CHRISTENING FLOWERS
Set against a spotless white backdrop, a lush, hand-crafted bouquet fills the frame, its colours gleaming as if freshly arranged for delivery across Purley. Central to the design are striking bi-colour roses, opening in full, their centres a clear, sunny yellow that slowly melts into warm orange and soft reddish-orange along the outer petals, like the gentle glow over Kenley's skies at the end of the day. Surrounding and weaving through these roses are plentiful white chrysanthemum daisies, each bloom with a perfectly round, lime-green centre that pops against the crisp white rays, adding a cool, clean brightness. Intermixed throughout the bouquet are rich magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, tightly petalled and rounded, their yellow-green cores mirroring the daisies and tying the colour story together. Dark green, slightly glossy foliage peeks out from behind the blossoms, giving depth, a natural frame, and the sense of a garden gathered and refined by a skilled florist's hand. The flowers are massed into a rounded, almost spherical shape, full and generous, yet balanced so that each variety has room to be seen. At the lower edge, neat, straight stems are bound into a traditional hand-tied bundle, their fresh cut ends visible against the white, suggesting cool water and long-lasting freshness. The lighting is soft yet bright, emphasizing texture, from the velvety rose petals to the intricate chrysanthemum centres. This radiant arrangement feels joyful and uplifting, suited to birthdays, congratulations, or welcoming a new baby to a home near Purley Oaks, while still refined enough to send as an elegant gesture of appreciation or support.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
Imagine sunlight filtering across quiet Purley streets, its golden touch reflected in a bouquet of pastel blooms thoughtfully arranged to convey welcome and ease. At the centre, soft peach-pink roses unfurl their petals in tender spirals, evoking affection and gentle optimism. The cheerful presence of two peach-toned gerbera daisies adds brightness, their broad petals arranged around dark, inviting centers. Wisps of white baby's breath float between, offering up cloudlike softness and airiness, while lush white chrysanthemums with lively green centers nestle throughout, their crisp petals reminiscent of freshly cut lawns in Purley's public gardens. Eucalyptus leaves, deep and fragrant, enrich the composition and bring a faint woodland scent. Encased in a clear, subtly textured glass vase, the fresh green stems dip into cool water, marking the bouquet's vitality. The vase is finished with a simple raffia tie and a plain white tag-ready for a message of celebration or support. Designed by Purley Florist, this ensemble feels like a tangible embrace, perfect for gifting on birthdays, anniversaries, or to offer comfort to neighbours and friends across Purley.
CANDY CRUSH
£55.00
This arrangement, crafted with the expertise found in local Purley florists, tells a story of affection and cheerful celebration before a word is spoken. At its heart, clusters of delicately lavender roses bloom with understated elegance, their gentle fragrance hinting at tranquil mornings in nearby Oaks Park. Dancing around these are bright fuchsia Gerbera daisies, their confident open faces and rich dark centres adding joyful vibrancy and abundance to the bouquet-like a burst of colour greeting passersby at Purley's high street flower stalls. Deeper magenta and plum-hand chrysanthemum-like flowers offer warmth and a textured embrace, reminiscent of the changing shades in the hedgerows just outside town. Wisps of white baby's breath thread through, imparting an airy, cloud-like quality that lightens the entire design, as if touched by the sun streaming over Riddlesdown Common. The rich, dark green foliage supports and frames the vivid blooms, grounding the arrangement much like the green spaces dotting the heart of Purley. The bouquet is presented in a clear glass vase with a subtly cracked pattern that plays with natural light, lending the composition an artisanal, inviting aura. Tied with rustic twine at the neck, a blank white tag gently waits for a message-perhaps a birthday wish or note of thanks sent from a neighbour on Whytecliffe Road. Whether to mark a special occasion or simply bring joy to a quiet kitchen table, this arrangement echoes the thoughtful, crafted touch of Purley's local florists and the generous spirit of the community.
