Summer Collection
I designed this arrangement to balance refined elegance with a burst of friendly exuberance, the sort of bouquet I often prepare at Wapping Florist for neighbourhood deliveries around St Katherine's Dock and the cobbled lanes off Wapping Wall. Creamy white roses - classic in form and softly fragrant - provide a calm, almost regal centre: their layered petals unfurl in quiet spirals that ground the eye. Punctuating that serenity are vivid magenta-pink Gerbera daisies, each one a tidy sunburst whose saturated colour and bold central discs radiate warmth and positivity. Threaded between these larger forms are sprays of deep purple Alstroemeria, their delicate trumpet shapes and faint speckled markings lending a subtle, exotic texture that suggests movement when viewed from any angle. I use generous, glossy greenery - mixing broad, structural leaves with narrower, sword-like stems - to frame and lift every bloom, creating the full, rounded silhouette you see against the pure white background. At the composition's base a clear glass vase peeks into view, its transparency suggesting freshness and careful handling from stem to bloom. In the soft morning light common to Wapping's riverside flats, the bouquet reads as refreshing and modern, perfect to brighten a birthday table, send to say thank you, or bring cheer to a small anniversary meal. The tactile contrasts - silky rose petals, papery Gerbera faces, and the Alstroemeria's delicate inner markings - invite touch and breath, while the overall design remains composed and thoughtfully appointed for local delivery or pick-up.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
As I assemble these flowers in our Wapping Florist studio near the Thames, I'm captivated by the interplay of pale blush gerberas and romantic pink roses-petals softly merging like spring sun on the river's surface. Deep purple statice dart between the blooms, creating delightful, lively accents that evoke the creative pulse of nearby St Katharine Docks. Fresh green leaves, cool and crisp to the fingertips, form a grounding platform for the pastel blooms, their texture reminiscent of newly-emerged foliage in nearby Wapping Woods. The arrangement is completed in a clear glass vase, allowing the vibrant stems and water to shine, amplifying a light, airy mood that feels both coastal and urban. Whether delivered as a cheerful get-well greeting to Wapping's close-knit neighbourhoods or placed as a bright centrepiece in a modern riverside flat, this carefully crafted bouquet embodies optimism, expert design, and joy in every nuanced detail-reflecting the distinct personality of Wapping.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
An exuberant bouquet of Gerbera daisies, each bloom perfectly placed, glows vibrantly from a glass vase-capturing the creative energy of Wapping's riverside community. Radiant yellows, fiery oranges, and rich magenta flowers are gathered in a crafted arrangement, their bold, dark centers creating striking visual contrast. Intertwined leafy greens provide a grounding backdrop and echo the quiet gardens found along Wapping's cobbled streets. The bouquet is cocooned within a layer of rustic kraft paper and a final wrap of glossy cellophane that shimmers under soft daylight. Through the crystal-clear vase, water-immersed stems stand robust and freshly cut, tied securely with textured twine, from which a small gift tag-decked with a crimson rose illustration-suggests heartfelt gifting for any special occasion. This image radiates celebration and gratitude, whether as a centrepiece for an anniversary dinner near St Katharine Docks or a cheerful pick-me-up sent via Wapping Florist's delivery service. The stillness of the white background serves to accentuate the explosive colour and gently infuses the bouquet with the warm light of a Wapping morning.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
A jubilant bouquet of roses, gathered with the kind of care you find in a neighbourhood florist on Wapping High Street, unfolds like a story of celebration. Broad-faced hybrid tea roses form the centrepiece: sunny yellow blossoms that glow like morning light, creamy ivory blooms that soften the palette, and a rich chorus of pinks from whisper-soft blush to punchy fuchsia and magenta. Bicolour roses, their petals edged in contrasting pink and white, add a playful, almost painterly detail, while clusters of small deep burgundy spray roses create pockets of dramatic contrast. Tightly furled buds are interspersed with fully opened flowers to give the arrangement a natural rhythm and textural interest, and glossy green ruscus or salal leaves provide a cool, verdant frame that lets each hue sing. The stems are gathered into a classic rounded silhouette and finished with a wide red satin ribbon tied into an elegant bow; a white 'Happy Holidays' gift tag is tucked at the base, suggesting a thoughtful present for someone special. Under soft studio lighting the rose petals show velvety depth and a faint, fresh citrus-rose scent seems to linger. This bouquet feels both opulent and intimate - perfect for anniversaries, Valentine's Day, or a heartfelt 'you matter' moment - and it's the kind of arrangement I'd deliver along the Thames by St. Katherine's Docks or down to the cobbles near Tobacco Dock for same-day service in Wapping and nearby neighbourhoods.
