CHRISTENING FLOWERS
A generous mixed bouquet fills the frame against a clear white background, the clean setting drawing every detail into focus much like bright daylight in a small Upper Norwood florist's studio. The flowers are tightly clustered into a pleasing, rounded dome, with the design built around several striking bi-colour roses. These roses are in full bloom, their petals unfolding from a warm golden yellow heart through glowing orange tones to subtle reddish-orange at the tips, creating the impression of softly glowing embers. Woven among them are many white daisy-like chrysanthemums, their smooth petals opening around intense lime-green centres that add a lively jolt of colour and prevent the arrangement from feeling too heavy. Deep magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, small but densely petalled, are scattered throughout, building layers of texture and depth. Their yellow-green centres mirror the hue found in the daisies, bringing the palette together in a harmonised dance of green, white, yellow, and rich pink. Dark, glossy foliage-likely ruscus or similar greenery-tucks between the blooms, giving the bouquet a structured silhouette and a subtle woodland freshness, much like walking through the leafy paths that lead down toward Gipsy Hill. The stems at the base are neatly gathered and tied, clearly visible against the white ground, confirming that this is a freshly hand-tied gift ready to be placed in water. The overall mood is bright, confident, and celebratory, ideal for marking milestones, sharing congratulations, or sending a thoughtful surprise to a friend or family member living near Crystal Palace Triangle, with colours that can lift a room even on a misty south London morning.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
Imagine the gentle light of a Crystal Palace morning washing across this bouquet-a composition that instantly evokes the inviting corners of Upper Norwood. Rose petals, soft and peach-pink, radiate from the centre in layered spirals, while peachy gerbera daisies radiate with happiness, their bold brown centres offering a contemporary touch akin to modern local cafés. Wispy baby's breath clusters shimmer between the bolder blooms, creating an airy ambiance reminiscent of dew on fresh cut grass at South Norwood Lake. Crisp white chrysanthemums, each showcasing a vibrant green core, lend a feeling of freshness and renewal, matched by scattered green leaves that recall the robust flora framing Church Road. The flowers are nestled within a classic clear glass vase, the stems artfully arrayed in water to showcase natural form and colour. Tied around the slender neck, rustic twine or raffia is finished with a clean, blank white tag-unmarked, yet brimming with potential for personal wishes. This bouquet is an embodiment of thoughtful preparation and neighbourhood pride, perfect for celebrations, heartfelt thanks, or simply sending a dash of Upper Norwood cheer to any doorstep.
CANDY CRUSH
£55.00
Emanating warmth and refined beauty, this mixed bouquet is a tapestry of colour and texture, artfully put together by Upper Norwood's trusted florists. At its center, pale lilac roses unfurl as if warmed by the gentle sun that peeks over Crystal Palace, their subtly scented petals inviting quiet reflection. Surrounding these are plush magenta chrysanthemums and radiant fuchsia Gerberas, whose intensity mirrors the vibrancy of Westow Hill's Saturday market. Clusters of delicate baby's breath float between the larger blooms, creating a soft, cloud-like contrast that brings a sense of airiness to the arrangement. Deep green foliage peeks from beneath, reminiscent of Norwood's leafy corners, contributing freshness and balance to the whole composition. The bouquet is anchored in a clear glass vase adorned with an artisanal 'cracked ice' finish, catching the day's light and enhancing its rustic charm. A raffia ribbon tied around the vase's neck supports a plain white gift tag, ready for a special message-perfect for a local anniversary surprise or to brighten a friend's day. This bouquet feels at once modern and personal, ideal for celebrating milestones, sending comfort, or simply sharing joy with neighbours throughout SE19.
