“I'M SORRY” FLOWERS
A refined, thoughtfully balanced bouquet of creamy white roses, lavender alstroemeria, and feathery baby's breath is displayed in a clear cylindrical vase, bathed in soft, natural daylight that suggests a bright yet tranquil room somewhere off Old Ford Road. The roses are the calm heart of the design, their petals unfurling in flawless spirals, a gentle ivory that catches the light along each curved edge. Between them weave stems of alstroemeria in hues of muted lilac and soft purple, some still in slender bud, others just opening to reveal delicately veined petals with subtle strokes of deeper violet and touches of green at the base. Wisps of gypsophila thread through the composition like lace, their tiny white blossoms adding a cloud-like, almost shimmering texture that softens every angle. Surrounding this interplay of white and lavender is a collar of lush greenery, from broad, rich green leaves to finer, more linear stems that arc and curve, giving the design a full, rounded silhouette and a sense of poised movement. Through the transparent glass of the vase, the stems are visible in neat, parallel lines, immersed in clear water that hints at freshness and careful conditioning by a skilled florist. The overall mood feels serene and quietly celebratory, suitable for sending sympathy, marking a new chapter, or simply bringing a sense of calm elegance to a home overlooking nearby Victoria Park. Imagined as a same-day delivery across Old Ford, this bouquet would sit beautifully on a hallway console, a work-from-home desk, or a sunlit kitchen table, offering a gentle reminder of care, renewal, and thoughtful connection.
MAKE A WISH
£60.00
There is an understated grace to this arrangement of white roses and baby's breath that feels both tender and composed when viewed against a clean white backdrop. Approximately a dozen creamy roses sit at the centre, each petal unfurling with a soft, almost waxen texture-some fully open and velvety, others still forming a delicate cup-creating a subtle rhythm of bloom and promise. Wisps of Gypsophila drift between the larger flowers like morning mist, lending the bouquet a weightless, dreamy quality and a halo of tiny white points that make the composition read as light and ethereal. Beneath the blooms, green foliage in shades from deep forest to pale lime forms a fresh, verdant foundation; the leaves' glossy veins and sculpted shapes provide contrast and structure while remaining unobtrusive. The arrangement sits in a simple clear glass vase, the trimmed stems visible and the waterline a quiet confirmation of care-the kind of detail a florist pays attention to when preparing flowers for hand delivery. In gentle daylight the creamy whites warm slightly, and one imagines the bouquet filling a front room with a soft scent rather than an intrusive perfume. Locally, this is the calm centerpiece you might order to brighten a flat near Roman Road Market or to place beside a favourite chair after a walk around Victoria Park; it carries a feeling of considered simplicity and quiet affection, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or to offer comfort with dignity.
MY ONLY
£70.00
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. It is an arrangement designed not only to delight the eye, but to stir memories and create new ones within the heart of the community.
WARM WISHES
£55.00
This elegant glass-vase arrangement reads like a miniature garden in refined, celebratory dress, captured against a crisp white field that makes every hue sing. Tall, white calla lilies arch with sculptural grace, their smooth, trumpet-shaped blooms and pale yellow spadices lending a clean, contemporary line to the composition. A statuesque column of white stock (similar to larkspur) adds soft, clustered texture and vertical sophistication, while multiple deep fuchsia or magenta peonies unfurl below - two fully open, luxuriant blooms of deeply ruffled petals flank a smaller bud that promises a later reveal. A single creamy-white rose sits low and sincere, its compact spiral of petals offering a timeless touch beside the more theatrical peonies. Baby's breath threads through the bouquet, lightening the visual weight with tiny, cloud-like blossoms, and a mix of ferny fronds and broad green leaves provides a lush, natural frame. The water-filled clear vase subtly discloses stems, affirming freshness and simple craftsmanship, while gentle lighting emphasizes the velvety texture of the peonies and the callas' porcelain sheen. The overall mood is joyful and composed - perfect for marking milestones, saying thank you, or sending heartfelt congratulations - and this style is well-suited for same-day or next-day delivery to homes and venues around Old Ford, Bow and the Victoria Park area.
