WEDDING COLLECTIONS
Set against the crisp line of a tailored suit, the boutonnière's single red rose curls with practiced grace, a miniature echo of the bridal bouquet that carries the same bold colour story and botanical texture. Beside it, the larger arrangement assembles dramatic blue hydrangeas into a lush base that gives breadth and movement, while deep red roses punctuate the composition with romantic authority. Wisps of gypsophila float like confetti, and rounded eucalyptus leaves trail gently, adding a cool, aromatic note that balances the sweetness of the flowers. The boutonnière is fastened with neat greenery tendrils, echoing the bouquet's trailing elements so the pair reads as a considered portrait: confident, intimate, and elegantly modern. The contrast between the suit's tailored fabric and the flowers' organic forms heightens both the formal and the spontaneous-an effect a florist might see often at local weddings near Shadwell Station and along Cable Street. The scent is fresh and garden-like, a green citrus-tinged eucalyptus undercurrent weaving through the honeyed rose perfume and the clean, watery note of hydrangea. The whole ensemble looks composed for photography-a tactile, fragrant story told in saturated blues and rubies-yet it is equally suited to quiet moments: a groom's breath as he leans close, a pocket pressed to his chest, the small, steadying weight of blooms chosen to celebrate a lifelong promise.

Framed across four panels, this wedding floral study balances warmth and refinement: a hand-tied bridal bouquet composed of soft peach roses forms the heart of the arrangement, each bloom rounded and full with velvety layers that reflect a gentle, apricot-tinted light. Surrounding them are crisp white lisianthus whose edges blush with a lively purple, the ruffled petals offering playful animation around the central roses. Sprays of baby's breath are woven through the grouping, lending an airy, cloud-like softness that contrasts with the solidity of the roses. The bouquet's stems are neatly wrapped in blush ribbon and secured with subtle pearl-headed pins, details that read vintage yet thoroughly contemporary when seen against the lace or satin of a wedding gown. A smaller companion bouquet lies on a textured neutral fabric below, its peach ribbon handle hinting at bridesmaid duties or the tradition of the toss. Top-right, the groom's boutonniere anchors the ensemble: a single peach rose pinned to a charcoal jacket, paired with delicate greenery and baby's breath and finished with a neat peach ribbon that coordinates with a matching tie, creating a cohesive groom-bride dialogue. The bottom-right shows a reception centerpiece-a domed cluster of the same roses and purple-edged lisianthus cradled in an openwork white basket, accompanied by two pale woven spheres on a muted table; the overall mood is serene, unified, and quietly celebratory. As a florist who frequently styles weddings around Shadwell Basin and Limehouse, I appreciate how this palette photographs beautifully in soft daylight and holds its charm throughout a long wedding day.
''SI'' WEDDING COLLECTION

This four-part wedding image captures a perfectly coordinated floral story, as if prepared for a stylish Shadwell ceremony overlooking the Thames. In the top-left frame, the bride is seen from the chest down, her white, softly textured gown providing a calm backdrop for a dramatic cascading bouquet. Large, star-shaped oriental lilies in pure white form the focal point, their stamens adding a hint of depth. From the heart of the bouquet, where a single buttery cream rose is nestled among bright green pompom-like blooms, delicate white Phalaenopsis orchids tumble down in a waterfall of petals. Bright red berries, airy clusters of gypsophila, and slender strands of green foliage lace between the flowers, creating a lively contrast of colour and texture against the neutral background. The top-right panel zooms in on the groom, dressed in a deep charcoal or black suit with a crisp white shirt and a strong red tie. Pinned neatly to his lapel is a petite boutonnière that mirrors the bridal flowers: one pristine white orchid bloom, a small accent of green spherical flowers, and tiny white filler blossoms, all tied carefully with a bright red ribbon at the base. The bottom-left image restages this boutonnière on a softly textured beige fabric like natural linen, highlighting its sculptural shape, the velvety petals, and the satiny sheen of the ribbon. In the bottom-right, the cascading bouquet is shown in full, standing in a white woven basket-style vase on a white surface with three white wicker spheres beside it. Together, the set conveys a harmonious, modern wedding aesthetic, ideal for couples exchanging vows anywhere from Cable Street to the quieter corners of Shadwell.
BE MINE WEDDING COLLECTION
from £520.00

