Flowers

This is the whole fresh-flower range in one place — 326 bouquets, boxes, baskets and arrangements, all of them hand-tied in our own London studio rather than pulled from a warehouse. Everything here can go out today: order by 10 PM and it is delivered across London the same day, seven days a week.

Four ways this catalogue is sorted

Most people arrive here knowing one of four things — the flower, the colour, the occasion or the budget. The filters follow the same four routes, and each of them has its own page with its own selection.

By the flower. If someone has a favourite, start there: roses, peonies, hydrangeas, sunflowers, lilies and orchids each have a page of their own. This is also the most reliable way to buy: a single-variety bouquet reads as a deliberate choice rather than a mixed handful.

By colour. Useful when the flowers have to sit in a room you know — a hallway, a reception desk, a hospital bedside table. We keep white, red and pink as separate collections because those three carry the most meaning attached to them, and because they are the three that clash most easily with a room.

By occasion. Birthday, anniversary, congratulations, new baby and sympathy are not just labels over the same shelf — the sizes, the colours and the wrapping differ, because a bouquet that suits a birthday desk is the wrong thing to send to a funeral home.

By budget. If the number is fixed before the flowers are, the price bands are the fastest route; bouquets under £50 is where most first orders start.

What is actually on the shelf

Numbers rather than adjectives, because the range shifts through the year and the shape of it is worth knowing before you scroll eleven pages.

Of the 326 bouquets and arrangements currently listed, 42 sit under £50, 123 between £50 and £99, 42 between £100 and £149, 53 between £150 and £249, and 66 from £250 upwards. The smallest posies — a mini gerbera bunch, matthiola with eucalyptus — start at £29, the main hand-tied range begins at £39, and the largest piece in the catalogue is a collection of eight bouquets and two arrangements at £3,999, built for an event rather than a doorstep.

The practical middle is £50 to £100. That is where a bouquet stops being a gesture and starts being an object with presence in a room: enough stems for volume, enough length for a real vase.

The season decides more than the catalogue does

A flower shop that offers everything all year is either buying imports at any cost or substituting quietly. We would rather say what is good now.

Peonies are a British and Dutch early-summer flower; through the autumn and winter they come from further afield, arrive tighter and cost more. Tulips are the opposite — they thin out over the summer and come back properly from late winter into spring. Hydrangeas, roses, lisianthus, chrysanthemums, gerberas and matthiola hold up across the whole year, which is why they carry most of the mixed bouquets. Sunflowers peak from midsummer into early autumn.

If you are ordering for a fixed date months ahead — a wedding, a christening, a company event — it is worth asking us what will genuinely be at its best that week rather than choosing from a photograph taken in another season. That conversation goes through WhatsApp or the bespoke order form, and it costs nothing.

Bouquet, box, basket or vase — what the format changes

The same flowers behave differently depending on how they are presented, and the difference matters most when nobody will be at home to deal with them.

A hand-tied bouquet is the classic: stems wrapped in paper, cut fresh, needing a vase and water within an hour or two of arriving. It is the best value per stem and the worst choice for an office reception where nobody owns a vase.

A flower box or hatbox solves exactly that: the stems sit in soaked floral foam under the blooms, so the box can be put straight on a desk and topped up with a glass of water every couple of days. Nothing to unwrap, nothing to cut.

A flower basket works the same way but scales up — it is the format for a hospital ward, a hotel lobby or a condolence delivery, where the piece has to look finished the moment it is set down.

An arrangement is a structured piece built to a shape rather than gathered in the hand. And if the recipient would rather have something that lasts months than days, plants and potted orchids are on the same delivery run.

Getting it there, and what happens after

Same-day delivery runs across London seven days a week, including Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays, with the same range and no weekend surcharge. Orders are accepted until 10 PM. In central London a three-hour delivery is available; elsewhere in London it is same-day on the date you choose at checkout. To the rest of the UK bouquets go by courier and take two to three working days — see UK flower delivery for what travels well by courier and what we keep for London. The delivery rate and the free-delivery threshold are shown in your basket.

