RETIREMENT FLOWERS
Set against a clean, white background, this full, symmetrical bouquet appears almost to float, its colours and textures echoing the gentle charm of Great Bookham's village streets. At its heart, a pair of deep red roses draws the gaze, their tightly coiled petals rich and velvety, adding a note of classic romance and heartfelt emotion. Surrounding them, white daisy-like chrysanthemums form a bright collar, each with a vivid lime-green centre that pops against the white petals and gives the arrangement an uplifting, fresh energy. Threaded through this white ring are plentiful pink daisy-style blooms in soft to medium shades, from delicate blush to a more confident rose pink, all sharing those distinctive green centres which tie the colour palette together. Scattered among the larger flowers, clusters of tiny pale pink filler blossoms, reminiscent of waxflowers, lend an intricate, almost sparkling detail, as though a fine floral mist has settled over the bouquet. Deep and mid-green foliage supports the design, with broad, glossy leaves and smaller green accents peeking between the blossoms, providing depth and a sense of natural abundance, similar to the leafy paths near Bookham Common. The stems are cleanly cut and carefully bound, fanning slightly at the bottom to show their freshness and the skilled hand-tied technique. Bright, even lighting ensures that every petal and leaf is clearly visible, with no harsh shadows to distract from the arrangement. Overall, the bouquet feels joyful, calm, and sincere, making it a versatile choice for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, new beginnings, or simply brightening someone's home in Great Bookham with a burst of colour and gentle fragrance.

A lush, rounded bouquet of mixed fresh flowers is shown against a spotless white backdrop, every stem arranged with the quiet confidence of an experienced Great Bookham florist. The composition feels abundant yet carefully balanced, with no gaps between the blooms, just a continuous tapestry of colour and texture. Dominating the eye are fully opened roses tinted in a warm gradient, beginning with glowing golden yellow hearts and slowly shifting towards burnt orange and soft reddish-orange outer petals, as if catching the last light over nearby Bookham Common. Between them, white daisy-style chrysanthemums add a cool, airy counterpoint, their slim, tidy petals fanning out from luminous lime-green centres that bring an almost citrus brightness to the design. Threaded through this white and gold harmony are clusters of compact magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, whose tightly layered petals and yellow-green centres provide depth and a velvety richness, like small coloured lanterns scattered through the bouquet. Deep green, glossy leaves weave around the flowers, creating shadows and highlights that give the arrangement a natural, garden-picked character, while still clearly being a hand-tied gift. At the lower edge of the image, the freshly trimmed stems fan out neatly, revealing different shades of green and pale brown, ready to be slipped into a favourite vase in a home near the village centre or along Lower Road. The overall mood is one of cheerful elegance and heartfelt thoughtfulness, ideal for congratulating someone, saying thank you, or sending a radiant pick-me-up across Great Bookham.
BERRY BURST
£43.00

