BERRY BURST
£43.00
Alive with optimism, this radiant bouquet is a vibrant tribute to special moments in Holborn, hand-arranged by seasoned local florists. At its core, concentric petals of peach and orange roses spiral outward, their warm hues recalling the historic sunsets seen from Holborn Viaduct. Clusters of magenta and pure white chrysanthemums, each bloom featuring spirited starburst patterns and dynamic green and yellow centres, add bright focal points and textural delight. The bouquet is softened by crisp white daisies that seem to echo the first blossoms of spring emerging along Southampton Row, their simplicity providing a soothing complement. Robust, glossy foliage frames the flowers with an opulent fullness-a fitting metaphor for Holborn's rich blend of tradition and vibrancy. Wisps of bear grass arc above the arrangement, lending a modern, playful silhouette reminiscent of contemporary art found in local galleries. Cloaked in tangy, bright orange cellophane, the bouquet radiates joy and energy, much like Holborn itself bustling with life and stories. Each flower is chosen for freshness, beauty, and symbolic meaning, making the arrangement ideal for gifting across Holborn's offices or homes-from quiet studies near Chancery Lane to lively gatherings on Theobalds Road. In every detail, this bouquet promises a connection to community, the artistry of living blooms, and the timeless celebration of shared moments.
HONEYMOON
£55.00
Positioned against a smooth, pure white backdrop, this chrysanthemum bouquet appears almost luminous, as though it has just been completed by an experienced florist in Holborn and set aside for same-day delivery. At its heart are large chrysanthemum blooms in tonal layers of white and creamy-yellow, each flower built from countless slender petals that curve gracefully outward from softly tinted centres in pale green or light buttercream. These generous flowers create a sense of fullness and classic comfort, like a plush cushion of petals. Threaded between them are petite spray chrysanthemums with daisy-like faces, their bright white petals encircling delicate green-tinged centres, lending an airy, playful touch that keeps the design from feeling too formal. The composition is punctuated by vivid lime green pompon chrysanthemums, each one a dense, spherical cluster of tightly packed petals, like miniature mossy globes. Their fresh, bright green brings contemporary flair and recalls the sharp, clear greens found in the gardens around Gray's Inn on a cool spring morning. Dark green foliage is carefully layered throughout, its rich colour and natural texture giving depth and contrast to the lighter blooms. All the stems are gathered neatly at the base, bound with a wide satin ribbon in matching lime green, tied into a generous bow whose loops and tails lie smoothly against the stems. The bouquet radiates calm optimism and modern elegance, making it a versatile choice for brightening a legal chamber near Holborn, sending a thoughtful get well message, or marking a new beginning with a refined white-and-green theme that feels both soothing and fresh.

MARVELOUS BLOOMS
MARVELOUS BLOOMS
£63.00
A soft yet structured hydrangea bouquet fills the frame, set against a pure white background that accentuates its serene, modern elegance. At its centre, a generous dome of creamy white hydrangea blossoms creates a plush, cloud-like heart, each tiny floret adding to the sense of gentle volume and softness. Around this focal point, several full heads of pale sky-blue hydrangeas rise gracefully towards the upper portions of the arrangement, their delicately ruffled petals shaded with hints of misty grey and lavender, much like a quiet morning sky over Holborn's historic streets. Nestled near the lower edge and between these cooler tones, rounded heads of lime and chartreuse hydrangeas provide a fresh, citrusy lift, their colour suggesting the first tender leaves in local garden squares.   

Threaded through and around the hydrangeas is a thoughtful mix of greenery that introduces contrast and movement. Stems of eucalyptus, with their distinctive silvery-green, rounded leaves, loop and fan gently through the bouquet, adding a soft, matte texture and a cool-toned accent. Behind and between them, deeper emerald foliage with slightly pointed, glossy leaves creates layers of shadow and depth, giving the arrangement a rich, dimensional look that feels at once polished and natural. The bouquet forms a pleasingly rounded, domed silhouette, the flowers and foliage working together to suggest an effortless armful of blooms plucked fresh for a Holborn apartment or office lobby. At the base, the natural stems are clearly visible, cleanly cut and neatly tied, underscoring the hand-tied craftsmanship and inviting the viewer to imagine placing it straight into a favourite vase. The neutral white background and soft, even lighting draw attention to each subtle shift of colour and texture, making this design ideal for birthdays, thank-you gestures, or quiet celebrations delivered to addresses around Holborn, Chancery Lane, and nearby legal chambers.
