RETIREMENT FLOWERS
A vibrant hand-tied bouquet is photographed against a simple white background, allowing its colours and forms to take centre stage, much like a burst of colour against the stone facades around Temple. At the core, deep red roses rise slightly above the surrounding blooms, their petals tightly coiled and luxuriously velvety, capturing the timeless feeling of romance and sincere respect. Encircling these roses, crisp white daisy-like chrysanthemums with striking lime-green centres create a bright ring of contrast, each bloom open and symmetrical, giving the arrangement an uplifting, almost sunlit quality. Blending smoothly into this ring are soft pink and medium pink chrysanthemum daisies, sharing the same vivid green centres, so the colour palette progresses naturally from white to pink while remaining cohesive. Delicate sprays of pale pink filler flowers, reminiscent of waxflowers with their tiny, clustered petals, drift between the larger heads, adding fine detail and bringing a sense of lightness and movement. Deep green foliage, with its broad glossy leaves and softer, smaller greens, cradles the blossoms, enhancing the bouquet's rounded, generous shape. At the bottom, the neatly trimmed stems are bound together, ready to be placed in a vase on a Temple office table, a chambers meeting room, or a quiet corner near the Embankment. The controlled, even lighting ensures each hue and texture is clearly visible, highlighting the artist's careful balance of colour and form. The bouquet feels calm yet joyful, ideal for marking personal milestones, saying "thank you," or bringing a moment of softness into a busy day in Temple.

This photograph presents a hand-tied mixed flower bouquet against an immaculate white background, a classic studio-style shot that makes every detail of the arrangement stand out clearly, as if the flowers have just been finished on a bench near Temple station. The bouquet is built into a full, rounded dome, densely layered with blooms so that the eye travels smoothly over a continuous surface of colour. Several large roses sit proudly at the heart of the design, each one fully open, their petals blending from bright sunshine yellow at the centres into warmer orange and soft, reddish tones at the edges. These roses give the bouquet a sense of warmth and optimism, like the first rays of light along Embankment on an early morning. Scattered generously around them are white daisy-like chrysanthemums, neat and balanced, with sharp white petals framing vibrant lime-green centres that add a refreshing, almost citrusy visual note. Intertwined with these are smaller but deeply coloured magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, their multiple petals densely layered to create plush, cushion-like blooms, each one featuring a yellow-green centre that echoes the daisies and ties the colour palette together. Dark, glossy green foliage peeps between the flowers, adding structure, depth, and a natural frame that softens the bright tones. At the lower edge of the image, the cleanly cut stems are visible, tightly gathered and aligned, indicating a fresh, hand-tied piece ready for a vase in a Temple chambers office or riverside flat. The overall impression is one of joyful celebration and thoughtful care, ideal for anniversaries, congratulations, or sending a vibrant thank-you across EC4.

£43.00

Nestled against a clean white background, this striking bouquet-freshly crafted by an expert local Temple florist-radiates warmth, happiness, and refined style. Its heart is a spirited blend of roses gently transitioning from pale apricot to tangerine, their layered petals saturating the ensemble with sunset tones. The bouquet teems with clusters of vibrant chrysanthemums-some pure white with soft green centers reminiscent of London Plane trees along Temple Avenue, others bursting in shades of bold magenta and vivid chartreuse, offering a delightful pop of color. Dark, lustrous foliage, likely ruscus, peeks through each bloom, framing the flowers with an abundance that mimics the lush greenery of Victoria Embankment Gardens close by. Elegantly draped and arched at the bouquet's crown, a slender loop of bear grass adds a touch of movement and whimsy, catching the light like a ribbon in the breeze. The base is thoughtfully wrapped in glossy orange tissue, its citrusy shade harmonizing with the roses and suggesting festivity and vibrant energy. An ideal centerpiece or gift for celebrations, thoughtful gestures, or everyday moments, this Temple-inspired bouquet encapsulates the exuberant artistry and cheerful optimism of local floral design. Its radiance and charm make it a perfect expression for birthdays, gratitude, or simply brightening a home near the Strand.
HONEYMOON
£55.00

