LILIES
BE MY HERO
BE MY HERO
£85.00
Against a clean, white backdrop, a richly coloured bouquet bursts forward, as if just finished on the workbench of a South Norwood florist preparing an extra-special delivery. The eye is first drawn to the dramatic Vanda orchids, their petals a saturated fuchsia-purple etched with fine speckles that create a mesmerising, almost mosaic effect. These exotic flowers sit among rounded clusters of bright orange roses, each bloom tightly packed with spiralling petals, offering a cheerful contrast that calls to mind sunset light over the rooftops near Norwood Junction. Soft blush and pastel pink roses, in various stages from bud to open bloom, are woven throughout, their velvety petals adding a gentle, romantic note and suggesting a subtle, powdery fragrance. Standing taller, several calla lilies in shades of plum, mauve, and muted lavender rise gracefully from the heart of the bouquet, their smooth, sculpted trumpets giving the arrangement a refined, contemporary silhouette. The flowers are cradled in a generous collar of fresh greenery: slender silvery-green eucalyptus branches mingle with deeper, forest-toned leaves, providing both structure and a soothing, natural backdrop. Tiny star-like lavender filler flowers and airy green sprigs are scattered between the larger blooms, introducing intricate details that reward a closer look. The stems at the base are left visible and neatly tied, emphasising that this is a hand-tied design, not a mass-produced piece. Overflowing with colour, texture, and artistry, this bouquet feels ideal for celebrations in homes along Albert Road, as a statement centrepiece for intimate gatherings, or as a vibrant, heartfelt surprise delivered the same day in South Norwood.
BALI DREAM
£95.00
Set against a bright white backdrop, this abundant hand-tied bouquet draws the eye first to its expansive, blush and light pink peonies, each bloom opening in generous ruffles that seem to float like soft clouds. Their silky petals, layered and full, create a romantic centrepiece that feels as if it could have been gathered from a secret garden near South Norwood Country Park at the height of spring. Surrounding these are powder blue hydrangeas, forming a rounded, cushion-like base that cools the palette and lends a gentle, dreamlike depth. Threaded throughout are striking deep purple Vanda orchids, their broad petals patterned with darker speckles, like drops of ink, giving the arrangement a sophisticated, almost gemstone quality. Sleek fuchsia pink calla lilies arc gracefully through the bouquet, their trumpet-shaped blooms adding a modern, sculptural touch and a confident burst of colour. Tiny blush pink spray roses nestle between the larger flowers, adding a delicate, nostalgic charm and intricate texture. Wisps of silvery-green dusty miller and glossy dark foliage peek out at different angles, softening the edges and enhancing the lush, layered look. The natural stems are visible at the bottom, neatly tied, reinforcing the hand-crafted nature of the design typical of a local South Norwood florist. The bouquet radiates a sense of calm celebration and refined joy, perfect for marking a milestone birthday, welcoming a new baby home from nearby Croydon University Hospital, or adding an elegant statement to a dinner table on a quiet evening in SE25.

SANTORINI DREAM
£119.00
A statement round bouquet bursts into view against a pure white backdrop, the colours and textures carefully composed so that every flower seems to float. Broad clusters of powder-blue hydrangea set the scene, their countless little petals forming a soft, cloud-like mass that cools the palette. Tucked in among them are lush, fully opened peonies in a spectrum of pinks-from pale ballet-slipper tones to more vivid, almost fuchsia notes-each bloom dense with ruffled layers that catch the light. Sleek calla lilies, tinted in rich coral and magenta-pink, rise with sculptural grace, their smooth, flaring trumpets carving elegant lines through the more billowy shapes. Smaller roses are woven throughout, some in tender blush pink, others in creamy vanilla yellow, adding moments of delicate romance and a sense of craftsmanship in their placement. Around and between the blooms, velvety dusty miller leaves in muted silver-green mingle with deeper green foliage, giving texture and a gentle, cool contrast. The stems are bound neatly at the base, indicating a hand-tied design ready to be cradled or placed into a favourite vase in a South Norwood home. The bouquet feels both luxurious and approachable, reminiscent of a thoughtfully planned celebration at a local venue near the lake in South Norwood Country Park or along Albert Road. It conjures the soft scent of fresh petals and greenery, ideal for birthdays, engagements, or simply surprising someone in SE25 with a burst of colour that captures the freshness of a South London spring day.
