CHEAP FLOWERS
This image shows a lavish, rounded bouquet photographed head-on against a spotless white background, its colours and textures popping as though illuminated by soft daylight filtering over Mottingham's tree-lined streets. Several large roses dominate the centre of the arrangement, their bi-colour petals blending from luminous golden yellow at the heart to richer orange and subtle reddish-orange tones along the outer edges. These roses give the bouquet a feeling of warmth and gentle luxury. Encircling them are crisp white daisy-like chrysanthemums, each bloom composed of slender, evenly spaced petals surrounding a bold lime-green centre, offering a refreshing contrast that lightens the overall palette. Scattered throughout are clusters of smaller, jewel-toned chrysanthemums in vivid magenta and fuchsia, their densely layered petals forming compact domes with yellow-green centres that echo the brightness of the daisies while deepening the visual richness, like a splash of colour seen in Mottingham gardens at peak bloom. Dark green foliage emerges between the flowers, adding texture and depth, while also framing the blossoms to create a natural, slightly wild balance within the carefully crafted design. At the bottom, the stems are neatly gathered and trimmed, clearly visible against the white background and suggesting a fresh, hand-tied bouquet ready to be placed in a favourite vase on a Mottingham kitchen table. The overall composition feels joyful yet composed, perfect for marking special days, offering thanks, or simply bringing a feeling of celebration and comfort into a local home with its blend of white, yellow, orange, magenta, and leafy green.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
Soft blush garden roses take centre stage in this carefully composed hand-tied bouquet, each rose head petal-soft and fully opened to reveal romantic, layered centres. Around them a portrait of texture unfolds: clusters of bright white berries - the crisp punctuation points among the blooms - and sprays of tiny white filler flowers that flutter like lace. Rounded, silvery-blue eucalyptus leaves provide a cool, aromatic frame, their muted tones balancing the pale pinks, while small burgundy and deeper-pink florets add depth and warmth. Taller, slender flower spikes peek at the edges to lend vertical movement and a natural, unstructured charm. The stems are bound with a cream satin ribbon that speaks to bespoke craft; from tip to ribbon the bouquet reads as a tactile poem - velvet roses, waxy berries, slightly prickly greenery. Photographed in gentle daylight against a softly blurred ornate plaster backdrop, the arrangement exudes calm celebration and quiet refinement. As a local florist working around Mottingham station, Sidcup Road and the green spaces near Scadbury Park, I imagine delivering this to a neighbour celebrating a milestone birthday, a new home on the high street, or as a thoughtful thank-you. For those who want a locally-grown feel with professional finishing, Florist Mottingham can recreate this look with fresh seasonal stems for delivery across Mottingham and nearby Chislehurst, keeping the same elegant balance of scent, colour and texture.
FLORIST CHOICE £50
£50.00
Composed with a balance of sophistication and friendly exuberance, this bouquet is captured against a pure white background that emphasizes both colour and form. Vivid magenta Gerbera daisies take centre stage, their dense, nearly fuchsia petals radiating around dark, textured disks and giving the arrangement an immediate, optimistic energy. Creamy white roses are threaded through the design, their layers of delicate petals unfolding with a quiet, classic grace and offering a soothing contrast to the Gerberas' boldness. Sprays of deep purple Alstroemeria add an exotic, patterned note; their trumpet-shaped blooms and subtle streaks of darker pigment create depth and visual whispers of movement among the larger heads. The foliage is fresh and glossy, a tapestry of broad leaves and narrow, sword-like greens that provide structure and a cool verdant backdrop that enhances the flower colours. The whole bouquet sits in soft, even light that reveals petal texture and the faint, natural scent you might catch when lifting it - a crisp, clean floral note anchored by the roses' gentle perfume. As a Mottingham florist who often prepares bouquets for neighbours picking up flowers on Mottingham Lane or dropping them off to a nearby home on Grove Park Road, I picture this design brightening morning coffee tables, reception desks, or small celebration tables. It feels like a thoughtful gift to cheer a friend, appropriate for an anniversary, or simply a fresh, modern accent for a living room. The arrangement's crafted fullness and lively palette convey warmth, careful attention to proportion, and a touch of local, everyday joy.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
Set against a pure white backdrop, this maternity-themed bouquet seems to glow with the soft, hopeful energy of new beginnings, like a quiet morning walk through Mottingham's leafy side streets. Dominating the arrangement are vivid fuchsia gerbera daisies, their dark centres ringed by bold, symmetrical petals that create a confident splash of colour. Around them, varying shades of pink roses-from blush to a deeper, romantic pink-appear in different stages of bloom, some curled tightly, others opening into layered rosettes. These roses bring a feeling of tenderness and calm, balancing the gerberas' exuberance. Threaded gently throughout are clusters of tiny purple filler flowers, lending a delicate, almost cloud-like texture that softens the design and adds a cool, complementary tone. Fresh green foliage, both glossy and matte, peeks between the stems, giving the bouquet structure and a natural, garden-fresh feel, as if just gathered from a well-tended local Mottingham garden. The stems are wrapped in swirls of pink tissue paper and sheathed in clear, reflective cellophane, creating a ruffled collar that looks both protective and festive, ideal for presenting at a baby shower in SE9 or a cosy celebration at home. In front of the flowers, a small, round foil balloon sits proudly, its bright pink surface covered in cheerful white polka dots. The words "Mum to Be!" are written in elegant white script, with a charming heart detail nestled between, emphasising love and expectation. The composition as a whole is joyful yet tender, a perfect floral snapshot of waiting, hoping, and celebrating new life.