Captured against a backdrop of clean white, this vivid bouquet evokes the uplifting spirit of Great Bookham's lively community. From a softly overhead angle, the eye is drawn first to the inviting roses that crown the display, bathed in sun-kissed tones from gentle peach to brilliant orange. Their velvety petals, elegantly coiled, set the stage for the exuberance that follows-clusters of chrysanthemums, both snowy white and deep magenta, infuse energy and contrast into the scene. The white daisy-like varieties gleam with bright green hearts, reminiscent of dew-soaked lawns at dawn, while the purple chrysanthemums pulse with colour, their lime-green centres bright and playful. All are grounded by lush, glossy foliage, a tapestry of dark greens that envelops the arrangement like the mature trees that line Bookham's quiet lanes. A delicate loop of green bear grass gently arches over the bouquet, adding fluid movement and a contemporary touch. This gorgeous ensemble is luxuriously wrapped in orange cellophane, its warm, crinkled sheen echoing the fiery tones of the roses. Perfect for a milestone celebrated in the heart of Surrey, a cheerful 'just because', or a welcoming centrepiece for a Great Bookham kitchen table, the bouquet carries the joyful craftsmanship of a local florist passionate about every stem.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
Buy now
A lush, dome-shaped bouquet of chrysanthemums in white, cream, and vivid lime green is shown in sharp focus against a clear white backdrop, so every petal and leaf feels almost touchable. At the heart of the design are plentiful white and creamy-yellow chrysanthemum heads, each bloom layered with fine, overlapping petals that radiate from subtle greenish centres, creating a soft, cloud-like texture. Nestled between these are sprays of smaller, daisy-like white chrysanthemums, their petite petals and button centres giving a sense of lightness, as if the bouquet is gently breathing. Scattered thoughtfully throughout the arrangement are spherical lime green pompon chrysanthemums, their tightly packed petals forming plush, mossy buttons that lend a fresh, contemporary twist to the traditional white-and-green pairing. Deep green foliage surrounds and supports the flowers, adding a natural frame and depth similar to looking across the tree line on a walk through Norbury Park just outside Great Bookham. The stems are left long, cut cleanly, and expertly gathered at the base, where they are tied with a wide, glossy lime green satin ribbon. The ribbon is fashioned into a generous bow, its sheen catching the light and repeating the bright tones of the pompon mums. Everything about the bouquet suggests calm, clarity, and renewal, like early morning light over Bookham Common. It feels equally at home as a thoughtful sympathy tribute, a "thinking of you" delivery to a home off the High Street, or a fresh, understated centerpiece for a springtime celebration. The overall impression is of a florist-crafted design that is both comforting and quietly joyful.
LIME ZEST
£50.00

A lush, rounded bouquet of mixed flowers is captured against a pure white backdrop, every colour and texture clearly visible, as if resting on the counter of a Great Bookham flower shop before going out for local delivery. Dominating the design are several large roses in a soft cream that deepens to pale yellow toward their centres, the petals arranged in tight, elegant spirals that speak of classic romance and careful floristry. Nestled around and between them, vibrant fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums create a lively ring of colour, their densely packed petals framing eye-catching yellow-green centres, reminiscent of sunlit borders in gardens near Bookham Common. Scattered delicately throughout the bolder tones are clusters of tiny white daisies, likely chamomile or matricaria, each with a dainty ring of white petals and a sunny yellow disc, giving the bouquet a light, countryside freshness and gentle movement. Here and there, smaller buds of deeper purple-pink chrysanthemums appear, adding dimension and hinting at blooms still to come. A rich base of green foliage supports the flowers, with varied leaf shapes and textures adding depth and a natural, just-gathered look. The stems are drawn together at the base and tied with a green and white checkered ribbon, which feels both playful and traditional, echoing the charm of local Great Bookham markets and village fairs. Soft, even lighting highlights the bouquet's fullness without harsh shadows, making it feel fresh, joyful, and ready to be gifted for birthdays, anniversaries, or simple acts of kindness throughout Great Bookham and the nearby Surrey villages.
LOVELY DREAMER

