BUTTONHOLES
Set against a softly textured, light beige linen backdrop, this elegant boutonniere appears as though it has been laid out moments before a ceremony in a quiet Nunhead townhouse. The fabric behind it is warm and neutral, its fine weave just visible, giving the image a gentle, tactile quality. At the centre, two lisianthus flowers unfurl in full bloom, their white petals edged with a deep, velvety purple that curls along the ruffled tips like ink along parchment, creating a striking yet refined contrast. Tucked among them are clusters of tiny white filler flowers, reminiscent of classic baby's breath, that lend a light, airy touch and soften the overall silhouette. Rising upwards is a graceful spike of grape hyacinth (muscari), its small, bell-shaped florets packed closely together in a rich, moody purple-blue, adding depth and a hint of woodland character. Around the flowers, fine, feathery greenery fans out in loose, natural sprays, similar to asparagus fern, bringing movement and a fresh, just-gathered feel, as if the stems were picked in the early morning near Peckham Rye Park. Two unopened, pale green buds rest at the edge of the design, quietly suggesting growth, promise, and the unfolding of the day ahead. All the stems are carefully aligned and bound at the base with a smooth, white satin ribbon, wrapped snugly and finished with a precise little bow that feels both ceremonial and intimate. The boutonniere feels calm and thoughtful, perfectly suited to a groom, groomsman, or prom guest in SE15 who prefers their flowers to carry a whisper of emotion rather than a shout of colour, capturing the understated charm of local gatherings around Nunhead Green.
LILIUM & LISIANTHUS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
A small, meticulously crafted floral boutonniere lies horizontally on a pale beige, finely woven fabric that resembles natural linen, the kind you might find on a well-set table at a Nunhead wedding reception. The fabric's subtle weave and warm neutral tone create a gentle, unfussy backdrop that lets the flowers take centre stage. In the middle, a gathered cluster of soft pink blossoms, likely miniature stock or ruffled garden-style flowers, forms the focal point. Their petals are layered and slightly frilled, shifting in colour from a deeper rose pink near the centre to a more delicate pastel blush at the tips, giving the impression of softness and quiet romance. Nestled among these pink blooms are airy sprays of white baby's breath, each tiny flower forming part of a delicate, cloud-like texture that fills in the gaps and adds a feeling of lightness. Tiny accents of lavender or dusky purple flowers thread through the arrangement, adding just enough depth to keep the composition interesting without breaking the gentle, feminine mood. Extending from one side are several slender, creamy buds, possibly freesia, still closed and tinged with pale green at the base, hinting at freshness and the fleeting nature of celebration. The bouquet is framed by glossy, broad green leaves, while longer, finer, grass-like stems and ferny fronds curl out beneath, giving a slightly wild, natural edge that feels at home in a garden near Nunhead Cemetery or Telegraph Hill. The stems are tightly gathered and cinched with a vivid fuchsia satin ribbon, tied into a smooth, elegant bow whose sheen catches the light, suggesting a finishing touch of care and craftsmanship from a local florist accustomed to dressing grooms and graduates across SE15.
LISIANTHUS & ANEMONE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A single peach rose boutonniere rests gracefully on a pale, oat-toned linen cloth, the subtle crosshatch of the fabric giving a soft, natural backdrop that recalls a calm dressing room before a ceremony in Nunhead. The rose is partially open, not yet fully unfurled, with petals that deepen to a warm, sunlit apricot at the core and fade to a creamy, pastel blush at the edges, suggesting freshness and the promise of a day just beginning. Around the rose, a gentle collar of white baby's breath creates a halo effect, the petite gypsophila blooms adding fine, cloud-like texture and a classic bridal note without overwhelming the central flower. Slender strands of vivid green foliage slip out from behind the petals, while two slightly curled, darker green leaves cradle the base, lending balance and a polished outline against the neutral cloth. The stems of the flowers are neatly bound with a smooth peach satin ribbon that echoes the rose's hue, wrapped with the care of a practiced florist and secured with a small, tidy bow that lies flat, ready to sit comfortably on a lapel. The lighting is soft and even, with no harsh shadows, allowing the viewer to appreciate every vein in the leaves and the velvety layering of the petals. The overall impression is one of quiet elegance and intimate celebration, perfect for a groom, best man, or special guest attending a local ceremony by Nunhead Cemetery or a reception in a nearby pub, the boutonniere capturing the gentle joy of a meaningful day shared with loved ones.