SUGAR VELVET
£110.00
Viewed close-up on a stark white background, this elegant floral composition feels like a carefully arranged letter of affection from a neighbourhood florist in South Norwood. Several magnificent, fully bloomed deep pink roses form the visual nucleus; their velvety petals curl in soft concentric waves of fuchsia and dusty rose, evoking both romance and comfort. Nestled between and above these roses are numerous white lily buds - some tightly closed like promised gifts, others just starting to unfurl to reveal smooth, pristine petals and the faintest hint of pollen - their sculpted shapes bringing height and an architectural grace. Surrounding the flowers is a generous chorus of greenery: large glossy leaves that offer structure, mid-sized pointed leaves that frame each bloom, and delicate lighter-green sprigs that add airiness and visual flow. Small, darker burgundy or reddish-brown sprigs and buds are dotted throughout, giving the bouquet gentle contrast and an almost painterly shadow.The arrangement is presented in a clear, slightly tapered glass vase; through its transparent walls the trimmed green stems appear orderly and fresh in clean water, a small, honest detail that signals skilled handling and freshness. The bright, even lighting emphasises texture - the satin sheen of rose petals, the crispness of lily buds, and the glossy resilience of foliage - making the composition read as both luxurious and approachable.As a South Norwood local arrangement available for delivery across the area, it works beautifully as a thoughtful anniversary gift, a celebratory centrepiece, or a sincere token to brighten a friend's home. At South Norwood Florist we often pair these colour notes to create bouquets that feel both timeless and rooted in our community's quiet, leafy streets.
CRUSH ON YOU
£65.00
Set against a clean white backdrop, this hand-tied bouquet looks as though it has just been lifted from a workbench in a cosy South Norwood studio, ready to be delivered along Portland Road or towards Norwood Junction. The arrangement is densely packed and luxurious, built around several sumptuous red roses whose velvety petals curl inwards in classic, romantic spirals. Around and above them, large pink lilies command attention; some blossoms are fully open, their wide petals shading from a soft, rosy hue to paler, almost creamy centres, while others stand tall as slender buds poised to open over the coming days. The roses and lilies are cradled in a generous bed of ruffled, cloud-like white blooms, likely hydrangea or garden-style carnations, creating a plush, creamy canvas that enhances every colour resting upon it. At the very core sits an unexpected burst of lime green-an almost spherical cluster of textured dianthus or "Green Trick" carnation-bringing a fresh, contemporary edge to the design. Fine, feathery fronds of pale pink astilbe drift upward and outward, softening the silhouette so the bouquet feels light and airy despite its opulent fullness. Dotted among the larger flowers are tiny accents of fuchsia and lavender blossoms, subtle gems that add nuance and a sense of careful craftsmanship. Dark green leaves weave through the arrangement, their rich tones grounding the brighter hues and adding natural depth. The stems are left long and straight, expertly bound at the base with a slim ribbon of deep red satin that echoes the colour of the roses. This bouquet radiates warmth, elegance, and joy, ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply brightening a South Norwood home with the feeling of fresh market flowers gathered in their prime.