HOPELESS ROMANTIC
£65.00
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
As a dedicated florist deeply rooted in Old Ford, I take pride in assembling gifts that stir the soul, and this bouquet of coral and peach roses is a luminous testament to that passion. Each carefully selected bloom reveals a gentle cascade from golden-yellow or cream centres into sunset hues of salmon, coral, and lively pink, creating a sense of natural movement through the bouquet-like the sophisticated glow of late summer evenings by the River Lea. The verdant green foliage framing the roses is glossy and full, reminiscent of the greenery found in the nearby Grove Hall Park, its freshness catching soft daylight. With velvety petals and sculpted leaves, the flowers promise sensory delight that goes beyond sight, inviting touch and evoking memories of laughter-filled celebrations. Below this exuberant display lies a pouch of Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolates-a creamy package emblazoned with elegant branding-accompanied by two dark, glossy truffles. Their rich chocolate scent conjures anticipation of sweet, citrus-kissed indulgence, harmonising beautifully with the floral aroma. Presenting both beauty and flavour, this arrangement is crafted for life's heartfelt moments, whether marking an anniversary, gifting a loved one, or comforting a friend in Old Ford with an expression of artistry, warmth, and genuine care.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
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
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 softly lit studio-style photograph showcases a lush hydrangea bouquet that feels as if it has just been carried in from a quiet Old Ford back garden. At the centre, generous domes of hydrangeas in pastel pink, pale sky blue, and clean, creamy white nestle together, each head made up of hundreds of small, overlapping petals that give an almost cushion-like fullness. The colours are gentle yet uplifting, like the first clear morning after rain along the towpath by the River Lea. Between these larger blooms, slender stems of deep fuchsia or magenta waxflower - or a similar filler bloom - weave in and out, their miniature blossoms adding a fine, lacy contrast and flecks of more intense colour. The bouquet is wrapped in a collar of fresh greenery, with broad, dark green hydrangea leaves layered beneath lighter, smaller leaves that soften the edges and help round the composition into a classic, domed shape. All the stems are tightly gathered and tied at the base, creating the look of a hand-tied bouquet ready to be placed into a simple glass vase on a dining table near Old Ford Road or a windowsill overlooking Mile End Park. The white background keeps the focus firmly on the interplay of hues and textures: the pillowy petals, the dainty filler flowers, and the glossy foliage. The arrangement suggests a peaceful yet joyful emotion, making it perfect for birthdays, get-well wishes, or thoughtful congratulations, and it evokes the freshness and care associated with a locally crafted floral gift delivered across Old Ford.
FAIRYTALE BLISS
£60.00
A generous cluster of roses in red, white, and vivid royal blue is gathered into a flawless sphere, the kind of hand-tied bouquet you might see resting on a dining table in Old Ford after a special delivery. The blooms are tightly massed so that only petals and a hint of greenery are visible from above, creating the impression of a plush, floral cushion. Each rose is at its ideal stage, with petals unfurling in elegant spirals yet still holding a sense of firmness and life. The crimson roses have a classic, romantic depth, the white roses glow with a soft creaminess, and the blue roses add an unexpected, almost contemporary twist, their saturated colour evoking flags and festive bunting seen around local gatherings. Between the blooms, small pockets of dark green leaves peek through, adding structure and a cool undertone that keeps the arrangement from feeling flat. The stems at the base are neatly bundled and cut level, suggesting it has just been finished by an experienced florist preparing it for a vase in a home off Wick Lane or a small gathering near the Hertford Union Canal. Bright, neutral lighting accentuates the reds, whites, and blues without casting strong shadows, letting every petal and curve be clearly defined. Overall, the bouquet radiates a sense of pride, togetherness, and joyful ceremony, suitable for patriotic occasions, remembrance events, or simply bringing a refined burst of colour and classic rose scent into an Old Ford living room.
