BUTTONHOLES
On a softly woven, light beige linen background, a single boutonniere lies carefully arranged, as if waiting on a dressing table in a Dulwich townhouse just before a wedding ceremony. The fabric beneath is subtly textured, catching the light in a gentle way that sets off the vibrant colours of the flowers without competing with them. Two white lisianthus blooms form the focal point, their petals lightly ruffled and edged with a sumptuous band of deep purple, giving them the look of hand-painted porcelain. These blossoms feel both modern and timeless, the sort of detail a style-conscious groom might choose for a ceremony near Dulwich College or an intimate celebration off Lordship Lane. Clusters of tiny, pristine white filler flowers are interspersed among the lisianthus, softening the transitions between blooms and adding an airy, cloudlike volume. A slender vertical stem of muscari - those small, bell-shaped grape hyacinth flowers in a rich violet-purple - introduces a more textured note, like a miniature tower of colour that echoes the lisianthus edging. Around the flowers, fine, feathery greenery curls and fans out, its fresh green tones suggesting the scent of cut stems and early morning deliveries from a local flower market. Two pale green buds, still tightly closed, sit discreetly among the foliage, symbolising promise and the unfolding of a new chapter. All the stems are neatly gathered and finished with a smooth white satin ribbon, firmly wrapped and tucked so it appears polished yet understated. The boutonniere feels perfectly suited to a groom or prom guest in Dulwich who wants something elegant, subtle, and full of quiet emotion, rather than anything overly showy.
LILIUM & LISIANTHUS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
A romantic boutonniere or petite corsage lies carefully placed on a finely woven, light beige fabric, the texture of the linen catching the light in a way that feels both understated and refined, much like a quiet gathering in one of Dulwich's elegant period homes. The floral design centres on a charming cluster of soft pink, multi-petalled blooms-likely miniature stock or small garden flowers-whose petals are gently ruffled, giving a sense of movement and softness as they shade from deeper blush at the base to a more delicate pastel at their outer edges. Nestled throughout are clusters of classic white baby's breath, each slender stem topped with tiny rounded blossoms that form a dainty, cloud-like halo around the pink flowers, adding height and a filigree texture. Punctuating this pastel scene are tiny sprigs of lavender and deep purple florets, their cooler tones providing a quiet contrast and making the main pink and white palette appear even more luminous. Extending out to one side, several elongated, creamy-white buds with hints of pale green-reminiscent of freesia or similar slender flowers-lie in a gentle arc, suggesting new blooms poised to open just in time for a ceremony at a Dulwich Village church or a celebration on Lordship Lane. The base of the arrangement is formed by glossy, broad green leaves that curve protectively around the stems, while fine, wispy threads of fern-like greenery reach outwards, introducing an organic, slightly wild edge. All the stems are carefully bound and finished with a striking fuchsia satin ribbon, tied into a small, beautifully symmetrical bow whose silky sheen catches the light. The overall impression is one of quiet celebration and thoughtful craftsmanship, a hand-made floral accent perfect for weddings, proms, or formal events across Dulwich and nearby leafy streets.
LISIANTHUS & ANEMONE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A single peach rose boutonniere rests carefully arranged on a pale beige, linen-textured cloth, the fabric's fine, even weave providing a soft, tactile backdrop that feels as calm as an early morning in Dulwich Park. The rose, slightly off-centre and positioned horizontally, glows with a warm pastel tone, shading from a richer peach at its spiralled heart to a pale, creamy hue along the outer petals, as if brushed by first light. Clusters of dainty white gypsophila, or baby's breath, nestle close to the rose's upper edge, their tiny blossoms forming a delicate halo that softens the composition and adds a whisper of bridal romance. Around them, slender blades of fresh green foliage and two deeper green, gently curved leaves cradle the stem, introducing contrast and a sense of hand-crafted structure. The stems themselves are tightly wrapped in a peach satin ribbon that echoes the colour of the rose, its smooth surface catching a quiet sheen under the soft, even lighting. The ribbon is secured in a neat finish, suggesting careful, experienced hands-like those of a local florist preparing buttonholes for a wedding party gathering near Dulwich Village or a prom at a nearby school. You can almost imagine the light, sweet scent of the rose and the gentle rustle of fabric as it is pinned to a lapel. The overall mood of the image is one of understated elegance and intimate celebration, a thoughtfully designed floral accessory ready for same-day delivery across SE21 and surrounding Dulwich streets, created to accompany joyful vows, formal photographs, and the quietly emotional moments in between.
