RETIREMENT FLOWERS
A round, lavish bouquet is photographed against a clean white background, every stem placed with the kind of care you'd expect from a trusted New Eltham florist. Two luxurious deep red roses form the emotional centre of the design, their tightly layered petals curling inward like whispered promises of affection and loyalty. Surrounding them, a halo of white daisy-like chrysanthemums unfurls with calm simplicity, each flower's bright lime-green centre catching the light and adding a shot of freshness reminiscent of early walks through nearby Avery Hill Park. Interlaced amongst the whites are numerous daisy-style blooms in gentle shades of pink, from soft blush to more medium rosy tones, each again crowned with those distinctive, lively green hearts; together they suggest celebration, gratitude, and quiet happiness. Finely textured clusters of petite pale pink filler flowers, similar to waxflowers, are scattered throughout the bouquet, their tiny, almost star-shaped blossoms giving the arrangement a delicate, airy feel, like a soft floral mist. Glossy dark green leaves and lighter green foliage weave in between the blooms, framing the colours and giving depth and structure from every angle. At the base, the stems are bound tightly in a classic hand-tied style, their freshly cut ends aligned and ready for a vase on a kitchen table or windowsill in New Eltham. The careful balance of red, white, pink, and green creates a bouquet that feels both polished and natural, ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply sending a thoughtful message of care and connection to someone close by.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
A full, rounded bouquet of fresh mixed flowers fills the frame against a brilliant white background, every colour and texture clearly defined. Several large roses take centre stage, each bloom showcasing a gentle gradient from a sunny yellow heart out to amber, orange, and a whisper of reddish-orange along the outer petals, reminiscent of autumn evenings along Footscray Road in New Eltham. Nestled between them are plentiful white daisy chrysanthemums, their petals clean and smooth, circling neon-lime centres that seem to glow and add a lively contrast to the warmer tones. Deep magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums are scattered generously through the arrangement, their compact, multi-petalled heads providing a jewel-like richness, while their yellow-green cores tie them visually to the daisies. Around and between the flowers, dark, glossy green leaves curve gracefully, softening the transitions between colours and giving the bouquet a naturally lush outline. The stems are tightly bound at the bottom, visible against the white surface, showing a careful, professional hand-tied finish that a New Eltham florist might create for same-day delivery. The lighting is even and bright, with no harsh shadows, so the bouquet appears almost to float, letting the eye move smoothly from one bloom to the next. This composition feels alive with joy and appreciation, the kind of mixed bouquet you might send to celebrate a new home near Avery Hill or to light up a quiet living room on a grey South East London day. It conveys warmth, gratitude, and cheerful celebration in a single, vibrant armful of flowers.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
Captured in soft light, this exuberant floral bouquet evokes a sense of cheer and artistry unique to New Eltham, lovingly arranged and ready for thoughtful gifting. The star attraction is a group of plush roses that echo sunset tones-soft peach and radiant orange-that seem to warm the bouquet from within, embodying the gentle vibrancy found along New Eltham's tranquil avenues. Intertwined in the arrangement, clusters of white chrysanthemums with bright green eye-catching centers are reminiscent of the classic daisy, while others delight in shades of deep magenta and purple, their fine petals crowning vivid lime-green discs-a palette echoing the colors of flowers in local parks. All of this lively colour is grounded by an abundance of glossy, dark green broad leaves that cradle the blooms, adding fullness and balancing the light and energy above. Above the arrangement, a slender curl of bear grass softly arcs, its gentle presence adding a breath of freshness and playfulness to the display. At the base, lively crinkled orange wrapping secures the bouquet, intensifying both color and presentation, and suggesting a well-chosen, heartfelt gift ready to bring a burst of joy to any New Eltham doorstep. Whether meant for a milestone celebration, a simple expression of gratitude, or to light up a beloved home near Riefield Road, this bouquet stands as both an artful creation and a beacon of thoughtful connection.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