ORANGE ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
Resting on a pale beige, linen-like fabric that shows a subtle, natural weave, this elegant boutonniere appears as if it has just been set down by a careful florist preparing for a wedding near Nunhead railway station. The central bloom is a pristine white phalaenopsis orchid, its large petals smooth and rounded, opening outward with a serene, sculptural grace. In the very centre, the orchid's throat reveals soft yellow tones that diffuse outward into delicate reddish-orange or light brown markings, adding complexity and drawing the eye inward. Surrounding the orchid, wisps of white baby's breath form a delicate halo, their tiny star-shaped flowers creating a light, airy texture reminiscent of a gentle dusting of snow on the edges of the design. To the left of the main bloom, two lime-green chrysanthemum buds sit like fresh, textured pom-poms, their tightly curled, spiky petals giving a crisp, contemporary feel and a lively pop of colour against the ivory orchid. A rich, deep green leaf forms a supportive base beneath the composition, complemented by a smaller darker leaf that subtly anchors the lower section. The stems are tightly wrapped in vibrant crimson red satin ribbon, the smooth fabric winding neatly around the base and finishing in a small, decorative knot that suggests both care and celebration, much like a ribbon tied for a special day on Evelina Road. The contrast between the bold red ribbon, the fresh green accents, and the pure white orchid against the soft, neutral fabric creates a refined, modern look-an ideal groom's boutonniere or corsage alternative for a formal event, radiating quiet confidence and polished style.
ORCHID & CHRYSANTHEMUMS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
A delicately styled floral buttonhole lies centred on a light beige, woven linen background, its fibres subtly visible like the texture of a favourite tablecloth in a Nunhead townhouse near Peckham Rye Park. The boutonniere is anchored by a flawless white Phalaenopsis orchid bloom, its generous petals layered in a soft, open curve that suggests both grace and quiet confidence. At the orchid's heart, a muted blend of creamy yellow and soft orange warms the centre, giving the impression of light glowing from within. Encircling this main flower is a fine halo of white baby's breath, each tiny floret a pinpoint of softness that softens the edges of the design and adds a dreamy, almost mist-like quality. Tucked just below and to the side, a cluster of glossy cherry-red berries catches the eye, their smooth, rounded forms brimming with colour and bringing a touch of seasonal cheer, perfect for a winter wedding or Christmas celebration in SE15. Younger, pale green berry buds are interspersed among them, adding freshness and a gentle variation in tone. The whole composition is cradled by lush green leaves, some broad and pointed, others narrower and more tapered, creating a natural frame that highlights the central orchid. At the base, a rich red satin ribbon tightly wraps the stems, its surface gleaming softly in the light and ending in tidy, short tails that signal readiness to be pinned to a lapel or dress. The piece feels composed and intentional, the kind of thoughtful floral detail a local Nunhead florist might create for a groom or prom guest, designed to be worn close to the heart during life's most meaningful celebrations.
ORCHID & HYPERICUM GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
An elegant blush pink rose boutonniere rests on a softly textured, light beige linen surface, the natural weave of the fabric providing a warm, understated canvas that recalls the relaxed charm of Nunhead's quiet residential streets. Captured from a slightly overhead perspective, the focus falls on a single semi-open rose, its petals velvety and layered, fading from a gentle, almost porcelain pink at the centre into a deeper, more vibrant blush along the delicately ruffled edges. Around the base of the rose, clusters of creamy white baby's breath are tucked with care, each airy floret forming a cloud-like ring that brightens the composition and adds a classic, romantic texture often favoured for local church weddings and proms at nearby schools. Behind the rose, fine, grass-like blades of emerald and light green foliage fan out in slender arcs, creating a sense of movement and freshness, as if touched by a soft breeze drifting over Telegraph Hill. A single broader, deeper green leaf is folded and wrapped snugly around the stems, giving structure and polish, while subtly drawing the eye back to the central bloom. The stems are expertly bound in a lustrous satin ribbon, blending soft lavender-pink with hints of magenta, tied securely in a simple knot that feels tidy rather than fussy. The ribbon's gentle sheen catches the ambient light, echoing the natural glow of the rose petals and the delicate reflections on the baby's breath. Shadows fall softly across the linen, enhancing the three-dimensional quality of the piece. This refined boutonniere looks ready to be pinned on a lapel for a wedding, civil ceremony, or evening celebration anywhere across SE15, radiating quiet sophistication and heartfelt sentiment.
