Balloons & Flowers
A joyful birthday scene is captured in soft daylight, the kind that might filter through a Thamesmead living room window looking out toward the park. At the heart of the image is a luxurious bouquet arranged in a tall, clear glass vase, its stems neatly aligned and visible through the water. The flowers are a joyous mix of pinks and purples: bold fuchsia gerbera daisies with almost black centres sit proudly on sturdy stems, their petals like delicate satin wheels. Around them cluster pastel to mid-toned pink roses, some still cupped tightly, others opening slowly to reveal layers of velvety petals that suggest a gentle, romantic scent. Threaded between the main blooms are small, deep purple filler flowers that lend depth and a slight wildflower charm, while abundant fresh greenery frames the arrangement with glossy leaves and varied shapes, giving the bouquet structure and movement. The base of the flowers is wrapped in soft, translucent pink cellophane, slightly crinkled and gathered around the stems, adding a feminine, celebratory touch that catches and diffuses the light. At the neck of the vase, natural twine is tied into a relaxed bow, holding a small off-white tag decorated with a subtle rose emblem, the kind of detail you'd expect from an experienced local florist. To the right and slightly in front, a round foil "Happy Birthday" balloon shines with a white background flecked with grey, scattered with whimsical floral and circular motifs in bright yellow, sky blue, lime green, pink, and purple. Across its centre, "happy birthday" is written in sweeping pink script, echoing the bouquet's palette and making the entire composition feel like a warm, thoughtful birthday surprise ready for delivery anywhere around Thamesmead.
SORBET & BALLOON
£73.00
Bathed in soft morning light, this celebratory arrangement reads like a small, personal party captured in bloom. At centre stage is a generous bouquet held in a clear glass vase with a slightly wider base; the water and green stems are visible, underlining freshness and care. The bouquet's palette is quietly romantic: soft pink roses range from almost-white blush to a warmer pink, their petals layered and delicately cupped, while pale pink Gerbera daisies open wide with buttery yellow centres that lend a playful cheer. Interspersed among these larger blooms are tight clusters of vivid purple statice or limonium, their crisp, papery texture adding contrast and sculptural depth. Glossy deep-green foliage frames the flowers, giving weight and structure that feels like a secret garden gathered for a birthday. Nestled to the lower right is a cake-shaped foil balloon, its white frosting motif edged with blue piping, sprinkled with colourful confetti spots in red, yellow, blue and green, and topped with four bright striped candles-purple, red, orange and blue-each with a tiny yellow flame. "Happy Birthday" stretches across the front in bright, childlike lettering and a small 'KALEIDOSCOPE' label is visible at the balloon's base. As a Thamesmead florist I imagine delivering this to a table near Southmere Park or a flat by the riverside-Thamesmead Florist arranges and dispatches similar bouquets across Abbey Wood and the local town centre for same-day smiles. The overall impression is fresh, thoughtful and quietly festive.
PINK DAZE & BIRTHDAY BALLOON
£70.00
This image shows a jubilant hand-tied bouquet of gerbera daisies, arranged in a simple clear glass vase and complemented by a "best Mum" balloon, all against a crisp white backdrop. The bouquet is generously filled with about a dozen large gerbera blooms, each flower fully opened and facing outward with a dark central eye. The petals create a lively mix of colour, moving from bright, sunny yellow through zesty orange to velvety magenta, forming a warm, uplifting palette that feels at home in a light-filled Thamesmead living room overlooking the canals. Between the blooms, dark green foliage peeps out, adding structure and a hint of wildness while framing the circular heads of the daisies. The stems are neatly gathered, wrapped in a layer of rustic light brown kraft paper with softly rumpled edges, and then enfolded in shiny, clear cellophane that provides a clean, professional touch. A length of natural twine is wound around the stems and tied in a modest bow, its fibres slightly irregular, emphasising the hand-crafted nature of the design. The slim glass vase below holds the stems in cool water, every line of green visible through the transparent sides. To the lower right, a round white foil balloon completes the gift. It is scattered with metallic gold and pink confetti dots, as well as tiny heart shapes that repeat the bouquet's playful tones. At the centre of the balloon, in graceful pink cursive, the words "best Mum" stand out clearly and affectionately. The whole composition radiates warmth, love, and a sense of celebration-perfect for same-day delivery across Thamesmead, from homes around Southmere Lake to family houses near Abbey Wood, when someone wants to honour a mother with colour and joy.
