CHRISTENING 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.

Imagine the soft, ambient light spilling through sash windows of a Dulwich townhouse-this scene is evoked in a breathtaking mixed flower bouquet set against a pristine white backdrop. At its heart, velvety peach-pink roses spiral open, their gentle blush mirrored in the petals of grand peach gerbera daisies anchoring the composition. Interlaced throughout are airy puffs of pure white baby's breath, their ethereal clusters casting a dreamy, cloudlike mood akin to strolling quiet footpaths near Dulwich Village. Crisp white chrysanthemums peek out between the larger blooms, their lime-green centers shimmering subtly, reminiscent of the first shoots in the Rosebery's gardens after rain. Slender sprigs of deep, aromatic greenery wind gracefully around the base, their vibrant hue recalling Dulwich Common's hillsides. The stems are arranged in a crystal-clear, delicately textured vase, which rests elegantly on a sunlit table; the natural twine bow around its neck fastened with a white card tag adds the comforting feel of a cherished, handmade gift. You can all but sense the gentle fragrance mingling in the air-a soothing blend of rose, fresh greenery, and dewy mornings. This bouquet, available for delivery throughout Dulwich and West Norwood, embodies thoughtfulness, serenity, and a refined sense of local artistry, making it ideal for marking life's cherished moments or simply bringing a touch of local beauty indoors.
CANDY CRUSH

Bathed in gentle daylight evocative of an early walk near Dulwich Village, this bouquet comes alive within a round, clear glass vase, its surface glinting with a distinctive cracked texture. Soft lavender roses, their petals unfurling with quiet grace, form the heart of the arrangement, hinting at a subtle, sweet aroma. Their delicacy is contrasted and complemented by bold Gerbera daisies in radiant fuchsia pink, the blooms unfolding around deep, chocolatey centres and conveying warmth and optimism. Surrounding these statement flowers are lush, layered chrysanthemums in deep plum and magenta, their threadlike petals offering a tactile richness and surprise pops of greenish-yellow. Wisps of baby's breath meander through, their frothy white clusters brightening and softening the overall palette. Everything is anchored by generous, glossy green foliage, which peeks out and frames the arrangement. The rustic touch of raffia ribbon at the vase's neck, carefully tied, and a neat white tag dangling, suggest a bouquet intended as a thoughtful gift-maybe for a quiet occasion in East Dulwich or to celebrate a milestone with neighbours. This arrangement, shaped by the skilled hands of a local florist in Dulwich, conveys a sense of occasion and sincerity, making every delivery memorable in this leafy South London neighbourhood.
DAY BRIGHTENER

Captured against a pure white background, this mixed bouquet appears full and beautifully composed, the sort of arrangement you might receive from a trusted Dulwich florist after a thoughtful order. The eye is immediately drawn to the two central deep red roses, their petals densely layered and velvety, creating a strong focal point that suggests romance, respect, and heartfelt emotion. Surrounding them is a lively halo of daisy-like chrysanthemums, some pristine white with vivid lime-green centres, others in gentle pink shades that run from blush to medium rosy tones, each bloom adding its own rhythm and character. The lime-green centres inject a fresh, youthful energy, making the whites and pinks feel bright and modern rather than overly traditional. Woven among these main flowers are slender sprays of pale pink waxflower-style blossoms, their tiny, starry petals and visible stamens forming a fine, intricate pattern that softens the whole bouquet, rather like the delicate textures you notice walking past cottage-style gardens near Dulwich Village. The arrangement is wrapped in layers of fresh green foliage, from broad, dark leaves to lighter, more delicate greens, giving depth, contrast, and a sense of natural abundance. At the base, the stems are clearly visible, neatly trimmed and tied to create a compact hand-tied posy, ready to sit in a simple glass vase on a North Dulwich windowsill or café table. The bouquet's blend of reds, whites, pinks, and greens carries a calm but joyful mood, making it perfect for expressing love, gratitude, friendship, or get-well wishes with same-day delivery around Dulwich and the surrounding streets.

Carefully arranged by local florists in Dulwich, this bouquet captures a palette of passionate reds and serene whites, each rose at the height of bloom. The ten deep red roses, layered among ten pure white counterparts, form a visual dance of fervour and grace-mirroring the vibrant life and tranquillity of Dulwich's community gardens. Their petals, pristine and unfurled, are surrounded by an artful assortment of foliage: dark, lush leaves, muted eucalyptus, and variegated green accents punctuate the design. Gentle rays of daylight enhance the bouquet's pastel pink wrapping, its semi-sheer fabric adding softness reminiscent of a morning in Belair Park. The bouquet's aroma weaves together delicate floral sweetness with earthy undertones, conjuring memories of Dulwich's Sunday flower markets. With its romantic yet grounded character, the bouquet is perfect for occasions from anniversaries to milestone birthdays, or simply to brighten a loved one's day near Lordship Lane. It is a heartfelt gesture imbued with the artistry and community spirit unique to Dulwich.
INFINITY
£79.00

