RETIREMENT FLOWERS
A round, abundant bouquet of mixed flowers rests against a plain white backdrop, its colours and textures taking centre stage. Two striking red roses anchor the design, their buds fully formed yet still tightly curled, giving an impression of freshness and quiet intensity. They are nestled into a cloud of white, daisy-like chrysanthemums, each bloom crisp and open, the petals surrounding vivid lime-green centres that lend a modern, almost zesty touch. Interspersed among the white flowers, light and mid-pink daisy chrysanthemums echo the same green hearts, creating a charming pattern of pink and white dots that ripple across the bouquet. Between these larger blooms, slender stems of pale pink waxflowers weave in and out, their tiny, cup-shaped blossoms and darker stamens adding intricate detail, a bit like the delicate hedgerow flowers you might notice walking through Nunhead Cemetery's wooded paths. The flowers are framed by fresh greenery, with broad, dark green leaves and smaller, brighter foliage giving depth and contrast, making the colours pop as if caught in soft daylight through a Nunhead bay window. All the stems are carefully bound at the base, trimmed to an even length, and slightly fanned, revealing the craftsmanship of a hand-tied design ready for a favourite jug or vase. The overall mood is joyful yet refined, perfect for sending love, comfort, or congratulations to someone in SE15, whether it's a quiet thank you, a get-well wish, or a small celebration at home near Nunhead station.

A generously full mixed bouquet fills the frame, set against a clean, bright white backdrop that makes every colour appear more intense, like a little splash of sunshine delivered to a Nunhead doorstep. The bouquet is arranged in a rounded, domed shape, with no gaps, giving it a luxurious, abundant feel. Dominating the centre are several striking roses whose petals shift from vivid yellow at the heart through glowing orange to subtle reddish-orange at the edges, creating a warm, fiery ombré effect that instantly draws the eye. Surrounding and weaving between these roses are numerous white daisy-style chrysanthemums, each with a sharply defined lime-green centre that pops against the creamy petals and provides a cool, refreshing contrast to the warmer hues. Nestled among them are clusters of compact magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, packed with tiny petals and finished with yellow-green centres, adding depth and a jewel-like brightness reminiscent of colourful flower stalls near Nunhead Green. Glossy, dark green foliage emerges here and there, softening the transitions between blooms and giving the arrangement structure, as if freshly gathered from a well-tended local garden. The stems at the base are neatly aligned and tightly bound, visible against the white background and suggesting a professional hand-tied bouquet ready for same-day delivery across Nunhead and nearby Brockley or Peckham. The lighting is even and natural, with no distractions, allowing the bouquet's confident mix of white, yellow, orange, green, and deep pink to convey feelings of joy, gratitude, and celebration-a versatile gift for birthdays, anniversaries, new homes, or simply brightening a cloudy London afternoon.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
Buy now
Captured from a gentle overhead angle on a clean white studio background, this bouquet feels both intimate and lively-a piece I'd assemble for a friend returning from a stroll past Nunhead Cemetery or for a bright table at a Peckham Rye picnic. Several full, peach-to-orange roses form the soft, warm centre, their petals folding outward in concentric, velvety layers and giving off a subtle tea-rose scent that invites a slower breath. Nestled among them are playful chrysanthemums: pure white, daisy-like sprays with pale green centers that read as fresh and crisp, and bold magenta-purple button or pompon types with vivid lime-yellow centres that energise the composition. Dark, glossy foliage-think ruscus or broad eucalyptus-creates a lush, supportive base that peeks between flowers and gives the bouquet structure and weight. A delicate loop of bright green bear grass sweeps over the top, introducing a light linear accent that keeps the arrangement feeling contemporary. The stems are gathered and wrapped in crinkled, translucent orange cellophane, the bright wrap mirroring the roses and signalling a cheerful gift ready for handover. As a Nunhead florist, Florist Nunhead often pairs these tones for birthday deliveries, hospital visits or small celebration tables, and the finished piece carries a comforting balance of texture, scent and colour. The visual emphasis on contrast-the soft peach against punchy magenta and deep green-makes this bouquet equally suited to a mantel, a kitchen dresser or a thoughtful doorstep surprise around Ivydale Road.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
Buy now
A lush bouquet of chrysanthemums in soothing whites and lively lime greens is captured against a crisp, all-white background, allowing the intricate details of every bloom to stand out. At the centre of the design, large white and creamy-yellow chrysanthemums unfold in many layers of delicately overlapping petals, their rounded shapes creating a sense of softness and abundance. Some blooms reveal faint green or lemon-tinted hearts, drawing the eye inward and adding nuance to the otherwise calm palette. Nestled among these are clusters of smaller, daisy-like spray chrysanthemums, each with slim white petals radiating from neat green centers, giving the arrangement an airy, meadow-fresh feel. Dotted boldly throughout are tight, spherical lime green pompon chrysanthemums, their compact, almost velvety texture bringing modern flair and a playful energy that contrasts beautifully with the more classical blooms. Dark green foliage frames and supports the flowers, hinting at stems and leaves that might have been gathered from a well-tended garden not far from Nunhead Green or the tree-lined paths around Telegraph Hill. The stems below are carefully aligned and tied with a wide lime green satin ribbon, styled into a structured multi-loop bow whose smooth sheen catches the light and mirrors the bright green pompons above. This bouquet feels both serene and hopeful, an arrangement that could sit comfortably on a windowsill near Nunhead station, accompany a joyful celebration in a local café, or be delivered as a gentle, uplifting message of care to someone recovering or reflecting, the fresh colours suggesting new beginnings and quiet resilience.
