RETIREMENT FLOWERS
The image shows a round, hand-tied bouquet resting against a pure white backdrop, its colours radiating warmth and optimism. Deep red roses, their petals tightly coiled and velvety, form the emotional heart of the design, immediately drawing the eye with their sense of romance and devotion. Wrapped around them is a halo of white daisy chrysanthemums, every bloom crisp and fresh, with striking lime-green centres that bring a contemporary, almost citrus brightness to the composition. Between the white flowers, numerous pink and rose-toned daisy blooms, again with distinct green centres, weave a soft ribbon of colour, creating a gentle transition from the intensity of the red roses to the purity of the white petals. Small sprays of pale pink waxflower are tucked in carefully, their tiny, cup-shaped blossoms and fine woody stems adding fragrance in the imagination and a lacy texture in the image, reminiscent of floral displays seen in windows along Wanstead High Street. The bouquet is supported by layers of rich green foliage, from broad, glossy leaves to lighter, more delicate greens that peek between the flowers, giving depth and structure. At the base, the green stems are neatly aligned and tied, clearly showing this is a hand-crafted, ready-to-gift design. The overall effect is cheerful yet refined, like a thoughtful surprise delivered to a home near George Green or a cosy flat off Cambridge Park. This bouquet is perfectly suited to express love, gratitude, friendship, or congratulations, making it a versatile choice for same-day flower delivery around Wanstead and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
A vibrant, meticulously hand-tied bouquet takes centre stage against a plain white background, its colours and textures unfolding like a carefully planned planting scheme in a Wanstead garden. The arrangement is full and rounded, every bloom intentionally placed so the eye moves effortlessly across the composition. Standing out immediately are the bi-colour roses, whose petals flow from a bright, sunny yellow in the centre to warm orange and soft, reddish-orange at the tips, creating a glowing focal point that radiates warmth. Encircling these roses are numerous white daisy-like chrysanthemums, their crisp petals arching out around vivid lime-green centres that add a cool, invigorating contrast to the bouquet. Between and behind these daisy faces, clusters of smaller, deeply saturated magenta or fuchsia chrysanthemums nestle closely together, their many layered petals forming soft mounds of intense colour, like the rich borders you might see along mature flower beds near Wanstead Park. Each of these smaller blooms features a yellow-green centre, echoing the daisy eyes and tying the palette together. Deep green foliage, reminiscent of glossy ruscus leaves, emerges from between the flowers and along the sides, framing the display and giving it a fresh, garden-inspired character. The stems at the base are neatly bound and evenly trimmed, visible where they rest against the white surface, conveying the sense of a freshly prepared bouquet ready for same-day delivery around Wanstead, Aldersbrook, or Snaresbrook. The overall mood is one of joyful sophistication-ideal for marking new beginnings, expressing heartfelt thanks, or simply brightening a living room with a burst of colour and life.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
Evoking the cheerful leisure of a stroll through Christ Church Green, this lavish floral arrangement brings together peach and orange roses in all their lush glory, their curled petals glowing in a palette of warmth and softly gradated hues. Around them, white daisy-like chrysanthemums with green centers offer pure, fresh contrast, while densely petaled magenta chrysanthemums add bold splashes of color and depth. Rich dark greenery, likely glossy ruscus or similar leaves, surrounds each bloom, creating a full-bodied, verdant cushion. Overhead, a slender strand of vivid bear grass arcs gracefully, imparting a sense of lightness and sophistication. The entire bouquet is wrapped at its base in lively orange cellophane, the colour echoing local festival tones and hinting at gift-giving or joyful occasions. Every detail - from rippling petals to the interplay of crisp whites and rich purples - speaks to skilled hands and local knowledge, making this a stand-out choice for birthdays, congratulations, or spontaneous kind gestures in Wanstead. With fresh local delivery and mindful craftsmanship from Florist Wanstead, this is more than a bouquet; it's a vibrant expression of community and care.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