LIKE A ROYAL
£85.00
A round, luxuriously full bouquet is set against a pure white background, highlighting its soft mix of cream, blush, and warm pink tones that feel at home in a cosy Old Ford living room or café along Roman Road. At the centre, generously bloomed cream roses open in perfect spirals, their petals slightly curled at the edges as though they have just reached peak beauty. Surrounding them, clusters of pink spray roses and miniature rosebuds in varying stages of opening weave a story of romance and tenderness, each bud promising to unfurl in its own time. Pink gerbera daisies, with their wide, sunburst petals and rich brown centres, lift the mood of the bouquet, adding a youthful brightness that draws the eye. Light pink carnations, their petals layered and delicately frilled, lend a nostalgic softness, reminiscent of traditional English garden flowers treasured across East London terraces. Nestled in between, slender white alstroemeria petals, gently speckled with fine reddish markings, introduce a subtle pattern that rewards closer attention. Tiny white gypsophila blooms scatter through the design like lace, bringing airiness and a cloud-like softness that balances the denser roses and carnations. Fresh green leaves and stems weave discreetly throughout, offering contrast and a reminder of the garden origins of every stem. The gathered stems at the base are neatly bound, indicating a thoughtful, professional finish ready for gifting or same-day delivery around Old Ford. This bouquet carries a mood of hope, comfort, and quiet joy, ideal for sending congratulations, welcoming a new baby, or simply letting someone nearby know they are held in warm regard.
AMALFI LOVE
£59.00
A lush, rounded bouquet in shades of white, cream, and green is captured against a bright white backdrop, giving the impression of soft daylight pouring into a home in Old Ford. At the centre, several large ivory and creamy white roses are fully open, their petals forming generous, velvety cups that suggest quiet romance and timeless elegance. Interlaced with these are sculptural heads of ornamental cabbage, their deep green outer leaves wrapping protectively around tightly ruffled cores of pale green and yellow-green, adding a distinctly contemporary, almost sculpted feel to the composition. Around them dance clusters of tiny white spray chrysanthemums and daisy-like flowers, their many petals circling delicate yellow-green centres, bringing an airy, playful texture that lightens the overall look. Threaded through the bouquet are spiky, star-shaped blossoms - likely astrantia - in greenish-white tones, lending a fine, lacy intricacy that feels like wildflowers gathered along the towpath near the River Lea. Here and there, slim white alstroemeria blooms appear, their petals gently marked and slightly flared, adding subtle sophistication. A rich mix of fresh green foliage frames the entire design, with both broad, sturdy leaves and more slender stems creating depth and a natural, garden-style fullness. The stems at the base are clearly visible and tightly banded, emphasising the hand-tied craftsmanship that a local florist would prepare for same-day delivery around Old Ford and the wider East London area. The bouquet radiates a sense of calm freshness, ideal as a refined sympathy gesture, a chic housewarming gift, or an elegant centrepiece for a modern apartment overlooking Victoria Park.
AMAZON SANGRIA
£50.00
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
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
Set against a crisp white backdrop, this image showcases a classic romantic pairing that feels as at home in Old Ford as an evening stroll along the Regent's Canal. On the left stands a generous bouquet of about twelve deep red roses, each one beautifully formed, with petals that appear thick, velvety, and slightly curled at the tips, as if just starting to relax into full bloom. Their rich crimson colour is intense yet refined, catching the light in subtle gradients from darker burgundy shadows to brighter, glowing red highlights. Weaving among the roses are abundant sprays of white baby's breath, their countless tiny blossoms creating a soft mist that cushions the stronger tones and adds a sense of lift and airiness. The arrangement is held in a clear glass vase, straight-sided and unfussy, allowing the fresh green stems and clear water to be seen, reinforcing the impression of a bouquet freshly prepared in a local Old Ford florist's workshop. To the right of the vase sits a cuddly, light brown teddy bear, upright and attentive, as though ready to greet someone at the door. Its plush fur looks fluffy and comforting, and its small dark eyes have a friendly, almost knowing expression. A neat dark brown ribbon ties around its neck, adding a subtle note of elegance to its otherwise simple, homely character. The bright, even lighting and uncluttered background keep the focus on the partnership between flowers and bear, suggesting an intimate, heartfelt gift. It's the sort of set that would be chosen for a surprise delivery to a partner, a new parent, or someone in need of reassurance and love in the Old Ford area.