LIME ZEST

A hand-tied bouquet of mixed flowers stands out clearly against a smooth white backdrop, every bloom sharply defined as though you were viewing it in the bright front window of a Nunhead flower shop. At its heart are several fully blooming roses in shades of creamy white and soft pastel yellow, their velvety petals layered in gentle spirals that radiate a feeling of quiet sophistication and tenderness. Surrounding these roses is a lively ring of fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums, their daisy-like petals spreading outward around vivid yellow-green centres that bring a jolt of energy and playfulness to the composition. Between these larger heads, fine stems of tiny white daisies, chamomile-like in appearance, thread their way through the design, each small flower with pure white petals and a cheerful yellow centre that lightens the palette and gives the bouquet an informal, garden-picked feel, like flowers gathered after a stroll around Nunhead Green or nearby Brockley. Here and there, a few smaller chrysanthemum buds in deeper purple-pink shades emerge, adding visual depth and the promise of further blooming. Framing everything is a generous layer of fresh green foliage, including classic, serrated rose leaves and broader greens from the chrysanthemums, providing a cool, verdant contrast that makes the pinks and creams appear even more vibrant. The stems are neatly collected at the base and secured with a green and white checkered ribbon, the gingham pattern lending a softly rustic note. The overall look is one of skilled but relaxed craftsmanship, perfect for same-day delivery across Nunhead, Peckham, and East Dulwich as a happy birthday surprise, a get-well wish, or a simple expression of appreciation.
LOVELY DREAMER

A radiant bouquet of oriental lilies, composed in a clear glass vase, showcases a refined pairing of pristine creamy-white and saturated fuchsia-pink blooms, all set against a clean white background that brightens their colours. Each lily is captured at a slightly different moment of opening: broad, silky petals of fully open flowers form trumpet and star silhouettes around exposed stamens with delicate anthers, while slender, tapered buds promise staged unfolding over several days. The white lilies reveal soft yellow-green throats that give a warm centre to otherwise ivory petals, and the pink varieties display plush, velvety surfaces with lighter veining and occasional pale centres that add depth and a painterly contrast. Rich, dark-green lanceolate leaves thread through the bouquet, their glossy texture creating natural lines that support and lift the blossoms. The clear vase at the base shows trimmed stems and clear water, a simple cue of freshness and attentive care. The image's bright, even lighting highlights textures and edges, and one can almost imagine the subtle, sweet perfume that lilies lend to a room - an olfactory warmth suited to celebratory tables, Mother's Day surprises, or a calming bedside arrangement. As a local florist in Nunhead, Florist Nunhead often pairs these tonal contrasts for customers from Nunhead Village to Brockley and Honor Oak, aiming for arrangements that feel both refined and warmly familiar to neighbourhood homes and small celebrations.
