RETIREMENT FLOWERS
A round, abundantly filled bouquet is captured against a plain white background, its colours and shapes forming a gentle yet striking harmony. At its heart, two deep red roses rise slightly above the surrounding flowers, their petals tightly layered in elegant spirals that suggest both freshness and intensity of feeling. Around them spreads a circle of white daisy-style chrysanthemums, each one with a strong lime-green centre that seems to glow, bringing crisp, playful brightness to the arrangement. Interlaced among the white blooms are many soft to medium pink daisy chrysanthemums with matching green centres, so that the eye moves easily between the pinks and whites, the colours blending in a comforting rhythm. Scattered delicately through the bouquet, pale pink filler flowers-resembling tiny waxflowers-appear in clusters, their miniature, cup-like blossoms and fine, branching stems adding a light, lacy backdrop to the larger heads. Lush greenery, made up of broad, polished leaves and slender stems, shapes the bouquet into a full, domed form, highlighting the blooms and lending a garden-fresh character. The stems extend from the base in a neat, tied bundle, emphasising that this is a hand-tied piece ready to be slipped into a vase and admired from every angle. The overall impression is of a bouquet that radiates cheerfulness and affection without being overpowering. One can imagine it resting on a windowsill in a Southgate flat near Grovelands Park, or arriving as a surprise flower delivery to a home off Bourne Hill, gently transforming the room into a small celebration space for a birthday, a 'get well soon' wish, or a quiet thank-you.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
Against a stark, studio-white background, a rounded hand-tied bouquet dominates the frame, its colours vividly defined, like a bright splash of cheer arriving at a doorstep in Southgate. Front and centre, large roses unfurl in full bloom, their petals blending from a bright golden yellow heart into layered rings of orange and soft reddish-orange along the outer edges, creating a warm, almost glowing focal point. Around them sit numerous white daisy-style chrysanthemums, each bloom tidy and symmetrical, with fine petals surrounding a striking lime-green centre that gives the bouquet a cool, contemporary lift. Nestled between these lighter flowers, clusters of smaller magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums form dense, cushiony heads, their deeply saturated colour and yellow-green centres adding a sense of richness and energy, reminiscent of the lively stalls along nearby Green Lanes. Deep green, glossy foliage, similar to ruscus, weaves in and out of the blooms, adding volume, contrast, and a softly textured frame that enhances the dome-like shape. At the base, the stems are drawn together and trimmed evenly, clearly visible and suggesting the bouquet has just been hand-finished by an experienced florist in the Southgate area, ready for a vase or presentation. The composition feels joyful yet balanced, with no single flower overwhelming the rest. This arrangement of white, yellow, orange, and magenta tones evokes celebration, gratitude, and affection, ideal for sending congratulations on a new home, marking an anniversary dinner near Grovelands Park, or simply sending a bright hello to someone special nearby.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
Captured in soft, natural light, this vibrant bouquet offers an uplifting symphony of peach, magenta, and crisp white, evoking the lively spirit found across Southgate's community. Lush peach-to-orange roses, their petals gently unfurling in concentric spirals, form the focal point, radiating outwards with warmth. Among them nestle animated chrysanthemums-some gleaming white with fresh green centers that recall the simplicity of childhood afternoons in Grovelands Park, while others inject bold drama with densely layered magenta petals and vivid yellow-green eyes. Rich green foliage, glossy and luxuriant, wraps around each stem like a protective embrace, deepening the sense of natural abundance. A slender arch of bear grass sweeps with effortless elegance, lending the arrangement movement and a touch of contemporary artistry. All is cradled in bright, crinkled orange paper, the hue alive with the vibrancy of a Southgate market. This bouquet's inviting presence seems to spark joy and fond memories, whether marking a milestone or offering comfort. It embodies the heartfelt service and expert care typical of a local Southgate florist, promising that every sentiment is delivered fresh and beautifully arranged to delight its recipient.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
