CHEAP FLOWERS
A bright, joyful bouquet is photographed square-on against a spotless white background, so the colours appear almost to float in mid-air. The flowers are gathered into a rounded, full shape that looks abundant and carefully balanced, like the work of an experienced local florist who understands how to layer colour and texture. At the forefront, several bi-coloured roses open in spirals of warm tones, their hearts a rich golden yellow that gradually deepens into orange and a soft, reddish glow along the outer petals. Nestled around them are numerous white chrysanthemum daisies, each bloom forming a clean star of petals around a lively lime-green centre that injects a sense of freshness and energy. Threaded throughout the bouquet, compact heads of magenta or fuchsia chrysanthemums provide a deeper, jewel-toned contrast; their densely packed petals give a plush, cushion-like appearance, while their yellow-green centres harmonise with the daisy eyes. Dark, glossy foliage emerges here and there, framing the blooms and adding a natural, leafy depth that recalls walks through local green spaces near Shacklewell, such as Clissold Park or the quieter residential gardens. The stems are clearly visible at the base, trimmed evenly and gathered into a tidy bundle, making it obvious that this is a professionally hand-tied design ready for a favourite vase. Soft, even lighting allows you almost to feel the velvety texture of the rose petals and the firmer, structured petals of the chrysanthemums. The overall impression is one of optimism, gratitude, and cheer, perfect for marking birthdays, thank-you gestures, or housewarmings across Shacklewell and surrounding neighbourhoods.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
There is a gentle, cultivated serenity to this arrangement that feels as if it was gathered from an English cottage border, then refined for the sitting room. Pale blush roses form the heart of the bouquet, their layered petals soft to the eye and plush to the fingertips, while delicate white snowberry-like clusters and tiny waxflower sprays scatter light and texture through the composition. The eucalyptus foliage - dusty, blue-green and rounded - cools the palette and carries a subtle aromatic lift that anchors the scent profile, inviting a slow, calming breath. Small touches of lavender-leaning pink and deeper burgundy provide surprising pockets of shadow and richness, and taller, slender spikes at the edges add a graceful vertical line that feels natural and unforced. Presented in gentle daylight, the whole arrangement reads as comforting and quietly joyful, perfect for welcoming a new home, sending warm congratulations, or offering comfort during a reflective moment. As a local florist in Shacklewell I imagine pairing this bouquet with a handwritten note and same-day delivery to nearby streets and to neighbours around Dalston and Clissold Park, where the seasonal palette mirrors the changing beds of the parks. Shacklewell Florist selects each stem with intention so the arrangement is tactile - the velvet of rose heads beside the slight prickle of greenery - and crafted to evoke both familiarity and quiet elegance. The overall impression is that of skilled hands shaping natural abundance into a composed, intimate gift.
FLORIST CHOICE £50
£50.00
Carefully arranged on a pure white background, this compact, museum-bright bouquet pairs exuberant magenta Gerbera daisies with elegant creamy white roses and deep purple Alstroemeria for a rich, balanced statement. The Gerberas dominate with their vibrant, almost fuchsia petals radiating from darker centres, projecting immediate cheer; the roses respond with softer, layered blooms that introduce a quiet, tactile softness. Between them, Alstroemeria bring narrow, trumpet-shaped petals and subtle speckling that adds intricate detail when viewed closely. A variety of lush green foliage - from broad, glossy leaves to slimmer, sword-like blades - creates a sculpted backdrop, giving the bouquet its full, rounded profile and a natural rhythm of shadow and highlight. A clear glass vase peeks into view at the base, stabilising the stems and reflecting a sliver of light against the pristine white setting. As a local florist I often picture this design delivered across Shacklewell and neighbouring Dalston or Stoke Newington, where the colours lift interiors and market tables alike; at dawn it reads bright and fresh, at dusk it keeps a sophisticated warmth. This arrangement works beautifully as a celebratory centrepiece, a heartfelt gift to brighten someone's day, or a polished accent for an event. At Shacklewell Florist we craft each stem with attention to scent, touch, and proportion so the finished bouquet feels both joyful and considered, a floral moment that quietly celebrates everyday life in the neighbourhood.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
An exuberant maternity bouquet in shades of pink stands out clearly against a pure white background, radiating the kind of happiness that fills a room during a baby shower in Shacklewell. Dominating the arrangement, large fuchsia gerbera daisies unfurl their many petals around deep, almost inky centres, giving a playful yet striking focal point. Woven between them are soft pink roses, some still cup-shaped and guarded, others more open, their velvety petals curling outwards in gentle spirals that evoke warmth and affection. Sprigs of tiny purple filler flowers, reminiscent of statice or limonium, introduce a misty layer of texture, their petite blossoms catching the light and softening the transition between the stronger colours. Rich green foliage surrounds and supports the blooms, from slim, arching leaves to fuller, polished greens that create a balanced, rounded silhouette. The stems are gathered and wrapped in layers of bright and pastel pink tissue paper, overlaid with glossy clear cellophane that adds a subtle shine, like reflections in the windows of nearby homes along Shacklewell Lane. The wrap forms a ruffled collar around the base, making the bouquet feel thoughtfully presented and ready to hand over. Just in front, a cheerful round foil balloon in vivid pink adds a playful finishing touch. Decorated with crisp white polka dots and trimmed with a scalloped edge, it bears the joyful message "Mum to Be!" in elegant white script, with a small heart motif tucked beneath the words. This arrangement visually speaks of new beginnings, perfect for congratulating an expectant parent with same-day delivery across Shacklewell and the surrounding Dalston and Stoke Newington streets.