SUNNY GARDEN & MUM BALLOON
£65.00
A joyful "Mum to Be" bouquet is shown in full detail against a clean white backdrop, as if waiting to be chosen for same-day delivery across Thamesmead. The arrangement centres on several striking fuchsia gerbera daisies, each one a perfect disk of bright pink petals circling a deep, inky centre, like little bursts of fireworks frozen in bloom. These bold flowers are softened by the presence of plush, pastel pink roses, some tightly closed in neat buds, others relaxing into open cups of velvety petals, expressing tenderness and the unfolding of new life. Between the main blooms, clusters of small purple filler flowers add airy movement and a gently wild texture, their lilac tones acting as a cool counterpoint to the richer pink shades. Wrapping around the base of the flowers is a generous array of greenery, with a mix of sleek, narrow leaves and broader, glossy foliage that gives the bouquet fullness and a natural, garden-inspired frame, evoking the green spaces dotted around Thamesmead's parks and lakes. The florist has carefully wrapped the stems in layered pink tissue paper, from pale baby pink to deeper rosy tones, arranged in soft folds that form a ruffled collar around the bouquet. Over this sits a layer of transparent cellophane, catching light and adding a polished, gift-ready sheen. Anchored at the base, a charming round foil balloon in bright pink adds an extra touch of fun. The balloon's scalloped edge and white polka dots give it a playful feel, while the elegant white script reading "Mum to Be!" and a small heart motif-a pink heart outlined in white-highlight the personal, loving message. The image captures the feeling of handing over a carefully chosen present to an expectant mother, full of excitement, support, and quiet celebration.
MUM TO BE
£60.00
This image captures a joyous baby girl celebration set, styled against a pure white backdrop so every blossom and ribbon of colour stands out clearly. At the centre is a solid, square light-pink gift box, much like the chic hatbox arrangements seen in Thamesmead Florist's local displays, acting as a supportive base for a generous bouquet that feels both luxurious and comforting. Emerging from its top, wrapped in soft blush-pink tissue and gleaming clear cellophane, is a bright pink gerbera daisy, its round shape and velvety petals giving the bouquet an unmistakably happy heart. Surrounding this central bloom, layers of crisp white chrysanthemums create a soft cushion, their intricate petals forming little domes of texture. Threaded between them are elegant alstroemeria lilies with pale pink and ivory petals flecked with fine speckles, adding movement and delicate detail. A single creamy yellow lily bud reaches upward, still closed, suggesting that the arrangement will continue to evolve in the days after it is delivered, just like the life of the new baby. Sprinkled throughout are vivid lime-green button flowers, which bring a modern punch of colour against the rich dark green leaves and fine fern fronds that spill around the edges. Small clusters of deep red hypericum berries nestle discreetly among the foliage, adding warmth and a hint of woodland charm. To the right, a gleaming metallic foil balloon shaped like a baby pram floats companionably. Its reflective hot-pink body, purple hood and purple wheels decorated with colourful spokes look playful and celebratory, while the bold yellow and green lettering of "It's a Girl!" declares the occasion with pride. The overall mood is one of hope and happiness, perfectly suited for delivery to Thamesmead's riverside apartments or family homes, to brighten a hospital room or nursery as loved ones welcome their new little girl.
NOTHING LIKE PINK & BABY GIRL BALLOON
£60.00
A bright, joyful newborn arrangement presented with the care of a local Thamesmead florist: a rounded bouquet sitting in a sturdy royal blue rectangular presentation box, photographed against a crisp white background so each texture and hue stands out. The composition centers on pure white roses and soft, fluffy chrysanthemums that lend a comforting, cloud-like feel, while elegant white lilies-some in tight bud-suggest newness and quiet anticipation. Interspersed are clusters of pale lavender-blue blooms, like hyacinth, whose clustered bells add a gentle scent and visual softness, and striking electric-blue chrysanthemums that act as vivid punctuation, celebrating the arrival of a baby boy. Lush green foliage, from broad glossy leaves to delicate ferny fronds, gives structure and a fresh, dewy undercurrent to the scent profile. The base is wrapped in crinkled cream-coloured paper that folds into soft pleats, creating an inviting, gift-ready silhouette. Beside the bouquet a light-blue foil baby carriage balloon floats with playful darker-blue trim, tiny heart and polka-dot details, and cheerful yellow-and-green lettering announcing its message, reinforcing the celebratory mood. As an experienced local florist I imagine delivering this to a new family near Abbey Wood station or the Thamesmead town centre, the arrangement arriving with a soft botanical fragrance and the balloon bobbing gently as a joyful herald. Thamesmead Florist can prepare and deliver this style for hospital visits or same-day celebrations across Woolwich, Plumstead, and surrounding neighbourhoods, combining thoughtful design with community care.