Set against a crisp white background, this chrysanthemum bouquet appears almost luminescent, its whites and greens arranged with quiet precision. The shape is softly rounded, a generous armful of flowers gathered so closely that the petals overlap like folds of fine fabric. Large chrysanthemum heads in white and creamy tones make up the heart of the design, their multiple rows of slender petals flaring out from pale green and soft yellow centres. These give the bouquet its sense of fullness and traditional charm. Threaded among them are sprays of smaller white chrysanthemums, reminiscent of daisies, their clustered blooms adding a gentle, informal feel, as if they might have been freshly gathered from a garden near Wanstead Park. Vivid lime green pompon chrysanthemums punctuate the composition at regular intervals, each button-like sphere made of tightly packed petals that feel almost velvety to the eye. Their bright colour injects a playful, contemporary twist into the otherwise tranquil palette, echoing the fresh greens of the trees lining Hermon Hill in early spring. Hints of deep green foliage break through near the base, giving structure and anchoring the lighter tones above. The stems are brought together neatly and wrapped in a wide, satin-finish ribbon in matching lime green, tied into a generous bow whose loops mirror the rounded shapes of the chrysanthemum heads. The bouquet conveys a sense of purity, renewal, and gentle celebration, well suited for marking new beginnings, thanking a kind neighbour, or offering soft-spoken support to someone in Wanstead in need of comfort and a touch of nature indoors.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
Captured against a pure white studio background, this hand-tied bouquet appears freshly made, as if it has just left the experienced hands of a Wanstead florist near George Green. At the heart of the design are several creamy white roses with a suggestion of pale lemon at their centres, the petals layered in soft spirals that exude timeless grace and a soothing, almost nostalgic charm. Encircling these roses, rich fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums form a lively ring of colour, each daisy-like head radiating around a yellow-lime centre that glows warmly, reminiscent of the cheerful atmosphere of the local Saturday market. Interwoven among the larger blooms are slender stems of tiny white daisies, similar to chamomile, their minuscule golden-yellow centres and fine petals sprinkling the bouquet with light, airy texture and a touch of countryside freshness. Tucked between these are smaller chrysanthemum buds and partially opened flowers in deeper purple-pink hues, adding dimensionality and a sense of unfolding life. A base of vibrant green foliage surrounds and supports the blossoms, the differing leaf shapes and tones providing contrast and a natural frame, as if the bouquet were gathered from a well-tended garden not far from Wanstead Flats. The stems are drawn together at the bottom in a clean bundle, wrapped with a green and white checkered ribbon tied snugly to secure the arrangement while leaving the cut ends visible. Gentle, even lighting defines the contours of each petal and leaf, creating delicate shadows that emphasise the bouquet's rounded form and fullness. This arrangement feels bright yet refined, ideal for marking a special occasion, celebrating a new home, or simply bringing a splash of floral joy to a Wanstead living room through local flower delivery.
LOVELY DREAMER
£50.00
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A generous hydrangea bouquet, hand-tied and artfully balanced, is shown against a crisp white background that makes its cool colours and rich textures sing. At the centre of the display lies a plush mound of creamy white hydrangea, its countless tiny petals pressed tightly together, creating a soft, billowy focal point reminiscent of slow-moving clouds drifting above Wanstead's tree-lined avenues. Encircling this central bloom are several rounded heads of sky-blue and lime-green hydrangeas, the shades shifting delicately from petal to petal. The blue clusters sit towards the upper edges of the bouquet, offering a serene, tranquil feel, while the lime-green hydrangeas nestle near the lower portion and side, adding a crisp, invigorating lift that calls to mind the first leaves unfurling in Wanstead Park each spring. Threaded throughout the arrangement is a generous mix of foliage. Eucalyptus stems, with their distinctive silvery-green, rounded leaves, weave through the hydrangeas, adding a modern, airy touch and suggesting a light, refreshing scent. Deeper green leaves, some glossy and softly pointed, others broader and more structural, build a dense, supportive framework that makes the pastel colours appear even more luminous. The stems of both flowers and greenery are left visible at the base, neatly gathered and tied to form a classic hand-tied design ready for a glass vase on a Wanstead kitchen table or beside a sunny living-room window. The overall mood of the bouquet is soothing yet uplifting, ideal for a thoughtful birthday surprise delivered locally, a calm, elegant addition to a home office with views towards Wanstead Flats, or a graceful gesture of appreciation to someone special in E11.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
In this photograph, a colourful bouquet of fresh flowers stands against a bright white backdrop, the simplicity of the setting enhancing the intricate beauty of the arrangement itself. At its heart, several pink roses open fully, their petals silky and finely layered, forming gentle spirals that give the bouquet a romantic, timeless quality. These are framed and brightened by clear yellow gerbera daisies, each bloom with a strong dark brown centre that draws the eye and adds graphic definition, like small bursts of sunshine. Above and slightly behind, tall blue delphinium stems rise, each stem lined with multiple blossoms that bring depth, cool blue tones, and an elegant, upward rhythm reminiscent of the tall trees edging Wanstead Flats. Surrounding the main flowers, a generous mix of greenery creates a lush backdrop: delicate fern fronds spill softly from the outer edges, giving a feathery lightness, while wide, glossy tropical-style leaves, some with subtle pale green striping, are wrapped around the lower portion of the bouquet in a curved sweep that feels both modern and organic. Between the feature blooms, clusters of bright green textured filler foliage add volume and a slightly cushion-like texture, evoking the dense planting of local gardens around Wanstead High Street. Fine, slender stems with tiny green buds emerge here and there, adding height and a sense of ongoing growth. The gathered stems are neatly tied near the base with a natural-looking binding, their ends cleanly cut and visible below. Crafted with the eye of an experienced florist familiar with Wanstead's love of fresh, contemporary designs, this bouquet radiates joy and gratitude, perfect for celebrations, new beginnings, or sending thoughtful wishes across E11.