THINKING OF YOU FLOWERS
An elegant, hand-crafted bouquet stands upright against a pure white backdrop, every detail of the flowers and wrapping clearly visible, as if displayed on a counter in a cosy Old Ford florist just off Old Ford Road. The arrangement centres around creamy white roses, their petals tightly layered and gently curling at the edges, giving an impression of calm, timeless beauty. Surrounding them, deep magenta carnations form rich, textured clusters, their frilled petals adding volume and a sense of rhythm, like the changing colours along the towpath by the Hertford Union Canal. Slender stems of white alstroemeria weave through the composition, each bloom marked with fine pink-red streaks and dark stamens that create a subtle, intricate pattern when viewed close up. Fresh green foliage, including a few leaves with variegated edges, fills the spaces between the flowers, offering a lively contrast to the whites and magentas and making the bouquet appear lush and full. The flowers are gathered into a rounded dome at the top, then taper gracefully as the stems descend, showing the careful hand-tying typical of an experienced local florist. Wrapped first in crisp white paper that forms a neat collar around the blooms, the bouquet is then embraced by a sheer, crinkled layer of purple cellophane, which adds depth, sheen, and a hint of festivity. At the base, a bright green satin ribbon is tied into a small, precise bow, holding a light brown gift tag that suggests a personal message waiting to be written. The overall impression is one of joyful celebration and affection, perfect for delivery to homes near Victoria Park, creative studios around Hackney Wick, or quiet residential streets throughout Old Ford.
BLACKBERRY FUSION
£55.00
From a radiant hat-box bouquet, a local East London designer brings together a chorus of roses into a single, joyful statement. The palette blends deep crimson, sunlit yellow, electric fuchsia, powder pink, magenta, lavender, and cream, all sculpted into a domed, lush mass. Large, velvety blooms unfurl with generous grace, while smaller spray roses and tight buds tuck in between, adding playful texture and rhythm. Dark green leaves peek through, a fresh foil to the bold petals, and the soft matte finish of the pastel pink box adds a touch of contemporary refinement.

The light in the image is even and soft, enhancing the satin-like sheen of each petal and inviting the senses to imagine their fragrance-a subtle rose perfume that lingers after the box is opened. The arrangement feels abundant yet balanced, a carefully considered balance that a seasoned East London florist would craft for a special occasion: a birthday, an anniversary, or a heartfelt thank-you.

In Old Ford and nearby pockets of Mile End, Victoria Park, and Bethnal Green, this bouquet speaks of celebration and connection. It is the kind of gift that makes a room feel warmer, as if happiness could be plucked from the air and held in hand. The composition's domed silhouette communicates generosity, while the variety of sizes adds a tactile rhythm that invites close inspection and appreciation.

Delivered across East London with same-day options, this rose box brings a bright, memorable gesture to doors along Old Ford Road and beyond. It is a crafted expression of love and appreciation that travels well, stays fresh, and leaves a lasting impression of colour, scent, and craftsmanship.
ALLURING BLOOMS
£99.00
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
This radiant bouquet, carefully composed by a local Old Ford florist, conjures the gentle light of a sunlit morning passing through windowpanes on St Stephen's Road. At its heart, plush peach-pink roses open wide, their velvety spirals inviting touch and lending an unmistakably romantic allure. Flanking the roses, two standout gerbera daisies in shades of peach and apricot bring optimism and simplicity, echoed in their broad petals and distinct dark centers. Baby's breath-gypsophila-spills generously between the main flowers, their multitude of tiny white blossoms offering soft, cloudlike fullness, reminiscent of dreamy canal mornings. Dappled throughout, small, crisp white chrysanthemums with lively lime-green centers inject the arrangement with playful freshness, suggesting the promise of a new day in the heart of East London. Accents of eucalyptus and deep green leaves add earthy fragrance and structure, reminiscent of wild plots tucked near Victoria Park. All elements are gathered in a delicately rippled glass vase, its clarity emphasizing the intertwining stems and clean water. A rustic twine bow secured at the vase's slender neck cradles a discreet white tag, ideal for messages of celebration or gratitude sent to homes along Roman Road. Luminous daylight washes over the bouquet, highlighting the expert craftsmanship and local sensitivity that distinguish Old Ford florist creations, making this the perfect gift for heartfelt occasions or everyday acts of kindness.
