BASKETS / POSIES
A bright, carefully balanced floral basket that reads as both joyful and composed, captured against a pristine white backdrop so every texture and tint is clear. At its centre are several immaculate white Gerbera daisies; their broad, satiny petals radiate from deep, almost black-brown centres, giving each bloom a crisp focal point. These are surrounded by bunches of soft blush-pink carnations, their layered, frilly edges adding a romantic, plush quality that invites touch. Intermingled throughout the design are numerous small daisy-like blooms in creamy white and pale yellow-likely spray chrysanthemums or asters-which act as a soft, luminous fill and create a sense of abundant freshness. Tiny star-shaped blue to lilac accent flowers are tucked in among the foliage, offering cool, charming pops that lift the palette without overwhelming it.

The whole composition is anchored in a sturdy, light-coloured woven basket, handcrafted from narrow wooden strips, with a warm brown curved handle sweeping over the arrangement like a gentle frame. A variety of green leaves-rounded silvery eucalyptus lending a herbal, calming scent, and glossy ruscus branches that trail to the left-give depth and movement, while other verdant foliage builds a full, supportive base. I assemble pieces like this daily at Manor House Florist for deliveries across Manor House and nearby streets, choosing materials that photograph cleanly under soft, even lighting. Suitable as a serene centrepiece, a get-well gesture, or a respectful sympathy offering, this basket balances purity and warmth in a way neighbours around the local high street and station often request.
ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU BASKET
£50.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY BASKET
£60.00
An elegant funeral flower basket rests on a clean white surface, its pale woven sides and smooth, arching handle creating a calm frame for a thoughtfully composed display of blooms. In the centre, a creamy white rose, fully formed but not yet blown, holds the eye with its tightly layered petals and timeless beauty, a gentle symbol of remembrance. Around it, two rich purple calla lilies curve upward and inward, their sleek, trumpet-shaped forms adding a subtle sense of movement and depth, much like the quiet flow of people passing through Manor House Underground each day. Scattered between these focal flowers are soft lavender clematis blossoms, star-shaped and airy, their muted tones whispering of early spring mornings along Green Lanes when gardens first begin to wake. Small clusters of yellow and white flowers, likely freesia or alstroemeria, bring a light, hopeful brightness, their petite, bell-like blooms softening the deeper purples and creamy whites. To the right, a vivid magenta gerbera daisy-style flower leans forward, its bold ring of petals a tender nod to a life lived with colour and personality. All of this is nestled into a generous bed of rich green foliage, with glossy, rounded leaves and finer, feathery sprigs weaving in and out, creating a full, cushion-like base that feels protective and embracing. The soft studio lighting casts a delicate shadow beneath the basket, making the arrangement appear almost as if it has just been set down for a moment of quiet reflection. Suitable for memorial services, church funerals, or home condolences across Manor House and nearby Harringay, this basket conveys sympathy, support, and heartfelt respect.
TREASURED MOMENTS BASKET
£65.00
A refined funeral flower basket sits alone on a clean white backdrop, its gentle colours and rounded shape evoking stillness and reflection, much like a peaceful walk through Manor House's quieter residential streets. The arrangement is presented in a light cream or soft beige wicker basket, the weave fine and tidy, with a matching handle arching gracefully over the flowers, framing them like a protective embrace. Inside, the design is lush and carefully structured. Large, creamy white roses open fully at the center, their layered petals forming soft bowls of light that draw the eye and suggest innocence, remembrance, and enduring love. Alternating among them are star-like clematis blooms, their pale lavender and soft periwinkle petals radiating from bright yellow-green centers, adding a cool, airy elegance. Smaller trumpet-shaped white and pale yellow blossoms, reminiscent of freesia or delicate spring flowers, are tucked thoughtfully between the larger blooms, some still in bud, hinting at life continuing beyond loss. Deep green foliage outlines the arrangement, from broad glossy leaves to finer, lighter sprigs, creating texture and framing the pastel tones with a rich, natural contrast. The composition feels balanced and soothing, neither overly formal nor casual, just right for expressing sympathy, honouring a life at a funeral service, or sending condolences to a home near Finsbury Park or along Seven Sisters Road. Every element appears chosen with care, as though a skilled Manor House florist had listened closely to a family's story and translated it into a basket of flowers that speaks in whispers rather than shouts.
PEACE & PURITY BASKET
£65.00
A softly lit funeral basket arrangement rests alone against a clean white backdrop, its colours restrained yet deeply expressive. The basket itself is crafted from pale, natural wood, slightly oval with low sides, perched on four tiny feet and crowned by a tall, curved handle that arches gently overhead. From this simple base rises a lush, rounded mound of flowers, carefully composed so that no single bloom overwhelms the others. Creamy white roses sit prominently near the top, their layered petals fully open, creating a sense of calm and serenity, like a quiet pause during a service at a Manor House chapel. Around them, deep red carnations cluster closely, their rich, velvety petals frilled and abundant, offering a more intense note of love and remembrance. Interspersed throughout are pale pink and bi-coloured carnations, some with white centres and rose-pink or red edges, softening the contrast and introducing a gentle, almost whispering tone. Small, delicate white blossoms, similar to freesias with their slender stems and open bells, thread through the design, adding brightness and a sense of breath between the fuller flowers. The greenery is generous: broad, glossy leaves provide structure at the base, while fine, feathery foliage lifts the eye upwards and outwards, so the arrangement seems to overflow the confines of the basket. Everything appears fresh and carefully placed, as if by a local Manor House florist familiar with creating tributes for funerals and wakes nearby. The overall impression is one of dignified beauty and quiet support, suitable for offering condolences or accompanying a final farewell.
