This hand-tied bouquet, set against a clean white backdrop, feels like a pause in the bustle of Islington, a moment of softness captured in flowers. At its heart, generous garden roses bloom in blush, dusty pink, and muted mauve, their layered petals spiralling outwards in full, rounded shapes that instantly read as romantic and refined. Threaded between them, ruffled carnations display a subtle ombré, shading from creamy ivory and soft shell pink at the centre to deeper rose and plum-pink at the edges, adding both volume and a gentle, fluttering texture. Deep indigo-blue accents-some in tight, tulip-like buds, others opening in velvety petals-bring a jewel-like contrast, while one prominent royal blue anemone with a nearly black centre anchors the design near the front. Slender stems of pale lavender and lilac stock rise among the larger blooms, their small clustered flowers creating vertical movement and lending the sense of a light, powdery fragrance. The whole bouquet is cradled in lush foliage: deep green leaves and rounded, silvery eucalyptus that introduce cool tones and a faintly herbal, calming scent, like breathing in the greenery of a hidden courtyard off Essex Road. The stems are bound at the bottom and left visible, a clear sign of a freshly crafted design prepared for same-day delivery around Islington. With its blend of soothing and dramatic colours, this bouquet would be perfectly at home on a dining table near Angel, as an anniversary gift in De Beauvoir, or as a heartfelt thank-you sent to a studio flat close to Highbury Fields.

A generous dome of flowers in sunshine yellow, creamy white, and fresh green sits neatly gathered in a clear square glass vase, photographed against a seamless white backdrop. Large yellow roses dominate the composition, their petals layered in soft spirals from tight centres to gently cupped edges, some open and inviting, others just beginning to unfurl. Weaving around them are smaller yellow spray roses, their clusters of petite blooms adding texture and a sense of abundance. White pompom chrysanthemums are tucked throughout, each bloom forming a dense, rounded cushion that gives the design a plush, tactile quality. Lively lime green button chrysanthemums introduce playful focal points, their compact, globe-shaped heads contrasting with the more open roses, while larger, frilled pale green flowers-comparable to frilly green carnations or ruffled mums-add depth and a modern touch of colour. The whole bouquet is supported by lush foliage: broad variegated leaves edged in near-white, deep-green leaves that ground the palette, and slender dark-green filler stems that trace fine lines between the larger forms. Scattered delicately are tiny white, star-shaped filler flowers that lend an airy, almost sparkling finish. The stems, clearly visible through the glass, converge in a vase encircled at the middle with a rustic band resembling woven jute or bark, topped by a bright lime ribbon that mirrors the green accents in the flowers. The arrangement feels joyful yet composed, much like a calm afternoon wandering through the residential streets off Holloway Road or near Canonbury. Perfect for sending well wishes, celebrating milestones, or bringing a splash of spring brightness to an Islington office or townhouse, the bouquet carries an uplifting, welcoming spirit.

This sumptuous bouquet is a testament to Islington floristry-a hand-tied floral arrangement teeming with depth, nuance, and poetic detail. Dramatic indigo and teal hydrangeas cluster at the heart, their fullness and rich tone immediately drawing the eye, much like a vibrant display outside the boutiques of Camden Passage. Nestled among them, lavender and white roses unfold, each delicately layered petal infusing a sense of calm and refinement. Fluffy white ranunculus add plush texture and gentle movement, balancing the bouquet's structure. Pale yellow lisianthus buds peek through, their slender forms and soft hues bringing a sunlit warmth reminiscent of early afternoons in Canonbury's hidden gardens. Sprays of bright fuchsia filler flowers, complemented by wispy pink astilbe, provide energy and airy, whimsical borders. Light-laced green and white filigree filler flowers create intricate detail, reminiscent of local wildflowers glimpsed along Regent's Canal. Enveloping the bouquet, deep green foliage offers restful balance and highlights every colourful flourish. Finished with a broad, lustrous royal purple ribbon around the stems, the arrangement is at once classic and contemporary. Ideal as a striking centrepiece or thoughtful gift, this bouquet celebrates life's special moments with the distinctive style of Islington's floral experts.