ORANGE ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
An elegant groom's boutonniere rests on a pale beige, linen-like cloth, the fabric's gentle, natural weave reminiscent of relaxed yet refined wedding tablescapes around Dulwich. At its centre, a flawless white Phalaenopsis orchid opens with confident grace, each petal broad and silky, curving outward to frame a delicate inner throat tinted with soft yellow and subtle reddish-orange flecks. The orchid feels almost luminous against the neutral background, as if lit by soft afternoon light filtering through townhouse windows on a quiet Dulwich side street. Surrounding this central bloom, airy clusters of white baby's breath form a delicate halo, their tiny blossoms adding a cloud-like softness and a touch of romance. To one side, two lime-green chrysanthemum buds sit like small, textured spheres, their finely layered petals creating a spiky, modern contrast that injects freshness and a hint of playful energy into the design. Beneath the flowers, a rich, deep green leaf cradles the arrangement, with a smaller, darker leaf tucked in near the base for added dimension and depth. The stems are tightly bound in a vivid crimson red satin ribbon, wrapped with precision and finished in a neat knot or subtle bow, offering a striking splash of colour that symbolizes celebration and passion without overwhelming the calm whites and greens. This boutonniere, likely crafted for a wedding or formal event, blends classic orchid elegance with just enough contemporary detail to feel at home at a ceremony near Dulwich Park or a chic reception close to North Cross Road, making it an understated yet expressive floral accent for an unforgettable day.
ORCHID & CHRYSANTHEMUMS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
A handcrafted boutonniere lies centered on a pale oatmeal-coloured, woven fabric backdrop, its subtle texture similar to the soft textiles often seen in Dulwich boutique interiors. The eye is immediately drawn to a flawless white Phalaenopsis orchid bloom, its generous, satin-smooth petals opening gracefully like wings. At the orchid's centre, a delicate wash of creamy yellow and soft orange glows within the throat, adding a gentle warmth that feels intimate and inviting, as if lit by soft daylight filtering through a Dulwich Picture Gallery window. Surrounding the orchid, clusters of tiny white baby's breath create a gauzy, cloud-like ring, lending lightness and volume without overwhelming the focal flower. Interspersed among the floral elements are lush green leaves, some broad and pointed, others slimmer and more elongated, their glossy surfaces evoking the fresh greenery of local gardens along College Road. Tucked neatly to one side, a vivid grouping of glossy red berries offers a bright, festive accent, while a few paler green, berry-like buds introduce a note of youthful freshness. The mix of white, red, and green hints at winter celebrations or elegant wedding parties gathered in Dulwich's historic venues. All the stems are gathered and secured by a rich red satin ribbon, wrapped with careful precision and tied into a compact knot, its short tails lying neatly against the stems. The ribbon's gleam provides a final touch of refinement, clearly signalling that this is a finished piece ready to be pinned on a groom, groomsman, or prom guest. The overall composition feels calm, romantic, and meticulously crafted, perfect for special occasions and same-day floral delivery around Dulwich and nearby South London postcodes.