DAY BRIGHTENER
£55.00
Set against a pure white backdrop, this carefully crafted bouquet appears almost to glow, as if catching soft daylight through a Upper Norwood bay window. The arrangement is full and rounded, a hand-tied cluster of fresh flowers where every stem has been thoughtfully placed. At its heart, several deep red roses stand out with tightly furled, velvety petals that speak of romance, admiration, and deep affection. Surrounding them, white daisy-like chrysanthemums with striking lime-green centres form a jubilant ring of brightness, their neat petals radiating a sense of clarity and optimism. Interlaced throughout are light to medium pink daisy chrysanthemums, also crowned with green centres, adding a playful yet gentle warmth that balances the intensity of the red roses. Delicate sprays of pale pink waxflower-style filler blooms are scattered through the bouquet like tiny confetti, their miniature, star-shaped petals and prominent stamens adding fine detail and a whisper of countryside hedgerows beyond Crystal Palace. Fresh green foliage, from sleek, broad leaves to more delicate sprigs, peeks out between the blossoms, grounding the arrangement and giving it a lush, garden-fresh look. The stems gather neatly into a tight bundle, perfectly straight and evenly cut, making it clear this is a hand-tied design ready for a vase on a dining table or desk. The overall impression is one of joyful tenderness and calm celebration, a bouquet suited to sharing love, gratitude, or a thoughtful "thinking of you" with someone special in Upper Norwood and the surrounding streets.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
Expertly arranged with an eye for both colour and sentiment, this bouquet draws inspiration from the charming terraces and lush corners of Upper Norwood. White roses bloom like soft lanterns against the passionate flare of red roses, their petals saturated in warmth and freshness reminiscent of South Norwood Lake's waterside blooms. Encircling the roses, diverse green foliage-glossy ruscus, airy eucalyptus, and cream-speckled variegated leaves-add both structure and delicate movement, reflecting the botanical richness of Norwood's avenues. The bouquet is gently wrapped in blush-pink paper, its diaphanous finish capturing ambient light and imparting an uplifting, serene quality. Hints of mint, cream, and deep green weave through the foliage, grounding the bold blooms with a sense of life and renewal. Reflecting Upper Norwood's community spirit, this bouquet is crafted for moments of celebration: special birthdays, milestones, or tokens of everyday affection. Every stem and fold is imbued with artistry and care, echoing the natural beauty and welcoming atmosphere of our neighbourhood-from Gipsy Hill to the bustling Triangle-making it a foolproof gesture of joy, love, and appreciation.
INFINITY
£79.00
Seen against a pure white background, this elegant arrangement centers on one fully opened creamy-white Oriental lily whose pristine, slightly curved petals reveal delicate pale yellow stamens and a greenish pistil like a calm, luminous heart. Clustered around it are many lily buds in shades of lime green and pale yellow, suggesting future blooms and adding a soft architectural rhythm. Scattered through the bouquet are small, rich red rosebuds and roses beginning to unfurl, their velvety crimson forming dramatic, romantic punctuation among the paler lilies. The composition is grounded by varied green foliage: glossy, deep forest-green leaves provide weight and depth; long, arching palm fronds in a lighter emerald hue introduce sweeping movement; and rounded, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves add cool texture and gentle contrast. The flowers are arranged in a clear, cylindrical glass vase so the light green stems are visible through clean water, reinforcing the fresh, honest quality of the arrangement. Bright, even lighting isolates every detail - the satin sheen of lily petals, the soft curl of rosebuds, the layered veins of leaves - and evokes an imagined fragrance of sweet, powdery lilies mingling with the warm, classic scent of roses. As a local touch, this composition is the sort of elegant tribute we prepare at Florist Upper Norwood for deliveries across Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace and neighbouring roads; it's ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, or understated celebrations where purity and passion are meant to speak clearly without fuss.
INSPIRATION
£65.00
A generous bouquet of oriental lilies occupies the image, its round silhouette made luminous by a clean white background that highlights the interplay of white and deep pink blooms. The white lilies are a soft, creamy off-white with hints of pale green or buttery yellow at their throats; the pink flowers range from rose to intense fuchsia, their petals sometimes marked with lighter veins and a creamy centre that draws the eye inward. Several blossoms are fully unfurled, revealing star-like interiors populated by slender stamens tipped with delicate anthers, while other flowers remain long, tight buds-evidence of freshness that promises days of evolving beauty. Sprays of dark green, lance-like foliage thread through the bouquet, adding sculptural lines and a verdant counterpoint to the velvety petals. The arrangement rests in a simple clear glass vase placed low in the frame, its transparency offering a glimpse of trimmed stems and clean water and reinforcing the sense of meticulous florist craftsmanship. The lighting is bright and neutral, bringing out petal texture and the subtle sheen on the leaves, and the whole composition evokes a soft, uplifting fragrance one might experience in a sunlit kitchen near Gipsy Hill or a sitting room just off Anerley Road. This is an elegant choice for a thoughtful gift, a Mother's Day tribute, or an anniversary bouquet for someone in Upper Norwood, presented with the confident care local clients have come to expect from experienced florists.
