Summer Collection
I created this arrangement to sit between refined elegance and friendly exuberance, aiming for something that feels both contemporary and reassuring. Creamy white roses provide the foundation - their layered, velvety petals unfolding slowly and giving a quiet, almost regal perfume that anchors the composition. Bright purple-pink Gerbera daisies are scattered generously among them; each gerbera lifts the mood with a bold, cheerful face and densely packed petals that radiate outward like tiny sunbursts. Interwoven are sprays of deep purple Alstroemeria, whose trumpet-shaped blooms and faint speckling whisper of movement and pattern, softening the larger shapes and adding unexpected detail. Fresh, glossy foliage - a combination of broad, dark leaves and slimmer, sword-like greens - frames every bloom, giving structure while catching soft reflections of light. Against the clean white background the colours feel especially vivid, as though the bouquet has been placed on a bright kitchen counter in the cool of morning before the day begins. It's the kind of arrangement I would send to brighten a neighbour's week or to bring a modern, heartfelt touch to a small gathering in St Mary Cray; the balance of sweetness and vivacity reads as reassuring optimism. Carefully hand-tied and shown with a hint of a clear glass vase at the base, this bouquet exemplifies freshness, meticulous craft, and the simple joy of well-chosen flowers available for local delivery around Station Road and the Cray Valley.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
Arranging this bouquet in the heart of St Mary Cray, I am drawn to the soft synergy between dusky pink roses and the pastel sweep of gerbera daisies. The flowers merge in a pastel symphony-petals blending like the subtle hues of an early Orpington sunrise, while rich purple statice adds energetic, unexpected contrast. The lush leaves, cool to the touch and dew-fresh, ground the airy bouquet, filling the senses with visions of green stretches along the River Cray. Framed in a clear glass vase, the composition glows, the stems and water lending a transparent purity that highlights the blooms' natural charm. This uplifting arrangement is crafted for the heartfelt moments-whether to send encouragement, celebrate a birthday near Poverest Road, or bring a sense of renewal to the home. Each detail, from petal to leaf, reflects careful local stewardship and an enduring appreciation for beauty's role in daily life throughout St Mary Cray.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
A compact celebration of Gerbera daisies, hand-gathered and presented in a simple clear glass vase, the bouquet radiates warmth like a spring morning over the River Cray. Each large daisy opens in a perfect circular plane - luminous yellow, warm orange and a deep fuchsia-magenta - their flat, satiny petals fanning outward from darker brown-black centers that add definition and a hint of vintage contrast. Interspersed glossy green leaves give the grouping depth and a natural rhythm, lifting the blossoms so they read as a full, abundant cluster rather than individual stems. The flowers are wrapped midway in light-brown kraft paper, its subtle texture lending an organic, market-fresh feel, and then sheathed in a clear cellophane cone that flares gently above the blooms, catching light and adding a soft reflective edge. Visible through the glass, the stems are clean-cut and submerged in clear water, while a length of natural twine tied around the neck suggests an artisan touch; a small white gift tag with a tiny red rose motif hangs from the twine and bears partial lettering that hints at hand-finishing. The overall impression is tactile and immediate - you can almost feel the smooth petals and smell the faint green, sap-like freshness - a bouquet designed to uplift, to say congratulations or to bring a smile to a neighbour on St Mary Cray High Street. The composition is poised, joyful and practical, ideal for brightening an entry hall, a bedside table, or for delivery to someone recovering nearby.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
A richly coloured rose bouquet, expertly hand-gathered and set against a crisp white background, that speaks of celebration and thoughtful intention. The composition brings together a vivid palette: bright, sunlit yellow roses and soft creamy-white blooms provide cheerful highlights, while an array of pinks - from whispering blush to electric fuchsia and delicate two-toned pink-and-white varieties - blend with deep burgundy and scarlet roses for romantic contrast. The florist has combined large hybrid tea roses with smaller, clustered spray roses and a selection of tight buds to create a layered texture that feels abundant yet refined. Interspersed glossy greenery, likely ruscus or salal, frames each blossom and allows the colours to read clearly from a distance. The stems are neatly bound with a wide red satin ribbon fashioned into a prominent bow, its tails flowing and catching the light; a small white tag tucked into the knot reads 'Happy Holidays', giving the arrangement a personalised, seasonal note. Under soft studio light the petals take on a satin sheen and the fragrance reads as clean, slightly citrus-tinged rose - an uplifting scent suited to birthdays, anniversaries, or to convey gratitude. Prepared by Florist St Mary Cray and imagined for delivery across St Mary Cray, St Paul's Cray and nearby Orpington, this bouquet combines classic technique with a festive, local sensibility.
