BUTTONHOLES
Set against a gently woven, light beige linen cloth, this elegant boutonniere looks as if it has been placed there with great care, ready for a wedding morning in Whitechapel. Two white lisianthus flowers form the heart of the design, their petals luxuriously ruffled and traced with a deep, saturated purple that curls along each edge like ink on parchment. The bi-colour effect gives the blooms a sense of depth and movement, as if they are softly swirling in the stillness of the frame. Nestled between and around them, small clusters of pristine white filler flowers-like tiny cushions of baby's breath-bring airy volume and a delicate, almost mist-like texture. Rising confidently from one side is a slim spike of muscari-style flowers, each miniature bell a deep lavender-blue, stacked tightly together to create a sculptural, almost beaded line of colour. Just beneath, a pair of pale green buds rests quietly, suggesting future blossoms and adding a gentle note of freshness and youth. Fine, feathered foliage arcs around the composition, its slender green fronds creating little shadows and a feeling of soft movement, while broader leaves at the base give stability and structure. The stems are gathered into a compact bundle and wrapped in a band of smooth white satin ribbon, snugly secured so that the cut ends disappear beneath the fabric. The overall effect is polished yet romantic, perfectly suited for a groom or prom guest stepping out near Whitechapel Station, ready for photographs and heartfelt vows. The image conveys both craftsmanship and emotion, as though you can almost feel the cool ribbon between your fingers and catch the faint, green scent of fresh stems on a special day.
LILIUM & LISIANTHUS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
A finely crafted boutonniere rests on a pale beige, linen-like fabric, its gentle weave providing a calm, understated backdrop that lets every petal and ribbon strand stand out. At the heart of the design sits a small cluster of soft pink, multi-layered blooms, reminiscent of miniature stocks or ruffled garden flowers, their petals unfolding in subtle gradients from blush to a more saturated rose at the centre. Interlaced among them are airy sprigs of white baby's breath, each tiny floret forming a cloud of texture that brings to mind the delicate mist of early morning across nearby Whitechapel Gardens. Tiny touches of lavender and deeper purple flowers slip between the pinks and whites, lending a refined contrast that suggests elegance rather than drama. Along one side, several elongated buds in shades of creamy white and pale green, similar to young freesia or slender lily buds, tilt outward, as if caught just before opening, adding a sense of movement and anticipation to the composition. The blooms are framed by lush, glossy green leaves that provide structure and richness, while finer, grass-like fronds of greenery extend softly beyond the main shape, giving the piece a natural, slightly untamed edge. The stems are gathered neatly and wrapped in a striking fuchsia satin ribbon, tied into a crisp, symmetrical bow whose sheen catches the light, evoking a celebratory mood perfect for a Whitechapel town hall wedding, East End prom, or family celebration. The lighting is even and soft, revealing the freshness of each petal and leaf, and the overall design feels personal and hand-finished, the sort of detail a careful florist might prepare for a groom or guest on a special day in this vibrant London neighbourhood.
LISIANTHUS & ANEMONE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A single peach rose boutonniere rests serenely on a pale beige, linen-textured fabric, the fine weave running horizontally like soft lines on old Whitechapel brickwork. The rose itself is partially open, its petals forming a graceful spiral that shifts in colour from a light, creamy peach at the edges to a richer, warm apricot and soft orange closer to the heart, suggesting both freshness and warmth. To the upper side of the bloom, a delicate spray of white baby's breath stretches outward, its multitude of tiny, cloud-like flowers giving a feeling of airiness and romantic detail. Around and beneath the main flower, slender green blades of foliage and two darker, broader leaves fan out gently, providing structure and a vivid contrast that makes the peach tones appear almost luminous. The stems are gathered and wrapped in a smooth peach satin ribbon that closely matches the rose, the ribbon wound with precision and secured in a small, elegant knot or bow at the base. The piece is lit by soft, diffused light that reveals every subtle texture-the linen's faint slubs, the rose's velvety petals, the crispness of the foliage, and the satin's gentle sheen. This boutonniere feels designed for a thoughtful groom or prom guest heading out from a townhouse near Whitechapel Road or the bustling stalls of Whitechapel Market, carrying with them a quiet symbol of affection and celebration. The overall impression is of calm, refined romance, perfectly suited to modern city weddings and formal occasions where understatement is cherished.