Against a clean, uncluttered white backdrop, a generously rounded bouquet of chrysanthemums glows in shades of white, cream, and fresh lime green, like a breath of calm air on a quiet morning in Southgate. Large-headed white and creamy-yellow chrysanthemums form the main body of the design, their many-petalled blooms opening wide and soft, with gently domed centres in pale green and subtle lemon tones. They create a cloud-like fullness that feels both traditional and deeply comforting, reminiscent of classic British garden flowers in late spring. Threaded through this softness, daintier spray chrysanthemums appear as clusters of tiny white daisies, their delicate petals radiating from neat green eyes, filling any gaps so that no stem or binding shows. Punctuating the design are bold lime green pompon chrysanthemums, perfectly spherical and tightly packed with tiny petals, giving a plush, almost mossy texture that contrasts beautifully with the larger, open blooms. Their vivid green tone adds a modern brightness that brings the whole bouquet to life, much like the lively feel of the shops and cafés around Southgate underground station. Dark green foliage supports and structures the bouquet from within, its serrated leaves adding depth and framing the flower heads. The stems are trimmed and drawn tightly together, secured by a wide satin ribbon in vibrant lime green, tied into a smooth, multi-looped bow that mirrors the cheerful pompons above. The composition radiates clarity, peace, and gentle renewal, making it an ideal choice for offering sympathy, celebrating a new baby, or sending a hopeful get-well message to someone special in the Southgate area.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
Set against a bright, uncluttered white background, this bouquet appears as a vivid burst of garden colour, much like stumbling on a hidden pocket of blooms off Southgate's quiet residential streets. At its heart, several fully opened roses in creamy white fading gently to pale yellow form elegant focal points, their layered, velvety petals curling inwards with a calm, classic grace. Surrounding them, generous heads of magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums bring bold contrast, each flower with a crisp yellow-green centre that adds sparkle and a sense of upbeat celebration. Interwoven among these more dramatic blossoms are airy stems of tiny white daisies, closely resembling chamomile, each with a small golden centre that lifts the palette and gives the whole arrangement a light, carefree charm. A few unopened or half-opened chrysanthemum buds in deeper purple-pink shades tuck between the larger flowers, adding depth and a hint of natural spontaneity. Rich green foliage, from the more refined rose leaves to the broader mum leaves, frames the flowers, grounding the colour and giving the bouquet a lush, full shape. At the base, the stems are gathered tightly and secured with a green and white checkered ribbon, adding a touch of rustic detail that feels at home in a local Southgate kitchen or living room. Even, soft lighting reveals every petal's texture and the gentle sheen on the leaves, making the arrangement appear freshly prepared and ready for same-day delivery as a thoughtful gift, ideal for marking milestones, sharing thanks, or simply brightening a home.
LOVELY DREAMER
£50.00
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A generous hydrangea bouquet is captured in full detail against a pure white studio background, as if freshly set down on a florist's bench in Southgate. At its heart, a large, rounded cluster of creamy white hydrangeas dominates, the individual florets forming a dense, pillowy mass that looks as soft as a bundle of cotton. Around this central bloom, equally full heads of hydrangeas in cool sky-blue and zesty lime-green create a soothing yet lively palette, recalling the contrast of pale clouds and new leaves seen in nearby Grovelands Park on a bright morning. The blue hydrangea clusters sit towards the top and sides, giving a gentle wash of colour, while the green heads are tucked near the base and edges, lending a fresh, garden-like energy. Interwoven throughout are stems of silvery eucalyptus, their rounded leaves dusted with a subtle blue-grey tone that quietly cools the composition. Deeper emerald foliage, some leaves slightly pointed and others more rounded, builds volume and texture, echoing the layered greenery of Southgate's leafy residential streets. The bouquet is crafted into a rounded, generous shape, with the natural stems gathered and tied close together at the bottom in a traditional hand-tied finish, ready to be placed in a clear vase on a kitchen table or office desk. Soft, even light falls across the flowers, revealing the faint ripples along each petal edge and the subtle variations in colour from petal tip to centre. The overall mood is calm, uplifting, and understatedly elegant, making this design ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, thank-you gifts, or simply bringing a sense of fresh air indoors with a same-day delivery in the local area.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
A vibrant mixed bouquet of fresh flowers stands out crisply against a clean white background, the colours and shapes arranged with the care of an experienced Southgate florist. In the heart of the design, several large pink roses unfold in soft spirals, their petals slightly cupped and overlapping, suggesting tenderness and quiet luxury. Surrounding them, golden-yellow gerbera daisies with deep, dark centres radiate warmth and cheer, like sunshine breaking through on a walk down Chase Side. Reaching higher, spires of deep blue delphiniums draw the eye upward, their layered florets creating a cool, elegant contrast that gives the bouquet height and movement. The flowers are cradled in an abundance of greenery: delicate fern fronds peek from the edges, adding a feathery softness, while mounded clusters of vivid green filler blooms create a cushion of texture between the feature flowers. Around the lower half, broad, glossy tropical-style leaves, some etched with lighter stripe patterns, are wrapped in a smooth curve to form a neat, architectural collar that frames the blossoms. Slender green stems with tiny buds lift gently above the main flowers, giving the impression of new growth and early spring in a local Southgate garden. The stems are gathered tightly and tied with a pale, natural wrap and simple bow, leaving the straight green stems visible and evenly cut. The bouquet feels celebratory yet modern, ideal as a hand-tied gift for a birthday, congratulations, or a thinking-of-you surprise delivered to homes and offices around Southgate and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