A refined bouquet of mixed white and pink flowers is captured against a pure white background, as if standing on a light-filled counter in an Islington florist's studio just off Angel. The eye is immediately drawn to two large white Oriental lilies at the heart of the arrangement, their wide, silky petals spreading outwards in an elegant star shape, each bloom revealing prominent dark reddish-brown stamens that give a sense of depth at the centre. Surrounding them, a circle of pink roses offers layers of softness: some roses are still quite compact, while others have opened into full, rounded blooms, with velvety petals unfolding in gentle curls that invite you to imagine their delicate scent. Nestled between the roses are sprays of alstroemeria in pastel pink and white hues, each slender petal touched with fine yellow streaks and tiny speckles that add subtle pattern and texture. Floating throughout the bouquet are light, airy clusters of white baby's breath that soften the lines between the larger flowers, lending a cloud-like, almost dreamy quality to the arrangement. The entire design is framed by rich green foliage, including smooth, glossy leaves and lighter, feathery greens, giving the composition fullness and a natural, garden-fresh character reminiscent of foliage you might see around Canonbury or along the leafy paths near Highbury Corner. All the stems are arranged in a modern, square clear glass vase, the stems and clean water visible through the sides, while a pale pink satin ribbon is wrapped horizontally around the centre of the vase, adding a simple yet elegant finishing touch. In the lower right of the image, a vivid orange circular emblem with bold white capital text states "VASE INCLUDED," clearly indicating that the container is part of the gift. The bouquet overall radiates quiet celebration and thoughtful warmth, ideal for birthdays, new home gifts, or heartfelt congratulations delivered across Islington.

Set against a clean white background, this hand-tied bouquet looks like it has just been lifted from a florist's bench in Islington, its colours vivid and shapes precisely balanced. At the centre are several pink roses, half to fully open, with velvety petals unfolding in tight spirals that suggest both softness and quiet elegance. Surrounding them, yellow gerbera daisies with dark, almost black-brown centres provide a bright, happy contrast, their narrow, elongated petals arranged in neat circles that feel playful yet refined. Reaching upward from within the main cluster, tall spikes of blue delphiniums carry multiple small, open flowers along their slender stems, introducing a cool blue note that adds height, movement, and a touch of wild garden charm, as though freshly gathered from a border near Highbury Fields. The whole arrangement is enveloped in lush greenery. Delicate fern fronds emerge at various angles, giving a light, feathery frame, while broader dark-green leaves with a glossy surface anchor the bouquet and create a rich backdrop for the blooms. Tucked between the main stems are cushions of bright green filler foliage, compact and textured, adding depth and making the bouquet appear full and abundant. Around the base of the flower heads, several wide, tropical-style leaves, some gently striped with lighter green, are elegantly wrapped to form a smooth collar that conceals the binding and emphasises the rounded outline. Below this leafy collar, the straight green stems gather neatly and are secured with a pale cream or soft green wrap tied in a simple knot, presenting the bouquet as ready to gift or deliver across Islington, from quiet side streets off Upper Street to lively spots near Angel station, as a colourful symbol of celebration and appreciation.

Set against a pure white background, this lush, rounded bouquet appears almost to float, its soft colours and varied textures echoing the relaxed yet refined character of Islington. At its heart, cream roses open in generous spirals, each bloom showcasing velvety petals that curl back in layered rings, giving the design a graceful and timeless core. Threaded among the roses are spray roses in shades of blush and light pink, their smaller heads and mixture of buds and open flowers creating a sense of depth and quiet movement. A scattering of vivid pink gerbera daisies introduces a more vibrant note; their distinctive flat petals radiate from dark, textured centres, adding a touch of modern brightness that draws the eye. Around these, pale pink carnations contribute a cloud-like softness, their frilled petals overlapping in loose waves that bring comfort and a slightly nostalgic charm. White alstroemeria, with slender petals delicately marked by reddish streaks, tuck between the larger blooms, adding intricate detail and a sense of lightness. Wispy sprigs of baby's breath drift through the bouquet, their countless tiny white flowers forming a fine, airy mist that ties the elements together. Lush green foliage emerges from between the flowers, framing the pastel tones and providing a natural, garden-fresh contrast reminiscent of a walk through Highbury Fields or the green corners near Canonbury. At the base, the visible stems are neatly aligned and firmly tied, evidence of skilled craftsmanship and attention to balance. The bouquet feels like a floral embrace-ideal for congratulating a friend on a new home in Islington, marking a birthday, or simply sending quiet reassurance and care with local same-day delivery.

