RETIREMENT FLOWERS
This photograph presents a rounded, hand-tied bouquet set against a clear white backdrop, emphasising its vibrant colours and careful craftsmanship. At the heart of the design are two standout deep red roses, their petals tightly layered and rich in tone, symbolising love, respect and sincere admiration. These roses are surrounded by a circle of white daisy-like chrysanthemums, each bloom clean and bright, with narrow petals radiating from striking lime-green centres that catch the eye and add a sense of youthful energy. Woven among the white flowers are soft-pink to medium-pink daisy-style blooms, also with vivid green hearts, their delicate shades offering a tender contrast to the bolder red roses while harmonising beautifully with the white. Between these larger blossoms, fine stems of pale pink waxflower are interspersed, their numerous tiny, star-shaped flowers creating a lace-like texture that gives the bouquet depth and a gentle, whimsical feel. The entire composition is anchored by lush green foliage, including broad, glossy leaves and lighter green accents that peek out between the blooms, framing the colours and adding structure. The stems at the base are neatly bundled and trimmed, clearly showing the bouquet as a professionally hand-tied arrangement ready for a vase in a Tooting Bec kitchen or living room. The overall effect is one of warmth, freshness and subtle romance, perfect for sending as a celebration bouquet, a message of thanks or a comforting 'get well soon' gift to loved ones living near Tooting Bec Common, Balham High Road or the quiet residential streets nearby.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
Shown head-on against a bright white background, this mixed flower bouquet appears almost to float, its colours and textures jumping forward with vivid clarity, like a fresh delivery arriving at a townhouse off Tooting Bec Road. The bouquet is tightly gathered into a rounded shape that feels generous and thoughtfully crafted. At the centre, several fully opened bi-colour roses take pride of place, their petals spiralling from radiant golden yellow cores through soft tangerine hues to a subtle reddish-orange along the outer rims. These warm, sunset-like tones bring immediate warmth and comfort. Spirited white daisy-style chrysanthemums are scattered through the design, their neat, snow-white petals encircling bright lime-green discs that add an energising freshness reminiscent of early morning walks across Tooting Bec Common. Threaded among them, clusters of small magenta chrysanthemums provide rich contrast; each compact bloom is packed with velvety fuchsia petals and finished with yellow-green centres, echoing the daisies while deepening the overall palette. Dark green foliage, with smooth, glossy leaves, curves gently around the flowers, adding structure and a natural frame that keeps the arrangement cohesive. The stems at the base are gathered and trimmed cleanly, their green and light brown shades visible, suggesting just-cut freshness and professional care. This bouquet radiates joy, affection, and a sense of occasion, ideal for marking birthdays, anniversaries, new homes in the area, or simply brightening a kitchen table near Tooting Bec Underground. The interplay of white, yellow, orange, and magenta feels both lively and reassuring, creating a design that speaks of thoughtful, heartfelt sentiment.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
