BASKETS / POSIES
There is a deliberate simplicity to this handwoven basket of florals that feels quietly uplifting when seen in the soft morning light of Nunhead Green market. Tall, immaculate white Gerbera daisies stand like small suns across the composition, their velvety petals contrasted by the dark brown centers that anchor each bloom. Interspersed among them, pale pink carnations provide a frothy, tactile softness-layers of ruffled petals that invite touch and suggest gentle affection. Filling the gaps are clusters of small white and pale-yellow chrysanthemum-like flowers, which read as cheerful yet restrained, giving the arrangement a full, generous silhouette. Scattered throughout, tiny purple-blue aster sprigs add a whisper of cool colour that plays beautifully against the warmer pastels. The greenery is thoughtfully arranged: silvery eucalyptus leaves introduce a modern, calming tone and a light citrus-mint scent, while trailing ruscus with its darker glossy leaves cascades from the left side to create a natural, relaxed movement. The basket is a light, natural wicker with a sturdy arched handle, its handcrafted texture bringing an earthy, market-day authenticity. Lighting is bright and even, illuminating petal edges and the subtle sheen of leaves so the bouquet reads fresh and lively. As a creation by an experienced local florist, this design suits many occasions-from a comforting get-well gift for someone near Nunhead Station to a simple thank-you picked up at the Saturday market-offering both style and an approachable, everyday elegance.

In this carefully composed image, a white-toned woven basket with a curved handle holds a full funeral flower arrangement, photographed crisply against a pure white background. A gentle shadow beneath the basket suggests soft overhead light, giving the scene a calm, contemplative feel, much like the quiet streets around Nunhead Green. At the heart of the display lies a creamy white rose, its petals layered in tight, elegant swirls, drawing the eye inward and symbolising peace and farewell. Standing beside it, two rich purple calla lilies extend their sleek, trumpet-shaped heads upwards, their deep colour lending a sense of solemn beauty that feels perfectly suited to a sympathy tribute. Weaving through the larger blooms are clusters of clematis-style flowers in light lavender and pale lilac, their star-shaped petals and gentle yellow centres catching the light and bringing a soft, airy grace. Dotted among these are smaller blossoms in cheerful but gentle tones of yellow and white, reminiscent of alstroemeria or freesia, adding texture, contrast, and a subtle note of hope. To the right, a single bright magenta gerbera-like flower leans forward, its daisy-shaped head radiating slender petals, offering a poignant highlight of colour that suggests individual memories and personal affection. Enveloping all of the flowers is a wealth of lush greenery, including broad, glossy dark green leaves and finer, lighter sprigs that soften the overall shape. The foliage forms a rounded, mounded profile that feels both abundant and composed. This basket, with its thoughtful combination of soothing whites and creams, dignified purples, gentle pastels, and one striking magenta accent, would be an appropriate and comforting floral tribute for a funeral service or condolence delivery anywhere in Nunhead, from homes near Evelina Road to gatherings close to the local churches.

This image shows a beautifully balanced funeral flower basket presented against a plain white backdrop, allowing the soft colours and textures to speak clearly. The basket is a light, natural beige, woven in a subtle pattern, with a matching curved handle that arches protectively over the blooms, reminiscent of a gentle gateway. It is generously filled with a rounded mass of flowers, as though freshly arranged by a Nunhead florist for a service at a nearby chapel or a home along Peckham Rye's quieter side streets. Large, creamy white roses sit proudly at the centre, their petals lush and fully opened, creating focal points of calm and elegance. Woven among them are graceful clematis flowers with star-like petals in pale lavender and periwinkle tones, their vivid yellow-green centres bringing a delicate yet striking contrast, like small stars shining in a soft sky. Clusters of smaller, white and pale yellow flowers, reminiscent of freesia or lisianthus, nestle between the larger heads; some blooms are open and ruffled, while others remain in bud, suggesting new beginnings even in times of farewell. Subtle touches of bright yellow add a whisper of warmth, preventing the piece from feeling sombre. A rich layer of deep green foliage, glossy and fresh, wraps around the flowers, with broader leaves and finer stems combining to create depth and a natural, garden-like feel, much like the greenery in Nunhead Cemetery and the surrounding parks. The composition conveys a mood of quiet respect and consolation, ideal for sending condolences or adorning a funeral space where family and friends gather to remember a life with tenderness.