MUM TO BE
£60.00
A sculpted bouquet of soft white and cool green, photographed upright against a neutral white background, that speaks of calm and gentle celebration. Central to the design are numerous white chrysanthemum blooms, each daisy-like head defined by layers of fine petals arcing away from a warm yellow centre, lending a cheerful yet composed focal point. Threaded through the chrysanthemums are several elongated lily buds in a pale green-yellow, some with subtle striping on their outer sheaths; their unopened form introduces a poised, anticipatory energy - like a quiet promise that the bouquet will slowly unfurl. Airy sprays of baby's breath (Gypsophila) are woven among the larger flowers, their tiny snowy blossoms creating a soft, frothy texture that cushions and diffuses the stronger shapes. Rich, dark green foliage and glossy stems sit beneath and behind the blooms, giving depth and a cool contrast to the pristine whites. The bouquet is wrapped in a layer of rustic, crinkled kraft paper and finished with a clear cellophane overlay that protects and highlights the arrangement; the gathered base is tied to form a practical, portable stand. As a local florist in Shacklewell, this composition feels at home arriving at a quiet flat off Stoke Newington Church Street or being picked up near Ridley Road Market - its scent is fresh, with a subtle green, grassy note and a clean floral wash. This arrangement conveys sincerity and understated elegance, appropriate for birthdays, new beginnings, sympathy, or a peaceful thank-you, and reflects the attentive craft of an experienced neighbourhood florist.
PURE ELEGANCE
£65.00
A vibrant, rounded bouquet in a crisp white cube box dominates the frame, set against a spotless white background that lets every petal and shade stand out, much like a colourful corner on Shacklewell Lane. The flowers are arranged densely to form a generous dome, giving the impression of abundance and careful craftsmanship. At the heart of the design, bright yellow chrysanthemums and clusters of yellow spray roses create a glowing centre, their many layered petals and tight buds recalling late-afternoon sunshine over nearby Clissold Park. Surrounding these, clusters of white daisy-like chrysanthemums with clearly defined green eyes appear to float between the other blooms, introducing a fresh, airy balance. Larger, full-petalled white chrysanthemums add soft volume, their slightly ruffled edges catching gentle highlights that suggest softness to the touch. Woven thoughtfully through the yellows and whites are bold fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums, some with subtle lighter pink tones at the tips, creating a rich tapestry of colour that feels both playful and elegant. Here and there, dainty pink and yellow rosebuds push through the canopy, contributing delicate shapes and a sense of unfolding life. Deep green foliage, possibly ruscus, provides a sturdy framework; its smooth, elongated leaves peek out between flowers, intensifying the brightness of the blooms through contrast. The minimalist white box that holds the arrangement appears sturdy and gift-ready, an easy fit for a doorstep delivery to homes around Shacklewell, Newington Green, or Dalston Junction. This image portrays a joyful, uplifting floral gift, ideal as a centrepiece for a family celebration, a get-well gesture, or a thoughtful surprise to brighten a grey East London morning.
SPARKLING EYES
£50.00
A lush, dome-shaped bouquet of chrysanthemums sits gracefully against a clean white backdrop, every bloom arranged to highlight a soothing palette of white, soft cream, and vivid lime green. The eye is first drawn to the larger chrysanthemum heads, whose layered petals unfold in soft, rounded waves, forming generous white and creamy cushions with pale green or lemony centres that glow gently in the light. Nestled among them are delicate sprays of smaller, daisy-like chrysanthemums, their crisp white petals and petite scale giving the design a sense of airiness and movement, as if the bouquet might gently sway on a windowsill overlooking Shacklewell Green. Scattered throughout are spherical lime green pompon chrysanthemums, tightly packed and almost velvety in appearance, providing a lively contrast that energises the arrangement without overwhelming its calm spirit. Deep, glossy green foliage peeks through the flowers, framing the blooms and adding a subtle sense of structure and depth, much like the leafy corners and hidden gardens found around Shacklewell and Stoke Newington. At the base, the long stems are carefully aligned and bound with a wide, satin lime green ribbon, tied into multiple loops that catch the light and mirror the cheerful green tones above. This hand-crafted bouquet radiates purity, renewal, and quiet optimism, making it a fitting choice for celebrating a new home in E8, sending a thoughtful "get well soon," or marking a fresh beginning. The composition feels both contemporary and timeless, as though arranged by an attentive local florist who understands the relaxed yet stylish character of the Shacklewell community.
