RETIREMENT FLOWERS
A luxuriously full mixed bouquet is photographed against a clean white backdrop, allowing every colour and texture to stand out like a bright moment in an otherwise grey St Luke's afternoon. At the centre, two rich red roses rise slightly above the surrounding blooms, their petals tightly layered and velvety, suggesting romance, deep appreciation, or a meaningful milestone. Encircling them, crisp white daisy-style chrysanthemums form a luminous halo, each with a sharp lime-green centre that gives the arrangement a fresh, almost zesty energy. Interlaced throughout are soft to mid-toned pink chrysanthemums with matching green centres, their petals layered and gently curved, offering a sense of comfort and cheer that would feel perfectly at home in a townhouse near St Luke's church or along nearby residential streets. Fine stems of pale pink waxflowers are scattered through the bouquet, the clusters of tiny, cup-shaped blossoms adding a delicate, airy texture that breaks up the bolder forms. Beneath and between the flowers, deep green, glossy foliage and lighter green leaves create a rich base, enhancing the contrast and making the reds and pinks appear even more vibrant. The bouquet is clearly hand-tied, with neatly aligned green stems gathered firmly at the base, ready for same-day delivery to homes and offices around St Luke's. The design conveys joy and tenderness in equal measure, ideal for birthdays, congratulations, get-well wishes, or a simple "thank you," bringing a burst of garden-fresh colour into living rooms, workspaces, and cosy cafés across the local neighbourhood.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
This hand-tied mixed bouquet is photographed straight on against a plain white background, creating a vivid contrast that makes each blossom stand out as if illuminated by soft natural light. The flowers are gathered into a compact, full dome, with no empty spaces, giving the impression of abundance and careful craftsmanship from a florist familiar with the St Luke's neighbourhood. Central to the composition are impressive bi-colour roses, fully open and velvety, with petals that start in a brilliant golden yellow at the core and transition gradually to deep orange and hints of reddish-orange near the outer edges. These roses bring warmth, romance, and a sense of occasion. Woven thoughtfully among them are white daisy-like chrysanthemums, their bright lime-green centres adding a crisp, almost sparkling contrast against the smooth white petals. These daisies evoke simplicity and cheer, like sunlight glancing off nearby pavements after rain. Interspersed generously are clusters of smaller magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, tightly packed with multiple layers of petals that create a plush, textured effect. Their intense colour and yellow-green centres echo the palette of the daisies, unifying the design and adding a lively, modern energy. Dark green foliage threads between the blooms, with leaves that appear glossy and robust, framing the bouquet and giving it depth, as though it has just been gathered from a well-kept garden. At the bottom, the stems are visible, freshly cut, neatly tied, and slightly fanned out, hinting at a hand-tied bouquet ready for delivery around St Luke's, Shoreditch, or nearby offices. The mood of the bouquet is joyful yet refined, suitable for marking new beginnings, anniversaries, or simply to add colour and comfort to an apartment near St Luke's.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
From the bustling heart of St Luke's, this radiant bouquet captures the essence of local joy and seasonal freshness. Centred elegantly are glowing roses ranging from gentle apricot to bright orange, their spiralled petals unfurling like laughter spilling into the nearby Regent's Canal. Playful clusters of chrysanthemums nestle beside them: snow-white blossoms with lively green centers recall the charm of City Road on a crisp morning, while rich magenta-purple varieties add visual excitement, their boldness reminiscent of colourful murals found throughout the community. Glossy, dark green leaves swirl beneath the blooms, grounding the display with abundant texture and depth, as if reflecting the leafy comfort of the nearby parks. Finishing the design, a loop of slender bear grass arcs overhead, its graceful sweep echoing the artistic spirit evident in the neighbourhood's creative spaces. Encased in a bright, crinkled orange wrap, the bouquet seems to pulse with joy and possibility-ready to grace a birthday brunch along St John Street or bring comfort to a friend on a rainy afternoon. The entire arrangement, thoughtfully composed by a dedicated St Luke's florist, tells a visual story of celebration, care, and neighbourhood connection, offering a memorable floral experience for every occasion.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
