Balloons & Flowers
A lavish birthday bouquet and balloon set glows in soft natural light, evoking the warmth of a surprise delivery arriving at a flat in Shadwell after work. The focal point is a tall clear glass vase filled with an abundant arrangement of flowers dominated by pink tones. Several large Gerbera daisies in rich magenta and fuchsia sit proudly at the front, each flower a perfect circle of finely layered petals surrounding a dark, almost ink-black centre that draws the eye. Around them, numerous blush and pastel pink roses nestle close together, some still in elegant tight buds, others loosening into soft spirals of petals that suggest tenderness and celebration. Slender stems of deep purple filler flowers thread between the larger blooms, adding depth and a gentle hint of wildness, while a collar of lush, vivid green foliage gives the bouquet a rounded, garden-fresh shape. The stems are gathered within a band of translucent pink cellophane wrapped loosely around the base, the crinkled texture catching the light and giving the impression of tissue-thin silk. Tied around the neck of the vase with a simple loop of rustic twine is a small off-white gift tag featuring a discreet floral logo, signalling a carefully curated gift rather than something rushed. In the foreground to the right, a round foil birthday balloon adds a playful finishing touch. Its white background, mottled with soft grey speckles, is scattered with colourful floral and dot motifs in bright yellow, sky blue, lime green, and vivid pink, all encircling the words "happy birthday" written in bold, looping pink script. The softly blurred indoor background hints at a bright room near Shadwell Basin or Cable Street, allowing the flowers and balloon to stand out as a joyful birthday surprise delivered locally.
SORBET & BALLOON
£73.00
Bathed in soft, natural light as if just set on a kitchen table in the early morning, this birthday arrangement reads as both elegant and delightfully festive. The focal point is a cluster of soft pink roses, their petals layered and gently unfurling from creamy blush centers to slightly deeper pink edges, offering a tactile sense of velvet and tenderness. Scattered among the roses are pale-pink Gerbera daisies whose broad, radial petals create generous open spaces that brighten the bouquet; their subtle yellow-green centers add a warm counterpoint. Small, vivid purple sprigs of statice or limonium march through the composition, adding a crisp, textured contrast that lifts the pastels and gives the design depth. Tiny white spray blooms - perhaps miniature carnations or alstroemeria - nestle in the nooks, adding fullness and little flashes of light. Rich, glossy foliage in varied shapes cradles the blooms, the deep greens making the pinks and purples sing. The clear glass vase with its slightly flared base showcases the green stems and clean water, a quiet reminder of freshness and florist craftsmanship. Off to the right, a cake-shaped metallic balloon leans in with celebratory charm: white 'frosting' trimmed with a wavy blue border, bright rainbow sprinkles, and four colorful candles (purple, red, orange, and blue) topped with yellow flame tips. The phrase Happy Birthday appears in playful, multicolor lettering across its front, completing the message. This bouquet conveys a soft perfume and a warm, personal sentiment - a thoughtful birthday surprise that balances romance with party cheer.
PINK DAZE & BIRTHDAY BALLOON
£70.00
In this image, a vibrant hand-tied bouquet of gerbera daisies stands elegantly in a clear glass vase, matched with a "best Mum" balloon that adds a playful touch, as though the set is ready to be sent from a florist near Shadwell station. The bouquet is full and rounded, with roughly a dozen gerberas clustered closely so that their petals almost overlap, creating a dense, textured dome of colour. Each flower is shown at its peak, with a well-defined dark central disk framed by a ring of smooth, flat petals in glowing yellow, bold orange, and rich magenta. These colours echo the warmth of late-afternoon light falling across The Highway. Between the blooms, glimpses of deep green leaves add depth and help the bright petals stand out more vividly. The stems are neatly gathered and wrapped in a layer of light-brown kraft paper, its slightly crumpled surface bringing a rustic charm to the arrangement. Over this sits a clear, glossy cellophane wrap that adds a protective sheen and catches small highlights, making the bouquet look freshly prepared for delivery. A length of natural twine is tied in a modest bow around the wrapping, underscoring the hand-crafted nature of the piece. The glass vase is tall and cylindrical, filled with water so the straight, green stems are visible and tidy. Just to the lower right of the flowers, a round white foil balloon floats into view. Its surface is covered with scattered metallic gold spots and pink confetti-style dots and hearts, while the affectionate message "best Mum" is written at the centre in flowing pink script. The overall impression is of a bright, joyful gift set, perfect for Mother's Day or any time someone in Shadwell wants to send a heartfelt thank-you to a mother figure.
