RETIREMENT FLOWERS
Against a clean white backdrop, this round, hand-tied bouquet looks like it has just been lifted from a Keston florist's workbench, every stem positioned with care. At its centre, two rich, crimson red roses draw the eye first, each bloom tightly furled with plush petals that speak of romance, admiration, and cherished connections. Encircling them is a ring of crisp white daisy-style chrysanthemums, their petals radiating out from striking lime-green centres that add a modern, zesty twist, reminiscent of the fresh greens found on walks through Keston's leafy lanes. Weaving between the white daisies are numerous light and mid-pink chrysanthemum blooms, also daisy-like in form, their soft petals and bright green centres creating a cheerful interplay of colour that feels both comforting and celebratory. Nestled among these are airy sprigs of pale pink filler flowers, similar to waxflowers, their tiny clustered blossoms and visible stamens providing a fine, almost cloud-like texture that softens the overall design. Rich green foliage surrounds and supports the flowers, with smooth, glossy leaves peeking through the blooms and giving the bouquet a full, vibrant presence. The stems at the base are cleanly cut and tightly bound, confirming it as a hand-tied bouquet ready for a vase on a kitchen table overlooking Keston Common. The mood of the arrangement is uplifting and sincere, ideal for expressing love, gratitude, or get-well wishes, and it would make a charming centrepiece for relaxed family gatherings or quiet celebrations across Keston and the surrounding villages.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
Against a bright white backdrop, a lush, rounded bouquet appears almost to float, its colours intensified by the simple studio setting. At the centre, fully opened roses glow with a gradient of warm hues, beginning as a bright golden yellow deep inside the bloom and gradually shifting to burnt orange and soft reddish tones at the outer petal tips. These roses are cradled by a ring of white daisy-like chrysanthemums, each one perfectly formed with slim, clean petals and an arresting lime-green disk at its heart, adding a cool, modern touch. Between them, clusters of smaller magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemum heads create pockets of rich colour, their layered petals giving a velvety texture and their yellow-green cores tying harmoniously into the rest of the bouquet. Dark green foliage, likely ruscus or similar, curves gently around and through the blooms, adding structure and echoing the greenery seen around Keston's leafy lanes and nearby woodland paths. The stems are neatly gathered and bound at the base, splaying slightly where they are cut, so you can almost imagine placing them straight into a favourite jug on a kitchen table off Lakes Road. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the intricate veining on the rose petals and the feathery edges of the chrysanthemums without distraction. This composition, created with the easy confidence of a local Keston florist, conveys joy, gratitude, and lively energy, making it perfect for celebrating new beginnings, welcoming someone to a new home, or simply brightening a grey afternoon anywhere across BR2.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
A radiant bouquet designed for the heart of Keston, this arrangement captures the spirit of community and the vibrancy of local flora. Central peach and amber roses bloom elegantly, their petals layered in spiraled waves of warmth. Around them, playful chrysanthemums sparkle-some dazzling white with lively green centres like fresh daisies from a Keston meadow, others deep magenta with high-contrast lime-green hearts. Lush foliage reminiscent of the greenery seen while strolling through Keston's leafy lanes adds a rich, natural foundation, intensifying each flower's hue and texture. A slender loop of bright bear grass arcs across the composition, infusing a feeling of lightness and movement. The bouquet is wrapped snugly at its base in cheerful, bright orange paper, its crinkle reflecting both the energy of the blooms and Keston's village charm. Meticulously crafted, this arrangement radiates happiness and feels perfectly suited for thoughtful gifting throughout the Keston community-whether for an anniversary, a birthday, or a gesture of heartfelt thanks.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