A generously rounded bouquet of chrysanthemums in white, cream, and crisp lime green is shown against a smooth white background, the simplicity of the setting highlighting the florist's hand-tied craftsmanship familiar to homes and offices around St Luke's. Dominating the design are large white and creamy chrysanthemum blooms, their petals arranged in intricate layers that fan out from soft greenish or pale yellow centres, giving a plush, almost quilted appearance. Nestled in between are airy clusters of spray chrysanthemums, each stem bearing multiple small, daisy-like flowers in bright white, which soften the transitions between the larger heads and lend the bouquet a gentle, meadow-style lightness. Vivid lime-green pompon chrysanthemums are dotted throughout the arrangement, perfectly spherical and tightly packed with tiny petals, adding spirited bursts of colour that stand out against the pale flowers and recall the fresh foliage of local gardens around Old Street and the churchyard at St Luke's. Deep, glossy green leaves weave through the blooms, providing both contrast and natural support. At the bottom, the stems are clearly visible-trimmed evenly, gathered closely, and bound with a wide lime-green satin ribbon tied into multiple loops that form a full, elegant bow. The ribbon's sheen and colour harmonise with the pompons, completing the bouquet with a polished, gift-ready look. The mood is tranquil, hopeful, and gently celebratory, making this arrangement ideal for same-day delivery to congratulate someone on a new job, send healing wishes to a hospital nearby, or offer a simple, sincere message of support to friends and family in the St Luke's area.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
The bouquet shown here is photographed head-on against a flawless white backdrop, allowing every colour and texture to stand out with clarity. At its heart sit several fully opened creamy white roses, tinged softly with pale lemon towards their centres, their petals layered in elegant, spiralling folds that draw the eye inward. Around them, a generous halo of fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums introduces an upbeat, celebratory note; each bloom is daisy-shaped, with numerous slim petals radiating from vivid yellow-green centres that gleam like tiny suns. Between these larger flowers, delicate sprays of small white daisies weave in and out, their petite yellow eyes and fine white petals adding a sense of airiness, reminiscent of wildflowers edging paths and communal gardens near St Luke's. Nestled among the fully open mums are several tighter buds in a deeper purple-pink tone, which bring subtle contrast and give the composition greater depth. The whole arrangement is held together by a lush base of greenery, featuring the glossy, serrated leaves of roses and broad, textured chrysanthemum foliage that combines to form a rich, green frame. All stems meet at the base, carefully aligned and secured with a charming green-and-white checkered ribbon that hints at handcrafted care and attention. Illuminated with bright, even light, the bouquet looks impeccably fresh, as though cut that morning from a local cutting patch and arranged for quick delivery around St Luke's, Shoreditch, and the nearby City fringe. The design feels both joyful and refined, ideal for congratulating a new job, sending get-well wishes, or bringing a splash of colour to a converted warehouse flat or studio workspace in the area.

MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A beautifully balanced hydrangea bouquet dominates the centre of the image, set against a flawless white background that highlights each petal and leaf with clarity, as if displayed on the counter of a contemporary St Luke's flower studio. The heart of the arrangement features a substantial, creamy white hydrangea, its countless small florets packed tightly to create a soft, rounded mound that feels plush and inviting, like a cushion of petals cupped in the hands. Surrounding this are generous heads of sky-blue hydrangeas, their pastel petals unfolding in layered, slightly ruffled clusters that evoke calm skies and quiet weekends wandering the streets around St Luke's. Between these cooler tones, lime-green hydrangeas add a striking brightness, their zestful chartreuse colour bringing a sense of energy and new beginnings, much like the fresh greenery in nearby urban gardens and courtyards. Interlaced throughout the bouquet is a rich selection of foliage: distinctive silvery-green eucalyptus with rounded, matte leaves extends outward, lending a modern, airy touch and a suggestion of herbal fragrance, while darker, glossier green leaves nestle deeper within the design, creating depth and contrast. The stems are gathered neatly at the base, clearly showing that this is a hand-tied bouquet, ready for same-day delivery to a loft near Old Street, an office on City Road, or a home in the surrounding St Luke's neighbourhood. Gentle, even lighting casts minimal shadow, bringing out the nuanced textures and colours of the hydrangeas and leaves. The overall feeling is serene yet contemporary, making the bouquet suitable for birthdays, housewarmings, quiet celebrations, or simply adding a sense of cool, fresh elegance to everyday life.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
This image presents a joyful mixed bouquet standing upright against a smooth white background, its colours bright and inviting as though displayed in the window of a local florist by St Luke's. At its heart are several pink roses, in shades from soft blush to a richer, mid-toned pink, the petals opening in gentle spirals that convey affection and warmth. Among them sit bold yellow gerbera daisies, their large, daisy-like petals radiating around dark brown centres, creating a playful contrast in both shape and colour. Stretching above and slightly behind these flowers, deep blue delphinium stems add graceful height; each tall stem is lined with small, star-like florets that bring a cool, refined elegance to the bouquet. Surrounding the feature blooms is a plentiful mix of greenery. Fine, feathery fern fronds peek out from the lower edges, softening the outline, while broad, glossy green leaves provide structure and a reflective sheen that catches the light. Interwoven throughout the bouquet are clumps of vibrant green, textured filler flowers and foliage, adding a sense of lushness and natural depth reminiscent of a leafy corner near St Luke's churchyard. Delicate, upright stems dotted with tiny buds rise above the main cluster, suggesting ongoing growth and giving the design a sense of movement. At the base, long, curved tropical-style leaves - some subtly striped with lighter shades - are wrapped to form a neat collar that conceals the tops of the stems. Below this, the natural stems are gathered tightly and bound with a pale, fabric-like wrap and modest tie, underscoring the handmade quality of a bouquet ready for local delivery across the St Luke's area, perfect for celebrations, thank-you gestures, or lifting someone's day.