RETIREMENT FLOWERS
A beautifully balanced mixed bouquet is shown against a smooth white background, the flowers gathered into a full, rounded shape that feels both elegant and inviting, like something you might collect from a trusted Highbury florist on your way home. At the heart of the design, two rich, deep red roses command attention, their petals tightly coiled and plush, suggesting passion, devotion, and an intimate kind of care. Radiating around them are clusters of white daisy-like spray chrysanthemums, each one with a bright lime-green centre that pops vividly against the white, adding a fresh, cheerful brightness reminiscent of early morning light over Highbury Corner. Woven among the whites are soft pink to deeper rosy-pink chrysanthemums with the same green centres, their petals forming layered discs of colour that introduce warmth and a hint of celebration to the bouquet. Nestled between these larger blooms, tiny pale pink waxflowers appear in airy sprays, their star-shaped blossoms and fine stems giving a delicate, almost whimsical texture that draws the viewer in closer. The entire arrangement is framed by lush green foliage, from broad, glossy leaves to finer green accents, which deepen the overall palette and lend a just-picked-from-the-garden feeling, as if gathered from a hidden courtyard near Highbury & Islington station. At the base, the stems are cleanly cut and tightly bound, clearly visible below the flower heads, indicating a hand-tied bouquet ready to be placed in water. This thoughtful mix of reds, whites, and pinks with vibrant greens would make a gorgeous gift for anniversaries, birthdays, thank-you gestures, or same-day delivery to brighten a flat overlooking Highbury Fields.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
Set against a clean, white studio background, this mixed bouquet fills the frame with colour and texture, creating the impression of a blooming sphere suspended in front of you, much like a burst of blossom along the streets of Highbury in spring. The design centres on several fully open bi-colour roses whose petals transition elegantly from clear, sunshine yellow at the inner whorls to glowing orange and soft red-orange tones at the tips, adding depth and a sense of gentle movement. Interlaced with these roses are crisp white daisy chrysanthemums, each surrounding a vivid lime-green disc that immediately draws the eye and offers a refreshing counterpoint to the warmer hues. Nestled among the daisies and roses are deep magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemum clusters, their many layered petals forming plush domes with subtly glowing yellow-green centres, enriching the arrangement with jewel-like vibrancy. Dark green foliage, reminiscent of ruscus, peeps from between flowers, providing structure and shadow, as if echoing the leafy canopy over Highbury's quiet residential streets. The bouquet is hand-tied, with its stems neatly gathered and cut straight at the base, clearly visible where they meet the white background, giving a sense of craftsmanship and freshness. This composition feels both celebratory and thoughtful, suitable for sending as a same-day surprise across Highbury and neighbouring Canonbury, marking milestones, anniversaries, or simply adding a bright focal point to a dining table after a walk through Highbury Fields. The interplay of bold yellow, crisp white, and saturated magenta creates a lively yet balanced display that speaks of joy, gratitude, and connection.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
Suffused with the lively spirit of Highbury, this floral bouquet brims with personality and warmth, beautifully framed by a crisp white background that accentuates every shade and texture. Flowing from its heart, creamy peach and vibrant orange roses unfurl decadently, their glow reminiscent of a sunlit stroll along Highbury Crescent on a mild afternoon. The bouquet is playfully punctuated by clusters of chrysanthemums-some with snowy white petals swirling about bright green centers, each echoing the cheerful daisy patches scattered through Highbury Fields, while others offer a bold pop of magenta-purple with striking lime-green eyes. Rich, deep green foliage, as glossy and abundant as Highbury's mature gardens, nestles every bloom, adding a sense of fullness and harmony. Slender arcs of light green bear grass sweep gracefully over the arrangement, their movement giving a lift of modernity and suggestion of a gentle breeze found in Arlington Square gardens. At the base, a bright, crinkled orange wrap envelops the stems, radiating energy and tying the entire palette together in a cohesive, celebratory gesture. Whether intended for a special event, for delivery to a friend on Gillespie Road, or simply to bring warmth home, this arrangement is a testament to local Highbury floral artistry-a tangible invitation to revel in life's milestones and everyday joys.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