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
Buy now
Against a pure white studio background, a hand-tied hydrangea bouquet appears almost to float, its rounded silhouette and cool palette giving an impression of calm, composed elegance. At its core, a plush dome of creamy white hydrangea florets anchors the design, each tiny petal layered tightly over the next to form a soft, cloud-like centre that draws the eye. Encircling this central bloom are substantial heads of pastel blue hydrangeas, their petals dusted with delicate shifts in tone from ice-blue to a slightly deeper shade, like the gentle changes in light over Nunhead's quiet streets and the tree-lined edges of Telegraph Hill. Nestled between the blue and white, clusters of pale lime-green hydrangeas introduce a fresh, citrusy brightness, echoing spring foliage and the new growth in local gardens and park borders. Around and between the blossoms, a generous collar of foliage adds texture and visual rhythm: rounded eucalyptus leaves with their characteristic silvery-green haze lend a contemporary softness, while darker, glossy leaves-some slender and elongated, others broader-build depth and give the bouquet a lush, garden-grown feel. The stems of the flowers and greenery are visible at the base, neatly aligned and firmly tied, suggesting a bouquet just finished by a Nunhead florist and ready for delivery to a nearby terrace or apartment. Gentle, even lighting enhances the natural colours without casting harsh shadows, allowing the subtle interplay of blue, white, and green to stand out against the clean background. The bouquet's atmosphere is one of serenity, making it ideal for quiet celebrations, a comforting get-well gift, a refined thank-you, or a simple way to bring a sense of cool, floral tranquillity into everyday life around Nunhead and Peckham.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
Buy now
A richly coloured bouquet stands out boldly against a pristine white background, every stem and petal clearly visible, as if resting on the counter of a cosy Nunhead flower shop. The composition is anchored by several open pink roses at the centre, their petals arranged in loose, romantic spirals that create a soft, welcoming heart to the design. Framing them are bright yellow gerbera daisies whose distinctive dark brown centres and flat, circular faces offer a modern, graphic contrast, their sun-bright petals radiating optimism like the lively cafés and independent shops clustered around Nunhead Lane. Stretching upward, elegant spires of deep blue delphinium add a sophisticated vertical line, each delicate floret contributing a cool, almost meadow-like feel that balances the warmth of the pink and yellow blooms. The bouquet is made lush by an abundance of greenery: delicate fern-like fronds that spill out from the edges, dense cushions of bright green filler foliage that add depth and density, and glossy, broad leaves that form a rich, dark background for the flowers. Some of these larger leaves, faintly streaked with lighter green, are carefully wrapped around the lower section of the stems, creating a neat, natural collar that defines the bouquet's outline. Above the main cluster, slim pale green stems tipped with small buds introduce a sense of freshness, as though the arrangement holds the promise of more blossoms to come, much like new shops and cafés appearing around Nunhead and nearby Peckham. The stems are clearly gathered at the base, tightly bound and encased in pale textured wrapping tied with a simple bow, ready to be carried home or delivered to a doorstep in SE15. The design feels bright, contemporary, and heartfelt, ideal for marking milestones, sending thanks, or bringing a touch of joyful colour into everyday life in Nunhead.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
Buy now
This hand-tied bouquet, set dramatically against a clear white backdrop, looks like it has just been finished on the workbench of a Nunhead florist who loves playing with soft romance and bold accents. At the heart of the design, full garden roses in blush, dusty pink, and muted mauve open in layered spirals, evoking a timeless, storybook charm that would suit a cosy home near Nunhead Cemetery or the artisan shops along Evelina Road. Around them, lush carnations with deeply frilled petals move from pale cream and blush at their centres to stronger rose and plum along the tips, giving a sense of movement, texture, and gentle abundance. Deep indigo-blue blossoms, some shaped like sleek tulip buds, provide striking contrast, while a single open royal blue anemone with an almost black centre stands out at the lower front, catching the eye like a piece of jewellery in the arrangement. Light lavender and lilac stock stems stretch upwards, their clusters of small, delicate flowers providing airiness and suggesting a soft, comforting fragrance. Framing everything, rounded silvery eucalyptus leaves and richer green foliage add structure, balance, and a feeling of freshness, like a cool breeze passing through one of Nunhead's hidden gardens. The gathered stems are clearly visible at the base, tied neatly to show the bouquet's freshly prepared nature and readiness to be slipped into a vase on a kitchen table or studio desk. Emotionally, the bouquet feels calming and uplifting, perfect for sending love on an anniversary, offering gentle support in difficult times, or celebrating a quiet milestone for someone in the SE15 Nunhead community.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
Buy now