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
This richly textured bouquet appears against a pure white background, every element of the hand-tied design carefully composed, as if crafted in a cosy studio close to St Luke's. At its centre, garden roses open in soft spirals of blush pink, dusty mauve, and antique rose, their velvety petals evoking romance and the comfort of familiar streets and shared history. Surrounding them, abundant ruffled carnations add volume and gentle drama; each bloom transitions from a creamy, pale interior to deeper shades of rose, fuchsia, and plum at the fringed edges, creating a tapestry of soft yet vibrant colour. Among the pinks, deep indigo buds, reminiscent of small tulips or anemones, offer moments of intense blue that draw the eye around the composition. Near the front, a standout royal blue anemone with a near-black centre provides a strong focal point, introducing depth and contrast. Slender lilac and pale lavender stock flowers thread upward through the bouquet, their many small blossoms along each stem contributing lightness, airy movement, and the idea of a gentle, powdery fragrance that could easily float through a flat overlooking City Road. The greenery is equally considered: round, silvery eucalyptus leaves mix with richer dark green foliage, giving structure, cool tones, and a natural, slightly aromatic backdrop to the blooms. The stems are visible and neatly tied at the base, highlighting the craftsmanship of a fresh, hand-tied bouquet ready for same-day delivery around St Luke's and the neighbouring area. Overall, the arrangement feels calming yet celebratory, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, well-earned congratulations, or as a soothing gesture during times when quiet beauty matters most.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
As I shape each element in this bouquet within our St Luke's shop, I'm continually drawn to the interplay between the gentle blush of gerbera daisies and the classic allure of pink roses. The soft pastels meld like watercolours under a soft Camden morning, while spikes of deep purple statice create a whimsical energy. The cool green foliage feels damp and refreshing, much like the lush gardens in the area after rain, grounding the billowing blooms with natural vitality. This composition, housed in an understated glass vase, seems to glow gently in ambient light, inviting closer appreciation. Whether destined for a cheerful get-well wish on a Kentish Town doorstep or to bring a splash of elegance to a Primrose Hill flat, the bouquet speaks of careful craftsmanship and hopeful joy, woven into every thoughtful detail by our experienced team at St Luke's Florist.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
Captured against a clean white background, this abundant bouquet showcases the trained eye and steady hand of an experienced florist, its rounded profile brimming with harmonious tones of pink, mauve, violet and fresh green. At the heart of the arrangement, pastel pink roses form a soft, romantic centre, their petals unfurling in neat spirals that shift gently from deeper blush towards almost creamy outer edges. Interlaced among them are generous carnations in dusty rose and mauve, their densely ruffled petals catching the light and providing a tactile, cloud-like texture that contrasts beautifully with the smoother rose blooms. Shooting upward through the design are tall stems of Veronica in deep indigo and lavender-blue, their tapered, slightly curved spikes adding height and a sculptural quality that echoes the lines of nearby buildings and townhouses around St Luke's. Around these, clusters of velvety purple lisianthus and sprays of tiny, starry asters in pale lavender-blue provide delicate accents, as if scattering small wildflowers throughout the bouquet. A collar of greenery frames everything: bright lime-green textural fillers inject a lively, almost electric freshness, while the cooler, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves and other foliage arc gently, cradling the flowers and giving the bouquet a finished, polished outline. The stems are clearly visible at the base, gathered tightly by hand, which indicates this design is intended to be placed in a favourite vase on a kitchen table off City Road or in a light-filled flat near St Luke's. The bouquet's palette and structure make it wonderfully versatile, equally suited to joyful celebrations, heartfelt thank-yous or sending quiet comfort with same-day delivery in the local area.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