ORANGE ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
On a canvas of softly woven, light beige linen fabric, a single white orchid boutonniere lies poised, as if waiting to be pinned to a lapel before a ceremony in one of Whitechapel's intimate wedding venues. The Phalaenopsis orchid at the centre appears almost luminous, its generous white petals unfurling with a calm, sculptural grace that suggests both purity and quiet confidence. Inside the flower's throat, a wash of pale yellow melds into subtle reddish-orange speckles, adding gentle warmth and depth to the otherwise cool white bloom. Surrounding the orchid, fine sprays of baby's breath drift like delicate mist, each tiny flower lending a soft, cloud-like texture that enhances the sense of romance. To one side, two lime-green chrysanthemum-style pom-pom buds stand out, their tightly packed, almost spiky petals giving the composition a crisp, contemporary twist, like a splash of fresh greenery glimpsed along nearby Vallance Road. A broad, glossy green leaf fans out beneath the orchid, with a smaller shadowy leaf nestled closer to the base, anchoring the design in natural, garden-inspired tones. The stems are expertly bound in a striking crimson red satin ribbon, wrapped snugly and finished in a small, confident knot that glows against the neutral background. The subtle weave of the linen, reminiscent of natural hessian or fine table linen at a Whitechapel reception, adds visual and tactile contrast without distracting from the flowers. This refined boutonniere evokes the mood of a modern yet timeless wedding, suitable for a groom, best man, or cherished guest stepping out onto the streets near Whitechapel Station, ready for a day of celebration and shared memories.
ORCHID & CHRYSANTHEMUMS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
A delicately composed boutonniere is captured from above, resting on a pale oatmeal-toned fabric that resembles finely woven linen, the neutral background allowing every floral detail to stand out as clearly as if you were holding it in your hand. At the centre, a flawless white Phalaenopsis orchid unfolds its broad, velvety petals, each one thick yet smooth, giving a sense of quiet luxury and calm. The orchid's throat glows with subtle creamy yellow and soft orange tones, like a faint sunrise nestled at the heart of the bloom, adding a gentle warmth that breaks the cool purity of the white. Encircling this main flower, airy clusters of tiny white baby's breath blossoms create a cloudlike fringe, their minute star-shaped petals catching the light and adding a feathery, romantic softness. Deep green leaves, some wide and spear-shaped, others slim and elongated, weave through the design, grounding the arrangement with a natural, freshly picked character. To one side, a tight cluster of glossy, cherry-red berries sits like a bright exclamation mark, their rounded forms shining against the matte petals and foliage, while a sprinkling of pale green buds suggests newness and early season hedgerows around Whitechapel's quieter streets. At the base, all the stems are drawn together and wrapped in a rich red satin ribbon, the fabric folded with precision and tied into a neat, compact knot whose short ends lie smoothly against the background. The result is an elegant, slightly festive buttonhole that feels perfectly suited to weddings at local venues near Aldgate East, intimate civil ceremonies, or smart winter celebrations, as if thoughtfully prepared by a meticulous florist who knows how to balance romance, tradition, and East London charm.
