BASKETS / POSIES
A vibrant yet serene handwoven basket filled with a considered mix of white and pastel blooms, photographed on a pure white background so every texture and tone is visible. The composition is centred on several flawless white Gerbera daisies whose wide petals radiate from dark brown-to-black centres, creating clean, luminous focal points. Soft pink carnations form clusters of frothy, ruffled texture that sit close around the gerberas, while myriad small white and pale yellow daisy-like flowers-likely spray chrysanthemums-fill gaps and give a lush, abundant look. Delicate, starry violet-blue accent flowers are tucked in among the heads to give gentle contrast and a whisper of cool scent. The foliage is intentionally layered: silvery, rounded eucalyptus leaves bring a modern, calming tone and a faint menthol aroma; glossy ruscus branches trail gracefully out from the left side to create movement; and assorted green leaves build a dense, supportive base. All blooms are arranged inside a light-coloured woven wicker basket with a sturdy curved wooden handle that arches over the display, giving the piece a rustic, handmade charm. Bright, even studio light highlights each petal's texture and the basket's weave, presenting the arrangement as fresh, tactile, and composed with care. As a local florist serving Tooting High Street, we often craft this style for get-well wishes, new baby visits, or quiet congratulations-Tooting Florist can arrange local delivery across Tooting and nearby streets for same-day or timed delivery when freshness matters.
ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU BASKET
£50.00
From the heart of Tooting, imagine arriving on a bustling High Street and encountering this Florist Choice Basket as if it were plucked from a secret garden. Seen from above, the pale white woven basket cradles a lush mix of soft pinks, creamy whites, deep fuchsias, and bright greens of eucalyptus, all arranged with the quiet confidence of a seasoned florist. The crown of the bouquet features large hot pink peonies with ruffled petals, followed by white ranunculus that unfurl in delicate spirals, then cushions of pale pink hydrangeas, and clusters of blush and cream roses. Pristine white anemones with dark centers punctuate the arrangement, while smaller white filler blooms and slender greenery add texture and movement. The composition is anchored by the rustic-chic basket, its light color enhancing every shade and shadow. A white square overlay sits over the center, bearing Florist Choice Basket in a flowing script and the price ?60 in bold sans-serif type. This premium gift feels perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or a romantic surprise, and its presence on a Tooting doorstep signals freshness and care. For customers across Tooting and nearby neighborhoods, Tooting Florist offers reliable same-day delivery to Balham, Streatham, and beyond, bringing vibrant color and local pride to every bouquet. Its fragrance lingers softly, a whisper of eucalyptus and soft petals, inviting a moment of pause before the celebration begins.
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY BASKET
£60.00
A serene sympathy flower basket is carefully styled in a pale woven container with a rounded handle, set against a crisp white background that highlights every nuance of colour and form. The design is centred around a single creamy white rose, its tightly furled petals forming a calm focal point that suggests peace and remembrance. Around it, two dramatic deep purple calla lilies rise gracefully, their sculptural, trumpet-shaped blooms introducing a note of quiet sophistication and reverence. Interlaced among them are delicate, star-like clematis blossoms in shades of pale lavender and lilac, each with a soft yellow heart, giving the arrangement a gentle, almost weightless quality. Bright little notes of yellow, likely freesia or alstroemeria-style blossoms, add warmth and hope, their bell-shaped flowers catching the light as if they were tiny lanterns. On the right-hand side, a striking magenta gerbera daisy emerges from the greenery, its vivid ring of petals evoking a treasured memory or a life lived with colour. The entire bouquet is held within an abundant halo of rich green foliage, from broad, glossy leaves to finer, lighter-toned sprigs that create depth and texture. A soft shadow beneath the basket gives the composition realism and a grounded presence, like something lovingly set down on a side table before a service. This floral tribute feels especially fitting for funerals and memorials in Tooting, from quiet chapels near the Broadway to family homes off Mitcham Road, reflecting the care and craftsmanship local florists bring to honouring a loved one's life with fresh, beautifully balanced flowers.
