RETIREMENT FLOWERS
Set against a bright white background, this rounded hand-tied bouquet looks as though it has just been placed on a florist's bench in Spitalfields, brimming with fresh energy and heartfelt intention. Two luxurious, deeply red roses sit proudly at the centre, their petals tightly coiled and velvety, instantly suggesting romance, admiration, and devotion. Surrounding them, a collar of white spray chrysanthemums opens like a halo, each daisy-like flower crisp and clean with a striking lime-green centre that catches the light, reminiscent of the lively greenery around nearby Spitalfields gardens and hidden courtyards. Interspersed between the white daisies are many pink chrysanthemums, ranging from gentle blush to a more confident medium pink, all sharing those vivid green centres that tie the colour palette together. Fine sprays of pale pink waxflower curl through the spaces, their tiny cup-shaped blooms and delicate buds lending a soft, misty texture that makes the bouquet feel airy rather than heavy. Deep, glossy green leaves and lighter foliage provide a supportive cradle, making the reds, whites, and pinks appear even more vibrant. The stems are neatly aligned, bound tightly and trimmed short, creating a tidy base that shows this is a professionally crafted, ready-to-vase gift. The mood is uplifting and soothing at the same time, perfect for a birthday breakfast near Liverpool Street, an anniversary surprise in a Spitalfields loft, or a simple "thinking of you" delivered to an office along Commercial Street, filling the room with a sense of calm celebration and genuine care.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
Set against a pure white background, a hand-tied mixed bouquet appears almost to float in the frame, its dense, rounded form echoing the bustling energy of Spitalfields' flower and produce stalls. The focal blooms are several luxuriant bi-colour roses, fully open and velvety, with petals that start as a glowing golden yellow at the centre and gradually deepen into warm orange and subtle reddish-orange along the edges, imparting a feeling of warmth and comfort. Scattered throughout are pristine white daisy-like chrysanthemums, each bloom clearly defined, with fine petals encircling a bright lime-green eye that gives the whole design a fresh, contemporary twist. Interwoven with these lighter flowers are rich magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, their dense, multi-layered petals forming rounded, cushiony heads with small yellow-green centres that mirror the daisy cores. These jewel-toned accents bring depth and drama, much like a splash of colour against the brickwork around nearby Shoreditch High Street. Deep, glossy green foliage, similar to ruscus, can be seen between the blossoms, offering a verdant backdrop that enhances both the structure and the intensity of the colours. At the bottom, a tidy cluster of stems, cut evenly and bound together, is visible, indicating a professionally crafted, fresh bouquet ready for a vase in a Spitalfields home or studio. The overall impression is one of joyful abundance and carefully balanced texture, making this arrangement perfect for marking special occasions, from birthdays and anniversaries to celebrating new beginnings in the lively East London neighbourhood.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
Beneath soft daylight, this expressive bouquet is a symphony of color, texture, and jubilance-much like the lively tapestry of Spitalfields itself. Spiraled peach-orange roses, velvety and radiant, form the bouquet's heart; their subtle color variations hint at the vibrant fusion of old and new that defines this East London neighborhood. Cheerful chrysanthemums cluster playfully between, their white petals and lively green centers conjuring images of nearby pocket parks, while their magenta siblings offer dramatic contrast and visual rhythm. Glossy dark green leaves nestle each blossom, their verdant hues reinforcing an impression of generous abundance and connection to the urban landscape. A slender arch of bright green decorative grass floats overhead, providing both movement and a contemporary design twist, as if echoing the swirl of Spitalfields Market on a Sunday. All is theatrically presented in brilliant orange crinkled wrapping-a nod to the area's knack for bold, creative flourishes. Whether presented as a birthday bouquet, thank-you gesture, or a spontaneous gift just because, this arrangement radiates local flair, craftsmanship, and the energy of Spitalfields Florist.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
Set against a bright, uncluttered white background, this chrysanthemum bouquet feels like a breath of fresh air drifting in from the open spaces around Spitalfields, its colours cool and reassuring. At the centre of the arrangement, large white and creamy-yellow chrysanthemums unfurl multiple layers of delicate petals, each bloom rounded and generous, with soft green or pale lemon centres adding quiet depth. Their abundance creates a plush, traditional feel, as if drawn from a well-tended English cutting garden. Weaving between these larger heads, sprays of daisy-like white chrysanthemums bring a lighter, more playful rhythm to the bouquet. Their smaller, star-shaped petals and neat green eyes catch the light and fill the spaces between the more substantial blooms, ensuring a seamless, full silhouette. Scattered throughout, lime green pompon chrysanthemums form neat, compact spheres, their tightly packed