CHEAP FLOWERS
A vibrant mixed bouquet fills the frame against a spotless white background, allowing the colours to leap forward with the same lively energy you might feel walking through Herne Hill on a bright market day. The flowers are carefully massed into a rounded, almost globe-like shape, each stem placed with intention so that the blooms nestle together in a rich, continuous tapestry. Dominating the eye are several large, fully open roses with bi-coloured petals that transition from a sunny, bright yellow heart to warm orange and a whisper of reddish-orange at the outer edges, giving the impression of glowing embers. Between them, white daisy-like chrysanthemums provide a cool, refreshing counterpoint. Their smooth, slightly curved petals surround striking lime-green centres that appear almost luminescent, bringing a crisp, modern freshness to the design. Punctuating the bouquet are clusters of deep magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, their tightly packed petals forming rounded, cushion-like heads with small yellow-green centres that harmonise with the daisies. These deeper tones add a jewel-like richness, reminiscent of colourful flower stalls near Herne Hill station. Slender stems of dark green foliage, possibly ruscus or a similar leaf, emerge between the blossoms, adding depth, structure, and a softly glossy texture that helps frame the brighter flowers. At the base, a neat bundle of greenish-brown stems is clearly visible, cleanly cut and tied, suggesting a freshly prepared, hand-tied arrangement ready for delivery across SE24. The overall impression is one of cheerful sophistication and heartfelt warmth, suitable for marking a new job, a housewarming near Brockwell Lido, or simply saying "thank you" in a vivid, memorable way.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
Soft blush roses form the heart of this hand-tied bouquet, their layered petals opening like small, romantic gardens. Bright white berries - reminiscent of snowberries or hypericum - are scattered throughout, catching the light and punctuating the pastel palette with crisp, luminous points. Delicate sprays of tiny white filler flowers weave between the roses, lending an ethereal, almost English-cottage feel, while dusty blue-green eucalyptus leaves create a cool, aromatic frame with their rounded, silvered shapes. Deeper pink and burgundy accents sit low in the composition, giving the arrangement gentle depth, and slender green-and-white flower spikes rise at the edges to suggest movement and formality without stiffness. The stems are neatly gathered and secured with a creamy ribbon, visible at the base, a small detail that nods to hand-tied craftsmanship. In soft daylight the bouquet reads as comforting and quietly joyful; I can almost smell the eucalyptus and the faint honeyed scent of the roses. This is the kind of bespoke selection we love to prepare at Herne Hill Florist for celebrations like housewarmings near Herne Hill station, anniversary surprises by Brockwell Park, or a simple, thoughtful get-well gesture. The overall impression is calm and refined, tactile in its contrasts and perfectly suited to be placed on an antique mantel or a kitchen table to brighten a room with natural elegance and considered local blooms.
FLORIST CHOICE £50
£50.00
I arranged this vivid bouquet to balance exuberance with a composed, elegant feeling - large magenta Gerbera daisies paired with creamy white roses and deep purple Alstroemeria, all set against a crisp white background. The Gerberas dominate with bold, fuchsia-leaning petals radiating from densely textured central discs; each one reads like an energetic focal point, lively and cheerful. Nestled between these are soft, creamy white roses whose layered petals unfurl in a quiet, fragrant spiral, bringing a classic, romantic counterpoint to the gerbera brightness. Sprays of Alstroemeria - the Peruvian lilies - add an exotic, painterly quality: trumpet-shaped blooms with subtle streaks and speckles of darker purple that catch the eye when you move closer. Glossy green foliage, composed of both broad and lance-shaped leaves, frames every bloom and contributes to the bouquet's generous, rounded profile; the leaves create a pleasing interplay of light and shadow under the studio lighting, while a clear glass vase is just visible at the very bottom, anchoring the composition. As a local florist in Herne Hill, I imagine this arrangement arriving to a flat near Brockwell Park or being chosen for a thoughtful anniversary along Herne Hill Road - it reads as both celebratory and tender. Available for local delivery across Herne Hill and nearby Dulwich, this bouquet radiates freshness, considered craftsmanship, and a versatile charm that suits birthdays, thank-yous, or simply brightening a home.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
A hand-crafted bouquet for an expectant mother is shown here against a pure white background, the colours and shapes singing with quiet happiness. At the core of the design are striking fuchsia gerbera daisies, each bloom formed from layered petals radiating around a deep, dark centre that draws the eye. Interlaced with these bold flowers are soft pink roses in differing stages of openness; some are small and tightly curled, while others have started to unfold into lush, velvety whorls that suggest nurturing warmth. Wisps of small purple filler flowers, likely statice or limonium, are scattered throughout, giving a misty, airy texture that softens the stronger colours. Fresh, bright green foliage adds structure and vibrancy, the varying leaf shapes and sizes evoking a sense of movement, as if freshly gathered from a garden near Herne Hill station or the edges of Brockwell Park. The bouquet is shaped into a rounded, balanced dome, then wrapped in layered pink tissue paper that creates a soft, ruffled collar around the stems. A smooth, clear cellophane finish catches gentle highlights, reinforcing that this is a ready-to-give gift for a baby shower, pregnancy announcement, or hospital visit. Nestled at the front is a round foil balloon in rich pink, edged with subtle scalloping and patterned with neat white polka dots. The words "Mum to Be!" are written across the centre in stylish white script, with a simple heart motif adding a final note of tenderness. Together, the flowers and balloon communicate joy, affection, and hopeful anticipation, an ideal choice for families in Herne Hill wishing to mark the journey toward new parenthood with something both beautiful and heartfelt.