HEY GORGEOUS
£65.00
At the heart of this elegant glass vase composition are architectural white calla lilies whose smooth, trumpet-shaped blooms and pale yellow spadices lend an immediate sense of modern refinement. Surrounding them, rich magenta peonies provide bold colour and voluptuous texture: two large, fully open peonies display deeply ruffled petals while a smaller bud promises a soft unfolding in days to come. A creamy white rose rests low in the cluster, its compact spiral offering a timeless note of sincerity, and tiny clusters of baby's breath (Gypsophila) drift throughout like a soft, airy veil. A vertical spire of white stock rises to balance the lilies, the stock's many small florets contributing a gentle, textured height that gives the arrangement a graceful spine. Varied foliage - from slender, fern-like fronds to fuller glossy leaves - frames the blooms, deepening the magenta and bright white tones and adding a fresh, garden-picked scent under the top notes of peony honey. The clear, curved glass vase reveals the stems and water, adding an honest, contemporary finish to the display. Thoughtfully composed for celebration or heartfelt gifting, this bouquet is the kind of seasonal piece we craft at South Norwood Florist for neighbours around Norwood Junction and Station Road; it reads equally well as an anniversary arrangement, a Mother's Day gift, or a premium delivery for someone in South Norwood Park, with a quietly uplifting presence and tactile, floral richness.
HOPELESS ROMANTIC
£65.00
A close, carefully lit study of contrast and balance, centred on one large, open creamy-white Oriental lily whose pristine petals curve outward to reveal pale yellow stamens and a pale green pistil. Around it, numerous pale yellow-lime lily buds sit at varying stages of opening, suggesting movement and future bloom, while clusters of velvety red rosebuds punctuate the arrangement with rich, romantic colour. The foliage is deliberately varied: broad, dark green leaves form a solid backdrop, slender, arching palm-like fronds spill outward in bright emerald sweeps, and soft, rounded eucalyptus leaves in silvery-green soften the silhouette. Everything is gathered in a clear cylindrical glass vase so the pale green stems and clear water remain visible, lending an honest, botanical quality under the clean white studio background.

From my bench at South Norwood Florist, we often craft this kind of composition for occasions that call for refined sentiment-birthdays on Portland Road, quiet congratulations delivered to Selhurst, or as a striking centrepiece for a celebration at a local hall. The bouquet reads as both formal and intimate: the lily brings purity and calm, the red roses whisper passion, and the greenery adds texture and breath. Picture it on a dining table by soft daylight or in reception rooms near Woodside Green; it carries the promise of unfolding blooms and the reassuring freshness of newly cut stems.
INSPIRATION
£65.00
A richly textured bouquet of oriental lilies, artfully arranged to showcase both pristine whites and bold fuchsia tones, occupies the picture with confident, floral grace. Numerous blooms are at their peak - broad, sculptural petals unfurl into trumpet and star shapes that catch the light, while inner stamens and filaments add a delicate, tactile contrast with their soft dustings of pollen. The white flowers are creamy with subtle yellow-green throats, evoking a quiet refinement, and the pink-to-magenta lilies offer velvety depth, sometimes accented by paler veins or a luminous, almost ivory center. Interwoven throughout the display, long, dark-green lance leaves provide structural lines that lend movement and a garden-fresh vitality. Below, a clear glass vase anchors the composition; through its transparency you can see the clustered stems and clear water, a visual promise of cleanliness and freshness that any florist would champion. The overall lighting is bright and even, revealing the softness of the petals and the lush fullness of the arrangement - you can almost imagine the gentle, sweet fragrance filling a hallway on a spring morning. This bouquet radiates warmth and celebration without ostentation, perfect for welcoming guests, marking anniversaries, or brightening a South Norwood flat near the lake. If you picture it on a sideboard on Portland Road or as a same-day thoughtful surprise to a neighbour, the image reads both as an artwork of floristry and an invitation to connection.
