RETIREMENT FLOWERS
A richly detailed bouquet is captured against a clean white backdrop, its colours glowing as though lit by soft morning light over Old Malden. The arrangement is confidently round and full, dominated by two luxurious deep red roses whose tightly curled petals suggest newly opened blooms and freshly cut stems. Nestled around them are clusters of white daisy-style chrysanthemums, each flower crisp and bright, with a striking lime-green centre that adds a lively pop of colour and a sense of youthful freshness. Woven through this white-and-red harmony are numerous daisy-like blooms in shades of light to medium pink, their own green centres echoing the brightness at the core of the white flowers. These pink flowers bring a gentle, optimistic warmth, like the friendly atmosphere of the high street florists near Old Malden station. Delicate sprays of pale pink waxflower are tucked between the larger blooms, their tiny, cup-shaped flowers and fine stems introducing a lace-like texture that softens the whole design. Lush green foliage, including broad, glossy leaves and lighter green accents, cradles the blossoms and frames the colours, giving the impression of a bouquet gathered from a well-tended garden. At the base, the cleanly cut stems are bound tightly together, a hallmark of a professional hand-tied bunch ready for a waiting vase. The composition feels celebratory yet sincere, ideal for wishing someone a happy birthday in Old Malden, offering get-well wishes, or simply brightening a dining table with a burst of colour, fragrance and care.
FLORAL MELODY
£45.00
Set against a spotless white backdrop, this mixed flower bouquet appears almost to float in the frame, its rounded, dome-like shape filling the view with colour and texture. The composition feels like a snapshot of high summer, the sort of bouquet you might see carried along Manor Drive North or delivered to a family gathering in Old Malden. At the forefront, fully opened bi-colour roses command attention, their petals shifting from a rich, sunlit yellow in the centre through warm orange tones to a subtle blush of reddish-orange on the tips. Their surfaces look smooth and velvety, giving the arrangement a sense of luxury and tenderness. Nestled among them are crisp white daisy-style chrysanthemums, each bloom with a bright lime-green eye that adds a zesty, almost luminous quality. These daisies bring a clean, uplifting freshness, as though the bouquet has just been cut from a well-tended local garden after gentle rain. Scattered throughout are clusters of deep magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemums, their small, tightly layered petals creating a plush, almost cushiony texture. Their vivid, jewel-like tones and yellow-green centres deepen the colour palette and add energy to the design. Surrounding and supporting the flowers, glossy dark green leaves, reminiscent of ruscus, frame the blooms and help lead the eye around the arrangement. At the base, the neatly gathered stems fan outward slightly, clearly visible against the pale background and hinting at the skilled, deliberate hand-tied technique. The bouquet radiates happiness, gratitude, and quiet celebration, perfect for marking new beginnings, offering congratulations, or sending a cheerful same-day delivery to someone special in and around Old Malden.
BERRY BURST
£43.00
This radiant bouquet, arranged by the florists of Old Malden, is a feast for the senses-spirals of peach and orange roses at its centre evoke the gentle sunrises over the Hogsmill River, bringing a sense of peace and happiness to the viewer. Surrounding these focal roses, playful chrysanthemums blossom in both pure white with refreshing green centers and striking magenta hues with vivid, lime-green disks, their starburst patterns mimicking the lively movement of children in Manor Park. The arrangement's depth comes from abundant, glossy green foliage, which creates a feeling of lushness akin to the gardens and green spaces dotted across Old Malden. Delicate strands of bear grass arch gracefully over the blooms, introducing a light, contemporary touch that elevates the bouquet. The whole ensemble is neatly wrapped at the base in crinkled, bright orange paper-an inviting, energetic detail that celebrates both the flowers' warm glow and the welcoming spirit found throughout the area. Offering a burst of freshness and cheer, this bouquet is perfect for marking special moments or for uplifting any home-from homes off The Cut to the bustling Alexandra Drive. The artistry in every detail expresses not only the natural charm of the flowers but also the heart and expertise of the local community.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
Softly rounded hand-tied bouquet of chrysanthemums in white, creamy off-white, and bright lime green, styled against a simple white background so that colour, texture, and form become the main focus. Large white and cream chrysanthemum heads dominate, each one composed of tier upon tier of slender petals, fanning outward from a soft greenish or pale yellow centre to create a lush, full appearance that feels almost cloud-like. Threaded between them are stems of white spray chrysanthemums, their petite daisy blooms lending a delicate, fluttering quality that lightens the overall shape. Scattered throughout are vivid lime green pompon chrysanthemums, tightly packed and perfectly round, adding a bold modern accent and a playful twist to the otherwise gentle palette. Pockets of deep green foliage peek through, their serrated leaves framing the flowers and enhancing the freshness, reminiscent of the quiet greenery along the side streets near Old Malden High Street. At the base, the stems are gathered with precision and tied with a wide lime green satin ribbon, its silky loops catching the light and echoing the bright tone of the pompon mums. The mood of the bouquet is calm yet hopeful, like the feeling of opening a window on a clear day over Worcester Park or New Malden. Whether placed in a simple glass vase on a kitchen table or gifted to mark a new job, recovery, or heartfelt thanks, this design brings an understated elegance and a sense of renewal that suits many of the life moments celebrated around Old Malden.
