RETIREMENT FLOWERS
Photographed against a clean white background, this rounded, hand-tied bouquet looks full and abundant, every flower carefully placed to create a balanced, uplifting display that would sit beautifully on a Plaistow dining table or windowsill. At the centre are several deep red roses, their petals densely layered and velvety, suggesting deep affection and memorable occasions shared with loved ones in the local community. Surrounding the roses is a generous ring of white daisy-like chrysanthemums, crisply defined with bright lime-green centres that add a touch of energy and contemporary charm. Threaded between the white blooms are soft pink to medium pink daisy chrysanthemums, each with the same vivid green centre, forming a gentle, harmonious interplay between the warm pinks and cool whites. Scattered delicately throughout are pale pink filler flowers that resemble waxflowers, their tiny clustered petals and thin stems introducing a fine, lace-like texture that softens and enriches the overall appearance. Lush green foliage fills the spaces between the flowers, broad, glossy leaves and lighter green sprigs framing the bouquet and echoing the greenery of nearby parks and gardens around Plaistow. The stems of the bouquet are gathered tidily below, cut straight and bound together in a classic hand-tied style, ready to be slipped into a favourite vase at home or delivered as a surprise to a friend along Barking Road. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the vivid colours and natural sheen of the petals. The overall impression is one of joy, comfort, and affection, suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, everyday celebrations, or sending gentle encouragement to someone special.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
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
HONEYMOON
HONEYMOON
£55.00
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.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
Set against a clean, bright white background, this bouquet looks as if it has just been lifted from a sunlit corner of a Plaistow garden and tied with care. At its heart sit several creamy white to pale yellow roses, fully open and plush, their petals curling inward in perfect spirals that draw the eye to the centre of the design. Surrounding them are rich clusters of magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, each bloom radiating from a bright yellow-green middle, giving the whole arrangement a lively, almost sparkling energy. Threaded between these bold tones are feathery sprays of tiny white daisy-like flowers, reminiscent of chamomile, their miniature yellow centres adding a gentle countryside charm that feels at home near places like Plaistow Park or along the quieter streets off Barking Road. A few smaller, darker purple-pink chrysanthemum buds are tucked deeper within the bouquet, creating layers of colour and suggesting that more flowers are yet to open. Deep green foliage and classic rose leaves provide a dense, textured base that supports and frames the blossoms, enhancing the sense of natural abundance. The stems are tightly gathered at the base and wrapped with a neat green and white checked ribbon, echoing the bouquet's fresh, informal yet carefully considered style. Soft, even lighting highlights the subtle sheen of petals and leaves, casting gentle shadows that reveal the round, full shape of the arrangement. The mood is bright and generous, making this an ideal gift for same-day delivery around Plaistow when you want to send warm congratulations, heartfelt thanks, or a simple burst of colour to brighten someone's day.
LOVELY DREAMER
£50.00
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A lush hydrangea bouquet sits alone against a pure white backdrop, its rounded silhouette and tranquil palette of white, blue, and green evoking a quiet moment of fresh air after rain on a Plaistow side street. At its heart, a prominent sphere of creamy white hydrangea blooms forms the focal point, with tightly packed petals creating a velvety, cloud-like surface that looks almost weightless. Framing this centre, full heads of soft sky blue hydrangeas rise towards the upper left and right, their petals layered in gentle ruffles, reminiscent of the soft blues found in spring skies above the Greenway or Memorial Recreation Ground. Tucked among them are lime-green hydrangeas, their lighter, almost chartreuse petals glowing with a fresh, youthful brightness near the lower left and upper right of the arrangement. The flowers are cradled by an abundant collar of foliage: rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves add cool, muted tones and a refined, aromatic presence, while deeper emerald leaves with a smoother, slightly pointed shape lend structure and richness, echoing the green canopies of local Plaistow gardens and tree-lined streets. Every stem is gathered neatly at the base, the hand-tied construction clearly visible, suggesting a bouquet freshly prepared and ready for delivery to a home near Barking Road or a small celebration in a local café. The lighting is soft and even, accentuating the natural gradients of colour within each petal and the subtle sheen of the leaves. This composition feels thoughtful and composed, ideal for birthdays, housewarmings, or as a calm, elegant centrepiece for intimate gatherings across Plaistow.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
