Set against a clean white backdrop, this rounded hand-tied bouquet looks as if it has just been finished by a skilled Old Ford florist, every stem thoughtfully placed. Dominating the composition are large hot pink roses, fully open and velvety, their layered petals forming sumptuous whorls of colour that immediately draw the eye. Around them, lime green spider chrysanthemums stretch out in fine, spidery filaments, the chartreuse tones bringing an energetic, almost zesty brightness to the design. Deep indigo and royal purple lisianthus blooms, some tightly budded and others unfurled into delicate, bell-like flowers, add depth and a quietly luxurious feel, reminiscent of evening shadows over the streets around Old Ford Road. Scattered through the bouquet, sunny yellow gerbera-style daisies beam with cheerful warmth, evoking weekend strolls to nearby markets and gatherings with friends. A single cream-to-pale-yellow rose bud peeks through the brighter flowers, its tightly wrapped petals creating a gentle contrast and hinting at new beginnings. Fine clusters of soft lavender or blush-toned filler flowers, along with slim, upward-reaching green and white buds, bring a natural, garden-like looseness, as though freshly gathered from a well-tended East London plot. The flowers rest in a cradle of lush foliage: broad, smooth dark leaves, airy fern fronds, and eucalyptus-style stems that lend both structure and a feeling of freshness. The bouquet radiates joy, gratitude, and celebration, perfect for marking birthdays, promotions, new homes, or simply sending a colourful surprise with local delivery across Old Ford and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
GARDEN STROLL
£49.00
This sophisticated bouquet, carefully composed by Old Ford Florist near the vibrant Mile End and Hackney Wick, embodies a harmonious symphony of colour and texture against a pristine white canvas. The arrangement's heart is formed by grand hydrangea heads, awash in gradients of deep indigo, peacock teal, and subtle purple, their multi-faceted petals reminiscent of the lush gardens lining Regent's Canal. Nestling in between, roses unfold in soft lavender-soothing and fragrant-as well as timeless creamy white, their layers unfurling with quiet elegance. The bouquet's textural richness is amplified by plump white ranunculus, giving the composition a plush, almost tactile feel. Slender shoots of pale yellow lisianthus peek through, their buds and half-open blooms inviting a fresh zest. Among the star blooms, smaller accents of fuchsia-pink flowers twine gracefully, adding bursts of lively colour, while wispy pale pink astilbe softens the outlines, making the ensemble feel light and romantic. Delicate clusters of lacy green and white filler blossoms provide a gentle, intricate foundation. A medley of dark, glossy foliage frames and elevates the arrangement's colours. Bound at the base, the stems are neatly finished with a luxurious royal purple satin ribbon, a final artistic flourish that harmonizes beautifully with the bouquet's cool palette. Imbued with sentiments of joy, love, and grace, this bouquet is ideal for marking milestones or lending elegance to a cherished celebration in the heart of Old Ford.
TIMELESS VICTORIAN
£57.00
A generous, rounded bouquet fills the frame against a pure white backdrop, its colours so vivid they seem to glow, like a burst of sunshine on a clear day in Old Ford. Dominating the arrangement are joyful yellow tones: classic yellow roses, perfectly shaped with softly spiralling petals, sit alongside plump chrysanthemums and smaller daisy-like flowers that spread their brightness through every corner of the design. Threaded between these are striking orange gerbera daisies, their wide, flat petals and contrasting centres creating a playful, modern feel reminiscent of vibrant market flowers along nearby Roman Road. Deep purple lisianthus weave gently through the warm palette, their layered, satin-like petals curling inwards as if caught in a gentle breeze, while occasional lilac buds and creamy white accents bring subtle lightness and balance. Popping out from the warm hues are lime-green button chrysanthemums, their rounded, textured forms adding a crisp, almost zesty freshness that echoes the greenery of Victoria Park. Scattered throughout, clusters of shiny red hypericum berries lend a festive, almost berry-wreath quality, suggesting celebration, gratitude, or an important life moment like an anniversary or promotion. The bouquet is cushioned on a base of glossy, dark green foliage, probably Ruscus and similar leaves, with fine, spiky blades of ornamental grass rising up to give the design movement and height. Each stem appears carefully positioned yet relaxed, creating a sense of effortless abundance that feels both polished and natural. Tied securely at the base, this hand-tied bouquet looks ready for same-day delivery across Old Ford, bringing a wave of colour and happiness to a kitchen table, office desk, or cosy living room.