FOREVER & TEDDY BEAR
£80.00
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 lush, rounded bouquet of chrysanthemums fills the frame, presented against a crisp white backdrop that highlights every subtle variation of cream, white, and green. Most striking are the larger chrysanthemum heads, their petals layered in soft concentric circles from muted greenish or pale yellow centres out to creamy-white tips, giving the arrangement a pillowy, almost cloud-like appearance. Nestled among them, delicate white spray chrysanthemums create a daisy-like scattering of smaller blooms, adding lightness and a sense of movement, as though the flowers had just been gathered fresh from a local Old Ford garden on a clear morning. Intermixed throughout the bouquet, bold lime green pompon chrysanthemums form tight spheres, each one densely petalled and velvety in texture, providing a lively contrast that enlivens the quieter whites and creams. Dark green foliage offers a rich base and occasional glimpses between flowers, grounding the palette with natural depth. At the base of the design, the long stems are expertly aligned and firmly tied with a wide lime green satin ribbon, fashioned into a full, multi-loop bow that glows softly against the stems. The ribbon colour mirrors the vivid green pompons, pulling the entire design together in a cohesive way. The bouquet conveys a feeling of freshness and renewal, perfect for celebrating new beginnings, sending best wishes to a neighbour near Old Ford Road, or offering gentle comfort. Its balanced blend of white serenity and invigorating green makes it an adaptable choice for homes, workplaces, and intimate gatherings across the Old Ford area.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
A beautifully balanced cluster of oriental lilies arranged with the considered hand of a local florist, photographed against a bright white backdrop that accentuates their pure tones and luxurious textures. The bouquet presents a duet of creamy white and deep pink-to-fuchsia lilies: many blooms are wide open with trumpet-like, star-shaped petals revealing prominent stamens and delicate anthers, while others remain in tight buds that signal several days of unfolding beauty. The white lilies show a gentle wash of yellow-green at their throats; the pinks exhibit velvety surfaces, occasional pale veining and soft, creamy centres that add dimensional contrast. Interspersed throughout are substantial dark green, lanceolate leaves that cut crisp lines through the mass of blossoms and heighten the sense of natural vitality. The flowers are gathered in a transparent glass vase, visible at the base of the image, where the clear water and trimmed stems confirm the bouquet's freshness and careful preparation. Under bright, even studio lighting, petal textures and subtle colour gradations read with clarity, inviting a sensory response to scent and touch even for someone who cannot see the image. Suitable for gifting on anniversaries, as a Mother's Day centrepiece or to brighten a home in Old Ford or nearby Hackney Wick, this arrangement communicates refinement, enduring freshness and thoughtful craftmanship. It embodies the reassuring confidence of a florist's signature design-seasonal, fragrant and purposely composed to feel both celebratory and intimately personal.
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
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
This image shows a full, rounded bouquet that seems to glow softly against a clean white background, much like morning light over Old Ford's quiet residential streets. Dominating the composition are two sumptuous domes of pink hydrangea, their many tiny petals overlapping in tight clusters to form generous, cloud-like blooms. The pink is gentle rather than sugary, with subtle variations of blush and rose that create depth, as though the colour has been brushed on in layers. Nestled among the hydrangeas are several light pink roses, some unfurled into classic spirals that reveal every velvety petal, others still in bud, their pointed tips wrapped close and hinting at beauty still to open. Threading up and out through the arrangement are graceful stems of bell-shaped flowers in pale lavender and soft lilac purple, echoing the tones of early evening skies by the river Lea. These delicate bells, likely campanula, add movement and height, their fluted forms creating an airy, almost musical rhythm. Closer to the centre, tiny filler blossoms in deeper fuchsia and bright raspberry pink cluster in small sprays, adding sparkles of vivid colour and fine texture that contrast with the larger, fluffier hydrangea heads. Lush green foliage and slender budding stems cradle the entire design, framing the blossoms and giving the bouquet a freshly gathered, garden-like character. The stems at the bottom are neatly bound in a hand-tied style, ready to slip into a favourite jug or glass vase on a table overlooking Old Ford Road. The overall mood is tender and uplifting, a pink and lavender composition that would suit a birthday breakfast, an anniversary dinner, or a simple thank-you bouquet delivered to friends and family across Old Ford and nearby Bow.