ORCHID & HYPERICUM GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
An exquisitely detailed pink rose boutonniere rests on a pale, natural linen background, the soft, woven texture reminiscent of the relaxed yet refined interiors of homes around East Dulwich and Herne Hill. The composition is captured from slightly above, drawing your eye first to the central bloom: a semi-open blush rose with velvety petals that shift from a gentle, powdery pink at the center to a more saturated, romantic pink at the edges. The petals curl delicately outward, suggesting a flower at the height of its freshness, ready for a wedding, engagement party, or school prom in the Dulwich area. Encircling the base of the rose, tiny clusters of creamy white baby's breath create a weightless, cloud-like ring, each minute blossom adding texture and a soft contrast to the rose's smooth petals. Behind the central flower, fine strands of emerald green, grass-like foliage radiate outwards in a loose fan, giving the arrangement a sense of airy movement, as though it has just been gathered from a garden on a quiet morning walk through nearby Dulwich Park. A single, broader, darker green leaf is folded neatly around the lower part of the stems, forming a tidy, tailored cradle that echoes the line of a lapel. At the base, the stems are wrapped with a sleek, two-tone satin ribbon in lavender and magenta-purple, tied in a simple, precise knot that glints softly where the light catches its sheen. The subdued, neutral backdrop and gentle, even lighting emphasise the interplay of colour and texture, turning this small floral accent into a refined statement piece that would complement a tailored suit for any formal celebration around SE21 and SE22. Crafted with care and an eye for balance, it reflects the quiet elegance that many Dulwich couples seek for their special day.
PURPLE ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A finely detailed wedding boutonniere rests on a pale beige, linen-like background, its subtle texture evoking the calm interiors of a Dulwich townhouse. Dominating the small arrangement is a lush fuchsia rose, the petals packed tightly at the centre and unfurling in smooth, velvety layers that radiate outwards, capturing that moment when a rose is just opening to its full glory. Surrounding this central bloom are delicate sprays of white baby's breath, each tiny flower a pinpoint of light against the stronger pink, creating a soft, clouded halo that feels both classic and timeless. Tucked thoughtfully amongst these are small, round red hypericum berries, their lacquered surfaces reflecting glints of light and adding a warm, slightly festive note to the design. Slender, feathery greenery stretches gracefully from the base, its fine texture balancing the rose's fullness, while darker, broader leaves are shaped and curled to give the boutonniere a sculpted, tailored silhouette. The stems are bound with a smooth strip of red satin ribbon, wrapped tightly and finished in a neat bow that lies flat against the fabric, suggesting comfort and ease when worn on a lapel. Gentle natural light, as if from a nearby Dulwich café window, falls from above, tracing every contour and casting soft shadows that highlight the florist's precise handiwork. The overall impression is of a romantic, contemporary buttonhole perfect for a groom, best man, or prom date heading out through the leafy streets of SE21, combining vivid colour with understated elegance for a memorable celebration.
RED ROSE & HYPERICUM GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A romantic boutonnière lies at a gentle angle on a pale beige, linen-like fabric, its subtle texture evoking the relaxed elegance of a Dulwich townhouse interior. At the centre, a single rosebud in a saturated deep pink, leaning toward fuchsia, is tightly closed yet full of promise; the petals are smooth, velvety, and richly coloured, their edges catching the bright, natural-style lighting. Encircling this focal bloom are airy tufts of pure white baby's breath, each tiny flower like a soft dot of light against the rose, lending the arrangement a cloud-like softness. Fresh green foliage spreads gracefully behind: a base of slightly broader, darker leaves anchors the design, while slender, feathery, bright green sprigs stretch outward, giving a sense of movement and an almost garden-picked charm that feels right at home near Dulwich Park or along Lordship Lane. The stems are carefully aligned and wrapped tightly in a vivid red satin ribbon, the fabric smooth and lustrous, creating a neat column that culminates in a small, deliberate fold or knot. This ribbon not only secures the flowers but also echoes the warm tones of the rose, adding a touch of formality. The even, bright lighting reveals every vein in the leaves, every curve of the petals, and the fine weave of the background, conveying freshness and attention to detail. The overall mood is one of intimate celebration and quiet sophistication, a lapel flower perfectly suited to a wedding, civil ceremony, or school prom in Dulwich, where understated style and thoughtful craftsmanship are cherished.