TREASURED MOMENTS BASKET
£65.00
A serene sympathy flower basket rests against a pure white backdrop, its understated beauty drawing the eye to every curve and petal. The light-toned wicker basket, with its matching handle rising gently overhead, is generously filled so that flowers spill upwards in a soft, rounded dome. At the centre, creamy white roses open fully, their layered petals almost luminous, like quiet candles in a peaceful chapel. Between these roses, star-shaped clematis in cool lavender and misty periwinkle blue stretch their pointed petals, each bloom marked by a vivid yellow-green heart that adds a touch of quiet brightness. Surrounding them, small white and pale yellow flowers similar to freesia and lisianthus, some still in bud, introduce a sense of movement and natural grace, as though a soft breeze had just passed through Tooting Bec Common. Deep, polished green foliage encircles and supports the blooms, the leaves catching imaginary light as they fan outward, framing the arrangement in living green. The palette stays gentle and contemplative: whites and creams anchored by hints of lemon and lavender, perfect for a funeral or memorial tribute. It feels like an arrangement created with care by a local Tooting florist, perhaps destined for a service near St George's or for a quiet condolence delivery along Garratt Lane. The mood is one of respect and compassion, offering comfort to grieving families while honouring a life with natural elegance and dignified calm.
PEACE & PURITY BASKET
£65.00
In this image, a softly lit funeral flower basket sits alone against a pure white backdrop, allowing every petal and leaf to be clearly seen. The basket itself is made from pale, natural wood, gently oblong with discreet little feet that give it height and poise. A sturdy, arched handle spans the top, painted or stained in a light cream tone that blends effortlessly with the slats. Rising from this base is a dense, domed arrangement of fresh blooms, carefully shaped so no side feels heavier than another. Full, creamy white roses are the quiet heart of the piece, their open petals slightly cupped, as if holding unspoken memories. Around them, velvety red carnations provide rich colour and texture, their crimped edges and layered petals suggesting deep, enduring affection. Pale pink and white-tipped carnations nestle between, their softly mottled tones adding a tender, compassionate note. Finer details come from clusters of small white flowers, reminiscent of freesias, whose slender stems thread gracefully through the design, lending lightness and a touch of movement. The flowers are cradled in abundant greenery: broad, glossy leaves form a strong, dark green base, while delicate, feathery sprigs of fern or asparagus plumosa rise through the blooms with gentle, cloud-like softness. The composition feels calm and considered, like a tribute arranged by a Tooting florist familiar with local churches and crematoriums, perhaps intended for a service near St George's or a farewell in the quiet streets off Mitcham Road. The overall mood is one of dignified sorrow, comfort, and enduring love, expressed through classic red and white tones.
REMEMBRANCE BASKET
£60.00
A meticulously shaped round bouquet photographed against clean white, the composition speaking of careful selection and local craft. Creamy peach, blush pink and soft yellow garden roses form the principal volume, each bloom opening in delicate spirals that catch a soft studio light and create a warm, romantic heart to the piece. Interwoven among them are pale lavender clematis blossoms with star-like petals and bright central eyes, lending an ethereal, garden-wild note. The arrangement is anchored by striking blue Eryngium (sea holly) thistles - their spiky, steel-blue heads introduce a dramatic, tactile contrast and a modern edge. Deeper plum and violet lisianthus are tucked into the nooks between roses, their ruffled cups and buds adding shadow and richness, while clusters of vivid red hypericum berries flash like small rubies across the dome. Varied foliage - glossy broad leaves, feathery sprigs and a few deep burgundy accents - shapes the base and provides a verdant cushion that enhances the bouquet's sense of abundance. You can almost imagine the scent: a soft rose perfume softened by green, leafy notes and a faint marine sharpness from the eryngium. As a local florist I picture this delivered for celebrations or heartfelt thanks across Tooting and Balham, offered for table centres at a Tooting Bec gathering or as a bright welcome in a flat near Mitcham Road. Prepared with the care you expect from Tooting Florist, it balances classic romance with contemporary texture and would read beautifully in photos for a neighbourhood wedding or a thoughtful gift.