CANDY CRUSH
£55.00
A lush, vibrant bouquet, brimming with the gentle spirit of Old Ford, invites the senses to linger in its intricacy. Nestled at the heart, soft lavender roses unfurl with quiet confidence, their subtle fragrance hinting at early spring mornings by the Regent's Canal. Bright fuchsia Gerbera daisies, instantly recognisable with their sunny open faces and deep central eyes, create a joyful contrast, radiating positivity like the morning sun over Roman Road. Richly hued magenta chrysanthemums and plum-tinted daisy-like blooms spiral outwards, their plush petals and subtle yellow-green eyes adding both dimension and a playful touch of wildness. Sprigs of fine white Gypsophila thread through the arrangement, their tiny blossoms resembling a whisper of clouds drifting across the sky, softening the bouquet with a dreamy, airy delicacy. Deep green, glossy leaves peep from beneath, grounding the vivid array and recalling the parks and garden squares scattered through Old Ford. The bouquet's sturdy, rounded composition rests in a clear, thick glass vase adorned with a textured, ice-like pattern, its tactile artistry nodding to Old Ford's traditional craftsmanship. A rustic twine tie and a crisp white tag add the final, tactile flourish-ready for a personalised note. Whether delivered as a gift for a cherished birthday, heartfelt gratitude, or to infuse a home near Wick Road with colour and scent, this arrangement is a testament to expert local floral design.
DAY BRIGHTENER
£55.00
DEVOTION
DEVOTION
£57.00
Held softly at the stems by a caring pair of hands, this lush Florist's Choice bouquet reads like a cultivated garden memory - full, layered, and tactile. The eye first finds the generous pink garden roses, their petals thick and slightly ruffled, exuding a quiet, tea-scented romance; nearby, plum-hued hellebore-like blooms create sumptuous pockets of shadow and sophistication. Pale lavender-and-white sweet peas fall like ribbons through the arrangement, their striped petals lending a vintage, poetic fragility, while coral and soft peach ranunculus add rounded, buttery centers that glow against creamy white filler blooms. A variety of fresh greens - long, slender tendrils, rounded eucalyptus-style leaves, and broader textured foliage - form an organic cradle that softens the silhouette and suggests a bouquet gathered from local beds. The image includes a clear white rectangular overlay: Florist Choice in an elegant script, a small block CHOICE beneath, and a bold ?100 at the base inside a narrow frame, announcing the florist-selected offering and price point. Lighting is gentle and diffuse, highlighting petal sheen and the layered depth of blooms while keeping the background intentionally out of focus. This arrangement feels suited to both intimate celebrations and formal occasions - a luxury floral gift that would arrive beautifully presented for anniversaries, weddings, or a thoughtful thank-you across Old Ford, Bow, and nearby Mile End. The composition and scent are imagined as fresh and long-lasting, reflecting careful seasonal selection and true craft.
FLORIST CHOICE £100
£100.00
This image captures an abundant, hand-curated Florist's Choice bouquet seen in close detail: a rich, near-black burgundy dahlia dominates the eye, its tight, velvety petals forming a powerful focal point, while surrounding it are generous garden roses in soft peach, creamy ivory, and delicate apricot that seem to glow from within. The assembly balances classic romance with contemporary texture - icy blue eryngium adds a bracing, architectural contrast, their spiky heads tipping the composition toward wild meadow notes. Speckled clusters of pale green or white hypericum berries thread through the arrangement, providing subtle points of light and tactile interest. A mixture of eucalyptus and other leafy greenery fills the negative space, some leaves whispering silver, others a deep, living green, reinforcing the bouquet's organic silhouette. The photographer has used gentle, directional lighting to accentuate petal curves and the thistle's metallic glint, resulting in a lush, layered photograph that feels both artful and approachable. At the image centre a minimalist white square frame with rounded corners overlays the blooms; inside the frame the flowing word Florist is set above a smaller, uppercase CHOICE, and the price ?60 is shown in bold type, all in white to stand out against the darker blooms beneath. The design reads as a trusted selection from a neighbourhood maker - perfect for gifting across Old Ford and the stretch toward Victoria Park, a bouquet that promises fresh fragrance and considered craftsmanship.