Checkout asks for the delivery date rather than a time window. A specific hour, an out-of-hours or midnight delivery and airport deliveries are arranged on request — leave it in the order comment or send us a WhatsApp message.

Before the courier leaves, our florist sends a photo of the finished bouquet, so anything that needs adjusting gets adjusted while it is still in the studio. After delivery, what happens next is mostly water: our flower care guide covers the cut, the vase, the room temperature and the varieties that need handling of their own. Flowers stay fresh for at least three days from delivery when the care instructions are followed; if they wilt sooner, send us a photo within those three days and we replace the bouquet. This is in addition to your statutory rights.

Buying fresh flowers in London — the questions we get asked

How much should I spend on a bouquet?

For a colleague, a thank-you or a get-well, £29 to £49 buys a proper small bouquet rather than a token one. For a birthday, a partner or a parent, £50 to £100 is where most of our orders sit and where a bouquet starts to fill a vase properly. Above £150 you are buying scale — stem count, length and rarer varieties such as garden roses or peonies out of season. That end of the catalogue is described in full on our luxury flower delivery page. Price here tracks the flowers themselves, not the wrapping.

What flowers are in season in London this month?

Roses, hydrangeas, lisianthus, chrysanthemums, gerberas and matthiola are dependable all year. Sunflowers run from midsummer into early autumn, peonies belong to early summer, and tulips return from late winter through spring. If a variety is out of season it is still often available, but it arrives tighter, costs more and is worth checking with us before a date you cannot move.

How long will the flowers last?

Three days is the minimum we stand behind; in practice a hand-tied bouquet kept in clean water, recut every couple of days and away from radiators and fruit bowls will usually run to seven days or more. Chrysanthemums, lisianthus and carnations outlast almost everything else. Peonies and fully open garden roses are the shortest-lived, which is the trade for how they look. The care guide has the detail per variety.

Can I send flowers to a hospital, an office or a hotel?

Yes, and all three are routine for us — but check the rules first, because they differ. Many hospital wards, particularly intensive care and maternity, do not accept flowers at all; a plant or a basket is often allowed where a bouquet is not. Offices and hotel receptions almost always prefer a box or a basket, since nobody has to find a vase. Add the ward, the floor, the company name or the guest's room number in the address field — a courier standing in a lobby with a first name has nothing to work with.

Can I add a message to the flowers?

Yes. There is no separate card field in the basket, so write the message in the order comment at checkout or send it to us on WhatsApp with your order number, and we will write it out and attach it. If you would rather the delivery came without your name on it, say so in the same place.

Can I have flowers and balloons delivered together?

Yes, if they are in the same order. Helium balloons are inflated in the studio and travel with the courier, so they cannot be added after an order has been placed and paid for — a second delivery would have to be arranged. Add them at the same time as the bouquet, or ask us before you check out. Chocolate, wine and a vase can be added to any bouquet as a hamper and sent as one delivery.

Do you deliver outside London?

Yes — across mainland Britain, to homes, offices, hotels, hospitals and event venues, by courier in two to three working days. Coverage is decided by postcode rather than by county. Structured arrangements travel perfectly well; what we keep for London is the open-faced and heavy-headed material — garden roses at full blow, heavy hydrangea heads, peonies at their peak. Details are on the UK delivery page.

Should I send a plant instead of cut flowers?

A plant is the better gift when the recipient will not be around to look after a vase, when the flowers are going to a workplace, or when the occasion is a move rather than a moment — a new home, a new office, a new job. Orchids and peace lilies flower for weeks and then keep going as foliage. Cut flowers are the better gift when the point is the gesture itself: they are meant to be at their most beautiful on the day they arrive. Both are on the plants page and both go out on the same London delivery run.