Set against a crisp white background, this fresh, hand-tied bouquet appears as if it has just been lifted from a flower stand near Plaistow station and placed carefully for its photograph. At its heart cluster several open pink roses, their layered petals soft and velvety, each bloom carrying a gentle blush tone that suggests tenderness and affection. Threaded among the roses, bright yellow gerbera daisies with dark, chocolate-brown centres create a lively rhythm of colour, their bold discs radiating a sense of optimism and celebration. Stretching above the main body of the bouquet, tall stems of vivid blue delphiniums add cool vertical lines, their multiple florets forming a graceful column that balances the warmth of the pink and yellow flowers. Surrounding the blooms, a tapestry of greenery provides fullness and texture: delicate fern fronds spill lightly over the lower edges, while glossy, tropical-style leaves with subtle lighter stripes are folded and curved around the base, shaping a natural green collar that anchors the composition. Nestled throughout are dense tufts of bright, textured filler foliage, like tiny green pillows that give the bouquet depth and a slightly wild, garden-inspired feel. Slender, budded stems reach up from the top, hinting at new flowers still to open and adding a sense of movement. The stems are clearly visible at the bottom, gathered tightly and bound with a simple tie, unmistakably showing a hand-crafted mixed bouquet ready for same-day delivery around Plaistow. The overall design feels modern yet romantic, perfect for marking a milestone, sending encouragement, or brightening a living room in one of Plaistow's tree-lined streets.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
Against a crisp white background, this hand-tied bouquet looks like a little gallery piece, the sort of design a Plaistow florist might set in the shop window near the High Street to catch the evening light. The main impression is one of soft romance enriched with pockets of drama: generous garden roses open in layers of blush pink, muted mauve, and an antique rose tone, each petal slightly curled and velvety, as if inviting a gentle touch. Around them, a profusion of full, ruffled carnations creates a halo of texture, their petals transitioning from creamy, almost beige centres to blush pink and finally to deeper plum and fuchsia edges, like watercolour washes. Piercing this sea of pinks are deep indigo flowers, compact and tulip-like, which lead the eye toward a standout royal blue anemone at the front, its dark centre intense and almost inky, adding a modern edge. Slim, graceful stems of lilac and pale lavender stock weave upward, their small clustered blossoms giving the arrangement a soft vertical rhythm, reminiscent of the way evening clouds stack over West Ham Park. The bouquet is cradled in lush foliage: dark green rose leaves and cool, rounded eucalyptus in silvery green, suggesting a crisp, green aroma that would gently perfume a living room or dining table. The visible, bound stems at the bottom make it clear this is a freshly tied design, ideal for same-day delivery across Plaistow to celebrate a birthday, mark a new home, or quietly lift someone's spirits.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
As I compose this floral arrangement for a Plaistow customer, I'm enchanted by how blush-toned Gerberas blend seamlessly with classic pink roses, each bloom carefully unfurling to reveal layers resembling watercolour strokes against the soft morning light. Slender sprigs of deep violet statice add a pulse of vibrancy, punctuating the gentle pastels with their wild, uplifting energy-like colourful graffiti brightening the walls along Plaistow Road. Every leaf and stem remains cool and dewy, suggesting the freshness of flowers just delivered from the New Spitalfields Market. Arranged with lightness yet depth, the composition feels as rejuvenating as early walks through Plaistow Common-uplifting, serene, and full of hope. Set in an understated glass vase, the colours glow softly, calling you closer and offering comfort or celebration as the occasion demands. This bouquet, whether sent as a gesture of support, congratulations, or simply to add beauty to a home in the heart of E13, reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and warm, personal attention Florist Plaistow is known for throughout the local community.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
A richly detailed flower bouquet fills the frame against a spotless white background, every bloom carefully placed to create a sense of fullness and quiet luxury. Soft pink roses, some just beginning to unfurl and others open in generous rosettes, form the romantic core of the design. Their delicate petals blend shades of blush and pale cream, with a few blossoms edged in slightly deeper pink, suggesting the natural variation of garden roses grown in good light. Intertwined with them are large carnations in tones of dusty rose and mauve, their ruffled layers adding a plush, tactile quality that invites the eye to linger. Rising above and between these rounded forms, tall spires of deep lavender-blue veronica introduce a touch of drama, like graceful brushstrokes drawing the gaze upward. Rich purple lisianthus blooms, some open and some still in bud, nestle in the spaces between, while small, daisy-like lavender asters scatter a soft, starry texture throughout the bouquet. Around the flowers, feathery lime-green filler and silvery eucalyptus leaves create a fresh green halo, brightening the palette and giving the arrangement its lively, contemporary feel. The stems are cleanly gathered at the base, revealing this as a hand-tied bouquet, the kind a local florist might prepare for a special delivery to a Plaistow doorstep near West Ham Park. The arrangement feels modern yet romantic, ideal for marking a quiet milestone, sending congratulations, or simply adding a graceful burst of colour to a Plaistow living room or dining table.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