Captured against a stark white background, this chrysanthemum bouquet glows with a fresh simplicity that lets every petal and leaf be clearly seen, as if held up for close inspection in a Highbury flower shop. The design is built around an elegant mix of white, creamy-yellow, and lively lime green tones. Larger chrysanthemum heads form the core of the bouquet, their multiple layers of fine petals fanning outward from pale green or soft yellow centres, creating a plush, dome-like shape that feels both classic and comforting. Threaded through these main blooms are clusters of smaller spray chrysanthemums, each daisy-like flower composed of neat white petals around a central eye, which gives the arrangement a delicate, airy quality and softens the overall texture. Punctuating the white and cream shades are bright lime green pompon chrysanthemums, perfectly rounded and tightly packed with tiny petals, adding a modern, sculpted contrast and a shot of cheerful colour, reminiscent of the lively energy around Highbury Corner on a busy day. Dark green foliage is interspersed throughout, adding depth and a natural framing that makes the white flowers appear even crisper. At the base, the stems are cleanly gathered and tied together with a wide satin ribbon in vivid lime green, folded into a generous, multi-looped bow that echoes the colour and playfulness of the pompon blooms. The bouquet communicates serenity, hope, and understated joy, making it suitable for moments ranging from a thoughtful hospital visit near Highbury & Islington station to a quiet celebration at home, where it can bring a gentle brightness to a dining table, sideboard, or windowsill.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
A fresh, artfully gathered bouquet is presented against a spotless white background, every flower standing out as though lovingly arranged in a local Highbury flower shop. At the centre, several fully open roses in creamy white with a whisper of pale yellow create a serene focal point, their soft, velvety petals folding into generous spirals that speak of classic romance. Encircling these roses are bold clusters of fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums, their slender petals forming full, daisy-like heads around bright yellow-green centres that add a lively, almost electric energy to the arrangement. Weaving delicately in between, small white daisy-style blooms - similar to chamomile or matricaria - bring a gentle, country-garden note to the design, their tiny golden centres glinting like drops of sunshine and evoking the relaxed greenery of Highbury Fields. Pockets of lush green foliage lend structure and depth, framing the blooms and giving the bouquet a rounded, abundant silhouette without sacrificing its natural, slightly informal character. The exposed stems are pulled neatly together and tied with a green and white checkered ribbon, whose gingham pattern feels comforting and familiar, like a picnic blanket spread out on the grass near Highbury Barn. Soft, even lighting illuminates the flowers, enhancing the contrast between the creamy roses, vivid mums, and airy white daisies, while subtle shadows underline the layers and textures. The bouquet exudes warmth and cheerful generosity, making it ideal for same-day delivery around Highbury, whether for a birthday celebration, a housewarming gift, or simply to brighten an apartment overlooking the tree-lined streets of N5.
LOVELY DREAMER
£50.00
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A generous bouquet of hydrangeas, artfully hand-tied and brimming with foliage, is displayed against a clean white background, its soft blues, whites, and greens creating a soothing, contemporary look. In the centre, a large, rounded head of creamy white hydrangeas forms a plush, cloud-like focal point, each floret overlapping the next to build a dense, velvety texture. Curving around this central bloom are clusters of sky-blue hydrangeas, placed toward the top and sides so that their petals spill gently outward, evoking the calm of a clear Highbury sky after rain. Tucked among them are smaller heads of lime and chartreuse hydrangeas, their fresh, zesty tones suggesting new growth in nearby gardens and along the paths of Highbury Fields. The bouquet is framed by an ample mix of greenery: cool-toned eucalyptus with rounded, silvery-green leaves brings an airy, slightly rustic edge, while darker, glossier green leaves provide depth and a sense of structure, anchoring the lighter blossoms. The stems are visible at the base, neatly gathered and tied together in the style of a traditional hand-tied bunch, the cut ends aligned and slightly fanned, ready to slip into a glass vase on a dining table or windowsill. Soft, even lighting highlights each petal and leaf, casting minimal shadow and helping the peaceful colour palette stand out against the crisp white backdrop. The overall impression is one of calm elegance and freshness, making this bouquet well suited to birthdays, new home celebrations, or simple gestures of appreciation for friends and neighbours across Highbury, Canonbury, and the surrounding streets.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
Against a bright white background, a fresh flower bouquet stands as a vivid study in colour and form, the kind of arrangement that would look at home in a Highbury townhouse window. At its centre, several pink roses unfold in generous, layered spirals, their petals soft and slightly curled at the edges, giving a feeling of romance and warmth. Surrounded by these, sunny yellow gerbera daisies with dark brown centres face outward with confidence, each bloom crisp and symmetrical, adding optimism and a playful energy to the mix. Rising elegantly behind, slender stems of deep blue delphiniums carry rows of small, intense blue florets, offering vertical structure and a cool-toned contrast that anchors the composition, much like the strong lines of nearby terrace houses along Highbury Park.   

