BASKETS / POSIES
A carefully composed basket of blooms, captured in clear, natural light to show each texture and tone: a light-coloured woven willow basket with a rounded brown handle holds an elegant mix of white and blush flowers that feel both fresh and consoling. The arrangement is anchored by several immaculate white Gerbera daisies, their broad, luminous petals surrounding deep brown central discs that draw the eye and give the piece a dignified focal point. Soft pink carnations, arranged in clustered groups, add a frothy, romantic volume and a tactile contrast to the sleeker gerbera petals. Interspersed among them are small, cushiony spray chrysanthemums or asters in white and pale buttery yellow, filling gaps and enhancing the sense of generous abundance. Scattered sprigs of tiny lavender-blue star-shaped flowers offer a cool accent, while a varied palette of foliage - rounded silvery eucalyptus leaves with their subtle aroma and glossy, darker ruscus draping from the left - frames the blooms and creates movement. The whole display sits with a refined, rustic charm that suits many occasions: a caring sympathy tribute, a thoughtful get-well gift, or an understated celebration. Prepared with local care by Flowers St Luke's, this basket reflects neighbourhood sensibilities around St Luke's, Old Street and Exmouth Market, where hand-tied gracefulness and seasonal freshness are appreciated.
ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU BASKET
£50.00
Picture a sunlit overhead view where the Florist Choice Basket spills a rich chorus of colour and texture. The blooms unfold in soft pinks, creamy whites, and deep fuchsias, set against a whisper of sage greens and eucalyptus. Dominant hot pink peonies crown the arrangement, their petals ruffled like satin, while white ranunculus coil into delicate spirals beside fluffy pink hydrangeas that resemble clouds. Roses in blush and cream offer a classic note, and white anemones with nearly black centers provide a sharp focal point. Interlaced among these are tiny white filler flowers and slender stems of greenery that catch the light and add depth. The basket itself-woven, pale, sturdy-offers a rustic yet refined cradle for the display, with a portion of the handle peeking through the floral mass. A crisp white square overlay sits at the center, bearing the title Florist Choice Basket in a flowing script and the price ?60 in a bold sans-serif. The overall mood is celebratory and intimate, perfect for romance or heartfelt congratulations, and in St Luke's it becomes a thoughtful gift for a friend or loved one, delivered with the same care as a personal hand-tied bouquet from a local studio. When opened, the arrangement releases a soft, fresh scent that hints at eucalyptus and garden blooms, inviting the recipient to linger a moment longer with the flowers in bloom.
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY BASKET
£60.00
In this elegant funeral arrangement, a pale woven basket with an arched handle is filled to overflowing with fresh blooms, placed against a bright white background that makes every nuance of colour and texture stand out. The design has a rounded, carefully composed silhouette, echoing the embrace of family and friends gathering around a loved one in St Luke's. At its heart, a creamy white rose opens in soft, layered swirls, symbolising purity, remembrance, and enduring affection. Tall, velvety calla lilies in a deep purple shade curve gently above the rose, their sculpted trumpet forms adding a refined, almost sculptural presence that feels fitting for a chapel or crematorium service nearby. Around them, star-like clematis flowers in lavender and pale lilac are threaded through the greenery, their slender petals and soft yellow centres giving the arrangement an airy, comforting lightness. Small clusters of yellow and white blooms, reminiscent of freesia or alstroemeria, tuck into the spaces between the larger flowers, adding subtle fragrance and a tender brightness that never feels overpowering. To the right, a single fuchsia or magenta gerbera-style flower appears, its radiating petals like a quiet celebration of the life being honoured. Lush green foliage, from broad glossy leaves to delicate, lighter tendrils, creates a richly textured base that holds all the colours in harmony. The gentle shadow cast by the basket grounds the image, suggesting a piece lovingly set down on a table in a St Luke's home or at a local memorial gathering, offering a message of peace, respect, and heartfelt sympathy.
