CHEAP FLOWERS
Against a clear white background, this mixed bouquet appears as a vibrant, rounded cluster of fresh flowers, the sort of cheerful arrangement you might have delivered to a home or office in Plaistow E13. At the centre are several standout roses with bi-colour petals, shifting from sunny golden yellow at their tightly formed hearts to deeper orange and subtle reddish-orange at the outer edges, creating a warm, almost glowing effect. Around and between these roses are plenty of white daisy-style chrysanthemums with distinctive lime-green centres, their crisp petals radiating outward in tidy circles that lend a clean, uplifting feel to the design. Threaded among them are compact heads of magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, richly saturated and densely petalled, each bloom finished with a yellow-green centre that ties them visually to the daisies. Deep green foliage, likely ruscus or similar greenery, frames and supports the blossoms, its smooth leaves adding both contrast and a sense of fullness, much like the small pockets of green you find scattered between Plaistow's terraces and local parks. The flowers are gathered tightly into a balanced, dome-shaped form, creating a sense of abundance without appearing overdone. At the bottom, a tidy cluster of stems is clearly visible, cut cleanly and bound together, suggesting freshness and the careful work of an experienced florist. The mood of the bouquet is bright and celebratory, perfect for sending congratulations, marking an anniversary near Plaistow Park, or simply bringing a burst of colour and fragrance into someone's kitchen or living room.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
There is a serene, English-cutting-garden quality to this loose, hand-tied bouquet, described here as if I were taking it out the shop door on a bright morning in Plaistow. The composition centers on pale blush roses-soft, pillowy heads that suggest quiet romance-balanced by sprays of tiny white blossom that float like confetti through the design. Interspersed among the roses are bright white, bead-like berries that add a crisp, modern punctuation, while dusty eucalyptus leaves create a soft, blue-green backdrop with their rounded shapes and cooling scent. Small, deeper pink and burgundy accents nestle close to the roses, lending shadow and visual depth that prevents the palette from feeling one-dimensional. Taller, slender spikes of green and white flowers, echoing the form of snapdragons, give the bouquet gentle height and a slightly architectural edge. The stems are bound with a cream satin ribbon, tied simply to emphasize the tactile pleasure of the stems - the velvet of petals against the fresh, waxy greenery. Light spills softly across the arrangement, catching the silvery tones of the eucalyptus and the sheen of the ribbon, creating an overall effect that is both soothing and quietly uplifting. Perfect for a new home on a Plaistow street, a thoughtful get-well gesture, or a midday surprise delivered to friends near Plaistow station, this bouquet speaks of careful selection, seasonal freshness and a calm, confident design hand.
FLORIST CHOICE £50
£50.00
I arranged this bouquet to marry a refined calm with a spirited dash of colour, the sort of design I would place by the window of my Plaistow shop on an early spring morning. Creamy white roses - their layered petals tight at the heart and unfurling with a soft, pillowy texture - give the arrangement a quietly regal base and a gentle, familiar scent that suggests letter-writing and afternoon tea. Punctuating that calm are vivid purple-pink Gerbera daisies; each bold, cheerful face opens like a small sun, its densely packed petals surrounding a dark, intricate centre that adds contrast and energy. Interspersed throughout, alstroemeria (Peruvian lilies) echo the gerberas' tone but introduce filigreed detail: trumpet-shaped blooms streaked with darker veins and speckles that catch the eye when you lean in. The bouquet is densely packed and carefully balanced, finished with glossy green foliage - varied leaf shapes that create light and shadow, lending movement and support to the rounded silhouette. A subtle hint of a clear glass vase shows at the very bottom, grounding the arrangement while the clean white background makes the magentas and creams sing. The overall impression is one of freshness and thoughtful craft: a bouquet designed to brighten a Plaistow home for a birthday, to offer comfort after a hospital visit, or to stand as an elegant centrepiece on a dining table. I imagine the scent of roses softened by cool green stems and the visual cheer of Gerberas that simply invite a smile.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
Set against a bright white backdrop, this maternity-themed bouquet appears as a joyful burst of colour, much like the cheerful energy around Plaistow Road on a sunny day. Large fuchsia pink gerbera daisies form the main focal points, each bloom a perfect disk of fine, radially arranged petals around a dark central eye that adds depth and drama. Between them, pastel pink roses nestle closely, some tightly furled as if just beginning to unfold, others gently opening to reveal whorls of velvety, overlapping petals. Threaded among the larger flowers are sprigs of small purple filler blooms, adding a diffused, misty texture and a subtle lavender hue that softens the bold pinks. A surrounding frame of greenery - long, elegant leaves mixed with rounder, glossier foliage - gives the bouquet shape and a sense of freshness, reminiscent of the modest garden patches and green corners scattered through Plaistow's terraced streets. The flowers are gathered into a smooth, domed silhouette, then wrapped generously in layers of pink tissue paper, the edges lightly crinkled and flared to create a delicate, petal-like collar. Over this, a layer of clear cellophane adds a reflective sheen, catching the light and emphasising the arrangement's gift-like character. Anchored near the base is a round fuchsia foil balloon decorated with bright white polka dots. Across the face of the balloon, the words "Mum to Be!" flow in white script, complemented by a petite heart design tucked between the lettering. The composition feels both playful and deeply affectionate, a hand-tied bouquet ideal for marking a baby shower in a Plaistow home, celebrating a pregnancy announcement, or sending thoughtful well-wishes to an expectant parent.