The photograph shows a dignified sympathy flower basket, thoughtfully arranged to offer comfort during a time of loss. The container is a shallow, oblong basket made from light, neutral-toned wood, its slender slats curving gently and resting on four quiet little feet that add stability and a hint of refinement. A delicately arched handle in the same pale wood rises above the flowers, suggesting a traditional, almost timeless style that would suit a funeral or remembrance gathering in Nunhead or nearby Brockley. Within the basket, the flowers are arranged in a full, rounded dome, with no obvious gaps, just soft layers of blooms and foliage. Creamy white roses are spaced throughout the arrangement, their petals fully open and luxuriously layered, giving a sense of serenity and respect. Nestled among them, rich red carnations with deeply ruffled petals introduce depth and intensity, their colour evoking love, admiration, and heartfelt mourning. Soft pink and bi-coloured carnations, their white petals gently traced or speckled with crimson, weave between the stronger tones and bring a tender, personal warmth to the tribute. Smaller white flowers, similar to freesias with their slim stems and bell-like blossoms, appear in little clusters, adding detail and a suggestion of gentle fragrance. The greenery is abundant yet controlled: broad, glossy leaves form a supportive cradle, while airy, fern-like fronds and feathery tendrils reach upward and outward, softening the edges and lending a garden-like lightness. Against the pure white background, each petal, stem, and leaf is well defined, allowing the viewer to sense the freshness and care behind the design. This is the kind of arrangement one might imagine being delivered with quiet respect to a Nunhead Cemetery chapel, a modest church off Nunhead Lane, or a family home in the surrounding streets as an expression of sympathy and support.

Presented against a clean white background, this round, densely packed bouquet feels like a carefully edited snapshot of a thriving garden in Nunhead, gathered at its peak and tied into a single, abundant dome. The overall shape is smooth and rounded, with no single flower dominating, creating a sense of harmonious balance. At the heart of the arrangement, luxurious garden roses in soft pastel hues-blush pink, gentle yellow, and creamy peach-spiral open with velvety petals, some blossoms fully open and others just beginning to unfurl. Their romantic, layered forms call to mind the well-loved front gardens near Nunhead Green and the peaceful side streets leading towards Brockley. Nestled between the roses, refined clematis flowers in pale lavender and white stretch out with star-like petals, their yellow centres drawing the eye inward and adding an airy, botanical elegance. In striking contrast, blue eryngium thistles stand proud, their spiny, globe-shaped flower heads in metallic blue-grey introducing a cool, modern edge that offsets the bouquet's softness. Deep purple lisianthus blooms, some still tightly budded, bring a hint of drama and depth, enriching the colour palette with a jewel-like intensity. Clusters of bright red hypericum berries are dotted throughout, appearing as gleaming, bead-like accents that add both texture and a cheerful brightness. All of this is supported by an abundant base of greenery: broad, shiny leaves create structure, fine, feathery greens weave through the flowers, and touches of darker, burgundy foliage hide in the shadows, enhancing the bouquet's depth. The lighting is gentle and diffused, revealing fine details and subtle shifts in tone, as if the bouquet had been photographed near a sunlit window above a Nunhead café. The mood is one of gentle celebration and thoughtful care, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or a heartfelt thank-you delivered across SE15 and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
ETERNAL MEMORY POSY