MUM TO BE
£60.00
A fresh, elegantly understated bouquet presented upright on a plain white backdrop, where the purity of white and green is the guiding theme. The arrangement centres on numerous pristine white chrysanthemum heads, each formed of many narrow petals unfurling from a warm yellow centre that gives the cluster a quietly cheerful focal point. Nestled among these are several long, pale green-yellow lily buds, some softly striped, hinting at future blossom and bringing a poised architectural line to the rounder daisies. Light, feathery sprays of baby's breath (Gypsophila) drift between the larger flowers, their tiny blooms creating a soft, cloud-like veil that brightens the composition and introduces gentle, romantic airiness. Rich, deep-green leaves provide contrast and definition, their glossy texture grounding the whites and drawing the eye through the bouquet. The stems are hand-gathered and wrapped in an inner layer of crinkled brown kraft paper for an organic, market-fresh feel, then sealed in a clear cellophane wrap that sparkles faintly in the light and protects the stems during transit; the base is neatly tied to form a stable stand. As a local florist familiar with Mottingham's mornings near the station and the small, friendly shops along the high street, I picture this bouquet arriving on a doorstep as a quiet celebration, a thoughtful thank-you, or a calm expression of sympathy. For families who appreciate simple, honest floristry, this combination of white lilies, chrysanthemums, and gypsophila reads as pure, dependable, and thoughtfully composed by Florist Mottingham.
PURE ELEGANCE
£65.00
A lush, rounded bouquet of mixed flowers is beautifully styled in a modern white cube box, set against a seamless white background so the colours appear almost to glow. The arrangement has a generous, abundant feel, with every space filled by blooms or foliage, creating a soft dome of colour. Joyful yellow chrysanthemums form the main highlight, their layered petals giving a fluffy, cushion-like effect that suggests sunshine and comfort. Interspersed with them are small yellow roses and spray roses, some tightly closed, others just starting to reveal their spiralled hearts, bringing a sense of unfolding joy. White daisy-style chrysanthemums with bright green eyes punctuate the design, adding a fresh, country-garden touch, while larger white chrysanthemums contribute a smooth, pillowy texture. Vivid fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums weave through the yellows and whites in unexpected bursts, their velvety petals introducing depth and a slightly more dramatic, contemporary note. Around the edges and between the flower heads, deep green, glossy leaves form a lush collar, giving structure and contrast, much like the leafy trees that line the streets around Mottingham Village and the paths leading towards Grove Park. The clean-lined white box holding the flowers acts as a simple, elegant frame, allowing the bouquet's colours to take centre stage without distraction. This arrangement feels perfect for a cheerful birthday surprise, a get-well-soon gesture, or a bright "just because" delivery to a home or workplace in Mottingham, capturing both the energy of springtime and the cosy friendliness of the local community.
SPARKLING EYES
£50.00
A lush, hand-crafted bouquet of chrysanthemums is displayed against a clean white backdrop, creating a sense of clarity and stillness that draws the eye into every detail. At the heart of the design are countless white and creamy-ivory chrysanthemum heads, their petals layered in soft, concentric rings that give the bouquet a pillowy, cloud-like fullness. Threaded between them are clusters of delicate white spray chrysanthemums, each tiny, daisy-like flower adding flickers of brightness and texture, as though scattered by a gentle breeze over a Mottingham garden. Punctuating this softness are vivid lime green pompon chrysanthemums, round and tightly packed, their button shapes adding a contemporary twist to the otherwise classic composition. The interplay of white, cream, and fresh green tones creates an impression of early spring light after rain, reminiscent of strolling along Mottingham Road when the hedges are just beginning to green. Dark, resilient foliage supports the flowers from beneath, with serrated chrysanthemum leaves and other greenery offering depth and contrast, so the bouquet feels both structured and naturally loose. The stems are carefully aligned and bound at the base with a broad lime green satin ribbon, tied into an elegant multi-loop bow that mirrors the brightness of the green blooms and adds a celebratory flourish. This bouquet carries a sense of serenity and renewal, ideal for marking new beginnings, sending a "get well soon" message, or bringing peaceful brightness into a Mottingham living room or hallway. It feels like a gentle, hopeful gesture, crafted with the quiet skill you'd expect from an experienced local florist.