REMEMBRANCE BASKET
£60.00
A round, generously packed bouquet is shown against a crisp white background, its colours and forms glowing as if lit by gentle daylight through a Manor House bay window. The flowers gather into a perfect dome, with no gaps, just layers of petals, berries, and foliage creating a rich tapestry of texture. Soft pink, buttery yellow, and creamy peach garden roses form the core, their petals spiralling outward in lush, romantic swirls. Some blooms are wide open and ruffled, while others stay partially closed, giving the arrangement a sense of movement, like a garden along Green Lanes caught between bud and full bloom. Among them, graceful clematis flowers stretch out slender petals in pale lavender and white, each blossom centred by a sunburst of yellow stamens that adds a touch of airy charm. Blue eryngium, or sea holly, rises up in small clusters, their spiky, thistle-like heads a striking metallic blue-grey that breaks the softness with bold structure. Nestled between the roses are deep purple lisianthus, some still tight and rounded, others gently unfurling, their velvety petals adding a hint of evening richness. Bright red hypericum berries pop like tiny lanterns, glossy and smooth, bringing cheerful contrast to the cooler tones. The bouquet is wrapped in a lush collar of green foliage: broad, polished leaves support the base, while finer, feathery greens and touches of dark, wine-toned foliage weave in and out, giving depth and a natural, garden-fresh feel. This expertly composed arrangement evokes a sense of quiet celebration, perfectly suited to birthdays, anniversaries, or a warm thank-you gesture sent from Manor House to surrounding neighbourhoods.
ETERNAL MEMORY POSY
£100.00
Imagine holding a perfectly round bouquet that balances drama and softness - broad, creamy-white oriental lilies take centre stage, each trumpet-shaped bloom unfurling with a satiny sheen and pale green stamens that add a whisper of colour to the otherwise monochrome palette. Interlaced among these lilies are numerous ivory roses, many still in tight bud form or gently opening, their velvety layers lending plush depth and a tactile richness you can almost feel through the image. Sprigs of delicate white Baby's Breath (Gypsophila) float between the larger flowers, creating a cloud-like texture that lightens the composition and fills negative space with airy intricacy. Around the perimeter, small bright green leaves peek out - a modest, fresh contrast that frames the dome shape and keeps the overall look crisp. The photographer's top-down view and clear white background emphasise the bouquet's symmetry and the subtle interplay of cream and snow-white tones. As a local floral designer who arranges for weddings, christenings and quiet moments across Manor House and nearby Newington Green, I recognise the bouquet's suitability for a bride seeking classic purity, for a pared-back reception centrepiece, or as a heartfelt gift to celebrate new beginnings. There is a quiet scent suggested here - sweet lilies softened by the heady, powdery perfume of roses - and an impression of careful hand-tying and professional floristry. This is the kind of bouquet our customers request when they want something traditional, immaculate and quietly expressive; Manor House Florist styles a similar hand-tied arrangement for same-day delivery across the neighbourhood when needed.
COMPASSION POSY
£90.00
A full, rounded bouquet of fresh flowers is photographed against a pure white background, its colours and textures standing out with striking clarity, much like a showpiece on display in a Manor House shop window. Dominating the design are large white lilies, their trumpet-shaped blooms opening in various stages so you can almost sense the slow unfurling of each petal, from green-tipped buds to broad, star-like flowers revealing soft yellow and green centres. Between these elegant lilies, clusters of roses in gentle blush pink and creamy white form a plush, velvety cushion, each bloom layered with petals that suggest tenderness and devotion. At the core of the bouquet, several vivid fuchsia or magenta Oriental lilies, reminiscent of Stargazer lilies, command attention with their rich, speckled petals and bright golden stamens, bringing a burst of dramatic colour that feels celebratory. Tiny sprays of white baby's breath are threaded throughout, their hundreds of miniature blossoms creating a fine, cloud-like veil that lightens the overall look and adds a dreamy, romantic quality. Slim strands of green foliage and lily leaves emerge at the edges, offering a fresh frame that hints at stems just trimmed in a local Manor House studio before same-day delivery across surrounding streets and estates. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the glossy sheen of lily petals, the satin softness of the roses, and the intricate contrast between bold blooms and delicate fillers. The bouquet radiates warmth and joy, perfectly suited to special birthdays, engagement celebrations, or as an uplifting gesture for families and friends living around Green Lanes and the wider Manor House area.
CHERISHED MOMENTS POSY
£90.00
I picture this arrangement as an early-morning offering from a neighbourhood florist: compact, domed, and whisperingly elegant with pale pink roses and crisp white freesias arranged against a pristine white field. The larger, classic roses anchor the design-each bloom showing layered, velvety petals that graduate from soft blush to a warmer pink at the heart-while smaller spray roses and tiny white blooms nestle close to create a plush, continuous surface. Bright, tubular freesia clusters rise like little trumpets through the rose canopy; some blossoms are fully open, revealing faintly yellow stamens and a subtle, honeyed scent imagined in the still air, while others remain as tight, optimistic buds. The greenery is rich and varied: deep, glossy leaves provide weight and shape, while cream-edged variegated foliage brightens the composition and adds refined punctuation. No stems are visible; the effect is one of an expertly groomed cushion of flowers, densely packed and immaculately finished. Soft daylight sculpts the petals, bringing out textures from satin to crepe and lending the palette a calm, luminous quality. This piece reads as both comforting and celebratory-a dignified sympathy tribute for a service, a tender memorial arrangement, or a soothing bedside bouquet for someone recovering at home. As a local floral design, it would travel well across Manor House, Green Lanes, and Seven Sisters Road, arriving fresh and steady, accompanied by the understated perfume of freesia and the reassuring presence of traditional roses.