petals giving a velvety, tactile texture that stands out against the smooth openness of the larger flowers. The vivid lime green introduces a modern edge, reminiscent of the creative, energetic atmosphere along Brushfield Street and the surrounding lanes. Deep green foliage is carefully positioned among the blossoms, adding depth and structure without breaking the calm colour story of white and green. At the base, the stems are neatly trimmed and gathered, then bound with a broad lime green satin ribbon tied into an elegant bow with multiple loops that echo the roundness of the pompon blooms. The bouquet radiates a feeling of purity, hope, and gentle optimism, well suited for occasions such as welcoming a new baby, offering get-well wishes, or sending a thoughtful, understated sympathy gift to someone in the Spitalfields or City area.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
Set against a clean white background, this bouquet appears almost suspended in light, its colours and textures clearly defined in a way that echoes the mix of modern design and historic charm around Spitalfields Market. At the heart of the arrangement, several full, creamy white roses tinged with pale yellow open luxuriously, their spiralled petals soft and velvety, giving the design a calm, elegant anchor. Around them, clusters of bold chrysanthemum blooms in vivid fuchsia and magenta provide a striking contrast; each daisy-like head is crowned with a luminous yellow-green centre that brings a sense of sunshine and cheer. Interspersed between these larger blooms are fine sprays of small white daisies, reminiscent of chamomile or feverfew, each with a miniature golden centre that adds lightness and a gentle, countryside charm. Here and there, smaller, darker purple-pink chrysanthemum buds emerge, like notes of deeper colour that add richness and depth to the overall look. The bouquet is framed by lush green foliage, the different leaf shapes and tones offering a natural, grounding backdrop that enhances the vibrancy of the flowers. The stems are gathered together neatly at the base and tied with a green and white checked ribbon, lending a hint of rustic detail that could feel at home on a Spitalfields kitchen table or studio desk. Soft, even lighting reveals every detail of petal and leaf, without harsh shadows, so the arrangement appears freshly prepared and full of life. The bouquet conveys an uplifting, celebratory mood, suitable for birthdays, thank-you gestures, or just-because deliveries throughout Spitalfields and the surrounding City streets.
LOVELY DREAMER
£50.00
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A sophisticated hydrangea bouquet is shown in close detail, arranged in a perfect, rounded form and set against a clean white background that recalls the bright, minimalist interiors often found in converted Spitalfields warehouses. At the very centre, a generous head of creamy white hydrangeas creates a cloud-like focal point, with myriad tiny florets forming a dense, plush surface that seems almost touchably soft. Framing this central bloom are multiple hydrangea heads in soft sky-blue and zesty lime-green, the colours shifting gently from petal to petal, like the changeable London sky over Commercial Street on a clear day. The blue blooms sit mostly towards the top and sides of the design, lending a serene, airy quality, while the lime-green clusters are nestled near the lower portions, bringing a vivid, fresh energy that suggests young leaves and new beginnings. Interspersed through the hydrangeas is a generous selection of foliage: silvery-green eucalyptus with its rounded leaves adds a cool, contemporary highlight, while darker, glossier green leaves weave between the blooms, creating depth and giving the bouquet a lush, full appearance. The natural stems are clearly visible at the base, gathered tightly together in a classic hand-tied style, as though just finished by a florist preparing same-day delivery to a flat overlooking Spitalfields or a creative studio in nearby Shoreditch. Soft, even lighting illuminates the petals, revealing faint veining and subtle gradations of colour without harsh shadows. The bouquet feels both modern and timeless, ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, intimate weddings, or simply for bringing an oasis of calm into a busy city home or office near Liverpool Street station.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
Set against a clean, white background, this hand-tied bouquet appears as a bright, sculpted composition, echoing the creative energy of Spitalfields. At its core, several blush-pink roses unfurl in soft spirals, their velvety petals layered and full, suggesting affection and quiet elegance. Surrounding them, sunny yellow gerbera daisies with dark chocolate centres introduce a playful, optimistic note, akin to the cheerful bustle of market days near Liverpool Street. From within the heart of the bouquet, tall blue delphinium stems rise in graceful spikes, each lined with many small florets, bringing depth, height, and a cool, calming contrast to the warmer hues. The entire arrangement is cradled in abundant foliage: fine, fern-like fronds emerge at the edges to soften the outline, while dense, bright green clusters of textured filler blooms fill gaps and lend a lush, garden-like richness. Around the lower section of the flower heads, broad, glossy tropical-style leaves, some feathered with subtle lighter stripes, are wrapped around in smooth curves, forming a distinctive green collar that frames the colourful blooms. Above the main flowers, slim, upright stems with tiny buds add an airy, just-picked-from-the-garden feeling, as though the bouquet has been freshly gathered from a hidden courtyard off Commercial Street. The visible stems are neatly aligned and secured with a light, natural-looking wrap and tidy bow. Overall, this colourful mix of pink, yellow, blue, and green conveys joy and celebration, making it an ideal floral gift image for birthdays, thank-yous, or everyday flower delivery across Spitalfields and the surrounding East London neighbourhoods.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