A softly rounded bouquet of white and green chrysanthemums, captured against a spotless white background, looks as though it has just been finished on the bench at Florist New Eltham. The main body of the bouquet is composed of full-headed chrysanthemums in soft white and delicate cream, each bloom layered with many fine petals that spread outwards from gentle pale green or light yellow centres. Intermingled among the larger flowers are sprays of smaller, daisy-like chrysanthemums, whose simple white petals and neat centres bring a sense of lightness and informality, as if they had been gathered from a local garden. Throughout the bouquet, clusters of lime green pompon chrysanthemums catch the eye; their tightly packed, spherical forms and vivid colour give the arrangement a contemporary edge and a lively, almost sparkling character. Deep green foliage is tucked expertly between the blooms, adding structure and creating a natural frame that recalls the leafy paths around New Eltham's parks and tree-lined avenues. At the base, the stems are cleanly cut, gathered together in a tight, hand-tied bunch and wrapped with a smooth, satin ribbon in bright lime green, fashioned into a multi-looped bow that mirrors the playful button mums above. The overall palette of white, cream, and green has a quietly uplifting effect, suggesting renewal, gratitude, and gentle optimism. It is easy to imagine this bouquet resting on a kitchen table in a New Eltham terraced house, offering a tranquil focal point, or being carried along Footscray Road on the way to a birthday, new home celebration, or as a thoughtful way to say "we're thinking of you" during more reflective times.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
Against a clean, brilliant white background, a full and cheerful bouquet of mixed flowers appears as though it has just been set down on a New Eltham kitchen table, ready to surprise someone special. The arrangement is dominated by several large, fully opened roses in soft cream and pale yellow, their velvety petals spiralling inward with graceful precision, creating a romantic focal point. Radiating out from these central roses are generous clusters of chrysanthemums in vivid fuchsia and magenta hues, each blossom bearing a bright yellow or yellow-green centre that resembles a tiny sun, injecting the bouquet with playful brightness. The chrysanthemum petals are slightly tousled and daisy-like, creating a sense of movement and informal charm. Scattered through the main flowers are fine, branching stems of small white daisies or feverfew, each tiny bloom with crisp white petals and a neatly defined golden centre, adding a light, airy touch reminiscent of wildflower borders near local paths leading towards New Eltham station. Here and there, darker purple-pink chrysanthemum buds nestle between the open flowers, contributing depth and subtle shadow. A base of rich green foliage supports and frames the arrangement, its leaves glossy and shaped to cradle the blooms, giving the bouquet a rounded, well-balanced silhouette. At the base, all the stems are drawn together and wrapped tightly with a green and white gingham ribbon, the checkered pattern adding a charmingly rustic detail. The bright, even lighting enhances the colours and textures without harsh shadows, making the bouquet feel fresh, joyful, and ideal for local delivery across New Eltham for birthdays, housewarmings, or simple everyday gestures of appreciation.

MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A hand-tied hydrangea bouquet is captured in crisp detail against a pure white background, evoking the feeling of a cool, breezy day wandering the leafy streets of New Eltham. At the centre, a plush, cloud-like head of creamy white hydrangea rises proudly, its tightly packed petals forming a smooth, rounded dome. This central bloom is encircled by several large clusters of sky-blue hydrangeas, each floret softly shaded to create gentle gradients of blue that feel soothing and restful, like early evening light over Avery Hill fields. Scattered among them, lime-green hydrangeas introduce a vivid, uplifting twist of colour, their almost neon chartreuse tones suggesting fresh buds and new beginnings. A generous mix of greenery surrounds and threads through the hydrangeas. Silvery eucalyptus, with its round, slightly dusty-looking leaves, gives the bouquet a modern, airy character, while deeper emerald foliage with a glossy finish adds substance and a rich counterpoint to the pastels. The bouquet forms a perfectly rounded silhouette, and at the base, the stems are drawn together and tied, the straight green lines visible and slightly fanning out to signal its hand-crafted nature. The clean white backdrop eliminates distractions, allowing the viewer to focus on the interplay of colours and textures-the velvety petals, smooth leaves, and soft shadows. This arrangement emits a gentle, peaceful energy that would suit a New Eltham living room, a quiet celebration near Footscray Road, or a thoughtful same-day delivery from Florist New Eltham to someone needing a moment of calm and beauty.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