Presented against a pure white background, this hand-tied chrysanthemum bouquet appears almost luminous, as if lit by soft daylight drifting over the Thames towards Temple. Generous heads of white and creamy-yellow chrysanthemums form the main body of the design, each bloom composed of fine, overlapping petals that open into rounded, cushion-like shapes with subtle green or soft yellow centers. Their fullness creates a calm, billowing effect, bringing to mind freshly pressed linen or soft clouds drifting above the Inns of Court nearby. Threaded among these larger blooms are clusters of petite white spray chrysanthemums, their smaller daisy-style flowers filling every gap so the arrangement feels complete and abundant from every angle. Scattered confidently throughout, spherical lime green pompon chrysanthemums introduce a contemporary edge, their intense apple-green colour and tightly packed texture offering a playful contrast to the more traditional white flowers. Dark, glossy green foliage anchors the palette, emerging here and there between the petals and suggesting the cool, earthy scent you notice when a bouquet has just been arranged. The stems gather neatly at the base in a clean, spiralled bundle, secured with a wide band of lime green satin ribbon tied into a smart, multi-loop bow that echoes the vivid tone of the green mums. The bouquet conveys purity, new beginnings, and quiet joy, suitable for marking a promotion in one of the nearby chambers, brightening a riverside apartment, or sending a gentle, hopeful message to someone recuperating in the Temple area, with each stem arranged as though placed by an attentive, local florist's hand.

A lush, rounded bouquet of mixed flowers sits crisply against a pure white backdrop, as if freshly prepared in a Temple florist's workroom on a clear morning. Dominating the arrangement are several fully open roses in a creamy white that fades softly into pale buttery yellow at the centres, their layered, velvety petals forming elegant spirals that immediately catch the eye. Encircling these roses is a generous halo of fuchsia and magenta chrysanthemums, their daisy-like faces packed with narrow, slightly tousled petals and cheerful yellow-green centres that give the whole design an energetic, modern feel. Tucked between the larger chrysanthemum blooms are a few smaller buds in deeper purple-pink tones, hinting at flowers still to come and adding gentle contrast without overwhelming the palette. Scattered delicately throughout are petite white daisy-like filler flowers, reminiscent of chamomile, each with a bright yellow heart that lightens the bouquet and lends a soft, meadow-inspired charm, like a stroll through the greenery near the Temple Gardens. Lush green foliage provides structure and richness at the base, its different leaf shapes creating a tapestry of textures beneath the blossoms. The stems are cleanly trimmed and gathered tightly, then finished with a neat green and white checkered ribbon tied around the bind, giving the piece a handcrafted, thoughtful look. Under bright, even lighting, the colours appear vivid yet refined, and subtle shadows accent the curves of the petals. The bouquet radiates cheerful warmth and gentle sophistication, perfect for birthdays, congratulations, or simply brightening a Temple workspace or home with a burst of fresh colour.
LOVELY DREAMER

An abundant bouquet of oriental lilies arranged with practiced care, showing a harmonious chorus of creamy white and vivid pink-fuchsia blooms against a clean white backdrop. Many of the lilies are fully open, their trumpet-like petals arched back to expose graceful stamens with delicate anthers and occasional dustings of pollen, while several elongated buds sit poised to unfurl, a promise of continued bloom. The white lilies carry warm off-white tones with a whisper of yellow-green at the throat; the deeper pink varieties reveal velvety surfaces and paler veins that draw the eye inward. Fresh, dark green lance-shaped leaves thread through the bouquet, providing structured contrast and a verdant frame for the blossoms. The arrangement rests in a clear glass vase positioned at the lower center, its transparency giving a clear view of trimmed stems submerged in clean water-an honest cue to the flowers' freshness and the careful conditioning they received. Bright, even lighting sculpts the petals' subtle textures and makes colours sing; the image conjures the light of a quiet morning along Victoria Embankment or the calm behind Temple Gardens. As a local florist I picture delivering this to celebrations, Mother's Day surprises, or a thoughtful anniversary drop-off near Temple Station. Florist Temple prepares arrangements like this with an eye for longevity and refined impact, balancing fragrance, form and colour for an elegant, heartfelt gift.
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00

