BERRY BURST
BERRY BURST
£43.00
Captured in soft, natural light, this exuberant bouquet is an uplifting composition expertly arranged by a florist in New Cross, familiar with the area's artistic vibrancy. The centrepiece features roses in shades of gentle peach and glowing orange, their layered petals evoking a sense of warmth and optimism that echoes the welcoming atmosphere of local New Cross streets and independent cafes. Beneath and between these main blooms, clusters of chrysanthemums playfully alternate between snowy white-with bright green, daisy-like centers-and bold magenta purple, each crowned with a vivid lime-green disc. Their varied textures resemble the whimsical wildflowers that grow near Telegraph Hill Park. Lush, glossy foliage in rich forest green winds between the colorful blossoms, providing grounding abundance and framing the arrangement with a touch of natural elegance. A delicate loop of green bear grass stretches in a gentle arch overhead, adding a dynamic, airy touch. At the base, vibrant orange cellophane is carefully drawn around the bouquet, its crinkled transparency catching the light and enhancing the warm shades above. Whether displayed in a cozy nook near New Cross station or delivered as a thoughtful gesture to a friend in Brockley, this bouquet speaks of celebration, friendship, and the artistry that defines both local floristry and the neighborhood itself.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
A lush bouquet of chrysanthemums in shades of white, cream, and vibrant lime green sits centre stage against a clean white backdrop, every bloom clearly defined as if freshly arranged on the workbench of a New Cross florist. Large, open chrysanthemum heads in soft white and creamy off-white create a cloud-like base, their many layered petals gently curving outwards from pale green and buttery yellow centres. Tucked between them are sprays of smaller, daisy-style chrysanthemums, each with simple, bright white petals that lend a light, almost playful rhythm to the design. Scattered throughout are bright lime green pompon chrysanthemums, perfectly round and densely petalled, like textured buttons that draw the eye and give the bouquet a contemporary twist. Deep green foliage threads through the flowers, not overpowering but providing enough contrast to echo the leafy avenues near New Cross Road and the calm of local gardens after rain. All the stems are bundled tightly at the base and wrapped with a glossy lime green satin ribbon, tied into an intricate bow that mirrors the hue of the pompons and adds a smart, gift-ready finish. The overall impression is one of soothing freshness, as if the bouquet were designed to bring clarity and quiet optimism to a bedside table or office desk. It would feel equally at home as a thoughtful get well gift delivered across New Cross, a gentle way to say "thinking of you," or as a simple, elegant centrepiece for a small gathering of friends on a Sunday afternoon.

MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A lush hand-tied bouquet of hydrangeas and foliage is showcased against a crisp white background, styled with the easy elegance you might expect from a trusted New Cross florist. In the centre, a generous globe of creamy white hydrangea rises like a soft cloud, every petal layered and overlapping to create an inviting, plush surface. Around it, rounded clusters of pale blue hydrangeas bring a soothing, watery tone, echoing the calm of an early morning walk past the gardens off New Cross Road. Scattered between these cooler shades, fresh lime-green hydrangeas add a spark of vibrancy, their chartreuse petals suggesting new leaves and spring light. Threaded throughout the arrangement is a mix of greenery: distinctive eucalyptus with its silvery, rounded leaves introduces a gentle, contemporary touch, while darker, glossier foliage adds structure and a rich contrast to the pastel blooms. The entire design forms a balanced, dome-shaped silhouette, with the stems gathered neatly at the base, splaying slightly where they are tied to emphasise the hand-tied craftsmanship. The neutral white backdrop allows the blues, greens, and whites to stand out clearly, capturing every subtle colour shift and the velvety texture of the hydrangea heads. The overall mood is calm and uplifting, making this bouquet ideal for marking a quiet celebration at home in SE14, brightening a workspace near Goldsmiths, or sending a serene message of care and appreciation across New Cross with same-day flower delivery.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
A striking mixed bouquet stands upright against a crisp white backdrop, the kind of modern, colourful arrangement you might see ready for delivery to a home off New Cross Road or near Goldsmiths. In the centre, full-headed pink roses unfurl their silky petals in layered spirals, offering a sense of tenderness and classic charm. Tucked among them, bright yellow gerbera daisies glow like tiny suns, each bloom anchored by a dark brown centre that adds definition and depth. Reaching above the main cluster, elegant blue delphiniums stretch skyward, their cool indigo and cobalt tones contrasting beautifully with the warmer flowers below and adding an airy, vertical rhythm reminiscent of wildflowers growing along nearby parks. Around the blooms, a rich mix of greenery cushions and supports every stem: fine, lace-like fern fronds that soften the outline, glossy broad leaves that reflect the light, and compact tufts of bright green filler that create a textured, almost mossy background. At the base, several large, structured leaves have been wrapped carefully around the stems, their arcs forming a sleek, natural collar that gives the bouquet a contemporary, design-led feel. These leaves sit above a tidy wrap of pale, neutral-toned paper or fabric, which holds the stems together while still showing their fresh green colour. The lighting is gentle yet clear, enhancing shadows and highlights so each petal, leaf vein, and texture is distinct. This bouquet feels like a joyful, uplifting gesture-perfect for marking a promotion, a new flat in New Cross, or simply bringing a burst of colour into a calm Sunday afternoon at home.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
