BASKETS / POSIES
An elegant, hand-filled wicker basket captured on a pure white backdrop, the arrangement carefully balanced between crisp white blooms and blush-pink softness to evoke quiet joy. Dominant among the flowers are pristine white Gerbera daisies, each with a striking deep brown centre that anchors the sunny white petals and creates a pleasing graphic focal point. Between them, clusters of light pink carnations provide a frothy, romantic counterpoint, their frilled edges and gentle scent adding warmth and intimacy. Punctuating the composition are small, pale yellow and white spray chrysanthemums or asters, which fill the spaces with a comforting, cloud-like texture, while tiny lavender-blue accent flowers slip among the foliage to introduce a whisper of cool contrast. The bouquet rests in a rustic, pale-willow basket with a smooth, arched brown handle that frames the display and speaks of careful handcrafting. Lush greenery-rounded silvery eucalyptus with its calming aroma and darker, glossy ruscus that trails gracefully to the left-gives movement and structure, creating a soft cascade that suggests the arrangement was made to sit on a mantle or beside a hospital bed. The lighting is bright and even, revealing the delicate veins on each petal and the subtle matte sheen of the eucalyptus. As experienced florists on the Isle of Dogs, we design pieces like this to convey sympathy, gratitude or quiet celebration; Isle of Dogs Florist can prepare and arrange this style for thoughtful local delivery around Canary Wharf, Westferry and nearby Docklands streets.
ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU BASKET
£50.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY BASKET
£60.00
A white studio backdrop highlights a serene funeral flower basket, its pale woven wicker and tall curved handle forming a simple, graceful frame around a lush, rounded arrangement. The composition feels like it has been assembled with quiet care by a local florist on the Isle of Dogs, perhaps destined for a service close to Island Gardens or a family home overlooking the Thames. At the heart of the display, a single creamy white rose opens in perfect spirals, symbolising peace and remembrance. Flanking this central bloom, two deep plum-purple calla lilies curve elegantly outward, their smooth, sculptural trumpets adding a touch of formality that suits a respectful condolence tribute. Interwoven among them are delicate clematis-like flowers in shades of lavender and pale lilac, each star-shaped bloom with a soft yellow centre lifting the palette with an airy, almost whisper-light quality. Bright accents of yellow, likely from alstroemeria or freesia, appear in small clusters, creating gentle sparks of hope amid the more muted tones, while white and pale green buds provide additional texture and softness. Off to one side, a vivid magenta gerbera daisy draws the eye, its bold ring of petals a tender reminder of joyful memories amidst loss. All of these blossoms are cradled in a generous base of lush greenery, with broad, glossy leaves and finer, lighter foliage combining to form a natural cushion that feels both fresh and abundant. A subtle shadow beneath the basket gives depth to the scene, emphasising the arrangement's presence. The overall mood is calm and contemplative, ideal for conveying sympathy, marking a farewell, or sending a thoughtful tribute across the Isle of Dogs.
TREASURED MOMENTS BASKET
£65.00
Set against a clean white backdrop, this refined funeral flower basket appears almost to float, its pale woven handle forming a soft arch that frames the blooms within. The arrangement is compact yet generous, shaped into a rounded, embracing form that feels quietly protective, like a comforting presence in a family gathering on the Isle of Dogs. Dominating the centre are large, open roses in creamy white, their petals smooth and full, cupped around the heart of each flower as though guarding a final, tender message. Between the roses, star-shaped clematis blooms in light lavender and periwinkle reach outward, their fine petals stretching around vibrant yellow-green centres, providing subtle contrast and a gentle, uplifting brightness. Around them, sprays of small white and pale yellow flowers, reminiscent of freesia or similar fragrant blooms, weave in and out, some still in tight buds that suggest the promise of renewal. Their delicate trumpets and clusters lend texture and movement, as if a soft breeze has just passed over the basket. Rich green foliage in different shapes and depths surrounds and anchors the florals, from glossy broad leaves to finer, lighter sprigs, echoing the layered greens of local spots like Millwall Park and the riverbank near Island Gardens. The warm beige wicker basket hints at tradition and care, suitable for funeral services in nearby churches, crematoriums, or for delivery to homes across Docklands. The overall effect is one of serenity and gentle light, a tasteful sympathy basket that quietly honours a life well lived without overwhelming the moment.
PEACE & PURITY BASKET
£65.00
In this funeral flower basket, every detail seems chosen to speak gently rather than loudly, as if offering a soft embrace. A shallow, light-coloured wooden basket with a curved handle and small feet supports a full, rounded dome of blooms, set against a clean white background that lets each shade and petal stand out. At the centre, creamy white roses open in generous spirals, their velvety petals symbolising peace and the quiet dignity of farewell. Nestled closely around them are deep red carnations, their frilled petals rich and textured, suggesting enduring love and gratitude. Interspersed among the red are softer, bi-coloured carnations, white with subtle pink or crimson edges, giving the arrangement a gentle, almost conversational mix of tones rather than a stark contrast. Slender stems of delicate white flowers, similar to freesias, weave through the design, their small bell-shaped blooms adding both movement and lightness. Beneath and around the blossoms, layers of lush green foliage anchor the composition: broad, glossy leaves provide calm, steady blocks of colour, while wispy, fern-like greens lift the eye upward and outward, like a soft breeze moving through a quiet garden. The basket feels as though it could be resting in a serene Isle of Dogs living room before a funeral service, or placed thoughtfully beside a photograph at a memorial gathering near Mudchute Park. Its fragrance is imagined as soft and clean-gentle rose, fresh green stems, and a hint of freesia-creating a moment of stillness. This is the kind of arrangement a local florist might recommend when families wish to send comfort, respect, and a sense of calm remembrance all at once.