This four-image collage showcases a cohesive wedding collection that would look perfectly at home in Shadwell's townhouses or riverside hotels, all built around fuchsia peonies, white alstroemeria, and lush greenery. In the top-left panel, the bride appears from the neckline down, wearing a classic strapless white dress. Her bouquet is full and rounded, with large magenta peonies forming the heart of the arrangement. Their softly ruffled petals open outwards, surrounded by white alstroemeria whose petals are delicately marked with maroon streaks. Spiky pale-green blooms and rich green leaves add freshness and texture, giving the bouquet a vibrant, almost dewy presence. Her hands, with a fine ring glinting subtly, hold the stems with a sense of calm expectation. In the top-right panel, the groom's dark charcoal suit and lavender tie frame a carefully crafted boutonniere pinned to his lapel. The small cluster of white alstroemeria, slim green spikes, and polished foliage is secured with a satin lavender ribbon, echoing the bridal bouquet's colours and bringing a refined cohesion to his look. The bottom-left panel shows a smaller matching bouquet placed on a soft beige textured background, like it has been set down on a dressing table in a Shadwell apartment. It mirrors the same floral recipe-fuchsia peonies, white alstroemeria, and green accents-its stems bound in lavender ribbon, suggesting a bridesmaid or toss bouquet. The bottom-right panel shifts the flowers into a decorative role: a compact arrangement of the same blooms spills from a white spherical woven vase, accompanied by three lighter beige woven spheres, ideal for wedding centerpieces at local Shadwell venues.
EVERLASTING LOVE WEDDING COLLECTION
from £217.00

In this wedding portrait-style image, the bride's bouquet is held close to a lace gown, drawing attention to its soft, romantic composition. The bouquet is primarily made up of tightly clustered pink roses, each flower plush and full, with velvety petals curling inward and outward in subtle spirals. The pink shades are delicate, ranging from pale blush to a more tender, mid-toned rose pink that feels warm and affectionate, much like the intimate atmosphere of a small ceremony in Shadwell. Surrounding the roses is a generous halo of white gypsophila, or baby's breath, creating a cloud-like border that makes the bouquet appear light and almost weightless in the bride's hands. The countless tiny white blooms echo the intricate patterns of the lace dress, so that flowers and fabric seem to speak to one another in a shared language of texture and detail. The background is softly blurred, placing the emphasis firmly on the bouquet and the close embrace of the bride's arms. Gentle natural light bathes the arrangement, enhancing the creamy whites of the gypsophila and the tender pinks of the roses without creating harsh contrasts. You can imagine a gentle, powdery fragrance rising from the bouquet, accompanying the quiet rustle of lace as the bride moves, perhaps stepping out from a townhouse near Shadwell station toward a nearby riverside venue. The design feels thoughtfully composed and timeless, a classic choice that would suit both traditional church weddings and more modern celebrations in the refurbished warehouses along the water, capturing the emotion of the day in every petal and tiny bloom.
FOREVER TOGETHER WEDDING COLLECTION