PINK CASHMERE
£59.00
Set against a clean white background, this hand-tied bouquet looks like a carefully composed snapshot of a late spring garden, the kind of arrangement a florist in Old Ford might prepare for a meaningful celebration. At its centre, softly shaded pink roses unfold in delicate spirals, some with just a hint of deeper pink tracing the petal edges, creating a romantic, almost nostalgic feel. Interwoven among them are generous carnations in tones of dusty rose and mauve; their densely ruffled petals catch the light and lend a plush, almost fabric-like texture that contrasts beautifully with the smoother rose petals. Shooting up through the blooms, sleek spires of deep lavender-blue Veronica provide a graceful vertical rhythm, their elongated forms gently breaking the rounded silhouette and adding a sense of height. Around these lie clusters of velvety purple lisianthus flowers, their bell-shaped heads adding depth and richness to the palette, reminiscent of twilight over the nearby canals. Fine sprays of aster-like flowers in soft lavender-blue, each with a pale yellow centre, bring a light, airy quality, as if the bouquet were dusted with tiny stars. The flowers are anchored by varied greenery: bright lime-green, almost chartreuse filler that gives a vivid, energising pop of colour, contrasted with cool, silvery eucalyptus leaves and other lush foliage that wrap around the arrangement, creating a natural, garden-inspired frame. Viewed from slightly above, the bouquet feels full, rounded, and beautifully balanced, with the neatly aligned stems visible at the base, bound together in a traditional hand-tied style. The design suggests quiet luxury and genuine affection, ideal for same-day flower delivery to homes and workplaces across Old Ford, Bow, and nearby East London streets.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
This photograph captures a generous cluster of white lilies arranged with deliberate balance and quiet poise, each flower presented with clarity and dignity against a flawless white background. The blooms reveal multiple layers of pristine white petals that unfurl in graceful arcs; nearer to each flower's heart a faint cream-yellow hue deepens the centre like a soft wash of sunlight. Prominent within several blossoms are long, delicate stamens - pale greenish-yellow filaments topped with rich brown anthers - adding a gentle, organic punctuation to the otherwise pure palette. Verdant, elongated leaves weave through the bouquet, their deep green surfaces offering a strong, living contrast that amplifies the lilies' luminosity. The transparent glass vase, with a softly flaring neck and solid base, holds clear water and neatly cut pale green stems visible through the vessel, a small testament to careful floral technique and freshness. In my experience as a florist, arrangements like this bring a hush of reassurance to a room: a cool satin texture, a subtle floral scent, and a composure that can mean celebration or consolation. The overall impression is one of refinement and sincere sentiment - suitable for a serene reception space, a tasteful dining centrepiece, or a gentle tribute delivered within Old Ford and toward Bow and Roman Road Market.
STRIKING BEAUTY
£65.00
A refined, full vase of pink oriental lilies is captured against a crisp white backdrop, every detail tuned to showcase freshness and form. The bouquet's many large, six-petalled blossoms open in vivid fuchsia and rosy pink tones, their broad petals gently rolling back to reveal chartreuse-yellow throats that graduate into creamy centres. Prominent, dark burgundy anthers stand atop slender filaments, dusted with fresh pollen that adds a tactile contrast to the smooth petals; several elongated buds, ranging from pale pink to deep fuchsia with green tips, are threaded through the arrangement and promise further days of bloom. Lush, lance-like leaves in deep green provide a verdant counterpoint and help sculpt the bouquet's full, upright silhouette. The clear glass vase tapers subtly and exposes neatly trimmed stems and clean water, details that signal professional conditioning and a longer vase life. Under soft, even studio lighting the lilies' texture - waxy yet delicate - and their soft perfume seem almost audible. As a florist working from Old Ford I picture this arrangement delivered from Florist Old Ford to a bedside in Mile End or set by the River Lea for a small celebration; it suits birthdays, heartfelt thank-yous, or understated sympathy. The image reads as an elegant study in colour and botanical architecture, marrying simple materials with skilled placement so the blooms remain the unmistakable focal point.
