BASKETS / POSIES
A carefully composed floral basket that reads as both joyful and quietly elegant: several clear-white Gerbera daisies with their striking dark brown centres form the bright, confident heart of the arrangement, each bloom poised and open to catch the light. Surrounding those are soft clusters of pale pink carnations whose ruffled petals create a plush, romantic texture and a delicate blush across the display. Interspersed throughout are numerous small daisy-like flowers in white and soft yellow - likely spray chrysanthemums or asters - which provide fullness and a sunlit, garden-fresh feel. Tiny sprays of violet-blue, star-shaped blossoms peek from the greenery, introducing a cool, playful spark that deepens the visual interest. The foliage plays an essential supporting role: rounded eucalyptus leaves in silvery-green lend a modern, calming scent and sculptural form, while glossy ruscus trails sweep outward from the left, creating a graceful cascade that softens the basket's edge. The handwoven wicker basket, light in tone, feels both homely and refined; a curved wooden handle frames the composition and invites the eye to travel across the arrangement. The bright, even lighting emphasizes the texture of each petal and the subtle veins in the leaves, making the bouquet read as fresh and uplifting. Crafted with local care, this design would suit a thoughtful gift, a serene table centerpiece for a Clerkenwell gathering near Exmouth Market, or a comforting gesture for someone in Farringdon; Clerkenwell Flowers would present it as a tasteful, versatile option for delivery across the neighbourhood.
ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU BASKET
£50.00
Let me guide you through this artfully arranged Florist Choice Basket, as if you were stepping into our Clerkenwell studio just off Exmouth Market. From a gentle overhead angle, an abundant mix of blooms and foliage spills in a soft, romantic cascade. The palette glows in pinks and creams with deep fuchsias punctuating the scene, while greens add freshness and depth. Dominant features include generous hot pink peonies with ruffled edges, delicate white ranunculus, fluffy pale pink hydrangeas, and classic blush-and-cream roses, all interlaced with pristine white anemones that carry their signature dark centers. Scattered among them are tiny white filler blooms and wisps of eucalyptus, lending texture and a woodland quiet to the display. The basket itself is a light, woven container, sturdy and gift-ready, with the handle peeking through the blooms like a hand offering a bouquet.In the middle rests a clean white square overlay with two font treatments: the elegant script of Florist Choice Basket and a crisp uppercase CHOICE - BASKET -, then the bold ?60 beneath. This piece feels handcrafted and intimate, ideal for celebrations or a compassionate gesture. As a local florist serving Clerkenwell, we at Clerkenwell Flowers stand behind this arrangement, offering same-day delivery to nearby streets and districts-Hatton Garden, Smithfield, and Old Street-so you can send beauty quickly to friends, family, or a loved one across the area.
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY BASKET
£60.00
A pristine, off-white woven basket with a tall curved handle rests against a spotless white backdrop, its subtle shadow adding depth, as if it were photographed in the soft daylight filtering across a Clerkenwell studio. Overflowing from the basket is a carefully sculpted mound of fresh flowers and foliage, designed with the quiet grace you might associate with a peaceful walk through Spa Fields. The focal point is a single, generously petalled creamy white rose, perfectly centered, its tightly layered swirl of petals suggesting calm, dignity, and tender remembrance. Framing this central rose, two rich purple calla lilies rise like elegant brushstrokes, their sleek trumpet forms and velvety texture bringing a sophisticated, almost architectural line to the display. Threaded between them are airy clusters of clematis-like blooms in hushed lavender and pale lilac, their star-shaped petals and soft yellow eyes giving the arrangement a light, drifting movement. Small, golden-yellow blossoms-reminiscent of freesia or alstroemeria-appear in bright, cheerful clusters, lifting the mood with gentle warmth, while a solitary magenta gerbera daisy on the right edge delivers a vivid burst of colour and hope. The flowers are supported by a generous mix of deep green foliage: broad, glossy leaves provide structure, while finer, lighter green sprigs add texture and softness, creating a lush, rounded silhouette. The whole composition feels like a comforting embrace, well suited for a funeral tribute, a memorial gathering near St John Street, or as a condolence gift delivered from Clerkenwell Flowers to show support when words feel insufficient.
