CHEAP FLOWERS
A vibrant mixed bouquet fills the frame, photographed straight on against a clean white backdrop so that every petal and leaf is sharply defined. The composition forms a generous dome, dense with flowers that seem freshly gathered from a skilled St Mary Cray florist's workbench. At the heart of the design sit several striking roses, each one a small work of art: their centres glow with bright golden yellow, melting smoothly into richer orange tones and finishing with subtle reddish-orange notes along the edges, creating a warm, flame-like effect. Threaded between these roses are crisp, white daisy chrysanthemums, each bloom featuring a perfectly round lime-green centre that adds a cool, zesty contrast to the warmer hues. Nestled among them are clusters of small magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, their tightly layered petals giving a plush, almost velvety texture, and their yellow-green centres subtly echo the daisy eyes. Dark, glossy greenery breaks up the colour blocks, with slender leaves that provide structure and a natural, garden-like softness, like something you might see in a well-kept front garden off St Mary Cray's side streets. The bouquet's stems are gathered into a tidy bundle at the bottom, showing shades of fresh green and light brown, clearly hand-tied and cut cleanly for immediate placing into water. The lighting is even and bright, accentuating the interplay of sunny yellows, fiery oranges, clean whites, and rich magentas. This arrangement radiates happiness and gratitude, perfectly suited for birthdays, anniversaries, or same-day delivery to a friend or family member in St Mary Cray who could use a burst of uplifting colour.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
This elegant hand-tied bouquet feels as though it was just gathered from a cool, early-morning cutting patch near the River Cray. The composition centers on soft blush roses, their layered petals forming gentle domes that invite a fingertip to trace their velvet surfaces. Interspersed among them are tight clusters of bright white berries that catch the eye and add a crisp, festive note, while sprays of diminutive white blooms - likeliest waxflower or astrantia - drift through the arrangement like airborne confetti. Eucalyptus leaves in dusty blue-green sweep around the roses, their rounded shapes and faint silver bloom providing contrast and a calming fragrance that balances the sweetness of the roses. Narrow, upright flower spikes on the sides give the bouquet a relaxed verticality, echoing the spontaneity of garden picking. The stems are thoughtfully bound with a creamy satin ribbon; the knot and trimmed stems suggest careful hand-finishing. Photographed in soft daylight against an ornate pale carved backdrop, the picture conveys a timeless, homey elegance that suits a milestone birthday, a small anniversary, or a 'just because' surprise. A minimalist white frame overlays the image, with the words "Florist Choice" and a clear price of £50, indicating a curated seasonal selection. Prepared with attention to scent, texture, and seasonal freshness, this bouquet is exactly the kind of comforting, beautiful arrangement customers in St Mary Cray and neighbouring St Paul's Cray ask for when they want something effortlessly refined.
FLORIST CHOICE £50
£50.00
I arranged this bouquet to marry classic elegance with a vivid pop of colour, photographed crisply against a pure white background so every texture and hue reads clearly. At its heart are creamy white roses, their petals tightly spiralled and then gently unfurling, offering a timeless softness and a faint, comforting fragrance. Punctuating that calm are vivid purple-pink Gerbera daisies - bold, fuchsia faces whose concentric petals radiate energy and good cheer. Threaded throughout are deep purple Alstroemeria (Peruvian lilies) with subtle speckles and slender trumpet-like petals that introduce a lively, almost fluttering motion among the larger blooms. Glossy, layered foliage, including broad leaves and some lighter-variegated stems, builds a rich, green backdrop that enhances the flowers' saturation and gives the bouquet a full, rounded profile. A clear glass vase peeks in at the bottom, suggesting cool water and professional care. The photography's bright, even lighting makes the magenta and cream read as both modern and tender; the arrangement feels right for a celebratory table, a heartfelt thank-you, or as sympathy flowers with an uplifting personality. As a local florist serving St Mary Cray and neighbouring Orpington, St Mary Cray Florist crafts pieces like this for delivery across the Cray Valley - it travels well, arriving fresh to sit on a mantelpiece or dining table and to lend warmth to everyday moments or special occasions.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
Set against a simple white backdrop, this maternity celebration bouquet feels like a bright burst of happiness ready to be delivered across St Mary Cray and the surrounding Orpington area. Dominating the arrangement are bold fuchsia gerbera daisies, each flower presenting a dark central eye surrounded by a ring of neatly formed petals that overlap in layers, almost like a cheerful sunburst. Between these statement blooms, you can sense the softness of pastel pink roses, some still tightly wrapped in promise, others beginning to open to reveal the intricate spirals at their core, with a gentle, powdery fragrance implied in every petal. Small sprays of delicate purple filler flowers weave through the bouquet, lending a hint of wild, meadow-like charm and an extra dimension of colour. Lush greenery, in varying textures from streamlined, pointed leaves to deeper, broader foliage, cradles the pink blossoms and gives the bouquet a full, rounded silhouette, reminiscent of a lovingly shaped hand-tied design prepared in a trusted local shop. The stems gather neatly at the base, wrapped in several layers of tissue paper from pale blush to brighter pink, with the semi-transparent paper forming soft, fluttering folds that add volume and femininity. An outer layer of glossy cellophane gently reflects the light, capturing the sense of anticipation around a new arrival. Anchored in front, a round fuchsia balloon trimmed with a scalloped edge is printed with crisp white polka dots and the words "Mum to Be!" in flowing white script. A small heart motif, a white outline encasing a solid pink heart, nestles between the words, turning this bouquet and balloon pairing into a heartfelt tribute for baby showers, gender reveal gatherings, or quiet at-home celebrations in St Mary Cray.