This artfully composed bouquet by Tooting Bec's local floral experts radiates happiness and vibrancy, channelling the colourful spirit of the South London community. From a slightly elevated viewpoint, the eye is drawn first to lush spirals of rose petals glowing with peach and orange warmth-each bloom reminiscent of sunrise over Tooting Bec Lido. These central roses are accompanied by lively clusters of chrysanthemums: some are snowy white, their clean petals radiating from bright green centers that gleam against the other warm hues, while others dazzle with magenta or purple shades and lime-green eyes, offering a striking counterpoint that brings bold energy to the whole. Sleek, dark green foliage weaves between the flowers, adding fullness and a touch of woodland shade, grounding the arrangement like the parks that make Tooting Bec so vibrant. Elegantly sweeping above, a loop of slender green bear grass lends a playful, modern accent. Everything is gently gathered in a tangy orange wrap-crinkled, fresh, and inviting-making this bouquet perfect for same-day delivery anywhere around Tooting Broadway or Streatham, ready to lift spirits or celebrate life's joyful moments. The arrangement evokes a sense of shared laughter, the hum of community, and those everyday celebrations that feel extraordinary in the right light.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
A lush, dome-shaped bouquet of chrysanthemums is carefully arranged and presented against a clean white background, creating an impression of serenity and fresh air, much like an early walk through Tooting Bec Common. The design is centred on generous white and creamy off-white chrysanthemums whose petals open in full, layered circles, each bloom featuring a soft green or buttery-yellow heart. These larger flowers give the bouquet a soft, cloud-like fullness. Nestled among them are delicate stems of white spray chrysanthemums, each with multiple daisy-like heads that dance lightly above the mass of petals, adding movement and a fine, lacy texture. Between the whites, vivid lime-green pompon chrysanthemums are placed with purpose; their compact, spherical form and velvety petals provide a striking contrast, offering little sparks of colour that keep the eye moving around the arrangement. Dark green foliage is threaded through the bouquet, framing the flowers with rich, natural tones and lending a sense of garden freshness you might associate with local front gardens along Balham High Road or near Church Lane. All the stems are gathered with care and bound tightly at the base with a wide lime-green satin ribbon, the bow forming smooth, glossy loops that echo the playful green button blooms above. The overall mood is calm yet uplifting, making this bouquet a versatile choice to send best wishes, to comfort someone, or to brighten a dining table or reception desk in Tooting Bec. The combination of white purity and vibrant green suggests new beginnings, reassurance, and quiet celebration.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
A lush, round bouquet of mixed flowers is photographed against a spotless white backdrop, the simplicity of the setting drawing the eye directly to the rich play of colour and texture crafted by an experienced Tooting Bec florist. At the heart of the design, several large roses in a soothing blend of creamy white and pale butter-yellow are fully open, their petals spiralling inward with the smooth, velvety look of satin, giving the composition a classic, romantic anchor. Clustered generously around them are vivid fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums, each bloom radiating fine, slightly tousled petals around a lively yellow-green centre, like tiny suns glowing against the pink. Interspersed among these bold tones are sprays of small white daisies that resemble chamomile, with dainty white petals and soft yellow centres that lend the arrangement a light, countryside charm, echoing the relaxed, green feel of Tooting Bec Common after a rain shower. A few darker purple-pink chrysanthemum buds peek out from the interior of the bouquet, adding subtle depth and a sense of unfolding life. The whole arrangement is laced with fresh green foliage, from the serrated leaves of the mums to the smoother, glossy rose leaves, which frame the blossoms and keep the overall look balanced and natural. All the stems are drawn together tightly at the base and secured with a neat green and white check-patterned ribbon, suggesting a hand-crafted, ready-to-deliver gift, ideal for same-day surprise deliveries across Tooting Bec and nearby Balham.

MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A lush hydrangea bouquet is photographed against a spotless white background, its rounded form taking on the softness of a summer cloud drifting over Tooting Bec. Dominating the centre is a voluminous head of creamy white hydrangea, every tiny floret contributing to a plush, almost cushion-like surface that looks velvety and inviting to the touch. To either side and slightly above, generous clusters of pastel blue hydrangeas open outward, their gentle colour recalling the pale sky above Tooting Bec Common after a light rain. At the base and weaving between the upper blooms, lime-green and chartreuse hydrangea heads introduce a crisp, uplifting note, like the first tender leaves in spring along the quieter residential roads off Trinity Road. 

Threaded through the hydrangeas is a carefully composed selection of greenery. Silvery eucalyptus leaves curve gracefully through the bouquet, their soft, dusty finish and characteristic round shapes bringing cool refinement and an impression of their fresh, aromatic scent. Contrasting with these are deeper, glossy green leaves that create pockets of shadow, adding structure and depth while framing the larger flower heads. The stems of the hydrangeas and foliage are left natural, clearly visible where they are firmly gathered and bound at the bottom, emphasising the hand-crafted nature of the design. The bright, neutral lighting enhances the pastel palette and crisp greens, allowing every edge and texture to stand out clearly. Overall, the image conveys a sense of calm elegance and gentle abundance, perfectly suited to moments of quiet celebration-a birthday surprise, a welcome-to-your-new-home gift in Tooting Bec, or a soothing arrangement to bring soft colour into a minimalist interior.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
Displayed against a crisp white backdrop, this professionally arranged hand-tied bouquet bursts with life, its colours and textures layered in a way that feels both modern and timeless. In the heart of the design, blush-pink roses open in gentle spirals, their soft, velvety petals suggesting affection and thoughtfulness, like a quiet gesture shared between neighbours near Tooting Bec station. Nestled alongside them, sunny yellow gerbera daisies with deep chocolate-brown centres bring a confident, playful energy, their wide, flat faces catching the imagined light and drawing the eye immediately. Above this warm core, tall stems of vivid blue delphinium rise gracefully, each made up of multiple small florets in cool ocean tones, adding height and a cool counterbalance to the bouquet's warmth. The flowers are enveloped in a tapestry of greenery: delicate fern fronds peek out from the edges, loose and feathery; dense cushions of bright green filler foliage lend a moss-like texture; and large, glossy tropical-style leaves, some gently banded with lighter stripes, are wrapped around the base of the blooms to create a sculpted, collar-like frame. Slim green stems with tiny unopened buds reach upward from the top of the arrangement, introducing a sense of movement and fresh growth, reminiscent of new shoots in a local Tooting Bec garden after rain. Below, the natural green stems are neatly aligned and tied with a simple, pale wrap, suggesting a hand-crafted bouquet ready for delivery. The overall mood is uplifting and celebratory, suitable for birthdays, promotions, or simply sending a ray of colour to someone special in SW17.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
This hand-tied bouquet appears almost painterly against its clean white backdrop, like a still life carefully composed in a Tooting Bec studio. In the centre, lush garden roses in shades of blush, dusty mauve, and antique rose open in graceful spirals, their layered petals suggesting soft, romantic movement. Around them, abundant bicolour carnations add drama: their creamy interiors gradually deepen to vivid fuchsia and plum-pink edges, every ruffled petal catching the light and creating ripples of texture. Punctuating these warm pink tones are deep blue flowers, some held in refined, tulip-like buds, others fuller and velvety, bringing a cool, jewel-toned contrast reminiscent of evening skies over Tooting Bec Common. Near the base, a standout royal blue anemone with a dark, almost black centre anchors the composition and draws the gaze downward. Delicate spires of lilac and pale lavender stock rise gently between the larger blooms, their clusters of small blossoms lending vertical flow and a hint of the soft, powdery fragrance you might notice when you step into a neighbourhood florist just off Trinity Road. Fresh foliages-broad, dark rose leaves and round, silvery eucalyptus-thread through the design, framing the colours and suggesting a crisp, aromatic greenness. The stems are gathered firmly yet elegantly, visible at the base to show a freshly tied finish ready for delivery. The overall mood is one of quiet celebration and comfort, perfectly suited to birthdays, new baby congratulations, or a reassuring 'thinking of you' for friends and family across Tooting Bec and nearby Balham.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
As each flower nestles into place beneath the practiced hands of a Tooting Bec florist, the interplay of pink roses and blush gerberas emerges as a radiant tribute to the neighbourhood's vibrant energy and sense of renewal. The bouquet glows softly, its pastel hues melting together like the dawn sky over Tooting Bec Common, framed in a slender glass cylinder that allows the natural beauty of the stems to shine through. Deep violet statice blossoms punctuate the arrangement, adding contrast and a sense of spirited movement reminiscent of the colourful market stalls along Balham High Road. Dewy, cool foliage encircles the blooms, creating a feeling of freshness akin to early spring mornings. The entire composition is both airy and inviting, designed to catch the eye without overwhelming-a perfect pick-me-up for a get-well wish or a stylish centrepiece within a bustling Tooting living room.

PINK DAZE
£49.00
Against a clean white backdrop, this hand-tied bouquet appears almost to float, its colours and textures carefully balanced like a thoughtfully planted border in a well-loved Tooting Bec garden. Several pastel pink roses, some still cupped and others more open, reveal spirals of petals that graduate from deeper rosy centers to softer, powdery pink edges. Around them, generous carnations in dusty rose and mauve shades bring a plush, ruffled volume, creating a sense of softness and comfort at the core of the arrangement. Punctuating this cushion of blooms, tall stems of deep violet-blue Veronica stretch upward, giving the bouquet a graceful, slightly wild silhouette, as though freshly gathered from the edges of Tooting Bec Common. Rich purple lisianthus blooms, with their satin-like petals, nestle among the roses, adding sophisticated depth and contrast. Scattered between, delicate aster-like flowers in pale lavender-blue with tiny yellow centers introduce a cloud of airy detail, their starry forms lightening the overall composition. Fresh greenery in multiple textures winds throughout: bright lime-green filler offers a lively, almost citrusy pop of colour, while eucalyptus and other foliage in cooler blue-greens create a soothing frame. The stems are skillfully bound at the base, fanning out neatly to show the natural hand-tied craftsmanship of an experienced local florist. This bouquet conveys quiet celebration and heartfelt care, perfect for same-day delivery across Tooting Bec to mark a birthday near Trinity Road, a new home, a simple "thinking of you" gesture, or to bring refined seasonal colour into a dining room or office space.