FLORIST CHOICE £60
£60.00
An intimate, overhead portrait of a luxurious, artisan bouquet captured in soft, natural light - the kind that spills across the benches near Victoria Park at dawn. At its heart are full-headed roses in delicate blush pink, creamy ivory and soft peach, their petals unfurling like silk and catching gentle highlights that reveal velvety layers. Intermixed are smaller, paler lavender-tinged roses that deepen the palette and give the arrangement a quietly sophisticated edge. Sprays of tiny white filler flowers and pale pink, bead-like blooms sit like embroidery between the larger blossoms, offering an airy, lace-like texture. Accents of dried grasses and cream-tan seed pods lend a rustic counterpoint, lending body and a soft, tactile crunch to the otherwise glossy petals. Silvery, rounded eucalyptus leaves thread through the bouquet, their cool, matte foliage providing structure and a refreshing aromatic note that evokes morning walks along the River Lea. The photograph is deliberately cropped to emphasize texture and composition, with a subtle soft-focus background that keeps attention on the blooms. Centered over the flowers is a neat white frame containing flowing script that reads "Florist Choice," with the price "?70" displayed in bold sans-serif beneath - a clear signpost to a curated, professional selection. This bouquet feels at once romantic and slightly wild, an ideal bespoke gift for an anniversary, Mother's Day, or a celebration, offered with neighbourhood care and ready for local delivery across Old Ford, Bow and Hackney Wick.
FLORIST CHOICE £70
£70.00
This densely packed bouquet of mixed roses reads as a small garden captured and tied by hand. Large, fully opened roses in blush pink form the soft heart of the arrangement, their petals thin and satiny, while hot magenta or deep fuchsia roses provide bold counterpoints that draw the eye and lift the mood. Subtle lavender roses introduce a cool, gentle note, and creamy white blooms reflect light like porcelain, creating a quiet luminosity across the dome of flowers. Nestled throughout are tiny clusters of spray roses in warm ivory and pale yellow, which break up the larger shapes and add a layered, textural rhythm. Glossy, dark green leaves - the kind of ruscus or salal we use for structure in our bouquets - peek between blooms, their tapered forms creating movement and a sense of lush fullness. The stems are neatly bound and finished with a wide, soft pink satin ribbon tied into a generous bow, the ribbon's smooth surface catching highlights and adding a handcrafted flourish. There is a gentle, rosy scent here, tempered by the crisp green note of the foliage, and the whole composition feels celebratory yet refined. As a florist serving Old Ford, Mile End, and the markets around Roman Road, I imagine this bouquet brightening a birthday table, marking an anniversary, or offering a tender thank-you - a versatile gift that reads as both joyful and thoughtfully composed, ready for local delivery across the neighbourhood.
GLAMOUR
£67.00
Displayed against a clean white backdrop, this hand-tied bouquet appears almost to glow, its colours and textures carefully layered like an artwork created by an experienced Old Ford florist. At first glance, the eye is drawn to sumptuous crimson red roses, their petals densely packed and velvety, each bloom opening just enough to reveal a sense of depth and classic romance. Around them unfurl graceful pink lilies, some fully opened into star-shaped flowers with soft, misty pink centres, others still held in elegant, pale green-tipped buds that promise fragrance in the days ahead. Supporting these focal blooms are generous mounds of ruffled white flowers, perhaps hydrangeas or luxurious carnations, forming a cushion-like base that softens the overall palette and brings a sense of calm. Nestled near the centre, a vivid sphere of lime green dianthus adds a fresh, unexpected splash of colour, its fine, moss-like texture catching the light in a way that feels lively and modern, much like the creative studios and cafés near Roman Road. Feathery sprays of light pink astilbe drift above and around the main blossoms, giving the design airy height and the impression of soft movement, as though a breeze were passing through an East London garden. Tiny clusters of fuchsia and soft lavender blooms punctuate the arrangement, adding glimpses of richer jewel tones when viewed closely. Deep green leaves weave throughout, framing the brighter colours with natural contrast. At the base, the stems are aligned in a neat spiral and secured with a slim red satin ribbon, clearly showing the skill of the florist's hand. The overall mood is one of refined joy and thoughtful celebration, ideal as a romantic gift, a birthday surprise, or a showpiece bouquet for a dining table in Old Ford.