PURPLE ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A meticulously crafted wedding boutonniere rests on a pale beige, woven fabric that looks like fine linen, its subtle texture evoking the calm, natural tones of homes bordering Nunhead Cemetery and nearby Peckham Rye. At the centre, a sumptuous fuchsia-pink rose forms the focal point, its petals layered in a tight rosette that gradually opens into a soft, velvety bloom, suggesting both confidence and tenderness. Around its base, clouds of tiny white baby's breath blossoms create a feathery frame, their delicate clusters adding a sense of lightness and romance, as if catching the soft daylight of an early ceremony. Rich red hypericum berries are tucked among the white blooms, their glossy skins and rounded forms introducing a playful, festive accent that contrasts beautifully with the rose. Fine, airy fronds of fern-like greenery reach outward, while broader, darker green leaves are expertly curled and tucked close, lending the piece an architectural, sculpted feel that hints at an experienced florist's touch. The stems are neatly wrapped in a vibrant red satin ribbon, tied into a refined, compact bow that sits snugly against the fabric, echoing the rose's warmth and anchoring the design. Gentle, natural light falls across the arrangement, highlighting the interplay between matte petals, shining berries, and the silky ribbon. Viewed from a slightly elevated angle, every detail of this small floral accessory is visible, making it easy to imagine it pinned to a lapel for a wedding or prom in Nunhead, carried from a trusted local florist and ready to accompany vows, photographs, and heartfelt toasts.
RED ROSE & HYPERICUM GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A romantic boutonnière lies on a gently textured, light beige fabric, reminiscent of natural linen one might see on a well-laid table in a Nunhead café, its subdued tones framing the floral work without distraction. The central focus is a single rosebud in vivid fuchsia, petals tightly wrapped in a spiral of saturated colour that shifts between deep pink and magenta. The rose looks full of promise, as if it is just about to unfurl, its smooth, velvety surface suggesting the soft, familiar scent of a garden rose picked fresh from a small front garden off Evelina Road. Around this focal bloom, clusters of tiny white baby's breath create a delicate halo, their cloud-like appearance softening the intensity of the rose and lending an almost ethereal lightness. Threading through and behind, slender, feathery stems of bright green foliage arc outward, evoking the airy texture of asparagus fern, each leaflet fine and almost weightless, adding both height and movement to the design. The stems at the base are neatly gathered and wrapped in a narrow, glossy red satin ribbon, its polished finish glinting under the light and visually tying together the deep pink of the rose and the deeper red tones within it. The ribbon is wound with precision, forming a clean, compact handle that would sit comfortably against the lapel of a suit or jacket. Soft, even illumination highlights every petal edge and leaf contour, giving the boutonnière a fresh, just-crafted appearance, perfect for a groom, groomsman, or prom guest heading out to a celebration in Nunhead or nearby Peckham Rye, where personal touches and handcrafted details matter.