This image is a refined four-part collage that tells the floral story of a red rose and baby's breath wedding, much like those we often create for couples marrying near Shadwell and Wapping. The top-left panel shows a bride in a traditional white lace wedding dress, holding a perfectly rounded bouquet close to her waist. The bouquet is densely packed with velvety red roses, each bloom nestled tightly against the next, with tiny white baby's breath woven throughout like soft mist, and glimpses of fresh green foliage adding balance and contrast. The top-right panel zooms in on the groom's boutonniere, set against a dark grey suit jacket, crisp white shirt, and vivid red tie. A single red rosebud is accented by petite sprays of baby's breath, pointed green leaves, and fine strands of decorative grass, finished with a small red satin ribbon that sits just at the edge of the lapel, evoking the polished style of a city wedding near the Shadwell DLR. In the bottom-left image, another lush bouquet-similar to the bridal one-rests on a pale, textured grey surface, its open red roses and airy baby's breath fluffed into a rounded shape. The stems are neatly wrapped and secured with red and white striped twine, showing the handcrafted detail an experienced florist would bring to a local East London celebration. The bottom-right panel presents a charming table centerpiece: a tight dome of red roses and baby's breath perched on a spherical white vase made from interlaced strands that create an airy lattice. Two smaller woven balls in a natural off-white tone sit in front, completing a coordinated, modern yet romantic wedding look.

The image shows a carefully composed wedding ensemble, the sort of romantic styling that could be awaiting a ceremony in one of Shadwell's converted warehouses or riverside venues. Dominating the scene is the bride's bouquet, a luxuriant cluster of cream peonies with wide, ruffled blooms, nestled among blush-pink roses. Shades of saturated magenta and gentle lavender appear here and there, giving the bouquet a soft, painterly depth. Surrounding the main flowers, white gypsophila forms a light, airy border, like a breath of mist around a garden in early morning. The flowers are cradled by smooth, sculptural green leaves, their surfaces slightly glossy, grounding the pastel palette with natural freshness. Lying nearby, the groom's boutonnière repeats the same story in miniature. A single lilac-tinged rose sits at its heart, supported by fine, feathery greenery and a scatter of baby's breath, its stems tied neatly with a narrow lavender ribbon that catches the light. In the background, you sense complementary arrangements-perhaps one set in a white woven vase on a reception table-carrying forward the hues of cream, blush and green. The lighting is gentle and diffuse, suggesting an indoor space just off The Highway or near Shadwell Overground, where natural daylight seeps in and bathes the flowers in a flattering glow. The overall feeling is one of quiet romance and thoughtful design, the craftsmanship evident in each placement and pairing, ready to accompany vows, photographs, and an evening of celebration.
L'AMORE WEDDING COLLECTION
from £340.00

A serene wedding story unfolds across four carefully composed floral images, capturing how one romantic theme can flow through every detail of a Shadwell celebration. In the top left, a bride's mid-torso and hands are shown against the delicate pattern of her white lace dress, cradling a lavish cascading bouquet. White phalaenopsis orchids with buttery-yellow throats drape down like silk ribbons, mingling with blush pink garden roses, airy lavender stock, tiny white clouds of gypsophila, and glossy green foliage. Spikes of deeper, fuchsia-toned blooms punctuate the soft pastels, giving the bouquet a modern edge while keeping its dreamy, ethereal feel. The top right frame moves to the groom, focusing closely on the dark charcoal or black lapel of his suit. A vibrant red tie and a subtly patterned shirt peek out, while a single white phalaenopsis orchid boutonniere, circled by baby's breath and slender greenery, is tied with a crisp white satin ribbon and pinned with care. This same orchid buttonhole is shown again in the bottom left, resting alone on a pale beige, linen-like fabric. The image draws attention to the clean wrapping, the curvature of the orchid, and the tiny gypsophila buds, as if laid out on a dressing table in a Shadwell townhouse before the ceremony. Completing the collage, the bottom right shows a wedding centerpiece echoing the bridal bouquet's colours, arranged in a white woven cylinder vase. Orchids, pink roses, lilac stock, baby's breath, and greenery rise abundantly, with deeper pink accents tucked within, flanked by two decorative white woven spheres. Together, the four images feel like a cohesive wedding collection, ideal for a reception near Shadwell Basin or one of the area's intimate venues.
LA VIE EST BELLE WEDDING COLLECTION
from £530.00