HEY GORGEOUS
£65.00
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
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
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
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
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 lush, rounded bouquet of about two dozen pink roses is artfully arranged in a simple clear glass vase, captured against a spotless white background. Each rose displays a delicate colour gradient: a concentrated magenta or fuchsia center that eases into softer pastel pinks and, on some outer petals, a subtle creamy blush. The blooms are positioned tightly together to form a full dome, their spiral centres visible where the petals unfurl, while rich green leaves emerge throughout to add contrast and a sense of natural depth. The vase narrows slightly before flaring, and the trimmed stems appear crisply in the water, giving the whole arrangement a sense of freshness and care. Under bright, even lighting the petals catch subtle highlights, revealing velvety textures and the tactile folds of each bloom. Imagine the light airiness of a morning along the River Lea towpath or the floral bustle near Hackney Wick-this bouquet carries that fresh, local feeling. Its scent would be a soft, sweet rose perfume that complements the visual calm and romance. Ideal for intimate celebrations, anniversaries, or a thoughtful gesture of comfort, the composition reads modern yet timeless, the kind of bouquet a seasoned florist in Old Ford would assemble for guests collecting from Roman Road or for delivery to nearby Mile End homes. The description aims to convey texture, colour, and mood so someone who cannot see the image can sense its warmth and refinement.
LOVE IN THE AIR
£64.00
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 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
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
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
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 richly detailed hand-tied bouquet stands out crisply against a white backdrop, its colours and textures reminiscent of an artist's palette laid out on a table in a townhouse off Roman Road. At its heart, fully opened garden roses in shades of blush, dusty mauve, and antique rose curve outward in soft spirals, their layered petals creating a sense of gentle movement. Threaded generously between them are frilled carnations, each flower a blend of creamy centres and edges dipped in deeper pink and plum, giving the bouquet a rippling, cloud-like texture. Deep indigo blooms, some held in sleek, tulip-shaped buds, punctuate the design, while a single royal blue anemone with a velvety, dark centre anchors the eye near the base. Slender stems of lilac and pale lavender stock rise lightly through the arrangement, their many small blossoms adding an airy, vertical rhythm and evoking the faint, sweet, powdery fragrance you notice walking past cottage gardens around Old Ford. Surrounding foliage is abundant: dark green leaves frame the blooms, and soft, round eucalyptus leaves in silvery green weave through, bringing a cool tone and the suggestion of a clean, herbal scent. The stems are gathered neatly and bound at the bottom, showing that this is a freshly tied design, ready for local flower delivery in Old Ford, whether to celebrate a birthday, send congratulations, or offer calm, comforting beauty in difficult moments. The bouquet feels both contemporary and timeless, a carefully balanced blend of romantic colour and sculpted form.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
In this image, a full, rounded bouquet of white roses and lilac-tinted statice is showcased in a way that feels both refined and deeply calming, like a still moment in a bright Old Ford townhouse. At the centre, approximately a dozen creamy white roses form a lush, domed cluster, each flower carefully spaced so that its soft, velvety petals can be appreciated. Their colour sits gracefully between pure white and warm ivory, lending the arrangement a timeless, almost bridal elegance. Between the rose heads, delicate sprays of small lavender-purple statice flowers weave through the design, their many tiny blossoms creating a fine, cloud-like veil that softens the clean lines of the roses. This interplay of plush, rounded blooms and filigreed filler flowers adds visual depth and a gentle rhythm, inviting the eye to move across every detail. The bouquet is set in a tall, cylindrical glass vase, its clear sides revealing neatly aligned green stems immersed in fresh, clear water that sparkles where the light catches it. The vase rests on a smooth white surface, perhaps a kitchen island or office table in a converted warehouse near Victoria Park, reflecting the soft daylight that pours in from an unseen window. The background is intentionally blurred, keeping attention on the flowers while hinting at an airy, modern interior. The mood is serene and composed, making this arrangement ideal for marking thoughtful occasions-a quiet thank-you, a comforting sympathy gift, or a simple gesture to bring fresh, understated beauty into a local Old Ford home or studio.