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
Against a clean white backdrop, this hand-tied bouquet appears almost painterly, as though arranged under soft natural light in a Wanstead studio. The heart of the design is made up of generous garden roses in muted pinks and mauves, from soft blush to deeper dusty rose, each flower opening in tight, spiralling layers that feel both romantic and refined. Surrounding these are plush carnations with beautifully ruffled petals, their colour gently transitioning from creamy beige and pale blush at the centre to more pronounced rose and fuchsia tones at the edges, adding a sense of movement and tactile richness. Threaded among the warmer shades are pockets of intense cool colour: deep indigo and royal blue blooms, some still in slender tulip-like buds and one open anemone with a dark, near-black centre positioned towards the front, create dramatic contrast much like shadows at dusk over nearby Wanstead Flats. Adding height and airiness, soft stems of lilac and pale lavender stock rise through the arrangement, dotted with many tiny blossoms that suggest a light, sweet perfume. The bouquet is wrapped in a collar of foliage, with dark glossy leaves mingling with rounded, silvery eucalyptus that introduces a fresh, slightly herbal note. Visible at the bottom, the neatly tied stems reveal its hand-crafted nature, ready to be carried out of a local shop on Wanstead High Street or delivered as a surprise to a home near Christchurch Green. The overall feeling is calm and uplifting, suitable for marking a special birthday, offering congratulations, or bringing comfort and beauty into someone's living room.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
As I arrange these flowers in my Wanstead shop, I am drawn to the delicate interplay between creamy blush gerberas and classic pink roses, their petals blending like brushstrokes of morning light over George Green. The bouquet feels luminous and optimistic, with soft pinks melting into one another, while accents of deep purple statice bring spirited contrast reminiscent of blooms seen at the local Saturday market. Cool, dewy green leaves nestle beneath the blooms, providing a grounding sense of freshness-much like the air drifting through Christchurch Green. The composition is light and uplifting, glowing softly in its clear glass vase, which captures the ambient Wanstead sunlight. Perfect as a cheerful get-well gift, a bright statement in an airy living room, or a loving gesture to a friend, this arrangement embodies the careful craftsmanship and joy that define Wanstead floristry. Every detail is chosen to evoke warmth, beauty, and the welcoming community spirit of the area.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
This image captures a sophisticated, garden-style bouquet in a palette of pink, mauve, lilac, and verdant green, set against a clean white background that lets every flower and leaf stand out. Soft pastel roses sit at the core of the arrangement, some still tightly wrapped and others beginning to open, revealing their layered petals that gently gradate from a deeper rosy centre to paler, almost cream edges. Encircling them, generously ruffled carnations in dusty blush and muted mauve contribute a plush, romantic texture, allowing the bouquet to feel both abundant and airy. Piercing through the softer shapes are slender spires of deep blue-violet Veronica, whose elongated flowers lend vertical movement and a slightly untamed rhythm that contrasts beautifully with the rounder blooms. Woven between are velvety purple lisianthus flowers and buds, their bell-shaped silhouettes introducing a deeper, more saturated tone that enhances the overall colour harmony. Tiny, star-like aster-type blossoms in lavender and periwinkle are threaded throughout, each with a pale yellow eye that gives the impression of gentle light dancing across the bouquet, much like the shifting sunlight through the trees on Christchurch Green in Wanstead. Surrounding the flowers is an abundant collar of foliage: silvery eucalyptus leaves, softer green sprigs, and pockets of vivid chartreuse filler provide structural support and an invigorating splash of brightness. The stems at the base are neatly gathered and cut, clearly hand-tied, ready to be slipped into a clear glass vase in a Wanstead home or office. The bouquet as a whole radiates a calm but joyful atmosphere, suited to thoughtful gifts-from birthdays and new baby celebrations to quiet moments of appreciation-delivered throughout Wanstead, Snaresbrook, and nearby neighbourhoods.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
