RETIREMENT FLOWERS
Set against a clean, uncluttered white backdrop, this round, hand-tied bouquet draws the eye straight to its centre, where two sumptuous red roses rise like a romantic focal point. Their velvety petals curl inward in tight spirals, suggesting both freshness and intensity, the kind of rose you might choose to mark an anniversary dinner at home near Highgate Village. Encircling the roses is a generous halo of white daisy-like chrysanthemums, every bloom crisp and luminous, with bright lime-green centres that bring a lively spark of colour and keep the arrangement feeling modern and fresh. Interlaced through the white daisies are soft pink and medium pink chrysanthemum-style blooms, each with that same green eye, creating a gentle dance between cool brightness and warm blush tones. Delicate sprigs of pale pink filler flowers, reminiscent of waxflowers, scatter throughout like tiny stars, adding texture and subtle movement along the lower edges and between larger flowers. Lush green foliage, from deep, broad leaves to lighter tips, supports and frames the blossoms, giving the bouquet structure while enhancing the sense of garden-picked abundance. The stems are carefully aligned and tied at the base, clearly visible beneath the rounded head of flowers, ready to be placed straight into a favourite vase in a Highgate sitting room or laid on a dining table with views toward Hampstead Heath. This composition feels joyful yet composed, ideal for expressing affection, gratitude, or gentle encouragement, and evokes the calm, uplifting atmosphere of a well-loved local Highgate Florist creation.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
A radiant mixed flower bouquet fills the frame against a spotless white background, its colours and textures glowing as if lit by soft North London daylight. The arrangement is shaped into a generous, rounded dome, the sort of hand-tied design a Highgate florist might recommend for a birthday brunch on Swain's Lane or a cosy get-together overlooking Hampstead Heath. Dominating the centre are several fully opened roses with a beautiful bi-colour effect: their cores are bright, sunny yellow, gently melting into rich orange and finally into delicate reddish-orange at the tips, giving each bloom a sunset-like warmth. Woven closely around them are white daisy-style chrysanthemums, each flower crisp and clean, with a vivid lime-green disk at its centre that adds a refreshing pop, like new grass after rain. Interspersed through this white and yellow harmony are clusters of deep magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, their tightly packed petals forming plush, rounded heads with yellow-green centres that echo the daisies while adding depth and intensity. Glossy, dark green foliage peeks between the flowers, framing the blossoms and enhancing the lush, garden-fresh appearance, as if they have just been picked from a hidden courtyard off Highgate Hill. The stems are neatly gathered and bound at the bottom, their cut ends visible and tidy against the plain background, highlighting the care taken in the hand-tying. This bouquet radiates happiness and gratitude, ideal for marking new beginnings, sending congratulations to a neighbour, or lifting the mood of a home near Waterlow Park with a vivid splash of colour and life.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
This bouquet, captured from a bird's-eye perspective, sings with joy and color-a symphony of peach, orange, magenta, and white blooms reminiscent of a festive afternoon in the heart of Highgate Village. Spiraled, apricot roses glow at the center, surrounded by playful clusters of chrysanthemums: some pure white with zesty green centers that bring a note of freshness akin to dewy mornings by Pond Square, while others turn up the drama in rich, purple-magenta tones, orbiting luminous lime-green hubs. The ensemble is swaddled by shining dark green leaves that curl protectively, suggesting the enveloping tranquility of Highgate's leafy lanes and garden terraces. Lifting the composition, a threadlike arch of bear grass provides a gentle sweep of modern elegance, mimicking the movement of a breeze over Parliament Hill. At the root of the bouquet, a wrap of bright, crinkled orange cellophane gathers the warmth of the flowers together, presenting them as a celebration waiting to unfold. Whether marking a milestone along Southwood Lane or sending cheer to a friend in Dartmouth Park, this creation embodies the friendliness and flourish found in every arrangement from Highgate Florist, ready to brighten homes and hearts alike.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