MUM TO BE
£60.00
A lush, elegant hand-tied bunch celebrating white-on-green simplicity, photographed upright against a neutral white backdrop so every detail reads clearly. The arrangement centers on generous clusters of pristine white chrysanthemum blooms-each daisy-like head made of many narrow petals fanning from a sunny yellow eye-giving an immediate impression of freshness and goodwill. Interspersed between those cheerful heads are several long, pale green-yellow lily buds, some faintly striped, their closed forms suggesting a future opening that promises a subtle, clean scent. Scattered throughout are cloud-like sprays of gypsophila (baby's breath), whose tiny white flowers knit the composition together and soften its lines. Rich, dark green foliage provides sculpted contrast and depth, cupping the blooms and emphasizing their crisp whiteness. The bouquet is wrapped in a tactile layer of crinkled brown kraft paper that reads as earthy and hand-finished, then protected by clear glossy cellophane; the base is neatly gathered and tied, forming a stable, portable stand for carrying. Under gentle, diffused light the petals and leaves show a soft sheen, and the overall effect is calming and refined. As a local touch, this style is one we make often for customers around Plaistow station and the Memorial Recreation Ground-Florist Plaistow prepares it with attention to texture and balance, suitable for a thoughtful birthday, a welcome-new-baby, a quiet condolence, or a fresh get-well bouquet delivered across the E13 area.
PURE ELEGANCE
£65.00
A lush, rounded floral arrangement in a sleek white cube box fills the frame, standing against a bright white background that lets the colours shine. The bouquet is densely packed, almost cushion-like, with golden yellow chrysanthemums and clusters of petite yellow spray roses creating a warm, sunlit centre. Interlaced between these are crisp white daisy chrysanthemums with lime-green centres and cloud-soft white mums, their layered petals giving a sense of volume and gentle movement, as if the blooms have just opened that morning. Vivid fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums curve through the design like brushstrokes, some petals fading softly into pink, adding a lively, playful contrast to the yellows and whites. Deep green foliage, likely sturdy ruscus leaves, peeks out at the edges and among the flowers, their glossy surfaces and strong shapes helping to frame the colourful blossoms. The white box container sits solid and square, a contemporary alternative to a traditional vase, reminiscent of the modern townhouses and flats dotted around Plaistow and along the Greenway. This arrangement feels bright and approachable, ideal for same-day flower delivery to a friend celebrating a new job, a neighbour in need of cheering up, or a family gathering near Plaistow Park. Though the background is plain, the careful balance of colour, texture, and height suggests the practiced hand of a local florist who understands what looks good on a dining table, office desk, or windowsill overlooking the streets of E13.
SPARKLING EYES
£50.00
A lush bouquet of chrysanthemums in shades of white, cream, and bright lime green fills the frame, set against a clean white background that makes every nuance of petal and foliage visible. The flowers are gathered into a rounded, hand-tied arrangement that feels both carefully crafted and wonderfully natural, like something you might carry home from a favourite Plaistow florist after strolling along Greengate Street. Broad-headed chrysanthemums dominate the bouquet, their many layers of soft, slightly curved petals opening outward from pale green centres, creating a billowy, cloud-like effect in gentle whites and creamy tones. Threaded between these are sprays of miniature, daisy-like chrysanthemums, each with slim, tidy petals and fresh green hearts, bringing an airy lightness and a slightly more playful character. Dotting the composition are numerous bright lime green pompon chrysanthemums, perfectly round and densely textured, adding bold pops of colour and a modern twist that keeps the design from feeling too traditional. Dark, glossy green leaves sit low in the arrangement, just visible between the blooms, providing subtle depth and reminding you of freshly cut stems and the cool scent of greenery. At the base, the straight, trimmed stems are tightly gathered and wrapped in a wide lime green satin ribbon, tied into a smart, multi-looped bow whose sheen catches the light and mirrors the vivid green flowers above. The overall impression is soothing yet uplifting, ideal as a thoughtful gift for a new baby, a get-well gesture for someone in the local area, or a peaceful centrepiece for a small gathering at home near Plaistow station or West Ham Park, conveying renewal, serenity, and gentle joy.
