Old Ford neighbourhood. Each petal is perfectly formed, its intricate folds alive with freshness and promise. Varied emerald and silver-green leaves weave through the bouquet, their textures soft and layered, reminiscent of the greenery found along the edges of Regent's Canal. Wisps of eucalyptus and speckled foliage add a breath of calm, grounding the bouquet's energy in a serene balance. All is enfolded in ethereal blush-pink wrapping, each layer tenderly gathered and tied-a soft echo of East London's pastel mornings. This arrangement brings more than beauty; it carries the essence of thoughtful gifting, consolation, or joyful milestones, echoing the community's warmth. Whether marking a special day or serving as a comforting gesture, this bouquet embodies the subtle art of local floristry, offering both visual richness and a touch of Old Ford's heartfelt spirit.
INFINITY
£79.00
A refined, romantic arrangement photographed on a crisp white background, anchored by one large, fully open creamy white Oriental lily placed slightly forward to draw the eye. Its soft, pristine petals unfurl around pale yellow stamens and a faint green pistil, while a surrounding chorus of closed and partially opened lily buds in lime-green and creamy yellow adds density and the sense of unfolding life. Nestled among these are small, velvety red rosebuds, mostly still in their tight stages, offering concentrated flashes of passionate colour that contrast beautifully with the lighter blossoms. The floral shapes are supported by an abundant mix of greens: deep, glossy lily leaves create a dark, structured backdrop; long, arching palm-style fronds in a brighter emerald hue introduce sweeping motion; and scattered eucalyptus sprigs with their rounded, silvery leaves lend a cool, refined texture. All stems rest in a clear cylindrical glass vase, the water and pale green stalks visible through the glass, which reinforces the bouquet's freshness and simple elegance. As a local florist arranging for neighbours around Victoria Park and Roman Road Market, I picture this piece delivered with care across Old Ford, carrying a scent that is soft, slightly powdery from the lilies, warmed by the rose's richer perfume. The composition suggests celebration and sincere affection - fitting for anniversaries, birthdays, or as an elegant centrepiece - yet its cool palette and structured foliage also lend a composed dignity suitable for sympathy. Crafted with attentive layering of colour and texture, this bouquet reflects both classical romance and the quiet, hands-on expertise you'd expect from a small East London shop.
INSPIRATION
£65.00
This arrangement reads like a quiet love letter in flowers: deep crimson and rich burgundy roses are woven with gentle lavender and dusty purple roses to form a dense, rounded bouquet that feels intimate and considered. The roses are fully in bloom, their layered petals curling outward in velvety spirals; highlights from the studio lighting pick out the satiny texture and the subtle differences between the wine-tones and the mauves. Interspersed throughout, dark green foliage - the kind of Ruscus or Salal we select for structure - gives the composition breathing room and a cool, green counterpoint. Scattered among the blooms, jewel-like red-orange rose hips add a lively, woodland accent and a slight crunchy texture by contrast.

The vase is an important part of the story: a mercury-glass style vessel, silvered and gently mottled, rounded at the belly and narrowing toward the top so the bouquet reads compact and abundant. A simple length of natural twine or raffia is knotted around the neck, and a flat white rectangular tag hangs forward, showing a tiny floral sketch and space for a handwritten note. Set against a brilliant white backdrop, the colours feel sharp and fresh - perfect for anniversary gestures, heartfelt apologies, or a sophisticated 'thinking of you.'