This image shows an elegant hand-gathered bouquet of oriental lilies, the visual story told in a harmonious chorus of pristine white and saturated pink-magenta blooms against a crisp white background. The white lilies read as soft cream, with some flowers showing a whisper of yellow or green in their throats; their petals fold back into classic trumpet and star shapes to reveal stamens and delicate anthers. Interspersed are luxurious magenta lilies whose velvety petals carry paler veins and occasional creamy centres, offering beautiful tonal contrast. Several buds remain tucked among the opened blossoms, creating a sense of longevity and gentle movement as some flowers await their turn to bloom. The arrangement is punctuated with substantial dark green, lance-like foliage that provides structure and a deep, cooling backdrop to the warm petals. A clear glass vase sits at the bottom of the composition, its transparency exposing cut stems and clean water which quietly ground the display and announce the bouquet's freshness. Soft, even lighting enhances the tactile detail of the petals-silky, satiny and lightly translucent at the edges-while the overall impression is one of restrained luxury and heartfelt intent. As a florist who knows Great Bookham and neighbouring Ashtead and Fetcham, I picture this bouquet on a mantlepiece for Mother's Day, as a thoughtful anniversary gift, or as a bright, fragrant accent for a springtime celebration in the village.
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
Buy now
A full, rounded bouquet of hydrangeas and foliage fills the frame, set crisply against a spotless white background that makes every colour and curve stand out. In the heart of the arrangement is a large, creamy white hydrangea head, its many small florets packed tightly together, creating the impression of a soft, billowing cloud. Embracing this central bloom are generous clusters of pastel blue hydrangeas, placed high to the left and right, their petals tinted with subtle gradients that recall clear summer mornings above Little Bookham. Interwoven among them are fresh lime-green hydrangea heads, one tucked towards the lower left edge and another near the upper right, lending a bright, springlike energy. Surrounding and supporting the hydrangeas is a lavish collar of foliage: pale, silver-green eucalyptus leaves with their instantly recognisable rounded shape drift outward, adding movement and a cool tone, while darker emerald leaves, some broader and some more pointed, deepen the composition and make the flower colours glow. The stems, gathered firmly and neatly tied at the base, reveal this as a classic hand-tied bouquet, crafted to be placed straight into water on a hallway table or kitchen counter in a Great Bookham home. The lighting is even and gentle, with no harsh shadows, which helps the viewer appreciate the textures-from the velvety surfaces of the petals to the slight sheen on the deeper green leaves. The bouquet conveys a sense of tranquil luxury and considered design, ideal for thoughtful gifts, wedding flowers, or sympathy tributes delivered around Bookham Common and the surrounding lanes.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
Buy now
Set against a crisp white backdrop, this carefully composed bouquet feels like a burst of colour escaping from a Great Bookham garden after a soft spring rain. In the heart of the design, several pink roses open generously, their petals arranged in gentle spirals that suggest tenderness and affection. Nestled around them, bright yellow gerbera daisies with deep brown centres bring a bold, sunny energy, reminiscent of warm light spilling across the High Street in the late afternoon. Reaching upward, elegant stalks of deep blue delphinium add height and poise, their numerous florets forming slender towers of cool, almost violet-blue that balance the warmth of the roses and gerberas. The flowers are cradled in an abundance of greenery: delicate fern fronds peek out from the edges, adding movement and a feathery softness; rich, dark green leaves create a glossy backdrop that makes the colours appear even more saturated; and compact tufts of textured bright green filler give the arrangement a plush, rounded volume. Fine, pale green stems tipped with buds lift the eye higher, introducing an airy, just-emerging quality as if the bouquet were still growing. Around the base, broad, slightly striped leaves are wrapped artfully to form a smooth, sculptural collar, revealing the florist's hand in every curve. Beneath, the natural stems are pulled neatly together and tied with a pale wrap and simple bow, ready for same-day delivery to a home near Polesden Lacey or a celebration at a local Great Bookham café. The whole bouquet radiates joy, freshness, and an easy elegance, ideal for marking a birthday, a promotion, or simply brightening someone's day.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00

This image shows a romantic, hand-tied bouquet captured against a crisp white backdrop, its colours and textures unfolding like a painting created in a Great Bookham studio. Large garden roses in soft blush, tea-rose pink, and muted dusty mauve form the core of the arrangement, their petals opening in perfect spirals that suggest tenderness and timeless love. Around them, plentiful carnations add movement and volume, their ruffled edges dipped in deeper pink and plum tones that gently bleed out from creamy centres, giving a rich, almost watercolour effect. Threaded through the warmth of the pinks are dramatic accents of deep indigo and royal blue: some appear as sleek, elongated buds reminiscent of tulips, while a standout blue anemone with a nearly black centre sits near the front, grounding the palette with a sophisticated contrast. Slender stems of stock in pale lilac and soft lavender rise thoughtfully through the bouquet, their many tiny blossoms creating a light, airy feel, much like the soft breeze over the fields between Great Bookham and Little Bookham. Abundant greenery, including dark rose foliage and rounded, silvery eucalyptus, cradles the flowers and lends a fresh, subtly aromatic note. The stems are neatly gathered and visible at the base, clearly showing a skilled hand-tied finish typical of a local artisan florist. Together, the romantic colours, layered textures, and calm composition make this bouquet perfect for offering comfort, sending congratulations, or brightening a home along Church Road with an elegant, uplifting presence.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00

