BASKETS / POSIES
A vibrant, carefully composed basket of mixed blooms presented on a stark white backdrop, reflecting the thoughtful hands of a florist familiar with North Ockendon's quieter streets and green lanes. The arrangement centers on several immaculate white Gerbera daisies, their wide petals crisp against the background and their centers a deep brown-black that anchors the eye. Nestled among them are clusters of pale pink carnations whose ruffled edges create a soft, romantic cushion around the stronger gerbera silhouettes. Filling the spaces are many small white and pale yellow daisy-like flowers-likely spray chrysanthemums or asters-that add a lush, garden-fresh density and gentle brightness. Subtle accents of tiny violet-blue star flowers are dotted through the greenery, providing cool contrast and a light, floral perfume that complements the eucalyptus undertone. The foliage is rich and varied: rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves lend a modern calm, while glossy ruscus extends in elegant trailing stems from the left of the basket, suggesting movement and fullness. All elements are arranged in a pale, woven wicker basket with a sturdy curved handle, its natural texture visible in the soft, even studio light. The overall effect is one of restrained elegance-suitable as a comforting tribute, a bedside get-well gift, or a thoughtful congratulations. Locals in North Ockendon and nearby Upminster or Aveley will recognise the easy, unfussy style of neighbourhood floristry; Florist North Ockendon prepares this piece to feel fresh from the market and ready for local delivery when a prompt, sincere expression is required.
ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU BASKET
£50.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY BASKET
£60.00
Against a pure white studio background, this elegant sympathy basket appears calm and composed, its subtle shadow grounding it as though it were resting in a peaceful North Ockendon chapel. The basket is a light, off-white weave, with a sturdy, smoothly curved handle that rises like a quiet arch over the flowers. From within, a carefully structured arrangement overflows, rich in both symbolism and texture. At the centre, a creamy white rose opens gracefully, its tightly layered petals unfurling in a soft spiral that suggests serenity and lasting love. Flanking the rose, two deep purple calla lilies curve gently outward, their sleek, trumpet-shaped blooms and velvety finish adding a dignified, modern touch that suits contemporary funeral tributes. Weaving between these focal flowers are clusters of delicate clematis blossoms, their star-shaped petals tinted in pale lavender and lilac, each with a tiny yellow heart that brightens the surrounding greenery. Scattered throughout the basket, small yellow and white bell-shaped flowers, reminiscent of freesia or alstroemeria, add cheerful highlights, hinting at fond memories and small joys shared. On the right edge of the design, a single magenta gerbera daisy emerges from the foliage, its wide ring of petals creating a vivid accent that captures the eye and suggests the unique personality of the loved one being honoured. All of the blooms are nestled into abundant green foliage, featuring broad, glossy leaves and lighter, airy sprigs that spill gently over the sides, echoing the hedgerows and gardens around North Ockendon. Rounded and generous in shape, this arrangement feels both comforting and refined, ideal for expressing sympathy, accompanying a funeral service, or sending a heartfelt message of support to families throughout the local area.
TREASURED MOMENTS BASKET
£65.00
This image shows a thoughtfully crafted funeral flower basket, the kind of piece a local North Ockendon florist might prepare for a family saying goodbye to someone dear. The basket is made from light-coloured wicker, painted or washed in a soft off-white or pale beige tone that feels warm yet understated. It has a low, elongated oval shape and a matching handle arching smoothly across the centre, forming a delicate frame above the flowers. Inside, the arrangement is densely packed and softly domed, creating a sense of fullness without forcing the blooms. Large creamy white roses are the main focal point; they sit open and generous, their velvety petals folding inwards like calm, quiet hearts. Around them, star-shaped clematis flowers in gentle lavender and muted periwinkle extend their slender petals, each bloom with a striking yellow-green centre that brings a hint of brightness, much like a shaft of sunlight over the fields beyond North Ockendon village. Interwoven with these focal flowers are clusters of smaller freesia-like blossoms in white and soft lemon, some still held in smooth, promising buds. These finer blooms add light scent and a sense of progression, as if time is moving gently forward. Soft, ruffled filler flowers that resemble lisianthus tuck into the gaps, so there are no harsh spaces, only a seamless, cushion-like surface of petals. The entire composition is cradled in deep green foliage, mixing shiny, substantial leaves with smaller, airy sprigs to give structure and contrast. The mood is serene, respectful and comforting, suitable for resting beside a coffin, adorning a memory table in a chapel near North Ockendon, or being delivered to a home where loved ones are gathering to remember and reflect.