CRAZY IN LOVE
£69.00
Arranged with the eye of a neighbourhood florist, this vibrant bouquet marries deep pink roses and poised white lilies in a clear glass vase, the whole composition set against a pristine white background that highlights texture and tone. Several large roses take centre stage, their petals unfurling in layers of fuchsia and soft blush, the velvety surfaces catching a gentle studio light that implies freshness and careful handling at the stem. Nestled among them are white lily buds-many still closed, a few teasing open-with trumpet forms waiting to reveal a delicate, powdery perfume. The flowers are surrounded by a rich assortment of greenery: broad, glossy leaves that frame the blooms and finer, airy sprigs that add movement and a lighter green counterpoint. Subtler elements - small burgundy or reddish-brown buds and accent leaves - are threaded through the display to give depth and a natural, slightly wild complexity. The clear vase, modestly tapered and holding pristine water, exposes neat green stems and underscores the bouquet's cleanliness and lifespan. As a local touch, imagine this arrangement brightening a mantel near Foots Cray Meadows or delivered along Cray Avenue; Florist St Mary Cray prepares stems like these for thoughtful occasions from anniversaries to new-home welcomes. The overall mood is celebratory yet refined, a bouquet that reads as both spontaneous and expertly composed, meant to lift spirits and perfume a room with gentle, floral warmth.
CRUSH ON YOU
£65.00
With every detail reflecting the spirit of St Mary Cray, this hand-tied bouquet is a tapestry of color and texture-evoking community warmth and personal connection. At its heart, soft lavender roses gently unfurl, their delicate scent reminiscent of early morning walks along the River Cray. Encircling the roses, vibrant hot pink Gerbera daisies glow brightly, their signature faces and dark centers lending confidence and flair to the arrangement. Deep magenta chrysanthemums, layered and lush, pulse with saturated color, while occasionally revealing subtle green eyes that catch dappled sunlight, like the leafy canopies of nearby Orpington parks. Feather-light clusters of baby's breath create swirls of airiness, softening the design and adding a cloud-like dimension that lifts the spirit. Anchoring the arrangement, glossy green leaves surround the blooms with natural elegance and a touch of vitality drawn from the local landscapes of St Mary Cray. The bouquet rests in a unique, clear glass vase adorned with a crackled pattern, its surface catching and reflecting the room's light like dewdrops on a garden morning. Tied with rustic raffia, a crisp white tag offers space for a handwritten note, perfect for sending birthday wishes or thoughtful sentiments across St Mary Cray. This bouquet captures both celebration and comfort, illustrating the skill and heart behind each flower selection and every delivered arrangement.
DAY BRIGHTENER
£55.00
DEVOTION
DEVOTION
£57.00
A radiant, densely composed bouquet of mixed roses presented on a stark white background, described with the warmth of a florist who knows St Mary Cray and its neighbouring lanes. The arrangement is round and sumptuous, dominated by full, open roses in soft blush-pink and creamy white that reveal delicate, velvety petals. Striking magenta-pink roses bring lively accents, while a few pale lavender blooms drift through the composition, adding a whisper of cool purple that quiets and balances the warmer tones. Sprays of smaller white and pale-yellow spray roses are tucked between the larger specimens, introducing fine texture and a layered sense of fullness. Glossy, dark green leaves-probably salal or ruscus-peek out in spear-like shapes, providing a bold, fresh contrast and architectural support to the floral masses. The stems are tightly gathered and wrapped at the base, finished with a wide, lustrous baby-pink satin ribbon tied into an elegant bow whose soft sheen catches the light and harmonises with the roses' tones. The bouquet seems to breathe faintly of fresh cut rose perfume with a cool green lift, evoking quiet joy and intimacy. As a floral gift, it suits birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's moments, or a thoughtful Mother's Day surprise; it feels as at home on a mantel in a St Pauls Cray cottage as on a dining table near Foots Cray Meadows. The overall impression is one of expert composition and gentle celebration, crafted with attention to colour, scent, and tactile detail.