DAY BRIGHTENER
£55.00
A generously rounded, hand-tied bouquet is showcased against a pristine white backdrop, every stem placed with the quiet confidence of an experienced Purley florist. At its centre, several deep red roses immediately draw the eye, their petals tightly furled and velvety, conveying passion, admiration, and the warmth of a whispered "I'm thinking of you." Encircling these classic roses are bright white daisy-like chrysanthemums, each bloom neatly layered around a vivid lime-green centre that adds a spark of freshness, like a sunlit morning walk through Purley's tree-lined streets. Interwoven among the whites are graceful pink daisy chrysanthemums, their tones ranging from soft pastel to a more lively mid-pink, all unified by those distinctive green eyes that bring a playful yet refined rhythm to the arrangement. Delicate sprays of pale pink waxflower scatter through the bouquet, their tiny, starry blooms and slender stems adding lightness and fine texture, as though a soft floral mist had settled around the larger flowers. Plentiful green foliage, from broad, glossy leaves to smaller bright green accents, cradles the design, providing depth and a natural frame that makes each colour sing more clearly. The stems are cleanly cut, gathered tightly, and bound to create a classic dome shape, suggesting a bouquet ready to be placed in a favourite jug or glass vase in a Purley kitchen or sitting room. Rich in reds, whites, pinks, and vibrant greens, this arrangement feels ideal for marking life's gentle celebrations-birthdays, thank yous, anniversaries, or simply bringing a sense of calm joy to a busy day in CR8.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
Flowing with the quiet beauty that Purley is known for, this bouquet encapsulates both celebration and intimacy through its considered design. Classic red roses, deep and velvety, are cradled amongst creamy white roses whose soft glow brightens the arrangement, much like the morning sun over Rotary Field. Variegated greenery, including spirited sprigs of eucalyptus and the polished leaves of ruscus, introduces layers of texture, scent, and subtle playfulness. Each stem is thoughtfully placed, allowing every flower and leaf to shine, just as local gardens do in the heart of Purley. The bouquet is enveloped in layers of blush pink paper, tenderly gathered and tied, exuding an air of delicate grace and sophistication. Ideal as a gift for milestones, anniversaries, or impromptu moments of affection, this striking composition is prepared with the seasoned touch of a Purley florist. It's a joyful testament to the community's appreciation for both beauty and heartfelt connection, delivering a whisper of spring any time of year.
INFINITY
£79.00
A carefully composed bouquet photographed against a crisp white field: a full, creamy white Oriental lily sits at the forefront, its broad petals unfurling to show pale yellow stamens and a light green pistil, embodying calm and refinement. Around it, tight lily buds in lime and pale yellow gather like small promises, gradually building volume and anticipation within the arrangement. Punctuating those soft tones are small, deep red rosebuds-velvety and compact-whose concentrated colour reads like intimate notes threaded through the composition. The green architecture is varied and deliberate: large, glossy dark green leaves anchor the bouquet; long, feathery palm fronds in fresh emerald arc gracefully outward; and rounded, silvery eucalyptus sprigs add a cool, whispering texture. All of these elements sit in a clear glass vase so transparent that the light green stems and clean water are part of the visual story, reflecting the studio's bright, even lighting. The tactile contrast is striking-lily petals that are satiny and substantial, rosebuds with a velvet density, and foliage that moves between leathery sheen and soft, dusty silver-green. I picture this arrangement on a dining table after a stroll from Purley Station or as a thoughtful gift brought to a neighbour on Purley High Street; its fragrance would mingle gently with the air, bringing lily sweetness and rose warmth into the room. Crafted with neighbourhood care by Purley Florist, this bouquet reads as both celebratory and composed-suitable for anniversaries, congratulations, or a refined token of affection delivered across Purley and nearby lanes.
