What Is a Custom Bouquet?
A custom bouquet is a flower arrangement designed specifically to your preferences — your choice of flowers, colours, size, and style. Unlike ready-made bouquets, a bespoke arrangement from Floritta is created just for you (or your recipient), making it a truly personal and memorable gift.
Why Choose a Bespoke Flower Arrangement?
- Completely personalised — choose the exact flowers, colours, and style you want
- Perfect for any occasion — birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, corporate events, or "just because"
- Crafted by professionals — our experienced London florists bring your vision to life
- Unique every time — no two custom bouquets are identical
How Do You Order a Custom Bouquet in London?
Ordering a bespoke bouquet from Floritta is simple:
- Tell us your occasion, budget, and preferred flowers or colours
- Our florists will suggest arrangements based on seasonal availability
- We hand-tie your bouquet fresh on the day of delivery
- We deliver directly to you or your recipient across London
Can a Custom Bouquet Be Made to My Budget?
Yes. Tell us what you want to spend and our florists design within it — the same seasonal stems, scaled from a compact hand-tied bouquet to a large statement arrangement. Give us your budget and the occasion when you get in touch and we will come back with two or three options.
Popular Custom Bouquet Styles
- Garden-style bouquets — loose, wild, and romantic with foliage and seasonal blooms
- Structured round bouquets — classic, elegant, perfect for weddings and formal occasions
- Monochromatic bouquets — single-colour arrangements in white, blush, red, or purple
- Exotic arrangements — featuring tropical or unusual blooms for a dramatic statement
Design Your Own Bouquet: What You Choose, What the Florist Chooses
“Design your own” usually brings to mind a builder on a website where you drag stems into a vase. We do it as a short conversation instead, and it is quicker: you settle six things, and our florists work out the rest from what is actually at market that week.
- The flowers. Name the ones that matter and the ones to leave out — “no lilies” is as useful to us as “mostly roses”. Peonies, orchids and garden roses are what we are asked to build around most often.
- The colours. One shade, a soft blend, or a deliberate contrast. If the flowers are going into a room you know, the palette of the room matters more than the palette of the bouquet.
- Size and shape. A compact hand-tie, a tall statement piece for a hallway, or something low enough to talk across on a table.
- The personal detail. A ribbon in a particular colour, the recipient’s own favourite flower, an initial or a short word picked out in blooms, a keepsake tied into a wedding or anniversary piece.
- The season. Ask what is good this week before fixing on a flower. Seasonal stems arrive fresher, last longer and cost less than the same flower flown in out of season.
- The budget. Give us the figure first. It changes the scale of the design rather than the quality of it — the same stems, a different size.
What we decide is everything you should not have to: the proportions, the foliage, the mechanics that hold a large arrangement upright, and the substitution when a stem does not come off the market in the condition we want. The design is described back to you before anything is made, so nothing is a surprise on the doorstep.
Custom Flower Arrangements for a Table, Not a Hand-Tied Bouquet
Not every custom order is a bouquet. A large share of what we build to order is an arrangement — flowers set into a vase, a box or foam so that they arrive finished and stay where they are put. That is the right choice for a dinner table, a reception desk, a lectern or a hotel room, where nobody wants to be cutting stems and hunting for a vase on arrival. It is also the choice for a centrepiece, which has to sit low enough for people to talk across it.
The brief we ask for is a little different from a bouquet brief: the height and width the piece has to fit, whether it is seen from one side or from all round, and whether it stands for one evening or for a week. Ready-made versions of both are on the site — flower arrangements and flowers in a vase — and any of them can be rebuilt to your colours, size and flower list.
Custom Bouquet Questions We Are Asked Most
How long does it take to make a custom bouquet?
The making takes under an hour; the lead time is about the flowers, not the labour. If the design uses what is already in the studio, a custom hand-tie can go out the same day — order by 10 pm for London delivery. If it needs a particular stem, a particular colour of rose, or a quantity we do not hold, we buy it at market, which means naming the flower a day or two ahead. Anything large, or tied to a fixed event time, is worth a week.
Can I send a photo of the bouquet I want?
Yes, and it is the fastest way to brief us. Send the picture on WhatsApp and our florists will tell you what is reproducible this week and what is not — a photograph taken in another season, or abroad, often contains stems that are simply not at market here. What we will do is match the shape, the palette and the scale, and say in advance where the result will differ. That is better than delivering an approximation you were not expecting.
Do you make custom bouquets outside London?
Yes. Custom orders are hand-tied in our Southwark studio and go out by courier to the rest of the country, so a bespoke bouquet can be sent to an address anywhere in the UK — see UK-wide flower delivery for how that works. The difference is timing rather than design: London can be same-day, the rest of the UK takes two to three working days, so a custom order going out of town needs agreeing earlier in the week.
What is the difference between a custom bouquet and a bespoke arrangement?
In everyday use the two phrases mean the same thing — flowers made to your brief rather than taken off the shelf. Where florists do separate them, “custom” usually means an existing design changed to your colours, size or flower list, while “bespoke” means starting from the brief with nothing fixed: your occasion, your palette, your budget, and a design drawn for it. Both are the same conversation with the same florists here, and you do not need to use one word or the other to get the right thing.
How much does a custom bouquet cost?
The same as a ready-made bouquet of the same size — there is no design fee for building to your brief. The price follows the stems: a hand-tie of seasonal flowers costs less than the same shape in imported garden roses or orchids, and quantity does the rest. Most people work the other way round and give us a figure to design to. You see the price before we buy anything, and the catalogue is a fair guide to where a given size lands.
Can I design my own bouquet online?
There is no drag-and-drop builder on the site, and you do not need one — two lines of description get you a better bouquet than a form does. Send the occasion, the budget and the colours on WhatsApp (+44 7387 939120), by phone (+44 7458 683130) or to info@floritta.uk, add a photograph if you have one, and a florist replies with what they would make. For same-day delivery in London that conversation needs to start by 10 pm.
How do I personalise a bouquet for a specific occasion?
Start from what the occasion has to carry, not from the flower list. A birthday takes the recipient’s own colours and whatever flower they are known for; an anniversary usually wants the wedding palette repeated, and we can read it off a photograph; Mother’s Day is the one where a childhood favourite beats anything fashionable. Sympathy flowers are the exception — there restraint is the personalisation, and we keep the palette quiet unless the family asks for otherwise. Tell us who it is for and what they are like; that is more use to a florist than a list of blooms.
