RETIREMENT FLOWERS
A luxuriously full bouquet rests against a plain white backdrop, allowing every colour and petal to stand out with clarity. At the heart of the design, two rich red roses rise slightly above the surrounding blooms, their tightly curled petals forming perfect spirals that speak of romance, gratitude, or deep appreciation. Around them, white daisy-like chrysanthemums with bright lime-green centres form a cheerful ring, their crisp petals catching the light and giving the bouquet an airy, open feel. Interspersed throughout are clusters of pink chrysanthemums in gentle pastel to mid-pink tones, each with the same striking green centre, adding warmth and a sense of quiet celebration. Sprays of tiny pale pink waxflowers weave through the composition, lending an intricate, almost frothy texture that softens the transitions between the larger blooms. Verdant foliage, from broad, dark green leaves to lighter sprigs, frames and supports the flowers, making the reds, whites, and pinks appear even more vivid, as if freshly arranged in a Totteridge Florist workshop just off the calm residential streets. The stems are visible at the base, neatly trimmed and tied, clearly marking this as a classic hand-tied bouquet ready for a vase on a Totteridge kitchen table overlooking the trees. The bouquet's rounded shape and balanced colour palette create a feeling of harmony and comfort, suitable for same-day delivery to mark milestones, offer congratulations, or simply bring a touch of nature's beauty into a home near Totteridge Lane or the surrounding countryside paths.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
This photograph captures a hand-tied mixed bouquet arranged in a full, domed shape and showcased against a clear white backdrop, emphasizing its vibrant palette and expert composition. Several large, fully bloomed roses dominate the centre, their petals shifting smoothly from sunny yellow at the core to a rich, glowing orange with hints of red at the slightly curled outer edges, like the last light over Totteridge's gardens on a summer evening. Around them, clusters of neat white daisy chrysanthemums create a fresh, clean halo, each bloom defined by a vivid lime-green centre that seems almost to glow against the pale petals. Interwoven between these lighter elements are plentiful magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, their tightly packed, multi-layered petals forming velvety, cushion-like heads. Their yellow-green centres mirror the daisies, unifying the design and adding a sense of rhythm as the eye moves across the bouquet. Dark, polished greenery slips in and out between the blossoms, offering a rich, natural backdrop that deepens the colours and provides visual rest. The stems at the base are clearly gathered and trimmed in an even line, underscoring the professional, hand-crafted nature of the arrangement and its readiness for delivery anywhere in Totteridge, from quiet residential roads to homes near Totteridge & Whetstone station. The lighting is bright and even, revealing every curve, fold, and subtle colour gradation. This bouquet radiates happiness and warmth, making it an ideal floral gift for marking anniversaries, congratulating new homeowners, or bringing a burst of colour and fragrance to a dining table in one of Totteridge's spacious family homes. Its combination of sunny, fiery, cool, and jewel-like tones creates a balanced yet exuberant mood.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
This radiant bouquet is the essence of Totteridge charm, captured in glorious colour and texture beneath soft, natural light. Swirling peach and amber roses take center stage, their petals glowing with an inviting luminosity, while playful chrysanthemums dance around them. Some display snowy white petals with bright green hearts-reminiscent of daisy patches on quiet walks through Totteridge Valley-while others bring a bold contrast with extravagant magenta-purple petals and lively lime-green centers. Glossy green foliage, lush like the hedgerows near Totteridge Lane, interlaces the blooms and imparts a sense of abundance, while a wisp of bear grass lightens the arrangement with an arching flourish, hinting at the contemporary flair Totteridge Florist brings to classic English style. The stems are artfully encased in vivid, crinkled orange wrapping, an ode to cheerful sunset skies over local fields. Designed for thoughtful gifting or as a dramatic centerpiece, this bouquet exudes celebration and connection, conjuring memories of laughter and cherished gatherings unique to Totteridge's welcoming community. Every detail reflects the care and artistry of experienced hands, ready to brighten a loved one's day, whether delivered to a doorstep near Totteridge Common or as a centrepiece for shared family moments.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
Against a clean white backdrop, this chrysanthemum bouquet exudes the gentle elegance of a Totteridge garden just after rain, thoughtfully composed as if by an experienced local florist. The arrangement is tightly gathered into a hand-tied dome, dominated by large white and creamy chrysanthemums whose layered petals open generously from soft green or pale yellow centres, creating plush, full blooms that suggest comfort and tradition. Nestling in between are clusters of smaller white spray chrysanthemums, their daisy-like faces bringing a lighter touch and adding a delicate, almost lacy texture to the mass of petals. Bright lime green pompon chrysanthemums are scattered throughout, perfectly spherical and densely petalled, their lively green colour injecting energy and a modern twist that recalls the fresh, open greens around Totteridge Common. Dark, glossy foliage peeks through in places, supporting the flowers and grounding the design with rich, natural tones. The bouquet's stems are carefully aligned at the base, gathered firmly in the florist's hand and banded with a wide lime green satin ribbon, tied into an elegant bow whose sheen catches the light much like sunlight across the ponds of nearby fields. The overall feel is serene yet quietly uplifting, with the white and green palette symbolising purity, renewal, and gentle hope. This bouquet would sit beautifully on a dining table in a Totteridge cottage, brighten the hallway of a modern home off Totteridge Village, or convey heartfelt messages of congratulations, sympathy, or simple appreciation when delivered locally, bringing a sense of calm and natural beauty to any setting.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
This image presents a beautifully rounded bouquet of fresh flowers, photographed against a pure white background so every detail can be clearly appreciated. Several fully bloomed roses sit at the heart of the design, their petals a gentle blend of creamy white and soft buttery yellow, arranged in tight spirals that radiate calm, timeless beauty. Surrounding them are opulent chrysanthemum heads in vivid fuchsia and magenta hues, each bloom composed of layered, daisy-like petals curling slightly at the tips, with bright yellow-green centres that lend a playful sparkle to the composition.