This hand-tied bouquet feels like a painter's study in soft light and rich pigment, shown against a crisp white backdrop that lets every detail breathe, much like peering into a flower stall on a calm morning near Old Spitalfields Market. At the centre, old-fashioned garden roses open in blush and muted dusty mauve tones, their many petals swirling in a classic spiral that speaks of romance and gentle nostalgia. Around them, generous carnations ruffle outward, each petal brushed with colour that shifts from creamy, pale pink at the base to deeper rose and berry hues along the edges, creating a sense of depth and movement. Threaded among the roses and carnations are bold accents of deep indigo and royal blue flowers, some still in sleek, bud-like form, adding a cool contrast that keeps the bouquet quietly dramatic. A single open royal blue anemone with a near-black centre sits prominently near the front, its velvety petals drawing the eye like a focal point in a painting. Fine stems of lilac and pale lavender stock rise here and there, topped with clusters of tiny blooms that offer an airy counterpoint to the more substantial petals and hint at a light, clove-like scent. Lush greenery surrounds everything, including silvery round eucalyptus leaves and darker, more traditional foliage, framing the flowers with a fresh, natural outline. The stems are visibly bound at the base in a neat hand-tied finish, ready to slip into a vase in a Spitalfields townhouse or an office off Bishopsgate. With its blend of soft pinks, dusky mauve, tranquil purples and intense blues, the bouquet feels ideal for marking birthdays, anniversaries, congratulations or sending reassurance and comfort across the city.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
While arranging these flowers just steps from the iconic Spitalfields Market, I am drawn to the gentle interplay between blush gerberas and refined pink roses, each bloom arranged to mirror the vibrancy of our local community. The palette flows seamlessly from soft pastel pinks to lively shots of deep violet statice, creating visual punctuation and artistic contrast reminiscent of Spitalfields' creative energy. Verdant, fresh leaves offer a cooling base, echoing the natural calm found in autumn strolls through Christ Church gardens. Presented in a slender glass vase, every stem glimmers beneath soft daylight, reflecting a subtle warmth and inviting the viewer to appreciate the bouquet's detail. This arrangement is designed for both sentimental gestures-such as a cheerful get-well wish for residents near Brick Lane-and as a stylish addition to modern Spitalfields flats. The bouquet is a tangible expression of the skill and passion found at every step of its creation, embodying careful selection, local pride, and a spirit of optimism unique to Spitalfields.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
Photographed from a slightly elevated angle against a clean white background, this bouquet appears as a rounded, abundant dome of pink, purple, and green, artfully composed as though just finished in a Spitalfields studio. At its heart, soft pastel roses in blush and dusty pink tones bloom at different stages: some remain tight and cup-shaped, while others unfurl into delicate rosettes, their layered petals catching the light like folded satin. Nestling alongside are generous carnations in muted mauve and dusky rose, each composed of countless frilled petals, creating a plush, textured surface that invites you to imagine its velvety touch. Rising in slender lines through the softer shapes, deep indigo and violet-blue Veronica stems add elegant height, their tapered spikes introducing a gentle sense of movement that recalls wildflowers growing along the edges of East London's green spaces. Threaded through the main blooms, tiny aster-like flowers in pale lavender and periwinkle float like confetti, their yellow centres bringing a subtle warmth to the cool purples. Deep purple lisianthus blooms and buds are tucked among the roses, adding a rich, romantic note, as if quietly anchoring the arrangement's colour story. All of this colour and texture rests on a bed of foliage: vivid chartreuse fillers, fresh mid-green leaves, and silvery eucalyptus branches mingle to form a lush, structured base. The stems are neatly bound at the base, cut evenly in a way that clearly shows a skilled hand-tied technique, ready for a vase in a Spitalfields apartment or office close to Liverpool Street. This arrangement feels like a contemporary yet tender bouquet, suited to celebrating personal milestones, offering congratulations, or sending a thoughtful gesture across E1 with a same-day flower delivery.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