Presented against a clear white background, this abundant chrysanthemum bouquet appears as if it has just been finished by an experienced florist in Highgate, the colours and textures glowing in the soft studio light. The design centres on large, open chrysanthemum blooms in shades of pure white and creamy off-white, their numerous fine petals radiating out in gentle curves from subtle pale-green and buttery-yellow hearts, giving the arrangement a plush and cushioned look. Around and between them, sprays of smaller white chrysanthemums, daisy-like and airy, add intricacy and movement, their modest flowers creating a sense of lightness that keeps the bouquet from feeling heavy despite its fullness. Punctuating this sea of white are bold lime-green pompon chrysanthemums, perfectly round and tightly textured like little velvet buttons, their vivid tones echoing the fresh greens you might see on a stroll up to Hampstead Heath. Deep green foliage frames the base and edges of the bouquet, adding natural structure and a woodland richness that makes the whites appear even cleaner. All the stems are gathered into a hand-tied arrangement, neatly aligned and bound firmly with a wide lime-green satin ribbon at the base, shaped into a multi-looped bow whose sheen and colour resonate with the bright pompon mums above. The bouquet conveys a sense of quiet celebration and hope, ideal for sending best wishes on a new home near Highgate Wood, offering gentle comfort at a time of loss, or simply bringing an elegant piece of nature into a living room, office, or dining table where its soft whites and lively greens can be appreciated throughout the day.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
This image shows a beautifully rounded bouquet of mixed flowers, standing out clearly against a stark white backdrop that highlights every hue and detail. At its core, a cluster of fully opened roses in creamy white with a whisper of pale yellow creates a calm, elegant centrepiece; their petals fold inward in perfect spirals, giving the design its classic romantic character. Surrounding the roses, vibrant fuchsia-magenta chrysanthemums form a lively ring, their slightly frilled petals radiating around yellow-green centres that glow like tiny lanterns. Threaded through the richer colours are delicate sprays of tiny white daisies, much like chamomile, each with petite white petals and a golden yellow eye, bringing lightness, movement, and a hint of countryside charm to the bouquet. Subtle touches of deeper purple-pink chrysanthemum buds peek from between the flowers, adding visual depth and the sense of a bouquet still gently unfolding. A generous layer of fresh greenery supports and frames the blooms: rose leaves and broader chrysanthemum foliage give structure, while their deep green tones ground the brighter flowers. At the bottom, the stems are neatly aligned and tightly bound with a green and white checkered ribbon, giving the arrangement a handcrafted feel, as if it has just been tied in a small studio off Highgate Hill. The lighting is even and bright, enhancing every texture from the velvety roses to the crisp chrysanthemums, and creating a feeling of freshness and joy that would suit same-day delivery for celebrations, thank-yous, or house-warmings across Highgate and the surrounding north London neighbourhoods.
LOVELY DREAMER
£50.00
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A luxurious, rounded bouquet of hydrangeas is displayed against a clean white backdrop, the composition captured with the same care a Highgate florist might show when presenting a favourite design to a regular customer. At its core sits a large, cloud-soft mass of creamy white hydrangeas, the countless tiny florets forming a plush, tightly packed dome. Spilling out from this centre are generous heads of pale sky-blue hydrangeas, arranged towards the upper left and right; their petals show subtle shifts in tone, from gentle blue to soft white, echoing the changing light above Highgate Hill. Interspersed among these cool tones, delicate blooms of lime and chartreuse-green hydrangeas add brightness and vitality, especially visible in the lower left and upper right of the bouquet, evoking fresh growth in nearby Highgate Wood. Threading through and around the hydrangea heads is an abundant mix of foliage: rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves lend a contemporary, airy feel and a muted blue-green hue, while deeper emerald and forest-green leaves bring rich contrast and structure, gently framing the flowers. The stems are clearly visible at the base, gathered and tied in a traditional hand-tied style that suggests the bouquet is ready for a vase on a Highgate kitchen table or a mantelpiece overlooking Parliament Hill. Soft, even lighting gives a sense of calm, highlighting the textures of each petal and leaf without harsh shadows. The arrangement conveys serenity, thoughtfulness, and quiet celebration-perfect for birthdays, housewarmings, or simply bringing a breath of cool, elegant freshness into homes across Highgate and the surrounding north London neighbourhoods.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
Set against a bright white background, this mixed bouquet looks as though it has just been lifted from a workbench in a Highgate flower shop, every detail of the arrangement clearly visible. At its centre, several fully opened pink roses form a soft, romantic cluster, their petals gently overlapping to create a plush, almost cloud-like focal point. Threaded among them are bold yellow gerbera daisies, each bloom with a deep brown eye that adds visual depth and an unmistakably cheerful character, reminiscent of sunlight breaking through the trees on Highgate Wood's winding paths. Tall stems of blue delphiniums emerge from behind, their cool, saturated petals arranged along slender spikes that introduce height and a graceful line to the design. Surrounding the flowers is a generous mix of greenery: fine fern fronds that extend delicately from the edges, bright green soil-like filler flowers that create pockets of texture between the larger heads, and wide, glossy leaves that act as a rich green backdrop. Some of these larger leaves are folded and wrapped around the base of the flowers, forming a smooth, contemporary collar that conceals the supporting stems and adds structure. Slender, light green stems tipped with tiny buds stretch above the main cluster, conveying a sense of new growth and a bouquet that feels freshly gathered. Below, the straight stems are neatly bound together with neutral wrapping, tied in a simple bow that underscores the handcrafted nature of the design. The overall effect is one of joyful celebration with a modern edge, ideal for birthdays, congratulations, or deliveries to homes around Highgate Village and nearby streets off Archway Road.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