GLAMOUR
£67.00
Photographed against a pristine white background, this refined floral arrangement sits in a clear cylindrical glass vase, the light green stems visible beneath clean water. Dominating the composition is a single, fully open creamy-white Oriental lily placed just forward of centre; its broad, satiny petals unfurl to expose delicate pale yellow stamens and a greenish pistil, giving the bouquet a serene focal point. Encircling that open lily are numerous lily buds in shades of lime green and soft yellow, some poised to open, lending a layered, living rhythm to the display. Threaded through the lilies are several small, velvety red rosebuds and partially unfurled roses whose deep crimson hue provides striking, romantic contrast to the lighter blooms. Greenery is abundant and textural: glossy, dark forest-green leaves support and frame the flowers; lighter emerald palm-like fronds arch and spill outward to create movement; and cool, rounded eucalyptus leaves with a silvery tint soften the palette and add a citrus-herb undertone. The studio lighting highlights petal texture and the fresh sheen on the foliage, while the white backdrop keeps attention on colour and form. This bouquet conveys purity, affection, and quiet celebration-a composition I would recommend for birthdays, anniversaries, or as a thoughtful pick-me-up-and is arranged with the technical restraint and freshness a local florist normally reserves for same-day deliveries across St Mary Cray, Orpington, and nearby neighbourhoods.
INSPIRATION
£65.00
A luxurious arrangement of approximately twenty-four fresh pink roses, gathered into a lush, rounded bouquet and presented in a clear, curved glass vase, set against a crisp white background. Every rose is shown at its most graceful moment: centers of intense magenta and fuchsia that gently fade through blush to soft cream at the petal edges, producing an elegant gradient that reads like a painter's wash of colour. The blooms are placed close enough to form a full dome, yet each spiral of petals remains visible, catching bright, even light that highlights satiny textures and subtle shadow between folds. Sprigs of deep green foliage tuck and cup around the rose heads, offering contrast and structural support, while the trimmed green stems are visible through the vase and clear water, lending a sense of freshness and honest construction. There's a tangible sense of care in the composition-you can almost smell the delicate, sweet fragrance rising from the arrangement, a floral and slightly fruity note that recalls market mornings near St Mary Cray's High Street and the Cray Valley. As a working florist in the area, Florist St Mary Cray arranges bouquets like this for anniversaries, Mother's Day, or same-day local delivery, balancing classic romance with modern simplicity. The image captures both the floral artistry and the approachable warmth of a neighbourhood florist who composes with eye, hand, and a respect for seasonality.
LOVE IN THE AIR
£64.00
A generous cluster of vivid pink lilies rises proudly in a simple clear glass vase, set against a pristine white backdrop that makes every petal sing. The bouquet displays a spectrum of pinks from rich fuchsia to tender rose, each open bloom revealing six broad, gently curving petals that run towards a pale, chartreuse-tinged throat; inside, dark burgundy stamens tip with pollen, lending the composition a lively, tactile centre. Between the open blossoms, several elongated buds sit like promises-slender pearlescent buds and deeper magenta ones with tiny green points-suggesting the arrangement will continue to evolve over days. The leaves are a deep, glossy green, lance-shaped and generous, wrapping and supporting the flowers with a reassuring structural quietness while the visible stems in the clear vase speak to freshness and careful trimming. The studio light captures the lilies' satiny texture and the subtle gradations of colour along each petal, and one can almost sense their soft perfume: full-bodied, floral, and comforting. This bouquet carries a sense of celebration tempered by refinement-perfect for marking a birthday, saying thank you, or brightening a bedside in a home near Foots Cray Meadows or the quieter streets off Cray Valley. There is a craftsmanship to the arrangement that feels practiced yet affectionate, the kind of bouquet a local florist would make for someone you want to surprise with true floral presence and enduring beauty.
VIBRANT DELIGHT

Velvety red roses and chrysanthemums cradle clusters of apricot and soft peach-toned roses, their warm tones softly brightened by the late afternoon sun streaming past shopfronts on High Street. Delicate sprays of gypsophila, light and air-filled, drift through the flowers like miniature clouds, softening the drama of the reds and adding a playful lift that conjures memories of springtime strolls in Riverside Gardens. Fresh, glossy green leaves frame the blooms, supplying both visual depth and a subtle, grounding scent. Each stem is secured in clear water within a rounded glass vase, enhancing the sense of freshness and longevity-hallmarks of flowers gathered locally for same-day delivery across St Mary Cray.