Against a clean, pure white backdrop, this chrysanthemum bouquet looks fresh from the hands of an experienced florist in Keston, the blooms gathered into a rounded, harmonious cluster that feels both contemporary and classic. Dominating the design are large white and soft cream chrysanthemums, their many fine petals densely arranged in layers that fan out from subtle greenish centres, creating a plush, almost cushion-like surface with a calm, elegant character. Threaded among these are airy clusters of white spray chrysanthemums, their smaller, daisy-shaped faces breaking up the expanse of larger blooms and adding a sense of lightness, as if the bouquet might sway gently in a breeze passing over Keston ponds. Striking lime green pompon chrysanthemums punctuate the arrangement, their compact, spherical heads packed tightly with tiny petals, introducing a bold splash of colour and a touch of playful texture that draws the eye. Rich dark green foliage peeks through at the edges and between flower heads, grounding the white-and-green palette with a natural depth reminiscent of the tree canopies around Keston Common. The stems are clearly visible at the base, cut straight and gathered neatly by hand, then secured with a wide lime green satin ribbon tied into a generous, multi-loop bow that shines softly under the light. This ribbon not only holds the bouquet together but visually ties the whole design back to the vivid pompon mums. The overall impression is of freshness, serenity, and quiet joy, making this arrangement perfect for a thoughtful delivery around Keston-whether to encourage a friend, celebrate a new home, or offer gentle condolences with understated grace.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
Set against a clean white background, this vibrant bouquet appears as though it has just been finished in a small Keston flower shop, ready to head out for same-day delivery. The composition is dominated by several large roses in shades of creamy ivory that soften into delicate pale yellow at the petal edges. Each rose is fully open, with smooth, velvety petals curling outward in flawless spirals that draw the eye inward and give the arrangement a classic, romantic centre. Surrounding these are clusters of rich fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums, their many slender petals forming rounded blooms with striking yellow-green centres that resemble tiny, sunlit buttons. A few slightly darker purple-pink chrysanthemum buds peek between the open flowers, creating visual depth and a sense of natural progression from bud to full blossom. Threaded through the bouquet are dainty sprays of white daisies or Matricaria-style flowers, each tiny bloom composed of fine white petals and a bright yellow centre, adding airiness and a gentle, wildflower charm that recalls the relaxed greenery around Keston's leafy lanes. Fresh, deep green leaves anchor the design, framing the brighter colours while providing structure and a feeling of lush abundance. At the base, the stems are neatly gathered and tightly bound with a green and white checkered ribbon, its gingham pattern suggesting a hand-crafted, country-inspired finish. Under the even, bright lighting, every petal, leaf, and ribbon detail is clearly defined, casting soft shadows that make the bouquet appear three-dimensional, inviting, and full of joyful, uplifting energy for any celebration or thank-you gesture in Keston.
LOVELY DREAMER
£50.00
An abundant display of oriental lilies commands attention-pristine cream-white blooms intermingled with rich fuchsia-pink flowers, arranged to form a voluminous, rounded silhouette against a stark white background. Many flowers are fully open, their trumpet and star-like shapes revealing delicate stamens with pale yellow anthers and a fine dusting of pollen, while several buds remain elongated and closed, signalling sustained freshness and staggered opening. The white lilies carry soft greenish throats that deepen shadow and shape, and the pink varieties show velvety texture with lighter central streaks that give depth to each petal. Sprays of dark green, narrow leaves provide structural lines and a cooling contrast that accentuates the vivid floral tones. The base of the composition sits in a clear glass vase; through its transparency the neat, green stems and crystal-clear water are visible, grounding the arrangement in a domestic, freshly-made context. The lighting is bright and neutral, emphasising petal texture, the slight sheen of pollen, and the lush layering of blooms. As a local florist who knows Keston's rhythms-whether deliveries after a morning at Keston Ponds or a late-afternoon set-down near Locksbottom-Florist Keston imagines this bouquet bringing a soft, sweet scent and an air of celebration to a kitchen table or hallway console. It reads as both formal and intimate, ideal for marking an anniversary, welcoming a new home, or sending quiet sympathy with refined charm.
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A lush bouquet of hydrangeas and foliage fills the frame, set against a bright white background that gives the arrangement a light, floating quality. In the centre sits a large, creamy white hydrangea head, its countless tiny blossoms crowding together into a rounded, cloud-soft dome. Around it gather ample clusters of soft sky-blue hydrangeas, slightly offset to the left and right, their petals curling delicately at the edges and displaying gentle variations of pale blue, reminiscent of the subtle colour shifts seen over Keston's open skies. At the lower edges and between the larger blooms, lime-green hydrangeas bring a fresh, zesty contrast, their chartreuse hues calling to mind new leaves around Keston Ponds in early summer.   