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A glorious, close-up overhead composition that celebrates autumn in full colour, captured against a pristine white backdrop so every petal and vein stands out. The arrangement is dominated by several large, fully open orange lilies whose trumpet petals curl back elegantly, accompanied by numerous compact lily buds showing green and pale orange hints that suggest the bouquet will continue to unfurl over days. Interspersed are bright orange Gerberas and rich, burgundy-red Gerberas, their ray-like petals forming perfect circular faces that bring energy and warmth. Gentle ivory lisianthus or mini roses provide soft relief with their layered, ruffled petals, while subtle, purple-grey Astrantia clusters add fine, spiky texture like delicate lace. Prominent reddish-brown oak-like leaves-their lobed silhouettes strongly autumnal-are woven through the design, echoing the turning foliage you might find on a walk through South Norwood Park or along Station Road. Glossy green foliage and slender stems anchor the bouquet, giving contrast and structural rhythm to the dense, rounded composition. The overall impression is one of abundant freshness, artisanal arrangement, and seasonal celebration, scented faintly of warm florals and damp earth. This bouquet would suit an autumn dining table, a harvest festival display, or a heartfelt gift to mark a birthday or anniversary, bringing the tactile, cosy spirit of the neighbourhood's late-year colours into any room.
NATURE'S PALETTE
£74.50
A fresh, spring-fresh bouquet arranged with care: a dense cluster of white chrysanthemum daisies, pale green lily buds, and airy gypsophila, set against a plain white background so every texture and tone is clear. The chrysanthemums are the visual heartbeat of the composition, their crisp white petals radiating from sunny yellow centres to create an open, uplifting face. Between them the elongated, pale green-yellow lily buds add an architectural grace; some sit tightly furled, others show the first hint of swelling petals, a quiet promise of scent and bloom. Little clouds of baby's breath are woven through the bouquet, their minuscule white flowers giving a soft, ethereal veil that contrasts with the chrysanthemums' fuller shapes. Deep green leaves frame the flowers and provide cool contrast, the glossy foliage catching the light and adding dimensionality. The flowers are hand-gathered and wrapped in a rustic, crinkled brown kraft paper inner layer and a protective clear cellophane outer wrap, which is gathered and tied at the base to form a neat, portable bundle ready for delivery. Imagine the bouquet leaving a tucked-away shop near South Norwood Park on a damp morning-subtle, clean fragrance, the impression of thoughtful hands arranging stems for a birthday, a new baby, a get-well wish, or a gentle condolence. It reads as both classic and contemporary, quietly optimistic and versatile for many occasions.
PURE ELEGANCE
£65.00
A meticulously composed, generous bouquet of pristine white lilies fills the frame, presented in a clear glass vase set against an unblemished white background. Each bloom unfurls multiple layers of broad, velvety white petals, some with a soft cream or pale green glow near the throat that catches the light and adds subtle warmth. Slender stamens with pale greenish-yellow filaments and rich brown anthers project from several open flowers, lending delicate textural contrast against the luminous petals. The arrangement's dense fullness is balanced by abundant deep-green, lance-shaped leaves that weave between the blossoms, creating volume, movement, and a lush backdrop for each lily's silhouette.

The vase is classic and transparent, its flared neck holding clear water through which the pale green stems descend; the water's surface and glass edges reflect crisp studio light, underscoring the bouquet's fresh, just-arranged quality. As an experienced local florist at South Norwood Florist, I'd describe the scent as a refined, gently sweet perfume that fills a room without overpowering it-an aroma that feels at home in a quiet apartment near South Norwood Lake, on a mantel in a Norwood Junction flat, or as a thoughtful sympathy arrangement at a local memorial service. This composition reads as timeless and serene, ideal for conveying purity, remembrance, or peaceful celebration, and it shows the careful cultivation and handling that residents expect from a community florist in South Norwood.