LIME ZEST
£50.00
Captured against a pristine white background, this bouquet of roses, chrysanthemums, and dainty daisies appears bright and inviting, as if just arranged on the counter of a local Old Malden florist. At its heart are several fully opened roses in a creamy white shade with a suggestion of buttery yellow at their centres, each bloom made up of velvety, layered petals that curve into a gentle spiral, creating a focal point of calm sophistication. Encircling these are numerous magenta and fuchsia chrysanthemum blooms, their petals radiating outward in dense layers from yellow-green centres that shimmer like tiny suns, injecting a playful brightness into the design. Woven through the larger flowers are fine sprays of tiny, white, chamomile-style daisies with petite golden centres; they lend a light, airy touch, balancing the stronger colours with a sense of breezy simplicity, much like walking through nearby parks and green spaces in Old Malden. Small buds of darker purple-pink chrysanthemums are tucked between the open blossoms, adding depth, dimension, and the hint of flowers yet to unfold. The foliage is a rich, deep green, with classic leaf shapes cradling the blossoms, giving structure and contrast that makes the cream and magenta tones appear even more vivid. The stems at the base are neatly aligned and securely bound with a green and white checkered ribbon, whose soft fabric contrasts with the firmness of the stems and subtly evokes picnic blankets and family gatherings. Even, diffused light illuminates the bouquet, highlighting the freshness of every petal. The arrangement conveys warmth, joy, and heartfelt thoughtfulness-an ideal floral gift for celebrations, anniversaries, or simply to brighten a home in Old Malden with a burst of colour and elegance.
LOVELY DREAMER
£50.00
A close-up study of oriental lilies, arranged with an easy, abundant luxury: creamy off-white blooms sit alongside saturated magenta-to-fuchsia lilies, all gathered in a plain glass vase that reveals tidy stems in clear water. The studio's bright, neutral background highlights the lilies' sculptural petals - some unfurled fully to display their trumpet-like shapes and striking stamens, others curled in graceful buds - creating a rhythm of openness and promise. The white lilies often show a subtle yellow-green at their throats, while the deeper pink varieties exhibit velvety petals with paler veins and occasional cream centers that add dimension. Dark green, lanceolate leaves weave through the bouquet, offering contrast and a garden-fresh feel. Seen through the eyes of a florist, the bouquet's texture is tactile: satiny petals, powdery anthers, and the crisp snap of healthy foliage; its scent seems almost audible, a faintly sweet perfume that evokes spring mornings or a small celebration at home. This arrangement feels versatile and sincere - appropriate for elegant tables, heartfelt congratulations, or a thoughtful gesture left on an Old Malden doorstep - and its mix of open blooms and developing buds suggests careful selection for both immediate beauty and lasting enjoyment. The overall impression is refined yet approachable, a classic lily display that balances colour, form, and freshness with the quiet confidence of local floral craft.
