RETIREMENT FLOWERS
A rounded hand-tied bouquet is shown against a clean white backdrop, its colours and textures arranged with the quiet confidence of an experienced St James's florist. Two prominent red roses rise from the centre, their tightly layered, velvety petals forming perfect spirals that speak of deep affection and romance, reminiscent of an intimate dinner near Jermyn Street. Encircling these roses is a cloud of white spray chrysanthemums, each daisy-like head crisp and fresh, with bright lime-green centres that seem to glow, bringing a youthful brightness to the design. Interwoven throughout the white blossoms are numerous daisy-style chrysanthemums in shades of blush and mid-pink, their soft petals and matching green centres weaving a gentle ribbon of colour that feels both comforting and quietly celebratory. Finer details come from airy sprigs of pale pink waxflower, their many tiny, cup-shaped blooms and slender stems offering a delicate, almost fragrant-looking mist between the larger flowers. Generous green foliage, including smooth, broad leaves and lighter green accents, cradles the arrangement, enhancing the vibrancy of the reds and pinks while adding a freshly gathered-from-the-garden feel, as if collected just a short walk from St James's Park or Green Park. The stems are visible at the base, neatly bundled and tied, demonstrating skilled handiwork and suggesting a bouquet ready for same-day delivery to a townhouse off St James's Street or a discreet office near Piccadilly. Overall, the image conveys warmth, sincerity, and a sense of calm celebration suitable for messages of love, gratitude, or get-well wishes.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
A richly coloured mixed bouquet fills the frame against a spotless white background, its lively palette echoing the energy of St James's on a bright afternoon. The flowers are arranged into a rounded, almost spherical shape, each bloom carefully angled so the viewer sees a tapestry of colour rather than individual stems. The largest highlights are bi-colour roses, fully opened and velvety, their centres glowing with bright golden yellow that gradually deepens into rich orange and a hint of red at the outer petal edges, like the warm stone facades along nearby Pall Mall under late-day sun. Threaded between these roses are numerous white daisy-style chrysanthemums, each with a sharp lime-green centre that seems to almost glow, giving a fresh, zesty lift to the composition. Deeper inside the bouquet sit plush magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, densely petalled and saturated in colour, their yellow-green hearts mirroring the centres of the white daisies and tying the whole design together. Glossy, dark green foliage creates a gentle frame, adding structure and a sense of movement, as if the bouquet might sway in a light breeze from St James's Park. At the base, the neatly gathered stems are visible, cut clean and bound tightly, indicating a freshly prepared hand-tied gift. The bouquet suggests an atmosphere of cheerful sophistication and is perfectly suited to sending congratulations, marking an anniversary dinner off Regent Street, or simply lifting someone's spirits with same-day delivery around the St James's area.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
HONEYMOON
HONEYMOON
£55.00
A hand-tied bouquet of chrysanthemums in softly toned whites and creams, contrasted with bright lime green accents, is displayed against a clear white background, highlighting its clean, contemporary character. Dominating the composition are large-headed white and creamy chrysanthemum blooms, their numerous narrow petals arranged in layered rows that create a plush, rounded profile. Their centres carry subtle notes of pale green and light yellow, introducing warmth and depth to the otherwise cool palette. Threaded throughout these generous blossoms are sprays of smaller white chrysanthemums, daisy-like in their simplicity, which bring a sense of movement and delicacy to the bouquet. The eye is immediately drawn to the lime green pompon chrysanthemums scattered among the whites; these button-like flowers are perfectly spherical and tightly packed, adding both texture and a vivid burst of colour. The green is bright and refreshing, calling to mind the manicured lawns and borders of nearby St James's Park on a sunny morning. Deep green foliage, likely chrysanthemum leaves, encircles and supports the flowers, glimpsed in pockets that break up the clusters of petals and provide a natural frame. At the base, the gathered stems are smoothly aligned and encased in a wide satin ribbon in matching lime green, tied into multiple loops that form an elegant bow, catching the light with a gentle sheen. Crafted with the care of a local florist used to serving embassies, galleries, and offices around St James's, this bouquet feels at once calm and uplifting. It would sit beautifully on a polished boardroom table near Pall Mall, brighten an apartment off Jermyn Street, or serve as a thoughtful message of hope or appreciation for someone special.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