This hand-tied bouquet looks as though it has been painted in soft, layered strokes, then lifted from a canvas and set against a crisp white backdrop, where every colour and texture can breathe. At its core, full garden roses open in shades of blush pink and antique dusty mauve, their spiralling petals forming generous cups that speak of classic romance. Around them, luxuriant carnations with deeply frilled edges show a bi-colour effect: creamy, almost porcelain centres that slowly intensify to rose, berry and plum tones at the tips, bringing depth and movement. Nestled between these are vivid accents of deep indigo-blue flowers, some still in elegant, closed buds and others more open, like tulips or anemones, adding a rich, jewel-like glow. Near the front sits a striking royal blue anemone, its dark, velvety centre drawing the eye and grounding the cooler hues. Tall, airy stems of lilac and pale lavender stock rise gently, studded with numerous small blossoms, creating a sense of height and a suggestion of delicate fragrance drifting through a living room near Southgate Underground or a cosy flat off Waterfall Road. Surrounding all of this is generous greenery: glossy dark leaves and softly rounded eucalyptus in silvery-green tones, which lace the bouquet with a relaxed, natural structure and a whisper of fresh, aromatic scent. The stems are gathered neatly in a hand-tied finish, suggesting a freshly made arrangement ready for local delivery in and around Southgate. With its romantic pinks, tranquil purples and dramatic blue notes, this design feels as suitable for celebrating a milestone birthday as it does for sending warm wishes, sympathy, or quiet support.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
Arranged with the practiced hands of a Southgate florist, this bouquet offers a scene of gentle beauty and uplifting light, reminiscent of early mornings along Southgate High Street. Soft blush gerberas mingle with classic, medium-pink roses, their petals layered like watercolor washes, each bloom representing a careful moment of craftsmanship. Bursts of deep violet statice punctuate the arrangement, creating a visually delightful contrast against soothing greenery that feels dewy and fresh to the touch, evoking the scent of local gardens after a rain shower. The bouquet is artfully balanced in a slender glass vase, allowing the soft play of sunlight through stems and water to give a luminous effect, as if the flowers themselves are quietly glowing. Perfect for occasions as meaningful as a heartfelt get-well gesture or a sophisticated centerpiece for a Southgate home or office, this bouquet embodies the optimism and warmth found throughout our neighbourhood. Every petal and leaf is selected with intention, ensuring that each arrangement sent across Southgate not only brightens spaces but also conveys care, craftsmanship, and the spirit of thoughtful giving.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
A generously rounded bouquet of roses, carnations, and seasonal stems is shown in crisp detail against a white backdrop, every bloom inviting you into its colour and texture. Soft pink and mauve roses form the main body of the display, their petals layered like silk, some tightly spiralled, others just beginning to unfurl so that you can almost imagine their faint, sweet garden scent. Between them sit full, frilled carnations in muted dusty rose and purple-mauve tones, giving the arrangement a sumptuous, cushioned feel, as if each blossom is gently resting against the next. Shooting up through this softness, slender Veronica spikes in deep lavender-blue add a painterly vertical line, their delicate florets forming graceful, tapering silhouettes that bring structure without ever feeling stiff. Scattered throughout, tiny aster-like flowers in pale lilac and periwinkle cluster together like a haze of wild blooms you might notice while walking through Grovelands Park, their soft yellow centres adding a sunny hint of warmth. Deeper purple lisianthus blooms are tucked in here and there, some bell-shaped and open, others in bud, helping to anchor the colour palette with a richer note. Around and between the flowers, vibrant greenery provides a lively frame: sprigs of bright chartreuse filler and fresh, mid-green and eucalyptus foliage weave together to create a textured, natural base. The stems are clearly visible beneath, gathered neatly in a classic hand-tied style, ready for a vase on a dining table in a Southgate home. This detailed image captures a bouquet that feels contemporary yet romantic, perfect for marking meaningful moments, from milestone birthdays to a quiet thank you delivered locally the same day.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