Basking in luminous daylight, this arrangement of Gerbera daisies is alive with movement and optimism-a true reflection of Islington's creative spirit. The harmonious blend of sparkling yellows, glowing oranges, and sumptuous fuchsia blooms are thoughtfully arranged by local floral experts, accented with fresh, verdant leaves that lend natural depth. Their radiant petals burst outward from deep, dramatic centres, weaving a visual narrative that draws the eye and heart alike. Encased with care, first in crackling, clear cellophane and then swathed in rustic brown paper, the wrapping evokes mornings roaming Chapel Market for fresh flowers or visiting artisan boutiques along St. John's Street. Tied with simple twine, a dainty white tag, adorned with a subtle rose illustration, offers space for a handwritten wish or message. The clarity of the glass vase reveals every slender stem, basking in water that sustains their vitality. The bouquet is neither too formal nor too wild-perfect for marking significant moments, celebrating a friend's new job in Clerkenwell, or brightening an apartment on Essex Road. This arrangement, prepared by those who know Islington's tastes and traditions, delivers a sense of effortless joy and heartfelt appreciation, destined to bring genuine warmth wherever it arrives.

This heart-shaped box of white roses, shaped by the hands of an Islington florist, tells a tale of refined devotion ideal for life's pivotal moments along Upper Street or the hidden courtyards of Barnsbury. A dense cluster of creamy white roses-ranging from tightly closed buds to blooms unfolding with silken grace-rests within a matte black hatbox whose minimalist lines reflect the contemporary energy of Islington living. At the base, a vivid scarlet satin ribbon circles the box, expertly tied in an iconic bow at the front-left side, its lustrous surface adding a celebratory gleam that speaks to romance, heartfelt admiration, and enduring affection. Each rose's petals, edged with hints of pale green, offer a visual narrative of freshness and quality, catching the natural daylight and lending an air of tranquility to the presentation. Set against a pure white background to spotlight its every detail, the arrangement radiates comfort, sophistication, and the quiet promise of cherished memory-whether as a Mother's Day gift delivered near Caledonian Road or a symbol of remembrance for a thoughtful friend in Canonbury.

Photographed straight on against a pure white background, this mixed flower bouquet appears almost three-dimensional, its rounded shape and rich colours capturing the energy of Islington's streets on a bright day. At its core and spaced thoughtfully throughout are striking roses with petals that shift from sunny yellow in their centres to warm orange and subtle red-orange at the outer edges, giving each bloom the look of a tiny sunset. Surrounding them, white daisy-like chrysanthemums with clean, crisp petals encircle vivid lime-green centres, bringing a fresh, uncluttered brightness reminiscent of a walk through Highbury & Islington in early spring. Tucked in between, clusters of smaller magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums add a velvety intensity, their densely packed petals and yellow-green hearts echoing the colours of the daisies while deepening the overall palette. Dark green foliage, glossy and structured, peeks from behind and between the flowers, giving the bouquet definition and helping to guide the eye across its surface. The stems are visible at the base, trimmed evenly and bound closely together, suggesting careful hand-tied work by skilled local florists who know how to balance form and fullness. The interplay of bright yellow, glowing orange, clean white, and rich magenta creates a feeling of joy, gratitude, and quiet celebration, making this design ideal for same-day delivery to homes, studios, and offices around Islington, from Angel and Holloway Road to peaceful side streets near Canonbury. It would feel equally suited to birthdays, anniversaries, or simply surprising a friend after lunch on Upper Street with a burst of colour and life.
BERRY BURST
£43.00

Set against a crisp white background, this hand-tied bouquet glows with the tender colours of pink and lavender, like early evening light over Islington's hidden courtyards. Two large clusters of blush pink hydrangeas form the heart of the design, each sphere made up of hundreds of tiny, softly scalloped florets that overlap to create a plush, almost cloudlike surface. Around them, light pink roses are tucked in with care; some are fully open, their spiralling centres unfolding in elegant layers, while others remain as smooth buds, poised on the brink of flowering and adding a gentle sense of anticipation. Delicate, bell-shaped flowers in pastel lavender and lilac-resembling campanula or other bellflowers-rise lightly from the bouquet on slender stems. Their nodding blossoms bring a sense of airy movement and cottage-garden charm, as though they had just been gathered from a calm corner near Islington's New River Walk. Tiny clusters of deeper fuchsia and rose-pink filler blooms, possibly waxflower or fine phlox, sparkle between the larger flowers, adding rich points of contrast and enhancing the sense of depth. Fresh green foliage frames and supports the pastel palette, with leaves of varying shapes and textures creating a natural, flowing outline. The stems at the base are cleanly gathered and tied, showing the meticulous work of a florist's hands and suggesting a bouquet ready to slip into a glass vase on a dining table off Essex Road or in a flat overlooking Canonbury. The lighting is soft and diffused, gently highlighting the velvety petals and the feathery edges of the hydrangea florets. This bouquet speaks of affection, gratitude, and quiet joy-a graceful arrangement suitable for birthdays, thank-you gestures, anniversaries, or simply brightening someone's home with a whisper of springtime in Islington.