PEACE & PURITY BASKET
£65.00
In this image, a softly styled sympathy basket sits alone against a bright white backdrop, allowing every detail of the flowers and woodwork to stand out. The basket is fashioned from light, almost creamy wood, its shallow oval body resting on four neat little feet that give a sense of stability and refinement. An arched handle, smooth and pale, curves up and over the arrangement like a protective gesture. Inside, the florist has created a rounded, overflowing mound of blooms, with no harsh lines-only gentle curves and layered textures. Creamy white roses are scattered throughout, their fully opened petals arranged in classic spirals that radiate calm and dignity. Nestled beside them are deep red carnations, ruffled and full, bringing richness and a poignant, heartfelt tone. Some carnations show softer shades, with pale pink petals kissed with red around the edges, introducing a tender nuance that feels especially fitting for a farewell. Fine white flowers, similar to freesias, peek out between the larger heads, their small, bell-like blossoms and slender green stems adding movement and a touch of delicacy. The flowers are framed by an abundance of greenery: broad, dark leaves provide structure and depth, while feathery green fronds rise lightly above and around the bouquet, softening the overall outline. The design exudes the quiet expertise of a local North Ockendon florist, familiar with creating tributes for intimate services across the village and surrounding countryside. It would sit beautifully beside a casket, on a memory table, or at the front of a chapel, offering a visual expression of sympathy, love, and remembrance when words feel hard to find.
REMEMBRANCE BASKET
£60.00
The photograph shows a beautifully domed bouquet set against a crisp, white background, giving the flowers the appearance of a soft, colourful cloud carefully composed by a local North Ockendon florist. The arrangement is densely packed, with each bloom placed to create a harmonious blend of shape and tone. Dominating the design are large garden roses in pastel shades of blush pink, warm yellow, and gentle peach, their velvety petals swirling outwards in layered spirals. Some roses are fully open, showcasing lush, ruffled centres, while others remain in earlier stages of bloom, adding a sense of movement and natural progression. Interspersed among them are airy clematis blooms, their long, star-like petals in pale lavender and white reaching outward with a relaxed, garden-grown grace. Each clematis flower features a distinct yellow centre, adding delicate points of brightness throughout the arrangement. To provide contrast, several stems of blue eryngium, or sea holly, stand proudly with spiky, steel-blue heads and narrow, serrated bracts, introducing a cooler hue and a striking, textural twist. Deep purple lisianthus flowers, from tight buds to softly flared cups, are tucked into the spaces between the larger blooms, lending depth and elegance. Here and there, clusters of bright red hypericum berries peek out, their shiny, rounded surfaces catching the light like tiny ornaments, reminiscent of seasonal hedgerows along the roads into North Ockendon. The bouquet is wrapped in a rich collar of greenery - broad, glossy leaves, airy, fern-like stems, and touches of deep, burgundy foliage that add shadow and definition. Overall, the composition feels warm, joyful, and timeless, ideal as a centrepiece for family gatherings, a romantic gesture, or a special same-day delivery to homes and farms around North Ockendon.