As a florist serving Old Ford and the surrounding streets toward Bow and Cambridge Heath, I imagine this delivered with care for a table by a sunny window, the fragrance of roses softening morning light and giving any room an air of considered luxury.
LOVE & PASSION
£65.00
A close, straight-on view shows a dramatic square box of roses that looks as though it has been designed for a truly memorable declaration of love somewhere in Old Ford. The container is a sleek, matte black cube with perfectly straight sides and a smooth, almost satin-like surface that quietly absorbs the light. A slim white stripe wraps horizontally around the lower part of the box, like a tailored trim on a well-cut jacket, giving the design a polished, high-end finish reminiscent of stylish gifting boutiques dotted between Bow and Hackney Wick. Sitting on top, twelve preserved ruby red roses fill the entire opening in an exact 3-by-4 grid. Each bloom is at its absolute peak, petals unfurling in tight, concentric layers, their velvety surfaces catching the soft, diffused light. The reds are deep and saturated, veering toward crimson with faint tonal variations that suggest real, natural petals rather than anything artificial. The flowers stand slightly above the rim of the box, creating a plush cushion of colour that feels almost touchable, as if you could sink your fingers into the softness. The white background removes any distraction, making the roses and their dark frame the only focus, like a gallery piece. Subtle shadows just beneath the petals and along the base give depth without any harsh contrast. The composition speaks of romance, sophistication, and intention-perfect for an apology delivered to a doorstep off Parnell Road, a birthday surprise for someone working near Fish Island, or a timeless anniversary gesture that will stay beautiful over many days.
LOVE'S EMBRACE
£150.00
A classic red and white bouquet rises from a clear glass vase, set sharply against a clean white background that highlights every petal and leaf. In the centre, several deep red roses draw the eye, each bloom with tightly layered, velvety petals that curl into refined spirals, suggesting new romance and heartfelt admiration. Surrounding them are plentiful red carnations, their frilled, densely packed petals creating a soft yet striking texture that contrasts beautifully with the smoother rose blooms. Drifted through the arrangement is a generous spray of white baby's breath; the tiny, cloud-like flowers seem to float between the reds, creating pockets of lightness and air that make the bouquet feel full yet not overpowering. Tucked amongst the flowers, slender stems of eucalyptus and other fresh foliage in varying shades of green give depth and shape, their rounded leaves and slender stems forming a gentle frame around the central flowers. The transparent vase, with its modest, slightly flared neck, shows the straight, carefully arranged stems gathered in clear water, giving the impression of freshness and recent preparation. Bright, even lighting makes the reds appear rich and saturated while keeping the whites crisp and clean, as though the bouquet has just been placed on a polished counter in a local Old Ford flower shop. The overall mood is warm and romantic, perfect for sending a message of affection or congratulations to someone living near Victoria Park, Fish Island, or the streets around Old Ford, whether for Valentine's Day, an anniversary, or a quiet evening celebration at home.
MY SWEETHEART
£65.00
A classic bouquet of around a dozen to fifteen deep red roses stands proudly in a red glass vase, photographed against a spotless white backdrop that lets every detail shine. Each rose is in full, confident bloom, the petals thick and velvety, curling outward in precise, spiralling layers that form rich, rounded flower heads. The red is a true, saturated crimson, neither too bright nor too dark, suggesting premium stems chosen at their perfect moment, as a skilled florist in Old Ford might select early in the morning before arranging deliveries along Roman Road or towards Hackney Wick. Between the roses, lush dark green foliage creates a natural frame; the leaves are glossy, slightly elongated, and gently pointed, likely ruscus or a similar filler leaf, placed to give the bouquet a structured yet organic feel. They break up the intensity of the red and contribute to a sense of depth, as if the flowers are emerging from a cool, leafy embrace. The vase itself is made of red-tinted glass with a softly curving silhouette, narrower at the base and widening gracefully to support the full crown of blooms. Its subtle ribbed or undulating texture catches the light in faint vertical lines, so that highlights and shadows dance across the surface, deepening the impression of ruby glass. Because the glass is translucent, a muted view of the stems can be seen within, giving the arrangement a sense of honesty and life. The unchanged white background acts like a blank canvas, ensuring that the interplay of crimson petals and emerald leaves becomes the sole focus. Emotionally, the arrangement reads as sincere, passionate, and slightly luxurious, a bouquet suited to anniversaries, milestone celebrations, or a grand romantic gesture sent across Old Ford with care and precision.
PASSION STRUCK
£70.00
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
An opulent collection of deep red roses commands attention in this lavish bouquet, reminiscent of the grand gestures often exchanged along the canals and lanes of Old Ford. The flowers are massed in a perfect, rounded dome-each rose featuring velvety petals, their texture almost palpable, spiraling out from tightly furled hearts to lush, open coronas. Amidst this sea of scarlet, broad and glossy green leaves fan out, imparting both visual depth and a grounding richness to the composition. A sumptuous satin ribbon, in a tone echoing the reds of the blooms, gathers the stems with a flourish-its wide loops and trailing ends lending a sense of occasion, as if the bouquet was destined for a romantic evening near Victoria Park or an anniversary dinner on St. Stephen's Road. The entire arrangement glows softly in diffused light, the colours shifting from ruby to garnet, revealing subtle shadows and highlights that dance across the petals. There's an underlying sense of anticipation and celebration in the design; one can almost imagine the fresh, heady scent filling the air, reminiscent of a summer garden at the edge of the River Lea. Crafted by skilled hands, this creation embodies both timeless elegance and a very local sense of heartfelt celebration-a floral gift that promises to make any special moment in Old Ford truly unforgettable.
RED EXUBERANCE
£299.00
In this artfully composed bouquet from a trusted Old Ford florist, an opulent cluster of deep red roses rises from a sleek matte black hat box, their tightly packed blooms reminiscent of carefully tended gardens along the Greenway. Each rose, with petals unfurling in detailed spirals, boasts a velvety touch that promises indulgence and sensory delight. Shadows and highlights play across the lush dome, enhancing the arrangement's sense of generosity and fullness, as if each flower has been placed with purposeful affection. The vibrant red hues glow against the minimalist white background, amplifying the mood of passionate devotion and luxurious gifting. A lustrous red satin ribbon is wrapped around the top of the box, tied into an elegant bow whose sparkling crystal or rhinestone accent at the centre adds a unexpected hint of glamour-mirroring the chic touches often found in boutique windows of Old Ford Lane. The overall impression is one of intimacy and significance, perfect for those life moments-anniversaries, proposals, or heartfelt romantic gestures-where words fall short but the language of flowers endures. This bouquet serves not only as a visual feast but as an olfactory one as well, with the imagined scent of dewy garden roses lingering softly, ready to transform any home in Old Ford with a sense of celebration and refined affection.