TROPICAL SENSATION
£59.00
Captured against a bright white background, this round, hand-tied bouquet radiates softness and romance, as if freshly prepared in a local Old Ford workshop before heading out for same-day delivery. The eye is first drawn to the creamy white and ivory roses, fully open with generous, spiralling petals that form luxurious cups of colour at the centre of the design. Nestled around them are clusters of small pink spray roses, some just beginning to unfurl, others more open, lending a charming, garden-like feel and subtle variations of blush and rose-pink. A few vibrant pink gerbera daisies punctuate the arrangement, their broad, flat petals framing dark central disks that anchor the palette and introduce a modern, upbeat note. Soft, ruffled carnations in a light, powdery pink tone add volume and a comforting, textured layer reminiscent of traditional East London cottage gardens. Between these main blooms sit slim-petalled white alstroemeria, their inner petals delicately streaked and speckled in fine reddish-brown, which adds an intricate, almost painterly detail. Sprays of white baby's breath weave through the bouquet like a mist, creating a sense of air and movement so the flowers appear to float together rather than simply sit side by side. Touches of fresh green foliage and neatly aligned stems at the base ground the pastel colours and emphasise the florist's careful craftsmanship. The bouquet feels perfect for celebrating a new baby in one of the modern flats overlooking the Hertford Union Canal, sending gentle sympathy, or simply brightening a friend's home off Old Ford Road with a heartfelt, timeless gift of fresh flowers.

MESMERIZING HARMONY 1
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
A sumptuous, theatre-worthy arrangement of nearly sixty plush red roses captures the heart at first glance, set crisply against a dazzling white backdrop reminiscent of morning light filtering through the windows of a classic Old Ford townhouse. The roses themselves cascade in a lush, domed formation, creating the sensation of a blossoming garden gathered in perfect symmetry. Each petal, rich with shades from ruby to burgundy, feels almost luminous, holding tightly to their centers before gradually spiraling outward. The occasional glimpse of vibrant, dark green foliage beneath and between the blooms hints at the careful attention to balance and form-an artistry long cherished in local Old Ford floral shops. At the base, the bouquet is gathered and adorned with a luxurious satin ribbon in matching red, tied into an elaborate bow whose trailing ends offer a final note of celebration and style. This architectural masterpiece is infused with the intoxicating scent of fresh roses, conjuring the serenity of an early morning stroll along the Hertford Union Canal. An ideal gift from Old Ford Florist for anniversaries, grand romantic gestures, or commemorating life's most cherished milestones, this bouquet carries with it both tradition and contemporary flair, a symbol of deep affection and the vibrant romance found throughout the community.
RED EXUBERANCE
£299.00
Arranging this bouquet in Old Ford's gentle morning light, I am drawn to the way blush-toned gerberas and delicate pink roses interact-a dance of colour much like the interplay of sun and shadow along the Regent's Canal. The soft hues of pink blend seamlessly, washed lightly across the petals like a watercolour memory, while bold spikes of deep purple statice add a pleasing punctuation and energy. Each leaf is vibrant with dewy freshness, its cooling green base calming and grounding the expressive blooms that reach overhead. Framed by an understated glass vase, the overall impression is both airy and abundant-akin to a spring morning's optimism drifting through open windows. These flowers invite you in, their dewdrop freshness and radiant tones promising comfort and cheer. Whether intended as a luminous get-well gesture or a graceful accent for a living room near Old Ford Road, this arrangement embodies skilled craftsmanship and the joy of giving something truly beautiful, crafted for neighbours by someone who knows the neighbourhood's unique charm.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
Captured against a crisp, uncluttered white background, this flower hatbox looks like a modern jewel of colour and romance. The container itself is a sleek black round box with a fine red band at its base, giving the impression of a designer accessory one might spot in a boutique near Roman Road Market. Bursting from the top, a lavish dome of roses completely conceals the opening of the box, so the blooms appear almost weightless, as if they are gently spilling upwards. Deep red roses, lush and velvety, stand out immediately, their rich tone suggesting heartfelt devotion. Around them, clusters of blush pink, fuchsia, peach, apricot, cream, and soft lavender roses are threaded with care, each shade blending smoothly into the next, creating a painterly, ombré effect. Some blossoms are generous and fully unfurled, their petals layered like silk ruffles, while smaller spray roses and younger buds tuck into the gaps, bringing dimension and that just-picked-from-the-market freshness. Fine green foliage, possibly eucalyptus or fern-like leaves, emerges in slim lines, offering cool, refreshing contrast and helping to define the curve of the arrangement. The lighting is bright yet gentle, showing off the natural sheen of the petals without harsh glare. This design feels both indulgent and inviting, like a bouquet meant for a candlelit dinner in Old Ford, a thoughtful thank-you for a friend near Hackney Wick, or a grand romantic gesture delivered the same day to a flat overlooking the canal. As a florist, the balance of colour, shape, and texture here reflects meticulous craftsmanship and a deep understanding of how roses speak to the heart.