MUM TO BE
£60.00
Pristine white flowers arranged with thoughtful restraint, captured upright against a simple white background so every detail is visible. At the heart of the bouquet a generous grouping of white chrysanthemum blooms, each with layers of narrow petals radiating from warm yellow centres, creates a classic, optimistic focal point. Among them, graceful pale green lily buds sit elongated and slightly striped, promising the drama of future opening blooms and introducing a refined vertical rhythm to the shape. Scattered through the composition are delicate sprays of baby's breath (Gypsophila), their tiny white points like soft breath that fill gaps and lend a light, cloud-like softness to the stronger forms. Dark green foliage offers a lush contrast, its deep tones and broad leaves giving structure and depth to the white palette. The bouquet is hand-tied and wrapped in a tactile two-layer finish: an inner sheet of crinkled brown kraft paper for rustic warmth, then a protective clear cellophane wrap that catches the light and keeps stems safe; the wrapping is gathered and secured at the base to form a neat, portable stand. The scent is subtle and fresh-clean florals with a hint of green cut stems-evoking an early-morning market stall on St Mary Cray High Street. As prepared by St Mary Cray Florist, this arrangement reads as a gesture of purity and calm, suitable for celebrations, get-well wishes, or quiet remembrance, and reflects local floristry skill familiar to customers around Orpington and St Paul's Cray.
PURE ELEGANCE
£65.00
A generous mixed bouquet rises confidently from a simple white cube box, standing alone against a bright white background as though displayed in the window of a St Mary Cray florist. The flowers are arranged in a rounded, dome-like shape, packed so densely that only occasional flashes of foliage and container are visible. Warm yellow tones lead the eye first: full-headed yellow chrysanthemums with velvety, finely cut petals create a soft cushion, while smaller clusters of yellow spray roses add shape and detail, some just starting to open, others still caught in tight buds. Interwoven among these are clusters of white daisy-style chrysanthemums, their green centres adding a fresh, almost lime-tinted sparkle, along with larger white chrysanthemums that give the composition a fluffy, cloud-like texture. Bold splashes of fuchsia and deep magenta chrysanthemums ripple through the design, their layered petals bringing depth and drama, with the odd paler pink bloom softening the palette. Tiny pink and yellow rosebuds are scattered like little secrets waiting to be discovered, giving the bouquet the feeling of something just gathered and expertly refined. Surrounding and supporting the flowers, polished dark green leaves curl and fan out, forming a natural frame that makes the bright colours stand out even more, much like flower beds catching the afternoon light near St Mary Cray's green spaces. The bouquet rests in a modern white square box that serves as both vase and gift box, its minimalist shape highlighting the lush, romantic mass of blooms above. The overall impression is of a joyful, uplifting arrangement, perfect for celebrating milestones, sending a cheerful get-well wish, or surprising someone at home or work in St Mary Cray with a burst of colour and freshness.
SPARKLING EYES
£50.00
A lush dome of chrysanthemums in white, cream, and fresh lime green fills the frame, set against a spotless white background that highlights every subtle shade and curve. At the heart of the bouquet, large-headed chrysanthemums unfold in layers of silky white and buttery cream, their petals radiating outward from soft green or pale yellow centres, giving the whole arrangement a cloud-like fullness. Between these main blooms, clusters of white spray chrysanthemums appear like tiny daisies, with multiple petite heads on each stem, weaving an airy lacework that softens the overall shape. Punctuating this calm palette are striking lime-green pompon chrysanthemums, perfectly round, tightly petalled, and almost velvety to look at, bringing a crisp, contemporary edge reminiscent of the fresh green spaces around St Mary Cray. Deep green leaves are tucked thoughtfully among the blossoms, offering contrast and structure without overpowering the flowers, the textures reminiscent of foliage seen on walks near local gardens and residential streets. The stems are carefully aligned and bound at the base with a wide lime-green satin ribbon, tied into an elegant, multi-looped bow whose sheen catches the light, adding a celebratory flourish. Illuminated with bright, even lighting, the bouquet appears freshly arranged, as though just finished on the workbench for swift delivery across St Mary Cray. The arrangement conveys a peaceful yet optimistic feeling, ideal as a get-well surprise, a calm and respectful tribute, or a sophisticated gift to mark a new home or milestone in the local area.
