BASKETS / POSIES
A bright, meticulously composed floral basket photographed on a white background so every detail is visible, made with the care of a local shop serving Temple and the riverside neighbourhoods. At its heart are several large white Gerbera daisies, their clean petals curving around deep brown to nearly black central discs that provide strong, elegant contrast. Soft, blush-pink carnations cluster between the gerberas, their layered, ruffled petals creating a plush, tactile softness. Filling the spaces are many small, daisy-like white and pale yellow blooms-likely spray chrysanthemums or asters-that add a cheerful, full-bodied texture. Tiny, starry blue-lavender sprigs are tucked in among the foliage, lending a cool whisper of colour and a delicate perfume. The greenery is deliberately abundant: rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves introduce a modern, calming tone and subtle citrus-menthol scent, while darker glossy ruscus cascades to the left, producing a relaxed, flowing profile. All of this sits in a light, handwoven wooden basket with a warm brown, arched handle that frames the arrangement and emphasizes its handcrafted character. The lighting is even and crisp, highlighting petal veins, soft shadows, and the fresh sheen on leaves so the arrangement appears lively and immediate. Offered ready for local delivery across Temple and to nearby Strand or Victoria Embankment, this composition balances quiet elegance and approachable charm-an offering suitable for congratulations, a thoughtful condolence, or a refined celebration-crafted with the kind of care you'd expect from Florist Temple.

A thoughtfully composed funeral flower basket sits centered against a crisp white backdrop, its quiet beauty inviting reflection. The woven container, a light cream or off-white tone with a sturdy curved handle, feels timeless, like something you might see carried into a memorial service in one of Temple's historic churches. From it rises a rounded, abundant arrangement of fresh blooms and foliage. A single creamy white rose forms the emotional focal point, its velvety petals unfurling in a gentle spiral that suggests peace and farewell. Close by, two sumptuous calla lilies in a deep purple hue rise elegantly, their smooth, sculptural trumpets curving with understated grace, bringing a dignified richness of colour. Threaded between them, delicate clematis flowers in soft lavender and pale lilac stretch out their star-shaped petals around small yellow centres, adding lightness and a sense of movement. Scattered throughout are small yellow blossoms, reminiscent of freesia or alstroemeria, whose bell or trumpet forms bring subtle brightness, like shafts of sunlight in a contemplative Temple garden. On the right, a vivid magenta gerbera-type bloom reaches out from the greenery, its radiating petals offering a heartfelt note of affection and remembrance. All of the flowers rest on a full bed of lush greenery: broad, glossy leaves and airy sprigs in lighter green tones that give the basket body and a softly mounded silhouette. The simple white background and gentle shadow beneath the basket highlight the craftsmanship and balance of the design. This image captures a refined condolence arrangement, suitable for funerals, wakes, or sympathy deliveries to families and friends around Temple, Fleet Street, and the nearby legal chambers.

A light, natural wicker basket sits centered against a clean white background, its softly curved handle framing a carefully composed display of funeral flowers. The arrangement feels rounded and lush without being overwhelming, every stem precisely placed to suggest calm order and kindness. Creamy white roses are the main voice here, their open, layered petals forming serene, cup-shaped blooms that speak of innocence and enduring love. Around them, clusters of white and pale yellow freesia-like flowers add a more delicate texture, some still in greenish buds, others just beginning to release their gentle scent, like a whisper of spring in the stillness. Threaded between these are airy, star-shaped clematis blossoms in muted lavender and soft periwinkle, each with a striking yellow-green centre that lifts the palette with a quiet note of light. The flowers rest on a bed of dark, glossy green leaves and finer stems, the foliage curving protectively around the blooms, giving the design depth and a sense of embrace. The overall impression is one of subtle elegance and tranquillity, perfectly suited to a memorial gathering or a condolence gift sent to an address in Temple, Blackfriars, or along the Embankment. As a local florist used to creating tributes for the churches and chambers nearby, the balance of tone, texture, and space feels intentional, offering a measured expression of sympathy, remembrance, and hope. The neutral basket, soft colours, and natural shapes ensure the arrangement feels at home in both a formal service setting and a private home where quiet reflection is needed.
PEACE & PURITY BASKET

This image shows a tender funeral flower basket, composed with the kind of quiet care you might expect from a seasoned Temple florist who understands how flowers speak when words are hard to find. The basket itself is made from pale, natural wood, with slim slats curved into an oval base and four discreet feet that give it a steady, respectful stance. An arched handle, smooth and light in colour, rises in a gentle arc, framing the flowers like a soft gateway. The arrangement is plentiful yet controlled, shaped into a domed mound of blossoms that feels both abundant and serene. At the heart of the design, creamy white roses open in full bloom, their layered petals suggesting grace, farewell, and gratitude. Around them, clusters of rich red carnations create depth and warmth, their tightly ruffled petals hinting at heartfelt love and cherished memories. Here and there, soft pink and white-tipped carnations introduce a more delicate note, and petite white flowers, similar to freesias with their bell-shaped florets, thread through the design like quiet whispers. Deep green leaves, broad and polished, cradle the blooms, while wisps of feathery greenery lift from the top and sides, adding lightness and movement, as if a soft breeze from the nearby Embankment had brushed through. Set against a plain white background, every petal, stem, and leaf stands out clearly, allowing the colours and textures to tell their own story. This is the kind of floral tribute well suited to a Temple funeral or remembrance service, offering gentle consolation to family and friends.