Seen directly from above, this meticulously hand-tied round bouquet presents a chorus of white and cream blooms that feels like a quiet morning in Nunhead. Several large, luminous white lilies dominate the view with their trumpet-shaped petals and soft greenish centers, each stamen lightly dusted with pale yellow pollen that hints at the lilies' gentle perfume. Encircling them are numerous cream and ivory roses in various stages of bloom-tight buds, cupped half-open flowers and softly unfurling petals that create a plush, layered texture against the lilies' smooth planes. Tiny clouds of white Baby's Breath are interspersed throughout, their fine stems and pinpoint blossoms lending an airy, frothy filigree that fills negative space without overwhelming the main flowers. A few vivid green leaves and short stems slip out around the outer ring, their crisp colour sharpening the overall composition and accentuating the bouquet's rounded form. The lighting is soft and even, producing delicate shadowing that reveals the tactile difference between silk-like rose petals and the firmer curves of the lilies. Designed for moments that call for understated luxury-weddings, christenings, or thoughtful sympathy-this bouquet is the kind of work we craft for local families and couples across Nunhead, Brockley and Honor Oak. Florist Nunhead prepares these pieces with attention to scent, balance and delivery, and can arrange local delivery across Nunhead and neighbouring streets when requested.

Photographed against a crisp white background, this opulent round bouquet seems to hover, its abundance of lilies and roses forming a lush, almost cloud-like sphere. The main structure is created by prominent white lilies whose wide, trumpet-shaped petals open gracefully, each blossom centred with pale green and soft yellow stamens that hint at gentle fragrance. Interspersed among these are clusters of roses in soft blush pink and creamy white, their velvety petals forming tight spirals in the buds and looser, ruffled textures in the fully open blooms. Creating a dramatic contrast are several deep pink and fuchsia Oriental lilies, reminiscent of Stargazer lilies, whose petals are dusted with darker speckles and intensified shades towards the centre, drawing the eye inward to their striking golden anthers. Throughout the bouquet, tiny white flowers of baby's breath weave between the larger stems, lightening the composition and giving it an airy, romantic softness, like a gentle mist over Nunhead's tree-lined streets. Slim hints of green foliage and lily leaves peek through, grounding the arrangement in natural freshness, much like the greenery of neighbouring Peckham Rye Park. The lighting is bright and even, capturing every detail of petal texture and colour gradient, making the flowers appear freshly arranged and ready for delivery. Emotionally, the bouquet suggests joy, devotion, and celebration, perfectly suited to weddings at local venues, anniversary surprises in Nunhead townhouses, or special-occasion gifts shared around Brockley and Telegraph Hill. It feels like a design chosen when words are not quite enough, but you want your flowers to speak of love and meaningful connection.
CHERISHED MOMENTS POSY

A plush, rounded arrangement of blushing pink roses and immaculate white freesias sits centrally on a clean white field, its compact form evoking both formality and tenderness. The larger pink roses show varied stages of bloom, from gently unfurling cups to denser open faces, while sprays of smaller pink roses weave between them, creating subtle shifts of tone from blush to salmon-pink. Clusters of snow-white freesia rise in delicate spikes, some fully open and revealing pale yellow stamens, others curled tight as buds that promise to lengthen the life of the display. Surrounding the florals, a rich layer of greenery offers contrast: deep, glossy leaves - likely ruscus or salal - give the piece structure, while variegated foliage with cream-edged margins dances across the surface, softening the composition and catching light. The design is dense and refined with no visible stems, producing a smooth, cushion-like silhouette that suggests careful wiring or pinning by a practiced hand. Sunlight picks out the silken petals and the slight translucence of freesia cups, adding a calm, morning-like glow which would harmonise with a quiet service in Nunhead or a gentle bedside gift delivered across the High Street toward Brockley. The scent is suggested rather than overpowering: the fresh, green sweetness of freesia braided with the warm, powdery note of pink rose. This arrangement is suited to memorials, wakes, or as a comforting token for the bereaved, yet equally appropriate for intimate celebrations where softness and restraint are desired.