SUNNY GARDEN & MUM BALLOON
£65.00
A celebratory "Mum to Be" bouquet stands out crisply against a clean white background, its cheerful colours echoing the lively spirit of Shadwell and the nearby riverside. The flowers are arranged in a hand-tied, domed style, dominated by radiant fuchsia gerbera daisies with broad, velvety petals that radiate from dark, inky centres. Their bold colour instantly signals celebration. Tucked closely among them are soft pink roses, each one at a slightly different stage of bloom. Some are compact buds, their outer petals still wrapped around the heart of the flower, while others are partially or fully open, exposing comforting layers of petal that feel almost cloud-like in softness. Tiny sprays of purple filler flowers, most likely statice or limonium, weave between the bigger blooms, adding a dusting of lavender tone and a delicate, textured contrast. Lush green foliage frames and supports the flowers, from fine, linear leaves to broader, shinier greenery that catches the light, giving the bouquet depth and a sense of fresh, garden-picked abundance. The stems are gathered at the base and wrapped in layers of pink tissue paper in various tones, then enclosed in clear, glossy cellophane that creates a structured, ruffled skirt around the bouquet. This wrapping makes the piece feel like a complete gift, ready to be handed over at a baby shower near Shadwell Basin or taken along to a hospital maternity ward. Just in front of the stems sits a small, round foil balloon in bright pink, with a scalloped edge and playful white polka dots scattered across its surface. In fluid white script, the message "Mum to Be!" is written, accompanied by a sweet heart detail - a pink heart resting inside a white outline - nestled between the words. The combination of joyful flowers and the affectionate balloon message creates an image full of warmth, optimism, and anticipation for the new arrival.
MUM TO BE
£60.00
This image presents a tender new baby girl celebration set, composed with the thoughtful detail you might expect from Florist Shadwell preparing a same-day delivery along Cable Street or towards Wapping. The entire composition is framed by a pure white background, allowing the pastel tones and fresh greens to take centre stage without distraction. At the base stands a sturdy, square gift box in a gentle light pink shade, acting as both container and pedestal. From this box, layers of soft pink tissue rise and fold like fabric, held neatly by clear, slightly crinkled cellophane that catches light in tiny highlights. Emerging from this nest, a lush bouquet forms a well-balanced dome. In the centre glows a bright pink gerbera daisy, its petals radiating in a perfect circle, like a small, joyful sun at the heart of the design. Around it, tufts of snowy white chrysanthemums create plush volume, each bloom made up of many slender petals that give a feathery, almost cloud-like feel. Threaded between the whites are elegant alstroemeria lilies, in delicate tones of blush pink and white, their inner petals adorned with fine, natural speckles. Creamy yellow lily buds protrude just above the main cluster, still wrapped tight, hinting at flowers yet to open. Lime-green button-style blooms and vivid textured clusters dot the arrangement, lending a fresh modern pop that lifts the pastel palette. Dark green leaves with a glossy sheen, along with airy fern-like fronds, frame the flowers, offering depth and a slightly wild, garden-inspired character that wouldn't feel out of place in a hidden Shadwell courtyard. Tucked throughout, small groups of deep red hypericum berries add subtle richness. To the right, floating slightly above the bouquet, a metallic foil balloon shaped like a baby pram brings a playful touch. Its surface shimmers in hot pink, while the hood and wheels are a contrasting purple, each wheel decorated with colourful spokes radiating outwards. Soft pink hearts decorate the body, and bold yellow and green letters happily declare, "It's a Girl!". The overall mood is one of gentle joy and hopeful welcome, perfectly suited to marking the arrival of a daughter in Shadwell, whether at home, in hospital, or at an intimate baby shower.