A vibrant mixed bouquet stands out clearly against a pure white backdrop, its tidy yet abundant shape suggesting the work of an experienced New Eltham florist. Central to the design are several large pink roses, their petals unfolding in smooth layers that create a soft, romantic core. Nestled around them, bright yellow gerbera daisies with chocolate-brown centres add energy and warmth, their open, circular faces giving the arrangement a welcoming, optimistic character. Stretching above this central cluster, graceful spikes of rich blue delphiniums introduce contrasting cool tones and vertical structure, each stem lined with delicate florets that catch the light and evoke memories of cottage gardens around local streets near New Eltham Station. The bouquet is framed and filled by an array of greenery: fine, feathery fern fronds that create a light, airy edge; rounded tufts of bright green filler that bring volume and a soft, cushion-like texture; and larger dark green leaves that provide a steady, grounding backdrop. Around the base of the flower heads, wide tropical-style leaves are wrapped in smooth, overlapping curves, some gently striped in paler greens, forming a chic botanical collar that both supports and decorates the composition. Beneath this, the natural stems are left visible, neatly gathered and bound with pale, textured paper or fabric, their ends aligned to emphasise freshness and craftsmanship. Gentle, even lighting highlights the interplay between the velvety rose petals, the structured gerbera centres, and the glossy leaves. Overall, the bouquet feels joyful yet composed, perfect for celebrating milestones, brightening a living room near Avery Hill, or sending thoughtful congratulations to someone special in New Eltham.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
Set against a bright, uncluttered white backdrop, this hand-tied bouquet appears as though it has just been lifted from a New Eltham workbench, the stems still freshly cut and aligned. At the centre, full garden roses in soft blush pink, dusty mauve, and antique rose shades unfold their spiralling petals with a classic, romantic calm, catching subtle highlights that suggest gentle daylight filtering through a nearby window on Green Lane. Surrounding them, abundant ruffled carnations expand the bouquet's volume, their creamy, almost beige centres melting into blush and ending in deeper fuchsia-pink and plum edges, each petal gently waved to create a soft, billowing effect. Deep indigo buds, tidy and sleek, tuck between these larger blooms, setting up a bold counterpoint for the single open royal blue anemone with its nearly black heart, positioned near the lower edge as a striking focal point. Slim stems of pale lavender and lilac stock rise vertically through the composition, each lined with tiny blossoms that bring airiness and delicate texture, as if carrying a faint, soothing fragrance through a quiet New Eltham home. Around the blooms, lush foliage in differing greens completes the design: glossy darker leaves create depth, while round eucalyptus leaves in silvery green weave through the arrangement, adding cool tonality and a hint of crisp scent. The stems are gathered neatly at the bottom, clearly hand-tied and ready to be delivered along Footscray Road or toward Mottingham for a birthday, a heartfelt thank-you, or a comforting gesture that brings colour and calm into everyday life.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
As the blossoms come together in this bouquet, there's a sense of bright optimism that echoes the atmosphere of New Eltham's tree-lined streets. The interplay between the soft blush gerberas and classic pink roses creates a visual sonnet-gentle shades of pink blend seamlessly, their effect reminiscent of watercolour art in a sun-dappled studio. Rich purple statice offers delightful punctuation marks, emerging through the petals with vibrant energy, just as the vibrant community spirit of Avery Hill or Footscray Road weaves through neighbourhood life. Cool, dewy green leaves provide a lush grounding, framing the arrangement and bringing freshness reminiscent of a morning stroll through local gardens. The bouquet rests in a simple, elegant glass vase, allowing the stems and clear water to remain visible-a testament to its freshness and careful assembly. Soft daylight from a nearby window highlights the palette, casting a gentle glow that invites anyone nearby to pause and take in its serenity. Whether destined for a get-well gift, joyful congratulations, or an elegant accent in a New Eltham living room, this arrangement from Florist New Eltham represents true artistry, attention to detail, and the enduring joy found in flowers.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