STRIKING BEAUTY
£65.00
A beautifully composed white and green flower basket sits centred against a pure white backdrop, every stem arranged with the care of an experienced South Norwood florist. The basket itself is made from light, natural wicker, tightly woven with a slightly rustic feel, and topped with a sturdy arched handle that frames the arrangement like a picture. Around the base, a red and white check ribbon is tied in a precise bow that looks both homely and cheerful, reminiscent of picnic cloths seen in parks around South Norwood Lake on a sunny afternoon. From this charming base, a lush meadow of white and green blooms rises. Tall lily buds, still mostly closed, stand like elegant sentinels, their creamy, pale-green casings promising a slow, beautiful reveal over the coming days. Among them, fully open white Gerbera daisies face forward, their large, flat petals forming perfect circles around deep, dark centres that draw the eye inward. Threaded through the arrangement are Lisianthus blooms in shades of white and very soft green, their slightly frilled petals creating a gentle, cloud-like effect. You can also spot a smooth, trumpet-shaped white calla lily adding sculptural interest, along with clusters of small, spiky white and green chrysanthemum-type flowers that give a soft, textural finish. Surrounding and supporting the flowers is an abundant mix of foliage: round, silvery eucalyptus leaves, variegated green-and-cream trails, and deep green, broad leaves that create layers of contrast. The overall palette feels calm and uplifting, like fresh morning air along Portland Road. This basket would be perfect for an intimate anniversary celebration at home, a quiet thank-you gift, or a serene arrangement to bring freshness into a local South Norwood office or shop, carrying a sense of purity, comfort, and thoughtful care.
SWEET MOMENTS BASKET
£65.00
Presented against a crisp white background, this generously mounded bouquet balances warm energy with refined detail. Golden-yellow Asiatic lilies drive upward motion-some blossoms wide open with delicate speckling and visible stamens, others elongated buds promising later bloom-casting a soft perfume that blends with powdery lavender-rose notes from the pair of mauve roses tucked near the centre. Broad, flat orange Gerberas read like sunlit faces across the arrangement, while smaller spherical, spiky orange and yellow accent blooms (Craspedia-style) add twinkling highlights and playful texture. Bright chartreuse-green button chrysanthemums create voluminous, ruffled clusters that fill the composition and lend a luxuriant, cushion-like feel to the bouquet's body.Interspersed throughout are blue-grey sea thistles (Eryngium) whose star-shaped bracts and steel-blue tones bring a modern, architectural edge to the warmer palette. Varied greenery-long lily leaves and glossy filler stems-ties the elements together, giving the eye places to rest between vivid colour notes. The softness of the roses, the crispness of the lilies, and the prickly contrast of thistle produce a multi-sensory experience that is both celebratory and quietly elegant. Crafted with care by South Norwood Florist for clients around Norwood Junction and South Norwood's high street, this bouquet is equally suitable for sending congratulations, brightening a hospital room, or creating a bold centrepiece for an intimate gathering near Crystal Palace Park.
TROPIC GETAWAY
£64.00
Seen against a clean white background, this dense, rounded bouquet reads like an artist's study in warm colour and tactile contrast. Dominating the arrangement are several bold Asiatic lilies in orange-red, their broad petals arching back to reveal delicate dark speckling and the contrast of stamens that add a dramatic centerline to each bloom. Intermingled with the lilies are saturated crimson Gerbera daisies whose many slender petals create a rhythmic, sunburst effect around darker central discs. Sprays of pale, blush-pink roses soften the palette, their velvety petals moving from tight buds to gracefully open blossoms that introduce a romantic, calming note. Shiny red hypericum berries are dotted throughout, catching light and bringing a jewel-like sparkle and rounded texture that offsets the smoothness of the roses and the papery feel of the lilies. The bouquet is generously filled with varied foliage-long, tapered lily leaves, broad green pads, and occasional variegated pieces that give the arrangement depth and a fresh, garden-picked quality. A few unopened buds hint at continued bloom and longevity, while the overall mix of colours-fiery oranges and reds with gentle pinks and lush greens-creates an upbeat, celebratory mood. You can almost imagine carrying this to a gathering on South Norwood High Street, presenting it in a small community hall near South Norwood Library, or sending it as a bright, fragrant surprise for someone who appreciates lively, expertly arranged florals.