Basking in the light that streams over Wanstead Park, this exuberant floral arrangement combines the warmth of golden sunflowers and the classic allure of yellow garden roses. The sunflowers stand proudly, their bold brown centres and radiant petals capturing the essence of a high summer day. Spirals of garden rose petals, soft and buttery, are intricately packed, offering a sense of gentle luxury beside clusters of scarlet hypericum berries-their glossy surfaces dotting the bouquet with sprightly energy. Feathery fern fronds and delicate falls of green fillers thread through the arrangement, echoing the wild, natural borders of Epping Forest. Bluish eucalyptus leaves emerge from the greenery, cool and aromatic, rounding out the bouquet's palette and scent. Housed in a transparent, curved glass vase reminiscent of modern East London style, the stems are framed by glimmering water, providing a striking foundation. This is a bouquet for celebration-ideal for birthdays, get-togethers in Wanstead's thriving cafes, or simply sending a bright gesture of care and togetherness across E11. Crafted with the finesse and heart of a local florist, every detail offers an invitation to enjoy nature's abundance right at home.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
Lively and uplifting, this hand-tied bouquet of Gerbera daisies-gathered in the heart of Wanstead-radiates a festive mood that brightens any space. Arrayed in an immaculate glass vase, the bouquet features a vibrant symphony of sunny yellow, bold orange, and deep magenta blooms, each Gerbera's soft petals offset by a dusky, almost black centre. The expertly placed green foliage adds depth and a leafy richness, reminiscent of the lush groves near George Green. Kraft paper wraps the upper edge of the bouquet in gentle, textured folds, delivering an earthy warmth that pairs well with Wanstead's community charm, while a clear, crinkled cellophane layer cocoons the flowers, ensuring peak freshness for same-day delivery throughout E11. Stems are clearly visible in the transparent vase, their green tones intensified beneath the water's shimmering surface. A band of natural twine, knotted with care, anchors a simple white rectangle tag adorned with a modern rose motif and faint handwritten text-a subtle nod to the personal touch of Wanstead's florists. The scene is bathed in creamy, soft light that seems to extend the cheer and energy of the bouquet throughout the room. This image conjures the emotion of special occasions, thoughtful gestures, and the unmistakable joy of a professionally arranged gift gracing a front table in Wanstead.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
As a florist immersed in Wanstead's community, I've woven together colour, scent, and texture to evoke the area's vibrancy. Here, a radiant hand-tied bouquet unfurls in corals, peach, salmon pink and subtle gold, set against a clean white background that lets the hues glow like a late afternoon over Christchurch Green. Each rose is a study in gradients: velvety petals spiral outward from buttery centers to rose-tinted edges, echoing the gentle transition from forest sunlight to open air. The lush foliage-likely a mix of eucalyptus and salal-frames the blossoms with deep green, enhancing their warmth without diminishing their intensity. Alongside this vibrant celebration, a Thorntons Orange Crisp pouch sits in quiet companionship, elegantly packaged with its logo and drawn chocolates catching soft reflected light. Adjacent to the pouch, two round truffles gleam, their smooth milk chocolate coating an invitation to indulge. The arrangement radiates comfort and cheer, conjuring memories of family gatherings, weekend picnics on Wanstead Flats, or coffee at a favorite High Street spot. This pairing is ideal for anniversaries, birthdays, or as a special treat from [COMPANY], combining the joy of fresh flowers with the simple decadence of fine chocolate-an expression of care that is distinctly Wanstead.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
Resting effortlessly against a pristine white canvas, this hand-crafted bouquet from Wanstead dazzles with harmony and boldness. The eye is first drawn to the magnificent hydrangeas, each sphere-full petal painted in rich indigo and tranquil teal-a vivid echo of the natural beauty found at Eagle Pond. Amidst these luxuriant blooms, lilac roses and creamy ivory buds gently unfurl, their layers revealing fragrance and delicate grace. Plush ranunculus in soft white nestle between the roses, lending a frosty, textural charm that harmonises the palette. Lisianthus buds and blossoms, pale yellow and luminous, peek through, infusing the arrangement with gentle brightness and hope. Livelier notes emerge as sprays of fuchsia-pink flowers interlace the main stems, while wispy pink astilbe surrounds the bouquet with an airy, romantic halo. Feathery green-and-white filler flowers, perhaps reminiscent of wild Queen Anne's Lace seen growing near Christchurch Green, both soften and enrich the design. The full bouquet is balanced with fresh, glossy foliage, providing a lush, supportive base. Everything is gathered and secured with a wide, satin-finished royal purple ribbon-a perfect finishing touch that reflects both occasion and Wanstead sophistication. Crafted with expertise for every celebration, this bouquet communicates joy, love, and the local spirit, making it ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, or brightening someone's day in Wanstead and beyond.