Threaded throughout are sprigs of petite white daisies, similar to chamomile, each with fine white petals and golden centres no larger than a small button. These dainty flowers bring lightness and a fresh, garden-picked charm, as though gathered from a quiet path leading across Totteridge Common. Tucked between them, smaller chrysanthemum buds in deeper purple-pink shades add shadow and depth, suggesting layers of interest as your eye moves inward.

The foliage is rich and verdant, but thoughtfully arranged not to overwhelm the blooms. Glossy rose leaves and textured chrysanthemum greens frame the flowers, offering a contrasting cool green that highlights the warmth of the magenta and cream petals. At the base, the stems are drawn together into a neat bundle, carefully secured with a green-and-white gingham ribbon that reinforces the bouquet's hand-crafted, personal character, much like a bespoke arrangement prepared by Totteridge Florist for local delivery. Bathed in bright, even light, the bouquet appears fresh and full of life, its gentle shadows giving a sense of three-dimensional presence. The overall mood is joyful and generous, ideal for marking special occasions, sending heartfelt thanks, or brightening any Totteridge living space with a touch of modern country charm.

MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A luxurious bouquet of hydrangeas sits against a spotless white background, allowing its serene palette of white, blue, and green to take full focus. In the centre is a voluminous dome of creamy white hydrangeas, the countless small florets overlapping like soft ruffles on a gown, forming a plush, cloud-like heart. Embracing this centrepiece are generous globes of sky-blue hydrangeas, their petals delicately layered in gentle gradients of blue that call to mind wide, open skies above Totteridge Lane on a clear afternoon. Tucked harmoniously among them are bright lime-green hydrangea clusters, bringing a lively, fresh accent that suggests spring buds opening along the hedgerows near Totteridge Green. Lacing through the flowers is an abundance of foliage: silvery-green eucalyptus with smooth, rounded leaves adds a cool, contemporary note, while deeper, glossier green leaves with slightly pointed tips supply structure and a rich, verdant backdrop. The bouquet is shaped into a balanced, rounded silhouette, every bloom nestled carefully so that no single colour overwhelms the others. At the bottom, the long natural stems gather into a tidy, hand-tied bundle, ready to be dropped into a vase on a kitchen table or hallway console in a Totteridge home. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the velvety surface of the petals and the varied textures of the foliage, from matte to subtly shiny. The arrangement gives off a feeling of calm sophistication and quiet joy, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, housewarmings, or simply brightening a peaceful corner with the gentle beauty of expertly arranged hydrangeas.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
A beautifully balanced mixed bouquet is captured against a pure white background, every bloom and leaf clearly defined as if it had just been arranged in a Totteridge studio. In the heart of the design, several soft pink roses open in classic spirals, their velvety petals layered like delicate fabric, creating a gentle, romantic focal point. Encircling these are bright yellow gerbera daisies, each with a pronounced dark brown eye that provides a confident contrast and a burst of sunny optimism, evoking the warmth of an afternoon stroll near Totteridge & Whetstone. Rising from behind the central cluster, tall spires of rich blue delphiniums lend height and poise, their rows of small florets introducing a cool tonal shift that balances the warmer hues below. The bouquet is generously framed with fresh greenery: fine, feathery fern fronds drape softly at the edges, while broad, glossy dark green leaves add weight and structure, catching the light with a subtle sheen. Interspersed throughout are tight clusters of bright green, textured filler greens, reminiscent of mossy garden beds in local Totteridge backyards, adding volume and a lively, tactile layer. Around the lower portion of the blooms, wide, tropical-style leaves, some bearing discreet lighter stripes, are wrapped and curved to form a neat, contemporary collar that both supports and showcases the flowers. Beneath this collar, the stems are gathered together in a clean, hand-tied bundle, visible below a soft, pale wrapping secured with a simple knot. The overall impression is of a joyful yet refined bouquet, perfectly suited for birthdays, thank-you gifts, or everyday celebrations delivered across Totteridge, from quiet residential streets to local businesses along Totteridge Lane.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