MOONLIGHT PATH
£60.00
Captured against a stark white background, this vibrant bouquet appears freshly finished, ready to be whisked away to a Holborn meeting room or a cosy apartment near Red Lion Square. The centre of the arrangement is composed of lush pink roses, each rose fully open to reveal layers of smooth, overlapping petals that create a soft, romantic heart. Nestled among them are golden-yellow gerbera daisies with unmistakable dark brown centres, their sunny faces adding energy, light, and a sense of easy happiness to the design. Emerging from behind and above this rounded cluster, tall stems of rich blue delphinium rise with quiet elegance, the small florets spaced along each stem adding vertical rhythm and a cool, soothing contrast to the warmer shades below. The bouquet is heavily supported by foliage, giving it a full, abundant look: feathery fern fronds stretch out from the sides, adding gentle movement, while dense tufts of bright green filler greenery are tucked between the blossoms to enhance depth and texture, like miniature hedgerows. At the base, broad, shiny leaves-some marked with fine lighter green veins-are folded and wrapped around the flower heads to create a neat, sculpted collar, lending a professional, contemporary finish that would look at home on a Holborn reception desk. Below this, the natural stems are clearly visible, neatly aligned and tied with a simple, neutral-toned ribbon that secures the hand-tied bunch. The composition radiates cheerfulness and polished elegance, ideal for birthdays, promotions, or simply brightening a workspace near High Holborn or Chancery Lane.
NATURAL POETRY
£60.00
This elegant bouquet, set against a clean white background, feels like a calm pause amid Holborn's energetic rhythm. In the centre, full-bloomed garden roses in blush pink, dusty rose, and muted mauve unfold slowly, their layered petals forming soft spirals that draw the eye inward. Surrounding them are plush, frilled carnations that add volume and texture; their petals shift from creamy, almost porcelain tones at the base to richer pinks and plum along the ruffled edges, giving the bouquet a gentle, undulating movement. Threaded among the warm hues are striking deep indigo and royal blue flowers-sleek buds and open anemones with near-black centres-that introduce a bold contrast, like unexpected pops of colour against the stone façades along High Holborn. Wisps of lilac and pale lavender stock flowers rise through the design, their slender stems crowned with clusters of small blossoms that bring lightness, vertical structure, and the impression of a subtle, powdery scent. Lush greenery encircles the arrangement: cool, silvery eucalyptus leaves with their rounded shapes sit alongside darker, glossy foliage, creating a layered frame that feels both modern and organic. At the base, the stems are clearly visible where they have been carefully tied by hand, ready for flower delivery across Holborn, from legal chambers near Gray's Inn to creative studios in nearby Clerkenwell. The mood is soothing and sophisticated, making this bouquet a thoughtful choice for birthdays, congratulations, or sending a quiet message of support to someone navigating a busy season in the heart of London.
NOBLE BEAUTY
£67.00
Arranging this bouquet in Holborn, I am captivated by the delicate interplay between blush-toned gerberas and classic pink roses, each flower selected with an experienced eye attuned to the pulse of Lamb's Conduit Street and the vibrant life of the city's core. The pastel pinks blend smoothly-like watercolour washes reflecting the early light over High Holborn-while upright clusters of deep purple statice provide punctuation, adding lively contrast without eclipsing the softer tones. The leaves introduce a breath of freshness, cool and slightly dewy to the touch, rooting the arrangement in a natural abundance reminiscent of shaded corners in Red Lion Square Gardens. The entire bouquet feels bright, almost ethereal, evoking the optimism of a spring dawn just steps from Chancery Lane. Encased in a simple, clear vase, the colours seem to softly pulse with vibrancy, inviting anyone nearby to pause and admire. Designed as a cheerful get-well wish or a stylish touch for a sunlit Holborn flat, this bouquet is the result of genuine craftsmanship and local affection, radiating joyful energy in every petal and leaf.
PINK DAZE
£49.00
Against a clean, uncluttered white background, this lush bouquet is shown in a slightly overhead view, allowing every bloom and leaf to be appreciated as if you were standing at the workbench of a Holborn florist. At the heart of the design, pastel pink and mauve roses cluster together in a gentle, rounded dome, some roses still unfurling and others fully open, their layered petals revealing subtle tonal shifts from deeper rose at the centre to softer blush at the edges. Interspersed among them, generous carnations in dusty rose and purple-mauve hues bring a different, more ruffled texture, their many overlapping petals creating a sense of volume and softness, almost like fabric. Rising gracefully among these fuller blooms are elegant spires of Veronica in a saturated violet-blue, sculpting vertical lines that give the bouquet height and a slightly contemporary edge, reminiscent of the sleek silhouettes of nearby Holborn office blocks. Between these, you can see clusters of purple lisianthus and airy sprays of tiny, star-shaped asters in lilac and periwinkle, each with a small yellow centre that adds sparkle and a feeling of light through the arrangement. Around the flowers, a collar of foliage frames the colours: bright lime-green filler for a fresh, zesty note, balanced by cool eucalyptus and other leafy greens that provide depth and a natural, garden-inspired feel. The stems at the base are clearly visible, neatly cut and bound together, confirming this as a hand-tied bouquet ready for a vase on a desk near Red Lion Square or a dining table just off High Holborn. The overall impression is one of polished charm and quiet celebration, suited to birthdays, promotions, or any moment when a graceful, locally crafted bouquet can brighten someone's day.