RED ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
Bathed in the mellow, filtered light characteristic of a Dulwich morning, this artfully designed boutonniere sits poised on a textured, oatmeal-coloured linen-its softness evoking quiet walks along Court Lane. Dominating the arrangement is a blush pink rose, each tightly furled petal hinting at early spring promise, with a core that deepens to rose quartz before gentle gradients shimmer outwards. Nestled closely is a lighter peach-pink flower, ruffled and inviting, its centre quietly vibrant with a pulse of yellow and tiny flecks-reminiscent of springtime blooms in Dulwich Park. A miniature constellation of white baby's breath clusters softly nearby, lending lightness and volume, while compact green mums add lively texture and evoke the neighbourhood's abundant greenery. Flourishes of slender fern or wispy grass reach upward, echoing the upward sway of Dulwich's mature trees, as broader, shining green leaves form a solid and composed foundation. A neatly wrapped wide leaf encircles the base, all brought together by a fuchsia pink satin ribbon artfully tied in a small, sleek bow-a flourish of celebratory spirit. The woven linen surface beneath contrasts beautifully with the organic forms above, ensuring each detail from curving stem to glossy ribbon stands out. Whether chosen for a wedding at a local chapel or a family banquet on Half Moon Lane, this boutonniere's colour, craft, and design evoke not only the magic of special days but also the gentle, welcoming spirit of Dulwich itself.
ROSE & ALSTROEMERIA GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£99.00
On a pale, linen-like cloth that recalls the calm interiors of Dulwich Village homes, a compact floral boutonniere is arranged with meticulous care, every element chosen for harmony and poise. At its centre rests a fully opened white alstroemeria, the petals satin-smooth and slightly ruffled at the edges, arching back to expose slender stamens and a throat gently dusted with reddish-brown speckles. To one side, a tall, conical cluster of bright green buds, pressed closely together, brings a modern, almost architectural line to the piece, its texture reminiscent of tiny overlapping scales or a miniature flower spike. Threaded throughout are sprigs of airy white baby's breath, the minute blossoms floating like soft flecks of light, diffusing the sharper forms and lending an ethereal softness. Beneath and around the flowers, dark, pointed leaves cradle the composition, while finer, grass-like strands sweep around the edges, introducing movement and a slightly wild, garden-picked feeling. The stems are bound with a neatly tied satin ribbon in fresh pink, the bow small but confident, adding a joyful pop of colour that suggests romance and celebration without overwhelming the calm palette. The lighting is gentle and even, revealing the subtle sheen on the ribbon, the velvety petals, and the crisp edges of each leaf. This refined floral accent feels perfectly at home on a groom's lapel for a ceremony near Dulwich Park or a prom evening at a local venue, its understated fragrance and elegant styling reflecting the thoughtful craftsmanship a Dulwich florist brings to small yet meaningful details.
WHITE ALSTROEMERIA GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A delicately crafted boutonniere rests at an angle on a warm, beige fabric that recalls the texture of natural linen often seen in period homes around Dulwich. Center stage is a single, fully opened white lisianthus bloom, its ruffled petals softly spiralling outwards in overlapping layers, like fine porcelain shaped by hand. The flower is creamy at its heart, brightening to crisp white at the edges, giving the whole piece a luminous, serene glow. Tucked just below and to the left, two slender lisianthus buds remain closed, their pale green and ivory forms suggesting new beginnings, much like a couple just starting their journey after a ceremony at a local Dulwich church. Scattered gracefully among the main flower and buds are tiny sprays of white gypsophila; the baby's breath forms a delicate halo of pinpoint blossoms that lightens the composition and adds a whisper of countryside romance. From behind the central bloom, slim, grass-like leaves sweep gently outwards, adding texture and a sense of movement, while a darker, broader green leaf provides a quiet, grounding backdrop. At the base, the stems are carefully bound together with a bright fuchsia pink satin ribbon tied in a small bow, the glossy knot catching the light and providing a cheerful pop of colour against the neutral textile. The photograph's soft, even lighting highlights every petal edge and curve, making this boutonniere look freshly prepared, ready to be pinned to a lapel at a wedding reception near Dulwich Park, where classic white florals and a playful hint of pink echo the joy of the day.