Against a spotless white studio background, a thoughtfully composed bouquet is captured in full detail, every bloom clearly visible and carefully balanced. The design is anchored by several large, fully opened roses in a mellow creamy white with hints of pale butter-yellow at their centres, each rose forming a classic spiral that draws the eye inward. Encircling these are generous sprays of bright fuchsia chrysanthemums, sometimes veering into a rich magenta, with warm yellow-green centres that glow like small lanterns and add an upbeat, contemporary feel that suits the stylish streets around St James's. Scattered between the bolder colours, delicate white daisy-like flowers with sunny yellow middles introduce a softer, countryside charm, echoing the look of wild chamomile and giving the arrangement a light, breathable texture. Tucked discreetly among the open blooms are a few smaller, darker buds of purple-pink chrysanthemums, adding shadows and depth so the bouquet feels three-dimensional, as if you could reach in and touch each petal. A framework of lush green foliage surrounds and supports the flowers, the leaves slightly glossy and varied in shape, creating a natural contrast that makes the colours appear even more vivid. At the base, the collection of stems is neatly aligned and bound with a green and white checkered ribbon, the gingham pattern suggesting a hand-crafted, personal touch from a nearby St James's florist preparing the bouquet for delivery. The bright, even lighting emphasises the freshness of the petals and the crispness of the greens, with only soft, subtle shadows beneath. This arrangement conveys an uplifting yet refined mood, ideal for sending as a same-day surprise to homes or offices near The Mall, to celebrate milestones, express appreciation, or bring a little burst of floral happiness into a city day.
LOVELY DREAMER
£50.00
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A meticulously arranged hydrangea bouquet appears almost sculptural against a pure white studio backdrop, its rounded silhouette and gentle colours evoking a sense of poised elegance. Dominating the centre is a dense, domed cluster of creamy white hydrangeas, every floret nestled closely together so that the bloom reads as a single, plush cushion of colour. Surrounding this soft heart are rounded heads of sky-blue hydrangeas, slightly elevated towards the upper left and right, their petals shifting from a gentle mid-blue at the core to paler edges, like glimpses of bright sky peeking between the buildings near St James's Street. Accenting these cooler tones, lime-green hydrangeas sit among the white and blue like fresh spring foliage, their vivid chartreuse hue adding brightness and a feeling of new growth. The flowers are supported and framed by an array of foliage: silvery-green eucalyptus, with its signature rounded leaves, threads gracefully through the bouquet, offering a subtle, contemporary contrast, while deeper, richer green leaves with glossier surfaces build volume and structure, grounding the design. The stems extend neatly below, hand-tied and gently fanned, ready for placement into a vase in a townhouse just off Piccadilly or in a refined office near St James's Square. The lighting is soft but clear, emphasising the petals' fine textures and the interplay of matte and shine between the various greens. The bouquet's overall character is serene and assured, making it particularly suited as an understated luxury gift, a welcoming reception arrangement, or a thoughtful gesture sent across St James's, Westminster, and the surrounding central London neighbourhoods.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
This hand-tied bouquet, set crisply against a pure white background, feels like a modern yet timeless gesture, well suited to the classic surroundings of St James's. At the centre, several generous pink roses unfurl in full bloom, their petals soft and layered, creating a calm, romantic focal point. Around them, bright yellow gerbera daisies bring immediate brightness, each bloom with a dark brown central eye that adds depth and charm, like a burst of sunshine cutting through the city's stone facades. Rising above, slender stems of rich blue delphiniums add height and cool contrast; their multiple small florets climb the stems in a gentle progression, suggesting movement and elegance similar to the graceful lines of nearby Pall Mall. The bouquet is shaped and softened by an array of foliage. Delicate fern fronds trail from the sides and base, offering a feathery, natural edge. Nestled among the blooms are rounded tufts of vivid green filler foliage, almost moss-like, which provide volume and a lush undercurrent of colour. At the lower section of the bouquet, broad, glossy dark green leaves curve around the stems and flower heads, forming a structured collar that holds everything neatly together, with a few subtle light-green stripes catching the light. Above the main flowers, fine, pale stems tipped with closed buds extend upward, adding a sense of freshness and promise. The stems themselves are visible at the bottom, gathered tightly and wrapped in pale cream or soft green paper or fabric, tied with a simple bow that keeps the focus on the flowers. The overall design feels refined yet uplifting, an ideal arrangement for marking promotions, birthdays, or quiet celebrations in offices and homes around St James's.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
