BASKETS / POSIES
A vibrant yet understated basket arrangement where crisp white Gerbera daisies take centre stage, each marked by a bold, dark brown to near-black disc that anchors the composition. Surrounding them are clusters of soft blush pink carnations, their frothy, layered petals creating a plush, romantic texture, while compact sprays of white and pale yellow daisy-like blooms - likely chrysanthemums or asters - nestle between stems to give the display a full, generous silhouette. Tiny violet-blue star-shaped flowers peek through the greenery, adding cool twinkles of colour and a delicate, airy rhythm. The bouquet is gathered in a pale, woven willow basket with a sturdy, curved wooden handle that frames the flowers and gives a handcrafted, approachable character. Lush foliage completes the picture: rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves add a modern, aromatic edge and glossy, dark ruscus branches trail to the left, offering graceful movement and depth. Under bright, neutral light, each petal and leaf reads fresh and tactile; you can almost sense the faint citrus-herb of eucalyptus mixed with the gentle, spicy perfume of carnations. Designed to be versatile, this arrangement suits celebrations, get-well wishes, or composed sympathy pieces, and is made with local care - Florist Shadwell often prepares similar baskets for deliveries across Shadwell, Wapping, and Limehouse. The piece balances comfort and cheer, handcrafted to feel reassuringly familiar yet thoughtfully elegant for any nearby home or event.

FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY BASKET
£60.00
This image shows a graceful funeral flower arrangement nestled in a pale cream woven basket with a smooth, arched handle, set against a clean white background so the colours feel calm yet vivid. At the centre of the design lies a large creamy white rose, its tightly layered petals creating a sense of stillness and pure remembrance. On either side, deep purple calla lilies unfurl in sleek, trumpet-shaped forms, their velvety texture and rich tone adding depth and dignity to the tribute, much like the quiet corners of St George in the East churchyard in nearby Shadwell. Scattered throughout are airy clematis blooms in lavender and soft lilac, each with a dainty yellow heart that lightens the palette and evokes the softness of a riverside breeze. Small sprays of yellow and white flowers, reminiscent of freesia or alstroemeria, offer lively pops of colour, suggesting gentle hope and the enduring warmth of family and friendship. At the right edge, a single magenta gerbera daisy emerges from the foliage, its daisy-like face and radiating petals honouring the individuality of the life being celebrated. Lush green foliage surrounds and supports the blooms: broad, glossy leaves anchor the arrangement, while lighter, more delicate sprigs weave in and out, adding movement and fullness to the rounded silhouette. A soft shadow beneath the basket adds depth, making it appear freshly placed on a table in a quiet Shadwell home or funeral reception room. Overall, the bouquet feels thoughtful and serene, ideal for expressing sympathy, offering condolences, or accompanying a funeral or memorial service throughout Shadwell and neighbouring Limehouse and Wapping.
TREASURED MOMENTS BASKET
£65.00
A softly illuminated studio photograph captures a graceful funeral flower basket placed in front of a seamless white backdrop, with each bloom arranged to suggest calm and reflection. The light-coloured wicker basket has a smooth, oval-to-rectangular shape and a matching handle that curves in a gentle arch above the flowers, evoking the feeling of something handwoven with care rather than mass-produced. Within it, the arrangement rises in a rounded mound of white, cream, lemon and muted lavender tones. At the centre, several large creamy white roses unfold fully, their velvety petals forming perfect rosettes that radiate quiet dignity. Around them, star-shaped clematis flowers in soft lilac and periwinkle blue introduce a cool, almost misty note, their yellow-green centres providing soft points of light. Weaving through the design, clusters of small white and pale yellow blooms reminiscent of freesia bring a delicate, sweet fragrance to mind, some stems still bearing closed buds that hint at new blossoms yet to open. Fluffy, ruffled white flowers like lisianthus round out the shape, making the arrangement appear full but never heavy. A generous collar of dark, glossy green foliage encircles and supports the flowers, with broad leaves at the base and finer stems threading upward, much like the greenery seen along the paths towards nearby King Edward Memorial Park. The palette and form together create a sense of peace and gentle support, making this basket an appropriate choice for a funeral or condolence message in Shadwell, whether sent to a home off Cable Street or to a small service close to Shadwell DLR, where a touch of natural beauty can mean so much.
PEACE & PURITY BASKET
£65.00
This image shows a calm and elegant funeral flower basket, carefully designed to offer comfort and respect. The container is a low, oval basket made from pale, natural wood, its slatted sides and small, integrated feet giving it a gentle, rustic refinement. An arched handle in a light, creamy tone curves elegantly over the centre, framing the flowers beneath. Within this structure, the blooms form a full, rounded dome with no sharp lines, just a soft mound that appears to gently spill over the edges. Prominent among the flowers are creamy white roses, fully opened, their petals unfolding in layers that catch the light with a quiet, satin sheen, evoking purity and a peaceful farewell. Interwoven with them are deep crimson carnations, rich and densely ruffled, adding depth, contrast, and a sense of enduring love. Some carnations appear in softer, variegated tones, white or pale pink petals brushed with hints of red, like delicate watercolour strokes that ease the eye from light to dark. Smaller white blossoms, likely freesias, peek out on slender stems, their bell-shaped flowers suggesting softness and a faint, sweet fragrance. The arrangement rests on a bed of lush green foliage, with broad, glossy leaves giving structure and weight, while airy, fern-like sprigs rise and trail around the edges, creating a natural, graceful outline that could be at home in a quiet Shadwell church or chapel. Against the pure white background, each colour and texture stands out clearly, making this basket a fitting tribute for funerals, memorials, or condolence deliveries to families across Shadwell and the neighbouring riverside streets.