The bouquet is wrapped in generous greenery that creates a sense of fullness and movement. Fine, feathery fern fronds extend from the lower edges, softening the outline and adding a slightly wild, garden-inspired feel, as though the flowers were freshly cut from a border near Highbury Fields. Interspersed through the arrangement are clumps of vivid green, textured filler foliage that resemble soft cushions, filling any gaps and enhancing the three-dimensional depth of the design. Wide, glossy dark green leaves, some subtly streaked with light green, are carefully curved around the lower portion of the blooms, forming a sleek collar that showcases the floristry skills behind the bouquet. From the top, delicate pale green stems tipped with unopened buds rise lightly, contributing an airy, fresh quality.   

At the base, the stems are cleanly gathered and bound with a pale, textured wrap and a simple tie, leaving the natural stems visible. This bouquet feels ideal for same-day delivery around Highbury, whether to celebrate a birthday, mark a milestone, or simply bring a burst of colour and life into a local home or studio.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
This image captures a sumptuous bouquet of fresh flowers set against a pure white background, a style often used by Highbury florists to highlight every tone and texture. At the heart of the composition are lush garden roses in shades of blush pink, dusty mauve, and soft antique rose, their velvety petals unfurling in tight spirals to form a central cluster of gentle romance. Encircling them are generous carnations, each head densely ruffled, with creamy bases flowing into blush and finally into vivid fuchsia or plum-pink along the frilled edges, giving the bouquet an inviting, tactile richness. Interspersed are deep indigo-blue blooms, shaped like elegant, closed tulip or anemone buds, adding a sophisticated contrast to the warmer hues. Near the front sits a standout royal blue anemone with an almost black centre, anchoring the palette with a dramatic, jewel-toned note. Slender stems of stock in pale lilac and lavender rise lightly above and among the rounder flowers, introducing a sense of height and airiness, and hinting at a sweet, subtly spicy fragrance that feels reminiscent of early evening walks along Highbury Park. The bouquet is framed by an abundance of greenery: glossy dark leaves and rounded, silvery eucalyptus that soften the outline and give the impression of cool, fresh foliage just misted in the shop. The stems are gathered closely and tied at the base in classic hand-tied style, ready for same-day delivery around Highbury Corner or along Blackstock Road. The blend of romantic pinks, tranquil purples, bold blues, and fresh greens makes this arrangement well suited to a special birthday, an anniversary, or a thoughtful "thinking of you" gesture.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
PINK DAZE
PINK DAZE
£49.00
A generously rounded bouquet of roses, carnations, and seasonal flowers in pink, mauve, and purple tones rests against a pure white background, every bloom carefully placed to create balance and depth. At its heart, soft pastel pink roses open in layered spirals, their petals subtly shaded with hints of deeper rose along the edges, giving each flower a sense of delicate movement. Around them, sumptuous carnations in dusty rose and cool mauve-purple unfold in countless ruffled petals, forming a plush cushion of texture that feels both contemporary and timeless. Piercing this softness, slender stems of deep indigo and violet Veronica reach upwards, their elongated spires lending height and a hint of wild meadow character, like something gathered from a walk near Highbury Fields. Punctuating the design are rich purple lisianthus blooms, some fully open to show their softly curling petals, others still in bud, adding sophisticated depth and a gentle sense of anticipation. Scattered between the larger flowers are tiny, daisy-like aster blossoms in soft lavender and periwinkle, each with a bright, pale centre that brings a light, airy quality, as if the bouquet has been dusted with floral confetti. The arrangement is wrapped in a collar of greenery: vivid lime-green, textural filler creates lively pops of colour, while silvery eucalyptus leaves and varied foliage provide structure and a soothing, natural frame. The stems are gathered firmly at the base and neatly trimmed, showing the telltale signs of an expert hand-tied bouquet, ready to be placed in a vase in a Highbury home near Islington's charming streets. Viewed from slightly above, the bouquet appears full, rounded, and joyful, making it an ideal choice for celebrating milestones, offering thanks, or simply brightening someone's day with a refined yet inviting floral gift.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