Arranging this bouquet in our Nunhead workshop, I'm entranced by the delicate interplay between the blush-pink gerbera daisies and timeless pink roses. The bouquet glows with the soft pinks seen in early spring sunrise over Peckham Rye, layered with bold streaks of deep purple statice that catch your eye and spark delight. The verdant leaves below, cool and dewy to the touch, anchor the blooms with a freshness reminiscent of morning walks down Evelina Road. This delicate harmony is captured in a clear glass vase, inviting the light to dance through the petals and amplify their beauty. Whether sent as a thoughtful get-well message to someone recovering near Nunhead Cemetery or as a graceful highlight for a Nunhead kitchen, the arrangement reflects careful attention to detail and the daily joy found in life's little celebrations.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
Buy now
This image shows a luxurious, dome-shaped bouquet set against a pure white background that makes its rich palette of pinks, mauves, purples, and greens appear especially vivid. The main body of the arrangement is built from soft, pastel pink roses, their petals opening in concentric layers that create a gentle, almost hypnotic swirl of colour. Some roses remain more tightly budded, giving the design a sense of growth and unfolding beauty. Among them sit lavish carnations in shades of dusty rose and soft mauve, their deeply ruffled petals creating a plush, textured surface that contrasts with the smoother form of the roses. Stretching through this softness, slender spires of deep indigo and violet Veronica lift the eye, introducing a graceful vertical line that evokes the natural height of garden borders you might see near Nunhead Green or along the surrounding streets. Lacing the bouquet with a light, whimsical quality are sprays of delicate, star-like flowers in pale lavender-blue, reminiscent of asters, each tiny bloom contributing to an airy, clouded effect. Deeper purple lisianthus blossoms and buds are tucked between the lighter tones, giving the arrangement dimension and a touch of drama. Enveloping all these blooms, an assortment of foliage provides a fresh, green framework: tufts of bright chartreuse filler-perhaps bupleurum or green trick dianthus-stand out against more understated silvery eucalyptus leaves and other soft greenery. The stems at the base are neatly trimmed and tied, confirming the bouquet as a hand-tied design ready for a favourite vase in a Nunhead home, studio, or café. The bouquet feels refined yet welcoming, ideal for same-day delivery to celebrate a birthday, mark an anniversary, or simply offer a thoughtful gesture to someone special in SE15.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00

Brimming with vibrant character, this lush floral arrangement deftly combines the exuberance of sunflowers and the refined beauty of yellow garden roses, evoking days spent exploring Nunhead's scenic paths and cafes. Towering sunflowers are the stars of the bouquet, their golden petals radiating from velvety brown centres-each bloom capturing the spirit of sunshine and togetherness. Surrounding them, sumptuous yellow roses bloom in tightly packed swirls, their tissue-soft petals lending a plush elegance that balances the dramatic sunflowers. Splashes of red Hypericum berries are tucked between the flowers, their jewel-like hues sparking moments of delight-much like discovering hidden gems in Nunhead's local markets. Layers of feathery fern embrace the bouquet in textured green, their gentle cascades reminiscent of the leaf-dappled walks in Telegraph Hill Park. Tiny inflorescences of goldenrod and subtle hints of eucalyptus intersperse among the foliage, adding freshness and a touch of wildness. All are showcased within a clear, round glass vase-the stems visible through water, grounding the ensemble in clarity. Natural daylight reflects softly off the vase, illuminating the bouquet and creating an inviting focal point. This composition, lovingly crafted by Nunhead's talented florists, is perfect for celebrations, milestone birthdays, or simply bringing a moment of uncompromised cheer to a Nunhead home.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00

This luminous arrangement captures the essence of Nunhead's vibrant floral culture, blending hand-tied Gerbera daisies in a medley of radiant yellow, fiery orange, and bold magenta. Each daisy's distinctive dark center contrasts dramatically with the vivid petals, as if echoing the lively buzz of Nunhead Lane or a stroll through Telegraph Hill Park. Delicate green foliage is nestled among the exuberant blooms, offering depth and a touch of wild beauty. The bouquet is artistically wrapped-a rustic layer of tan kraft paper embraces the flowers, overlaid with gleaming cellophane that both protects and showcases the colours. Resting in a clear glass vase, the bouquet's stems are neatly gathered and immersed in sparkling water, symbolising freshness and attentive care. A rustic twine binds the stems decoratively, from which dangles a simple white tag marked with a rose emblem and part of a hand-written note, reminiscent of cherished messages sent between neighbours. Bathed in even, natural light against a spotless white field, this arrangement makes a statement of joy and gratitude, suitable for congratulating a local friend, welcoming new beginnings, or enhancing the ambiance of a Nunhead home. Florist Nunhead's dedication to detail shines through in every thoughtfully composed element, providing a vibrant, heartfelt gift for any special delivery or occasion.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00

