CHEAP FLOWERS
Set against an immaculate white backdrop, this mixed bouquet appears almost to float, its rounded, hand-tied shape filling most of the frame. The design is lush and abundant, with no empty spaces, just a seamless blend of colour and texture created by an experienced florist familiar with Upper Clapton's vibrant character. At the forefront, several fully opened roses catch the eye, their petals glowing with a gradient that begins as clear golden yellow at the centre and warms into fiery orange and gentle reddish notes at the outer edges. Around these focal blooms, a profusion of white daisy-like chrysanthemums opens out, each with a striking lime-green centre that gives a crisp, invigorating feel, reminiscent of a fresh walk through Millfields Park. Between the daisies, densely petalled magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums cluster in small groups, adding depth and a rich, velvety texture, their yellow-green cores mirroring the daisy centres to unify the palette. Dark green foliage, likely ruscus or similar leaves, is tucked artfully among the flowers, providing structure, contrast, and a hint of woodland freshness. The stems are gathered and visible at the base, neatly trimmed and aligned to show the care taken in crafting this hand-tied bouquet, ready to be placed in a vase in a kitchen or living room overlooking the Lea. The lighting is bright and even, accentuating each petal's curves and the subtle sheen of the greenery. Overall, the bouquet exudes happiness, appreciation, and quiet celebration, perfect for sending love, congratulations, or a simple "thinking of you" to someone in Upper Clapton.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
There is a considered calm to this hand-tied bouquet that I craft often for neighbours around Chatsworth Road and Clissold Park - soft blush roses take centre stage, each bloom layered with velvety petals that read as tender and refined. Interspersed among them are clusters of bright white berries that catch the eye like little pearls, and delicate sprays of tiny white flowers that scatter light and give the arrangement a wild, freshly-cut garden feeling. Hints of deeper pink or burgundy bud clusters add a shadowed depth, while tall, slender green-and-white spikes at the edges lend rhythm and height. Eucalyptus leaves in dusty blue-green fan out, their cool sheen and signature fragrance balancing the roses' warmth; you can almost sense the fresh, resinous note under the sweeter rose scent. The stems are gathered in a loose, hand-tied style finished with a soft cream ribbon, encouraging a natural silhouette rather than a rigid, formal shape. I imagine placing this on a neighbour's kitchen counter after picking up a loaf from the local bakery on Lower Clapton Road - it's equally suited to milestone birthdays, welcome-home bouquets, or a simple 'thinking of you'. Prepared with the same attention to texture and seasonality that patrons expect from Flower Delivery Upper Clapton, the bouquet reads as modest luxury when seen in diffused daylight, inviting touch and offering a quiet, uplifting presence in any home.
FLORIST CHOICE £50
£50.00
I designed this arrangement to pair composed elegance with a friendly, exuberant pop of colour you might spot on a bright morning in Upper Clapton. At the heart are creamy white roses, their layers of petals curling inward with a soft, almost cool fragrance that suggests freshly opened blooms from a nearby stall on Chatsworth Road. Intermingled generously are vivid purple-pink Gerbera daisies - their wide, sun-like faces and densely packed petals create an immediate sense of joy and presence. Scattered throughout, purple Alstroemeria (Peruvian lilies) lend fine, speckled detail: trumpet-shaped petals with tiny darker streaks that catch the eye when you lean in. Lush, glossy greenery frames each blossom, with a mix of broad leaves and slender, sword-like foliage giving the bouquet a balanced silhouette and a tactile, verdant lift. The blooms are arranged tightly into a rounded form and photographed against a clean white background so every hue-from the warm cream of the roses to the electric magenta of the Gerberas and the rich violet of the Alstroemeria-reads clearly and vibrantly. There is a freshness to the stems and a subtle interplay of light and shadow across the petals that evokes early daylight along Lea Bridge Road. This bouquet feels like a thoughtful pick-me-up for a neighbour, a modern addition to a spring celebration, or a carefully chosen gift to mark an anniversary or to say thank you to someone in the Upper Clapton community.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
Set against a clean white backdrop, this "Mum to Be" bouquet feels like a small celebration of new beginnings, the sort of arrangement that might be delivered by a local Upper Clapton florist for a baby shower afternoon. The design is rounded and abundant, with several bright fuchsia gerbera daisies taking centre stage. Their bold, daisy-like faces show deep, nearly black centres surrounded by symmetrical rings of vivid pink petals, each one crisp and slightly curved. Tucked among them are gentle pink roses, some still in tight bud form and others unfolding into layered blooms, their velvety petals creating a sense of softness and quiet luxury. Dancing between the larger flowers are airy sprigs of tiny purple filler blooms-likely statice-adding a mist of cool colour and a touch of wildflower charm. The bouquet is framed with rich green foliage, mixing narrow, linear leaves with more substantial, glossy ones that help give the arrangement depth and a natural flow, reminiscent of greenery found around Springfield Park. The stems are wrapped snugly in several layers of pink tissue paper, from light candy-pink to deeper shades, forming a flared, ruffled collar that enhances the bouquet's feminine and celebratory feel. An outer sheath of clear, shiny cellophane provides subtle reflections and protects the arrangement as it travels across Upper Clapton. Positioned in front of the base is a bright pink, round foil balloon with a softly scalloped edge, decorated all over with neat white polka dots. In elegant white script, the phrase "Mum to Be!" is written across the centre, with a sweet heart motif-a pink-outlined heart containing a smaller white heart-nestled between the words. The overall impression is one of joy, tenderness, and excitement for the baby on the way.