Designed by expert florists in the heart of Tooting Bec, this striking bouquet channels the cheerful vibrancy of the neighbourhood's green spaces. Sunflowers stand tall at the centre, each velvety face beaming outward as though greeting the sun above Tooting Bec Common. Around them, buttery yellow roses unfurl in lush, sculpted spirals, their gentle scent evoking memories of blooming borders in local community gardens. Scarlet red Hypericum berries, reminiscent of the lantern-bright shop fronts along Balham High Road, animate the arrangement with lively energy. Billowing clouds of ferns and slender wisps of greenery lend softness and texture, capturing the relaxed flow found in the winding paths of local parks. Subtle accents of goldenrod and light-green filler thread through, while silver-toned eucalyptus leaves peep out, lending a serene balance. The spherical glass vase cradles the bouquet, its transparency revealing vivid green stems and reflecting the clear, honest flair Tooting Bec residents love. Artfully composed, this bouquet celebrates togetherness, making it an uplifting choice for birthdays, reunions, or simply inviting the joyful colours of Tooting into your own home.
SUNNY FIELDS

Against a pristine white background, a buoyant bouquet of Gerbera daisies captures the eye-a riot of sunny yellow, vibrant orange, and bold fuchsia blooms thoughtfully arranged to convey energy and optimism. Each petal is touched by soft, natural light, bringing out subtle nuances in colour and texture, while the flowers' classic dark centers provide a dramatic visual anchor. The composition is accented with rich green leaves that add depth, conjuring images of a well-kept Tooting Bec garden in May. The entire bouquet feels as if it was gathered freshly from local allotments, tied with natural twine and wrapped first in protective, gleaming cellophane, then in rustic kraft paper that rustles softly when handled. Stems are visible, neat and lively, within the vase's transparent curves, their ends immersed in clear water to ensure continued freshness for days after delivery in neighborhoods like Balham or Streatham.

SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
Arranged with the skill and passion of a Tooting Bec florist, this lavish gift set is a symphony of sensory pleasure, perfectly capturing the glow of heartfelt moments. At its center, a rounded bouquet of roses radiates with nuanced color, each bloom transitioning from a golden-cream heart to shades of coral, salmon, and deep rosy pink-like the blush of dawn filtering through Tooting Bec windows. The petal edges often reveal soft bicolours, their gentle ombre effect heightened by the dappled interplay of daylight. Dark, glossy greenery weaves throughout, forming a framing embrace reminiscent of the mature trees lining Tooting Bec Road. Nestled in the lower-left, a Thorntons Orange Crisp pouch, with its refined cream design and clear, inviting illustration, offers a promise of gourmand delight. Two truffles, proudly unwrapped in front, display their lustrous milk chocolate sheen, suggesting a tangy orange centre offset by crunchy wafer-a true treat for the senses. The scene calls to mind the joy of celebrations, meaningful milestones, or even quiet acts of love shared in a Tooting Bec park.

SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
Presented with elegant flourish against a pure white backdrop, this bouquet is a living tapestry of colour and form devised with care by a skilled Tooting Bec florist. At its heart bloom full, lavish heads of hydrangea, shifting from dusk-blue and muted teal to subtle purple-a palette that recalls the calming waters of the local lido under early morning light. Surrounding these, classic roses unfurl in pale lavender and creamy white, their satin petals curling softly outward, symbolising romance and dignity. Punctuating the lushness, clusters of white ranunculus display many-layered ruffles, while stems of pale yellow and blush eustoma rise elegantly, some buds closed tight, others opening to the day-inviting thoughts of springtime strolls along Ritherdon Road. Bright sprays of fuchsia-pink filler flowers bring cheerful energy, while feathery pale pink astilbe soften the silhouette, trailing lightly at the bouquet's edge. Almost translucent light green and white filler blooms, akin to Queen Anne's Lace, lend intricate dimension and airiness. Each element is supported by deep green foliage, which frames the composition and subtly connects it to the parks that characterise the area. Bound together in perfect cohesion, the stems are secured by a wide, shimmering purple ribbon, adding both luxury and harmonious balance.