REMEMBRANCE BASKET
£60.00
This photograph showcases a beautifully domed bouquet set against a bright white studio-style background, allowing every petal and leaf to stand out with crisp clarity. The flowers are gathered into a compact, rounded shape, as if a small, abundant garden had been gathered straight from a Shadwell balcony and tied into one harmonious cluster. Dominating the arrangement are opulent garden roses in shades of blush pink, soft yellow, and delicate peach, many of them in full bloom with luxuriant, layered petals that curl and twist elegantly. Some are still in earlier stages, creating a rhythm of tight centres and open faces throughout the bouquet. Weaving through the roses are star-shaped clematis flowers in pale lavender and white, their elongated petals and bright yellow or white centres bringing a sense of lightness and movement, like climbing vines along a Shadwell townhouse wall. Adding a bolder, more structural note are several stems of blue eryngium, their spiky, thistle-like heads shimmering in cool metallic blue-grey tones, giving the bouquet a modern edge. Deep purple lisianthus, both open blooms and tightly furled buds, nestle between the softer pastels, lending a velvety richness reminiscent of twilight over nearby Wapping. Scattered clusters of glossy red hypericum berries dot the design, adding lively bursts of colour and a playful, bead-like texture. The flowers sit within a generous surround of foliage: wide, lustrous green leaves coupled with delicate, feathery sprigs and hints of darker, burgundy-hued greens, all of which create a full, rounded silhouette. The bouquet radiates joy and quiet elegance, perfectly suited for a Shadwell home celebration, a sophisticated thank-you, or a same-day local delivery that brings the feel of a carefully curated garden indoors.
ETERNAL MEMORY POSY
£100.00
From an overhead viewpoint on a pristine white field, this densely composed, round bouquet reads as a lesson in white-on-white harmony. Prominent are several large white oriental lilies with broad, trumpet-shaped petals and pale greenish-yellow stamens that register as quiet focal points amid the softer shapes. Surrounding them are numerous cream and ivory roses, many in tight bud stage or gently opening, their layered petals forming compact, velvety islands that diffuse the lilies' drama into a gentler rhythm. Interlaced through the arrangement, delicate sprays of white Baby's Breath (Gypsophila) create an ethereal, cloud-like infill, their tiny flowers adding intricate detail and a soft, frosted texture against the larger blooms. A few bright green leaves emerge around the perimeter, providing fresh contrast and subtly emphasizing the bouquet's circular geometry. The lighting suggests a soft morning glow - think early light near Shadwell Basin - which highlights the flowers' cream tones and lends an almost palpable sense of freshness. The scent is quietly heady: the lilies' sweet perfume lifted by the roses' warm, powdery notes and the airy neutrality of the Baby's Breath. This arrangement suits occasions that call for purity and calm - weddings, christenings, sympathetic tributes, or an elegant gift for someone dear. Prepared with local care and attention to proportion and texture, it reflects the kind of thoughtful floral design you might expect from a neighbourhood artisan florist delivering across Shadwell and nearby Wapping.
COMPASSION POSY
£90.00
Against a clean white studio backdrop, this lush, tightly gathered bouquet of lilies, roses, and baby's breath takes on the air of a carefully composed artwork, the kind of piece a seasoned Shadwell florist would create for a heartfelt celebration. The design is rounded and full, with blooms pressed closely together so that colour, texture, and form gently blend. At its core, several generous white lilies open in wide, star-shaped trumpets, their creamy petals arching back to reveal pale green centres and softly dusted stamens. Wrapped around and between the lilies are roses in tender shades of blush pink and warm ivory, each bloom showing a different stage of life-from shy, closed buds to fully unfurled blossoms whose velvety petals fold outward in layered spirals. Vivid fuchsia and magenta Oriental lilies, similar to Stargazer lilies, punctuate the arrangement, their bold colour and speckled petals creating a striking counterpoint to the calmer pastels. These dramatic blooms frame golden-yellow anthers that stand out like tiny sparks of light. Feather-light clusters of white baby's breath fill every small gap, forming a fine, airy network that softens the bouquet's contours and suggests an almost bridal delicacy. Slender green leaves and lily stems emerge in discreet flashes, grounding the design with natural freshness reminiscent of a walk along Wapping's riverside paths on a clear morning. The bouquet is lit with bright, even light that emphasises the crisp edges of each petal and the gentle sheen across their surfaces, making the flowers appear cool and newly cut. This arrangement seems perfect for life's most emotional moments around Shadwell-from engagements and anniversaries to thoughtful gestures of comfort or congratulations delivered to homes and offices near Shadwell DLR.
CHERISHED MOMENTS POSY
£90.00
In this compact, rounded tribute presented on a clean white background, the arrangement feels like a sheltered garden captured at dawn. Large, fully opened pink roses form the visual anchors - their layered petals folding outward in a quiet show of softness - while smaller spray roses in paler pink shades nestle in between, creating depth and a sense of gentle movement. Bright white freesias are threaded through the composition, some unfurled to display their fragile, bell-shaped faces and subtle yellow stamens, others still in tight, upright buds that add sculptural texture and a promise of unfolding life. Rich, glossy foliage - the substantial leaves of salal or ruscus - creates a deep green backdrop, and variegated leaves with cream margins (likely pittosporum) lift highlights and catch the light. There are no visible stems; the dense, cushion-like construction is deliberate, giving the piece a formal, comforting presence. Natural daylight softens the palette, enhancing the velvety feel of the roses and the freesia's clean, almost citrus-sweet perfume. As a local floral composition available for delivery across Shadwell and neighbouring Wapping and Limehouse, this design from Florist Shadwell reads as both reassuring and refined: appropriate for a memorial service or a tasteful gift to mark a quiet birthday, a new baby's arrival, or a thoughtful bedside visit. The overall impression is one of gentle care - a bouquet that speaks in soft tones and steady craftsmanship.