SEA PEARL & BABY BOY BALLOON
£67.00
This image presents a thoughtfully composed Father's Day floral gift, photographed against a crisp white background that mirrors the open skies over Thamesmead's green spaces. Dominating the upper left and centre is a lush bouquet of hydrangeas, arranged in a rounded, embracing shape. At the centre, several large, creamy white hydrangea heads form a soft, pillowy core, their small petals layered closely together for a velvety, almost cloud-like look. Around them, cool light blue hydrangeas introduce a calming presence, echoing the tranquil waters near Crossway Park, while bright lime-green hydrangea clusters placed along the lower left and right edges bring a lively, contemporary jolt of colour. Throughout the arrangement, sprigs of silvery-green eucalyptus and deeper green foliage are woven between the blooms, adding structure, depth, and a sense of natural movement, as if a gentle breeze has just passed through. The stems beneath are left visible and neatly tied, reinforcing the impression of a fresh, hand-tied bouquet ready for same-day delivery to homes and workplaces around Thamesmead. Overlapping the lower right of the flowers is a glossy round foil balloon that instantly signals celebration. Its central area is bright white, bordered at the top and bottom with bold black and white stripes, like a smart frame. Across the centre, the message "For the BEST DAD EVER!" appears in playful, mixed fonts. "BEST" and "DAD" are written in large, colourful lettering, each character featuring a different pattern or shade-reds, teals, greens, black dots, and stripes-while "For the" and "EVER!" appear in smaller, straightforward black type. A tiny "No. 1" rosette icon nestles by the word "BEST," and a scattering of colourful stars and dots dances across the balloon's surface. The combination of serene hydrangea tones, fresh greenery, and the joyful balloon creates an image brimming with appreciation, ideal for honouring a much-loved father in the Thamesmead community.
BEST DAD EVER EUPHORIA
£70.00
A handcrafted, heartfelt floral composition photographed against a pure white studio background: several full-petalled peach to orange roses take centre stage, their layered folds soft to the eye and suggestive of a gentle, familiar perfume. Bright yellow gerberas punctuate the arrangement with broad, sunny faces and dark centres that provide cheerful contrast; clusters of deep burgundy carnations offer plush texture and visual depth, their ruffled edges grounding the warmer hues. Slim white alstroemeria with tiny markings peek through like delicate notes, adding a refined lightness to the bouquet. Lush greenery - glossy, broad leaves and slender, airy sprigs - frames the flowers, making each colour read clearer through the glass. The stems sit in a simple clear vase filled with water, the transparency emphasising freshness and careful floristry technique. Nestled to the bouquet's lower right, a round white Mylar balloon decorates the composition: playful gold and fuchsia confetti dots and miniature hearts scatter across its shiny surface, while the centre is inscribed "best Mum" in a flowing hot-pink script that reads like a handwritten dedication. The scene feels intimate and celebratory, ideal for Mother's Day, a special birthday, or a thoughtful delivery to a favourite local - whether someone strolling through Abbey Wood or enjoying a quiet afternoon on the Thamesmead green. This is the kind of arrangement Thamesmead Florist prepares for neighbours who want a polished, heartfelt gift with a personal flourish.