VIBRANT DELIGHT
£60.00
A lavish dome of freshly cut roses fills the frame, their colours glowing against a spotless white background in a way that recalls a carefully arranged display in an Old Ford studio florist. The bouquet is tightly composed, creating an abundant, rounded silhouette where no gaps show, just a continuous tapestry of petals. Rich crimson and ruby reds are interwoven with light and mid-tone pinks, vivid fuchsia, glowing golden yellows, and fiery orange roses, with scattered cream and soft ivory blooms adding a gentle pause to the stronger colours. Each rose has its own character: some blossoms are open wide, their curved petals softly layered like satin, while others remain cupped and spiralled, promising to unfold over the coming days. Dark, healthy green leaves weave between the flower heads, adding contrast and giving the eye moments of rest from the intensity of the colours. Beneath the dome of petals, a tidy cluster of straight green stems is visible, gathered into a hand-tied bunch and secured with a green and white checked ribbon that brings to mind relaxed weekend walks across Victoria Park or down Roman Road. The lighting feels natural and crisp, picking out the velvety texture of the petals and the subtle shadows that give the arrangement depth and dimension. This is the sort of bouquet that might be chosen for a milestone birthday, a romantic surprise in Old Ford, or a cheerful thank-you delivered to a friend living near the canal. The overall mood is joyous yet refined, as if a skilled florist has taken great care to ensure every colour supports the next, creating a harmonious, celebratory composition.
WAIKIKI SUNSET
£69.00
This lush, hand-tied bouquet sits plainly yet proudly against a brilliant white background, every colour and texture made clearer by the clean lighting. The central focus is a dense, almost cloud-like head of lime-green hydrangea whose many small petals create a soft, pillowy texture and a bright, modern focal point. Nestled around that vivid green are several roses: rich, deep-red roses with velvety petals that suggest classic romance, and more demure blush-pink and cream roses that open with a gentle, romantic softness. Coral-pink carnations pepper the composition with crinkled, frilly edges, bringing warmth and tactile variety, while sculptural blue-grey Eryngium thistles introduce an elemental, slightly edgy note with their spiky, star-shaped bracts. A generous spill of silvery eucalyptus rounds the bouquet, its matte, aromatic leaves adding cool contrast and a subtle herbal scent, complemented by long, thin blades of grass or filler leaves that arch and breathe. The blooms are gathered by hand and tied at the base with a natural fibre tie, exposing the fresh green stems and revealing the craftsmanship behind the arrangement. In the quiet, neutral studio light - the sort of light you might find filtering through a shop window on Old Ford Road near the Hertford Union Canal - the bouquet's colours sing: lime, coral, blush, cream, deep red and steely blue form a harmonious, contemporary palette. This composition would work beautifully for birthdays, anniversaries, or as a thoughtful gift to brighten a flat in Bow or a terrace near Roman Road market, offering both sculptural interest and floral warmth.
WILD AT HEART
£59.00
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.
WONDROUS BLOOMS
£50.00
Carefully composed in a transparent tapered vase and photographed against a flawless white backdrop, this bouquet balances dramatic colour with soft, classical form. A generous, rounded cluster of deep blue hydrangeas takes centre stage, its mass of tiny petals creating a cool, tactile richness that anchors the whole design. Around its lower edges, creamy white roses bloom in tight, velveteen spirals, offering a delicate scent and a comforting, familiar texture. Above and through the blue cluster, pristine white calla lilies extend their smooth, trumpet-like blooms, porcelain in appearance and adding elegant vertical movement; a faint wash of pale green at their throats speaks to natural freshness. Interspersed among the lilies and roses are slender spires of white snapdragon or stock, their small florets climbing skyward and lending an airy, romantic cadence. The greens-glossy broad leaves and soft, lacy fern fronds-provide depth and a verdant counterpoint, their varied surfaces catching gentle highlights from the studio light. The clear vase reveals the tidy stems and water, underscoring the craft of arranging and the bouquet's freshness. As a local touch, this composition is the sort of sympathetic yet uplifting design our customers request for deliveries around Old Ford and near Roman Road Market; Florist Old Ford prepares similar arrangements for memorials, thoughtful anniversaries, or a peaceful centrepiece. The overall impression is one of understated luxury: balanced, soothing, and thoughtfully made by hands who understand both floral technique and the subtle moods of East London life.