This quartet of images reads like a small, elegant wedding story-each panel supporting the same scarlet-and-snow palette with careful, considered detail. In the upper-left a bride holds a grand cascading bouquet against a soft beige background: open white lilies and lush red roses tumble with trailing white phalaenopsis orchids, sprigs of Gypsophila and bright red hypericum berries threaded through glossy and wispy greens, the lace of her bodice catching the same gentle morning light. The top-right frame focuses tightly on the groom's lapel-dark charcoal fabric and a vivid red tie beneath-where a single pristine white phalaenopsis orchid becomes the boutonniere's star, accompanied by two small clusters of red hypericum berries, tiny sprays of baby's breath and neat green leaves, finished with a slender loop of matching red ribbon that ties him to the bouquet visually. The lower-left inset shows a matching corsage or boutonniere laid on a textured beige linen surface, allowing the viewer to appreciate the orchid's satin sheen, the waxy hypericum berries and the fine threading that holds everything in place. The lower-right panel displays a low, woven white vase as a reception centerpiece on a white table, flanked by white spherical decorations; it repeats the same floral language-white lilies, red roses, cascading phalaenopsis, baby's breath and mixed foliage-creating a unified look suitable for venues around Shadwell, from intimate canal-side rooms to a small chapel near Cable Street. The overall impression is refined, tactile and fragrant, a composition that promises ceremony, warmth and attentive craftsmanship.
LOVE DEVOTION WEDDING COLLECTION
from £530.00

This four-panel image captures a coordinated set of orchid and rose wedding flowers, styled with the kind of quiet luxury you might see at an intimate celebration in Shadwell or along nearby Narrow Street. In the top-left panel, a bride in a strapless white gown holds a generous cascading bouquet that flows almost like water over her hands. White phalaenopsis orchids arc outward, their broad petals luminous against layers of blush and soft pink roses, touches of lavender blooms, and little clouds of baby's breath. Wisps of greenery weave through the design, giving it movement and a gentle, garden-like feel. The top-right panel pulls us close to the groom's dark grey lapel, where a single white phalaenopsis orchid boutonniere is pinned. It is framed by small lavender filler flowers and a few polished green leaves, all gathered with a narrow purple ribbon that subtly matches his magenta tie. Below, on the bottom-left, another boutonniere rests on a pale, textured fabric that resembles linen laid out on a Shadwell townhouse table. This version features a pristine white orchid bud combined with white baby's breath and fresh foliage, tied with a vibrant pink ribbon for a brighter, more playful accent. The bottom-right panel shows a statement cascading arrangement in an intricate white woven vase. White orchids, pink and lavender roses, tiny purple filler flowers, and baby's breath overflow in layers, creating a showpiece that could stand proudly at a ceremony entrance or reception table. Three white woven decorative spheres of varying sizes sit beside the vase, echoing its texture and reinforcing the soft, modern romance that unites all four designs.

The image shows an elegant wedding flower pairing styled for a contemporary Shadwell celebration: a lush bridal bouquet and a coordinating boutonnière. The bouquet's shape is pleasingly round and full, built around mauve-pink roses whose petals are soft and velvety, gently cupped and curling at the edges to reveal layers of colour that shift from blush to light lavender. Tucked between the roses are vivid green button chrysanthemums, their small, dome-shaped heads packed with texture like miniature topiary mounds, bright as the new leaves along the paths by Shadwell Basin. Creamy white lisianthus and other pale blooms ripple through the arrangement, their delicately ruffled petals adding a billowing, romantic quality that softens the entire design. Sprigs of fresh foliage in varied shades of green surround and weave through the blooms, adding depth and a natural rhythm so the bouquet feels both polished and organic. The stems are gathered tightly and wrapped in smooth satin ribbon in coordinating pink and white, leaving just the cut ends visible; the handle looks comfortable to hold from the walk down The Highway to the first dance. Gentle, diffused light bathes the flowers, creating subtle shadows between petals and making each curve and fold stand out. Set nearby, the boutonnière reflects the bouquet in miniature: a single white lisianthus or rosebud, trimmed with dainty greenery and tied with a slender lavender-toned ribbon. This small piece is designed for a neat lapel finish, perfect for a groom or partner at a riverside ceremony or a gathering near Cable Street. The entire composition conveys calm excitement, unity, and the attentive artistry of a Shadwell florist practiced in crafting meaningful wedding flowers.
PURE ROMANCE WEDDING COLLECTION
from £400.00

