BUTTONHOLES
A refined floral boutonniere is photographed close-up against a subtly woven, light beige linen backdrop, its understated texture echoing the calm, riverside character of North Woolwich. The arrangement centres on two lush white lisianthus flowers, their petals gently ruffled and artfully tipped in a deep, velvety purple that creates a vivid yet elegant contrast. Nestled around them are airy clusters of tiny white filler blooms, like baby's breath, that soften the edges and give the piece a cloud-like lightness. Rising slightly above the main cluster is a slim, upright spike of muscari, its miniature bell-shaped flowers packed tightly together in tones of intense purple-blue, adding both height and an intriguing, almost woodland texture. Wisps of fine, feathery greenery, similar to asparagus fern, radiate from behind the blossoms, interlacing with a few slightly broader leaves to ground the design in fresh, natural green. Two pale green, unopened buds sit at the edge of the posy, hinting at new beginnings, which feels especially fitting for a wedding morning or prom night. The stems are gathered with care and wrapped in smooth, white satin ribbon, the band clean and precise, finished with a small, tidy bow that marks it as ready to be pinned neatly to a jacket. The overall composition feels considered but not fussy, the sort of boutonniere a groom might choose for a relaxed ceremony near Royal Victoria Gardens or a stylish celebration along the river, where subtle colour and craftsmanship speak more loudly than size.
LILIUM & LISIANTHUS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
On a finely woven, light beige fabric that could easily be the sort of linen laid across a North Woolwich wedding table, a single corsage or boutonniere is displayed with quiet pride. The floral piece is composed around a nest of soft pink flowers, each bloom finely ruffled and layered, similar to miniature stocks or dainty garden blossoms gathered at their peak. Their blush tones drift gently from pale pastel at the edges to slightly warmer pink nearer the centre, creating a tender, sunrise-like gradient. Interlaced among these central blooms are dainty tufts of white baby's breath, the tiny clustered flowers adding a lace-like texture that feels both traditional and romantic. Here and there, small spikes of lavender or deep purple florets appear, a subtle accent that deepens the colour story without overpowering the pink and white harmony. To one side, creamy white buds tinged with pale green stretch outwards, possibly freesia or similar slim, elegant flowers not yet fully opened, hinting at promise and new beginnings. The entire arrangement rests on a backdrop of lush, deep green foliage: broad leaves give structure and form, while slender, grass-like sprigs and ferny threads soften the outline, suggesting a garden freshly cut after morning rain by a careful florist. At the base, the stems are brought together and dressed in a lustrous, fuchsia satin ribbon, tied into a neat bow that adds a modern pop of colour and a playful flourish. The lighting is gentle and even, catching the satin sheen and the natural gloss on the leaves, creating a sense of freshness and care. It feels like the sort of handcrafted touch a groom or prom guest might collect from a trusted North Woolwich flower shop on Store Road before heading to a nearby celebration.
LISIANTHUS & ANEMONE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
The image presents an elegant peach rose boutonniere laid horizontally on a light beige linen-style fabric, whose subtle woven texture forms a calm, neutral canvas. At the centre, a single rose in soft shades of peach appears half-open, its petals spiralling outward from a more saturated apricot core to creamy, almost shell-like outer edges, giving the impression of a dawn sky over the Thames near North Woolwich. Just above and to the right of the rose, a small spray of white baby's breath (gypsophila) fans out, the miniature blooms forming a gentle halo of softness that contrasts with the rose's fuller, sculpted form. Slender strands of bright green foliage and two broader, darker green leaves curl and loop neatly around the stems, adding both structure and a fresh, garden-picked character that feels in tune with local park greenery and riverside walks. The stems are carefully wrapped in a peach satin ribbon that echoes the flower's warm tones; the ribbon is coiled in precise turns and secured in a discreet knot or tiny bow toward the base, ready to be pinned to a suit jacket. Soft, even lighting caresses the petals, highlighting their velvety texture and the shimmer of the ribbon, while also revealing the linen's fine weave, much like the understated linens used at small North Woolwich receptions or engagement dinners. The composition feels intimate and still, suggesting the quiet moments before a ceremony, and the boutonniere itself speaks of thoughtful design and romantic restraint-ideal for a groom, best man, or prom date seeking something timeless yet subtly modern in this part of East London.
