CHEAP FLOWERS
A rounded mixed bouquet bursts forward against a spotless white background, every blossom carefully positioned to show off its colour and character, as if a Wanstead florist has just set it down on the counter for inspection. Dominating the eye are large, bi-colour roses, their petals curling outward from intense golden yellow hearts into layers of warm orange and faint reddish-orange, creating a glowing, almost ember-like effect. Around and between these roses, white daisy-style chrysanthemums form a crisp ring of light; their petals are bright and clean, and each has a luminous lime-green centre that feels fresh and zesty, like the first green leaves along Overton Drive in early spring. Weaving through this white and yellow foundation are clusters of compact magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, their many fine petals building dense, cushiony domes with small yellow-green eyes. These rich tones add depth, drama and a touch of modern flair. A collar of dark green foliage, similar to ruscus, peeks between the blooms, providing contrast and a more natural, garden-picked feel. At the base, the stems are gathered tightly, cut straight and visible against the white ground, suggesting a hand-tied arrangement ready for a vase in a Wanstead living room. The lighting is even and soft, revealing every texture without harsh shadows, and the bouquet radiates joy, warmth and appreciation. It feels perfect for celebrating a promotion, saying thank you to a neighbour near Wanstead Station, or simply lifting someone's spirits with a radiant, thoughtfully arranged gift of mixed flowers.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
There is a gentle, English-garden calm woven through this hand-tied bouquet: blush garden roses with soft, layered petals sit at the centre, their warm pink tones tempered by the cool, dusty-blue of eucalyptus leaves fanning outward. Tiny cloud-like white fillers - perhaps waxflower or astrantia - dapple the arrangement, while clusters of round white berries add a crisp, modern texture against the rose petals. Small, richer-toned pink and burgundy sprigs tuck into the depths, creating pockets of shadow and visual warmth, as taller, slender green-and-white flower spikes reminiscent of snapdragons lend upright movement and a touch of formality. The stems have been bound with a cream-coloured ribbon that falls into soft folds, suggesting a bespoke, handcrafted finish. Bathed in soft daylight, the bouquet gives off a subtle eucalyptus scent that underpins the floral sweetness, and the interplay of velvet petals with waxy, cooling foliage invites the fingertips to explore - a tactile contrast that feels both soothing and enlivening. Resting on an ornate, pale carved surface, the arrangement reads as effortlessly elegant: suitable for a milestone birthday, a quiet anniversary, or to brighten a home. As a local florist's selection, it speaks of seasonal picking and considered placement; every stem appears intentionally chosen and set, reflecting the confident hand of a designer who values texture, proportion, and the understated joy of fresh blooms delivered with care.
FLORIST CHOICE £50
£50.00
I arranged this bouquet to balance refinement with an energetic, approachable cheer - a sensibility familiar to anyone walking Wanstead High Street on market mornings. Creamy white roses bring a classic, composed centre: their layered, velvety petals open in a slow, reassuring cadence and offer a faint, classic rose scent that is never overpowering. Interspersed deliberately are vivid purple-pink Gerbera daisies, each with a bold circular face and tightly packed petals that read like a friendly smile from across the room. Slender sprays of Alstroemeria echo the gerberas' tonal family while introducing delicate speckling and trumpet-like forms that suggest movement, as if the arrangement were gently breathing. The greenery is intentionally glossy and varied - broad leaves for structure, narrower blades to lift and separate blooms - creating a play of light and shadow that accentuates petal edges and inner depths. Set against a stark white background with a hint of a clear glass vase at the bottom, the colours pop with a fresh, modern clarity; the whole feels like a cool, spring morning captured in floral form. This bouquet radiates warmth without being fussy: ideal for brightening a friend's flat near Snaresbrook Station, bringing a thoughtful presence to a small Wanstead gathering, or simply as a contemporary gift to celebrate a small triumph. The craftsmanship suggests freshness and attention to balance - a local touch that neighbours in the area would recognise and appreciate.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
A celebratory pregnancy bouquet stands out sharply against a clean white background, as if paused in a moment of quiet excitement before being delivered to a doorstep off Wanstead High Street. Dominating the hand-tied arrangement are bold fuchsia gerbera daisies, each bloom a perfect circle of intense pink petals surrounding a dark, velvety heart, radiating energy and optimism. Nestled between them are gentle pink roses, some still in tight, hopeful buds, others opening into layered rosettes that feel soft and touchable, like the corner of a favourite baby blanket. Threaded throughout are diminutive purple filler flowers, probably statice, whose papery textures add a delicate wildflower charm and soften the transitions between the larger forms. Varied green foliage, from slim, arching leaves to broader, deeper-toned greenery, cradles the flowers and gives the bouquet a rich, garden-fresh volume, echoing the greenery of nearby Wanstead Park and its tranquil paths. The stems are gathered and wrapped in lush layers of pink tissue paper, from bright candy shades to paler blush tones, and then embraced by a whisper of glossy cellophane that catches any available light, enhancing the bouquet's gift-like presence. Positioned prominently at the base is a round foil balloon in vivid fuchsia, edged with a subtle scallop and scattered with crisp white polka dots. Across its centre, "Mum to Be!" appears in a playful, flowing white script, accented by a sweet heart motif that hints at the tiny life on the way. This combination feels both joyful and intimate, an ideal arrangement for a baby shower in Wanstead or a thoughtful same-day delivery to an expectant mother who deserves a moment of brightness and love.