Creating this bouquet in our Great Bookham workshop, I am always struck by the harmonious dialogue unfolding between each flower. Blush-toned gerberas shimmer in the soft midday light, their circular petals forming delicate ruffles around pale centres. Nestled amongst them are classic roses, their petals in gentle pink spirals, some still coyly closed, others blooming with all the promise and tradition that roses bring. The unexpected vibrancy of purple statice pops through the arrangement, adding a whimsical energy reminiscent of wildflowers found along the edges of Norbury Park. Underneath it all, glossy green foliage anchors the composition, dewy and fragrant, suggesting a woodland freshness that is quintessentially Great Bookham. Set in a clear vase, the bouquet offers a sense of luminosity that catches the eye - the pastel shades melting seamlessly into one another like watercolours on a bright spring morning. Whether chosen as a thoughtful get-well gift delivered to a neighbour on Little Bookham Street, or brightening a living room with its inviting glow, this bouquet reflects the region's love of careful craftsmanship and the quiet joy of well-chosen blooms. Every detail, from stem to petal, embodies the dedication and gentle touch that defines our local floristry.
PINK DAZE
£49.00

A richly detailed, hand-tied bouquet is captured from a slightly overhead angle against a simple white background, so every nuance of colour and texture appears crisp, much like a carefully styled display in a Great Bookham village window. At its centre, soft pink and mauve roses form a romantic core, their petals curving outward in gentle spirals; some blooms are half-open with blush-toned hearts, while others are more fully unfurled, revealing intricate layers that look almost touchably soft. Interlaced with the roses are generous carnations in tones of dusty rose and purple-mauve, the edges of their ruffled petals creating a feathery, almost vintage feel. Standing elegantly above and between these rounded blooms, slender Veronica spikes in a saturated violet-blue bring height and a modern flourish, their upright shape reminiscent of wildflowers growing along the paths near Bookham Common. Around them float clusters of fine, daisy-like aster blooms in pale lavender and periwinkle, fresh and airy with small yellow centres that brighten the whole design. Deeper purple lisianthus flowers, some still in partially closed buds, add a subtle sense of depth and mystery, drawing the eye inward. The composition is framed by an array of lush greenery: playful bursts of lime-green textural filler, perhaps bupleurum or green trick dianthus, contrast beautifully with soft, silvery eucalyptus and other leafy foliage. Together they create a full, dome-shaped bouquet with neatly aligned stems visible at the base, clearly tied with professional care. This arrangement, thoughtfully crafted for delivery throughout Great Bookham, conveys warmth, elegance, and the gentle joy of giving flowers for birthdays, anniversaries, congratulations, or simply to brighten an everyday moment.

Radiating warmth and cheer reminiscent of a summer day in the heart of Great Bookham, this luxurious arrangement bursts with personality. Dominating the ensemble, towering sunflowers stretch their amber petals towards an unseen sun, their earthy centres echoing the rich grounds of the Surrey countryside. Nestled between them, buttery yellow roses unfurl in soft spirals, their plush texture inviting a closer look and brushing the senses with subtle, uplifting fragrance. Here, clusters of bright red Hypericum berries glisten like playful jewels, adding unexpected accents alongside the lush green foliage. Fern fronds trail delicately over the rim of the round, glass vase, suggesting natural movement-just as a gentle breeze might stir the gardens near Lower Road. Airy sprigs of solidago and hints of eucalyptus complete the landscape, offering both texture and complexity. The glass container, crystal-clear and fishbowl-like, showcases the lively stems submerged in water, reinforcing freshness and the artistry behind each carefully chosen element.

A stunning Gerbera daisy bouquet, alive with radiant color and captured in a moment of pure joy, offers a sense of celebration reminiscent of Great Bookham's festive village gatherings. Each flower boasts rich yellow, fiery orange, and intense magenta petals that radiate outward from dark, almost chocolate-brown centers. Interspersed amongst these lively blooms, fresh green leaves offer a backdrop of natural texture, deepening the sense of abundance and harmony.

As a local florist in Great Bookham, I often draw inspiration from our picturesque lanes and the gentle sophistication of our community, reflected in this generous gift set. Here, the bouquet is a visual symphony-roses unfurl layer by layer in a harmonious dance of peach, coral, and glowing pink, their petals soft and velvety to the touch, each bloom showing a painterly blend of blush, cream, and warm amber at the centre. The foliage, lush and glossy, envelopes the flowers like the green woodlands framing Bookham Common, intensifying the contrast and bringing the entire arrangement to vibrant life.