A refined hand-tied bouquet of hydrangeas fills the frame, set against a crisp white backdrop that makes every petal appear luminous and freshly gathered. At its core sits a large mound of creamy white hydrangea, the tiny individual florets forming a pillowy, almost cloud-like surface that suggests softness and calm. Encircling this centre, rounded heads of pale, tranquil blue hydrangea open fully, their petals washed with gentle tonal shifts that recall the subtle changes of light along the Embankment near Temple at dusk. Interspersed among them are bright lime-green hydrangea blooms, their fresh, zesty colour energising the arrangement and hinting at early spring leaves unfurling in nearby Temple Gardens. The flowers are woven through with abundant greenery, carefully balanced to create structure and depth. Soft, silvery eucalyptus leaves arc delicately between the hydrangea heads, their cool grey-green sheen adding a modern, almost airy quality. Deeper, more traditional green foliage, with slightly pointed, polished leaves, fills in the spaces and frames the larger blooms, giving the design its generous, rounded silhouette. The stems are gathered firmly at the base, their straight green lengths visible and neatly tied, clearly marking this as a professional hand-tied bouquet ready for a vase on a Temple office desk or a dining table in a nearby riverside flat. The overall impression is one of tranquillity and elegance: a white, blue, and green palette that feels soothing and composed. This arrangement would be perfectly at home in editorial features about thoughtful gifting, modern wedding flowers, or same-day flower delivery around Temple, the Strand, and Fleet Street for birthdays, anniversaries, or moments when someone simply needs a breath of cool serenity indoors.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
Buy now
A richly coloured, professionally arranged bouquet is shown standing tall against a crisp white background, its details clear enough to imagine it resting on a polished Temple office desk or by a window overlooking the Thames. The focus of the arrangement is a cluster of pink roses, their petals unfurling in soft, overlapping spirals that lend a romantic yet contemporary feel. Interspersed among them, golden yellow gerbera daisies with deep chocolate-brown centres offer a playful contrast, their broad, even petals radiating like small daisies captured at their fullest bloom, echoing the bright bustle of nearby Fleet Street. Above this warm heart of colour, elegant blue delphinium stems soar, each lined with multiple individual florets in shades of deep sky to inky blue, introducing cool vertical movement and a sense of open air. Around and between the flowers, layers of vivid greenery create structure and softness: delicate fern fronds curl outward at the edges, while broader, glossy green leaves, some subtly striped in lighter tones, are wrapped gracefully around the base, forming a natural collar that frames the flower heads. Compact mounds of bright green, textured filler foliage nestle throughout, adding volume and a slightly mossy charm, while fine, pale green stems tipped with small buds lend a feeling of new growth. The visible stems are gathered neatly and tied with a simple pale wrap and bow, clearly showing a hand-crafted bouquet that feels ready for a birthday, congratulations, or thank-you delivery anywhere across Temple, Blackfriars, or the nearby law courts. The overall impression is of a cheerful, garden-inspired design that balances sophistication with a fresh, approachable charm.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
Buy now
Set against a clean white backdrop, this hand-tied bouquet looks like it has just been finished on the bench of an experienced Temple florist, stems still gathered neatly in the palm. At its heart, large garden roses in blush pink and antique mauve open in layered spirals, giving a soft, nostalgic romance to the design. Around them, plush carnations ripple with creamy centres and darker rose-pink and plum-tinted edges, each ruffle catching the light and adding depth and movement. Threaded between the pastel tones, intense indigo blooms, shaped rather like closed tulips, introduce a cool, saturated blue that instantly draws attention. Near the lower front of the bouquet, a single royal blue anemone with a dark, inky centre stands out like a small, vivid eye. Airy stems of lilac and pale lavender stock rise through the centre, their clusters of tiny blossoms lending an almost cloud-like softness and suggesting a light, sweet fragrance. Silvery-green eucalyptus, with its round, matte leaves, mingles with deeper green rose foliage, framing the flowers and giving the structure a natural, garden-fresh feel. The bouquet sits firmly within a palette of romantic pinks, serene purples, and dramatic blues, with the greens weaving everything together. It feels like a design made to comfort and uplift, easy to imagine being delivered to a chambers on Fleet Street, a riverside office, or a home just off the Strand. Perfect for a birthday, congratulations, or to send thoughtful support around Temple, this arrangement quietly balances elegance with emotional warmth.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
Buy now
Arranging this bouquet beneath the soft morning light of Temple, I'm drawn to the subtle interplay between blush-toned gerbera daisies and the timeless shape of pink roses, each bloom a quiet tribute to the area's understated classic charm. The petals, in gentle gradients of pink, seem to glow with the freshness of a new day by the Inner Temple gardens. Vibrant clusters of deep purple statice peak out, their texture crisp and uplifting, offering cheerful punctuation in between the airy blooms. The foliage below is robust and glossy, holding a dewy coolness and a scent reminiscent of walks along Temple's tranquil squares. Gathered in a slender glass vase, the flowers' natural beauty is enhanced, their colour palette softly illuminated by daylight filtering in from a window facing Temple Church. Whether chosen for a get-well message, a thoughtful housewarming for a neighbour near Essex Street, or simply to lift spirits in a local office, this bouquet reflects the care and dedication found at Florist Temple. Every detail is considered, every colour thoughtfully matched, resulting in an arrangement that feels both optimistic and expertly crafted-perfect for bringing joy to anyone lucky enough to call Temple home.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
Buy now
A richly detailed hand-tied bouquet, captured against a smooth white backdrop, showcases the nuanced craftsmanship of a professional florist working with a romantic pink and purple palette. At the centre, velvety roses in soft pastel pink unfold layer by layer, some with gently ruffled, darker pink rims that create a natural ombré effect. They sit alongside plush carnations in dusty rose and mauve; their many pleated petals form intricate whorls that provide a sense of depth and indulgent texture. Threading upward through this softness are tapered spikes of deep indigo and violet Veronica, their slender shapes adding a sculptural quality and giving the arrangement a sense of movement, reminiscent of the vertical lines of Temple's historic chambers and nearby riverside buildings. Around them, clusters of rich purple Lisianthus blooms and buds mingle with airy sprays of lavender-blue, daisy-like asters whose fine petals and small yellow centres bring a playful lightness. The foliage is just as carefully considered: bright lime-green filler-likely bupleurum or green trick dianthus-offers a lively contrast, while broad, silvery eucalyptus leaves and other soft green stems weave throughout, providing a cool, soothing frame. The bouquet forms a generous, rounded dome, with the stems neatly bound and visible at the base, clearly designed to be placed straight into a vase in a Temple office, legal chamber, or cosy flat near Fleet Street. The overall impression is one of thoughtful refinement and modern romance, a floral piece that would feel at home marking an important milestone, uplifting a workday, or welcoming someone back to a riverside home after a walk along the Victoria Embankment.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
Buy now
In Temple's bustling legal quarter, this striking bouquet captures the very feeling of sunlight filtering through ancient plane trees. Bold sunflowers draw the eye instantly, their wide, honey-gold faces outward and joyful, evoking the optimism of afternoons spent in nearby Victoria Embankment Gardens. Between these radiant blooms, plush yellow garden roses unfold in tightly coiled layers, inviting closer inspection and releasing a subtle, summery scent. Sprigs of glossy red Hypericum berries twinkle throughout, lending their exuberant energy to the arrangement, like unexpected laughter drifting from a Fleet Street café. A tapestry of greens-ranging from airy ferns to structural solidago and soft-blue eucalyptus-wraps around the bouquet and adds graceful depth, much like the patchwork of shaded lawns and riverside greenery found in the area. The clear, spherical glass vase anchors the display, revealing the arrangement's careful structure and conjuring images of river pebbles along the Thames. Every detail-the play of colour, the interplay of textures, the sense of movement in the foliage-is a testament to local craftsmanship and the city's changing seasons. Whether marking a joyful milestone or simply brightening a workspace in one of Temple's historic chambers, this bouquet is a vibrant celebration of connection, hope, and the everlasting beauty of thoughtfully gathered flowers.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00

