CHEAP FLOWERS
A vibrant mixed bouquet fills almost the entire frame, set against a spotless white background that makes every colour appear more intense, like wildflowers brought indoors from a sunny afternoon in Dulwich. The arrangement is shaped into a pleasingly rounded dome, with flowers tightly clustered to give a sense of fullness, balance, and skilled craftsmanship. Among the most eye-catching blooms are several bi-colour roses, their petals unfurling from bright, golden yellow centres into warm orange tones, fading gently into soft, ember-like red along the tips, creating a romantic, glowing effect. These roses are embraced by numerous white daisy-style chrysanthemums, each defined by a bright, lime-green centre that punctuates the bouquet with a crisp, contemporary energy, reminiscent of the fresh greens in Dulwich's gardens and allotments. Threaded throughout, clusters of deep magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums provide velvety texture and a jewel-toned accent, their yellow-green cores echoing the daisies and adding harmony to the palette. Lush, dark green foliage peeks from between the flowers, its smooth, slightly glossy leaves adding depth and framing the blossoms much like trees surrounding the ponds in Dulwich Park. At the base of the bouquet, a bundle of stems is neatly gathered and cut, the varied shades of green and light brown clearly visible against the white, suggesting a freshly made, hand-tied bouquet ready to be placed in a favourite vase. The overall mood is one of joy, gratitude, and soft celebration, ideal for anniversaries in Victorian Dulwich homes, congratulations for local achievements, or simply sending a warm, colourful hello across SE21 and SE22.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
There is the air of an English cutting garden in this bouquet, arranged with thoughtful restraint and a natural, unforced elegance. At its heart sit blush-pink garden roses whose layered petals feel sumptuous under the eye; their pale warmth is balanced by clusters of crisp white berries and the cool, blue-green sweep of eucalyptus leaves that arch outward like a hush of silvered foliage. Interspersed throughout are tiny white filler flowers-delicate, star-like waxflower or astrantia-that scatter light and small shadow across the composition, while occasional deeper pink and burgundy accents add a gentle, grounded richness. Narrow, upright flower spikes poke through at the sides, suggesting snapdragon or similar stems that give the bouquet a graceful, lively silhouette. The hand-tied stems are finished with a cream fabric ribbon, knotted simply and left to fall in a soft tail, a tactile detail that speaks to careful florist craft. In soft morning or late-afternoon light, the arrangement radiates quiet refinement and invites touch-the velvety rose petals, the cool crispness of eucalyptus, the woody faintness of stems. As a local florist arranging for neighbours across Dulwich and East Dulwich, I imagine this piece arriving at a birthday tea on Lordship Lane, a new-home welcome near Dulwich Village, or as a thoughtful thank-you delivered to a flat close to Dulwich Park. The overall feeling is one of comfort and understated joy, a bouquet that reads as both artful and approachable.
FLORIST CHOICE £50
£50.00
Presented against a bright white field, this professionally assembled bouquet balances spirited colour with refined texture: several large magenta Gerbera daisies command attention with their dense, radiating petals and dark central discs, offering an immediate, uplifting energy. In contrast, creamy white roses are interspersed throughout, their soft, multi-layered petals curling inward and outward with gentle, tactile elegance that suggests a quiet fragrance of fresh roses. Clusters of rich purple Alstroemeria (Peruvian lilies) thread through the arrangement, their trumpet-like forms and subtle speckling adding movement and an exotic undertone without overpowering the main palette. The greenery is generous and varied - glossy broad leaves sit beside longer, linear foliage that frames and supports each bloom, creating a full, rounded silhouette and a dimensional depth that invites touch. A hint of a clear glass vase is visible at the base, anchoring the flowers with a cool, reflective surface and implying careful stem placement and hydration. The studio light is crisp, making the magenta appear almost fuchsia and lending the roses a soft, creamy warmth; shadows fall gently, sculpting the bouquet's volume. As experienced hands at Flowers Dulwich would arrange for local delivery, this composition reads as both celebratory and comforting: ideal for brightening a kitchen table in East Dulwich, bringing a modern elegance to a birthday, or offering a tasteful sympathy bouquet. The overall effect is fresh, thoughtful, and designed to draw the eye and lift the spirit.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
This image presents a tender yet vibrant "Mum to Be" bouquet and balloon set, photographed against a pure white backdrop that allows every petal and leaf to take centre stage. The bouquet's most eye-catching elements are its fuchsia gerbera daisies, each bloom wide open and confident, with dark, velvety centres encircled by perfectly formed petals that echo the lively spirit of Lordship Lane on a busy afternoon. Woven among them are soft pink roses in various stages of bloom; some are tight buds evoking those first flutterings of excitement, while others are partly open, revealing intricate spirals of velvety petals that invite closer contemplation. Fine clusters of lilac-purple filler flowers add a gentle haze of colour, creating the feeling of a garden border in full flourish. The greenery is lush and abundant, with slender leaves reaching outward and broader, glossy foliage providing a fresh, natural contrast to the intense pinks. Together, these elements form a rounded, carefully composed shape that looks both crafted and relaxed. The stems are wrapped in layers of pink tissue paper, their edges ruffled and folded to create a soft collar around the base, then finished with an outer layer of clear, reflective cellophane that gives a polished, ready-to-deliver appearance, as though it might be heading to a baby shower in West Dulwich or East Dulwich. In front of the bouquet sits a cheerful round foil balloon with a scalloped outline. Its background is a strong, joyful pink scattered with even white polka dots, while in the centre, the phrase "Mum to Be!" is written in graceful white script. A small pink heart nestled inside a larger white heart adds an extra touch of tenderness. The overall effect is one of heartfelt celebration and anticipation, perfect for honouring an expectant mother in the Dulwich community.