Set against a bright white background, this hand-tied bouquet appears almost luminous, each detail standing out as if under soft gallery light. At its heart, several lush garden roses open in layered spirals, their petals shifting from tender blush pink to deeper dusty mauve, creating a quietly opulent, romantic core. Encircling them, generous ruffled carnations add fullness and texture, their frilled petals blending creamy beige and blush tones that gradually intensify to rosy, fuchsia, and plum hues at the edges, like delicate fabric gently dyed by hand. Deep indigo-blue flowers are scattered thoughtfully through the arrangement, some in refined, tulip-like buds and one in a striking open anemone at the front, its royal blue petals framing a dark, velvety centre that anchors the composition. Slim stems of lilac and pale lavender stock rise vertically, each lined with small clustered blossoms, adding a sense of movement and height, and hinting at a sweet, powdery fragrance mingling with the soft green scent of foliage. The bouquet is framed by an abundance of greenery: rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves paired with darker, glossy foliage provide contrast, depth, and a cool freshness that balances the richer colours. Neatly gathered stems are visible at the bottom, showing a bouquet crafted with care and ready for same-day flower delivery around St James's, from the elegant avenues near Piccadilly to offices by St James's Square. The mood of the arrangement is graceful and comforting, making it suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations of new beginnings, or simply to bring a touch of composed beauty to a St James's home.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
Whenever I design bouquets for St James's, I strive to capture the area's understated elegance, and this particular arrangement reflects just that. Blush-pink gerberas and expertly formed pink roses dance together, their soft tones gently merging as if inspired by the early morning mists along The Mall. Rich purple statice provides contrast, much like the vibrant cultural pulse of Jermyn Street, while dew-fresh greenery anchors the blooms, offering coolness and serenity reminiscent of a stroll through nearby Green Park. All are elegantly displayed in a clear glass vase, the subtle interplay of colour and form inviting you to linger, just as the art at the Royal Academy does. Whether chosen as a spirited get-well bouquet or a stylish touch for a St James's apartment, this arrangement emanates joy and expert craftsmanship. Each petal and leaf is placed with careful artistry, echoing the classic refinement and creative spirit that define the heart of St James's.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
A beautifully composed bouquet in a rounded, hand-tied style is set against a clear white background, its palette of pinks and purples creating an effect of quiet luxury that suits St James's perfectly. The central feature is a cluster of pastel pink roses, their petals unfolding in delicate spirals. Some blossoms remain partially closed, like secrets still to be shared, while others are wider and more generous, the colour fading gently from a richer blush at the centre to a softer, almost cream tone at the outermost edges. Nestled between them are full, ruffled carnations in dusty rose and mauve, their many layers of petals forming a soft, voluminous cushion that invites touch. Threaded among these rounded blooms are tall, elegant spires of deep indigo and violet Veronica, which create vertical lines that draw the eye upward, echoing the graceful architecture around St James's Street. Clusters of rich purple Lisianthus introduce a deeper, more saturated tone, some flowers open into bell-shaped cups, others remaining as smooth buds that signal freshness. Wisps of tiny, daisy-like aster flowers in pale lavender and periwinkle are scattered throughout, each with a small yellow centre, adding a fine, airy texture that lightens the composition. A foundation of mixed greenery supports the design: bright lime-green clusters of textural filler-similar to Green Trick dianthus or bupleurum-offer contrast and energy, while silvery eucalyptus and soft sage-green foliage arch outwards to give the bouquet a relaxed yet polished silhouette. The stems are visible beneath the blossoms, neatly gathered and trimmed, clearly hand-tied and ready to be slipped into a favourite vase in a home near St James's Park or Pall Mall. The overall feel is elegant and thoughtful, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or as a refined thank-you bouquet delivered throughout SW1.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