Captured in the soft glow of studio lighting, this hand-tied Gerbera bouquet bursts with colour and vitality-an uplifting arrangement drawing on the creative energy found in the heart of London's Temple district. Bold yellow blossoms mingle with fiery orange and striking fuchsia Gerberas, forming a tapestry of petals that seem to pulse with joy. Each flower's velvety-smooth petal fans out from a distinctive, dark center, drawing the eye to each individual bloom while contributing to the overall harmony of the cluster. Glossy, verdant leaves are interspersed throughout, bringing texture and an almost woodsy aroma reminiscent of a stroll along the Embankment Gardens. The blooms are skillfully gathered in a clear, slightly flared glass vase, where the stems-clean and neatly trimmed-stand in fresh water to ensure ongoing vibrance. Rustic brown kraft paper and a protective cellophane wrap encase the bouquet, their crinkled layers merging practicality with elegance and echoing the artisan spirit of local flower stands near The Strand. The bouquet is secured with a simple twine bow, from which dangles a small white tag featuring a vibrant red rose motif-a subtle nod to bespoke craftsmanship. Whether destined for a birthday celebration in a Temple office, a 'thinking of you' gesture for a friend near the Royal Courts, or a thoughtful addition to a classic home, this arrangement embodies uplift, gratitude, and a sense of refined artistry unique to the local area.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00