NOTHING LIKE PINK & BABY GIRL BALLOON
£60.00
Arranged with the confidence of a neighbourhood florist, this welcoming bouquet reads as a classic new-baby tribute: a tightly formed round arrangement of pristine white roses, elegant white lilies - some petals still curled in bud - and pillowy white chrysanthemums that create a tranquil, comforting base. Interlaced among the whites are clusters of soft lilac-periwinkle, like miniature hyacinths, and sky-to-electric blue chrysanthemums that form striking focal points and reinforce the joyful 'boy' theme. Lush green foliage - broad leaves and delicate fern fronds - adds depth and a fresh herbal scent when the bouquet is moved. The stems sit neatly within a matte royal-blue rectangular gift box; the box's clean lines and deep colour provide a modern counterpoint to the blooms' softness and reflect the classic blue-and-white palette. Around the base, crinkled cream-coloured tissue or translucent paper is gathered to soften the presentation and to catch the morning light. Floating to the right of the flowers, a glossy baby-carriage-shaped foil balloon displays a pale-blue background, darker-blue canopy and wheels, and the phrase "It's a Boy" in cheerful yellow and green lettering, complete with tiny hearts and polka dots for a playful touch. Prepared with care for families in Shadwell, Limehouse and nearby Wapping, this arrangement - offered by Florist Shadwell for close-by deliveries - feels like a small, thoughtful celebration: fragrant, tender, and poised to greet a newborn son at the hospital or at home with understated joy.
SEA PEARL & BABY BOY BALLOON
£67.00
This image captures a thoughtful Father's Day gesture: a generous hydrangea bouquet paired with a cheerful balloon, both set against a bright white backdrop so every hue and texture can be appreciated. The bouquet, arranged slightly off-centre to the left, forms a rounded, hand-tied cluster typical of a professional Shadwell florist's workbench. At its core are large, plush heads of creamy white hydrangeas, each one a tight cluster of delicate petals that together resemble soft cotton clouds. Radiating from this centre, light blue hydrangeas appear along the left side and peeking from the upper right, their cool tones expressing calm, loyalty, and quiet gratitude-perfect for a dad who might be relaxing in a riverside flat near Wapping or walking home from Shadwell DLR. Nestled in between, lime green hydrangeas sit prominently at the base and to the right, offering a fresh, zesty contrast that feels like new leaves after rain around nearby parks and docks. Interspersed through the blooms are sprigs of silvery eucalyptus and dark green foliage, their varied leaf shapes and tones adding depth, structure, and a suggestion of gentle, aromatic greenery. The stems are visible at the bottom, straight and neatly tied, affirming the bouquet's hand-crafted character. To the lower right, a glossy round foil balloon overlaps the bouquet, completing the gift. The balloon's centre is bright white, framed by bold black-and-white striped borders at the top and bottom for a crisp, graphic edge. Across it, the message "For the BEST DAD EVER!" is written in a playful mix of fonts. Each letter of "BEST" and "DAD" carries its own personality, ranging from solid teal and red to patterned stripes and polka dots, while a small "No. 1" rosette symbol emphasizes appreciation. Colourful stars and tiny dot confetti in yellow, red, teal, and black dance across the surface, giving the design a lively, celebratory feel. Together, the hydrangeas and balloon create an image of warmth and pride, ideal for marking Father's Day or a special birthday anywhere in Shadwell.
BEST DAD EVER EUPHORIA
£70.00
Bright and affectionate, this floral gift is composed with a florist's attention to rhythm and balance and would be instantly recognisable as a Shadwell offering from Florist Shadwell. At the centre, large peach-orange roses open like warm smiles, their soft petals layered to catch the light and release a gentle, classic rose scent. Cheerful yellow gerbera daisies pop through the arrangement, adding immediate sunshine and contrast with their dark central discs. Rich, deep-red carnations provide a velvety texture and visual depth, their ruffled petals creating a plush, romantic undercurrent. Slim white alstroemeria with their tiny speckles introduce an airy, elegant note that lightens the composition. The bouquet is supported by abundant glossy greenery - broad leaves and fine foliage that create structure and a fresh, garden-sprung feel. All stems are visible through a simple clear glass vase, water glinting and suggesting recently cut freshness, while the vase's clean lines let the flowers remain the focus. Nestled to the lower right and slightly overlapping the base is a round white Mylar balloon, playfully patterned with gold and hot-pink spots and small hearts; across its face, the inscription "best Mum" is handwritten in lively hot-pink script. This pairing - flowers and a personalised balloon - reads like a thoughtful, local tribute to mothers and carers across Shadwell, Limehouse and the surrounding Docklands neighbourhoods.