A wide collar of foliage envelops the hydrangeas. Elegant eucalyptus stems extend outwards, their silvery-green, coin-shaped leaves catching the light with a muted sheen and contributing a relaxed, contemporary feel to the design. Positioned among them, darker green leaves with a glossier surface and slightly pointed tips weave in and out, adding depth and an organic, garden-like fullness. The stems are visible at the bottom of the bouquet, neatly gathered and tied in a professional hand-tied style, their natural lengths fanning slightly as they leave the binding, indicating the bouquet is ready to slip straight into a waiting vase. The lighting is soft and balanced, revealing the fine textures of each petal and leaf, from the ruffled hydrangea florets to the smooth, polished greenery. The overall mood of the arrangement is tranquil yet uplifting, perfectly suited for marking a birthday, offering thanks, or sending a soothing, elegant floral gift to homes around Keston and the nearby leafy lanes.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
Against a clean, white background, this professionally arranged hand-tied bouquet appears almost to float, its colours glowing in a way that recalls bright blooms in Keston gardens after a summer shower. The composition centres on several pink roses, each rosebud partly open, with velvety petals spiralling outwards in overlapping layers that suggest tenderness and affection. Surrounding them, sunny yellow gerbera daisies with dark chocolate-brown centres create a lively contrast, their open, daisy-like faces adding a bold, graphic element. Rising above, slim stems of intense blue delphiniums lend vertical structure and a cool counterpart to the warm tones below; each stem bears a trail of small, individual blossoms that feel reminiscent of wildflower spikes near Keston ponds and footpaths. The bouquet is thickly cushioned with diverse greenery. Fine, feathery fern fronds emerge from the outer edges, giving the design a slightly untamed, garden-fresh character. Nestled between the main flowers, clusters of bright green, almost moss-like filler blooms and foliage create a soft, textural base. Around the lower section, broad, glossy deep green leaves-some gently variegated with lighter lines-are wrapped to form a smooth collar that both supports and frames the flower heads. Sprays of slender stems crowned with tiny buds reach upward, adding an airy, delicate sense of movement. The stems are gathered tightly at the base and bound in pale cream or light green wrap, then finished with a simple tie that reveals the neatly trimmed ends. The result is a joyful yet elegant bouquet, ideal for celebrating milestones, sending encouragement, or welcoming guests into a Keston home with a burst of fresh colour.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
Against a bright white background, this hand-tied bouquet appears almost painterly, as if composed with brushstrokes of colour rather than stems and petals. In the centre, large garden roses in soft blush pink, dusty mauve, and gentle antique rose open in tight spirals that gradually relax into layered, ruffled edges, forming a romantic focal point. They are surrounded by lush carnations whose frilled petals move from creamy, pale interiors to deeper pinks, rosy tones, and hints of plum at the tips, creating a plush, textured ring around the roses. Striking notes of drama come from deep indigo and royal blue flowers: an open anemone with a near-black central disk sits close to the front of the arrangement, while sleek, tulip-like buds in a similar shade stand upright among the softer colours, adding a jewel-toned contrast reminiscent of twilight over Keston's leafy streets. Slim stems of lilac and pale lavender stock weave between the rounder blossoms, their small clustered flowers giving the bouquet a vertical rhythm, as if it is gently stretching toward the light. Encasing the blooms, a collar of rounded, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves mingles with darker green foliage, introducing cool tones, structure, and the suggestion of a fresh, aromatic scent that might drift through a Keston home. The stems are neatly gathered at the base, visible and carefully tied, signifying a bouquet freshly crafted and ready for local delivery. The design feels both soothing and uplifting, ideal for a Keston birthday, a heartfelt congratulations, or a quiet, elegant way to let someone know they are being thought of.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
Creating this arrangement in Keston, I'm moved by the interplay between soft pink gerberas and perfectly shaped roses-each bloom chosen for harmony and light. The palette draws on blush and rosy washes, reminiscent of an early morning stroll around Keston Pond, where colour seems to diffuse softly in the air. Deep purple statice interjects, creating gentle points of contrast and hinting at wild blooms along the edges of Hayes Common. The brightness of the petals is grounded by glossy, mineral-green foliage that feels cool to the touch, infusing the bouquet with a woodland freshness. Elevated in a simple glass vase, the entire design glows with calm luminosity, welcoming you closer. Whether this bouquet is destined for a get-well surprise, a warm welcome on Layhams Road, or to illuminate a stylish Keston sitting room, every element reflects the careful artistry and optimistic spirit of our local community. It's a gentle celebration of nature-crafted for joy, healing, and heartfelt connection.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