Against a clean, white studio background, this meticulously arranged hand-tied bouquet showcases the artistry of a New Eltham florist, blending pink, mauve and purple blooms with lush greenery in a rounded, abundant shape. At the heart of the design, soft pastel roses draw the eye, their petals unfolding in graceful spirals. Some blooms remain cupped and shy, while others are more fully open, revealing detailed centres where the colour deepens to a gentle blush before fading to lighter, almost cream-touched edges. Nestled closely around them are plump, heavily ruffled carnations in dusty rose and muted mauve, the countless frilled petals creating a pillowy texture that lends the bouquet an inviting, tactile richness. Breaking the gentle curves are vertical stems of deep lavender-blue Veronica, their slim, pointed spikes rising confidently above the rounded flowers and giving the bouquet an elegant, contemporary outline, much like the stylish homes that line the streets near New Eltham station. Darker purple lisianthus blooms are tucked delicately between the roses and carnations, their bell-shaped petals offering a velvety, saturated contrast. Threaded throughout are light sprays of aster-like flowers in soft lavender and periwinkle, each small daisy centred with yellow, adding a sense of movement and a soft, hazy lightness. Around and beneath the blossoms, a mix of fresh foliage frames the colours: silvery eucalyptus leaves curve outwards, and clusters of almost chartreuse-green filler plants provide a lively, energetic jolt of brightness. The green stems, trimmed and gathered neatly at the base, clearly show the bouquet's hand-tied construction. This arrangement feels refined yet welcoming, perfectly suited to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, or quiet milestones, and ideal for same-day flower delivery across New Eltham, Mottingham and the wider SE9 area.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
Picture this bouquet as a snapshot of New Eltham's late summer-sunflowers bloom brilliantly, their bold yellow-gold petals framing deep brown centers reminiscent of sunlit days in local parks. Nestled alongside, plush yellow garden roses spiral open, their texture sumptuous and their scent delicate, hinting at freshly bloomed gardens on Footscray Road. Red Hypericum berries bob throughout the arrangement, looking like cheerful confetti scattered at a community celebration. Cascading ferns and airy goldenrod fill out the bouquet, adding natural grace while slender, cool-hued eucalyptus leaves subtly peek through, infusing a woodland edge. The bouquet rests in a crystal-clear, spherical glass vase-its rounded profile and visible green stems echo the open, welcoming atmosphere of New Eltham's neighbourhood streets. Light streams over the composition, throwing gentle shadows and enhancing each colour's vibrancy. Whether set as a centrepiece or arriving as a joyful delivery, this arrangement embodies friendship, optimism, and the artistry of local florists.

SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
In this vibrant arrangement, a gathering of Gerbera daisies takes center stage-each bloom a testament to the joyful spirit of New Eltham. Bathed in gentle daylight, the bouquet fuses brilliant yellow, fiery orange, and rich fuchsia tones, every flower displaying its signature dark heart and elegantly fanned petals. The interplay of these bold colors creates a sense of movement and life, much like the bustling high street or the tranquil pace of butterfly-filled gardens at nearby Eltham Park South. Fresh, deep-green foliage nestles among the daisies, offering tactile contrast and evoking the area's leafy character. The bouquet is thoughtfully wrapped in light brown kraft paper for an earthy, honest vibe, then encased in a protective sheath of glossy cellophane that hints at the careful attention given to each delivery. Resting in a clean, clear glass vase, the stems show through, submerged in clear water to ensure lasting freshness for recipients from New Eltham to Mottingham. A rustic twine bow encircles the base, its rough, natural texture matched by a small hanging tag adorned with a gentle floral motif-a subtle, welcoming detail. Together, the design expresses appreciation, joy, and the handcrafted excellence found at Florist New Eltham, perfect for gifting during birthdays or as an uplifting gesture to brighten everyday moments in SE9.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
Crafted with the expertise of a New Eltham florist, this exquisite gift set weaves together colour, texture, and sentiment in a way that feels both personal and timeless. The radiant bouquet shows off roses in every stage of bloom, their petals glowing with the tones of a late summer sunset: coral, peach, and salmon blending into dusty pinks, highlighted by creamy yellow just at the core. The surrounding foliage-deep green and lush, perhaps eucalyptus plucked fresh from a nearby market-lends a gentle structure, ensuring the vibrant flowers command the eye. In the lower left, a rectangular Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolate pouch sits upright, light beige with the classic Thorntons logo and evocative artwork promising "Tangy orange flavoured truffle with crispy wafer, coated in milk chocolate." In front, two real milk chocolate truffles, smooth and glossy, offer the irresistible allure of indulgence, their presence further enriching this sensory celebration. The image, set against a pure white background, evokes a sense of anticipation and festivity-perfect for celebrating birthdays in local homes or anniversaries close to Bexley Road.