ORCHID & HYPERICUM GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
Set against a calm, light beige linen backdrop, this blush pink rose boutonniere appears as if it has been placed on a pressed jacket sleeve in a Whitechapel townhouse, moments before a ceremony. The photograph is taken from a slightly overhead viewpoint, letting every nuanced detail be appreciated. At its centre, a semi-open rose in soft blush tones unfurls, the innermost petals a gentle pastel pink that gradually intensifies to a more vivid, romantic hue at the edges, creating a velvety spiral that suggests both youth and tenderness. Around the base of the rose, clusters of creamy white baby's breath form delicate halos, their tiny, cloud-like blossoms adding airiness and a traditional bridal touch, reminiscent of classic weddings around Tower Hamlets Registry Office or intimate celebrations near Brick Lane. Slender, wispy strands of grass-like emerald foliage extend from behind the bloom, fanning out with an almost calligraphic elegance, while one broader, deep green leaf is expertly folded to form a smooth, structured collar that hugs the stems. The binding is a highlight of quiet luxury: a two-toned satin ribbon in lavender-pink and rich magenta-purple, wrapped neatly and tied in a compact knot, with just enough sheen to catch the soft, natural light. The light falls gently across the boutonniere and the woven fabric beneath, emphasising texture without harsh shadows, and giving the impression of calm preparation before a joyful event. The overall mood is one of modern romance with a classic twist, perfectly suited to a groom's lapel, a prom suit, or a special guest outfit for an elegant evening reception in and around Whitechapel and the nearby City.
PURPLE ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A finely crafted boutonniere rests on a pale beige, textured cloth, the weave of the fabric creating a soft, neutral backdrop similar to the table linens often seen in intimate venues around Whitechapel. Centered within this small floral sculpture is a bold fuchsia pink rose, its petals densely packed at the core and gently opening outward, displaying a velvety surface that seems almost touchable. The rose feels fresh and full of life, as if it has just been prepared by an attentive florist minutes before a ceremony. Surrounding this central bloom are airy clusters of white baby's breath, like tiny stars sprinkled in a small constellation, their delicate stems and fine petals adding an ethereal, cloud-like halo. Punctuating the whiteness are bright red hypericum berries, smooth and glossy, grouped in small clusters that bring a festive, almost berry-jewel accent to the design. Slender strands of fine, feathery greenery extend from either side, adding movement and a sense of natural ease, while deeper green leaves are folded and curled to give shape and support, framing the rose as if in a miniature bouquet. The stems at the base are tightly wrapped in a rich red satin ribbon, its sheen catching the light and its neat finish suggesting care and craftsmanship, ideal for comfortable wear on a lapel. Viewed from above, the composition reveals a harmonious balance of colour and texture-pink, white, red, and green set against soft beige-evoking romance, joy, and quiet sophistication. It's the kind of buttonhole a groom or guest might wear while walking from a Whitechapel townhouse to a nearby registry office, carrying a sense of celebration in this small, elegant detail.
RED ROSE & HYPERICUM GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A meticulously crafted boutonnière rests on a pale, linen-like fabric in soft beige, the gentle weave of the background creating a calm, tactile canvas that allows every element of the design to shine. At the centre sits a single rosebud in a rich, saturated shade of fuchsia pink, the petals smooth and tightly wrapped, forming a compact, elegant bud with just a hint of unfolding at the edges. Surrounding this focal bloom are tiny clusters of white baby's breath, each miniature blossom forming a cloud-like halo that softens the strong colour of the rose and adds a sense of lightness and air. Slender strands of bright green, grass-like foliage and fine, feathery fronds curve gracefully outward from behind the flowers, giving the arrangement a sense of movement, as if stirred by a gentle breeze coming off nearby Altab Ali Park. Slightly broader, darker green leaves near the base provide subtle structure, anchoring the delicate textures above. The stems are all drawn together and wrapped in a narrow stripe of red satin ribbon, the fabric smooth and gleaming, carefully wound to create a polished, seamless finish with a tiny bow or loop at the end. The lighting is clear and bright, revealing the natural sheen on the rose petals and the crisp whiteness of the baby's breath, so you can almost imagine the fresh, cool feel of the flowers in your hand. This buttonhole evokes a sense of romantic anticipation, as if it has just been prepared in a local Whitechapel workshop for a groom walking towards a ceremony near Aldgate East or a prom guest setting off through the evening streets, dressed with understated, heartfelt elegance.