TREASURED MOMENTS BASKET
£65.00
A refined funeral flower basket is pictured against a clean white backdrop, its pale wicker body and curved handle forming a soft frame for a cluster of carefully chosen blooms. The arrangement is rounded and lush, brimming with creamy white roses whose petals unfurl in generous layers, each rose like a small pool of light at the centre of the design. Interwoven among them are distinctive, star-like clematis blossoms in the gentlest lavender and periwinkle tones, their yellow-green centres glowing softly and adding a whisper of colour, never overpowering the restful mood. Around these focal flowers, smaller white and pale yellow freesia-style blooms weave through the composition, some buds still closed tight, others just opening, suggesting the unfolding of memory and the continuity of life. Fine white filler flowers, possibly lisianthus, bring a cloud-like softness that contrasts with the clean, structured form of the basket. Deep, glossy greens and more delicate, lighter foliage spill outward and upward, creating a natural cradle that makes the flowers appear freshly gathered from a quiet garden along the back streets of Clerkenwell. The lighting is even and gentle, allowing every petal edge and leaf vein to be clearly seen without harsh shadow. The overall impression is of understated elegance and heartfelt care, the sort of sympathy basket that might accompany a family to a service near Farringdon or rest in a living room overlooking Clerkenwell Green, offering a steady, comforting presence at a time of loss.
PEACE & PURITY BASKET
£65.00
A softly lit funeral flower basket is presented against a pure white background, its pale wooden frame and curved handle evoking quiet simplicity and peace. The oval basket, raised discreetly on small feet, cradles a dense, rounded composition of creamy white, deep red, and blush pink blooms, carefully arranged to suggest both abundance and calm reflection. At the heart of the display, several creamy white roses open fully, their layered petals smooth and velvety, like folded silk, symbolising remembrance and the purity of cherished memories. Interwoven with them are rich red carnations, their pleated petals forming ruffled rosettes that bring a sense of warmth and enduring love to the tribute. Scattered throughout are lighter pink and bi-coloured carnations, some with white centres and finely edged petals painted in red, which gently bridge the deep crimson and pale cream tones. Fine sprays of small white flowers, probably freesias, arc gracefully among the larger blooms, suggesting a soft, subtle fragrance that speaks of quiet comfort during a difficult goodbye. Around the edges and beneath the blossoms, a generous collar of dark green foliage, such as salal or ruscus, adds structure and contrast, while wisps of fern-like greenery emerge here and there, lending movement and a natural, garden-like feel. Created with the thoughtful care of a local Clerkenwell florist, this arrangement would sit beautifully beside a casket, at a crematorium near Farringdon, or on a memory table in a funeral home, offering a gentle expression of sympathy, respect, and support to grieving families across Clerkenwell and the surrounding EC1 streets.
REMEMBRANCE BASKET
£60.00
A round, lavish bouquet sits against a pure white background, the simplicity of the setting drawing attention to the intricate floristry and layered textures of the flowers. At first glance, clusters of garden roses in soft pink, warming yellow, and creamy peach create a plush, cloud-like dome, their ruffled petals opening in delicate spirals. Tucked among them, pale lavender and white clematis stretch out star-shaped petals, each centered with a sunburst of yellow stamens that brings a touch of light and movement. Rising through the softer blooms are distinctive blue eryngium, the sea holly's spiky, steel-blue heads adding an unexpected, contemporary edge, almost like a piece of modern sculpture displayed in one of Clerkenwell's gallery spaces. Deeper notes of colour appear in the form of rich purple lisianthus, some still in tight, promising buds, others gently unfolding, contributing a velvety contrast. Dotted between the petals are clusters of glossy red hypericum berries, their rounded shapes echoing the fullness of the bouquet while adding a cheerful, almost festive accent. The entire arrangement is cradled by a tapestry of foliage: broad, polished green leaves; finer, fern-like greens; and subtle hints of dark, wine-toned foliage that give the bouquet depth and shadow. The composition suggests a bouquet carefully crafted for a celebration in a Clerkenwell loft or a special delivery to an office near Farringdon, radiating joy, gratitude, or quiet romance. Every element feels intentionally placed, reflecting the eye and touch of a skilled local florist used to creating designs that feel both luxurious and naturally gathered.
