Summer Collection
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.

Each blossom captures the gentle morning light, their pastel pinks creating a soothing canvas reminiscent of peaceful mornings near St Mary Cray's green spaces. Vivid purple statice interject at intervals, like spontaneous laughter shared with friends in the local market, adding depth and intrigue to the overall composition.

Set into a slender vase, where clear water highlights the natural stems, the bouquet feels both weightless and abundant, radiating calm energy. This arrangement is ideal for conveying heartfelt wishes, whether as a cheering get well soon message or a beautiful addition to a contemporary St Mary Cray home.

Awash with vibrant hues, this hand-tied bouquet captures the jubilant spirit of a St Mary Cray morning-bright Gerbera daisies in sunlit yellow, tangerine orange, and rich magenta, each one perfectly positioned for visual harmony and emotional impact. The petals, soft under the gaze, encircle a deep brown center, creating a mesmerising contrast accentuated by the glossy, fresh green foliage woven throughout. The flowers are wrapped in a rustic layer of light brown kraft paper, lending the design an inviting, down-to-earth character that echoes the local charm of the High Street markets. Over this, a glossy sheath of clear cellophane adds a touch of modern refinement while protecting the delicate blossoms. The stems, visible through the beautifully clear glass vase, rest in freshly changed water, ensuring every petal remains vibrant even as the bouquet travels across St Mary Cray for a birthday surprise or a spontaneous gift. At the neck, a simple twine bow secures a modest white tag featuring a crimson rose illustration, suggesting thoughtful, artisan care. Light dapples the arrangement, enhancing the radiant colour palette and imbuing the bouquet with a sense of celebration-ideal for moments that call for gratitude or joy, from welcoming a neighbour to brightening a friend's day.
SUNNY GARDEN

This exuberant bouquet wears happiness like a promise: densely packed roses arranged in a soft, domed shape that feels both opulent and intimately personal. Large hybrid tea roses unfurl in satin layers while clusters of spray roses and younger buds weave depth and texture through the mass of colour. The palette is radiant - sunlit yellow roses beam optimism, creamy white blooms offer quiet elegance, and a spectrum of pinks from pale blush to electric fuchsia creates a lively, romantic chorus; some petals carry charming two-toned edges of pink and white. Deep burgundy and rich red accents nestle among the brighter tones, adding weight and a romantic undertone that balances the composition. Interspersed glossy greenery, likely ruscus or salal, frames each bloom with a dark verdant contrast that highlights petal translucence in the soft light. The gathered stems are finished with a wide red satin ribbon tied into a sculptural bow with long, flowing tails; a small white gift tag tucked into the ribbon bears the words "Happy Holidays," suggesting this piece was chosen for a seasonal celebration or affectionate greeting. Imagined scent is bright and slightly citrus, with the green snap of fresh leaves beneath the floral sweetness. Arranged with the practiced eye of a local florist, this bouquet evokes spring gardens and warm gatherings in the St Mary Cray neighbourhood - a thoughtful gift for anniversaries, Valentine's moments, or simply to say you're treasured.

Seen close-up, this bouquet feels like a carefully kept memory of a spring morning: deep pink roses, fully open and plush with velvety petals, create a warm, romantic heart to the arrangement, their layered curves catching a soft, diffused light. Interwoven among them, eager white lily buds sit upright and elegant - some closed like shy promises, others just starting to reveal smooth, ivory petals - their future perfume almost imaginable from the image. The supporting greenery is abundant and varied, from glossy, broad leaves that reflect pinpoints of light to delicate, lighter-green sprigs that add movement and airiness, making the colour pop and softening the bouquet's silhouette into a gentle dome. Small, darker reddish-brown filler buds or accent foliage are peppered through the depths, giving subtle contrast and textural richness without stealing the stage from rose and lily. The flowers are presented in a clear glass vase with a gently tapered base, the clean water and neatly arranged green stems visible through the glass and lending a sense of freshness and craft. The lighting is bright and clean, as one might find in a sunlit flat near St Mary Cray station or on a windowsill overlooking the Cray Valley, and the composition conveys both celebration and calm. As a floral piece, it balances romance and restraint - perfect for a birthday gift, a centrepiece at a small gathering, or simply to brighten a local Stoke or Orpington home with a touch of cultivated beauty.

Overflowing with colour and textured richness, the bouquet stands as a vivid symbol of celebration and connection for St Mary Cray residents. Lavender roses are the gentle heart of the design, their softly scented petals opening as if greeting the morning along local high streets. Framing the roses, playful, deep pink gerbera daisies with striking black centers add a touch of cheerful exuberance, drawing memories of springtime blooms in Priory Gardens. Interwoven throughout, smaller magenta and plum chrysanthemums cascade from the core, their busy clusters and yellow-green middles adding lively depth. Wisps of baby's breath float amid the boldness, softening the palette with airy clouds of white, while sleek green leaves bring a refreshing, earthy fragrance to the ensemble. The blooms are gathered in a crackled, clear vase, its texture catching the light like dewdrops after a St Mary Cray rain, finished with a simple raffia tie and an understated white gift tag. The mood is gently festive, perfect for delivering warmth and joy-perhaps for a milestone birthday or just to say 'I'm thinking of you' somewhere along Cray Avenue. Each element reflects the skilled touch and local heart that defines the work of St Mary Cray's dedicated florists.