MUM TO BE
£60.00
This hand-tied white bouquet, offered by Flowers Dulwich for local delivery across Dulwich and East Dulwich, reads as an exercise in calm and craft. Against a plain white backdrop the arrangement centres on many bright white, daisy-like chrysanthemums, their neat petals radiating from small yellow centres that add a sympathetic warmth to the design. Interspersed are long, pale green-yellow lily buds - some with faint stripes - that lend an elegant vertical rhythm and the quiet promise of more blooms to come. Delicate sprays of gypsophila (baby's breath) float between the larger flowers, creating a soft, clouded texture that breathes around the sturdier heads of chrysanthemum and lily. Rich dark foliage and glossy leaves frame the composition, giving depth and a verdant counterpoint to the whites. The bouquet is wrapped in an inner sheet of rustic, crinkled brown kraft paper and an outer layer of clear cellophane that protects and polishes the presentation; the base is gathered and tied into a neat handle so the bundle can be placed on a mantel or carried along Lordship Lane without losing its shape. As a local florist I note how the neutral palette suits many occasions: a gentle condolence after a service near Dulwich Park, a serene housewarming, or a simple 'thinking of you' when someone needs comfort. The aroma is clean and subtle - green and mildly floral - and the overall composition speaks of restraint, attentiveness and the quiet eloquence of white blooms prepared with local care.
PURE ELEGANCE
£65.00
In this photograph, a lush, dome-shaped bouquet rises from a sleek white cube box, all set against a pure white backdrop that enhances the intensity of its colours. The arrangement feels like a burst of happiness you might send to a friend just off Lordship Lane, with vivid yellow, white, and fuchsia tones mingling in a harmonious blend. The most striking feature is the abundance of yellow chrysanthemums and compact spray roses, their petals layered in soft, rounded forms that give the bouquet a rich, almost velvety surface. These golden blooms create a central glow that radiates warmth and optimism. Surrounding and interspersed among them are cool white daisy chrysanthemums with fresh green centres and fuller, pompom-style white mums, which introduce a crisp, clean contrast and stop the bouquet from feeling too heavy. Threaded through this yellow and white base are deep fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums, some edged with lighter pink hues that soften their impact while still providing a bold, eye-catching accent. Scattered rosebuds in pink and yellow peek through, suggesting movement and growth, as though the bouquet is caught in a moment of gentle unfolding. Framing the entire arrangement is a collar of deep green, glossy foliage, which provides structure and enhances the feeling of freshness, reminiscent of a calm walk through Dulwich Park under the trees. The plain white box is modern and understated, serving as both container and gift presentation, making the arrangement perfect for a Dulwich townhouse hallway, a café tabletop, or a home office desk. The overall impression is of a joyful, contemporary floral design, ideal for celebratory occasions or as a thoughtful way to send love and encouragement anywhere across Dulwich and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
SPARKLING EYES
£50.00
In this image, a hand-tied bouquet of chrysanthemums is showcased against a clean white background, its rounded shape and soft palette of whites and greens creating a calm, refreshing impression. Large chrysanthemum blooms in pure white and creamy-ivory are the main focus, each flower densely layered with fine, slightly curved petals circling around pale green or yellowish centres. Their plush texture suggests quiet luxury, like the kind of elegant arrangement you might spot in a well-kept Dulwich Village sitting room. Tucked among these larger blooms are clusters of smaller white spray chrysanthemums, their daisy-like petals more open and delicate, adding lightness and an almost playful movement to the design. Dotted throughout the bouquet are bright lime-green pompon chrysanthemums, perfectly rounded and tightly packed, their vibrant colour and button-like shape providing cheerful contrast and a modern twist. Deep green foliage frames the flowers from below, peering through in small glimpses that help define the bouquet's dome-like silhouette and underline its freshly gathered feel. The stems at the base are neatly aligned and cut to a uniform length, then cinched together with a wide lime-green satin ribbon tied into an elegant, multi-looped bow. This ribbon picks up the tone of the pompon blooms and adds a polished finish, as though ready to be carried down one of the leafy streets around Dulwich Park or delivered to a nearby café as a table centerpiece. The bouquet feels versatile and heartfelt, suitable for celebrating a new home, sending gentle get-well wishes, or offering comfort with a sense of calm, natural beauty.