This luxurious bouquet is presented against a bright white background, allowing every colour and texture to stand out as clearly as if you were viewing it in a Totteridge flower studio. At the centre, large garden roses in gentle blush pink, dusty mauve, and antique-rose tones open in layered spirals, creating a soft, romantic focal point that feels both modern and timeless. Around them, numerous ruffled carnations build volume, each bloom fading from a creamy or pale pink middle to deeper rose, fuchsia, and plum edges that flutter at the tips like delicate fabric. Interwoven among the pinks are deep indigo-blue blossoms, poised in elegant, bud-like forms reminiscent of tulips, introducing a striking, jewel-like contrast. A single, open royal blue anemone with a near-black heart sits low in the design, giving the eye a dramatic point to rest upon. Slender wands of lilac and pale lavender stock weave upward through the bouquet, their clustered petals adding vertical rhythm and suggesting a light, sweet fragrance that would sit beautifully in a Totteridge living room overlooking the green. The entire arrangement is framed by lush foliage: dark, glossy leaves and round, silvery eucalyptus that arcs gracefully outward, hinting at a cool, refreshing aroma. The stems are neatly tied at the base in true hand-tied style, ready for same-day delivery through the quiet residential streets near Totteridge Lane and Totteridge & Whetstone station. With its soothing mix of pinks, purples, blues, and greens, this bouquet conveys understated luxury, ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, congratulations, or simply bringing a sense of peaceful beauty into a North London home.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
Bringing together blush-toned gerberas and time-honoured pink roses, this Totteridge bouquet is a study in serene beauty and uplifting light. Arranged with a flair that echoes the tranquil elegance of the Totteridge Valley, the soft, merging pinks give the impression of delicate watercolours fading into one another at dusk. Punctuated by spires of deep purple statice, the assortment receives a cheerful lift, while crisp, cool green foliage grounds the swirling blooms and imbues the arrangement with the freshness of early morning dew near Darland's Lake. Presented in a minimal glass vase, the light dances on the petals and leaves, enhancing their natural vibrancy. Whether sent as a heartfelt get-well wish traveling the leafy lanes or as a stylish centrepiece for a Totteridge sitting room, this bouquet underscores the expert craftsmanship and meticulous selection that the local community has come to expect. There's a quiet optimism woven through every bloom, inviting all who see it to pause and appreciate the beauty of nature guided by a careful hand.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
This image shows a beautifully balanced hand-tied bouquet, placed against a simple white background that lets the colours and textures unfold without distraction. In the centre, pastel pink roses open in spirals, some petals still tightly cupped while others have relaxed into full, layered rosettes, revealing a gentle gradation from richer blush tones at the core to lighter, almost ivory-tinted edges. Nestled closely with them are ruffled carnations in muted dusty rose and mauve, their frilly petals overlapping in generous, rounded clusters that lend a sense of plush comfort and abundance. Shooting upward through this softness are slim spires of deep indigo and violet Veronica, bringing height and a hint of wild, garden energy reminiscent of walks through the green spaces around Totteridge Common. Around these, rich purple lisianthus blossoms, some in bud, some fully unfurled, add a smooth, velvety texture and deeper colour notes that make the softer pastels appear even more delicate. Tiny, starry aster-like flowers in light lavender-blue weave between the larger blooms, creating a gentle haze that softens edges and adds a feeling of movement. Encasing the flowers is a varied collar of foliage: bright chartreuse tufts of textural greenery stand out like small bursts of light against the cooler, silvery eucalyptus leaves and other leafy greens. At the base, the stems are neatly gathered and trimmed, clearly hand-tied, suggesting the bouquet is ready to be placed in a vase on a kitchen table near Totteridge & Whetstone station or in a peaceful sitting room looking out over the surrounding leafy streets. The arrangement exudes freshness, subtle fragrance, and a sense of thoughtful generosity, ideal for birthdays, thank-you gestures, or simply brightening a calm Totteridge afternoon.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