SPRING CHARM
£57.00
Bright sunflowers take center stage in this abundant bouquet, their golden faces turned outward like the welcoming smiles found at Holborn market stalls. Nestled beside them, soft yellow garden roses spiral open in plush, elegant whorls, their inviting texture adding depth and classical beauty. Pops of shiny, vivid red hypericum berries tumble throughout, creating a playful counterpoint against the dominant golds and lush green leaves. Fern fronds arc gracefully, recalling the leafy calm of Lamb's Conduit Street or Russell Square, their soft texture framing the lively arrangement. Sprigs of goldenrod-or similar light green filler-add tiny flashes of yellow, and silvery-blue eucalyptus leaves peek out with a touch of modern London style. Presented in a transparent, round vase, the arrangement's stems soak in sparkling water beneath, grounding the composition and revealing the florist's keen eye for detail. Illuminated by a gentle wash of daylight, this arrangement radiates an uplifting, inclusive mood, as if fresh from a local Holborn flower shop on a summer morning. Perfect for celebrating occasions from graduations to promotions or brightening city flats, this bouquet delivers warmth, optimism, and the distinctive energy of the Holborn community in every petal.
SUNNY FIELDS
£70.00
In a portrait where freshness and urban style meet, a vibrant gathering of Gerbera daisies commands the arrangement, representing the colour and character woven through the streets of Holborn. The bold interplay of sunny yellow, striking orange, and lavish magenta is made all the more captivating by the strong, dark centers-each flower standing as a sunspot amidst lush green leaves, mirroring the creative pulse of Lamb's Conduit Street or Queen Square. Wrapped with textural brown craft paper and then sealed beneath a glistening layer of cellophane, the bouquet reflects both rustic sensibility and modern grace, much like Holborn itself. The clear glass vase, its shape elegant and timeless, reveals the stems submerged in water, ensuring the flowers remain as fresh as morning blooms picked from a nearby market. An understated twine tie winds around the arrangement, holding a petite white card hand-illustrated with a ruby-red rose, emblematic of care and connection. This arrangement, bathed in pure daylight, glimmers with the promise of celebration-whether to honor a new office arrival on Theobalds Road, send well wishes, or simply to bring a wave of positivity to someone's day. The impression is one of exuberance balanced with grounded artistry, capturing the very essence of Holborn living.
SUNNY GARDEN
£49.00
This radiant gift set-pairing a full, artistically balanced bouquet with Thorntons Orange Crisp chocolates-encapsulates the inviting charm found in Holborn's boutique flower shops. At the centre, a lavish gathering of open roses displays a flowing tapestry of colours, each petal blending from soft yellow or cream at the core through rich coral, peach, and deep rose pink toward the outer folds. Some flowers are half open, others unfurl gloriously, creating a pleasant sense of lively movement. Surrounding the blooms, deep green leaves of ruscus or eucalyptus add texture and bring to mind the shaded courtyards and historic streets around Holborn Viaduct. In the composition's lower corner, an upright Thorntons 'Orange Crisp' chocolate package conveys homage to artisanal indulgence-its design stylish in light beige and brown, elegantly branded with the familiar logo and an illustrated promise of the truffles' delights. In front, two actual unwrapped chocolates glisten temptingly: glossy dark-milk spheres hinting at tangy, crisp-centered sweetness. The bouquet's stems, neatly gathered and extending downward, signal a fresh, locally prepared hand-tie, ready to be gifted. This ensemble feels at home accompanying celebrations in Holborn, whether for a birthday near the British Museum or a thank-you to a colleague off Chancery Lane-capturing the blend of heritage, artistry, and generosity that define the area's unique spirit.
SWEET SERENADE
£89.00
A vibrant celebration of colour and texture, this meticulously arranged bouquet from Florist Holborn radiates with artistic flair and timeless elegance. Set against a crisp white backdrop reminiscent of the contemporary galleries around High Holborn, plush hydrangeas in shades of deep blue, teal, and muted purple take centre stage, their petals lush and full. They are joined by elegant lilac roses and classic white ranunculus, each unfurling in spirals that recall the blooming walks through Bloomsbury gardens. Delicate sprays of pale yellow-green lisianthus introduce a gentle brightness, while lively fuchsia-pink blossoms dart between the main flowers with energetic cheer. Feathery pink astilbe plumes encircle the edges, lending an ethereal softness suggestive of a spring morning in Red Lion Square. Intricate filler flowers, lacy and faintly greenish-white, bring subtle depth and echo the refined foliage common to historic Holborn. Polished green leaves are thoughtfully interspersed throughout, anchoring the colourful bouquet and reflecting the lushness of local parks near Theobald's Road. The stems are drawn together and finished with a glossy royal purple satin ribbon-a flourish of luxury linking all the rich hues. Crafted for joyous celebrations or uplifting everyday occasions, this exquisite arrangement brings the creative vibrancy and classic expertise of Florist Holborn into any home or event in WC1.