A lush, emotive bouquet arranged in a tight, domed silhouette: large garden-style roses unfurl in layers of pastel blush and creamy ivory, while richer magenta-pink roses and a few pale lavender blossoms add vivid punctuation and delicate contrast. Scattered among the larger heads are sprays of petite white spray roses, their tiny clustered blooms offering a soft, dotted texture that makes the whole arrangement feel both opulent and intimately detailed. Deep green, glossy foliage - the kind of ruscus or salal we favour in the workshop - threads through the bouquet, its smooth leaves forming a dark, verdant stage that intensifies the rose colours and lends a natural fullness. The stems are bound securely at the base and finished with a wide, satin ribbon in a soft baby-pink hue, tied into a generous bow whose smooth, lustrous surface catches light and echoes the gentle sheen on the petals. The photograph's crisp white background isolates each element so the tactile contrasts - velvety petals, glossy leaves, and satiny ribbon - read clearly to the eye. As a florist I picture this held outside beneath a pale London sky, perhaps seen passing St Paul's Cray Park or the River Cray, its scent a faint, fresh rose note with green hints. It's a bouquet that reads as celebration and comfort at once - ideal for Mother's Day, an anniversary, or any moment when you want to offer warmth and sincere affection.
GLAMOUR
£67.00

A carefully composed bouquet photographed on a crisp white backdrop, centred on a single, regal creamy white oriental lily in full bloom whose pristine petals unfurl to reveal pale yellow stamens and a delicate green pistil. Surrounding this central bloom are numerous tightly closed and partially opening lily buds in shades of lime green and pale yellow, suggesting a progression of life and repeated moments of unfolding. Interwoven amid the lilies are deep red rosebuds and small roses with velvety petals still cupped inward, each one like a hidden note of devotion against the lily's serenity. The foliage is rich and varied: glossy, dark green leaves provide a solid, structured base; longer, arching palm fronds in a brighter emerald sweep around the bouquet, lending rhythm and gentle motion; and soft, rounded eucalyptus stems in a silvery-green hue give a muted contrast that cools the palette. The bouquet is held in a plain, cylindrical clear glass vase where the stems are visible through fresh water, reinforcing the arrangement's natural clarity. In my studio near St Mary Cray station I often arrange similar designs for neighbours and families travelling from Orpington or Petts Wood, and can imagine the lilies' heady scent mingling with the rose's deeper perfume in an airy hallway. Offered for local delivery, this bouquet reads both celebratory and composed - an elegant gift for birthdays, quiet congratulations, or moments when love and purity need to be expressed simply and beautifully. - St Mary Cray Florist

An abundant, hand-arranged cluster of about twenty-four pink roses sits poised in a clear, gently curved glass vase, a composition I would happily prepare for a customer collecting from St Mary Cray station. Each bloom exhibits a compelling colour journey: deep magenta or fuchsia gathered at the tight spiral of the centre, moving outward to softer, petal-tip blushes and occasional creamy-white edges that catch the light. The roses are packed closely to form a rounded, almost dome-like crown, their layers of velvety petals creating a tactile richness you can almost feel. Shiny, deep green leaves emerge from beneath the mass of flowers, providing crisp definition and a natural framework for the bouquet. The transparent vase reveals the straight, trimmed green stems submerged in pristine water, offering a visual freshness and a sense of careful preparation; the glass narrows in the middle and opens at the top, reflecting a bright, studio-like illumination. There's an imagined fragrance - sweet, slightly fruity, and green - that matches the coolness of the glass and the garden-fresh appearance of the stems. This arrangement reads as both romantic and celebratory: perfect for anniversaries, Mother's Day, a congratulatory gift, or simply to bring warmth to a kitchen table near the River Cray. As an experienced local florist, I know how a bouquet like this, crafted at St Mary Cray Florist, communicates affection and refinement without fuss, offering a timeless expression of care that resonates in our community.
LOVE IN THE AIR

Set in a clear glass vase on an immaculate white surface, this bouquet of pink oriental lilies reads like a study in joyful colour and botanical detail. Each open bloom presents broad, star-shaped petals in a rich spectrum from rosy pink to vivid fuchsia, the outer edges sometimes softening to pale pink while the throats glow a chartreuse-yellow that blends into creamy centres. Dark burgundy stamens punctuate the flowers' faces, dusted with pollen that signals a freshly cut bunch; interspersed buds-some tightly closed, others just beginning to unfurl-carry small green tips that promise lingering freshness. The arrangement's strong upright stems and glossy, lance-like leaves offer a deep green backdrop, giving structure and texture against the luminous petals. Because the vase is transparent, you can see the trimmed stems and clear water, a small detail that speaks to good floral care. The studio lighting is soft and even, making the lilies' velvety petal surfaces appear almost tactile and suggesting a gentle, heady fragrance. As a local floral image, it evokes familiar corners of St Mary Cray - the High Street florists' counter, the Cray Valley's soft light on market mornings - and is presented here in the spirit of neighbourhood craftsmanship. St Mary Cray Florist would describe this as an elegant, long-lasting gift choice: suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply to brighten a home in Bromley or nearby Orpington, with the buds offering days of unfolding beauty.

The robust stems, anchored in crystal-clear water, magnify the sense of unspoiled freshness, promising longevity and life. Rich green foliage hugs the bouquet's base, enveloping each blossom in a scent evocative of a stroll through St Mary Cray's greenways.