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A beautifully composed hand-tied bouquet of hydrangeas and mixed foliage fills the frame, set against a pristine white background that allows its colours and textures to shine without distraction. At its core sits a large, rounded head of creamy white hydrangea, the countless tiny petals tightly gathered together so that the bloom resembles a soft, downy cloud. Around this centre, generous clusters of sky-blue hydrangeas unfold in gentle gradients, their petals shifting from cool, pale blue at the edges to slightly deeper hues at the heart, evoking the tranquil, spacious feel of Old Malden's green spaces and quiet gardens. Interspersed between these cooler tones are vibrant lime-green hydrangea heads, their bright, chartreuse colour adding a joyful spark, suggesting fresh leaves after a spring shower. The bouquet is richly framed by an abundance of greenery: slender stems of eucalyptus, with their rounded, silvery-green leaves, weave delicately through the hydrangea heads, bringing a muted, contemporary softness and an impression of fragrant freshness. Deeper green foliage, some broader and glossier, nestles around the blooms, adding layers of shadow and dimension that give the arrangement a naturally abundant, almost garden-picked look. At the base, the stems are visible and neatly bound together, showing the classic hand-tied style that makes this bouquet easy to place directly into a vase on a kitchen counter or coffee table in Old Malden. The lighting is even and bright, highlighting the subtle translucency of each petal and the satin sheen of the leaves. The overall impression is one of calm sophistication and gentle joy, ideal for thoughtful gifts, quiet congratulations, or simply bringing a sense of cool, refreshing elegance into the home.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
Positioned against a bright white background, this beautifully balanced bouquet looks as though it has just been lifted from the worktable of a skilled florist in Old Malden. At its heart, open pink roses reveal layers of soft, velvety petals, each bloom forming a gentle spiral that speaks of care and affection. Nestled close by, vibrant yellow gerbera daisies with distinctive dark centres add a burst of energy, their bold, graphic shape catching the eye and lending the arrangement a contemporary feel. Rising above this colourful centrepiece, tall spikes of rich blue delphiniums add stately height, their clustered florets stepping up the stems like a series of tiny bells, bringing cool elegance and depth reminiscent of clear skies over nearby Malden Manor.   

The bouquet is enveloped in generous greenery, creating a full, rounded silhouette. Fine, feather-like fern fronds peek out at the edges, introducing a sense of lightness and natural movement. Contrasting with this airy foliage, broad, glossy leaves in a deep, saturated green are wrapped around the lower portion of the bouquet. Some show soft, lighter green stripes, and all are folded into a smooth, sculptural collar that frames the flowers and hints at modern design. Interspersed among the blooms are clusters of bright, textured filler flowers in vivid green, adding both volume and a soft, cushiony texture that invites the eye to wander through the arrangement.   

From the top, a few slender stems bearing small, tight buds extend delicately upwards, suggesting more blooms yet to open and adding to the sense of freshness. The natural stems are neatly aligned and tied with a pale, understated wrap, leaving the lower stems visible and clean. This bouquet feels joyful and welcoming, perfect for celebrating milestones, sending encouragement, or brightening an Old Malden home with a thoughtfully crafted display of colour and form.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
This image features an opulent, hand-tied bouquet placed against a clean white background, allowing the colours and textures to stand out with remarkable clarity. In the centre, lush garden roses in blush pink, dusty mauve, and antique rose shades open fully, their layered petals forming soft spirals that immediately suggest romance and care. Around them, ruffled carnations create a sense of depth and volume, with petals that move from creamy, almost nude tones through soft blush to deeper rose and plum at their crinkled edges, giving the bouquet a tactile, cloud-like fullness. Rich, jewel-toned blue notes thread through this softness: a prominent royal blue anemone with a dark, velvety centre draws the eye, while nearby closed buds in deep indigo echo its intensity, adding a contemporary twist that might remind locals of bold garden plantings seen along the streets of Old Malden. Slender stems of lilac and pale lavender stock lift upwards from the mass of rounded blooms, their multiple tiny flowers catching the light and adding a gentle sense of vertical movement and airy fragrance. Interlaced throughout, eucalyptus leaves in silvery-green and deeper, glossy foliage provide a cool counterpoint to the warm pinks, suggesting that familiar fresh, aromatic scent that lingers when you bring flowers home. At the base, the stems are gathered and neatly tied, clearly revealing this is a hand-prepared bouquet ready for same-day delivery across Old Malden and neighbouring areas. The mood is elegant yet comforting, making this arrangement suitable for marking an anniversary, sending birthday wishes, celebrating a new home, or offering a thoughtful gesture during more reflective moments.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
