CHEAP FLOWERS
A generously packed, rounded bouquet sits centre stage against a bright white background, every colour and petal sharply defined as though lit by clear New Southgate daylight streaming through a front-room window. Several striking bi-colour roses immediately command attention, their petals melting from sunny yellow hearts through glowing orange mid-tones to a whisper of reddish-orange at the tips, like a series of small sunsets held in your hand. These are interlaced with dainty white daisy-style chrysanthemums, each bloom displaying a glowing lime-green centre that feels crisp and invigorating, echoing the fresh greens you might see around Arnos Grove or along nearby residential streets in early spring. Deep magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums cluster in between, their compact, many-layered petals and yellow-green eyes adding velvety texture and rich colour contrast, grounding the brighter hues. Dark, polished greenery pokes out here and there, framing the flowers and giving the arrangement a sense of depth and movement, as if the bouquet were just turned on a florist's workbench in a New Southgate shop moments before the photograph was taken. At the base, a tidy bundle of cut stems fans out slightly, reinforcing the impression of a carefully hand-tied gift, ready for same-day delivery to homes and offices around New Southgate. The bouquet radiates happiness and appreciation, perfectly suited for celebrations, congratulations, or simply sending a warm, uplifting message across North London without saying a word.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
Soft morning light bathes a loosely gathered bouquet that feels as if it were just cut from an English-style garden. The dominant story here is the pale blush roses - full-headed, petal-soft blooms that read as both romantic and quietly refined - set against a backdrop of textured greens and delicate white accents. Silvery-blue eucalyptus leaves provide a cool, muted counterpoint and spread outward like a soft halo, while clusters of white berries, perhaps snowberry or hypericum, give bright, tactile pops that catch the eye. Interspersed throughout are tiny white filler flowers, possibly waxflower or astrantia, which lend an airy, botanical spritz to the composition, alongside a few deeper pink or burgundy buds that anchor the palette with subtle shadow. Slender, upright flower spikes peek through at the edges, introducing a graceful vertical rhythm. The bouquet is hand-tied with the stems wrapped in a smooth cream ribbon, conveying the careful finishing touch of an experienced florist. Texturally, the piece balances velvet, wax, and cool foliage - each element chosen to invite both sight and touch. In a domestic setting the arrangement radiates calm and understated joy, perfect for welcoming a new home, sending warm congratulations, or lifting someone's spirits across New Southgate and neighbouring Brunswick Park. The image captures the bouquet in flattering diffuse light, enhancing the delicate hues and emphasizing the thoughtful craftsmanship of a locally curated florist's choice.
FLORIST CHOICE £50
£50.00
I arranged this bouquet with the aim of pairing classic romance and lively cheer for homes around New Southgate, Friern Barnet and the high street near New Southgate station. The composition opens with creamy white roses, their tightly furled centers gradually unfurling into layered, petal-soft spirals that suggest a restrained, fragrant elegance. Interspersed generously are vivid purple-pink Gerbera daisies whose bold, almost fuchsia faces bring an exuberant pulse to the design; each gerbera's dense ring of petals radiates from a darker, intricate disc, creating joyful contrast. Sprays of deep purple Alstroemeria echo the gerberas' tones while offering a lighter, fluttering movement - their trumpet-formed petals often bear fine speckles and streaks that add an artisanal, hand-painted detail. Lush greenery, a mix of broad and narrow leaves with subtle variegation, frames the bouquet and sculpts a full, rounded silhouette, the foliage catching soft light and producing a lively interplay of light and shadow. A hint of a clear glass vase at the bottom anchors the arrangement and allows the stems to breathe. As a locally based designer at Florist New Southgate, I think of this arrangement as perfect for bringing brightness to a community celebration, an anniversary tea in Brunswick Park, or a thoughtful delivery to lift someone's day; it reads as fresh, expertly balanced and quietly fragrant, with colours that pop against the crisp white background.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
Presented on a clean white background, this "Mum to Be" bouquet radiates warmth and celebration, the kind of floral surprise you could imagine being delivered to a townhouse near New Southgate station. Dominating the design are eye-catching fuchsia pink gerbera daisies, their daisy-like faces composed of many fine petals circling richly dark centres that lend the arrangement a confident, cheerful energy. Between the gerberas, pastel pink roses are tucked in carefully, some tightly furled, others opening into layered, velvety blossoms that convey softness and affection. Tiny clusters of purple filler flowers, likely statice, weave through the arrangement, their slightly papery texture and gentle lavender shades providing nuanced contrast against the fuller, smoother petals of the main blooms. Fresh green foliage rises and curves around the flowers, a mix of narrow leaves and broader, more polished greens that give the bouquet a full, rounded silhouette, reminiscent of the lush planting in local gardens bordering Brunswick Park. The stems are gathered firmly and wrapped in several layers of pink tissue paper, creating a ruffled collar effect, then finished with a clear, glossy cellophane that adds a subtle sheen and reinforces the bouquet's gift-ready appearance. Resting against the lower part of the bouquet is a small round foil balloon in a joyful, bright pink tone. It is decorated with crisp white polka dots and inscribed with "Mum to Be!" in elegant white script. Just below the wording, a tiny pink heart nestles inside a larger white heart, symbolising mother and baby. The overall feeling is one of tenderness and excitement, captured in a single arrangement designed to mark baby showers, gender reveals, or intimate family celebrations around New Southgate.