TREASURED MOMENTS BASKET
£65.00
A softly lit funeral basket arrangement is captured against a clean white background, making the gentle pastel flowers appear almost luminous. The basket itself is a light cream or white wicker, woven tightly with a subtle sheen, and finished with a tall, matching handle that curves smoothly from side to side, giving the piece a sense of structure and calm. Inside, the flowers are densely packed in a domed shape, much like the careful, considered displays you might see in long-established florists around St Luke's. Creamy white roses form the anchor of the design, each bloom fully opened so that its layered petals look plush, almost like folded silk. Between the roses, pale lavender clematis flowers stretch out their star-shaped petals, slim and slightly pointed, surrounding vivid yellow-green centres that draw the eye in and add delicate contrast. Smaller flowers, reminiscent of white and pale yellow freesia and similar blossoms, weave through the design, some just beginning to open, others in full, ruffled bloom. Their light fragrance is suggested by their fresh, dewy appearance, as if they were gathered early in the morning. Rich, dark green foliage curves around the base and sides, its glossy surfaces catching the light and giving depth to the overall palette. The mood of the arrangement is one of quiet reflection and tenderness, ideal for a funeral or a remembrance service near St Luke's, where people gather to share memories and offer support. This is a basket that speaks softly of love, farewell, and gentle consolation, the kind of tribute a family might choose when they want beauty without excess, and comfort without words.
PEACE & PURITY BASKET
£65.00
A light, natural wood basket with a smooth, curved handle takes centre stage in this image, cradling a full funeral flower arrangement that feels at once dignified and comforting, as if prepared for a quiet service near St Luke's. The basket is gently oval with small, almost hidden feet, lending it a subtle refinement. From it rises a rounded mound of flowers, carefully composed so no single stem dominates. Creamy white roses open fully across the top, their layered petals soft and slightly luminous, like little pools of calm amid the colour. Around them, deep red carnations cluster in generous groups, their ruffled, velvet-like petals creating a rich, almost tapestry-like texture. Interspersed among the stronger reds are tender pale pink and bi-coloured carnations, some edged with red, which soften the palette and introduce a sense of tenderness and affection. Delicate white blooms reminiscent of freesias emerge on slender stems, their bell-shaped flowers and tight buds adding rhythm and movement, as if the piece is still gently growing. A bed of lush greenery anchors it all: broad, shiny leaves build a dark green border at the base, while finer fern-like fronds and wispy sprigs lift from the top and sides, giving the arrangement breath and lightness. The flowers appear freshly cut, with crisp edges and vibrant hues, and the clean white background ensures every nuance of colour and texture is clearly visible. This basket reads as a thoughtful sympathy tribute, something a local family in St Luke's might choose to honour a loved one, offering warmth, respect, and a sense of peaceful farewell.
REMEMBRANCE BASKET
£60.00
A richly detailed round bouquet sits centre stage against a bright white backdrop, its many flowers forming a perfect dome that appears almost to glow. The arrangement is thoughtfully composed, like something prepared in a trusted St Luke's flower shop on a busy market day, with every stem placed for balance and movement. Plump garden roses in shades of blush pink, mellow yellow, and soft peach create the main body of the design, their ruffled petals unfolding in spirals that feel both romantic and timeless. Scattered among them, delicate clematis blooms open their star-like petals in tones of pale violet and white, each one with a sunny yellow heart that draws the eye inward. Cool-toned blue eryngium thistles rise up with spiky, steel-blue heads, lending a slightly wild, contemporary character that contrasts beautifully with the roundness of the roses. Deep purple lisianthus, some still tightly furled, others gently opening, add a velvety richness and subtle sense of movement as they curve between the larger flowers. Bright red hypericum berries cluster in small groups, their glossy round shapes catching the light like droplets of colour. Surrounding it all is a lush mix of greenery: polished, deep green leaves, softer feathery sprigs, and touches of darker, almost wine-coloured foliage that give depth and shadow. The bouquet feels fresh and just-crafted, as if it has come straight from a local St Luke's studio for same-day delivery to a celebration, a birthday dinner, or a quiet moment of appreciation. The overall impression is of gentle joy and considered elegance, a snapshot of nature's abundance carefully gathered into one harmonious design.