This image shows a richly detailed, hand-tied bouquet set against a clean white background, allowing every colour and texture to stand out clearly. At its centre, large garden roses in shades of blush pink, dusty mauve, and antique rose open gracefully, each swirl of petal creating a sense of calm romance. Ruffled carnations surround them, their petals softly layered from creamy nude and pale blush to deeper rosy edges, adding volume and a slightly nostalgic, vintage feel. Threaded through these warm tones are striking notes of deep indigo and royal blue, including a prominent anemone with a dark, inky centre and several tight tulip-like buds, bringing dramatic contrast like patches of shadowed sky over the canals around Old Ford. Pale lilac and lavender stock stems rise delicately above the rounded shapes, their clusters of tiny blooms adding lightness and a hint of gentle fragrance that you can almost imagine perfuming a quiet kitchen or living room. Silvery eucalyptus leaves mingle with darker, glossy foliage, their cool green tones balancing the richer colours and suggesting that crisp, fresh aroma familiar to anyone who loves seasonal flowers. The stems are neatly gathered and bound at the base, clearly showing this is a freshly prepared, hand-crafted bouquet, ready for delivery across Old Ford. The overall mood is soothing yet expressive, ideal for celebrating a birthday, sending congratulations, or offering comfort - a bouquet that seems designed to bring a moment of stillness and beauty into everyday East London life.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
This Easter hatbox design feels like spring has been gathered by hand and arranged with care by a local Old Ford florist who knows how precious the first bright days of the season can be. Center stage is a generous light pink Gerbera daisy, facing forward as if smiling, its many soft petals fanning out around a cool green centre. It is surrounded by a halo of lemon and sunshine-yellow chrysanthemums, each bloom open and radiant, echoing the brightness of morning light over nearby Victoria Park. Coral-orange carnations are woven through the yellow, their fringed petals stacked in soft whorls that add a cosy, tactile richness. Dotted between them, deep violet-purple lisianthus buds and flowers appear like little pockets of shadow and mystery, giving the whole design depth and a slightly more refined edge. Fresh greenery in different shapes and tones, including sprigs with fine variegation along their edges, threads through the flowers and peeks out at the base, softening every line and making the arrangement look lush and complete. All the blooms are gathered into a pastel lime yellow-green cylindrical hatbox, its smooth sides decorated with playful pastel Easter eggs in baby blue, pale pink, white, and soft mint, some patterned with dainty spots and fine stripes. Set against a clean white background, the colours seem to glow, making this piece ideal as an Easter centrepiece, a cheerful gift sent to a friend in Old Ford, or a bright accent on a windowsill overlooking the canals, bringing the promise of new beginnings indoors.

In this image, a lush mixed bouquet rises proudly from a simple clear glass vase, the composition glowing against a pure white background so that every colour and texture stands out. Deep red roses create a passionate core, their velvety petals unfurling in tight, layered spirals that feel both classic and comforting. Nestled close by, a pair of golden yellow gerbera daisies with dark brown-orange centres lend a burst of sunshine, their broad, flat faces almost smiling toward the viewer in the same open, friendly way neighbours greet one another around Roman Road. Enveloping these stars, soft pink and lilac daisies or chrysanthemums spill outward, each bloom formed of many slender petals framing a small yellow centre, giving the whole bouquet a light, feathery volume. Dotted throughout are slender stems of purple and lavender lisianthus; their bell-shaped, gently folded blossoms bring a refined elegance and a cool tone that balances the warmth of the roses and gerberas. Adding an unexpected twist, bright red hypericum berries peek out between the petals, tiny, polished spheres that create delightful contrast and a tactile, almost berry-hedge charm. A rich assortment of greenery-broad, dark leaves and airy, pale green shoots-cradles the flowers, providing structure and a fresh, just-cut feeling, like foliage gathered from the edges of nearby parks. The transparent vase reveals the carefully aligned stems immersed in clear water, evidence of thoughtful, professional floristry. The overall mood is one of relaxed celebration, a bouquet perfectly suited for birthdays, congratulations, or simply sending a moment of colour and joy to someone in Old Ford.