Bathed in gentle daylight, this exquisite floral arrangement invites the joy and brightness of summer into any Highbury home. At the heart of the design, radiant sunflowers unfurl, their golden-yellow petals glowing like patches of sunlight skipping across Highbury Fields. Partnering with them, soft yellow roses bloom in spirals of rich, velvety texture-a nod to the elegant rose beds of nearby local gardens. Vibrant clusters of ruby-red Hypericum berries nestle among the greenery, their playful tones and shapes reminiscent of market stalls along Highbury Park Road. Delicate ferns and gold-tipped sprigs cascade from the bouquet, introducing a sense of movement reflective of breezes through Gillespie Park. Wisps of eucalyptus lend a refreshing touch, weaving cool blue and green shades between brighter blooms. Arranged in a spotless, round glass vase, the stems are visible beneath glimmering water, giving the bouquet a sense of unfiltered freshness and honesty. The fragrance is soft and uplifting-a blend of sunflowers, garden roses, and crisp greens that lingers with the promise of open spaces and light-filled afternoons. Designed for birthdays, anniversaries, or moments of heartfelt celebration, this composition captures the spirit of north London living, thoughtfully gathered by the skilled florists of Highbury.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
Lit by gentle, even studio light, a hand-tied bouquet of Gerbera daisies radiates joy from its nest in a crystal-clear vase. The arrangement, carefully designed by a skilled Highbury florist, showcases bold yellow, searing orange, and exuberant fuchsia petals, each forming a vibrant ring around their signature dark centers. Sprays of verdant greenery offer contrast and texture, filling the bouquet with visual movement and recalling the leafy beauty of Highbury's parks. The flowers are wrapped with rustic sophistication in a sleeve of warm kraft paper and an outer layer of gleaming cellophane, their cone shape cradling the plentiful blooms. Visible through the vase's transparent sides, the stems rest in cool, fresh water-ready for immediate delivery anywhere from Highbury Corner to Finsbury Park. Around the bundled stems, a loop of rough-textured twine holds a petite white gift tag finished with the design of a delicate red rose, an emblem of personal touch and local pride. Capturing the spirit of warmth and celebration, this bouquet is perfect for National Flower Delivery Day, a thoughtful thank-you, or an eye-catching centrepiece for a Highbury home. Every detail speaks to the passion and artistry of the neighbourhood's expert florists.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
As a florist rooted in Highbury's close-knit community, I take pride in presenting this exquisite composition-a bouquet vibrant with rich, orange-pink roses assembled with the same care found in our boutique shops along Highbury Barn. Each rose blooms in gentle gradients, radiating warmth from golden-peach centres into shades of coral, salmon, and blush pink, a delicate interplay that mirrors the shifting colours across Highbury Park at dusk. The bouquet's plush, velvety petals and surrounding glossy green foliage provide a feast for the senses, softly reflecting daylight that pours in from neighbourhood windows. Nestled gracefully at the arrangement's base, a light beige packet of Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolates introduces a hint of indulgence; its stylish branding and bold title set the tone, while the two unwrapped truffles in front invite with their smooth, chocolatey finish. This purposeful coming together of floral artistry and gourmet treat brings comfort and joy-ideal for celebrating a birthday, expressing love on Valentine's Day, or offering solace after a long week in Highbury. Every detail, from the expertly tied stems to the harmonious colour blend, underlines a tradition of thoughtful gifting and heartfelt connection within our local community.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
Drawing inspiration from Highbury's picturesque greens and vibrant mews, this lush bouquet presents a captivating interplay of colour, form, and texture. Dense hydrangea clusters in moody blues, teals, and violets provide a dramatic anchor, setting a calming yet striking foundation reminiscent of tranquil walks through Highbury's New Park. Between these bold elements, lilac and ivory roses unfurl in gentle spirals, their creamy petals exuding a quiet elegance and timeless romanticism. Weighty white ranunculus blossoms are tucked throughout, their meticulously layered petals mirroring the abundant, textural hedgerows lining Highbury's residential lanes. Pale yellow eustoma buds and their partially opened blooms emerge between the principal flowers, lending a light, refreshing touch akin to golden early morning sunlight in nearby gardens. Bright fuchsia sprays and ethereal pale pink astilbe dance about the composition, infusing vitality and a whimsical softness that feels at home among Highbury's playful flowerbeds. Fine, lacy clusters of green and white filler flowers-evocative of Queen Anne's Lace-enhance the bouquet's dimension and integrity. Lush, deep green leaves weave throughout, ensuring the vibrant colours and textures stand out in high relief. Neatly gathered and wrapped at the base with a luxurious, glossy purple satin ribbon, this bouquet becomes a testament to fine floral design. Perfect for celebrations or simply to bring the beauty of Highbury's local flower shops home, each arrangement embodies the area's storied charm and fresh creativity.