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A full, rounded bouquet of hydrangeas and mixed greenery is shown against a luminous white background, as though it has just been arranged by an experienced florist working close to Crystal Palace Triangle in Upper Norwood. The eye is immediately drawn to the central bloom: a large, creamy white hydrangea head, composed of countless tiny florets that overlap to create a plush, cloud-like mound of petals. Flanking this focal point are lush clusters of pale sky-blue hydrangeas, visible towards the upper left and right; their petals shift subtly in shade, from misty blue at the centre to paler edges, echoing soft afternoon skies above the Norwood Ridge. Tucked in between and nearer the base are lively lime-green hydrangea heads, their chartreuse hue injecting a bright, invigorating contrast, like the first new leaves around Upper Norwood's gardens in early spring. Interspersed among these hydrangeas is an abundance of greenery: notable are the rounded, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves, which arc outward and add a cool, contemporary feel, while deeper, glossy green foliage fills the inner spaces, lending depth and a rich, verdant backdrop. The entire bouquet forms a neat, domed silhouette, with each flower turned outward so that the pastel palette of white, blue, and green is fully on display. At the bottom, the natural green stems are visible, gathered and tied securely to emphasize its hand-tied craftsmanship and readiness for a clear glass vase. Soft, even lighting casts minimal shadow, allowing the bouquet's serene colours and textures to shine, creating an overall mood of peace and sophisticated joy-perfect for thoughtful gifts, anniversaries, or stylish home décor in Upper Norwood flats and townhouses.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
An elegant hand-tied bouquet of about twelve creamy white roses and feathery baby's breath sits poised in a clear glass vase, its trimmed stems revealed through the water and a bright white background that keeps attention entirely on the blooms. The roses vary from tightly furled buds to generous, fully opened heads, their petals layered with a velvety, almost luminous cream that catches soft, natural light as if from a north-facing window near Crown Lane. Interspersed between the main flowers, delicate sprigs of Gypsophila create a soft halo-tiny white points that give the arrangement an ethereal, almost snowfall-like quality. A rich palette of foliage in deep green and lighter fresh tones frames the composition, offering both structure and a refreshing colour counterpoint. The overall texture balances plush rose petals with the diaphanous breath-like clusters, conveying both substance and lightness. The scent is gentle: a faint, clean floral note that suggests a morning in a sunlit conservatory or a short stroll past the markets around Anerley, and it brings a feeling of calm confidence to any room. As a local florist, Florist Upper Norwood often composes bouquets like this for intimate celebrations, quiet remembrances, or to brighten a neighbour's day, and the pictured arrangement reflects careful handling-crisp stems, clear water, and blossoms arranged to speak of enduring elegance. There's a thoughtful simplicity here that feels both ceremonial and warmly personal, perfect for gifting or for bringing a measured serenity to a home in the Upper Norwood area.