ETERNAL MEMORY POSY
£100.00
From an overhead view on a pristine white background, this compact, round bouquet presents an artful union of pristine white lilies and creamy rosebuds threaded with feathery Baby's Breath. The lilies dominate with wide, trumpeting petals and pale green stamens that draw the eye to each blossom's soft throat; interspersed among them, the ivory roses remain mostly in tight or half-opened forms, their velvety petals folding inward like whispered vows. Tiny clusters of Gypsophila fill the gaps, creating a cloud-like texture that lightens the arrangement and lends a romantic, bridal quality. Small bright green leaves edge the composition, offering a hint of freshness against the sea of white and cream. The overall impression is luminous and calm, captured in diffused overhead lighting that emphasizes petal detail and the bouquet's perfect roundness. Close your eyes and you might sense the lilies' subtle sweetness blended with the powdery warmth of roses, a fragrance suited to weddings, christenings, or occasions of gentle consolation. This piece is the sort of arrangement we craft regularly for neighbours around St Luke's, Old Street and Exmouth Market, and Flowers St Luke's sometimes prepares similar styles for local deliveries - chosen for their timeless purity and serene presence at both celebrations and quiet remembrances.
COMPASSION POSY
£90.00
A lush, hand-tied bouquet brimming with lilies and roses is photographed against a clean, white backdrop, as if resting on a bright counter in a St Luke's flower studio just off City Road. The arrangement forms a generous, rounded dome of blooms, its fullness created by layers of pristine white lilies whose long, graceful petals curl slightly at the tips, revealing subtle green centers and pale stamens. Between these star-shaped blossoms, clusters of soft blush pink and creamy white roses add a romantic, velvety texture, each bloom at a different stage-from shy, tightly wrapped buds to open rosettes with intricate, spiralling petals. Punctuating this gentle palette are several striking fuchsia or magenta Oriental lilies, similar to Stargazer lilies, whose boldly colored petals are flecked with darker speckles and ring bright yellow anthers, drawing the eye to the heart of the bouquet. Fine sprays of white baby's breath thread throughout, their tiny, cloud-like flowers softening the composition and giving it a light, airy veil that contrasts beautifully with the substantial lilies and roses. Glimpses of fresh green foliage and slender lily buds ensure the design feels alive and just-cut, the kind of bouquet that might be delivered for a proposal dinner near St Luke's Church or a milestone birthday celebration in a nearby loft. Bright, even lighting highlights every contour and petal edge, making the arrangement appear crisp, dewy, and inviting. Overall, the bouquet radiates tenderness and joy, perfect for romantic gestures, wedding anniversaries, or any special occasion where heartfelt emotion is meant to take centre stage in the St Luke's area.
CHERISHED MOMENTS POSY
£90.00
A refined dome-shaped arrangement of pale pink roses and crisp white freesia, photographed on a pristine white surface so every texture and hue is clear. At the heart of the composition, romantic pink roses range from open, ruffled faces to smaller, more demure spray roses that create tonal layering across the cushion-like form. Between them, upright stems of white freesia add vertical punctuation - their trumpet-like petals and occasional pale yellow stamens offering a hint of fragrance and a brighter accent among the soft pinks. The greenery is abundant but controlled: glossy, dark green leaves provide a steady foundation while variegated cream-edged foliage slips through the blooms with a lighter, lively edge, enhancing the arrangement's refined contrast. Nothing of the mechanics shows; the floristry is tight and polished, intended to read as an elegant tribute. Soft natural lighting bathes the flowers, revealing velvety petal surfaces and the gentle gradient of pink from blush to warmer coral tones, producing a comforting, intimate effect. This bouquet's tone is respectful and consoling, often chosen for memorial services, hospital visits, or as a caring get-well gift. Local clients in St Luke's and surrounding Clerkenwell have requested similar pieces for quiet family gatherings and church services on Old Street, praising the way the colours and scent settle into a room without overpowering it.
HEARTFELT SYMPATHY POSY