RED ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
Whitechapel's vibrant spirit is reflected in this delicate boutonniere, artfully arranged upon a textured neutral linen that catches the shifting daylight. At its core, a bashful pale pink rose remains tightly furled, echoing the excitement of a wedding morning or prom night in the heart of this multicultural community. Alongside, a gentle cascade of blush or apricot-hued petals unfolds from a nearby alstroemeria, its golden-yellow centre scattered with natural markings-details reminiscent of murals and artistry seen throughout Brick Lane and the lanes around Spitalfields. Baby's breath interspersed among the flowers calls to mind the soft haze of early morning mist settling over Altab Ali Park, while miniature green chrysanthemums add vibrant punctuation to the design. Encasing the blooms, an array of greenery-fine, feathery fronds arching heavenward and wider, sculpted leaves layered at the base-grounds the arrangement with elegance. The stems, expertly aligned, are gathered and wrapped in a fuchsia-bright satin ribbon, the bow gleaming in the warm light, offering a final touch that conveys festive assurance. Perfect for wedding suits, formal occasions, or intimate events, this boutonniere translates the diverse, artistic energy of Whitechapel into a timeless floral gesture, embodying both heartfelt welcome and inspired design.
ROSE & ALSTROEMERIA GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£99.00
A finely detailed floral boutonniere lies on a pale beige, linen-like fabric, its natural texture forming a calm, understated stage reminiscent of a carefully laid suit on a hanger in a Whitechapel flat before a big event. At the centre, a white alstroemeria blossom opens gracefully, its petals smooth yet gently ruffled at the edges, the inner surfaces flecked with fine reddish-brown markings that draw the eye toward the soft green throat and delicate stamens. Alongside this focal bloom, a striking cluster of bright lime-green buds rises in a narrow, conical spike, each tiny bud tightly layered to create a sculptural, almost architectural column of freshness. Threaded through the design are sprigs of white baby's breath, their minute, cotton-soft flowers creating an airy halo that lightens the overall look, like a faint mist drifting over nearby Altab Ali Park on an early spring morning. The foliage beneath is rich and contrasting: broader, darker green leaves offer a sturdy base, while slender, grass-like strands sweep outwards and upwards, adding a sense of movement and a quiet, natural grace. At one side, the stems are neatly bound with a bright, glossy pink satin ribbon, fashioned into a small, perfect bow that adds a cheerful note of celebration and a gentle romantic flair. The lighting is even and soft, revealing every nuance of petal texture and leaf vein without harsh shadow, so the boutonniere feels fresh, composed, and thoughtfully crafted, ideal for a groom, prom guest, or proud parent heading out from Whitechapel towards a ceremony in the City or along the River Thames.
WHITE ALSTROEMERIA GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A single, pristine white lisianthus bloom takes centre stage in this carefully composed boutonnière, resting at a gentle diagonal on a light beige, linen-like fabric that recalls the calm, neutral backdrops of stylish registry offices around Whitechapel. The main flower is fully open, its many soft, ruffled petals curling outward in generous layers, creating a rounded, almost sculpted form that seems to glow with a quiet, bridal radiance. Just beneath and to the left of this focal bloom, two creamy pale green lisianthus buds nestle close, their elongated shapes suggesting flowers on the verge of opening, a tender symbol of new beginnings for a wedding at a local venue near Whitechapel High Street or along Commercial Road. Threaded through the arrangement are delicate clusters of white baby's breath, each tiny bloom adding texture and a sense of light, as if the boutonnière were dusted with a fine floral mist. Elegant strands of slender, grass-like greenery sweep outward toward the lower left corner, introducing gentle movement, while a single broader dark green leaf sits quietly behind the white flower, offering depth and a natural frame. The gathered stems are neatly wrapped with a bright fuchsia satin ribbon, tied into a small, jaunty bow whose smooth shine and vivid pink hue deliver a burst of cheerful colour against the calm neutrals and cool whites. Soft, even lighting emphasizes every petal edge, the weave of the fabric, and the satin's subtle gleam, capturing the sense of a freshly made, bespoke accessory ready to be pinned to a groom's lapel for a Whitechapel wedding or formal celebration nearby in Spitalfields or Shadwell.
