CHEAP FLOWERS
A vibrant hand-tied bouquet fills the frame, photographed straight on against a stark white backdrop so that its colours seem to leap forward. The arrangement forms a rich, rounded mound of blooms, crafted with the kind of care you would expect from an experienced Southgate florist preparing a surprise delivery off Chase Side. Dominating the design are several bi-colour roses, fully open and velvety, each flower flushing from a sunny, golden-yellow heart to burnished orange and faint reddish-orange along the ruffled outer petals. These warm tones immediately give the bouquet a sense of welcome and celebration. Nestled between the roses are immaculate white daisy-style chrysanthemums, each bloom perfectly formed with smooth, slightly overlapping petals encircling a sharply defined lime-green centre. Their crisp whiteness brings clarity and lightness, like early morning sun over Broomfield Park. Tucked closely among them, clusters of deep magenta chrysanthemums add drama and depth; their small, many-layered petals form rounded buttons of intense colour, anchored by yellow-green centres that echo the daisies. Around and beneath the flowers, dark green, slightly glossy foliage provides a leafy frame, enhancing the sense of dimension and giving the impression that the bouquet has just been gathered at peak freshness. The stems, visible at the base, are cleanly cut and neatly bound together, suggesting a professional, ready-to-vase gift bouquet. Overall, the composition conveys joy, appreciation, and a lively sense of occasion, ideal for marking milestones, new beginnings, or simply brightening a home in Southgate with a splash of sophisticated colour.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
There is a composed serenity to this hand-tied arrangement that reads as a floral essay in texture and tone. At its centre are pale blush roses, each petal layered like soft fabric and slightly luminous in soft, ambient light; around them, compact clusters of white berries-likely snowberries-act as bright punctuation marks that lift the palette. The foliage is a study in soothing contrast: dusty eucalyptus leaves in muted blue-green provide a cool, rounded backdrop with a slightly silvery cast, while small sprays of delicate white filler-suggesting waxflower or astrantia-create an airy filigree that makes the bouquet feel freshly gathered rather than overly structured. Hints of deeper pink or burgundy mini-flowers nestle near the base, adding shadow and richness, and taller green-and-white spike flowers peek out at the edges, giving the arrangement vertical rhythm. The stems are bound with a cream satin ribbon in a casual knot, a tactile finish that speaks of careful, hands-on floristry. Set against a softly blurred carved stone or plaster background, the bouquet reads as refined and quietly romantic, ideal for milestone birthdays, heartfelt thank-yous, or as a thoughtful gift to brighten a new flat along Chase Side or near Broomfield Park. The scent would be a cool, leafy lift with faint rose sweetness-comforting, calm, and artfully arranged by careful hands familiar with the seasons in Southgate.
FLORIST CHOICE £50
£50.00
Against a stark white background this professionally made round bouquet presents a confident harmony of colour and texture: vivid magenta Gerbera daisies, creamy white roses, and clusters of deep purple Alstroemeria mingle with lush green foliage to form a full, tactile silhouette. The Gerberas, with their densely layered petals and darker central discs, project a joyful, graphic energy, while the roses offer a softer, velvety counterpoint-their spiralling petals suggesting a light, honeyed scent. The Alstroemeria contribute delicate trumpet shapes and fine speckled markings that draw the eye inward toward small, intricate details. Glossy leaves, some broad and some narrow, cradle each bloom and create a chiaroscuro of highlights and shadows that heighten the sense of depth. A subtle edge of clear glass at the base hints at the vase holding the stems, giving the bouquet a grounded, finished look. As a florist who knows Southgate intimately, I picture this arrangement brightening a table near the shops on Southgate High Street or arriving as a thoughtful gift to someone in Arnos Grove; at Florist Southgate we arrange similar combinations for birthdays, anniversaries, and small celebratory gatherings. The clean lighting makes the magenta pop against the whites and purples, and the overall mood is one of fresh optimism and considered elegance-perfect for home décor, a cheerful bedside surprise, or a tasteful office reception display.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
A beautifully coordinated "Mum to Be" bouquet is photographed against a plain white background, highlighting every petal and leaf in a way that feels clean and modern, much like a freshly styled Southgate living room. Dominating the bouquet are large, fuchsia-toned gerbera daisies, their petals radiating out from dark, inky centres in neat concentric circles that draw the eye. Between them, pastel pink roses offer a softer, more romantic mood, some still in bud with their tips just beginning to loosen, others partially open to show the gentle spirals of their inner petals. Woven between the pinks, tiny purple filler flowers lend texture and a gentle hint of wildness, making the bouquet feel more natural and garden-inspired than formal. Rich green foliage in a mix of slender and broader leaves supports the blooms, rounding out the arrangement and giving it a lush, full shape. The stems are carefully tied and wrapped in layers of pink tissue paper, ranging from light blush to deeper rosy tones, then encased in a transparent cellophane film that provides structure and sheen, as if ready for same-day delivery around Southgate and nearby Winchmore Hill. At the front base of the bouquet, a bright pink foil balloon with a scalloped edge is prominently displayed. Its surface is dotted with regular white polka dots, and in graceful white script the words "Mum to Be!" sweep across the centre. A small heart motif - one heart nestled within another - sits between the words, reinforcing the sentimental theme. The combination of the cheerful balloon and the harmonious pink flowers creates an arrangement that feels both uplifting and intimate, ideal for baby showers, gender reveals, or congratulating a soon-to-be mum.