MUM TO BE
£60.00
This bouquet celebrates the simple language of white and green: an abundant cluster of white, daisy-like chrysanthemums creates an open, cheerful base, each bloom defined by neat, layered petals around a soft yellow centre. Intermixed and rising above, pale green-tinged lily buds-some with faint longitudinal striping-introduce an elegant vertical rhythm and the promise of unfolding perfume in the days ahead. Sprays of delicate baby's breath (Gypsophila) breathe through the arrangement, their miniature blossoms forming soft, airy pockets that give the bouquet a gently clouded silhouette. Rich dark foliage provides depth and contrast, the glossy leaves cupping the flowers and accentuating the clarity of each white petal. Expertly hand-gathered, the stems are wrapped first in crinkled brown kraft paper for an organic, market-style feel, then encased in a glossy clear cellophane that lends a polished sheen and protects the blooms during short journeys-perfect for hand-delivery to neighbours on Norwood Road or a Sunday visit to the Herne Hill market. The tactile contrast between the paper's matte texture and the cellophane's smooth glint is part of the arrangement's charm, while the overall scent is mild and green, like grass after rain with a whisper of floral sweetness. This bouquet reads as sincere and versatile: a calm, elegant choice for a new home, a quiet celebration, or to offer sympathy, and it is composed with the kind of attentive craft you expect from a local florist familiar with Herne Hill's quieter, leafy corners.
PURE ELEGANCE
£65.00
In this photograph, a bright, dome-shaped floral arrangement is cradled in a crisp white square box, placed before a pure white backdrop that lets its colours sing. The bouquet is tightly packed, giving an impression of fullness and luxury, with no empty spaces between the blooms. Sunshine-yellow roses, some just beginning to open, nestle among generous yellow chrysanthemums whose many soft petals look almost feathery to the touch. These warm tones are cooled and balanced by clusters of white chrysanthemums, including smaller daisy-like heads with green centres and larger, fluffier blooms that add softness and airiness. Weaving through the yellows and whites are striking fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums, their rich berry hues adding depth and a playful edge, with hints of lighter pinks that keep the look bright rather than heavy. Scattered between the larger flowers are dainty rosebuds in blush pink and creamy yellow, offering subtle highlights and drawing the eye around the composition. At the base, polished dark green leaves form a natural collar, their smooth surfaces catching the light and framing the bouquet, much like tree foliage frames views around Herne Hill and the edges of Brockwell Park. The modern white cube container feels stylish yet understated, similar to the contemporary gift packaging you might see carried along Milkwood Road after a florist delivery. The overall impression is one of joyful celebration and thoughtful care, ideal for a birthday, a thank-you gesture, or simply to bring a burst of garden colour into a Herne Hill kitchen or studio on a grey day.
SPARKLING EYES
£50.00
A beautifully composed bouquet of chrysanthemums in white, cream, and lively lime green rests against a stark white background, capturing the look of a freshly finished design from a Herne Hill florist's bench. The bouquet is densely packed and rounded, with abundant large chrysanthemum heads forming its core. These blooms display layer upon layer of slender petals, transitioning from crisp white at the outer edges to softly creamy tones near their centres, which glow faintly in pale yellow or green. This layered texture creates a sense of softness and depth, as though you could sink your fingers into the cushion of petals. Threaded among them are sprays of smaller, daisy-like white chrysanthemums, their simple forms lending a relaxed, almost meadow-like character that might call to mind a walk up to Herne Hill station on a bright day. Punctuating the arrangement are vibrant lime green pompon chrysanthemums, each one a perfectly rounded cluster of short, tightly packed petals, adding both structure and a vivid burst of colour. Dark green foliage peeks from between the flowers, giving contrast and framing the lighter blooms so they stand out even more clearly. At the base, the stems are neatly aligned and firmly hand-tied, wrapped with a wide satin ribbon in matching lime green, finished in a generous, multi-looped bow that shines softly and echoes the cheerful pompons above. The bouquet's harmonious mix of crisp white, gentle cream, and fresh green feels tranquil yet quietly celebratory, suitable for sending thoughtful condolences, welcoming a new baby in Herne Hill, or simply bringing a cool, refreshing touch of nature into a home or office.