This exuberant arrangement, inspired by the lively neighbourhoods of St Luke's and Clerkenwell, features dazzling sunflowers as the stars of the composition, their golden-yellow petals radiating joy from deep, textured brown centres. Surrounding these sunflowers, plush garden roses swirl open in shades of gentle yellow, their tightly curled layers adding a note of elegance and nostalgia-much like discovering a hidden walled garden just beyond the bustle of Old Street. Here and there, shiny red Hypericum berries peek through the foliage, their presence infusing the bouquet with surprise and character, reminiscent of the colourful stalls at Whitecross Street Market. Lush, emerald ferns and wispy branches spill lightly over the sides, softening the lines and echoing the natural greenery found along St Luke's pathways. Airy solidago or goldenrod lends gentle highlights of yellow, while slender green spikes and silvery eucalyptus leaves lend contrast and dimension. Nestled within a clear, rounded glass vase, the stems stand visible and proud, drinking in water and reflecting the authenticity of hand-gathered blooms. The arrangement is dappled with light, its interplay of colour and texture evoking sunlit afternoons and celebratory occasions-a birthday, a thoughtful thank-you, or simply a vibrant addition to an Islington home. The fresh scent hints at open meadows, blending tradition and contemporary flair, uniquely reflecting the heart of St Luke's.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
An uplifting bouquet of hand-tied Gerbera daisies stands poised in a gleaming glass vase, its radiant yellows, deep oranges, and lush magentas capturing the bustling charm of St Luke's. Each daisy, with its dark centre and vivid petals, evokes the contrast and harmony found in the nearby Chelsea streets and gardens. Intermingled green foliage adds a soft, textured counterpoint, bringing to mind the fresh, open spaces along Sydney Street. The bouquet is lovingly wrapped in softly crinkled kraft paper and protected by a sleek, clear cellophane layer that embraces the stems in a neat cone. Through the vase, the stems fan out in a harmonious display, supported by clean water-a sign of impeccable florist attention. A rustic twine bow secures the ensemble, complete with a small white tag featuring a decorative red rose, waiting for a name or celebratory message. This bouquet's bright, cheerful presence captures the feeling of a sunlit morning near St Luke's Church-a perfect centrepiece for home gatherings, milestones, or sending warm wishes to a loved one nearby. From the vivid interplay of colour and light to the expert sense of proportion and care, this arrangement is a beautiful embodiment of St Luke's Florist's artisanal tradition, ready to brighten any local occasion.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
As a florist familiar with every twist and tale of St Luke's, I find this luxurious bouquet and chocolate pairing captures the very spirit of local celebration. The bouquet presents an expertly crafted gathering of roses, their tightly-packed blooms opening with a radiant gradient of colour: blush peach and soft yellow deepening to coral, salmon, and a confident rosy pink. Their petals, many tipped with cream or golden dusk colours, seem to glow gently, catching soft light as if basking in the late afternoon sun streaming through St Luke's Square. Nestled among the vibrant blossoms, dark green foliage - possibly sprigs of eucalyptus or local greenery - offers contrast and depth, its robust, waxy surfaces amplifying the delicacy of the petals. To the left, adding an aura of indulgence, stands a Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolate pouch, its subtle caramel-hued packaging tastefully adorned with branding and a vivid depiction of truffles. In front, two unwrapped chocolates sit temptingly, their glossy milk chocolate sheen promising a delightful burst of orange and crisp wafer. The composition reflects thoughtful artistry, ideal for celebrating a birthday on Park Walk, a family reunion, or expressing thanks to a neighbour. Together, these elements create a moment of shared joy and sensory delight that embodies the community-hearted generosity of St Luke's.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
Brimming with a sense of peaceful grandeur, this lush bouquet brings together the best of St Luke's floral creativity. At the heart are bold hydrangea blooms, their plush petals coloured in jewel-like blues, velvety indigos, and subtle violets, conjuring images of serene evenings strolling near St Luke's Gardens. Nestled in their midst are roses in soft lavender and elegant ivory, their gently opening petals radiating romance and classic beauty, while creamy ranunculus forms add inviting fullness and detail. Slender lisianthus (eustoma) buds in a pale buttery yellow arise gracefully, infusing a touch of sunlit freshness and uplift-just as local window boxes brighten nearby streets like Sydney Street. Sprays of lively fuchsia and clouds of soft pink astilbe add texture, movement, and colour pops, recalling wildflowers tumbling over old brick walls. Layers of intricate green and white filler, resembling Ammi Majus, thread through the bouquet, creating a delicate lacework that softens and elevates the design. Deep green foliage strategically frames every bloom, enhancing the vividness and adding depth. Finished with a broad, glossy purple ribbon wrapped securely at the stems, the bouquet invites touch and admiration. This composition speaks of artistry and joy, making it an ideal choice for birthdays, anniversaries, or to lift spirits in the St Luke's community with its fresh, uplifting palette and carefully balanced form.