With all the warmth and colour of an early summer evening in Nunhead, this thoughtfully curated gift set centres on a radiant bouquet of open roses, their petals glowing in a harmonious medley of coral-orange, peach, and vintage pink. Each bloom carries intricate variegations-some petals blush from creamy yellow at the base to bold pink or fiery salmon at the edge-giving the bouquet a lively, almost painterly feel. Deep green foliage, lush and glossy, surrounds the roses like a treasured frame, highlighting their natural vibrancy without overpowering their beauty. Nestled beside the flowers, a rectangular Thorntons 'Orange Crisp' chocolate pouch, rendered in elegant beige, rests partially forward. The bag's design is classic, with the Thorntons brand and a tempting illustration of smooth chocolate truffles. In front, two individual truffles, glossy with their milk chocolate finish, suggest an irresistible treat awaiting discovery. This combination of sensory pleasures-the fragrance of fresh roses, the indulgence of chocolate-evokes the community spirit of Nunhead, perfect for a birthday, an anniversary, or a thoughtful surprise for a friend on St. Mary's Road. The carefully woven textures, interplay of flavours, and vibrant mood reflect the artistry and heart of Nunhead's local florists, making this gift a celebration of life's sweetest moments.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00

Bringing Nunhead's natural abundance indoors, this lavish bouquet is a testament to expert British floristry and seasonal flair. Central clusters of deep blue hydrangeas interlace with lavish lilac and white roses, their velvety petals curling gently into voluptuous blooms that invoke local spring gardens near Peckham Rye. Creamy white ranunculus, with their ruffled spirals, rest among the arrangement, adding plush volume and subtle romantic texture. Bright pale yellow eustoma buds, still tightly furled, emerge playfully between the prominent blossoms, symbolizing new beginnings and optimism. Feathered sprays of fuchsia and blush astilbe intertwine at the periphery, creating a whimsical, soft-edged frame. Delicate, lacy clusters of light green filler, similar to Queen Anne's Lace, scatter throughout and impart a fine, airy structure. Each element is offset by rich, dark green foliage, grounding the bright blooms and highlighting their natural vibrancy. Expertly gathered and bound with a lusciously glossy royal purple satin ribbon, the bouquet's base promises both quality and refined style. Whether intended for celebrating life's milestones or adding beauty to a Nunhead gathering, this arrangement expresses care, local identity, and joyful elegance, all available for delivery across the community's leafy streets.
TIMELESS VICTORIAN
£57.00
Buy now
Presented against a crisp white backdrop and bathed in gentle light, this densely packed floral arrangement reads as a study in warm colour and texture drawn from an experienced florist's eye. Bright yellow Asiatic lilies take centre stage, some fully unfurled with their freckled petals and stamens exposed, others held slender and poised as upward-reaching buds that give the bouquet a sense of anticipation and growth. Cheerful orange Gerbera daisies punctuate the mass with bold, flat faces, while powdery lavender roses tuck into the middle, their soft scent and romantic spirals cooling the composition. The piece is built on a cushion of lime-green button chrysanthemums that add plush volume and ruffled texture, with small, spiky globe accents in vivid orange and golden yellow scattered like confetti to enliven every angle. Several indigo-blue sea thistles (Eryngium) push through the lower margins, their spiky, sculptural forms offering a cool, architectural counterpoint to the otherwise warm palette. Varied foliage - from broad, glossy lily leaves to smaller, textured fillers - knits the elements together and creates a sense of natural abundance. The overall mood is uplifting and versatile, equally appropriate for congratulating a friend in East Dulwich, brightening a reception table on Nunhead Lane, or expressing gentle sympathy with warmth and dignity. As an object it conveys careful hand-assembly, seasonal freshness and floral balance that invites close inspection and small delighted gasps.
TROPIC GETAWAY
£64.00
Buy now
Set against a pure white field, this tall floral composition centres on a voluminous cloud of deep blue hydrangeas, their clustered florets creating a lush, tactile anchor that immediately draws the eye. The hydrangeas' cool, vivid blue provides a dramatic counterpoint to the creamy, fully opened roses cradling the lower and outer edges; those roses release a faint, classic rose perfume and present soft, velvety spirals of petal that whisper timeless elegance. Erect and statuesque, several white calla lilies extend above the main cluster, each trumpet-like bloom reflecting light with a slight pearlescent sheen and lending sculptural height. Interspersed among them are delicate vertical stems of white snapdragons or stock, which introduce a lighter, whimsical silhouette and lift the composition upward. Rich green foliage - glossy dark leaves that could be salal and finer, feathery fern fronds - creates depth and a garden-collected feeling, their varied textures catching the light and gently framing the blooms. The clear glass vase reveals neatly arranged stems and fresh water, emphasising the craftsmanship behind the arrangement. The overall mood is one of serene sophistication and quiet celebration, fitting for sympathy or a refined gift. Picture this bouquet on a mantel in a Nunhead home on Ivydale Road or delivered to someone near Nunhead Market; it reads as a calm, considered expression from an experienced local florist.
