BUTTONHOLES
On a backdrop of softly woven, light beige linen, a single boutonniere lies ready, as if waiting for the gentle moment before it is pinned to a lapel. At its centre, two lisianthus blooms unfurl in creamy white, their ruffled petals carefully traced with a deep, velvety purple that feels both romantic and composed. Nestled close to these focal flowers are airy clusters of tiny white blossoms, reminiscent of baby's breath, filling the spaces with a mist of softness that tempers the richer tones. Rising through the arrangement is a slender stem of muscari, each tiny bell-shaped flower a saturated blue-violet, adding a vertical rhythm and a hint of woodland charm, like something gathered from a quiet corner of a garden near the new parklands of Nine Elms. Two pale green buds lean gently from the side, still closed, their smooth surfaces contrasting with the frilled lisianthus edges and suggesting the story of a day just beginning. Wisps of feathery greenery, likely an asparagus fern or similar textural foliage, radiate outward in fine threads of fresh green, while a few broader leaves anchor the design and deepen the colour palette. At the base, the stems are tightly and cleanly wrapped in white satin ribbon, the fabric gleaming slightly under soft, even light, and tied in a discreet bow that speaks of careful, practiced hands-perhaps at a local studio just off Nine Elms Lane. The overall mood is one of quiet ceremony and intimate celebration, perfectly suited to a groom, groomsman, or prom guest seeking understated floral elegance in the heart of London.
LILIUM & LISIANTHUS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
A single floral boutonniere is carefully laid out on a pale, woven linen surface, the subtle beige tones of the fabric recalling the soft furnishings found in new Nine Elms riverside venues. The arrangement itself is a study in gentle romance: at its heart, several softly ruffled pink flowers, much like miniature stocks or small garden blooms, are clustered closely together, their petals overlapping in layers that move from a light blush at the edges to a slightly warmer pink inside. Nestled around them, countless tiny white baby's breath blossoms create a floating halo, adding both texture and a light, cloudlike softness that feels timeless and classic. Sprinkled among the pink and white are sparse sprigs of tiny lavender or deep violet florets, offering a refined contrast that stops the palette from feeling too sweet, much like the balance we aim for in bridal work at Nine Elms Florist. On one side, several elongated buds in creamy white and pale green, reminiscent of freesia, stretch outward as if reaching towards the left edge of the frame, their smooth, closed forms suggesting fragrance yet to be released. The entire composition is supported by a bed of broad, rich green leaves, their surface slightly glossy and structured, while fine, feathery greenery spills beyond the main outline, lending an effortless, garden-grown charm. The stems are tightly gathered and wrapped with a bold fuchsia satin ribbon, the bow tied with precision so that the loops are even and the tails fall gracefully. Under the soft, even lighting, every petal, leaf, and fibre of the fabric is visible, making this boutonniere feel like a cherished finishing touch for a wedding, prom, or graduation celebration anywhere from the American Embassy district of Nine Elms to nearby riverside restaurants.
LISIANTHUS & ANEMONE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A single peach rose boutonniere is displayed in serene detail on a pale beige, linen-textured cloth, evoking the calm elegance of a carefully planned Nine Elms wedding morning. The rose itself is the star: partially unfurled, its petals shift from a soft, creamy apricot along the outer edges into a richer, warm peach and muted orange in the center, like the first light touching the Thames near Vauxhall. Around this central bloom, tiny heads of white gypsophila cluster delicately at the upper right, their miniature blossoms forming an airy, almost cloudlike ring that softens the rose's sculpted curves. Fine, grass-like green sprigs and a pair of broader, dark green leaves emerge from beneath the bloom, adding freshness and depth, the glossy foliage gently curved as though cupping the flower. The stems are bound with a smooth peach satin ribbon that mirrors the rose's tones, wrapped in tidy, even turns and finished with a small, precise bow that speaks of practiced florist craftsmanship. The boutonniere rests quietly against the subtle weave of the fabric, which adds texture without pulling focus, while gentle, even lighting highlights the velvety surface of each petal and the crisp white of the baby's breath. The mood is intimate and romantic, perfectly suited for a groom, best man, or prom guest seeking a refined floral accent for events across Nine Elms, from stylish venue spaces near Embassy Gardens to more relaxed gatherings in local restaurants and riverside hotels, where such a detail becomes a cherished part of the celebration.