This radiant arrangement from Totteridge Florist evokes the golden hour over fields edging Totteridge Village-where sunflowers, bold and bright, stand surrounded by plush, unfurling yellow roses. Each sunflower, with a deep brown center and soft, sunlit petals, reaches outward as though stretching toward the open skies above North London's green belt. The bouquet's plush roses spiral open, inviting touch and admiration, while scattered clusters of crimson hypericum berries peek from behind, adding playful accents like drops of joy. Fern-like greenery and feathery solidago echo the breezy movement of local meadows, and rounded eucalyptus leaves offer a faint blue-green whisper of shaded woodland walks around Totteridge Common. The bouquet is gathered in a perfectly transparent, spherical vase, where the fresh stems-soaked in clear water-are fully visible. Such thoughtful composition is a testament to the artistry and community spirit that runs through Totteridge. Ideal for sending warmth or marking a milestone, this arrangement encapsulates the optimism and neighbourly joy flourishing in NW7.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
Set against a crisp white backdrop, a bouquet of vivid Gerbera daisies brings the fresh, uplifting spirit of Totteridge indoors. Each flower in the arrangement sings with colour: golden yellows, lively oranges, and bold magentas create an energetic medley, their broad petals radiating from deep, expressive centres. Interlaced with glossy, green foliage, the daisies stand out in harmonious balance, suggesting abundance as lush as the leafy walks of Totteridge Common. The bouquet is hand-tied and wrapped in textured kraft paper for a rustic feel, further protected by clear, gleaming cellophane that shapes the blossoms into a classic, tapered form. The glass vase reveals strong green stems, submerged in clear water-an assurance of freshness and longevity. A decorative bow of natural twine secures the composition, from which dangles a small, refined tag, marked by a subtle, graphic rose. Sunlight softly plays across the petals and foliage, enhancing the vibrancy of each hue and reflecting Totteridge's peaceful yet lively atmosphere. Whether gracing celebratory tables at local clubs or sent as a gift to a home along Totteridge Village, this arrangement captures a sense of joy and gratitude, offering a thoughtful, locally inspired tribute to the beauty of Gerbera daisies.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
Totteridge Florist presents this statement bouquet and chocolate duo, a visual feast against the purity of a white studio backdrop. The main bouquet is an opulent composition of roses in diverse hues-soft coral, radiant peach, pale yellow-tinged cream, and glowing, deep pink-each flower subtly shaded, creating a captivating sense of depth. Some blooms are tightly closed while others have opened fully to reveal their intricate petal layers, conjuring images of summer evenings wandering through the famed Totteridge Green. The rich arrangement is outlined by dense clusters of verdant foliage, providing a vibrant frame and enhancing the warmth of the rose colors without diminishing their intensity. Anchoring the lower left of the composition is a Thorntons Orange Crisp pouch, the cream-toned wrapper elegantly printed with the brand and product details, accompanied by an enticing illustration of two chocolate truffles-a promise of sweet indulgence. The two real truffles in front possess a glossy milk chocolate exterior, accentuating their decadence. Ideal for birthdays or meaningful occasions across Totteridge and Whetstone, this ensemble captures the spirit of generosity, artistry, and togetherness, blending the freshness of hand-selected roses with the pleasure of fine gourmet chocolate for an unforgettable gift-giving experience.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
Blending refined elegance with the soft countryside charm of Totteridge, this artisanal bouquet is alive with nuanced tones and expert texture. Rich indigo and blue-violet hydrangeas boast abundant, velvety petals that shimmer in gentle daylight, calling to mind the quiet waters and leafy paths near Totteridge Lane. Nestled between them, roses of delicate lavender and classic white unfold gracefully, invoking romance and poetic beauty. White ranunculus, densely layered and plush to the touch, sits in contrast to tall, slender buds of yellow-tinted eustoma, imparting a lively vertical flair. Scattered among these are vivid fuchsia and blush-pink flowers for joyful pops of color, complemented by soft, feathery pink astilbe that drifts playfully around the bouquet's margins. Intricate sprays of light green and white filler, like lace, weave through-and could be glimpsed on summer hedgerows or in the wild corners of Totteridge gardens-bringing airiness and movement. All anchored by deep, glossy green leaves, the bouquet is tied together with a sumptuous, wide purple ribbon that amplifies the harmonious palette. Assembled by an expert local florist, this striking arrangement is ideal for celebration or as a heartfelt gift to neighbors and loved ones throughout Totteridge.