REMEMBRANCE BASKET
£60.00
A richly textured, rounded bouquet sits centre-stage against a crisp white backdrop, its colours and forms evoking the feeling of wandering through a carefully tended garden off Manchester Road on the Isle of Dogs. At its heart are generous clusters of garden roses in blush pink, mellow yellow, and creamy peach, each bloom showing off layers of velvety petals that spiral and curl in soft, romantic waves. Some roses are fully open, revealing intricate centres, while others are still gently unfurling, suggesting movement and life. Dancing among them are delicate clematis blossoms in pale violet and soft white, their star-shaped petals stretching outward, with golden-yellow centres that create tiny points of brightness throughout the arrangement. Distinctive blue Eryngium, or sea holly, rise slightly above the softer flowers, their spiky, steel-blue heads bringing a contemporary, almost architectural edge that contrasts beautifully with the roses' roundness. Deeper purple lisianthus blooms, some ruffled and some still in tight buds, tuck into the spaces between larger flowers, adding depth and a cool, elegant tone. Clusters of glossy red Hypericum berries punctuate the design, catching the eye the way berries might stand out against greenery in Mudchute Park. A lush mix of foliage, from broad, polished leaves to finer, feathery greens and occasional darker burgundy accents, surrounds and supports the blooms, giving the bouquet a full, domed silhouette. The lighting is soft and even, with gentle shadows that emphasise volume without distraction. The overall mood is one of warm celebration and refined beauty, ideal for marking a special birthday, brightening a riverside apartment, or sending a thoughtful thank-you via a trusted Isle of Dogs florist offering local delivery.
ETERNAL MEMORY POSY
£100.00
From a top-down view the bouquet presents a perfectly balanced round shape, a study in white and cream tones crafted with attentive floral technique. Large white oriental lilies take centre stage, their flaring trumpet petals creating bright, sculptural planes while pale green stamens and the faintest hint of blush at their throats add depth and natural variation. Nestled among the lilies are clusters of creamy white roses in various stages of bloom - tight, sculpted buds and gently unfurling blossoms whose velvety petals lend shadow and softness. Interspersed between these principal flowers are delicate sprigs of Baby's Breath (Gypsophila), their tiny white flowers forming a lacy, breathable texture that cushions the stronger forms and lets light travel through the arrangement. A few fresh green leaves tuck beneath the blooms around the edge, their cool colour framing the bouquet and emphasising its round silhouette. The overall mood is one of quiet refinement and sentiment: a bouquet that smells faintly sweet and floral, exuding a calm confidence suited to weddings, christenings, anniversary gifts, or thoughtful sympathy pieces. As a local florist familiar with the Isle of Dogs, Isle of Dogs Florist often pairs this style with minimal wrapping for same-day delivery around Canary Wharf, South Quay and Westferry - a simple, elegant choice for occasions that call for purity and understated beauty.
COMPASSION POSY
£90.00
A round, luxuriously full bouquet of lilies and roses rests against a seamless white background, as if just finished by a careful florist in Isle of Dogs preparing a special delivery. The arrangement is densely packed yet beautifully balanced, with pristine white lilies forming a graceful framework. Their trumpet-shaped blooms open outwards, petals smooth and gently curved, revealing pale green centres and subtle yellow stamens that catch the light. Between these lilies, blush pink roses mingle with creamy ivory roses, each one at a slightly different stage of bloom; some are tight buds edged with soft colour, others fully open with velvety petals spiralling out like small, fragrant cups. Striking magenta Oriental lilies, similar to classic Stargazers, are strategically placed throughout, their darker speckles and rich, saturated pink tones providing dramatic contrast against the calmer whites and pastels. Sprays of delicate white baby's breath, like tiny frothy clouds, drift between the larger flowers, softening the transitions and lending a light, romantic haze. Small glimpses of green leaves and stems break through the mass of petals, grounding the arrangement and hinting at its natural, garden-fresh origin. Under bright, even lighting, every curve of petal and dot of colour is clearly defined, giving a sense of crisp freshness, as though the bouquet has just arrived from a morning market near Canary Wharf or along the riverside paths of Isle of Dogs. The mood is celebratory yet tender, ideal for marking milestone birthdays, anniversaries, engagement dinners at home, or thoughtful thank-you gestures delivered across E14, carrying with them the quiet luxury and warmth of a professionally designed floral gift.
CHERISHED MOMENTS POSY
£90.00
A carefully composed, rounded floral arrangement photographed on white, where gentle blush roses and pristine white freesia form a harmonious, soothing statement. The arrangement's focal elements are full-faced pink roses-some in deep blush, others in a softer pastel-paired with smaller spray roses that fill gaps and create a subtle cadence of tone. White freesia punctuates the massed roses with clusters of bell-shaped flowers and unopened buds, adding vertical rhythm and a whisper of delicate perfume that lifts the composition. The foliage backdrop is lush and varied: broad, deep-green leaves anchor the design while variegated, cream-edged leaves thread through, offering a light-bright counterpoint that highlights each bloom. The overall silhouette is a compact dome; stems are concealed to preserve a formal, cushion-like effect that reads calm and composed. Soft natural light-suggestive of early morning along the Thames-accentuates petal texture and the gentle translucence of freesia cups, giving the piece a contemplative glow. As a local arrangement created with the sensibilities of our community in mind, this bouquet is the kind of floral tribute often chosen for memorial services, hospital visits, or quiet remembrances around Mudchute and South Quay. Isle of Dogs Florist prepares pieces like this with careful conditioning so the flowers open gradually, offering both immediate beauty and lingering comfort for families and friends during moments of remembrance.