ETERNAL MEMORY POSY
£100.00
Seen from an overhead vantage, this round bouquet presents a composed study in white and cream-large, luminous white lilies with characteristic trumpet forms and pale green stamens sit at the heart of the arrangement, while clusters of creamy ivory roses in bud and half-bloom form a soft, textured cushion around them. Sprays of delicate Baby's Breath (Gypsophila) are artfully scattered between the larger flowers, creating a light, cloud-like matrix that softens edges and lends a handcrafted, airy finish. A few bright green leaves emerge along the perimeter, adding a fresh, verdant frame to the otherwise monochrome palette. The photograph's clean, neutral background and gentle top lighting accentuate the petals' translucence and the subtle gradations from pure white to warm cream, inviting the viewer to appreciate both the visual symmetry and the tactile qualities-the smooth lily petals, the velvety rose spirals, the feathery breath-of-spring clusters. The overall mood is one of understated sophistication and quiet celebration, well suited to bridal bouquets, elegant centrepieces, or consoling sympathy arrangements. As a local creation from Florist North Ockendon, this bouquet reflects the shop's knowledge of classic floral symbolism and neighbourhood tastes, making it an appropriate choice for occasions across North Ockendon, Upminster and nearby Cranham. It suggests freshness and careful same-day preparation without overstating logistics, and the scent profile-sweet lilies tempered by the rose's warm perfume-completes the sensory picture for anyone imagining the arrangement in their hands.
COMPASSION POSY
£90.00
A lush, circular bouquet of mixed lilies and roses is photographed from slightly above against a clean white background, its colours and textures glowing as though set on a florist's table in North Ockendon just before delivery. At the core of the arrangement are several large white lilies, their trumpet-shaped petals unfolding with quiet elegance, showcasing pale green centres and long, slender stamens that hint at a gentle, fresh fragrance. Interlaced around these lilies, soft blush pink roses and cream-toned roses cluster together, some just beginning to open, others in generous full bloom, their velvety petals layered in spirals that evoke romance and tenderness. Punctuating this gentle palette, deep pink or magenta Oriental lilies push forward with bolder energy, their vivid petals speckled with darker tones and crowned with golden-yellow anthers, creating dramatic focal points that catch the eye. Delicate sprays of white baby's breath thread through the entire bouquet, their tiny blossoms forming a light, airy veil that links the larger flowers and enhances the bouquet's rounded, abundant form. Here and there, slim green leaves and stems peek out, adding a touch of garden freshness that balances the arrangement's refined style. The bright, even lighting accentuates each bloom, making the bouquet appear freshly crafted and ready to travel along local roads like Ockendon Road or towards nearby Upminster. This floral design feels ideal for special moments in North Ockendon-perhaps as a bridal bouquet for a countryside wedding, a radiant anniversary surprise, or a thoughtful gift to mark a significant birthday-where emotion is best expressed through timeless lilies, classic roses, and delicate gypsophila.
CHERISHED MOMENTS POSY
£90.00
In soft morning light, a compact, dome-shaped bouquet of blush and white blooms reads like a quiet embrace. The dominant pink roses-ranging from larger, fully unfurled garden roses to clusters of petite spray roses-form a sumptuous, tactile surface whose petals feel velvety even at a glance. Interleaved among them, pure white freesias rise with their elegant, tubular stems and dainty bell-shaped flowers; some freesia are open and revealing pale yellow stamens, while others are still closed, lending a sense of gentle anticipation and natural rhythm. Lush dark-green leaves create a deep, steady backdrop that makes the pinks and whites sing, while variegated leaves with creamy edges add a delicate, vintage accent and visual lift across the composition. The arrangement is meticulously packed so no stems show, producing a formal, polished silhouette that sits serenely on the white background and casts a soft shadow. There is a subtle fragrance suggested - the honeyed sweetness of freesia balanced by the soft, classic scent of roses - that would fill a small room with restrained warmth. Perfect for a tender celebration such as a new baby arrival, a quiet anniversary breakfast, or a thoughtful get-well gesture for neighbours in North Ockendon and Upminster, this bouquet feels both intimate and composed, the result of careful floral technique and an eye for comforting colour and texture.
HEARTFELT SYMPATHY POSY