BEST MUM AWARD
£65.00
This inviting "Good Luck" ensemble feels like a warm send-off captured in simple studio light: a lush bouquet arranged to the left in a clear glass vase tied with rustic twine, overflowing with light pink roses, peachy-orange gerberas with dark brown centres, fine sprays of white baby's breath, and small white-and-lime chrysanthemum florets. The roses offer a soft, honeyed scent while the gerbera petals lie silky under the fingertips; the chrysanthemums add a crisp snap of freshness and the gypsophila threads through the stems like lace. Deep green foliage pushes up between blooms to frame the colours and add weight to the composition. In the foreground at the right, slightly overlapping the vase, a round silver foil balloon reflects the studio light and is sprinkled with colourful shapes - blue and pink hearts, yellow and blue stars, and tiny orange and green cross-like marks - surrounding the jubilant message "Good Luck!" The text is playful and multi-coloured, with the two o's in "Good" replaced by bright yellow smiley faces (one winking, one tongue-out) that lend a cheeky, encouraging mood; the small KALEIDOSCOPE brand mark sits low on the balloon. The overall impression is optimistic and tactile, like a bouquet picked for someone stepping into a new chapter. As a florist who knows Shadwell's lanes and local faces around the Basin and The Highway, I imagine this arriving on doorsteps for graduations, interviews, or simple, brave beginnings.
GOOD LUCK COMBO
£60.00
This photograph shows a thoughtful 25th anniversary arrangement that would suit a quiet celebration in Shadwell, perhaps after a stroll along Narrow Street. Dominating the left side is a hand-tied bouquet of white blooms, full and rounded without feeling overly formal. White chrysanthemums open wide, each flower with a clear yellow centre that gives a hint of warmth amid the cool palette. Interspersed between them are elongated white lily buds, standing slightly taller, their petals still wrapped in tight, elegant cones with a soft green tinge. Delicate strands of gypsophila weave through the bouquet, their clusters of tiny white flowers lending a soft, cloud-like effect that breaks up the larger shapes. The deep green leaves cradling the flowers add both contrast and a sense of lushness, suggesting freshness and careful conditioning by local florists. Around the stems, a layer of clear cellophane provides a protective shine, while an outer wrap of brown kraft paper is folded neatly and tied at the base, giving the bouquet a rustic yet polished look that would feel just right in a Shadwell townhouse near Wapping or Limehouse. To the right, a round silver foil balloon gleams gently. Its metallic surface, lightly creased in places, catches highlights and shadows. An ornate border of scrollwork and stylised florals circles the centre, where "25th" is written in a graceful script, with "Happy Anniversary" faintly repeated in the background like a murmured toast. Together, bouquet and balloon create a tranquil, celebratory composition that speaks of enduring love and shared memories by the river.
HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY
£60.00
This image shows a joyful, meticulously arranged bouquet and balloon pairing for a 100th celebration, presented cleanly against a pure white backdrop. On the left stands a modern pink vase in a soft matte finish with fine vertical ribbing, cradling a lavish, rounded bouquet. At its heart, pale pink Oriental lilies open wide in star-shaped blossoms, their petals gently curving at the tips and their long stamens rising from the centre, a few buds still closed above suggesting longevity and ongoing bloom. Around the lilies are generous roses in soft blush and deeper dusty-rose tones, each flower unfolding in velvety layers that evoke enduring affection and respect. Rich purple lisianthus blooms are woven among the roses, adding both depth of colour and a layered, almost velvet texture that suits Shadwell's mix of old and new along Cable Street and The Highway. Dotted in between are small lavender asters with bright yellow centres, creating a light, meadow-like feel, while bright lime green button chrysanthemums appear as compact, spherical bursts that energise the composition. Wisps of white baby's breath drift across the bouquet, softening the transitions between larger blooms and giving the design a delicate, cloud-like quality. Supporting greenery in various tones of green, from deep forest to fresh spring, frames the arrangement and adds a natural, organic edge to the otherwise polished design. To the lower right, partially overlapping the base of the vase, a shiny round foil balloon adds a distinctly festive charm. Its metallic surface is entirely covered with tiny confetti dots in vivid red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and centred within this colourful field are large white numerals "100", styled with a gentle three-dimensional shadow so they stand out boldly. Together, the bouquet and balloon convey joy, gratitude, and pride, perfect for delivery across Shadwell to celebrate a 100th birthday, a centenary anniversary, or any remarkable hundred-year milestone.