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.

VANITY FAIR
£50.00
Arranged thoughtfully in a rounded glass vase, this bouquet feels like a heartfelt embrace-a vivid celebration of life and local artistry from Florist Old Ford. The focal point is the cluster of ruffled carnations, their petals unfurling in shades of deep red, pale pink, and velvety white, forming voluminous mounds within the composition. Wispy clouds of baby's breath thread between the generous carnations, their minute white blossoms offering gentle contrast while adding a soft, airy texture reminiscent of early morning mist drifting across the canals near Old Ford Lock. The bouquet's spherical shape is both classical and inviting, evoking a sense of symmetry and balance. Lighting from above brings out the creases and tonal variations in the petals, making each color pop against the pure white background. The clear vase anchors the arrangement while subtly displaying the water and gathered stems. Whether gifted to express affection on a partner's birthday, say thank you to a neighbor along Wick Lane, or mark an anniversary with a flourish of enduring blooms, this bouquet is a testament to the skill and care found in every corner of Old Ford.

WARM WISHES
£55.00
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.

WONDROUS BLOOMS
£50.00
A richly detailed bouquet of roses is captured in front of a clean white backdrop, the kind of romantic arrangement a local Old Ford florist might prepare for an evening proposal or milestone anniversary dinner. At its heart, numerous red and scarlet roses, some just beginning to unfurl and others fully open with cushiony, velvety petals, create a dense core of passion and warmth. Between these bold blooms, creamy white and ivory roses glow like soft candlelight, a few petals brushed with a very pale pink that adds tenderness and dimension without disturbing the classic palette. Scattered throughout are petite clusters of bright pink filler flowers, reminiscent of mini carnations or berry-like accents, which lighten the mood and give the eye smaller points of interest to discover. Surrounding the roses, arching stems of blue-green eucalyptus bring a modern, airy frame; their rounded, slightly frosted leaves add movement and suggest a refreshing, herbal fragrance. Deeper green foliage weaves in and out, supporting the design and enhancing the sense of lush, garden-inspired abundance. The stems gather neatly into a clear glass vase with a rounded base and slimmer neck, the transparent sides revealing fresh green stems and clear water that speak of careful conditioning and same-day preparation. The high-key white background isolates the arrangement so that every colour and texture stands out, making this bouquet a versatile choice for romantic gestures, celebration dinners, or elegant deliveries to houses and apartments across Old Ford, from quiet residential streets to livelier corners near local cafés and canalside walks.
CRAZY FOR YOU
£65.00
An opulent bouquet of pristine white lilies and sumptuous red roses appears as if freshly arranged on a florist's counter, photographed against a bright white background so every colour and contour is crisp and clear. The white Oriental lilies dominate the centre, some blooms fully open with wide, star-like petals, others in the process of unfurling, their buds still edged with soft green along the tips. Within the open lilies, dark reddish-brown stamens arch outward, their slightly powdery texture contrasting with the smooth, satiny petals. Between these striking flowers, clusters of red roses are tucked in thoughtfully, their petals tightly coiled in the centre and gently loosening around the outer edges, giving the impression of romance and timeless beauty. Rich, dark green foliage fans out behind and beneath the blooms, combining broader, glossy leaves with slender, grass-like strands that lend a sense of structure and rhythm to the design. The bouquet is gathered into a lush, rounded shape, then wrapped in layers of vivid pink, translucent cellophane that crinkle softly and reflect light in delicate highlights and shadows. At the base, a small lime green satin ribbon is knotted neatly, its fresh, citrus-like tone echoing the natural greenery and adding a modern twist. The overall feeling is joyful and sophisticated, like a bouquet chosen to surprise someone in Old Ford after a walk along the Regents Canal or a relaxed afternoon near Mile End Park. It suggests a thoughtful gift for special deliveries across the area - from romantic gestures to heartfelt thank-yous and bright get-well wishes.