Picture the early morning light filtering over Spitalfields' historic stalls-a scene mirrored in this vibrant bouquet where bold sunflowers command attention, their sunny yellow faces and chocolatey centres radiating optimism. Hugging close, buttery rose rosettes spiral outward, every petal plush and inviting, recalling the enticing displays found along Commercial Street. Punctuating the arrangement, vivid red Hypericum berries glint like treasures discovered at a bustling market stand, their smooth skins nestled among feathery ferns and leafy greens. Delicate goldenrod adds texture, while hints of bluish eucalyptus send a refreshing note through the palette. The arrangement sits in a crystal-clear spherical glass vase, water magnifying the tangle of fresh stems below-a symbol of Spitalfields' blend of tradition and modern flair. Whether destined for a birthday celebration or to sparkle in a creative workspace, this bouquet's gentle fragrance and spirited composition reflect the neighbourhood's welcoming energy. It is a tribute to the pulse of East London, crafted with skill and imagination by Spitalfields Florist.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
Bursting with colour and crafted with the flair distinctive of Spitalfields Florist, this lively Gerbera daisy bouquet embodies the energy and eclectic appeal of Flower Market mornings on Commercial Street. Sun-bright yellow, vibrant orange, and lush fuchsia petals radiate with intensity from their dark, velvety centers, each blossom thoughtfully placed to balance exuberance and elegance. Wisps of glossy green foliage are interspersed throughout, creating visual richness and echoing the greenery of nearby Weavers Fields. The arrangement is cocooned in layered brown kraft paper and cellophane, the textures reminiscent of artisanal wrappings found among the markets of East London. The flowers rest in a clear, elegantly simple glass vase-its transparency showcasing the sturdy green stems as they fan outward into the water, promising freshness for days to come. A soft twine bow secures the bouquet, from which hangs a clean white tag adorned with a delicate red rose motif and partially visible script, offering a bespoke touch for any occasion. This scene, bathed in gentle daylight, highlights the bouquet's lush forms and vibrant hues, magical for birthday surprises, housewarming gifts, or simply to anchor a contemporary loft near Spitalfields Market. The warmth of the flowers and composition tells a story of local craftsmanship and heartfelt intent, making it an ideal visual for anyone seeking to brighten an East London home with natural beauty.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
As a local Spitalfields florist, this radiant bouquet expresses not just colour and form, but also the spirited creativity of our neighbourhood. A stunning fusion of open roses-coral, peach, salmon, and deep pink-create a lush display that almost pulses with life, recalling the energy of nearby artists' studios and Sunday market mornings. The blooms reveal striking bicolour transitions: creamy yellows at their cores, deepening seamlessly to vibrant pink edges, while velvet-textured petals invite touch as well as admiration. The glossy, dark green foliage that weaves throughout adds freshness and a jewel-like frame, balancing the bouquet just as Brick Lane's greenery contrasts the area's historic brickwork. Gracefully positioned beside the roses sits a Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolate pouch, its pale wrapper and bold logo promising a treat every bit as memorable as the flowers. Two chocolate truffles, their milk chocolate shells shining softly under the light, rest in front, conjuring the anticipation of sharing a delicious moment. The bouquet's stems, elegantly gathered, hint at the attentive craftsmanship and lively hospitality that define Spitalfields Florist. This thoughtful pairing of artisanal florals and gourmet chocolate suits so many occasions-from marking a creative achievement to celebrating love or friendship, always ready to surprise and delight others across E1 or after an afternoon spent exploring the Old Spitalfields Market.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
This arrangement from Spitalfields Florist reflects the lively tapestry of Shoreditch and the creative energy of the markets surrounding Brushfield Street. Bold, cushiony hydrangeas anchor the bouquet in deep shades of indigo, teal, and purple-rich tones that catch the eye, much like the mural art dotting Spitalfields' streets. Nestled amongst these lush blooms are exquisite roses, some in classic creamy white and others tinged with soft lavender, their petals gently unfurling to reveal a romantic core. Between each, snowy white ranunculus cluster tightly, their many-layered texture evoking early-morning freshness and tactile delight. Lisianthus and eustoma stems emerge in delicate yellow and cool green, bringing brightness and light movement throughout. Fuchsia-pink filler flowers are scattered as vibrant tidbits, adding vivid pops against the cooler hues, while feathery pale pink astilbe breaks the outline with a touch of airy Bohemian charm. Intricate filigrees of lacy, light green Ammi Majus thread through the bouquet, echoing the wild green pockets tucked between Spitalfields warehouses. A base of deep, fresh green foliage ties it all together, and a plush royal purple satin ribbon secures the stems, reflecting elegance and craft. Designed for special celebrations or as striking gifts for loved ones in Spitalfields and beyond, this bouquet is a sensory journey through colour, texture, and joyful local character.