WHITE LISIANTHUS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A finely crafted boutonnière is laid out horizontally on a neutral, light beige linen fabric that has a subtle, woven texture, much like the table linens you might find at a stylish Dulwich wedding venue. The focal bloom is a pristine white Phalaenopsis orchid, its broad, velvety petals arranged in a graceful, symmetrical curve. At its centre, a soft wash of yellow and the lightest hint of pink trace the throat of the flower, lending depth and a sense of delicate intricacy. Around the base of the orchid, clusters of tiny baby's breath create a cloud-like collar of pure white, each minute bloom contributing to an airy, ethereal feel. Slim, glossy green leaves emerge from behind the flowers, providing a crisp contrast that hints at freshness and careful conditioning by an experienced florist. Just to one side, two small, lime-green orchid buds rest along a slender stem, still closed, suggesting the quiet anticipation of blooms yet to open. The stems of the flowers are gathered neatly and wrapped in a bright fuchsia satin ribbon, tied into a small, tidy bow whose sheen catches the light. This vibrant ribbon injects a joyful burst of colour, suggesting celebration and romance without overwhelming the gentle composition. The light in the scene is soft and even, highlighting every curve of the orchid petals and every tiny sphere of baby's breath while maintaining a calm, intimate mood. The arrangement feels perfect for a groom or groomsman stepping out onto the leafy streets around Dulwich Village or West Dulwich for a timeless, elegant ceremony.
WHITE ORCHID GROOM BOUTONNIERE
£85.00
A refined white orchid boutonniere lies carefully placed on a light tan, woven fabric surface, whose subtle texture and oatmeal hue offer a warm, neutral canvas. The main bloom is a flawless Phalaenopsis orchid, its petals broad, creamy white, and slightly glossy, curling gently outward as though in a soft exhale. At the centre, hints of pale yellow and ivory draw the eye inward, adding depth and a gentle glow that suggests freshness, as if the flower was just conditioned by an experienced florist. Encircling the orchid, a mist of white baby's breath forms a delicate frame: dozens of tiny gypsophila blossoms dot the air like fine lace, softening the contours of the single bold bloom. Interwoven among these are slender threads of vibrant green foliage, likely a light, airy fern, their feathery texture echoing the natural greenery you might see along the paths in Dulwich Park. The stems of the flowers and foliage are neatly aligned and wrapped in a bright white satin ribbon, pulled snug to create a slim, smooth handle, then finished with a small, tidy bow that speaks of patient craftsmanship. Gentle, diffuse lighting reveals the satin's faint sheen and the linen-like backdrop's weave, enhancing the contrast between the crisp whites and living greens. The boutonniere feels poised and ready-an elegant accent for a groom's lapel at a Dulwich Village wedding, or for a formal celebration in one of the area's historic venues. Its simple palette and careful detailing convey purity, quiet joy, and a sense of thoughtful preparation for a meaningful occasion.
WHITE ORCHID GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
A classic wedding boutonniere is displayed at a gentle angle on a neutral, light beige fabric that resembles natural linen, the weave subtly visible like the textured walls of a Dulwich Village townhouse. At its heart, a single creamy white rosebud forms the focal point, the petals tightly cupped yet soft and full, suggesting a bloom cut at just the right moment of freshness. Around this central rose, delicate sprays of white baby's breath spill lightly to one side, their myriad tiny blossoms resembling a soft, airy mist that gives the design a dreamy, romantic character. Slim, dark green leaves and a few feathery, fern-like sprigs frame the composition, bringing depth and movement, as though the boutonniere has just been gathered from a quiet garden off Court Lane. The stems are expertly wrapped in a gleaming white satin ribbon, smooth and clean, with a small, carefully tied bow sitting just beneath the flower head, emphasising precision and the steady hands of an experienced florist. Soft, even lighting falls across the scene, gently picking out the curve of each petal, the fine structure of the gypsophila, and the glossy sheen of the foliage, while casting the faintest shadow against the woven cloth. The boutonniere feels small yet significant, evoking the tremor of anticipation before a ceremony - ideal for a groom, best man, or guest attending a refined celebration in Dulwich, Herne Hill, or near the leafy paths of Belair Park.