MUM TO BE
£60.00
Here is a seasonal white bouquet I might wrap for a neighbour on Station Road or to leave at a bench in Wanstead Park: an upright, hand-tied arrangement centred on abundant white chrysanthemum heads, each petal layered neatly around a small, warm yellow disc that lends a bright, familiar focus. Interspersed are slender, pale green-yellow lily buds, some showing faint stripes; they sit poised and elegant, promising later drama as they open. Scattered throughout are clouds of gypsophila, the airy baby's breath that fills negative space with soft, snowy texture and lends a romantic, gentle air. Rich, dark green leaves and stems provide weight and depth, making the whites feel luminous and fresh. The bouquet is wrapped in rustic brown kraft paper inside, then finished in clear cellophane for protection, the wrapping gathered and tied at the base to make the piece easy to carry or place in a simple vase. The tactile contrast between the crinkled paper and the glossy film, the silky petals against the crisp foliage, is something I note when I arrange these in the shop near Wanstead High Street. The scent is understated: a hint of lily perfume and the green, clean note of leaves-a fragrance that reads as comforting rather than overpowering. This composition works across occasions: as a serene sympathy gift, an elegant thank-you, or a hopeful congratulations. Flower Delivery Wanstead can prepare and deliver a similar hand-tied bouquet across Wanstead and neighbouring Snaresbrook for same-day needs, crafted with local care and an eye for simple, honest beauty.
PURE ELEGANCE
£65.00
In this image, a generous mixed bouquet rises from a sleek white cube box, set against a seamless white background that puts all the attention on the flowers. The arrangement forms a full, rounded dome where blooms are placed closely together, giving an impression of abundance you might associate with a well-tended garden near Wanstead Flats at the height of spring. The colour palette is led by joyful yellows: large yellow chrysanthemums with dense, feathery petals and clusters of neat yellow spray roses, some still partly in bud, radiate warmth and optimism. Interwoven are fresh white flowers, including daisy-type chrysanthemums with distinct green centres and fluffy white chrysanthemums whose soft texture provides both depth and a soothing contrast to the stronger hues. Woven between these are striking fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums, their petals sometimes shifting into lighter pinks, adding visual drama and an artistic flair, akin to the splash of colour from market flowers around Wanstead's High Street. Smaller rosebuds in pastel pinks and bright yellows are tucked amongst the larger blooms, subtly drawing the eye inward and suggesting a bouquet that will continue to evolve as the days pass. A frame of dark green, glossy foliage surrounds the flowers, the leaves sturdy and slightly pointed, grounding the design and highlighting the brightness of the blossoms. The white cube box, with its clean lines and smooth finish, provides a modern base, while a discreet rose motif and script lettering on the front signal professional craftsmanship without distracting from the composition. This bouquet feels perfectly suited to a thoughtful yet budget-conscious gift-ideal for birthdays, new home celebrations, or a surprise delivery to a friend living near Wanstead Park, bringing a burst of colour and freshness into their space.
SPARKLING EYES
£50.00
Against a crisp white backdrop, this hand-tied chrysanthemum bouquet glows with a soothing mix of whites, creams, and lively greens. Generous chrysanthemum heads in shades of pure white and creamy off-white open fully, each one composed of hundreds of fine petals that create a soft, almost cloud-like texture. Many of these blooms reveal subtle pale green or soft yellow centres, adding depth and a quiet, sunlit warmth to the arrangement. Nestled between the larger flowers are smaller white spray chrysanthemums, their daisy-like petals contributing a delicate charm that feels light and effortless, rather like a gentle stroll along Wanstead's tree-lined streets on a bright morning. Threaded thoughtfully throughout the bouquet are vivid lime green pompon chrysanthemums, round and tightly packed. Their plush, button-like shape adds a distinctly modern twist and a playful pop of colour that enlivens the whole design. Deep green foliage winds between the blossoms, providing a rich backdrop that enhances the purity of the whites and the energy of the greens. At the base, the stems are neatly aligned and wrapped in a wide lime green satin ribbon, tied into an elegant bow which echoes the same vibrant green found in the pompon mums, giving the bouquet a finished, gift-ready look. The mood of this arrangement is calm yet hopeful, perfectly suited to mark a new beginning, lift spirits after a difficult time, or serve as a graceful centrepiece for a quiet family gathering in a Wanstead home overlooking the common or nearby gardens.