ORANGE ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
Displayed against a pale, linen-like fabric that has a gentle, natural weave, this boutonniere feels like a small work of art created for a North Woolwich wedding morning. At the centre lies a pristine white phalaenopsis orchid, its silky petals wide and slightly cupped, catching the soft light as if it has just been opened by a warm breeze from the Thames. The orchid's throat glows with a subtle blend of soft yellow and fine reddish-orange markings, a miniature painting that adds character and draws the eye inward. Around it, clusters of airy white baby's breath scatter like tiny stars, giving the arrangement a soft, romantic texture. On the left, two compact lime-green chrysanthemum buds, rounded and delicately spiky, offer a vivid contrast, their bright green echoing the fresh foliage of local gardens near Pier Road in early spring. A rich, deep green leaf sits beneath the main bloom, creating a graceful base, while another smaller, darker green leaf adds quiet balance near the stem end. The stems themselves are bound tightly with a luxurious crimson red ribbon, wrapped with precision and finished in a tidy knot that adds a bold yet tasteful splash of colour. The light beige fabric background, with its slightly coarse, natural fibres, keeps the focus firmly on the flowers, emphasising their clean lines and refined palette. This single floral accent feels ideal for a groom, groomsman, or prom guest, a delicate yet confident statement piece that would travel beautifully from a ceremony in North Woolwich to an evening celebration across East London.
ORCHID & CHRYSANTHEMUMS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
An artfully styled boutonniere lies on a neutral, oatmeal-toned woven fabric, its subtle texture providing a calm backdrop reminiscent of a linen tablecloth set for an intimate celebration in North Woolwich. At the centre of the design, a single white Phalaenopsis orchid opens fully, its velvety petals wide and serene, curving outward from a softly glowing throat shaded with creamy yellow and gentle orange. This warm hint of colour at the core lends the flower a sense of depth and quiet vibrancy, like a secret smile. Encircling the orchid, innumerable tiny white baby's breath blossoms gather in loose clusters, creating a cloud-like fringe that catches the light and softens the composition. Nestled just below, a cheerful cluster of glossy, bright red berries adds a joyful spark, their round, shining surfaces suggesting festivity and seasonal charm, perfect for a winter wedding near the Thames Path or a formal event close to King George V station. A few paler green, berry-like buds peek out from between the leaves, hinting at new growth and freshness. Rich green foliage of various shapes and sizes cradles the flowers and berries, the smooth leaves adding structure and a natural frame, evoking the greenery of local parks such as Royal Victoria Gardens. At the base, all stems are tightly bound with a striking red satin ribbon, wrapped smoothly and secured in a neat knot, its short ends lying tidy and composed. The polished finish suggests the boutonniere is ready to be pinned to a groom's or prom guest's lapel, conveying care, romance, and thoughtful craftsmanship typical of bespoke designs from North Woolwich Florist at northwoolwichflorist.co.uk.
ORCHID & HYPERICUM GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
A delicately crafted boutonniere rests on a pale beige, linen-like fabric, its woven texture softly visible beneath the flowers, much like the understated textiles often seen in homes around North Woolwich's quieter residential streets. At the centre is a single blush-pink rose, fully open yet perfectly composed, with petals that curl gently away from a soft pastel heart into edges touched by a slightly deeper, more vibrant pink. The bloom looks freshly picked, its velvety surface catching the light in gentle highlights that suggest cool, dewy freshness. Surrounding this central rose are airy sprigs of white baby's breath, their tiny, cloud-like florets clustered in loose, informal groups that lighten the composition and give it a sense of breathable space, ideal for a groom or prom guest stepping out near King George V DLR. Behind the rose, slender strands of light green, grass-like foliage arc outward in fine, feathery lines, adding movement and a sense of gentle flow, as though a breeze from the nearby river might ruffle them. A single, broader leaf of deeper green has been folded with care to cradle the base of the rose and baby's breath, providing structure and a polished finish. The stems are bound in a smooth satin ribbon in soft lavender-pink, perhaps with a whisper of magenta at the edges, neatly wrapped and secured in a simple knot that lies flat and elegant. Soft, even lighting casts minimal shadows, allowing the pinks, greens, and creamy whites to appear true to life. The whole piece feels calm, romantic, and thoughtfully crafted, the sort of lapel flower a North Woolwich couple might choose for a registry wedding, riverside photos, or a formal evening celebration nearby.