The golden script and illustrated truffles evoke the comforts of a luxurious treat, with two chocolate truffles in the foreground hinting at tangy orange and crisp wafer wrapped in glossy milk chocolate. This pairing is more than visual beauty-it appeals to the heart and senses, reminiscent of sharing laughter in local cafes or celebrating joyful milestones at home. The bouquet's layered colours and abundance echo the serenity found just off Lower Road or in the shade of the old beech trees, making this creation ideal for everything from anniversaries and birthdays to brightening someone's day with a thoughtful, uplifting present delivered around Bookham and the surrounding Surrey villages.

This captivating bouquet from a Great Bookham florist encapsulates both expert design and the tranquil essence of the village's green spaces. Dominating the composition are lavish clusters of indigo and teal hydrangeas, their voluminous forms conjuring images of garden borders near Norbury Park. Intertwined with these are full roses in soft lilac and creamy ivory, their petals gently unfurling and suggestive of shared celebrations along Lower Road. The contrasting forms continue with neat white ranunculus-dense with petal on petal-and pale yellow lisianthus that thread subtle lightness amongst the deeper hues. Dancing around the central blooms, feathery sprays of pale pink astilbe and petite, vivid pink waxflowers introduce joyful energy and a breezy, countryside wildness. Intricate green and white lace-like filler flowers, evocative of Ammi Majus found in local hedgerows, delicately connect each element, their translucent quality catching the light. Shades of deep green foliage anchor the display, bringing the composition together with freshness and vitality. Finished with a lustrous royal purple ribbon-tied securely and neatly at the stem base-the bouquet glows with sophistication.

TIMELESS VICTORIAN
£57.00
Buy now
A densely packed, hand-crafted bouquet shown on a crisp white background, its palette leaning into vibrant late-spring warmth: vivid yellows, deep pumpkin oranges, fresh chartreuse greens, gentle lavender and punchy blue-grey accents. Several yellow Asiatic lilies stand tall through the centre, some opened wide to reveal speckled petals and delicate stamens, others curled up as green-tinted buds that suggest growth and time to come. Two to three powdery lavender roses sit like quiet anchors amid the energetic colours, their scent soft and reassuring. Large orange Gerbera daisies break the surface with their broad, sunny faces, while clustered lime-green button chrysanthemums provide plush, textured volume that reads almost like living moss. Scattered throughout are small spherical, spiky orange and gold accents-Craspedia-like florets-that add playful pops and contrast with the smoother petals. Cool-toned Eryngium thistles rise at the bouquet's edges, their metallic blue bracts creating a contemporary graphic line against the surrounding warmth. Varied foliage - from glossy strap leaves to delicate filler sprays - knits the design together and gives it a sculptural, garden-fresh feel. This piece could be carried home from Great Bookham High Street after browsing the shops, sent to a neighbour recovering on Church Road, or chosen as a birthday surprise delivered the same day across the village. As a local florist I arrange each stem for rhythm and balance, ensuring the bouquet reads beautifully from every angle and carries the scent and presence of freshly gathered flowers.
TROPIC GETAWAY
£64.00

A composed, elegant floral design stands proudly in a transparent glass vase on a stark white backdrop, its balance of colour and form crafted with a local florist's eye. A dense, rounded crown of vivid blue hydrangeas commands immediate attention - their clustered petals feel plush and tactile, like deep velvet saturated with cobalt. Surrounding that core, fully opened creamy white roses add a comforting, familiar softness; each rose's layered, satiny petals fold inward with a tender geometry that soothes the gaze. Several pristine white calla lilies extend upward, their trumpet-shaped blooms providing a vertical rhythm and a sleek, refined silhouette that contrasts with the hydrangea's billowy mass. Slender white spires of snapdragon or stock thread through the upper layers, offering delicate points of interest and an heirloom garden note. A thoughtful mix of lush foliage - glossy broad leaves and lighter, ferny fronds - frames the flowers and adds a natural depth that speaks of careful hand-assembly. The clear vase displays the tidy stems and water, highlighting the care taken in conditioning the stems.