CRAZY IN LOVE
£69.00
A carefully composed floral bouquet presented in a simple clear vase, photographed against a pristine white background so the colours read true and bright. At the centre, several magnificent deep pink roses are fully open, their velvety layers graduating from soft blush at the inner curves to deeper fuchsia at the outer edges, each petal catching light like folded silk. Interlaced among the roses are tall white lily buds, many kept deliberately closed or just beginning to unfurl, their long, pointed forms introducing a quiet architectural line and a subtle, powdery floral note that feels restrained and refined. Surrounding the blooms is an abundant mix of green foliage-large, glossy leaves that give weight and silhouette, paired with finer, spring-green sprigs that add lift and movement. Scattered throughout are small, darker burgundy or reddish-brown accents that punctuate the palette and create gentle visual rhythm. The tapered glass vase shows clean water and trimmed stems, a small craft detail that attests to fresh handling and thoughtful presentation. The overall mood is uplifting yet composed, perfect for thoughtful gifts, a bedside cheer, or a compact table centre. As a piece that would travel well around the local riverside neighbourhoods-towards St Katharine's Dock, the Prospect of Whitby or Wapping Lane-it reads as both intimate and elegant, a floral statement that feels at home in narrow Georgian parlours and modern apartment kitchens alike.
CRUSH ON YOU
£65.00
This bouquet feels like an intimate walk through the historic lanes of Wapping, gathering colour and life from every corner. Pale lavender roses unfold at the centre-softly fragrant, reflecting the fresh promise of morning air drifting along the riverfront. Surrounding these are Gerbera daisies in brilliant fuchsia, their broad faces exuding sunny optimism and recalling the convivial warmth found in Wapping's neighborhood pubs. Smaller, rich plum and magenta chrysanthemums build out a vibrant, layered texture that hints at the area's Victorian charm and contemporary flair. Generously interspersed, wisps of tender white baby's breath create a light, airy canopy, enhancing the sensation of a gentle spring breeze that ruffles through the bouquet just as it does across Wapping Green. The foliage, glossy and emerald-hued, adds depth and structure, grounding the vivid palette within the calm authenticity of the community. All elements come together in a clear, crackle-glass vase adorned with a rustic raffia bow, evoking the tactile honesty of riverside market wares. This arrangement, finished with a hanging white tag ready for your message, radiates both joy and thoughtful craftsmanship-ideal for celebrating birthdays, commemorating milestones along Wapping High Street, or simply saying 'I'm thinking of you' with a delivery near St. John's Church. It captures the spirit and expertise of Wapping Florist, reflecting their deep roots in E1W.
DAY BRIGHTENER
£55.00
DEVOTION
DEVOTION
£57.00
Presented with the quiet confidence of an experienced florist's hand, this dense bouquet of mixed roses is a balanced study in colour and texture, photographed against a spotless white background to emphasise every petal and leaf. Dominating the composition are large, classic roses in soft blush pink and creamy white, some petals fully unfurled to reveal layered curves, others held in tender bud form; threaded between them are hot pink or deep fuchsia roses that lift the arrangement with lively, joyful accents, and a few lavender-toned roses that add a cool, romantic counterpoint. Clusters of petite spray roses - mostly ivory with just a touch of pale yellow - create pockets of delicate detail, while rich, glossy greenery (think ruscus or salal) is woven through the blooms to give the bouquetstructure and a lush, garden-fresh frame. The stems are neatly gathered and bound with a wide, satin ribbon in a pale pink shade, tied into a generous bow whose sheen catches the studio light and softens the bouquet's silhouette. Close your eyes and you might sense the soft, classic perfume of roses, tempered by the crisp green scent of the foliage. As a florist serving Wapping and nearby Shadwell, I imagine this piece delivered by Wapping Florist to an apartment along Wapping High Street or placed on a windowsill at St Katharine Docks - a thoughtful token that communicates love, thanks, or celebration with timeless elegance.