This splendid bouquet, thoughtfully arranged by a St James's florist, captures the golden radiance of sunflowers set against the tranquil white of a gallery wall. The striking faces of sunflowers turn outward, their deep brown and gold centres anchoring a collection of spiralled yellow garden roses whose plush petals evoke the finery of nearby St James's Square. Scattered throughout, glossy red hypericum berries add zestful, unexpected bursts of colour that dance among the deep greens, reminiscent of vibrant accents found in the area's renowned art exhibitions. Wispy, airy fronds of fern envelop the bouquet, their movement echoing the breezes that play through the tree-lined avenues of St James's Park. The arrangement features sprigs of goldenrod, droplets of yellow alighting like sunlight filtered through palace gates, while slender, silvery eucalyptus adds visual lightness and a cool, fresh fragrance. The fishbowl-like glass vase below magnifies every green stem, creating a sense of cleanness and order fitting for the elegant streets and immaculate window displays nearby. Imagine brushing past this bouquet-the faint rustle, the soft perfume-each element combining to create a sense of belonging and celebration. Perfect for brightening a Westminster townhouse or marking a special occasion near The Mall, this arrangement channels the poise and cheer of its storied surroundings.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
Awash in sunshine and vibrant hues, this Gerbera daisy bouquet is a luminous tribute to the elegance and joy found throughout St James's, SW1. Inspired by the classic architecture and leafy boulevards of the neighbourhood, the arrangement features large yellow, orange, and magenta Gerbera blossoms packed tightly in joyful profusion, their velvety petals offset by dramatic dark centers. Soft, dense leaves weave between the flowers, introducing lush texture and a hint of natural woodland fragrance that calls to mind the quiet corners of nearby St James's Park. Expertly hand-tied, the stems are gathered into a clear glass vase, visible beneath layers of rustic kraft paper and shimmering, crinkled cellophane-a visual nod to both modern floristry and timeless British refinement. A piece of natural twine encircles the bundled stems, securing a simple white gift tag with a delicate red rose motif and partially hidden text, suggesting care in every detail. Speckled light dances over the bouquet, accentuating its freshness and the hopeful energy it brings-perfect for a celebratory gift, a thank-you for a neighbour near Piccadilly, or a spirited addition to the table in a St James's townhouse. Every angle of the composition speaks of artistry and cheerfulness, inviting admiration and joy.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
There's a luminous quality to this luxurious gift set, reminiscent of quiet mornings near St James's Park when the city glimmers just after sunrise. At its heart is a sumptuous bouquet, each rose carefully layered-from golden peach centers radiating outward into deep coral and vivid salmon, edged with rich ruby-pink. The gentle gradients across the petals capture the changing tones of the sky seen above historic avenues like Pall Mall. Velvety dark green leaves wrap around the bouquet, their glossy depths setting off the warm hues in dramatic relief. The composition echoes the subtle elegance found in this iconic London district-refined yet welcoming. To the left, the Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolates exude equal allure: a pale pouch with the brand name shining at the top, nestled before it two gleaming, milk chocolate truffles that seem irresistible. Their promise of tangy orange and crisp wafer speaks to indulgence and the small luxuries of everyday celebration. As a local florist in St James's, I sense how the bouquet's plush texture and sweet perfume might transform any room, infusing it with joy perfect for an anniversary, birthday, or heartfelt gesture. Gathered with artistry and heart, this arrangement-fresh as a bloom from St James's Market-sings of generosity, warmth, and cherished milestones.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
A vision of floral luxury unfolds in this bouquet, meticulously arranged to honour the timeless elegance found throughout St James's. The design is anchored by lush, multi-toned hydrangeas, their grand heads shifting in inky blue and misty teal with touches of muted purple-colours reminiscent of tranquil twilight in St James's Park. Enfolded within are velvety roses in delicate lilac and gentle cream, their luminous blooms reminiscent of the soft grandeur decorating the area's historic clubs and galleries. Clusters of snowy white ranunculus, with their ruffled, many-layered petals, lend a dreamy softness to the ensemble, amplified by slender, pale yellow eustoma buds threaded delicately through the bouquet. These lighter accents capture the subtle light found on a leisurely morning stroll along Pall Mall. Vivid fuchsia-pink sprays and feathers of pink astilbe introduce playful colour at the edges, their energy and movement artfully balancing the more stately core. Airy, lacy green filler blooms and finely cut foliage reminiscent of Queen Anne's Lace add textural richness and the feeling of meadows bordering St James's Green. The arrangement is completed with a wide, glossy royal purple satin ribbon, its deep shade harmonizing beautifully with the cool florals above. Every detail, from the thoughtful colour blend to the abundant shape, reflects the exquisite floral artistry for which St James's is known-making this bouquet an ideal gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply bringing a touch of luxury to a home along St James's Street.