BEST MUM AWARD
£65.00
Photographed on a crisp white surface, this uplifting good-luck gift pairs a full, textured bouquet with a cheerful foil balloon, the kind of arrangement you might send to a friend before a big interview or a child sitting exams. The bouquet, placed slightly left in a clear glass vase wrapped with a simple twine tie, blends soft, comforting tones: powder-pink roses with layered petals, warm peach-orange gerbera daisies centered in deep brown, and feathery clouds of white baby's breath that settle like confetti across the stems. Small white and lime-green chrysanthemum clusters give glints of freshness and structure, while glossy dark-green foliage peeks through to add depth and natural contrast. In the foreground to the right, a round silver Mylar balloon reflects light with a metallic sheen and is dotted with colourful hearts, stars and abstract shapes; its exuberant Good Luck! message is written in playful, multicoloured lettering, the two o's in Good swapped for yellow smiley faces - one winking, one cheekily tongue-out - lending a whimsically human expression. The balloon's silver field and scattered motifs amplify the celebratory tone without overwhelming the flowers. The composition reads warm and artisanal, smelling faintly of rose perfume and fresh greenery, and suggests a thoughtful delivery across Thamesmead and nearby Abbey Wood - a small, hopeful gesture designed to buoy someone facing a new beginning or challenge.
GOOD LUCK COMBO
£60.00
This image presents a thoughtfully coordinated Silver Anniversary gift, composed of a white floral bouquet and a silver foil balloon, set against a simple, bright white background that allows every nuance of the design to show. On the left side, a generous cluster of white chrysanthemum daisies forms the core of the bouquet. The blooms are plentiful and closely arranged, each flower featuring a clean circle of white petals around a golden-yellow centre that brings a subtle warmth to the otherwise cool palette. Rising above and between these daisies, several white lily buds stretch upwards. Their forms are long and tapered, still closed with hints of pale green running along the outer petals, suggesting freshness and the promise of elegant white lilies that will open in the days ahead. Sprigs of white baby's breath are threaded throughout, filling small gaps with their many minute blossoms and creating a misty, romantic veil around the more solid flower heads. Deep green leaves provide a rich backdrop beneath and behind the flowers, anchoring the design and adding natural contrast. The bouquet is wrapped first in clear cellophane, giving a subtle shine, then in brown kraft paper that folds neatly around the stems. The paper's gently crinkled texture and natural tone evoke the feel of a bouquet brought home from Thamesmead Florist after a stroll along the paths by Crossway Park or the canals. The stems are drawn together and tied at the base, ready to be carried or delivered for an anniversary supper at home. On the right, a round silver foil balloon nestles beside the bouquet. Its reflective surface is decorated with an ornate pattern of scrolling, baroque-style motifs in a slightly darker silver shade. At its centre, the inscription "25th" stands out in an elegant, flowing script, while the phrase "Happy Anniversary" appears faintly repeated behind, underscoring the significance of twenty-five years of love or partnership.
HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY
£60.00
Captured against a clean, white backdrop, this image showcases a celebratory floral design that feels as bright and uplifting as a sunny walk along the canals of Thamesmead. On the left, a tall, cylindrical vase in a muted, matte pink stands solid and serene. Its gentle ribbed texture adds quiet interest, allowing the exuberant bouquet above to take centre stage. Rising from the vase, soft pink Oriental lilies provide the main focal point, some open wide into star-like flowers with elegant, arching petals and visible stamens, others still in smooth, tapered buds. Around them swirl roses in complementary tones of blush, mauve, and dusty rose, their tightly layered petals creating a sense of luxury and romance. Threaded throughout the bouquet are rich purple lisianthus, their silken petals adding depth, and tiny lavender aster blooms with yellow centres that resemble miniature daisies, lending a light, meadowy feel. Bright lime green button chrysanthemums appear like little pom-poms of texture, their colour crisp and refreshing against the softer pinks and purples. Fine, airy sprigs of white baby's breath drift through the arrangement, softening lines and adding an almost cloud-like haze, while a variety of dark green foliage gives the bouquet shape, fullness, and a freshly gathered look, as if just prepared at Thamesmead Florist. To the lower right, slightly overlapping the base of the flowers, a glossy, circular foil balloon gleams. Its surface is patterned with cheerful multi-coloured confetti dots in reds, oranges, yellows, greens, and blues. In the middle, the bold white numerals "100" stand out clearly, subtly shaded to appear raised and three-dimensional. Together, bouquet and balloon create a joyful, dignified tribute to a 100th birthday, golden wedding centenary, or any major milestone in Thamesmead SE28.