A generous bouquet of freshly cut, multi-coloured roses fills the frame, the flowers arranged in a rounded, hand-tied cluster that sits against a pristine white background. The design feels both contemporary and timeless, much like the mix of old and new architecture around Islington's streets. Crimson and rich red roses mingle with coral and bright orange blooms, sunny yellows, gentle blush tones, vivid fuchsia, and soft cream or ivory roses, all carefully interspersed so the eye travels smoothly from one colour to the next. Some roses are open and full, with layered petals that curl slightly at the tips, while others are still unfolding, adding dimension and subtle movement to the arrangement. Between the blooms, deep green leaves peek through, creating shadow, contrast, and a sense of vitality, as though the flowers still carry the cool of an early morning delivery off Caledonian Road. The stems extend below the floral dome in a neat bundle, secured with a charming green and white check ribbon, giving the bouquet a crafted, personal feel that suggests it has been arranged with care by an experienced local florist. Clean, bright lighting eliminates harsh shadows and lets every shade appear crisp and true, making the velvety texture of the petals and the slight sheen of the foliage almost tangible.

A vibrant, rounded bouquet of mixed blooms spills generously from a modern white square box, set against a seamless white background that lets every hue and detail come to life. The arrangement feels like a joyful gift crafted by a local Islington florist, perfect for same-day delivery to a flat near Essex Road or a workspace off Old Street. At its heart, rich yellow chrysanthemums and clusters of small yellow roses form a glowing centre, their many layered petals creating a sense of depth and luxurious softness. These golden tones are balanced by crisp white flowers: daisy-like blooms with fresh green centres and larger, soft white chrysanthemums that bring brightness and gentle texture, preventing the design from feeling heavy. Threaded through this yellow-and-white canvas are bold fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums, some with subtle gradients into lighter pink, giving the bouquet a lively rhythm of colour, almost like confetti scattered through the design. Smaller pink and yellow rosebuds nestle between the bigger blooms, some still tightly closed, suggesting freshness and the promise of petals yet to unfurl. Around the edges and peeking between the flowers, glossy dark green foliage provides structure and definition. Its firm, elliptical leaves catch the light and frame the blossoms, making the colours appear even more saturated. The container, a simple white cube, serves as both vase and gift box, creating a clean, contemporary look that suits modern apartments around Barnsbury or creative studios near Hoxton.

A richly textured dome of roses dominates the frame, crafted entirely in shades of deep red, creamy white, and vivid royal blue. The bouquet is tightly hand-tied so that the blooms form a near-perfect sphere, creating an opulent, full silhouette against the pure white background. Crimson roses, soft yet saturated, weave through clusters of luminous white blossoms and rare sapphire-blue roses to create a patriotic colour harmony that is both dramatic and elegant. Each flower offers a different moment of bloom-some petals still wrapped closely in a tight spiral, others unfolding into open, generous rosettes-giving the arrangement an organic, breathing quality. Between the flowers, dark green leaves with a subtle gloss provide contrast, echoing the lush greenery you might spot in small Islington gardens tucked behind terraced streets off Holloway Road. At the base, a carefully arranged bundle of straight, trimmed stems in fresh green and pale brown tones shows the careful craftsmanship of a professional florist at work. The lighting is clean and diffused, allowing the reds, whites, and blues to stand out crisply without harsh shadow, lending the bouquet a calm yet powerful presence. This rose arrangement feels ideal for marking significant national holidays, remembrance services, or community events across Islington, whether displayed in a hall near Angel or on a dining table in a flat just off Upper Street.

At its centre, soft pale lilac roses unfold, their petals opening with a whisper of gentle fragrance suggestive of a stroll through Barnsbury Wood. Encircling these are flamboyant Gerbera daisies in a vivid fuchsia pink; their dark-eyed faces bring a bold, joyous energy to the display, reminiscent of flower stalls along Chapel Market. The deeper magenta chrysanthemums, artfully clustered, create texture and depth, highlighted by yellow-green accents that catch the eye, much like the hidden gems to be discovered throughout the neighbourhood.
