Summer Collection
I arranged these flowers to balance gentle elegance with an energetic pop of colour, a style I often create for customers in and around Tooting Bec. Creamy white roses sit at the heart of the bouquet, their concentric, velvety petals opening with a soft perfume that feels crisp in cool morning air. Interspersed generously are vivid purple-pink Gerbera daisies whose striking, radial petals and dark centres give the design a lively, smiling character. Small sprays of Alstroemeria - Peruvian lilies in saturated purples and fuchsia tones, each petal sometimes freckled with darker markings - weave through the composition and introduce a delicate, fluttering movement. The foliage is intentionally abundant and varied: glossy broad leaves, a few narrower, sword-like blades, and lighter variegated pieces that catch highlights and create a sculpted, domed profile. A clear glass vase peeks into view at the bottom, its subtle shine grounding the bouquet against the bright white studio background and allowing the colours to read cleanly in photographs. This arrangement radiates joy and thoughtful restraint at once - perfect for cheering someone up, saying thank you, or adding a modern, floral accent to a dining table. For those local to the area, Toooting Bec Florist offers similarly styled bouquets for same-day delivery across Tooting Bec, Balham and nearby streets, crafted to feel fresh, purposeful and welcoming.
MESMERIZING HARMONY
£49.00
As I combine these blooms at Tooting Bec Florist, I'm drawn into the quiet beauty woven between pale blush gerberas and classic pink roses, reminiscent of the gentle palette found in the early morning skies over Tooting Bec Common. Each flower's pastel hue blends soft as watercolour, with the roses unfolding like whispers of affection-some still tightly coiled, others just beginning their graceful bloom. Spikes of rich purple statice punctuate the arrangement, offering both visual interest and a light, papery fragrance that playfully lingers. Fresh, cool greenery forms a lush base, grounding the airy composition with its abundant texture and invigorating, earthy notes. Sunbeams catch on the vase's transparent sides, highlighting the clarity and freshness of the water, as though the flowers were just gathered from an open meadow. The entire bouquet exudes optimism and gentle energy-a lovely gesture for recovery, celebration, or simply adding a touch of springtime brightness to a Tooting Bec living room. Designed with care near Upper Tooting Road, this arrangement embodies not just local expertise, but true joy in every considered detail.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
Presented in a crystal-clear glass vase, this vibrant arrangement of Gerbera daisies glows with the lively palette found in Tooting Bec's neighbourhood flower stalls. A generous cluster of sunshine yellow, bold tangerine, and deep magenta Gerberas radiate from the centre, each adorned with a rich chocolate-brown heart, casting subtle shadows onto softly layered greenery below. Enveloping the upper bouquet is a sheath of gently textured brown paper, its natural hues perfectly offset by a glossy cocoon of clear cellophane, reminiscent of the diverse textures and sights along Upper Tooting Road. The stems, visible in the sparkling water beneath, are cinched together by a rustic twine bow; from it dangles a neat white tag adorned with a red rose emblem, quietly suggesting the quality craftsmanship within. Every petal and leaf reflects a playful dance of light and shadow, hinting at a spring morning in Tooting Bec Gardens. This image, with its joyful interplay of colours and tactile materials, feels made for moments of celebration-birthdays, thank-yous, or for anyone seeking to bring the uplifting energy of fresh flowers and local flair into their home. The composition and finish evoke artisanal pride and attention to detail unique to Tooting Bec's beloved florists.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
A richly coloured, full-bodied rose bouquet is photographed against pristine white, its shape perfectly domed and abundantly floral. The eye travels from cheerful, lemon-yellow roses through layers of pink - from delicate blush to vivid magenta and bicolour pink-and-white edges - and rests in pools of deep red and burgundy that provide a dramatic counterpoint. Large, open hybrid tea roses display their layered petals like tiny gardens, while sprays of smaller roses and tightly furled buds add rhythmic contrasts and a sense of unfolding life. Dark, glossy foliage, likely ruscus or salal, is artfully interspersed and gives the composition a verdant, grounding frame that makes each hue pop. A striking red satin ribbon is tied at the base into a generous bow with long, flowing tails; a neat white gift tag tucked into the knot carries the words Happy Holidays, giving the piece a seasonal, heartfelt message. The petals catch the light with a soft, natural sheen and the arrangement seems to emit a clean, slightly citrus-tinged scent - bright and optimistic rather than heavy. The overall impression is joyful, luxurious and intimate, suitable for milestone celebrations, romantic gestures, or to bring warmth to a winter holiday table. It reads like the kind of bespoke bouquet created by experienced hands for delivery within the leafy streets around Tooting Bec Common and Upper Tooting Road.