INSPIRATION
£65.00
A luxurious hand-tied arrangement of oriental lilies-cream-white and deep fuchsia-magenta-sits in a clear glass vase, each bloom given room to show its sculptural beauty against a stark white background. The bouquet displays a thoughtful rhythm of fully opened trumpets and elongated buds: the white lilies are subtly off-white with a hint of yellow-green at their throats, their stamens and anthers exposed like tiny natural accents, while the pink-to-magenta flowers offer velvety petals often marked by paler veins or a creamy centre that draws the eye inward. Interspersed dark green, lance-shaped foliage gives structure and a fresh, garden-like contrast, the glossy leaves forming graceful verticals and arcs through the dense mass of blooms. The vase's transparency reveals trimmed stems and clean water, visual proof of recent preparation and proper care. Lighting is bright and even, bringing out the satiny texture of petals and the soft shadow beneath overlapping flowers, and the arrangement carries the gentle, sweet perfume typical of oriental lilies-a scent that often fills reception rooms and small flats around Purley High Street. As an experienced local florist, Purley Florist prepares bouquets like this for celebrations, sympathetic gestures, and special moments; they travel well and are suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, and Mother's Day in Purley and nearby Croydon. The image celebrates both botanical detail and human warmth: a luxuriant, composed bouquet that reads as elegant, fragrant, and reassuringly fresh.
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A lush hydrangea bouquet fills the image, set against a plain white background that draws attention to its colours and structure, much like a piece of floral artwork created in a Purley high-street studio. At the heart of the arrangement sits a substantial, dome-shaped cluster of creamy white hydrangea, its countless tiny petals layered tightly to form a soft yet substantial focal point. Around this central bloom, rounded heads of pastel blue hydrangeas rise toward the upper edges, their gentle, misty blues reminiscent of early morning light over Purley Oaks. Nestled lower and between the blue clusters are pale lime-green hydrangeas, their fresh chartreuse tones adding energy and hinting at the new growth found in gardens across the CR8 area. Threaded through the flowers is an abundance of foliage: eucalyptus with rounded, silvery-green leaves fans outward, introducing a cool, airy quality and a suggestion of subtle fragrance, while richer emerald foliage with smoother, slightly pointed leaves creates shadows and structure within the bouquet. The stems are clearly aligned at the bottom, tightly gathered and tied, signalling a traditional hand-tied design poised to be placed in a favourite vase after same-day delivery to a Purley home or office. Soft, diffused lighting washes over the petals, accentuating their ruffled surfaces and the slight colour variations within each hydrangea head, giving the whole arrangement a tranquil, polished appearance. The balanced palette of white, blue, and green suggests gentleness and sincerity, making this bouquet a versatile choice for marking local celebrations, sending a thoughtful thank-you, offering comfort in times of loss, or simply brightening a hallway with cool, calming tones.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
A classic, refined bouquet of roughly twelve creamy white roses fills a clear glass vase against a pristine white backdrop; each rose is at a slightly different stage-some fully open to reveal layered, satiny petals, others still gently unfolding-so the overall look feels alive and softly moving. Tiny clusters of baby's breath (Gypsophila) are woven generously between the roses, forming a mist-like halo that lightens the composition and gives a delicate, ethereal texture. Lush green foliage, ranging from deep forest tones to brighter lime highlights, provides contrast and structural support, their smooth leaves framing the blooms and reflecting a soft, natural light. The stems are visible through the vase and the water appears clear, signalling careful conditioning and freshness. The scent is subtle, a faint, clean floral note reminiscent of an early spring morning at a neighbourhood café near Purley High Street. This arrangement carries a mood of quiet celebration and thoughtful elegance-perfect for anniversaries, sympathy, or a heartfelt gift-and it's the sort of bouquet our regular customers in Purley and nearby Riddlesdown request when they want something timeless and soothing. Crafted with an experienced hand, this composition reflects careful attention to balance, rhythm, and proportion, qualities you would expect when ordering from a local florist like Purley Florist who knows the neighbourhood and the occasions that matter to it.