This four-part collage captures a coordinated red rose wedding collection, evoking the atmosphere of an intimate Shadwell celebration close to the Thames. The top-left panel focuses on the bride, whose white gown creates a clear, luminous backdrop for the bouquet in her hands. The design is compact and rounded, created from tightly grouped deep red roses whose velvety petals overlap in rich layers. Between the roses, red hypericum berries gleam like tiny droplets, while a neatly shaped collar of dark green foliage circles the base, lending the bouquet a defined, polished silhouette that sits comfortably in her grip. In the top-right panel, attention turns to the groom's charcoal-grey suit. Pinned to his lapel is a single red rosebud boutonniere, framed by light, feathery greenery and soft specks of white gypsophila. A few red berries echo the tones of the bridal bouquet, and a small red satin ribbon secures the stems, complementing the vivid red tie and crisp white shirt-an elegant finishing touch for a Shadwell registry office or nearby church ceremony. The bottom-left panel presents another bouquet lying on textured beige fabric, hinting at a bridesmaid's posy or a decorative piece for a welcome table. Here, open red roses and clusters of berries are embraced by bold, dark green tropical leaves that sweep around the blooms in smooth, architectural curves. The stems are wrapped in a red ribbon, adding a final note of colour. The bottom-right panel reveals a table centerpiece crafted from red roses and berries, neatly rounded into a dome and placed on a white, intricately woven spherical base made from natural fibres. Two smaller, wood-toned woven orbs rest nearby on a pale surface, while a soft beige-grey wall completes the backdrop. Together, these four images show how a single red rose theme can weave through a Shadwell wedding day, from the walk down the aisle to the last toast at the reception.
ROYAL ESSENCE WEDDING COLLECTION
from £200.00

This four-panel collage captures a complete wedding floral story in romantic pastels and bright green, the kind often chosen by couples marrying in Shadwell's historic riverside venues. In the top-left panel, the bride's midsection is framed against her white lace dress as she holds a rounded, hand-tied bouquet. The flowers are densely packed: light pink and soft lavender roses, some tightly furled and others fully open, mingle with fresh green button chrysanthemums, gentle pink alstroemeria lined with fine yellow freckles, and soft clouds of white baby's breath, all cushioned by deep green foliage for contrast. The top-right image shifts to the groom's charcoal grey suit jacket and rich fuchsia tie, where a boutonniere sits proudly on the lapel. It features a single pale pink rosebud flanked by miniature green button chrysanthemums, sprigs of gypsophila, and a slim blade of decorative grass, bound together with a neat pink ribbon that nods to the bridal bouquet's colour scheme. In the lower-left panel, a similar bouquet rests on a light beige, textured surface, allowing the viewer to appreciate the tidy stems wrapped in fuchsia ribbon and the even dome of roses, alstroemeria, chrysanthemums, and baby's breath above. The lower-right panel shows the same floral recipe as a centerpiece: a tight, rounded cluster of pink and lavender roses, lime-toned chrysanthemums, pink alstroemeria, and white baby's breath arranged in a white spherical vase with a woven lattice design. Two small, pale woven spheres sit alongside, suggesting a contemporary yet soft table arrangement for a Shadwell reception near the Thames.