CRAZY IN LOVE
£69.00
Presented with the quiet confidence of a neighbourhood arrangement, this bouquet in a clear glass vase features prominent, fully opened deep pink roses whose velvety petals graduate from soft blush toward vivid fuchsia rims. Interlaced are graceful white lily buds, many still snug and elongated while a few are starting to unfurl into trumpet shapes, offering subtle promise of scent and form. The mass of foliage around them-broad glossy leaves and delicate, lighter-green sprigs-creates a lush, living framework that makes the pinks and whites sing; small, darker burgundy or reddish-brown filler buds are scattered through the greens to add depth and a natural, garden-like edge. The clear tapered vase holds fresh water and reveals clean-cut stems, a detail that speaks to careful handling and freshness. Photographed on a neutral white field, the arrangement reads as bright and inviting, the light catching satin petals and glossy leaves. Speaking as a local florist familiar with Tooting Bec and nearby Balham, I imagine delivering this to a flat off Tooting Bec Road or a family home near the Lido: it reads as an ideal celebratory gift for birthdays, anniversaries or to say thank you. Available for local delivery across the neighbourhood, this bouquet-assembled with the same care you'd expect from Tooting Bec Florist-offers both visual elegance and a quietly uplifting scent.
CRUSH ON YOU
£65.00
The embrace of this bouquet brings together the colourful tapestry of Tooting Bec in springtime. Soft lavender roses, their petals just beginning to open, are artfully placed at the centre-each seems to carry the gentle warmth of first light falling across Tooting Common. They are circled by exuberant fuchsia Gerbera daisies with dramatic dark eyes, echoing the vitality of local flower stalls that fill Mitcham Road with colour. The bouquet deepens in mood with gathered clusters of magenta and plum-hued chrysanthemums, their velvety petals and yellow-green hearts drawing the eye with quiet intensity. Wisps of baby's breath float amidst the composition, creating a sense of lightness as if a gentle breeze were passing through. The foliage-a rich collection of deep, glossy greens-frames the ensemble and adds a touch of untamed freshness found in London's leafy southern parks. The flowers are cradled in a clear glass vase that reveals a unique cracked-texture finish, a subtle reminder of handcrafted artistry. A band of rustic raffia is knotted at the neck, delicately holding a simple blank gift tag perfect for a heartfelt message. This arrangement, presented against a pristine white background, radiates a sense of celebration and connection-perfect for a milestone occasion, or to offer comfort on a quiet afternoon in Tooting Bec. Every element reflects the skilled touch of a local florist, trusted for thoughtful, expressive bouquets delivered across the community.

£55.00
DEVOTION
DEVOTION
£57.00
This rich, hand-tied bouquet reads like a small garden gathered into one round, fragrant study of roses-an arrangement our team at Tooting Bec Florist would prepare for a neighbourhood celebration. Against a clear white backdrop the palette is gentle yet vibrant: roomy pastel-pink and creamy-white roses form the heart of the arrangement, some petals fully open to reveal soft, ruffled centers while others remain in exquisite bud form. Bright magenta-fuchsia roses bring lively accents that catch the eye, and a few lavender-hued roses introduce a soft purple counterpoint that keeps the composition fresh and modern. Nestled among these are clusters of tiny spray roses, cream with pale yellow undertones, which create a lovely architectural texture and create small pockets of light. The glossy, spear-shaped leaves-likely ruscus or salal-are artfully interspersed, their deep green tones anchoring the colours and adding a lush, natural depth. At the base, the stems are bound tightly and finished with a wide, lustrous baby-pink satin ribbon, its smooth surface and long tails lending a polished, affectionate flourish. Close your eyes and you can almost sense the light rose perfume and the silkiness of petals, a scent that would travel nicely across a flat on Tooting High Street or down to friends meeting near the tube. This bouquet feels celebratory, tender, and thoughtfully made-ideal for conveying love, gratitude, or congratulations in the local community.