ETERNAL MEMORY POSY
£100.00
From a bird's-eye view this pristine circular bouquet reads like a soft, white halo: several large, elegant white oriental lilies unfurl their trumpet-shaped petals to reveal pale green stamens, while a gathering of creamy ivory roses in bud and partial bloom creates a plush, layered texture beneath them. Interwoven throughout are delicate clouds of Baby's Breath (Gypsophila), their tiny white florets catching the light and adding an airy, almost snowfall effect that fills the bouquet without competing with the main blooms. Small bright green leaves edge the composition, providing a fresh visual punctuation that emphasizes the round, densely packed form. The overall tone is serene and refined; the even studio lighting highlights the lilies' satin sheen and the roses' velvety folds, and one can almost imagine the soft fragrance - a subtle sweetness balanced by the lilies' clean scent. This arrangement feels perfect for moments that call for calm dignity: a wedding ceremony, a christening in a quiet church near Farringdon Road, or an elegant sympathy tribute. As a local florist familiar with Clerkenwell and the nearby Smithfield area, I would recommend this bouquet for clients seeking classic white florals delivered with care across the neighbourhood; its balanced composition and gentle hues convey purity, hope, and understated sophistication without fuss or excess.
COMPASSION POSY
£90.00
Set against a clean white backdrop, this lavish, domed bouquet feels like a captured moment of quiet celebration, the kind a Clerkenwell florist might prepare for a cosy gathering on St John Street. The eye is first drawn to the generous white lilies, their trumpets fully open, with satiny petals that curve elegantly and reveal soft green centres and gently dusted stamens. Around them, roses in gentle blush pink and warm cream are tucked closely together, some still curled in tight buds, others fully expanded into layered, velvety rosettes that speak of romance and devotion. Threaded between these classic blooms are bold fuchsia Oriental lilies, possibly Stargazers, their petals saturated in deep pink and sprinkled with darker speckles, each flaring outward to bring drama and energy to the design. Fine sprays of white baby's breath drift through the arrangement like tiny stars, filling every gap and giving the bouquet a light, cloud-like halo. Occasional flashes of deep green foliage from lily and rose leaves help to balance the colour palette and highlight the softer shades. The bright, even lighting emphasises every texture-from the smooth lily petals to the feathery gypsophila-creating a sense of freshness as if the bouquet has just been arranged on a workbench near Clerkenwell Green. This composition feels ideal for heartfelt occasions: a romantic surprise delivered to a loft apartment by Farringdon Station, a special birthday dinner along Exmouth Market, or a graceful centerpiece for a small ceremony in one of Clerkenwell's converted warehouse venues.
CHERISHED MOMENTS POSY
£90.00
Set against a stark white surface, this compact, rounded arrangement unites soft pink roses and pristine white freesia into a serene, tactile composition that reads both classical and intimate. The larger pink roses-some in full, sumptuous bloom, others just beginning to unfurl-sit as the arrangement's anchors, their petals velvety and layered in shades from pastel blush to warmer salmon. Intermingled are smaller spray roses and tiny white filler blossoms that add depth and a delicate scale, while clusters of white freesia rise with their trumpet-like blooms; a few open to reveal pale yellow stamens and a subtle, citrusy perfume that lifts the bouquet's quiet sweetness. The rich backdrop of deep green foliage-broad glossy leaves likely ruscus or salal-forms a lush base, and variegated leaves with creamy edges weave through the mass to catch light and introduce soft contrast. The florist has hidden stems completely, producing a smooth, domed silhouette that feels polished yet natural, as though gathered from a calm London morning. Soft, diffuse daylight sculpts the arrangement, accentuating petal texture and the gentle interplay of pink and white. Visually, this piece would sit well on a mantel in a Clerkenwell flat off Farringdon Road or as a thoughtful tribute placed near the rose beds of Spa Fields Park, conveying consolation, gentle affection, or celebratory tenderness. Its craftsmanship suggests careful handling and local knowledge of seasonal blooms, a comforting floral statement for moments of memory and quiet celebration.
HEARTFELT SYMPATHY POSY