Set against a clean, white backdrop, this hand-tied bouquet looks like a moment of calm beauty lifted out of everyday New Cross life, perhaps just arranged in a shop near Goldsmiths and placed on a simple counter for photographing. At its centre, large garden roses in soft blush, dusty mauve, and muted antique pink quietly dominate, their layered petals forming gentle spirals that suggest classic romance. Around them, full, frilly carnations bring movement and depth, their creamy bases melting into rose and fuchsia-pink edges, each petal slightly rippled as if caught by a breeze drifting in from Telegraph Hill Park. Deep indigo buds nestle within the design, compact and elegant, setting the stage for a striking open royal blue anemone with a dark, velvety centre that anchors the lower part of the bouquet with dramatic contrast. Pale lavender and lilac stock flowers send up airy spires through the arrangement, each tiny blossom softening the structure and hinting at a powdery, soothing fragrance. The blooms are wrapped in generous greenery: smooth, darker leaves provide a lush frame, while round, silvery eucalyptus leaves weave through with a cooler tone and a suggestion of crisp, aromatic freshness. The stems gather neatly at the base, clearly hand-tied, ready to be carried along New Cross Road for a same-day delivery to a friend recovering at home or a new flat near Fordham Park. The harmonious blend of pink, purple, and blue feels tender yet confident, making this bouquet perfect for sending comfort, congratulations, or a quiet message of affection.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
Arranged with an artist's touch and a New Cross perspective, this radiant floral bouquet seems to capture the gentle optimism of morning light streaming through a local window. Central to the design are soft pink gerberas, their delicate petals fanning outward like ripples on water. Classic pink roses, still partly in bud, mingle with the gerberas-their signature spiral centers embodying both tradition and the hope of new beginnings. Deep purple statice adds surprising notes, bringing vigour and visual rhythm, just as the vibrant atmosphere of Deptford Market does for the neighbourhood. Dense foliage anchors the blooms with a sweep of glossy green, evoking the freshness of local woodlands after rain. The flowers rest gracefully above the waterline in a sleek glass vase, every stem visible and purposefully placed. This composition glows softly, with pinks and purples blending in a way that feels both contemporary and heartfelt, reminiscent of cherished springtime walks through New Cross Gate. Designed for occasions from cheerful get-well wishes to everyday elegance, each bloom is chosen for both its visual beauty and the subtle emotions it conveys. The arrangement, available for local delivery from Florist New Cross, offers a touch of joy and skilled craftsmanship-an uplifting gesture sure to charm anyone in the area.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
A sophisticated hand-tied bouquet rests against a pure white backdrop, its rounded shape bursting with the romantic colours of pink, mauve, purple and vibrant green, as though it has just arrived fresh from a New Cross florist's workbench. Soft pastel roses form the main focus, their petals layered in gentle spirals that shift from deeper blush at the centre to paler, almost creamy pink at the outer edges. Some roses are just beginning to unfurl while others are more open, inviting the eye into their intricate, velvety hearts. Interwoven with them are generously ruffled carnations in dusty rose and muted mauve, adding plush volume and a tactile, frilled texture that gives the bouquet a luxurious, cocooning feel. Punctuating the design are slim, upright spires of deep lavender-blue Veronica, their slender tips creating vertical movement and a slightly wild, garden-inspired silhouette reminiscent of the natural planting seen around nearby Folkestone Gardens. Darker purple lisianthus blooms are tucked between the roses and carnations, their soft, bell-shaped petals bringing a graceful, contemporary note to the composition. Scattered throughout are delicate sprays of aster-like flowers in pale lilac and periwinkle, each tiny daisy radiating from a yellow centre, adding lightness and a sense of air swirling through the bouquet. Cushions of bright, almost chartreuse green filler and arcs of varied foliage, including silvery eucalyptus, create a fresh, cool contrast to the warm pinks and purples. The stems are tightly gathered at the base, showcasing the skill of a professional hand-tied arrangement ready to be placed in water. This elegant bouquet, ideal for marking birthdays, anniversaries or simply sending love across New Cross and nearby Brockley, radiates refined charm, modern style and heartfelt sentiment.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