As I put together these flowers in Old Malden's welcoming atmosphere, I am continually enchanted by the soft interplay between blush gerberas and classic soft pink roses. The bouquet appears luminous, the pastel hues blending across petals like gentle watercolour washes, their romance deep and genuine. Bold accents of deep purple statice lend a cheerful punctuation, adding a spark of character reflective of vibrant local gardens. Glossy, fresh-cut greenery anchors the arrangement, providing a cooling, lively touch that grounds the swirling, cheerful blossoms above. The glass vase captures and magnifies the colour, making each bloom seem to softly glow on a windowsill facing Malden Road. Whether you're seeking a thoughtful get-well bouquet or an elegant accent for your living space in Old Malden, this arrangement tells a story of careful craftsmanship and community connection, every detail reflecting the pride of a trusted neighbourhood florist.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
Set against a crisp white background, this generous bouquet feels like a quiet celebration, the kind you might send to a friend in Old Malden after a walk through the leafy streets near Motspur Park. The design is built around a cluster of soft pink roses, each at a slightly different stage of opening. Some are still rounded buds with petals hugging close, while others are more open, revealing a spiral of blush-toned layers that fade delicately towards the tips. Tucked among them are plush carnations in dusty rose and mauve hues, their frilled petals forming rich, cushiony textures that make the bouquet look wonderfully full and inviting. From the centre and edges, tall, slender spikes of Veronica in deep indigo and violet lift the eye upward, adding a contemporary, almost sculptural line that contrasts beautifully with the softer, rounder blooms. Between these, smaller heads of purple lisianthus introduce a velvety depth, their bell-shaped flowers providing a gentle counterpoint. Fine, airy sprays of daisy-like asters in soft lavender and periwinkle are threaded throughout, each tiny bloom with a pale yellow centre adding a note of lightness and playfulness, like a scattering of wildflowers. The entire arrangement is cradled in layered greenery: lime-green textural filler brightens the palette and gives a sense of freshness, while muted sage and silvery eucalyptus leaves arc gracefully around the edges, lending structure and subtle fragrance. The stems are seen below, neatly trimmed and bound in a classic hand-tied style. Altogether, this bouquet reflects the care and craft of Old Malden Florist, making it an ideal choice for sending love, congratulations or quiet sympathy across the KT3 neighbourhood.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
Across Old Malden, this bright and abundant arrangement brings to mind sunlit strolls through Blossom Hill Park. The focal sunflowers, with their bronze-gold faces and sunbeam petals, seem to reach purposefully outward, echoing the hopeful energy of a new morning in Old Malden. Surrounding them, lush yellow garden roses spiral open-each petal unfolded with a sense of gentle craftsmanship. Vivid red Hypericum berries meander through the bouquet like playful notes of laughter, their colour intensifying against a palette of zesty greens. Wisps of fern and sprightly goldenrod soften the bouquet's edges, giving a textured fullness reminiscent of summer foliage along the Hogsmill River. The arrangement rests confidently in a curved glass vase, water glimmering beneath a network of strong green stems-an emblem of absolute freshness enjoyed by locals. The bouquet's clean lines and soft scents invite the imagination: one can almost hear the rustle of ferns in a summer breeze and catch the faint citrusy aroma as the flowers catch the sun. Crafted by hands familiar with the landscape of Old Malden, this creation is perfect for marking milestones, brightening living rooms, or welcoming friends to the neighbourhood. Every stem and bloom tells a small story of the vibrant, close-knit community here, adding beauty and positivity wherever it is placed.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
Capturing the welcoming warmth of Old Malden, this vibrant bouquet overflows with hand-tied Gerbera daisies in an exuberant mix of hues. Large blossoms in golden yellow, spirited orange, and plush magenta create a lively interplay of colour and texture, each flower crowned by a rich, cocoa-brown center that draws the eye to the arrangement's heart. Interspersed with verdant, glossy leaves, the bouquet's form is enhanced by enveloping layers of rustic kraft paper and gleaming cellophane wrap, giving the design depth and movement while offering protection for local flower deliveries around Cuddington Recreation Ground. The transparent glass vase displays the clean-cut stems soaking in fresh water, symbolizing the life and longevity present in every artisanal creation from Old Malden Florist. A simple length of twine bow secures the wrapping, accessorized by a small tag bearing the sketched outline of a red rose and the promise of a friendly gesture. With diffused daylight playing softly off the petals, this arrangement evokes the joy of seasonal celebrations, making it an inspired centrepiece for a family gathering on The Cut or a thoughtful surprise just because. The bouquet's combination of bright, uplifting colours and natural, tactile detail channels both gratitude and delight.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