A close, intimate study of a groom's boutonniere pinned to a dark charcoal suit lapel, photographed to emphasise texture, contrast and quiet craftsmanship. At its heart sits a single creamy-white rose bud, petals just beginning to unfurl, their soft sheen catching the light against the tailored suit's weave. Surrounding the bud are whispers of baby's breath and a small cluster of fresh green foliage, chosen to echo the bridal bouquet and tie the couple's florals together visually. A neat white satin bow is tied at the stems' base, the ribbon's smooth lustre presenting a delicate, finished note beneath the flower. The groom's crisp white shirt and a bold, smooth red silk tie create a sophisticated palette of deep slate, bright white and warm red - the boutonniere's pale tones offering a calm counterpoint. The image suggests a cool spring morning, the subtle fragrance of the rose imagined as a gentle reassurance before vows are spoken. Photographed close-up, the arrangement reveals careful wiring and taping at the stem, the florist's small technical choices that ensure comfort and longevity throughout the day. There is an artisan's satisfaction evident in the balance of scale: the single bud proportioned to the lapel, the foliage trimmed to frame without overpowering. For weddings in Shadwell or nearby St Katharine's Docks, this boutonniere would complement both classic suits and more relaxed modern tailoring, a small but meaningful flourish that carries charm and tradition.
THE ONE WEDDING COLLECTION
from £432.00

In this image, a wedding bouquet is presented as if paused in a quiet moment before being carried down the aisle, its colours and textures glowing softly in filtered daylight. The bouquet has a rounded, gently domed shape, filled with plush white lisianthus, pastel hydrangea in the palest whisper of blue or lilac, and playful lilac allium whose spherical clusters give a touch of whimsy. Each bloom appears freshly gathered, the petals smooth and cool, almost dewy, while the greenery adds a crisp contrast, with clean lines and subtle movement that guide the eye around the arrangement. The stems are neatly wrapped, likely in a soft ribbon, creating a comfortable handle that would sit naturally in the bride's hand as she walks through Shadwell's quiet church doors or steps out of a townhouse by Shadwell Basin. Light catches on the hydrangea and lisianthus, giving them a gentle inner glow, as if the early morning sun has settled on the bouquet. There is an air of youthful serenity about it, the kind of calm joy that comes at the beginning of a wedding day when everything still feels new and full of possibility. Imagining the scent, it would be understated and fresh rather than overpowering, a mix of garden softness and a subtle green note from the foliage. Crafted with an experienced florist's eye for balance and meaning, each flower choice feels intentional, symbolising tenderness, devotion, and constancy. Whether captured in a photograph along The Highway or held close in an intimate Shadwell registry office ceremony, this bouquet quietly embodies a promise of forever, refined yet welcoming.
THE PERFECT MATCH WEDDING COLLECTION

This boutonnière presents a study in understated elegance: a single, velvety peach rosebud sits at the centre, its petals unfurling with refined restraint, framed by delicate sprays of gypsophila and a fine, verdant wisp of foliage. The rose's warm coral-amber hue is echoed by a subtle peach ribbon bow at the base, neatly tied to sit flush against a charcoal or navy jacket lapel and to harmonise with a coral tie and crisp white shirt beneath. Lighting in the image emphasizes the contrast between the rose's soft, luminous surface and the tailored texture of the suit fabric, creating a tactile dialogue between bloom and cloth. Up close, you can see the careful wiring and tape work that keeps the boutonnière compact and comfortable-details a bridegroom appreciates all the more while stepping up to exchange vows near local landmarks such as Shadwell Green or St. Mary's. The arrangement is small but carries a quiet confidence, its scent whispering of fresh petals rather than perfume, and it speaks to the long tradition of wearing a token of florals close to the heart on a day of meaning. As a florist familiar with East London weddings, I would craft this to sit securely throughout photographs and speeches, reflecting both the couple's chosen palette and the same thoughtful craftsmanship you'd expect from neighbourhood studios serving Wapping, Limehouse and the surrounding docks.
THE SOUND OF LOVE WEDDING COLLECTION