GLAMOUR
£67.00
An elegantly composed bouquet captured on a clean white field, centred around a single, open creamy-white Oriental lily that draws the eye with its soft, waxy petals and mellow yellow stamens. Set slightly forward in the grouping, that lily reads as both emblematic and intimate; surrounding it are numerous lime-green and pale-yellow lily buds at varying stages of openness, a visual promise of blooms to come. Interspersed through the mass are velvety red rosebuds and small roses, their deep crimson tones offering classic romance against the lighter lilies. The arrangement is grounded in lush greenery: wide, dark green lily leaves provide a dense backdrop while long, feathery palm fronds tumble outwards for a sense of motion and line. Rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves are threaded in to introduce a cooler hue and a subtle, aromatic texture. All elements are arranged in a clear, cylindrical glass vase so the tidy green stems and the fresh water are visible-an intentional detail that suggests careful handling and immediate freshness. Picture this as a lovingly prepared piece for homes around Tooting Bec Common, Tooting Broadway, or Balham, ready for local delivery and to brighten a mantel or dining table. As with arrangements we regularly create at Tooting Bec Florist, it balances purity and passion-white lilies that speak of calm and reverence, and red roses that whisper affection-making it fitting for birthdays, anniversaries, or a thoughtful celebration of someone special in the neighbourhood.
INSPIRATION
£65.00
A lush, tightly packed bouquet of around two dozen pink roses is presented in a clear glass vase, photographed against a bright white backdrop that makes every shade sing. Each rose reveals a subtle gradient - a deep magenta or fuchsia heart that eases into softer blush pink and sometimes a hint of creamy white toward the petal edges - creating an overall impression of depth and warmth. The flowers are arranged close together to form a generous, domed profile, with rich green foliage tucked strategically to frame and lift the blooms. The glass vase narrows slightly in the middle, catching highlights, and the trimmed green stems are visible through the water, lending a sense of freshness and honesty to the composition. Imagine this bouquet sitting on a kitchen table after a delivery across Tooting Bec or balancing on a bedside table after a weekend stroll along Upper Tooting Road; the scent would be gently floral and slightly fruity, the petals soft to the touch. Lighting is even and bright, revealing the spiral centres of the roses and the delicate texture of each petal. This is an arrangement that reads as refined and approachable - suitable for Mother's Day, a heartfelt apology, or a small wedding centerpiece - and it reflects the kind of thoughtful, locally minded floral work people in Tooting Bec might expect from their neighbourhood florists.
LOVE IN THE AIR
£64.00
The structure of this pink-lilies bouquet is as bold as it is refined, captured in a studio composition that highlights texture, line and scent. A generous cluster of fuchsia and rosy-pink oriental lilies rises from a clear glass vase, each six-petalled flower unfurling into a broad, star-shaped face whose edges deepen to a saturated pink while the centres melt into a pale, creamy-yellow green throat with a delicate chartreuse glow. Prominent, dark burgundy anthers stand proud amid the filaments, dusted with pollen that signals the blooms' vitality. Around these open blossoms, several buds in varying stages-from tight, pale-pink tips to swollen, deeper-magenta forms with green points-add movement and the promise of continued bloom. The vase's transparency reveals tidy, trimmed stems and clear water, evidence of careful conditioning and traditional floristry technique. Rich, lance-like leaves frame the bouquet, their dark green sheen setting off the luminous pinks and giving the arrangement a sculptural presence. Soft, diffused lighting enhances the lilies' waxy texture and the suggestion of a lingering sweet fragrance, making this composition feel like a quiet invitation to pause. Locally minded, this style of arrangement is popular with customers around Tooting High Street and Balham who request long-lasting, elegant gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, or for brightening a small flat; it also photographs well for catalogue use or a tasteful mantelpiece display.
VIBRANT DELIGHT
£60.00
Picture yourself strolling through Tooting Bec Market and pausing to cradle this sumptuous bouquet-the velvet touch of each red rose, the gentle sprinkle of gypsophila like delicate London fog settling over the common.

Sturdy stems are gathered in a clear glass vase, immersed in fresh water for vibrancy, echoing the promise of long-lasting beauty so loved by our SW17 neighbours. The green foliage wraps around the composition, vibrant and glossy, infusing each stem with energy and grounding aroma like a breath of Tooting's urban gardens.