There is a distinct artistry in the interplay of colour and sentiment displayed in this vibrant bouquet, thoughtfully curated by a skilled Old Malden florist. Each rose reveals layers of coral, peach, and salmon-petals glowing with ombre transitions reminiscent of sunset skies over Malden Green. The luminous centers, tinged with yellow or cream, create the illusion of light radiating outward, while the velvety surfaces invite both sight and touch. Encircling the heart of the bouquet, fresh dark foliage-likely eucalyptus or salal-casts a jewel-toned, verdant halo, providing fullness and highlighting the roses' delicacy. The composition is softened by the gentle, natural illumination that flows across the white background, drawing all focus to the artistry of the arrangement. Completing the tableau, a pouch of Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolates stands in the lower left, elegantly branded and illustrated with enticing chocolate truffles. Just in front, the actual truffles-dark, glossy, and rounded-promise an indulgent treat. Whether intended for a birthday or to celebrate a cherished moment near The Plough or the Hogsmill River, this pairing is generous to the senses and the heart alike. It embodies the fleeting, joyful spirit of spring evenings in Old Malden-fragrant with roses, sweet with chocolate, and alive with the laughter of loved ones.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
This enchanting bouquet, curated by the floral experts at Old Malden Florist, brings together a stunning array of colours and textures, reminiscent of the serene beauty found along the local stretch of Manor Drive. Dominating the arrangement, billowing clusters of indigo and teal hydrangea command attention with plush, intricately layered petals, forming a tapestry of cool, soothing tones. Gently unfurling among them, elegant roses in pale lavender and creamy white offer notes of timeless romance and sophistication. The bouquet's romantic aura is heightened by soft white ranunculus, their multi-petaled blooms adding an inviting fullness and tactile detail. Fresh hints appear in the scatter of pale yellow lisianthus buds and half-open blossoms, their slender stems arching gracefully above the rest. Sprays of fuchsia-pink filler flowers and wispy pale pink astilbe dance lightly at the bouquet's perimeter, evoking the playful spirit of local spring meadows. Light green and white lacy filler flowers, reminiscent of Queen Anne's Lace seen in local parks, create delicate shadowwork and depth. The verdant darkness of foliage beneath and around the blooms sets off the bouquet's vivid palette, making every element sing with freshness. Gathered with precision and secured at the stems by a wide ribbon of gleaming royal purple satin, this bouquet makes a flawless statement of artistry, warmth, and heartfelt celebration. It is a perfect choice for commemorating milestones or as a centerpiece for cherished Old Malden occasions.
TIMELESS VICTORIAN
£57.00
This abundant, hand-assembled floral mound sits against a crisp white backdrop and feels like a small festival of late-spring colour and texture. Several radiant yellow Asiatic lilies form vertical accents-some open to show their freckled throats and faint sweet scent, others long and poised as unopened buds-while vivid orange Gerbera daisies create sunburst focal points with their broad, flat petals and darker centres. Powdery, lavender-tinged roses are gently nestled among the brighter elements, their soft fragrance and delicate petal spirals calming the energetic palette. Saturated chartreuse-green button chrysanthemums and densely clustered cushion blooms contribute a plush, tactile volume that makes the arrangement feel generous and full. Scattered golden and orange spherical accents offer lively pops and a slightly spiky feel, and cool indigo-blue sea thistles (Eryngium) add a sculptural, almost marine architectural line that contrasts beautifully with the rounded flowers. A mix of varied green foliage-glossy leaves, slender spear leaves and scattered fillers-wraps and supports the blooms, producing a harmonious, garden-fresh silhouette. The controlled studio light highlights the interplay of warm yellows and oranges against the cooler purples and blues, giving the bouquet a sophisticated vibrancy. Perfect for congratulations, a brightening gift, or a thoughtful hospital visit, this arrangement also reflects local character: it evokes the calm of Old Malden's residential lanes and the neighbourly warmth you'd expect when ordering from Old Malden Florist for delivery around Malden Road and neighbouring New Malden.
TROPIC GETAWAY
£64.00
Presented in a simple, tapered clear glass vase on a plain white backdrop, this tall floral creation balances dramatic colour with calm, measured formality. The visual centrepiece is a lush, rounded bunch of deep blue hydrangeas whose clustered petals read almost like soft velvet beneath the light; they provide a cool, saturated counterpoint to the surrounding ivory blooms. Several creamy white roses are arranged around the mid and lower sections, their layered petals opening in plush spirals that invite a soft touch. From above these roses rise elongated white calla lilies, their trumpet-shaped blooms standing upright with a porcelain smoothness and a faint wash of green at the throat, adding elegant verticality. Slim stalks of white snapdragons or stock thread through the composition, their small clustered blossoms giving a gentle, garden-fresh movement. Rich green foliage-broad, glossy leaves and airy fern fronds-frames the flowers, offering contrast and depth while some fronds cascade toward the vase's neck, softening the overall outline. Through the clear glass the stems are visible in clean water, a sign of careful conditioning and freshness. The bouquet radiates a tranquil, refined mood: appropriate for moments of remembrance, a dignified sympathy gift, or as a striking dining centerpiece. As a locally inspired arrangement, it would feel at home for deliveries around Old Malden, New Malden and nearby Kingston, reflecting the quiet, tasteful aesthetic many residents seek for private homes and small gatherings.