Set against a pristine white background, this carefully composed domed bouquet feels like a concentrated glimpse of an early summer garden transported into a Temple studio. The flowers are packed closely together, creating a rich, rounded form with no hard edges, just a soft, continuous curve of colour. Blush-pink, warm yellow, and delicate peach garden roses form the backbone of the design, their layered petals unfolding in loose spirals, some just beginning to open while others are fully bloomed and plush. Nestled among the roses, starry clematis blooms in shades of white and pale lavender stretch their slender petals outward, each one framing a bright yellow centre that draws the eye. Strong visual contrast comes from the blue eryngium, or sea holly, whose spiky, steel-blue heads and jagged collars lend an almost sculptural quality, like tiny architectural details echoing the stonework around Temple Church. Around these, velvety purple lisianthus in both buds and open flowers weave through the arrangement, deepening the palette. Bright red hypericum berries dot the bouquet with lively, rounded shapes, adding another layer of texture. All of this is cradled in lush greenery: broad, glossy leaves form a stable base, while finer feathery foliage and touches of dark, wine-toned leaves create shadows and subtle depth. The light is gentle and even, emphasizing freshness and natural sheen without harsh highlights. The bouquet feels perfect for same-day delivery around Temple and the nearby legal quarter, ideal for congratulating a new qualification, brightening a riverside flat, or sending a heartfelt message that is elegant yet full of life.

Imagine a hand-tied, perfectly circular bouquet seen from above, where all white and cream tones coalesce into an image of understated celebration. The arrangement centers on a handful of large, pure white oriental lilies, their trumpet profiles open and luminous, the light-green anthers and soft yellow stamens offering a tiny, elegant point of colour amid the whiteness. Interwoven with these are clusters of ivory and cream roses, some tightly furled and others beginning to reveal their layered centres; their dense, velvety petals add warmth and subtle shadow that gives the bouquet depth. Wisps of baby's breath (Gypsophila) are scattered throughout, creating a delicate, frothy texture that makes the grouping feel airy despite its fullness. A smattering of fresh green leaves around the edges provides measured contrast and helps define the silhouette for photographs taken on a white surface. The scent profile suggested by this combination is gentle - a soft rose perfume underscored by the faint, sweet green note of lilies. I craft similar designs daily at Florist Temple for weddings along the river, civil ceremonies at Somerset House, and quiet memorial services near Fleet Street, and I tune the finish to suit each occasion. In the soft daylight of a morning delivery this bouquet reads as hopeful and serene, ideal for brides seeking classic elegance, for commemorations that call for dignity, or for gifting when simple, honest sentiment is required across the Temple neighbourhood.

A richly detailed, hand-tied bouquet is shown against a crisp white background, so every petal, stem, and shadow stands out with clarity. The arrangement forms a generous, rounded dome of flowers dominated by snowy white lilies, their trumpet-shaped blooms stretching outward with a graceful confidence, some petals fully open to reveal pale yellow stamens, while other buds remain closed, a fresh green promise within the display. Threaded through the lilies are clusters of soft blush pink roses and creamy white roses, their velvety petals layered in spirals, some just beginning to unfurl, others opening wide like little cups of colour. Striking magenta Oriental lilies, similar to Stargazers, punctuate the bouquet, their deep pink petals edged in a lighter tone and dusted with darker speckles around a bright golden centre, adding intensity and focus. Airy sprigs of white baby's breath lace through every section, like a fine mist of tiny blossoms, softening the transitions between the larger flowers and giving the design a dreamy, romantic feel. Here and there, slim green leaves and stems emerge, providing subtle structure and a natural rhythm, but never distracting from the abundance of pinks and whites. The lighting is bright and even, enhancing the freshness of the blooms and the contrast of rich colour against the neutral background. As a whole, the bouquet feels like something carried from a Temple registry office ceremony or delivered to a riverside chambers near the Embankment, a floral expression of love, congratulations, or tender remembrance, perfect for those moments in central London when words alone don't seem enough.

I picture this arrangement set on a quiet morning table near the river - a compact, rounded bouquet of pink and white that reads like a verse of comfort. At its heart are soft pink roses: some fully unfurled with velvety petals curling inwards, others smaller and tighter as spray roses, creating a gentle rhythm of scale and hue from blush to muted coral. Scattered among them, pure white freesia offer vertical highlights; some blossoms are open, showing their delicate, bell-shaped cups and pale yellow stamens, while others remain as promise-filled buds, suggesting slow unfurling to come. The greens are deliberately chosen: deep, glossy leaves such as ruscus or salal provide weight and depth, while variegated leaves edged in cream lift the palette and introduce a delicate contrast that feels almost like morning light on a hedge. The composition is dense and refined - you do not see stems or mechanics - and the overall silhouette is a neat, domed cushion that casts a soft shadow on the white background. There is a tactile sense here: the smooth suppleness of the rose petals, the crisp snap of freesia stems, and the textured margin of variegated foliage that invites a gentle touch. This arrangement suits tender occasions - an understated sympathy piece, a calm celebration of life, or a thoughtful end-of-life gesture - and conveys quiet care in the way a neighbourhood florist would prepare it for delivery around Temple, Somerset House, or the nearby Inns of Court.