As a florist working at the heart of Temple's vibrant community, I see each bouquet as a tribute to local beauty, and this radiant ensemble feels especially close to home. A magnificent gathering of warm-toned roses unfurls at the centre, their petals moving gracefully from glowing coral and sun-kissed peach through subtle salmon pink. Each flower seems to pulse with softness; a gentle ombre begins at the cream-hued, tightly layered centre, fading seamlessly into vivid, rosy outer edges, echoing the timeless stonework and leafy gardens found just steps from Temple pier. Encircling the blooms, a flourish of deep green foliage glistens beneath soft, natural light-foliage reminiscent of the lush plantings found near Inner Temple's tucked-away gardens-framing and amplifying the floral glow without ever competing for attention. The bouquet speaks of tactile luxury, each velvet petal and leaf promising sensory delight and the unique impression left by freshly cut florist arrangements. Beneath the flowers, a refined Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolate pouch rests, displaying its stylish branding and delectable promise beside two glossy, hand-placed chocolate truffles. Their sumptuous sheen and rich aroma evoke the indulgence of favourite Temple market treats. This arrangement, alive with colour, texture, and heartfelt care, perfectly marks a joyful Temple milestone-whether to celebrate a special birthday, offer comfort, or honour the quiet magic of a balmy evening along Victoria Embankment. Artisanally prepared, this is a gift that speaks to love, gratitude, and the artistry at the heart of Temple's floral tradition.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00