MY ONLY
£70.00
Arranging flowers at our shop in Upper Norwood, I find myself drawn into the luminous harmony that arises from blending soft blush gerberas with exquisite pink roses. Their petals seem to melt into one another in a delicate wash of colour-like watercolor paints blooming across a canvas inspired by the gardens of Crystal Palace Park. Stems of deep purple statice provide sparkling highlights, punctuating the bouquet with joyful notes in much the same way as laughter rings out at local street markets. The greenery beneath adds refreshing coolness and abundant life, evoking the hearty, verdant spaces along Harold Road. Set within an understated glass vase, the arrangement appears to gently glow in the daylight streaming through local bay windows. Ideal as a get-well gesture, a lovely centrepiece for a terrace on Auckland Road, or a refined decorative accent for a modern Norwood flat, the bouquet embodies both the skilled hand and the caring heart of a local florist. Each petal and leaf is carefully selected to ensure the gift, upon delivery, expresses both optimism and considered joy-reflecting Upper Norwood's unique warmth and character.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
A richly coloured, professionally arranged bouquet sits centre stage in a clear, lightly textured glass vase, set before a bright, softly diffused white backdrop that suggests a sunny Upper Norwood morning. The design is led by striking gerbera daisies in deep fuchsia and magenta, their broad petals and almost black centres giving the arrangement confident focal points. Clustered around them, daisy-like chrysanthemums in a dramatic purple-and-white bicolour pattern show fringed petals tipped in vivid plum, melting into snowy white around warm yellow centres, adding depth and intricate detail. Threaded between these bold blooms are creamy white spray roses, some fully open with soft, layered petals, others still in bud, hinting at blooms yet to come and lending a classic, romantic note. Delicate white gypsophila drifts through the composition, its tiny blossoms creating a misty halo that lightens the saturated pinks and purples. Deep green leaves and stems anchor the flowers, their glossy surfaces providing a fresh contrast that feels as if the bouquet has just been brought in from the gardens near Crystal Palace Park. The short, jar-style glass vase is cinched at the neck with rustic twine, tied in a relaxed bow that introduces a touch of country charm. From this bow hangs a small rectangular tag in pale tones, embellished with a pink floral motif and elegant writing, hinting at a personal message for a birthday, congratulations, or a cheerful same-day delivery around Church Road. The soft natural light reflects off the water and glass, illuminating every petal and giving the whole arrangement a joyful, uplifting presence, ideal for brightening a hallway, office desk, or cosy living room in Upper Norwood.
PINK SWEETNESS
£55.00
This upright, hand-gathered bouquet celebrates white in its simplest, most comforting form: clusters of bright white chrysanthemum blooms sit at the forefront, each composed of many narrow petals circling a warm pale-yellow eye that catches the light. Between these cheerful blossoms, slender pale green lily buds-some with a faint striping-stand like quiet promises, taut with the possibility of opening, lending the arrangement a refined expectancy. Delicate clouds of gypsophila (baby's breath) are woven through the composition, their myriad tiny white florets softening edges and adding an ethereal, lace-like texture that contrasts with the fuller chrysanthemum heads. Deep green foliage provides a cool, velvety backdrop and shapes the bouquet into a pleasing, organic silhouette. The flowers are wrapped in an inner sheaf of crinkled brown kraft paper for an earthy, handmade feel, then finished in clear, glossy cellophane for protection and polish; the base is neatly gathered and tied, making the bouquet easy to carry. The mood is quietly optimistic-pure, tranquil, and versatile-appropriate for occasions ranging from a serene sympathy gesture to a tasteful anniversary or a thoughtful housewarming. The fragrance, if one could catch it here, would be faint and fresh, a hint of green stems and early morning air. Packaged to travel easily, this bouquet would be fitting for delivery around Upper Norwood, perhaps to a flat near Beulah Hill or a home with views toward the trees by Crystal Palace Park, where its calm simplicity would feel especially resonant.
PURE ELEGANCE
£65.00
A meticulously composed display of white lilies stands proud in a classic clear glass vase against an unblemished white backdrop, the kind of arrangement a local florist in Upper Norwood might place on a mantel or beside a bedside. The blooms present multiple smooth, overlapping petals that unfurl in gentle curves, each petal a brilliant, luminous white graduating inward to a soft cream-yellow at the throat, which gives the flowers a quiet warmth. Slender stamens with pale green filaments and warm brown anthers project from the centers, their lines offering fine, tactile contrast to the petals' broad sweeps. Rich, dark green lanceolate leaves are artfully threaded through the bouquet, their glossy texture and deep hue framing the white flowers and lending the arrangement depth and volume. Clear water within the vase shows the neatly trimmed, pale green stems and produces small reflections of light, emphasizing both freshness and careful floral handling. One can almost sense the lilies' subtle perfume-fresh, sweet, and reassuring-filling a calm room on a morning walk from Westow Hill to Crown Point. This arrangement reads as both dignified and uplifting, suitable for occasions of remembrance, an elegant housewarming gift for a neighbour near Norwood Road, or a refined centrepiece that whispers thoughtful sentiment rather than shouting it. The photograph's simple white background ensures every tactile and chromatic detail is clear to the eye and to the mind.