Captured in gentle morning light, this four-panel image unfolds like a quiet love letter in white and purple. In the top-left panel a bride in a strapless ivory gown holds a generous bouquet close to her body; the scent of creamy oriental lilies seems almost perceptible as open flowers reveal their pale stamens while neighboring lily buds suggest unfolding moments ahead. Interspersed are white lisianthus whose edges bloom into soft purple halos, and slim spikes of deep purple veronica that add a stately, almost musical cadence to the silhouette. Fine grassy foliage and broader glossy leaves provide a layered green backdrop, with delicate gypsophila lending an airy, pearly finish. The top-right panel focuses on a groom's boutonnière on a dark charcoal coat, where a solitary purple-rimmed lisianthus, a tucked lily bud, and a sprig of purple accents sit against a luxurious purple silk tie - a careful miniature of the bridal palette. Bottom-left displays a bridesmaid's hand-tied posy laid on a textured beige cloth; its stems are tightly wrapped in white ribbon, clean and tactile to the touch. Bottom-right presents a tall, sculptural centerpiece in a white, open-lattice spherical vase; cascading foliage and upright lilies reach skyward among the same purple-edge lisianthus and spiky accents, balanced by two woven beige spheres on the table surface. As a florist who often works for weddings around Shadwell Basin and the nearby docks, I recognise this timeless pairing as both contemporary and warm - an arrangement that feels at home beside cobbled streets and quiet waters.
TODAY, TOMORROW, FOREVER WEDDING COLLECTION
from £384.00

Captured in close detail, the groom's boutonniere in this Shadwell wedding setting offers a striking yet understated display of floral craftsmanship. At its core, a single red rose is in perfect bloom, its velvety petals layered tightly into a rich spiral that suggests both tenderness and strength. Surrounding the rose, carefully chosen sprigs of greenery provide a deep green backdrop, their shapes crisp and tailored, echoing the clean lines of the groom's suit. Tiny berries, rounded and slightly glossy, nestle between the leaves, adding a subtle texture that catches the light. Minute clusters of baby's breath lend a soft, cloud-like touch of white, lightening the palette and tying quietly into the bridal flowers nearby. The boutonniere rests neatly on the groom's lapel, close to a crimson tie whose sheen mirrors the rose's colour, creating a harmonious, coordinated look that might have been planned in a Shadwell studio near The Highway. Under gentle indoor lighting, each element has its own character: the smooth, almost suede-like rose petals, the firmer feel of the leaves, and the discreet firmness of the berries. This small composition feels classic yet individual, suitable for a ceremony overlooking the river or a reception tucked away on one of Shadwell's quieter side streets. More than a simple accessory, the boutonniere acts as a wearable keepsake, a tiny garden pinned close to the heart throughout a day of vows, photographs by Shadwell Basin, and joyful toasts. Even as the evening wears on, this single rose continues to tell the story of commitment, companionship, and the happiness of being chosen.
TRUE HAPPINESS WEDDING COLLECTION

In soft, natural light the boutonnière reads like a miniature poem: a single pale yellow rose, velvety and unblemished, sits at the heart of the piece, flanked by airy sprigs of baby's breath and a few slender, bright-green leaves. The textures are a study in contrast-the rose's plush, downy petals against the featherlight gypsophila and the fine, crisp stems-each element chosen to be gentle on the lapel yet visually distinct. Tied with a neat white ribbon that peeks beneath the blooms, the boutonnière is pinned against a smart black jacket and paired here with a vivid red tie, the deep fabric tones making the rose's pale warmth sing. There's a tactile intimacy to holding such a small arrangement: the softness of the petals, the faintly rough twist of the ribbon, the cool metallic touch of the pin. For a groom or guest walking from a Shadwell flat toward nearby St George's Church, this tiny floral accent signals calm affection amid wedding-day excitement; it's a discreet, fragrant signifier of togetherness. As an experienced florist I craft these small pieces to sit comfortably with the wearer-secure, fragrant, and proportioned-so that every moment from doorway to altar carries a quiet, considered touch of floral care, resonant with the neighbourhood's gentle, celebratory rhythm.