MY ONLY
£70.00
In our Purley workshop, I find true pleasure crafting this bouquet, drawn to the interplay between blush gerbera petals and the familiar spiral of classic pink roses. Each flower is selected for its freshness and vibrancy, arranged together in a slender clear vase where their lush green foliage radiates beneath. Once placed against a white backdrop, the soft gradient of pink roses blends seamlessly with the gentle pink of gerberas-a palette as subtle as early spring mornings in Purley. Deep violet statice is scattered through the bouquet, providing bold contrast and evoking lively energy akin to a stroll along Brighton Road on market day. The entire arrangement glows in soft, natural light, feeling cheerful and uplifting-an ideal choice for a get-well gesture, birthday celebration, or stylish adornment for an open, sunlit dining room. This design embodies the thoughtful, handcrafted expertise Purley Florist is known for. Whether delivered to a neighbour near Purley Cross or presented as a personal expression of joy and affection, the bouquet's careful composition ensures each recipient feels cherished and uplifted.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
A lush, professionally arranged bouquet in lively shades of magenta, purple, and cream stands in a clear glass vase, set against a bright white, softly diffused backdrop that feels like gentle morning light in a Purley townhouse kitchen. Dominating the arrangement are several large gerbera daisies in deep fuchsia, each bloom composed of layers of smooth, slightly pointed petals radiating from dark, inky centers that draw the eye. Between these bold focal flowers cluster bicolour chrysanthemums, their daisy-like petals tipped in rich purple that gradually melts into clean white toward the center, where small yellow eyes glow warmly. Creamy white spray roses are tucked thoughtfully among the larger blooms, some unfurling in soft spirals, others still in rounded bud, lending a sense of tenderness and calm to the more vivid colours. Wisps of white baby's breath thread through the composition, their many tiny blossoms creating a light, cloud-like veil around the stronger shapes, while glossy dark green leaves and stems form a sturdy, natural framework that grounds the design. The bouquet rests in a short, textured glass vase, the stems clearly visible through the water, and a length of simple twine is tied around the neck in an easy bow. A small white rectangular tag dangles from the twine, decorated with a pink rose motif and graceful handwriting-style text, hinting at a hand-written note from sender to recipient. The whole scene suggests a freshly delivered floral gift, perhaps arriving from a local Purley florist for an anniversary on Foxley Lane or a cheerful get-well surprise, radiating optimism, warmth, and the simple pleasure of having fresh flowers at home.
PINK SWEETNESS
£55.00
PURE ELEGANCE
PURE ELEGANCE
£65.00
Presented against a pristine white backdrop, this large arrangement of white lilies reads like a study in serene craftsmanship: each bloom layered with broad, satiny petals that unfurl into a graceful trumpet, their brilliant white surfaces shading into a faint creamy-yellow and green at the throat. Within many open blossoms delicate stamens rise-pale greenish filaments topped by warm, earthy brown anthers-adding textured punctuation to the luminous petals. Dark, glossy leaves thread through the bouquet, their deep green tone sharpening the visual impact and lending the grouping an abundant, garden-fresh silhouette. The display sits in a clear glass vase with a gently flaring neck; through the water you can see neatly cut, pale green stems that have been trimmed and arranged with an eye for balance and longevity. As a local florist familiar with Purley High Street and the quiet early-morning light near Purley Station, I note how the composition would sit beautifully on a mantel or a reception desk at a neighbourhood cafe. There is an implied, soft fragrance-subtle and assuring rather than overpowering-that seems to promise calm and thoughtful presence. Crafted with the care customers expect from Purley Florist, this bouquet is well suited to moments of remembrance, to a tasteful sympathy display, or to anyone seeking a pure, elegant centrepiece. For residents across Purley and neighbouring suburbs it reads as a composed, dignified choice, and is often arranged for same-day delivery when needed for thoughtful, immediate gestures.