MUM TO BE
£60.00
I arranged this elegant white bouquet with an eye for balance and quiet emotion, placing clusters of pristine chrysanthemum daisies front and centre so their many slender petals form a bright, optimistic core around each pale yellow eye. Between those cheerful heads I tucked pale green-yellow lily buds - some showing soft striping along the outer sepals - so the composition suggests both immediate beauty and the gentle anticipation of unfolding blossoms. Fine, cloud-like sprays of Gypsophila weave through the larger flowers, giving a soft-focus texture that lifts and breathes around the denser blooms; dark green foliage anchors the whole piece, its glossy leaves creating depth and a soothing contrast. The stems are wrapped first in textured brown kraft paper for an organic, market-style feel, then finished with a clear cellophane layer that protects the stems and gives a sleek glint under light; the wrapping is gathered and knotted to form a neat, portable base so the bouquet can stand when needed. The overall impression is one of calm purity and sincere thoughtfulness - a bouquet that suits birthdays, gentle congratulations, get-well wishes, or quiet sympathy. Locally, I picture this being handed over outside Southgate tube or tucked into a car for delivery around Palmers Green and Arnos Grove. As a florist in the area, Florist Southgate often recommends this mix when customers ask for something timeless and unassuming, with a subtle, clean fragrance like grass after rain.
PURE ELEGANCE
£65.00
In this image, a vibrant bouquet of mixed blooms is packed into a charming dome that rises from a crisp white square box, all set against a pure white backdrop that keeps the focus entirely on the flowers. The composition is lush and generous, reminiscent of a fresh market selection from a local Southgate florist ready to be delivered along Green Lanes or to a flat overlooking Broomfield Park. Dominating the arrangement are sunny yellow flowers: tight clusters of spray roses with petite buds snuggle up to large yellow chrysanthemums whose myriad soft petals give a sense of fluffy volume and warmth, like early afternoon sunshine. Interspersed throughout are white blossoms in varying forms-small, daisy-like chrysanthemums with green button centres that add a clean, graphic touch, alongside fuller, more rounded white chrysanthemums that introduce a pillowy softness and visual balance. These light tones create a crisp contrast against the bold accents of fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums, some with faintly lighter pink tips, which bring energy and a playful modern twist to the design. Deep, dark green foliage, smooth and slightly glossy, rings the base and slips between blooms, structuring the bouquet and intensifying the brightness of the petals, much like the greenery around Southgate's quiet residential streets. The white cube container functions as both vase and gift box, giving the overall look a contemporary, minimalist feel that suits home or office settings. This bouquet radiates optimism and warmth, making it ideal for budget-friendly birthdays, congratulations, or simply sending a colourful surprise to lift someone's spirits in Southgate and nearby areas.
SPARKLING EYES
£50.00
A lush bouquet of chrysanthemums in harmonising shades of white, cream, and lime green is displayed against a bright white backdrop, lending the arrangement an almost ethereal clarity. The bouquet is densely packed, creating a full, dome-like silhouette where each bloom seems to nestle companionably against the next. Larger chrysanthemum heads in white and creamy ivory form the foundation, their fine, layered petals curving out gracefully from pale green or soft yellow centres. This creates a rich, textured surface that feels both traditional and luxuriously soft. Threaded between these are stems of white spray chrysanthemums, each bearing multiple petite, daisy-like blossoms. These smaller flowers lift the design, giving it an airy, slightly whimsical touch, as though a flurry of tiny wildflowers has been gathered alongside the more formal blooms. Scattered purposefully throughout are lime green pompon chrysanthemums, their compact, spherical forms vividly coloured and tightly petalled, adding a modern, almost architectural contrast. Dark green foliage is tucked in sparingly, glimpsed at the edges and between stems, grounding the composition without disturbing its clean lines. At the base, the stems are aligned and hand-tied, cinched with a wide satin ribbon in a bright lime green that mirrors the pompon mums above. The bow is formed into generous loops, giving a polished, gift-ready appearance. The bouquet carries a mood of gentle optimism and quiet joy, reminiscent of a peaceful afternoon walk through Oakwood Park near Southgate. It would be a fitting choice for congratulating someone on a new chapter, sending thoughtful get-well wishes, or simply brightening a contemporary living room with a calm, refreshing presence.