Centrally composed and deliberately elegant, this bouquet places a single, fully open creamy white Oriental lily at its heart, the smooth petals unfurling to reveal pale yellow stamens and a tender green pistil. Surrounding it are numerous tightly closed or gently opening lily buds in lime-green and soft yellow tones, lending a sense of anticipation and generous volume. Interspersed through the composition are rich red rosebuds with a velvety surface, their deeper colour providing dramatic contrast and the classic language of affection. The green architecture of the piece is varied and deliberate: glossy, broad leaves offer a dark, structural backdrop while long, feathery palm fronds spill outward in a lighter emerald that captures light and creates a feeling of motion. Rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves thread through the bouquet, their cool tone softening the palette. The flowers sit in a clear cylindrical glass vase so the pale green stems and clear water remain visible, emphasising freshness under the bright white studio lighting. This arrangement, crafted with neighbourhood care by Flowers Dulwich, suits a range of moments-from a quiet congratulation delivered across East Dulwich to a romantic table arrangement for a birthday in Dulwich Village. Imagine the layered scent: the lilies' powdery sweetness punctuated by the roses' deeper perfume, the greens adding a clean, herbaceous undercurrent. It's an offering that feels composed, attentive, and quietly celebratory-perfect for those who want a statement that's both refined and heartfelt.
INSPIRATION
£65.00

This bouquet reads like a gentle poem in bloom: creamy white and rich magenta oriental lilies arranged with thoughtful balance and presented in a clear glass vase against a clean white field. Many blooms are open wide, their silky petals creating a soft architecture of curves and points, and their prominent stamens, tipped with pale anthers, add a whisper of natural detail. The white lilies are a restrained off-white, with subtle yellow-green cues at the throat that give a fresh, sunlit impression; the deeper pinks range to fuchsia, their petals sometimes veined or centred with a pale creamy flash that adds depth and contrast. Tight buds arc above and between the open flowers, promising sequential opening that lengthens the bouquet's life-an important detail when placing these by a bedside or dining table. Dark, lanceolate leaves thread through the arrangement, their cool, glossy green grounding the colour story and lending an almost garden-fresh energy. The vase's transparency reveals cut stems and clear water, emphasising the careful handling and immediate freshness of the stems. Under bright, even lighting the petal surfaces register a tactile, almost silk-like quality, and one can easily imagine the faintly sweet, heady scent filling a small flat near Dulwich Village or a quiet house off College Road. This arrangement is equally suited to calm celebrations, a thoughtful host gift, or a cheery reminder delivered the same day across East Dulwich, offering both visual richness and a comforting floral presence.
MARVELOUS BLOOMS

This image captures a beautifully composed hydrangea bouquet, hand-tied and presented against a crisp white background that highlights every petal and leaf. Dominating the centre is a plush, pillowy globe of creamy white hydrangea, built from countless tiny florets that overlap in soft waves, suggesting the gentle elegance of Dulwich's period homes and tree-lined streets. Around it, generous clusters of sky-blue hydrangeas rise towards the upper left and right, their cool tones softly shifting from pale powder blue to slightly deeper hues, like blue sky glimpsed through park canopies. Tucked among these, particularly noticeable at the bottom left and upper right, are rounded heads of lime and chartreuse-green hydrangeas, bringing a lively jolt of spring-like freshness, much like the first growth in gardens off Dulwich Village and East Dulwich. Interwoven throughout the blooms is a tapestry of foliage: rounded, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves that feel velvety and modern, and darker, glossy green leaves, some more elongated and pointed, that add depth and contrast. The bouquet forms a generous, rounded silhouette, full yet carefully balanced, with the stems clearly gathered and bound at the base to reveal the traditional hand-tied craftsmanship. The lighting is soft and even, casting minimal shadows and allowing the subtle variations of colour and texture to be easily appreciated. This arrangement radiates a quiet, cooling serenity, making it ideal for thoughtful birthdays, new-home celebrations in SE22, or as an elegant floral accent for family gatherings after a stroll through Dulwich Park or around the Picture Gallery.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00