PURPLE ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A refined floral buttonhole lies diagonally across a light beige, subtly woven fabric, the neutral background echoing the understated charm of North Woolwich's residential streets near the river. At its centre, a single fuchsia pink rose takes focus, the bloom captured in that perfect moment between bud and full flower. Its petals form dense, velvety layers that curl inward at the heart and open outward with a rich depth of colour, evoking feelings of romance and celebration. Clustering around the base of the rose are airy sprigs of white baby's breath, each tiny bloom creating a lace-like halo that gently softens and brightens the design. Tucked among these delicate flowers, small, round hypericum berries glow in a vibrant red, their polished surfaces catching the light and adding a subtle festive energy, ideal for winter weddings or evening events. Surrounding the composition is a thoughtful mix of greenery: broader, dark green leaves are folded and curved to form a supportive cradle, while fine, feathery foliage extends outward, lending a sense of lightness and movement, like foliage stirred by a Thames-side breeze. The stems are wrapped in a smooth, satin red ribbon, carefully wound and secured into a neat knot that keeps everything in place while adding another layer of romantic colour. Soft, diffused lighting highlights the contrasts of texture-velvet petals, crisp berries, airy gypsophila, and silky ribbon-showcasing the florist's attention to detail. This boutonniere feels made for a groom or groomsman walking into a North Woolwich ceremony, carrying a quiet but confident sense of joy and refinement.
RED ROSE & HYPERICUM GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A handcrafted boutonnière is shown resting at a gentle angle on a pale beige, linen-like fabric, its subtle weave adding a soft, tactile backdrop that lets the flowers take centre stage. The focal point is a single, tightly closed rosebud in a vivid fuchsia to deep magenta-red hue, its smooth petals wrapped closely together, suggesting freshness and the promise of a bloom still to unfold. Nestled around this central rose are light, airy clusters of tiny white baby's breath, each spray made up of numerous delicate blossoms that resemble miniature clouds, softening the intensity of the rose's colour. Fine, grass-like fronds of bright green foliage arc gracefully outwards, while a few darker, broader green leaves sit closer to the base, creating both contrast and a sense of depth. The stems of the rose, filler flowers, and greenery are bound with a rich red satin ribbon, applied with a florist's practiced precision so that it lies flat and smooth, its sheen catching the light in a subtle, celebratory glow. A small decorative loop in the ribbon hints at a bow, adding to the refined, formal feel. The composition is well lit, so every vein in the leaves and curve of the petals is clear, capturing the care that might go into preparing buttonholes in a North Woolwich workshop before a ceremony in a local registry office or a riverside venue. This boutonnière feels perfectly suited to a groom, prom guest, or formal event attendee, a small but meaningful accent to a lapel, evoking romance and carefully considered style in the heart of East London.