This image captures a luxurious, hand-tied bouquet presented against a crisp white backdrop, the flowers gathered into a generous dome of soft pink and purple tones that suggest both romance and contemporary style. At its heart, pastel pink roses are carefully arranged, some still in tighter bud form, others fully open to reveal layered petals and gently swirling centres, with hints of deeper blush near the core. Tucked among the roses, large ruffled carnations in dusty rose and mauve create a rich, tactile surface, their frills catching the light and giving the bouquet a sense of depth and fullness, like a cherished arrangement chosen for a quiet celebration in Keston village. Rising above, slender stems of deep violet and indigo Veronica add elegant vertical accents, their narrow, textured flower spikes providing a graceful contrast to the rounded heads of the roses and carnations. Weaving gently through this structure are clusters of purple lisianthus and airy sprays of aster-like blooms in soft lavender and periwinkle, each tiny daisy-shaped flower with a yellow centre that brightens the overall palette, reminiscent of wildflowers seen on walks near Keston Ponds. The greenery is equally considered: smooth, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves provide cool balance, while vivid lime-green filler with a tufted, almost moss-like appearance brings a vibrant, contemporary feel. The stems are visible at the base, neatly gathered and tied by hand, ready for placing straight into a vase on a Keston dining table or sideboard. The overall impression is one of thoughtful craftsmanship and gentle emotion, ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply sending a message of care and appreciation to someone special in the local Keston area.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
Envision the glow of a golden Keston sunset captured in a single, breathtaking arrangement. At its core, proud sunflowers open their luminous yellow petals wide, reflecting the warmth of community gatherings on Fox Lane. Surrounding these sunny blooms, tightly clustered yellow garden roses reveal their finely wrought petals in elegant, spiraling patterns, lending both texture and a sense of local history to the design. Scarlet-red Hypericum berries add playful bursts of colour throughout the bouquet, a delightful contrast that enlivens the lush green foliage. Light and feathery fronds spill gracefully over the edge of the vase, recalling the wild beauty of Keston's meadows and the gentle motion of wind across Hayes Common. Threaded into the arrangement, delicate stems of solidago and slender floral spikes contribute even more depth and variety, alongside the subtle, silvery-green hue of eucalyptus leaves-a subtle nod to the area's woodland borders. All of this artistry is grounded in a clear, spherical glass vase, where every angled stem is reflected in the still water below, echoing the clarity and freshness cherished by Keston locals. Designed with celebration in mind, this vibrant bouquet radiates happiness and togetherness, evoking memories of garden parties or tranquil gatherings amid the area's natural beauty. Whether given to a friend or used to mark a special event, it imparts an unmistakable sense of warmth and the unique spirit of Keston life.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
Bathed in gentle, natural light, this exuberant Gerbera bouquet stands out in a clear glass vase, set against a clean white stage that feels like the tranquil spaces near Keston's village green. The blooms-dazzling yellow, bold orange, and show-stopping magenta-are artfully arranged for both harmony and impact, their petals forming a symphony of joyful energy and textured softness. Each Gerbera features a velvety dark center, lending the arrangement rich visual depth and a sense of movement. Stems are bound together by a rustic wrap of natural kraft paper, its subtle texture lending an organic, earthy note, all embraced within the sheen of protective cellophane that fans out gracefully above the vase. Between the vivid flowers, deep green leaves add fullness and a natural balance, evoking the green vistas that define Keston's parks and woodlands. The stems themselves are visible in the slender vase, immersed in water to preserve their pristine freshness-a testament to expert local florist care. A twist of string secures the bouquet neatly, adorned with a delicate, white gift tag featuring a simple red rose illustration. As a whole, the bouquet exudes optimism and cheer, ideal for elevating birthdays, anniversaries, or spontaneous celebrations across Keston's close-knit community. This arrangement's professional finish and abundance of colour serve as a reminder of how thoughtful, local floristry can bring happiness to the everyday moments of Keston life.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