Vivid and inviting, this seasonal bouquet captures the joy of late summer afternoons wandering through Plaistow's green spaces. At the heart, large, sunlit-yellow sunflowers tilt their friendly faces outward, their dark centres providing comforting depth-a familiar sight reminiscent of community gardens in Plaistow. Surrounding them, sumptuous yellow roses open in swirling layers, their petals offering a soft, velvety texture that calls to mind the elegance of classic London floristry. Clusters of bright red hypericum berries pop against the rich greens, dots of cheer that add playful contrast to the palette. Fern fronds and wisps of goldenrod foliage create organic movement, their feathery structures cascading delicately to soften the overall design. Cool, bluish eucalyptus threads through the bouquet, introducing a subtle scent and silvery hue. All of these vibrant elements gather within a round, clear glass vase-like those gracing the tables of Plaistow cafés-revealing the submerged stems and sparkling water for a natural, pristine look. The bouquet is more than a visual treat; it's a multi-sensory celebration, recalling the lively air of Plaistow Market on a bright day. Ideal as a thoughtful gift or an uplifting centrepiece, this arrangement channels a mood of optimism and togetherness, perfectly capturing what it means to live and celebrate in E13.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
A glass vase brimming with Gerbera daisies sits luminously against a pure white background, its cheerful palette instantly evoking the dynamic spirit and neighborly warmth of Plaistow. The bouquet's radiant yellow, fiery orange, and bold magenta blooms are nestled tightly, each blossom featuring a contrasting central disc shaded in velvety brown-black. Lush greens peek through the arrangement, softening the vivid hues and conjuring up the gentle greenery found in local spots like the Memorial Recreation Ground. Rustic brown kraft paper, with its natural texture, wraps the bouquet, subtly peeking from beneath a glossy, clear cellophane layer that adds a protective sheen. The stems are visible through the crystal-clear water of the vase, a gentle twine bow securing a dangling gift tag with a delicate red rose sketch-a thoughtful detail reminiscent of meaningful exchanges at Plaistow's vibrant community gatherings. This composition is suffused with the feeling of gratitude and celebration, each color and petal reflecting moments of shared joy-perhaps given to congratulate a friend, welcome a new neighbor, or simply uplift a room. The interplay of soft petals, gleaming leaves, and elegant presentation together suggest the care and artisan touch of a florist who knows the heartbeat of Plaistow. This bouquet offers a sensory celebration-its lively colors, tactile textures, and refreshing sense of abundance inviting neighbors to revel in simple pleasures and heartfelt connections, perfectly suited for every occasion from everyday appreciation to milestone festivities.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
In this exquisite arrangement crafted by the skilled hands of Plaistow's finest local florists, the harmonious dance of colour and texture takes centre stage. Radiant roses, each bloom bursting with lifelike vibrancy, create a focal point that draws you into its embrace-a whirl of coral, peach, and deep pink petals that gently give way to highlights of cream and sunlit yellow at the centre. The bouquet's dome-like fullness echoes the abundance found in community spaces like Memorial Park, where nature's palette is always on display. Encircling these dazzling flowers is lush, dark green foliage-perhaps sprigs of eucalyptus or supple salal-imbuing the arrangement with depth, movement, and the faintest hint of woodland freshness. Laid nearby is a light-hued Thorntons 'Orange Crisp' chocolate pouch, its branding familiar to anyone fond of British confectionery, with detailed description calling out its tangy orange truffle centre and crispy wafer bits wrapped in creamy milk chocolate. Before the pouch, two elegantly rounded chocolates rest on the bright white surface, their glossy shells a promise of indulgence and delight. This set, so rich in both visual and sensory pleasure, seems made for those moments that deserve a little extra sweetness-whether celebrating a milestone, honouring a mother, or simply brightening someone's day in Plaistow. The artistry and heart imbued in this thoughtful pairing make it a favourite for discerning gift-givers seeking to spread joy throughout the neighbourhood.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
Captured in soft, natural light, this hand-tied floral arrangement sings with the character of Plaistow's vibrant community. Large globes of hydrangeas in layered shades of indigo, blue-green, and muted violet fill the bouquet's heart-each petal a tapestry of colour that recalls the lush borders along Barking Road. Nestled amongst these sculptural blooms, lilac and creamy white roses unfurl with a gentle grace, evoking a mood of timeless romance that local couples might choose for anniversaries or celebratory gatherings in neighborhood venues. Adding textural contrast are snowy ranunculus heads, their compact, fluttering petals playing against the soft yellow glow of lisianthus buds and partial blooms that offer a subtle hint of spring's renewal. Smaller, spirited accents thread throughout: clusters of vivid fuchsia and pink filler flowers-like the bright florals seen in Plaistow's weekly market stalls-mixed with airy, feathery astilbe plumes in blush tones. Intricate lacy green and white fillers bring a sense of depth and movement, reminiscent of meadow grasses swaying near Memorial Park. Glossy, deep green foliage is purposefully woven to frame each blossom, while the bouquet's stems come together in a sumptuous, wide purple satin ribbon for a final statement of luxury. Ideal as a meaningful gift or a striking centrepiece, this arrangement blends local artistry with the colours and scents of an East London season, fresh and thoughtfully crafted for same-day delivery across Plaistow.