RED ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A North Woolwich-inspired buttonhole rests on a finely textured, pale beige cloth, its artistry speaking of quiet elegance and local charm. Heart of the design is a bashful, pastel pink rose-the quintessential symbol of new beginnings-its silken petals forming a gentle spiral flush with life and anticipation. Nestled alongside, a soft blush or peach bloom unfurls, accented by subtle notes of golden yellow and delicate veins that hint at the quiet beauty of Thameside evenings. Puffs of tiny white filler flowers evoke the freshness of morning walks in Lyle Park, their airy form echoed by the bouncy green globes of mini chrysanthemums tucked within. The vivid greenery-a medley of slender, spiky grass and glossy, rounded leaves-arches and supports the florals, echoing the lush pockets of riverbank nature nearby. A sleek, gleaming ribbon in fuchsia pink embraces the stems, knotted into a petite, celebratory bow that glows in the natural daylight filtering through a North Woolwich window. The textured linen base, with its subtle play of shadows, frames the arrangement, making every colour and detail sing. Thoughtfully designed for milestone events-weddings on Pier Road or proms celebrated along the Docklands-this boutonniere carries the scent of fresh petals, the touch of silk ribbon, and the promise of memorable moments ahead.
ROSE & ALSTROEMERIA GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£99.00
A single, finely crafted boutonniere is displayed against a softly woven, light beige fabric that looks like natural linen, the muted tone giving the impression of calm morning light over North Woolwich. At the centre of the design, a white alstroemeria opens fully, its velvety petals edged with delicate ripples and marked with refined reddish-brown streaks that run toward the flower's throat, where fine stamens sit like a quiet focal point. Beside it, a vivid green cone of tightly packed buds, similar to an Ornithogalum spike, adds a sculptural, almost modern touch, its texture contrasting beautifully with the softness of the main bloom. Scattered throughout are airy clusters of baby's breath, their minuscule white blossoms appearing almost weightless, like breathy puffs of cloud drifting around the central flower. The blooms are nestled into a bed of contrasting foliage: bold, dark green, lance-shaped leaves give strength and definition, while fine, grass-like strands curve outward, creating gentle arcs that echo grasses along the Thames Path near North Woolwich Pier. At one side of the composition, a bright, satin pink ribbon is wrapped and tied into a precise bow around the stems, its glossy finish catching the light and adding a sweet, celebratory accent perfect for weddings and prom nights. The lighting is soft and even, revealing every detail of petal, leaf, and ribbon without glare, and the overall impression is of a carefully considered, fresh floral accessory, ready to be worn on a suit or dress for special occasions throughout the local area, from intimate home ceremonies to gatherings close to the docks.
WHITE ALSTROEMERIA GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
An elegant wedding boutonnière rests diagonally on a warm, oatmeal-coloured fabric that looks like finely woven linen, its faint grid of threads adding a natural, tactile background. The focal point is a pristine white lisianthus bloom, fully open and positioned just off to the right, its softly ruffled petals layered like delicate silk, forming a rounded, romantic cup. Subtle shadows play between the petals, giving depth and a sense of movement, as if the flower has just unfurled in the gentle morning light. Tucked just below and to the left are two unopened lisianthus buds in creamy green, their slender forms pointing slightly upwards, hinting at new beginnings and the quiet anticipation of a wedding ceremony in a small North Woolwich church or registry office. Around them, airy sprays of white gypsophila weave throughout the composition, their countless tiny blossoms suggesting lightness and the shimmer of confetti drifting over Pier Road. Behind the flowers, thin, dark green, grass-like blades fan gracefully towards the lower left, creating a soft arc that contrasts with the rounded shapes of the blooms, while a single broader deep green leaf peeks from behind the main flower, grounding the design with depth and structure. At the base, the neatly trimmed stems are tightly bound with a striking fuchsia satin ribbon tied into a small, playful bow, the sheen of the fabric catching the light and adding a vivid pop of colour. This bright pink detail feels joyful and contemporary, transforming a classic white-and-green palette into something personal and memorable-perfect for a groom, usher, or prom guest wandering the riverside paths of North Woolwich on a special evening.