WHITE LISIANTHUS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A refined orchid boutonniere is displayed lying horizontally on a pale beige, linen-textured fabric, the woven background giving a quiet, tactile softness much like the calm corners just off Whitechapel High Street. At the heart of the design is a single white Phalaenopsis orchid, its wide, smooth petals unfolding with sculptural grace. The centre of the bloom reveals intricate detail: a gentle wash of soft yellow and hints of the palest pink along the throat, adding warmth and depth to the otherwise pure white flower. Encircling the base of the orchid, delicate sprays of baby's breath cluster in small, cloud-like tufts, creating a dreamy halo of tiny white blossoms that soften the silhouette and add a sense of lightness. A few slender, vivid green leaves emerge subtly from behind, their fresh colour offering a natural contrast to the white petals and pale background. To one side, several unopened, lime-green orchid buds sit close to the main bloom, symbolising growth and new chapters, much like couples beginning their story near the galleries and converted warehouses around Whitechapel. The stems of the flowers and foliage are tightly gathered and wrapped in a lustrous fuchsia pink satin ribbon, finished in a neat bow whose short tails rest gracefully against the fabric. The ribbon's glossy sheen introduces a cheerful, celebratory accent, ideal for a wedding, civil ceremony, or smart evening event. Soft, even lighting enhances the freshness of the petals, the tiny globes of Gypsophila, and the gentle sheen of satin, resulting in a boutonniere that feels both timeless and personally crafted for a special day.
WHITE ORCHID GROOM BOUTONNIERE
£85.00
A meticulously crafted white orchid boutonniere lies on a softly lit, light beige fabric with a distinct woven texture, like fine linen you might find in a restored Whitechapel loft overlooking Whitechapel Road. At its centre, a single Phalaenopsis orchid bloom takes pride of place, its flawless white petals spreading gracefully with a faint gloss that catches the gentle light. Within the heart of the orchid, subtle tones of pale yellow add a quiet hint of warmth, creating a delicate focal point. Surrounding this central blossom is a halo of baby's breath, each tiny white Gypsophila flower contributing to a soft, cloud-like ring that makes the orchid seem to float. Wisps of slender, vibrant green foliage, similar to maidenhair or asparagus fern, emerge from beneath the blooms, threading lightly through the composition and bringing a fresh, garden-like energy. The stems are expertly gathered and wrapped in a smooth white satin ribbon, finished with a small, neat bow that speaks to the care and precision of an experienced florist. Against the neutral, oatmeal-toned background, the crisp whites and fresh greens appear especially vivid, emphasizing the boutonniere's refined simplicity. The overall impression is one of classic, modern elegance-ideal for a groom's lapel at a chic city wedding near Aldgate East or a formal event held in one of Whitechapel's converted warehouses. Imagined through touch and scent, this piece feels cool and silky at the orchid's surface, airy and delicate in the baby's breath, and softly herbal where the greenery rests, capturing a quiet but confident celebration of love and commitment.
WHITE ORCHID GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
A refined wedding boutonniere is displayed on a pale beige, linen-like fabric, angled gently as though it has just been set down on a dressing table in a Whitechapel townhouse before the ceremony. The focal point is a single ivory rosebud, its petals smooth, velvety, and still partially closed, holding that sense of newness and anticipation. Surrounding the rose are clusters of airy white baby's breath, each tiny bloom resembling a dusting of soft snow, adding a light, romantic halo around the central flower. Tucked behind and to the sides, narrow, glossy green leaves and a few feathery fronds of foliage lend depth, their rich, natural tones echoing the greenery of local pocket parks and hidden gardens off Vallance Road. The stems are carefully aligned and wrapped in a band of white satin ribbon, finished with a petite, neatly tied bow that sits just under the head of the rose, giving the piece a polished, bespoke look. Gentle, diffused light falls across the boutonniere, highlighting the weave of the fabric and the fine edges of each petal, making the arrangement appear soft yet crisp at the same time. This understated design feels ideal for grooms and groomsmen walking from a Whitechapel flat to a nearby ceremony, evoking the quiet intimacy of a London wedding morning and the careful, personal touch a local florist brings to each handcrafted lapel flower.