FRESH SCENT
£43.00
An elegant, round hatbox of flowers sits perfectly centred against a pristine white background, the kind of arrangement you might imagine arriving at a stylish Old Ford townhouse near the Hertford Union Canal. The container is a delicate, light pink cylinder with a smooth, velvety finish, encircled by a narrow coral-red satin ribbon that crosses at the front in a neat bow. A small, cream-coloured gift tag with soft green lettering dangles from the bow, hinting at a personal message tucked into the delivery. Above the rim of the hatbox, the bouquet swells into a generous, domed cluster of pastel blooms and fresh greenery. Dominating the eye is a sumptuous rose in full bloom, its petals washed in pale blush at the edges and deepening to a more intense pink curl at the centre. Around it, crisp white chrysanthemums with vibrant yellow-green centres create a sense of clarity and brightness, like a burst of daylight over Old Ford Road. Slender stems of white alstroemeria weave through the design, their trumpet-like flowers marked with fine speckles that draw the gaze closer. Interspersed pockets of deeper pink flowers, possibly spray roses or lisianthus, lend depth and contrast, echoing the romantic notes of the central rose. Nestled among the blossoms is a carefully chosen mix of foliage: round, silvery eucalyptus leaves, darker green fillers, and little sprigs tipped with tiny buds that give an organic, almost freshly picked feel. The overall effect is one of softness and quiet luxury, a modern take on traditional flower gifting that would feel just as at home on a café table off Parnell Road as on a bedside in a nearby Victorian terrace, perfect for marking heartfelt occasions with a gentle yet polished flourish.

Central to the bouquet are several open roses, their petals unfolding from a sunny golden yellow heart into more intense orange shades, with soft touches of red at the very edges, evoking both comfort and excitement. Around them, numerous white daisy-like chrysanthemums lend lightness and clarity, their clean petals encircling vivid lime-green centres that sparkle like tiny beacons. Nestled thoughtfully among these are clusters of smaller magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, with tightly packed petals forming cushioned spheres of colour, each one finished with a yellow-green centre that subtly echoes the daisies. Dark, glossy foliage emerges between the blossoms, adding depth and contrast, much like the greenery you might glimpse around Victoria Park or the towpaths of nearby Hackney Wick.

A luxuriously full birthday bouquet, tied by hand and placed against a clean white background, fills the frame with shades of pink, lavender, and fresh green that feel as calm and welcoming as an afternoon stroll through Old Ford's quiet streets. The focal point is a trio of large blush pink hydrangea heads, their masses of small, velvety petals tightly packed to create soft, rounded domes that invite the fingertips. Nestled among them are soft pink roses in varying stages of bloom, from tightly furled buds to open, layered rosettes, each spiral of petals hinting at the slow unfolding of a birthday wish. Tiny clusters of vivid fuchsia waxflowers, or similar petite blossoms, are scattered throughout the arrangement, their miniature blooms and fine stems weaving an intricate texture between the larger flowers. Rising gently above and between the pinks are bell-shaped campanula in lilac and periwinkle tones, their graceful, upward-facing trumpets catching an invisible light, like wildflowers leaning towards the sky over the towpaths near the River Lea. A generous collar of lush greenery, with both broader leaves and slender, arching stems, frames the bouquet and adds a sense of freshness, as if just gathered from a well-tended garden. The neatly aligned stems at the base clearly show the hand-tied craftsmanship, ready to slip straight into water. Beside the stems, to the lower right, a round foil "Happy Birthday" balloon shimmers softly.

A generous hand-tied bouquet of roses fills the frame from edge to edge, set against a bright white backdrop that makes every colour glow. The design is densely packed, forming a rounded dome where no single rose dominates, but instead a harmonious chorus of hues appears, like a festive gathering after market day near Roman Road in Old Ford. Deep red and burgundy roses provide the romantic heart of the composition, their petals velvety and layered, while vivid orange and warm coral blooms add a lively, almost sunset-like energy. Scattered among them, bright yellow roses bring a carefree note of friendship and optimism, and soft blush pinks mingle with bolder fuchsia and magenta tones to suggest affection and joy. Cream and ivory roses are placed thoughtfully throughout, their quieter tones giving the eye somewhere to rest. Each flower head is at a slightly different stage of opening, from tight buds hinting at future beauty to fully expanded blossoms revealing intricate spirals at the centre. Dark green leaves nestle between the roses and gather around the base, providing a rich natural frame. Beneath the vibrant crown of flowers, the straight green stems are tightly bound with a cheerful green and white checked ribbon, the gingham pattern adding a touch of rustic charm, as if the bouquet had just been wrapped by a local Old Ford florist for a doorstep delivery. The lighting is clear and gentle, without harsh shadows, highlighting the smoothness of the petals and suggesting the soft, classic scent that rises from a freshly arranged rose bouquet perfect for milestones, thank-yous, or just-because moments across East London.