A quietly radiant bouquet of approximately twelve immaculate white roses anchors this design, the creamy petals unfolding in stages from tightly furled buds to full, soft blooms that seem to glow against a bright white backdrop. Sprays of baby's breath (Gypsophila) are woven generously through the roses, their myriad tiny white flowers forming a lacy, cloud-like veil that adds air and lightness to the arrangement. Lush green leaves, varying from deep forest to a fresh lime, create a verdant cradle that both supports and accentuates the pale flowers. The stems are visible through a clear glass vase, the water level and neatly trimmed stalks adding a practical honesty that underscores the bouquet's freshness. Natural, diffused light highlights the subtle ivory tones at the petal margins and imparts a soft sheen to the foliage. From a Dulwich florist's point of view this composition is deliberately timeless-suitable for a wedding table near Dulwich Picture Gallery, a birthday on Lordship Lane, or a gentle condolence left with a family in East Dulwich. The fragrance is whisper-light, more of a suggestion of green and floral than an overpowering perfume, inviting quiet reflection. I picture arranging each stem with patient care, balancing volume and negative space so the roses breathe beneath their gypsophila halo. Available locally and crafted with neighbourhood knowledge, this bouquet speaks of understated elegance and steady affection, a classic selection that carries warmth without excess.
MY ONLY
£70.00

Arranging this bouquet in the heart of Dulwich, I am always captivated by the gentle interplay between blush-pink gerberas and classic pink roses. Together, they form a luminous display, their soft hues reminiscent of sunrise light filtering through Sydenham Hill's trees, the petals blending seamlessly in watercolor-like washes. Clusters of deep purple statice add vibrant punctuation and texture, bringing a cheerful twist to the composition. The verdant green foliage beneath not only grounds the bouquet but also brings a dewy freshness, like a morning stroll through Belair Park after rain. Set in a graceful glass vase, the entire arrangement feels wonderfully light and airy, catching the light just so that the colors softly glow-a bright, uplifting presence for a welcoming Dulwich home or a thoughtful get-well gesture for a friend nearby. With every bloom carefully selected for its unique story, this bouquet embodies both craft and genuine joy, reflecting the warm, artistic spirit of Flowers Dulwich.
PINK DAZE
£49.00

A generously filled glass vase sits centred before a softly glowing white backdrop, as if placed on a windowsill overlooking leafy Dulwich streets, showcasing a meticulously arranged bouquet that radiates upbeat celebration. Dominating the design are several large gerbera daisies in intense shades of fuchsia and magenta, each blossom framed by smooth, evenly spaced petals circling a dark, almost black eye. Their modern, graphic shape gives the arrangement an instant sense of confidence and joy, like a smile brought into the room. Woven between these striking blooms are clusters of daisy-like chrysanthemums whose many slender petals are tipped in deep purple and melt into creamy white near the centre, surrounding bright yellow discs that catch the light. Creamy white roses, some in full, cupped bloom and others still in bud, add a refined, romantic counterpoint to the bold pinks and purples, their petals appearing almost velvety and softly fragranced in the imagination. Fine sprays of white baby's breath thread through the bouquet, creating delicate, cloud-like layers that ease the transitions between colours and give extra depth when viewed from any angle. Lush green foliage, with leaves of varying sizes and textures, supports and frames the flowers, grounding the design and hinting at the freshness of stems just prepared by a local florist. The clear, slightly textured jar-style vase, cinched with rustic twine, feels relaxed yet thoughtful, while the slim white gift tag, printed with a stylised pink rose and gentle script, suggests a personalised message for a loved one in Dulwich Village or near Lordship Lane. Bathed in natural daylight, the bouquet seems perfect for same-day flower delivery to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, new homes, or simply to brighten a living room overlooking Dulwich Park. Every detail reflects the kind of careful, artistic floristry that locals associate with independent neighbourhood flower shops.
PINK SWEETNESS
£55.00
Buy now
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

This composition presents a generous gathering of white lilies, densely clustered in a clear glass vase against a pristine white field so that every petal and leaf becomes the focal point. The blooms unfurl in overlapping layers - broad, smooth petals forming soft trumpets with a subtle creamy-yellow wash at their centres that adds warmth beneath the dazzling white. Prominent stamens with pale green-yellow filaments stand upright from the flower cups, each capped by warm, russet-brown anthers that trace fine lines of texture across the blooms. Deep green, elongated leaves thread through the bouquet, their glossy surfaces and pointed tips giving structure and a lush backdrop to the white faces. Through the vase's transparent walls, pale green stems sink into clear water, their neat cuts and healthy colour communicating careful handling and fresh delivery. The light is even and forgiving, catching the slight translucence of petals and the sheen on the leaves, while a quiet, soft fragrance seems to hover just beyond the frame. The overall mood is one of composed serenity - perfectly at home as an elegant table centrepiece for a refined gathering on Lordship Lane or as a comforting arrangement for moments of remembrance near The Dulwich Picture Gallery. An experienced florist's touch is evident in the balance between fullness and air, making this bouquet both visually striking and emotionally consoling.