WHITE LISIANTHUS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A single white Phalaenopsis orchid, serene and luminous, forms the focal point of this elegant boutonniere, carefully styled as though for a North Woolwich groom stepping out near King George V DLR station. The bloom lies horizontally on a pale beige, linen-textured fabric, whose natural weave provides a calm, neutral backdrop that allows every curve of the orchid's broad petals to stand out. At the centre of the flower, a delicate blend of soft yellow and the lightest touch of blush pink adds depth and warmth, reminiscent of gentle evening light along the Thames Path. Around the base of the orchid, clusters of tiny white baby's breath create an airy, cloud-like halo, softening the composition and adding a romantic, almost dreamlike texture. Slender, vibrant green leaves emerge from behind, offering a fresh, natural contrast, while along one side a short branch holds a couple of lime-green orchid buds, still closed and full of promise, suggesting growth, hope, and the start of a new chapter. The stems are carefully bound together with a bright fuchsia satin ribbon, tied into a refined bow whose glossy finish introduces a joyful splash of colour without overwhelming the design. The ribbon's tails rest lightly against the textured cloth, catching the gentle, even light that also reveals the velvety surface of each petal and the tiny spheres of the baby's breath. The overall impression is one of poised, modern romance-perfect for a wedding, prom, or formal celebration held in and around North Woolwich-capturing both tradition and a contemporary sense of style through precise, thoughtful floristry.
WHITE ORCHID GROOM BOUTONNIERE
£85.00
A single white orchid boutonniere lies thoughtfully positioned on a pale beige, woven fabric surface, as if waiting on a dressing table before a North Woolwich wedding near the riverside walkways. The central flower, a flawless Phalaenopsis orchid, opens in serene, sculpted curves, its petals smooth and slightly glossy like fine porcelain. At the core, a gentle blush of pale yellow and soft cream glows within the orchid's throat, lending the bloom warmth and depth, as though lit from within. Encircling this focal blossom, airy sprays of white baby's breath form a misty, cloud-like frame, their countless tiny blooms adding delicacy and texture, softening every edge of the composition. Slender threads of bright green foliage slip between the gypsophila, their feathery fronds stretching outward with a natural, unforced elegance, suggesting fresh-cut stems brought in early from a local florist's workbench. The stems at the base are drawn tightly together and wrapped in a crisp band of matte white satin ribbon, wrapped so smoothly it almost appears painted on, then neatly finished in a small bow that indicates this piece is ready for a lapel. The light tan backdrop, with its visible linen-like weave, offers a calm, neutral canvas that makes the whites appear even purer and the greens more vivid. The scene feels quiet and intimate, like the final moments before a ceremony at a nearby registry office or a small family gathering at home. This boutonniere, with its simple palette and refined structure, evokes purity, patience, and a subtle confidence-an elegant finishing touch suitable for any formal occasion in and around North Woolwich.
WHITE ORCHID GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
A refined wedding boutonniere rests at a diagonal angle on a pale beige, linen-like fabric, the background's fine woven texture giving a natural, understated elegance that echoes the calm streets around Pier Road in North Woolwich. At its centre, a single white rosebud is tightly yet tenderly formed, creamy petals layered in smooth spirals that promise to unfurl later in the day. The rose's surface appears velvety and cool, with the soft light tracing its curved edges and deepening the shadows between the petals, creating a sense of depth despite the boutonniere's small scale. Peeking from behind the rose and to one side are airy sprays of white baby's breath, their tiny blossoms like scattered snowflakes, adding a cloud-soft halo around the central bloom. Slender, deep green leaves and a few feathery, fern-like sprigs cradle the flowers, offering contrast and giving the piece a fresh, garden-picked feel, as if gathered from a well-tended courtyard off Albert Road. The stems are gathered neatly and wrapped in a crisp band of white satin ribbon, meticulously wound so there are no frayed edges or gaps, and finished with a small, tidy bow placed just beneath the bloom. The ribbon's faint sheen catches the light, echoing the gentle shine of polished cufflinks on a groom's suit. Soft, even lighting falls across the scene, without harsh glare, highlighting the delicate textures of the rose, the baby's breath, and the foliage while keeping the neutral backdrop unobtrusive. This understated boutonniere conveys timeless romance and formality, perfect for a groom or groomsman walking into a North Woolwich ceremony, whether in a riverside venue or an intimate local registry office. Its simple palette of whites and greens speaks of purity, new beginnings, and quiet confidence.