Drawing inspiration from the graceful heritage and riverside tranquility of Temple, this lush arrangement sings with layers of colour and careful detail. Spherical clusters of hydrangea, bathed in enchanting tones of deep blue, teal, and gentle purple, provide a sculptural anchor, their volumes echoing the subtle curves of the Thames nearby. Interwoven, soft lavender and pure white roses bloom with timeless dignity, their unfurling petals offering an air of romance well-suited to gatherings or occasions set against the stately architecture near Fleet Street. Silk-soft white ranunculus, with their intricately spiraled, multi-petaled blossoms, add an irresistible plushness that complements the bouquet's round profile. Towering, slender eustoma-some in pale yellow, just opening-create vertical lines, while sprigs of vivid fuchsia and blush astilbe diffuse colour and levity, whispering of early morning light filtering through Temple Gardens. Lacy, translucent green-white fillers add a demure intricacy, reminiscent of Queen Anne's lace swaying along embankment footpaths. Structured but never stiff, the gathered stems are enveloped at their base by a lustrous royal purple ribbon, a nod to Temple's elegance. Every blossom and tendril is arranged to evoke warmth and invitation, delivering a vivid reminder of local artistry and the gentle sophistication synonymous with Temple-an ideal centerpiece for celebrations or thoughtful expressions of joy, readily available for same-day delivery across the area.
TIMELESS VICTORIAN
£57.00
Buy now
A densely packed, carefully balanced bouquet photographed on a crisp white surface, this arrangement blends exuberant warmth with refined detail - the sort of piece our team prepares for hand delivery across Temple and the surrounding Embankment area. Tall, sunlit yellow Asiatic lilies create an upward rhythm: some fully unfurled and freckled across their petals, some long chartreuse buds pointing skyward. Interwoven among them are large orange Gerbera daisies whose bold, flat faces and dark centres act like little suns, while powdery lavender-purple roses offer a soft, romantic pause within the vivid tableau. Plentiful lime-green button chrysanthemums or cushion blooms fill the midplane, their tightly clustered petals giving a plush, tactile volume that makes the bouquet feel abundant and comforting. Scattered throughout are smaller globe-shaped orange and golden-yellow accents-Craspedia-like or similar textured mini-blooms-that add playful punctuation, and several blue-grey Eryngium thistles provide striking, bristly contrast with architectural form. Rich mixed foliage - from broad lily blades to glossy filler leaves - frames each flower, lending depth, shadow, and a living green backdrop that enhances every hue. The bouquet smells faintly of sweet rose and fresh lilies, and its overall silhouette is domed yet lively, designed to look appealing from every angle. This composition, prepared by Florist Temple for neighbourhood deliveries, is versatile: a bright congratulations, table centerpiece for a celebratory supper near Temple Church, or a thoughtful way to lift someone's spirits. The craftsmanship shows a keen eye for colour balance, texture and seasonal freshness suited to central London interiors.
TROPIC GETAWAY

Presented against a pure white backdrop, this tall, sophisticated bouquet reads like a study in cool contrast and refined texture. The central mass is a dense, rounded cloud of vibrant blue hydrangeas - plush, almost velvety to the eye - that anchors the composition with a deep, soothing tone. Creamy white roses encircle the lower and outer edges, their soft, layered petals unfolding in a slow, tactile rhythm and offering the faint, reassuring scent of fresh-cut blooms. Rising above the cluster are pristine white calla lilies with clean, trumpet-shaped forms and a subtle pale-green wash at their throats, their sculptural lines adding upward movement and a serene silhouette. Interspersed among them are narrow spikes of white snapdragon or stock, supplying height and a whimsical, cottage-garden note. Throughout, rich green foliage - glossy salal-like leaves and airy fern fronds - adds contrast and depth, some fronds cascading gently toward the vase rim. The clear, tapered glass vase reveals the organized stems and clear water, a detail that speaks to careful craftsmanship and freshness. As a local florist serving Temple and the Embankment, Florist Temple often pairs this palette with soft morning light for sympathy tributes, elegant anniversary gifts, or calming centrepieces at small events near Temple Tube and the Strand.