MUM TO BE
£60.00
This upright bouquet celebrates the quiet elegance of white on green with the kind of attention only a neighbourhood florist can bring. A voluminous cluster of pristine white chrysanthemums - their narrow petals arranged around warm yellow centres - forms the bouquet's optimistic core, while a handful of elongated, pale green-yellow lily buds rise through the massing of daisies, their subtle striping and closed forms suggesting the gentle anticipation of blooms to come. Sprays of tiny white baby's breath (Gypsophila) are woven throughout, lending an almost cloud-like softness that contrasts with the darker, waxy foliage and broad leaves at the base. The hand-gathered stems are wrapped in rustic crinkled kraft paper for texture, then swathed in clear cellophane to protect the petals and allow the composition to breathe; the wrapping is gathered and tied to create a neat, portable base. The visual balance and tactile contrasts - crisp whites, verdant greens, rough paper against sleek cellophane - create a bouquet that reads as both timeless and freshly made. The scent is subtle and clean, with a faint, grassy note that evokes early-morning deliveries to local doorsteps. Crafted with neighbourhood care and experience, this arrangement would suit many occasions: a modest wedding posy, a serene sympathy tribute, a get-well reminder, or a thoughtful congratulations. Available for local delivery across New Southgate and nearby streets such as those around Arnos Grove and Palmers Green, it captures a gentle, earnest sentiment from a familiar corner of the community.
PURE ELEGANCE
£65.00
This image shows a luxuriant, rounded bouquet overflowing from a simple white square box, all set against a clean white background that lets the colours shine. The flowers form a dense, dome-like canopy composed of sunny yellows, cool whites, and vivid fuchsia shades, supported by a halo of deep green foliage. Dominating the design are large yellow chrysanthemums, their many-petalled heads soft and full, partnered with clusters of small yellow spray roses that vary from tight buds to gently opening blooms. Among them, white daisy chrysanthemums with bright green centres add a fresh, uncomplicated charm, while larger white blooms contribute extra volume and help balance the stronger colours. Threaded throughout the arrangement are rich fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums, whose velvety petals lend depth and a slightly dramatic note, occasionally blending into softer pink tones to soften the contrasts. Tiny pink and yellow rosebuds appear here and there like delicate highlights, giving the bouquet a sense of abundance and care. Around the base and peeking between the flowers, glossy, dark green leaves frame the display, their smooth surfaces catching the light and emphasising the brightness of the petals. The white cube box is modern and understated, functioning as both container and gift wrap, the kind of design that would sit neatly on a coffee table in a New Southgate flat or on a windowsill near Brunswick Park. The overall feel is of a joyful, professionally arranged bouquet that could be delivered the same day around New Southgate, perfect for lifting someone's spirits, marking a modest celebration, or offering a colourful "thinking of you" gesture within the local community.
SPARKLING EYES
£50.00
The image presents a lush chrysanthemum bouquet, set against a bright white background that makes its soothing palette of whites and greens appear especially crisp and fresh. The florals are gathered into a compact, rounded shape, tightly clustered so that the entire surface seems to be a rolling field of petals. Dominating the bouquet are medium-sized chrysanthemum heads in tones of pure white and soft cream, their petals layered in gentle curves and catching subtle highlights as though under soft indoor lighting. Around them, sprays of smaller chrysanthemum blooms fill in every space, each one a miniature white daisy with a pale green centre, lending the arrangement a light, cloud-like softness. Punctuating this gentle base are vivid lime-green pompon chrysanthemums, also known locally as button mums, whose small, perfectly round heads and finely packed petals create a modern, almost sculptural effect. Their sharp green hue recalls the fresh, open feel of nearby Arnos Park or the tree-filled gardens that characterise many New Southgate homes. Deep green leaves are tucked artfully between the flowers, providing contrast and definition without overpowering the delicate palette. The long stems gather neatly at the bottom, bound together with a wide satin ribbon in vibrant lime green, tied into a generous bow whose smooth loops rest gracefully against the stems. The ribbon's sheen catches the light, echoing the pompons' vitality and giving the design a sense of occasion. This bouquet radiates gentle optimism and quiet elegance, ideal for celebrating a new baby, sending a get-well wish to someone near New Southgate station, or simply brightening a hallway with a fresh, modern floral accent.