This hand-tied bouquet, set against a bright white background, feels like a carefully composed study in colour and texture from an experienced Highgate florist. At its heart, full garden roses unfurl in tones of blush pink, dusty mauve, and antique rose, the spiral of petals creating a soft focal point that immediately reads as romantic and refined. Encircling these roses, abundant carnations add frilly layers, their bi-coloured petals transitioning from creamy, almost porcelain centres to deeper pink and plum along the edges, giving the arrangement both depth and a sense of gentle movement. Punctuating the softer hues are deep indigo-blue flowers, some held tightly like tulip buds, others more open, bringing pockets of intense, saturated colour. A standout royal blue anemone with a dark centre sits near the lower front, anchoring the design with dramatic contrast. Slender stems of lilac and pale lavender stock rise through the bouquet, their small, clustered flowers introducing vertical lines that lighten the overall silhouette, as if echoing the tall trees and architecture around Highgate Village. The arrangement is wrapped in lush greenery: broad, dark green leaves and rounded silvery eucalyptus weave between the blooms, offering structure and the suggestion of a fresh, slightly herbal fragrance. At the base, the natural stems are gathered tightly and left visible, emphasizing the bouquet's hand-tied craftsmanship and readiness for same-day delivery around Highgate, from leafy side streets to flats overlooking Hampstead Heath. With its blend of romantic pinks, serene purples, dramatic blues, and vibrant greens, the bouquet feels equally suited to birthdays, anniversaries, or simply sending comfort and calm to someone nearby.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
With the ambience of a quiet Highgate morning, this floral arrangement comes alive through the florist's hands-each stem selected for the interplay of colour and texture. Soft blush gerberas blend with classic, delicate pink roses, their hues flowing together with the gentle movement of Hyde Park Avenue's early sunlight. Bright, expressive purple statice interrupts with delightful energy, adding contrast and vibrancy to the composition. The foliage is lush and cool, grounding the bright palette while hinting at the fragrant, leafy avenues for which Highgate is renowned. Arranged in a simple glass vase, the arrangement feels ethereal and luminous, as though holding a sliver of daylight from atop Highgate Hill. Suited for well-wishing, everyday adornment, or as a sophisticated accent to a dinner table, this bouquet embodies brisk freshness and hand-crafted care familiar to all who visit Highgate Florist. In every bloom, there is a palpable sense of optimism-mirroring the community's enduring sense of hope and tradition.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
Against a clean, white background, a generously rounded bouquet of pink, purple, and fresh green blooms is captured from above, as if you were looking down at it on a Highgate dining table set for a celebration. Soft blush roses form the main focal points, their petals gently unfurling from tight centres to looser, more open forms, with subtle shifts of colour from deeper pink at the core to paler tones at the tips. Nestled around them are large, frilled carnations in dusty rose and mauve, their plush, layered petals contributing a sense of richness and depth. Piercing upward through this cushion of softness are tall, slender spikes of deep indigo-violet Veronica, introducing sculptural lines and a hint of wildness that feels at home near Highgate Wood. Between these spikes, rich purple lisianthus blooms peep out, their bell-shaped petals and buds adding a velvety accent and a slightly dramatic contrast. Fine sprays of tiny, daisy-like flowers in soft lavender and periwinkle are woven throughout, giving a light, airy texture that softens the transitions between the larger flowers. The greenery is varied and lush: bright, chartreuse filler adds flashes of brightness, while cooler eucalyptus leaves and other foliage in muted greens provide a serene, grounding backdrop. The bouquet is tightly gathered at the base, with stems neatly aligned to show a hand-tied construction, ready for water in a glass vase in a Highgate home near Swain's Lane or Archway Road. The overall effect is one of elegant joy and thoughtful luxury, ideal for marking intimate milestones, sending congratulations, or lifting someone's spirits with fresh flowers delivered locally.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