RED ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
On a neutral linen background with a subtly woven texture-reminiscent of Nunhead's quaint local markets-this meticulously arranged boutonniere exudes refinement and celebration. At its center, a rosebud in blush pink gently unwinds, its petals enfolding deep cerise at the heart and fading softly at the tips, a delicate echo of spring mornings nearby. Next to it, a peach or pale pink alstroemeria reveals its golden core and delicate streaks, artfully contrasting with the rose and echoing the layered beauty of Nunhead's hidden gardens. Interspersed are airy tufts of white baby's breath and vibrant green, cushion-like mums, bringing contrast and lively texture. The supporting foliage fans upwards-feathery blades and broader, dark-hued leaves providing shape and a hint of woodland depth, some folded to create architectural interest at the base. A glamorously tied fuchsia pink satin ribbon gleams at the stem, its bow crisp and celebratory, matching the joyful spirit of Nunhead's community gatherings. The entire composition is bathed in gentle, natural light, illuminating each petal and blade with clarity. Crafted with the utmost care, this boutonniere is an exquisite accessory for weddings, lifelong milestones, and cherished events across Nunhead, blending romance and grace in every detail.
ROSE & ALSTROEMERIA GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£99.00
A refined boutonniere is carefully displayed on a pale, linen-like fabric backdrop, its light beige tone and gentle texture providing a calm, neutral stage for the floral details. In the centre, a single white alstroemeria, or Peruvian lily, opens gracefully, its petals smooth yet delicately ruffled at the edges, and marked near the throat with fine reddish-brown streaks that give the bloom a painterly quality. Just to the left rises a compact cluster of bright green buds arranged in a conical spike, their scale-like structure offering a contemporary contrast to the softness of the lily. Threaded among these focal elements are sprigs of airy white baby's breath, each tiny blossom adding a haze of lightness, like a soft mist settling over a Nunhead garden after rain. The arrangement is cradled in lush foliage: broad, dark green leaves provide strength and structure, while slender, grass-like strands curve and twist, introducing movement and a slightly wild, natural charm. Binding everything together at the right side is a small, neatly tied bow of smooth pink satin ribbon, its gentle sheen catching the light and injecting a romantic, celebratory note ideal for weddings, anniversaries, or proms. The lighting is even and flattering, highlighting the fresh, dewy appearance of the petals and foliage without distraction. Created in the spirit of local south-east London celebrations, this small corsage-style piece feels perfect for a lapel at a Nunhead registry office ceremony or a special evening out near Brockley or Peckham, quietly capturing the joy and anticipation of the occasion.
WHITE ALSTROEMERIA GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A finely detailed floral boutonnière rests at an angle on a warm, oatmeal-coloured fabric that resembles natural linen, its subtle weave adding a rustic elegance often seen in relaxed Nunhead weddings. The focal point is a single white lisianthus flower, fully open and luxuriously ruffled, each petal curling gently outward to form a soft, rounded bloom with a luminous, almost velvety texture. Just to its lower left sit two unopened lisianthus buds, elongated and creamy with hints of pale green, suggesting the promise of petals yet to unfurl - a fitting echo of new beginnings for a couple marrying close to Nunhead Green. Sprinkled around the main flower are dainty sprigs of baby's breath, hundreds of tiny white blossoms that create a light, cloud-like halo and soften the transition between bloom and foliage. Fine, grass-like blades of dark green foliage fan gracefully towards the left side, adding a linear rhythm and a fresh garden feel, while a single, broader dark green leaf tucked behind the lisianthus anchors the composition and deepens the contrast. At the lower right, the gathered stems are snugly bound in a vivid fuchsia pink satin ribbon, tied into a small, polished bow that glows brightly against both the neutral fabric and the calm white petals. The ribbon's colour introduces a joyful, contemporary twist, as if chosen to match a bridesmaid's dress or pocket square for a celebration near Brockley or Peckham Rye. The soft, even lighting highlights every texture - from the satin sheen and silky petals to the linen-like background - capturing the refined, handcrafted quality you might expect from an experienced local florist preparing buttonholes for a London wedding party.