There is a harmonious interplay of colour and sentiment in this expertly gathered Keston bouquet, masterfully lit against a white background. Each lavish rose spirals open in soft gradations-dusky corals melting into golden peach, salmon, and blush, their petals edged in elegant rosy pinks. The lushness is enhanced by deep green eucalyptus and salal, woven through the arrangement to frame the blossoms with a fresh, woodland texture. These are flowers that seem to hum with the promise of summer afternoons beside Keston Village Hall, the soft air steeped with the subtle fragrance of roses and greenery. In the left corner, a dignified Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolate packet stands upright, its smooth wrapper and vivid branding catching the eye. The accompanying chocolates are temptingly exposed: rounded, glossy milk chocolate truffles that echo the indulgence of local artisan treats. The contrast of velvety petals and crisp, rich chocolate evokes tactile pleasure, inviting viewers to imagine both the scent and the taste. Together, this floral and confectionery offering from the heart of Keston feels as fitting for a joyous celebration as for a gentle moment of reassurance within the village community.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
Crafted with inspiration from Keston's verdant woodlands and the gentle rhythms of village life, this bouquet offers a lush tapestry of blooms, unified by a sense of romance and subtle luxury. Dramatic hydrangeas in deep indigo, teal, and violet form rounded clusters at the bouquet's centre, their petals plush and inviting, reminiscent of rain-dapped borders in Keston's green parks. Nestled between them, pure white and soft lavender roses create elegant highlights, their silken petals softly unfurling in an act of subtle grandeur. Tightly packed white ranunculus pile on velvety depth, while narrow, buttery yellow lisianthus buds and half-open blossoms lend vertical elegance and brightness that mirrors early morning sun streaming through Keston's leafy avenues. The arrangement is punctuated by lively sprays of fuchsia-pink filler flowers and delicate pink astilbe plumes, bringing movement and joyful colour to the design. Wispy, lacy green and white filler blooms, suggestive of ammi or Queen Anne's Lace, contribute intricate textures and a sense of wild floral abundance. Deep green foliage provides a grounding backdrop, highlighting every nuanced petal. The stems are gracefully bundled and secured with a wide, satin-finish purple ribbon, echoing the bouquet's cool palette and tying the composition together. Perfect for celebrations, heartfelt messages, or as a statement piece in any Keston home, this arrangement blends classic sophistication with a local touch that embodies the warmth of Keston's close-knit community.
TIMELESS VICTORIAN
£57.00
A joyful, densely packed floral arrangement photographed on a crisp white background, described with the care of a florist preparing an order for delivery across Keston and neighbouring Bromley. The arrangement's energy is led by several yellow Asiatic lilies - some fully unfurled to reveal their freckled throats and exposed stamens, others held as elegant chartreuse-yellow buds that lift the silhouette upward. Interwoven are two-toned lavender-purple roses whose powdery petals curl inward in a classic spiral, releasing a subtle romantic scent when brushed. Bright orange Gerbera daisies sit like small suns amid the bouquet, their flat ray-like petals and darker centers drawing immediate attention. Lime-green 'button' chrysanthemums knit the composition together with dense, ruffled texture, creating luminous green pockets that make the warmer florals sing. Tiny, globe-shaped accent flowers in toasted orange and golden-yellow-reminiscent of Craspedia yet spikier-dot the arrangement and add a playful, tactile rhythm. Distinctive blue-grey sea thistles (Eryngium) appear along the sides and lower edge, their prickly, geometric forms offering a cool, modern counterpoint to the soft blooms. Mixed foliage of varying leaf shapes-broad lily leaves, glossy filler greens and delicate tendrils-frames and cushions each bloom, lending a garden-fresh, handcrafted quality. Bathed in soft studio light, the bouquet balances warmth and restraint: celebratory and comforting at once. This piece reads as a versatile gift for birthdays, congratulations, or to brighten a sitting room in Keston Village, showing the kind of thoughtful design you'd expect from an experienced local florist.
TROPIC GETAWAY
£64.00
This tall, graceful arrangement in a clear glass vase balances striking color with serene whites, photographed on a white field that concentrates attention on texture and form. The central mass is a dense head of royal blue hydrangeas whose clusters read almost velvety and give the bouquet a cool, luminous presence. Encircling that blue focal point are creamy white roses, their petals thick and soft, offering a warm, classic counterbalance to the hydrangea's cool tones. White calla lilies push upward like elegant architectural notes, their smooth, trumpet-shaped blooms reflecting light and guiding the eye skyward. Interspersed among them are narrow spires of white snapdragons or stock that add vertical rhythm and a hint of delicate movement. Rich green foliage - glossy broad leaves and feathery fern fronds - frames each bloom and spills gently toward the glass rim, creating a natural silhouette that feels both formal and freshly gathered. The stems dissolve into the clear water, visible through the transparent vase, underscoring meticulous floral conditioning. The scent is imagined as subtly green and floral, and the composition reads as both dignified and comforting: appropriate for memorial or sympathy settings, refined celebrations, or as a tasteful gift. As a local florist would note, this piece is well suited to the quiet, leafy character of Keston Village and is prepared with the sensibility local customers expect for same-day delivery across Keston and surrounding streets.