Imagine stepping into a Southgate morning where sunshine spills over the market on Chase Side-this bouquet captures that golden promise. Dominant sunflowers reach outward, their flame-tipped petals and velvety brown centres glowing with warmth and optimism, surrounded by a gentle halo of buttery yellow roses opening in soft, spiral layers. Pops of scarlet Hypericum berries nestle here and there, reminiscent of the vibrant fruits sold in local stalls, playfully glinting amid delicate greens. Fern fronds add a feathery softness, their airy motion evoking breezes drifting through Oakwood Park. Eucalyptus sends cool sage accents through the arrangement, mingling their clean scent with the faint perfume of fresh-cut roses. All this beauty is anchored by a clear, rounded vase that captures the tangle of verdant stems and shimmering water below-a clear window into the bouquet's lively architecture. Each element whispers of Southgate's blend of urban charm and leafy tranquillity. Whether delivered as a bright gesture to a friend or placed at the heart of a family table, this bouquet embodies togetherness, comfort, and the rejuvenating power of floral artistry from Southgate Florist.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
Capturing the exuberance of a spring day in Southgate, this vibrant Gerbera bouquet arranges radiant yellow, orange, and fuchsia blooms within a clear glass vase, their cheerful faces turned outward like smiles to passersby on Chase Side. Each bloom features the classic dark central eye, setting off the saturated colour of the surrounding petals. Amidst the blossoms, glossy deep green leaves provide a lush backdrop, giving the arrangement fullness and lively contrast-much like the leafy avenues leading toward Oakwood. Carefully wrapped in rustic brown kraft paper and a second protective cocoon of glistening cellophane, the bouquet's presentation hints at artisan care while ensuring each stem stays pristine. The clear vase cradles the stems in fresh water, visible from every angle and lending a modern yet timeless elegance to the ensemble. Tied with a band of soft, natural twine, a simple gift tag dangles beside the stems, graced with a delicate red rose illustration and partially hidden print, quietly promising quality and a personal touch. This image radiates a mood of celebration and optimism, perfect for bringing light to a busy Southgate home or marking a special occasion with a burst of living colour. Its expertly balanced hues, tactile layers, and professional composition evoke gratitude, affection, and festive anticipation-a testament to the area's tradition of thoughtful gifting and local beauty.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
This luxuriant bouquet of roses, glowing with shades of coral, peach, and deep pink, captures the artistry and warmth found in Southgate's community florists. Each bloom is meticulously chosen for its vibrant, bicolored petals that seamlessly blend creamy yellow and blushing pink, giving the bouquet a sense of depth and vitality much like a sunset over Broomfield Park. Velvety soft, the petals catch the light, inviting both admiration and touch, while glossy dark greenery artfully encircles the floral centre-enhancing each rose's brilliance without distraction. Presented alongside the bouquet, a Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolate pouch adds an irresistible note of gourmet indulgence. Its light beige wrapper, emblazoned with the Thorntons insignia, speaks of heritage, while the bold "ORANGE CRISP" lettering and tantalising truffle illustration promise a treat just as memorable as the flowers themselves. Two unwrapped, glossy chocolates nestle in front-suggesting that moment of sweet delight waiting to be shared. The hand-tied stems crystalise the skill and personal touch so valued at Southgate Florist. This thoughtfully curated set brings together textures, colours, and flavours to mark joyous milestones or offer comforting words-a celebration of Southgate's tradition for meaningful, heartfelt gifting, ready for swift local delivery around Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill, or anywhere sentiments need to bloom.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
This lush bouquet, arranged by Southgate Florist for delivery across Southgate and Oakwood, unfolds like a harmonious tapestry of vibrant blooms. At its centre, majestic hydrangeas in shades of deep indigo and soft teal provide a cool, dramatic focal point, their intricate petals evoking the quiet beauty of Southgate's local gardens after a summer rainfall. Exquisite roses in soft lilac and classic creamy white nestle within, their delicate spirals a nod to enduring romance and grace. White ranunculus, dense with gently ruffled petals, cluster together in soft domes, paired beautifully with buttery eustoma buds and pale yellow lisianthus, whose slender forms lend elegance and lightness to the bouquet. Tracing between these are sprays of electrifying fuchsia filler flowers, weaving through like ribbons of colour, and wisps of pink astilbe that dance lightly around the perimeter, adding both movement and a whimsical charm. The bouquet is intricately layered, further textured by airy, lacy Ammi Majus-style greenery-softening the transitions and lending subtle, natural fullness akin to a walk through Broomfield Park. Densely packed yet naturally arranged, the stems are bound together and accented by a sheeny purple satin ribbon that harmonises beautifully with the cool floral hues. This bouquet exudes a sense of heartfelt luxury and gentle celebration, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or marking a cherished milestone-each detail carefully chosen by our experienced Southgate florists to capture both artistry and a sense of community belonging.