Imagine entering a room in New Cross and being greeted by a striking bouquet that instantly evokes images of sun-dappled afternoons in Telegraph Hill Park. At the heart of the arrangement, sunflowers unfurl their bright yellow-orange petals around rich dark centers, creating an impression of perpetual sunlight. Interwoven with these cheerful giants are garden-fresh yellow roses, their petals densely layered and soft to the touch, offering a subtle fragrance reminiscent of late summer gardens along Amersham Road. Sprigs of lush greenery and fine ferns add gentle movement and softness, cascading over the edge of a crystal-clear, rounded glass vase. Across the arrangement, red Hypericum berries glimmer, their shiny skins providing vibrant contrast and playful spirit, echoing the diverse energy of New Cross's artful streets. Subtle blue-green eucalyptus leaves and feather-light sprigs of goldenrod emerge between blooms, adding depth and texture. The transparent vase anchors the vivid stems in a pool of water, highlighting the craftsmanship behind each carefully selected flower and foliage. This bouquet captures the vitality and warmth of the community, making it a wonderful gift for celebrations or simply brightening a kitchen or living space. The harmonious blend of colors, textures, and fresh scents is a testament to the artistry and spirit of local florists, creating a bouquet that resonates with happiness, comfort, and the unique heartbeat of New Cross.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
In this beautifully composed photograph, a vivid selection of hand-tied Gerbera daisies radiates with cheerful intensity, reflecting the dynamic and artistic community of New Cross. The bouquet harmoniously combines sunny yellow, bold orange, and velvety magenta flowers, each accented by a sharply contrasting deep center-details reminiscent of the creative bursts found throughout local markets and green spaces like Fordham Park. Soft, lush greenery weaves between the bold blooms, lending a textured, abundant feel. The arrangement is wrapped in rustic, tan paper, its tactile quality invoking a sense of handcrafted, artisanal care characteristic of Florist New Cross. Protected under a layer of clear, glossy cellophane, the bouquet is both elegantly styled and safeguarded, ideal for same-day delivery to New Cross homes or studios. Resting in a simple, contemporary glass vase, the bundle of stems remains fully visible in clear water, their natural lines enhanced by the bright, indirect daylight. A length of twine fastens the stems, adorned with a white gift tag that gently suggests thoughtful gifting-a subtle nod to moments of celebration or gratitude that blossom along New Cross Gate and beyond. Each element is meticulously arranged so the bouquet seems to glow with positivity, making it equally suited for uplifting interiors, marking milestones, or expressing affection from a local New Cross florist.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
Created with the discerning touch of a local New Cross florist, this gift ensemble blends radiant colour, warm texture, and genuine sentiment into a single, evocative tableau. The bouquet's roses, tightly grouped yet softly arching, burst with a kaleidoscope of coral, peach, salmon, and deep pink hues, each petal tinged with sunlit yellow or creamy highlights-a living memory of summer gardens near Fordham Park. Some petals open wide, others curl inward, their velvety surfaces diffusing the gentle morning light just as roses do along Hatcham Park Road. Framing the blossoms, lush dark greenery-eucalyptus or salal-grounds the vibrant palette, their glossy finish and cool tone offsetting the fiery warmth at the centre. Just in view at the base, a rectangular Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolate pouch rests elegantly, its light beige design and classic branding mirroring the understated sophistication found in New Cross cafés. Below the packaging, two luscious chocolate truffles, round and gleaming, lie in wait-a burst of tangy orange and crisp wafer wrapped in smooth milk chocolate, ready to complete the moment. Together this harmonious pairing suggests an occasion of rare generosity-perhaps a birthday celebrated on Kitto Road or a thoughtful gesture delivered to a nearby artist's loft. The bouquet and chocolates invite touch and taste as much as sight, exuding the heartfelt warmth and vibrant community spirit so cherished in New Cross. Perfect for celebrating love, friendship, or new beginnings in SE14.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
Filling the senses with its sumptuous hues and varied forms, this hand-tied arrangement from a New Cross florist is a true celebration of local artistry. Commanding orbs of hydrangea, their dense petals in gradients from royal blue to smoky amethyst, sit nestled like jewels found upon an early morning stroll through Hatcham Park. Among these, roses in shades of soft lavender and creamy white unfurl, radiating gentle romance and calm strength. Cream ranunculus, tightly curled with a silken texture, play alongside slender eustoma stems-their buds pale yellow and just beginning to open, injecting subtle vitality throughout the bouquet. Wisps of feathery pale pink astilbe and sprays of dazzling fuchsia blooms dance at the perimeter, adding buoyancy and movement, much like the gentle pace of life near New Cross's leafy avenues. Light green and white filler flowers that echo the lacy texture of Queen Anne's Lace intersperse the larger blooms, lending an almost mystical softness. Deep green foliage frames and accentuates each floral note, grounding the bouquet in natural elegance. The gathered stems are crisply bound at their base with an opulent purple satin ribbon, creating a final flourish that ties the composition together in understated splendour. This bouquet is lovingly composed for milestone birthdays, heartfelt gifts, or as an inviting centrepiece for gatherings in New Cross-a testament to the skilled hands and imagination of its florist.