PEARL MEMORIES
£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
A lush, meticulously arranged bouquet of fresh flowers glows at the centre of the image, set against a softly diffused white backdrop that feels like gentle daylight filtering through a window in an Old Ford townhouse. The composition is dominated by large gerbera daisies in intense shades of fuchsia and magenta, their dark, velvety centres drawing the eye and providing a dramatic focal point. Around them, intricate chrysanthemums in purple and white create a ring of texture; each multi-layered petal is edged in deep violet and fades toward a pale, creamy centre, highlighting bright yellow hearts that add a feeling of warmth and joy. Nestled between these bold blooms are creamy white spray roses, some fully open with curled outer petals, others still in bud, offering a sense of promise and quiet elegance. Fine sprays of white baby's breath are threaded throughout, tiny star-like blossoms that soften the strong colours and add a floating, almost ethereal quality. The flowers are gathered into a clear, slightly textured glass vase with a sturdy, jar-like shape, the stems neatly aligned in the clear water. Around the neck of the vase, a length of rustic twine is tied in a simple bow, from which hangs a small, white rectangular gift tag decorated with a pink rose motif and delicate script, hinting at a handwritten note for a birthday, anniversary, or a thoughtful "get well soon" delivery somewhere off Roman Road or near the green spaces by Victoria Park. The bright, clean background and natural light emphasise the bouquet's freshness and vivid colour contrast, making it perfect for illustrating same-day flower delivery in Old Ford, heartfelt presents, or elegant floral styling for the home.
PINK SWEETNESS
£55.00
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
This arrangement reads like a warm spring hello, carefully balanced between exuberance and intimacy. At its heart sit three fuchsia Gerbera daisies-wide-faced, vivid and confident-each with a dark brown centre that punctuates the pink with bold contrast. Encircling them are lavender-pink roses in a muted dusty-rose register; their petals are still gently furled, suggesting very recent picking and a tender, unfolding presence. Speckled throughout are clusters of purple statice that add a delicate, papery texture and a cool violet depth beside the roses' soft blush. Underpinning the blooms is generous, verdant foliage-likely salal or eucalyptus-whose broad leaves supply structure, a subtle citrus-green scent and a pleasing, garden-fresh backdrop. The bouquet is presented in a translucent, layered wrap: pale pink tissue forms the inner cradle while an outer sheet of slightly crinkled, sheer fuchsia-pink cellophane adds a touch of shimmer and cohesiveness to the pink palette. The wrapping is folded with practiced hands and the top rim of a clear glass vase is just visible below, signalling immediate display readiness. In a quiet room the colours seem to breathe positivity; the roses offer a soft perfume while the gerberas contribute a light, green sweetness. Whether chosen for a birthday, anniversary, or to lift someone's day, this hand-tied composition feels both celebratory and intimate, a gesture that travels well to homes around Victoria Park, Roman Road Market and the neighbouring streets of Old Ford.
SORBET
£49.00
A lush, rounded bouquet of mixed flowers is presented in a simple white square box, photographed against a spotless white backdrop so every colour and detail stands out clearly. The arrangement is densely packed, creating a satisfying, almost cushion-like dome of blooms that calls to mind a cheerful table centrepiece for a small gathering in an Old Ford flat overlooking the Regent's Canal. Golden yellow tones dominate the composition, with clusters of small, tightly budded yellow roses nestled beside generous yellow chrysanthemums whose soft, many-layered petals catch the light. These sunny flowers are gently cooled by a scattering of white daisy-style chrysanthemums with fresh green centres, as well as fuller white mums that lend volume and a sense of calm order to the design. Rich fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums run through the bouquet like a joyful thread, some petals tinged with lighter pink, adding depth and a playful edge to the colour palette. Little hints of pink and yellow rosebuds punctuate the arrangement, giving it a sense of movement and natural growth, as if it has just been gathered from a well-tended garden near Old Ford Road. Around and beneath the blooms, deep green, glossy foliage provides a strong, verdant backdrop that makes the brighter shades appear even more luminous. The sleek white box serves as a modern substitute for a traditional vase, its smooth faces and clean lines making the bouquet look gift-ready and easy to place on a desk, sideboard, or café counter. This vibrant yet affordable mix suits birthdays, get-well wishes, and everyday surprises across Old Ford, radiating friendliness and uncomplicated joy.
SPARKLING EYES
£50.00
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
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 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
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.