Stepping into a Highgate home, imagine the bright welcome of this sun-drenched bouquet-sunflowers standing tall at its heart, their radiant faces wide and golden like the morning sun rising over Hampstead Lane. Encircling them, buttery yellow garden roses open in layered spirals, their velvety petals inviting gentle touch. Throughout, shimmering clusters of bright-red Hypericum berries are scattered, lending an unexpected spark to lush fields of green. Delicate fern fronds and spray of solidago arch playfully around the flowers, softening the shape and hinting at the breezy wildness found in Highgate's leafy lanes. Silvery eucalyptus leaves peek in from the background, their coolness balancing the bouquet's overall warmth. Arranged in a rounded, crystal-clear glass vase, the bouquet is grounded by the glossy stems visible within-its clarity a subtle nod to Highgate's sense of openness and welcome. The subtle scent carries memories of fresh gardens and lively parks, making this arrangement perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or everyday celebration-a joyful splash of Highgate's enduring spirit, delivered with local care and creativity.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
A dazzling bouquet of Gerbera daisies, brought to life by the artistry of Highgate's skilled florists, radiates vibrancy from its central place in a clear glass vase. The flowers themselves-sunshine yellow, vivid orange, and passionate magenta-are gathered tightly, their velvety petals forming concentric circles around deep inky centers. Hints of lush green foliage peek through, adding natural depth and echoing the greenery of Highgate's meadows and parkland near Hampstead Heath. The arrangement is carefully swaddled in a layer of rustic light brown kraft paper, giving it a touch of North London charm, and embraced by a clear, protective cellophane cone. Within the vase, water catches the light, cradling the neat stems and promising freshness upon delivery to homes along Highgate Hill or Muswell Hill. A piece of twine, knotted simply, fastens a white card featuring a delicate red rose sketch and a handwritten note-offering a glimpse into the personal care imbued in every Highgate Florist gift. Under diffuse studio lighting, the colours remain crisp and true, as if capturing the joy of a sun-drenched morning in Highgate. This lush, bountiful bouquet is ideal for celebrating milestones, sharing gratitude, or enhancing the serenity of a well-loved living room in the heart of the local community.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
Crafted with artistic precision by the team at Highgate Florist, this image radiates warmth and luxury, drawing the eye with an opulent bouquet set against a clean white background characteristic of Highgate's serene interiors. Dozens of roses in shades of coral, soft peach, blush salmon, and rose pink are densely packed and expertly hand-tied, petals flowing from creamy-yellow centres into deeper, more saturated edges. The arrangement breathes with lushness thanks to the dark, glossy leaves interspersed between the blooms-likely fresh eucalyptus or ruscus inspired by Highgate's verdant parks and lanes near Waterlow Park. The bouquet's fullness and vibrancy are complemented by a neatly positioned Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolate pouch in the lower-left: a light beige, rectangular package showing off the Thorntons name, "ORANGE CRISP" in bold type, and an illustration, while two luminous, real truffles rest invitingly in front. Their glossy, smooth finish suggests indulgence and comfort, the chocolates promising a zesty, crisp orange truffle inside. This composition feels celebratory, the perfect present for Mother's Day, anniversaries, or just-because occasions, thoughtfully reflecting both the craftsmanship and community spirit of local Highgate flower delivery.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
A lush, abundant bouquet sits against a crisp white background, reflecting the unique charm of Highgate. Large, plush hydrangeas in tonal indigo, teal, and muted purple form dramatic clusters that catch the eye- their colour reminiscent of that rare, dusky sky over Highgate Cemetery. Nestled amongst them are graceful roses, some a soft, powdery lavender, others a creamy white, their petals open in gentle spirals offering a tender sense of romance. Full, ruffled ranunculus blooms in white create soft, textured pockets within the composition, evoking a feeling of peaceful elegance. Stems of pale yellow lisianthus in both bud and blossom add vertical movement and a subtle brightness, threading among the larger forms. Scattered throughout, energetic fuchsia-pink filler flowers and feathery pink astilbe tips bring a playful contrast, reminiscent of spring blooms along Highgate Wood. Delicate, lacy green filler flowers-perhaps Ammi Majus-drift through, introducing fine detail and a subtle sense of wildness. Framing it all, glossy dark green foliage enhances the vividness of the blooms. Neatly tied and finished with a striking royal purple satin ribbon, the bouquet radiates expert craftsmanship synonymous with local florists. Thoughtfully created for special occasions-whether a celebration in Highgate Village or a heartfelt gesture along Muswell Hill Road-this bouquet captures both artistry and the gentle spirit of North London.