ETERNAL MEMORY POSY
£100.00
Imagine a hand-gathered, perfectly round bouquet seen from above, its white and cream palette illuminated by soft, diffused light that flattens no detail and celebrates texture. Several large, elegant white lilies dominate the composition, their trumpet-shaped petals curving outward to reveal pale green to yellow stamens that add a whisper of colour at each bloom's centre. Between these lilies, clusters of cream and ivory roses remain mostly in bud or early bloom, their concentric layers of velvety petals forming compact cushions that contrast with the lilies' open drama. Scattered like fine snowfall, sprays of Baby's Breath (Gypsophila) lace through the arrangement, lending an ethereal, cloud-like softness and delicate negative space. A few vivid green leaves appear at the edges, tucking beneath blossoms and offering a cooling visual punctuation to the sea of white. The bouquet's dense, symmetrical construction and refined tonal harmony convey purity, reassurance, and understated luxury - suitable for a bride seeking classic elegance, for a newborn celebration, or for expressing quiet sympathy. As crafted by a florist familiar with local tastes, this bouquet would sit beautifully as a table centre at a reception near Tooting Market or as a bridal posy delivered to a home by Tooting Broadway; its scent would be a gentle blend of lily sweetness and the subtle, honeyed rose perfume, calming and uplifting in equal measure. The image reads as both artful and sincere, a white statement that suggests fresh flowers hand-selected and assembled with care.
COMPASSION POSY
£90.00
Cradled against a crisp white background, this lush, rounded bouquet feels like a moment of celebration frozen in time, as if just delivered to a doorstep off Tooting High Street. The eye is first drawn to the generous white lilies, their trumpet-shaped blooms unfurling with quiet confidence, petals smooth and cool-toned, some blossoms wide open while others linger in tight green buds that promise days of enjoyment ahead. Nestled around them are roses in soft blush pink and creamy ivory, petals layered like silk, some with slightly ruffled edges that catch the light and reveal subtle tonal shifts from centre to outer rim. Scattered through the design, vivid fuchsia Oriental lilies, reminiscent of Stargazers, introduce drama, their magenta petals dusted with darker speckles and tipped with golden-yellow stamens that radiate energy and joy. All around, tiny white gypsophila floats like a gentle mist, its countless miniature blooms softening the transitions between lily and rose, giving the bouquet a dreamy, cloud-like fullness. Hints of glossy green foliage and upright lily leaves add structure and a garden-fresh feeling, as if the flowers were gathered at first light and arranged with care in a Tooting florist's studio. The bright, even lighting enhances the crispness of each petal and the interplay of pinks, whites, and greens, while the rounded, hand-tied look suggests a design ideal for weddings, milestone birthdays, or romantic gestures. This is the kind of bouquet that would feel at home at an intimate celebration near Tooting Bec station, radiating tenderness, joy, and the quiet luxury of expertly chosen, freshly cut flowers.
CHERISHED MOMENTS POSY
£90.00
I picture this arrangement as a calm English morning gathered into a compact, domed bouquet. At its heart, classical pink roses - from broader, fully opened garden-style blooms to clusters of petite spray roses - establish a warm, embracing presence, their petals soft to the eye and inviting to the touch. Interspersed among them are numerous white freesias whose upright sprays and bell-shaped flowers lend crisp contrast and a delicate, honeyed scent; some freesias are in full bloom, others remain as promising buds, suggesting the arrangement will continue to soften and open over several days. The greenery is generous and varied: deep, glossy leaves like ruscus provide structure, while lighter, variegated leaves with creamy edges (think pittosporum or euonymus) add flecks of brightness that lift the palette. The overall silhouette is round and compact, without visible stems, creating the impression of a dense, cushion-like floral pillow photographed against a stark white backdrop and illuminated by soft, natural light. This composition reads as thoughtful and restrained - a bouquet chosen for tender family moments, a quiet birthday at home, or a gentle celebration near Tooting Market. It carries the tactile sensations of velvet rose petals and crisp freesia stems, a faint floral perfume, and the reassuring feel of professional florist craftsmanship delivered locally in Upper Tooting and Tooting Broadway.