MUM TO BE
£60.00
Here the purity of white is celebrated with gentle confidence: a hand-tied bouquet arranged to feel both relaxed and considered, presented upright against a neutral white backdrop. The dominant gesture is a generous massing of crisp white, daisy-like chrysanthemums, each bloom composed of many narrow petals fanning out from a distinct yellow centre, creating a bright, reassuring presence. Interspersed among those cheerful heads are elongated lily buds in a soft green-yellow tone, some subtly striped, their tapered forms promising an elegant bloom in the near future and adding a quiet note of anticipation. Sprays of airy baby's breath (Gypsophila) weave through the larger flowers, their tiny white florets forming a delicate veil that lightens the bouquet's silhouette. Deep green foliage frames and supports the flowers, the glossy leaves offering contrast and depth that enhances the whiteness. The wrapping-an inner sheet of rustic, crinkled brown kraft paper and an outer layer of clear cellophane-gives both a market-born authenticity and a protective, glossy finish; the base is gathered and tied to form a neat, portable stand. The scent is understated and fresh, a hint of green grass after rain with a soft floral undercurrent, the kind of bouquet you might pick up after a morning stroll past Springfield Park or Chatsworth Road. Prepared for local delivery by Flower Delivery Upper Clapton, it suits occasions from gentle congratulations to quiet sympathy, carrying a composed tenderness that speaks without words.
PURE ELEGANCE
£65.00
A rounded, exuberant bouquet of mixed flowers is presented in a modern white cube box, set against a simple white backdrop that lets every petal take centre stage, much like a carefully styled window display in an Upper Clapton flower shop. The arrangement overflows with warm yellow blooms, notably plush chrysanthemums and small spray roses whose buds range from tightly furled to softly opening, their petals catching the light with a soft, satin sheen. Crisp white daisy-like chrysanthemums with distinct green centres are scattered generously throughout, joined by fuller white mums that lend a sense of airy brightness and balance the richer tones. Nestled among them, deep fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums bring a bold splash of colour, their many-petalled heads forming velvety cushions that draw the eye inward, with hints of lighter pink petals adding depth. Delicate pink and yellow rosebuds are tucked between the larger flowers, giving the design a sweet, almost hand-picked charm. Around the perimeter, dark green, glossy foliage fans out, anchoring the design and enhancing the freshness of the blossoms, as if just gathered from a garden near Springfield Park. The clean, white square box that serves as the container has a sleek, gift-ready look, making the bouquet feel both contemporary and heartfelt. Overall, the composition radiates cheer and optimism, a bright floral gift suitable for celebrations, thank-you gestures, or simply sending a burst of colour to someone in Upper Clapton who needs their day lifted.
SPARKLING EYES
£50.00
A full, rounded bouquet of chrysanthemums appears against a crisp white backdrop, every detail carefully composed to highlight its soothing palette of white, cream, and vivid green. Dominating the arrangement are open chrysanthemum heads in soft white and creamy off-white, their many fine petals radiating from subtle greenish centres that give each bloom a gentle glow. Nestled between them are masses of smaller white spray chrysanthemums, like tiny daisy bursts, stitching the larger flowers together into one seamless cushion of texture. Punctuating this calm surface are bright lime green pompon chrysanthemums, tight spheres of petals that provide a lively contrast, rather like fresh green apples scattered among clouds. Dark, glossy foliage threads through the bouquet, breaking up the paler tones and adding depth, much like the rich greens you might spot walking through Millfields Park on a clear morning. The stems are cleanly cut and gathered by hand, then tied with a lustrous lime green satin ribbon that forms a layered bow at the base, echoing the spherical mums above and giving the bouquet a polished, gift-ready finish. The soft, even lighting allows the whites to appear pure without harshness, enhancing the bouquet's calm, uplifting feel. Crafted with the quiet elegance typical of a local Upper Clapton florist, this arrangement would be fitting as a get-well gesture delivered to a nearby home, a thoughtful thank-you, or a serene tribute for a remembrance service, offering a message of hope, renewal, and gentle support.