GLAMOUR
£67.00
At the heart of this elegant arrangement sits a single, large, fully opened creamy-white Oriental lily whose pristine petals curl back to expose pale yellow stamens and a tender green pistil, a quiet declaration of purity and grace. Encircling that central blossom are numerous lily buds in tender lime-green and pale yellow, some tightly furled, others beginning to breathe, adding layered volume and a sense of unfolding life. Interwoven among the lilies are several small, velvety red rosebuds - rich, romantic sparks that contrast beautifully against the lily's cool tones and lend the bouquet an intimate, classic warmth. The composition rests in a clear cylindrical glass vase; through it the crisp green stems sit in clean water, visible and arranged with a florist's attention to balance. Supporting foliage creates depth and movement: glossy, broad dark-green leaves provide structure, elongated palm-like fronds trail outward with energetic sweep, and silvery eucalyptus sprigs with rounded leaves offer a soft, muted counterpoint. The image is captured on a clean white background that accentuates colour saturation and fine textural detail under soft lighting. The scent is implied - the powdery, sweet perfume of lilies kissed by the headier fragrance of roses - and the overall mood is one of refined celebration or sincere sentiment. Arranged locally for Wapping customers, this bouquet is equally at home as a thoughtful anniversary gift, a polished centerpiece for a riverside gathering, or a simple gesture to brighten someone's day in the neighbourhood.
INSPIRATION
£65.00
A lush, hand-gathered bouquet of roughly two dozen pink roses, presented in a clear glass vase, that feels distinctly at home in Wapping and the surrounding Docklands neighbourhoods. Each rose shows a delicate gradient of colour - the innermost petals hold deeper magenta or fuchsia tones while the outer layers soften to pale blush and cream, producing a layered, almost painterly effect across the domed cluster. The blooms are arranged tightly so the heads gently press together, forming a full silhouette that reads as generous and composed; between and beneath them, rich green foliage provides contrast and a living framework that draws the eye across the bouquet. The stems are neatly trimmed and visible through the transparent water, evidence of careful conditioning and proper stem-cutting to keep blooms hydrated and long-lived. The curved glass vase narrows slightly at the waist before flaring, catching light in soft highlights much like morning reflections on the Thames near St Katharine Docks or the shimmer on a canal boat at Limehouse Basin. As a florist working locally at Wapping Florist, I picture this arrangement delivered with care to a riverside flat, a Wapping High Street office, or left as a surprise on the counter of a favourite local café; it reads as both intimate and refined. The tactile details - the velvet petal texture, the crispness of the greens, the cool clarity of water - combine with a gentle floral fragrance to create an experience that suggests love, celebration, and thoughtful design.
LOVE IN THE AIR
£64.00
A sculpted bouquet of vivid pink oriental lilies stands tall in a simple, clear glass vase on a pristine white surface, photographed to emphasise every petal, bud and leaf. The cluster shows lilies at several stages: grand, six-petalled blossoms opened wide in lush fuchsia and rose, their petals curving back to reveal lighter, creamy throats streaked with chartreuse where the flower's base meets the pollen-laden, dark burgundy stamens. Interspersed are graceful, cigar-shaped buds-pale pinks to deep magenta with hints of green at the tips-promising further unfolding over days. Deep, glossy green leaves of lance-like shape weave between the blooms, giving the composition a rich textural backdrop and sturdy vertical lines. The clear vase reveals neatly cut stems submerged in clean water, a detail that signals freshness and careful conditioning. Studio light skims the waxy petal surfaces and throws soft shadows on the white plane, while the implied perfume of warm, sweet lily notes seems almost tangible from the image. As a local floral composition one might imagine arriving on a windowsill near Wapping High Street or bringing colour into a narrow house on Narrow Street, a floral choice that suits anniversaries, thoughtful apologies, or simply enlivening home decor. This photograph presents the lilies as both elegant and unpretentious-a refined everyday luxury crafted with the knowledge of local tastes and seasons, and the kind of bouquet our team at Wapping Florist often arranges for neighbours along the Thames.
VIBRANT DELIGHT
£60.00
Imagine holding this sumptuous bouquet, expertly crafted by a florist just a stroll from Wapping Lane. The bouquet features velvet-like petals of deep red roses and chrysanthemums, their richness drawing the eye with a promise of depth and warmth. Peach and apricot roses are set among them, casting a soft golden light reminiscent of late afternoons by the River Thames. Sprays of delicate gypsophila flutter between, their cloud-like clusters bringing a gentle airiness to the striking display. The arrangement is grounded by robust, leafy green stems visible in the water of a polished glass vase, signaling freshness and local vitality. Every component is chosen for harmony-each flower complementing the next in both scent and sight, melding the sweet aroma of roses with invigorating green notes. Designed to brighten a birthday, grace a dinner table by Wapping Dock, or carry congratulations, this bouquet brims with uplifting energy and subtle local charm. It embodies the everyday elegance and heartfelt connection found within the riverside neighbourhood.