WHITE LISIANTHUS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A delicate orchid boutonniere is photographed resting horizontally on a pale, linen-textured fabric, the light beige surface providing a calm, understated backdrop that recalls the soft interiors of townhouses around Nunhead. At its centre, a single white Phalaenopsis orchid opens fully, its petals luxuriously broad and gently curved, giving a sense of quiet poise. The orchid's throat reveals gentle touches of soft yellow and the faintest trace of pink, like a whispered blush, drawing the eye toward the heart of the bloom. Hugging the base of the orchid is a cluster of white baby's breath, each tiny flower forming a cloud-like spray that adds volume and a dreamy, romantic softness. Nestled between these blossoms are slender green leaves, their fresh, lively hue evoking the greenery of nearby Nunhead Cemetery's tree-lined paths. To one side, a short stem arches gracefully, bearing a pair of tightly closed, lime-green orchid buds that hint at future blossoms and the promise of the day ahead. The stems of the flowers and foliage are firmly bound together with a bright fuchsia pink satin ribbon, wrapped smoothly and finished with a neat, small bow. The ribbon's vivid colour and subtle sheen introduce a playful yet elegant contrast, like a celebratory accent added just before leaving for a ceremony. Soft, even lighting glides across the petals, buds, and fabric, highlighting every curve and texture without harsh shadows. The composition feels intimate and thoughtfully arranged, as though prepared by an experienced Nunhead florist for a groom, best man, or special guest heading to a wedding, prom, or formal gathering in the local area.
WHITE ORCHID GROOM BOUTONNIERE
£85.00
A carefully crafted white orchid boutonniere lies diagonally across a light beige, woven fabric backdrop, its natural texture reminiscent of the simple linens used in intimate Nunhead gatherings and small South London celebrations. At the heart of the design, a flawless Phalaenopsis orchid bloom takes centre stage, its pristine, creamy white petals unfolding with a gentle curve and a soft sheen that catches the even, diffused light. Within the throat of the orchid, a subtle wash of pale yellow and a touch of warm ivory lend depth and a living, breathing quality, as if you could almost feel the cool, silky surface of each petal under your fingertips. Surrounding the central bloom is a generous cloud of baby's breath, the tiny, star-like white flowers forming a delicate halo that softens the overall silhouette and adds a dreamy, romantic texture. Threaded through the gypsophila, fine sprigs of fresh green foliage stretch outward, their slender, feathery leaves evoking the informal greenery of local gardens around Nunhead Green and the shaded corners of Telegraph Hill. The stems of the orchid, baby's breath, and greenery are neatly aligned and wrapped in a band of smooth white satin ribbon, the fabric drawn snug and flat, then finished with a tidy, minimal bow that sits just above the cut ends, indicating the piece is ready to be pinned securely to a jacket. The neutral, oatmeal-coloured background allows the crisp whites and vivid greens to stand out without distraction, creating a calm, sophisticated composition. This boutonniere feels perfectly suited to a wedding or formal event in Nunhead, a small but meaningful floral touch symbolising purity, commitment, and the gentle joy of a new chapter shared with family and friends.
WHITE ORCHID GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
A single, immaculate white rose boutonniere is presented diagonally on a pale beige, linen-like fabric, the gentle crosshatch texture of the background setting a calm, neutral stage that lets the details of the flowers truly stand out. The rosebud itself is a soft ivory-white, petals smooth and velvety, cupped tightly together as though caught at the perfect moment between bud and full bloom. Tucked close around the rose are airy sprays of white gypsophila, or baby's breath, each tiny blossom forming part of a frothy, cloud-like collar that softens the edges of the design and adds a whisper of romance. Slim green leaves and a few feathery fronds of foliage frame the central flower, their fresh, vibrant tones bringing contrast and a hint of the lush greenery found in gardens and tree-lined streets across Nunhead. The stems are neatly gathered and wrapped in a pristine white satin ribbon, wound smoothly from base to bloom, and finished with a small, symmetrical bow that sits just beneath the rose, suggesting the boutonniere is ready to be pinned on a suit for a wedding or formal celebration. The lighting in the image is gentle and even, casting no harsh shadows, but instead highlighting the subtle curves of each petal, the crisp edges of the ribbon, and the fine structure of the baby's breath. The overall mood is one of quiet sophistication and tender expectation, the kind of floral accent you might see on a groom walking from a nearby Nunhead terrace towards his ceremony, carrying with him the promise of a new beginning and the thoughtful touch of a skilled local florist.