TROPICAL OASIS
£64.50
This bold yet refined display of pink oriental lilies is presented in a clear glass vase against a stark white backdrop, composed to emphasise the flowers' sculptural beauty and fresh vitality. Dozens of fully opened lilies present their six broad, star-like petals in saturated shades of fuchsia and deep rose, each petal edged with softer pink and curving with an elegant backward sweep that reveals a pale, creamy throat kissed with chartreuse. Dark burgundy anthers sit prominently at the centre of each bloom, dusted with pollen that signals the flowers' peak freshness, while several elongated buds remain tucked into the arrangement - pale to deep pink gradients with tiny green tips - promising days of unfolding colour. Rich, glossy green leaves and firm stems give the bouquet a strong, upright silhouette and provide a verdant counterpoint to the vivid blossoms. The transparent vase allows a view of the trimmed stems and clean water level, the kind of precise finishing a seasoned florist would use to prolong vase life. The lighting is soft and clinical, highlighting petal texture and the slightly waxen sheen that makes the lilies seem almost tactile; you can almost imagine their sweet, enveloping scent. This arrangement reads as an elegant, versatile gift-perfect for special occasions from anniversaries to a thoughtful bedside bouquet after a walk through South Norwood's High Street - and embodies the balanced craftsmanship and care of an experienced hands-on floral designer.
VIBRANT DELIGHT
£60.00
The artistry of this tall blue-and-white bouquet lies in the way textures and tones converse: a voluminous, velvety cluster of deep blue hydrangeas forms the cool, magnetic heart of the piece, its many tiny petals creating a plush, tactile surface. Creamy white roses encircle the base and mid-section, their petals curling inward in gentle spirals that offer a comforting softness against the hydrangeas' dense mass. Emerging above these are elegant white calla lilies, each trumpet-like bloom lifting with sculptural grace and a porcelain sheen that catches the light. Interspersed among the lilies and hydrangeas are slender stems of white snapdragons or stock, their delicate florets adding height and a light, whimsical rhythm. Interwoven green foliage-broad glossy leaves and delicate fern fronds-builds depth and a natural backdrop, the greens providing both contrast and a dewy, garden-picked freshness. The stems are neatly visible through a clear glass vase, the water immaculate and the arrangement balanced to show professional technique. This bouquet carries a quietly assured mood: serene, sophisticated, and comforting, crafted to mark an anniversary, offer sympathy, or elevate a dining table. As a local touch, the arrangement captures the calm of South Norwood's neighbourhood mornings near Norwood Junction and Woodside Green. South Norwood Florist prepares and packs these with care for local delivery across South Norwood, often ready same day for urgent moments of consolation or celebration.
YOU ARE EXQUISITE
£65.00
A luxurious bouquet of white Oriental lilies and deep red roses is beautifully captured against a clean white backdrop, evoking the feeling of a freshly prepared gift ready to leave a South Norwood studio for same-day delivery. At the heart of the design, several large white lilies open wide, their petals smooth and slightly curved at the tips, forming a star-like shape around clusters of dark, chocolate-brown anthers that hover above pale pistils. Some lilies are still in bud, tall and tapered, their green and ivory casings just beginning to part, suggesting that the bouquet will continue to evolve like the changing light over South Norwood Lake. Nestled between the lilies are deep red rosebuds and small, partially opened roses, each bloom made up of tightly overlapping petals that give a plush, velvety texture and a strong romantic note. Surrounding this central interplay of red and white is a generous layer of lush greenery: rich dark leaves, some broad and glossy, others fine and arching, reminiscent of ornamental grasses swaying along local streets and garden fronts off Portland Road. The stems are gathered and wrapped in voluminous, bright pink, semi-translucent cellophane or floral paper that forms soft, cascading folds around the flowers, catching reflections and adding a celebratory sheen. At the base, a slim lime green ribbon is tied neatly around the gathered wrapping, its bright tone offering a refreshing accent that highlights the foliage. The overall impression is one of polished romance and joy, perfect for anniversaries, milestone birthdays, or heartfelt thank-you gestures sent to homes and offices across South Norwood.