ORANGE ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
Laid out against a pale beige, linen-like cloth that recalls the relaxed textures of riverside cafés in Nine Elms, this refined boutonniere is captured in soft, even light, as if resting on a groom's suit pocket just before he walks to the ceremony. At its centre, a single white Phalaenopsis orchid unfolds with quiet drama, its velvety petals broad and serene, forming a gentle oval around a finely detailed throat where creamy yellow tones fade into delicate reddish-orange specks. Around this focal bloom, airy sprigs of white baby's breath create a mist of tiny blossoms, their fragile stems and pin-prick flowers giving the arrangement an almost weightless feel, like breath on a cool morning along the Thames Path. To the left side, two compact lime-green chrysanthemum pom-poms, tightly packed and slightly spiky in texture, inject a burst of contemporary colour that plays beautifully against the classic white and cream. A rich, curved green leaf forms a quiet backdrop beneath the orchid, its smooth surface and deep hue adding structure, while another smaller, darker leaf near the base subtly reinforces the natural layering. The stems are wrapped with care in a vivid crimson ribbon, the satin finish catching the light with a understated sheen, and tied off into a neat knot that adds a confident, celebratory accent. Every line and surface is clearly visible: the weave of the fabric, the delicate veins in the leaves, the gentle shadows that model each petal. The boutonniere feels intimate and personal, ideal for a wedding near the new Nine Elms developments or a formal event in nearby Vauxhall, where a simple, exquisitely made floral piece says as much as any speech.
ORCHID & CHRYSANTHEMUMS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
A meticulously crafted floral buttonhole lies centred on a pale beige, woven fabric backdrop, its subtle texture reminiscent of natural linen often seen in stylish Nine Elms event spaces. Dominating the arrangement is a single white Phalaenopsis orchid flower, immaculate and serene, its wide, rounded petals opening like porcelain wings. The orchid's throat glows with a gentle blend of cream, yellow, and soft orange, drawing the eye inward and adding depth to its otherwise cool, white presence. Surrounding this focal bloom is a halo of feathery white baby's breath, each tiny blossom forming airy clusters that soften the silhouette and lend a romantic, cloud-like quality. To one side nestles a vivid grouping of glossy red berries, their rich, cherry and crimson tones evoking winter celebrations and festive city evenings along the Thames. Interspersed among them are smaller, fresh green berry buds that hint at new growth and keep the palette from feeling too formal. A scattering of lush green leaves - some broad and pointed, others slim and gently curving - fans out from beneath the flowers, giving the design a natural, garden-picked character despite its precise construction. At the base, a strip of red satin ribbon is wound neatly around the stems and tied in a compact knot, the short ribbon tails lying flat and tidy, ready for easy pinning to a groom's or guest's jacket. The soft, even light reveals every texture and colour nuance, suggesting a handcrafted corsage prepared by an experienced local florist, ideal for weddings, proms, and celebrations across Nine Elms and the surrounding riverside neighbourhoods.
ORCHID & HYPERICUM GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
An elegant blush pink rose boutonniere rests on a pale beige, linen-like fabric, the gentle weave of the cloth forming a calm, neutral backdrop reminiscent of a carefully laid suit jacket waiting in a Nine Elms townhouse. The image is captured from a slightly overhead angle, allowing the viewer to take in the entire composition at once: a semi-open rose sits proudly at the centre, its velvety petals spiralling outwards from a soft, pastel heart to edges tinged with a slightly deeper, romantic pink. The bloom appears fresh and dewy, the kind of rose that might have been chosen in the early morning at a London flower market before being carried back along the river walks towards Nine Elms. Encircling the rose, tiny sprays of white baby's breath form a light, airy collar, each miniature flower adding texture and a sense of delicacy without overwhelming the central bloom. Slender, grass-like strands of vivid green foliage extend gracefully from behind the rose, their fine lines suggesting movement and breathing space, while a single, broader dark green leaf is artfully folded and wrapped around the lower portion, giving the boutonniere a polished, tailored finish akin to a well-fitted suit. The base of the stems is meticulously wrapped in satin ribbon, combining tones of soft lavender and rich magenta-purple, the smooth, lustrous fabric catching the light with a subtle sheen. The ribbon is secured in a neat knot, with no fussy bow, which lends the piece a quietly sophisticated, modern character well suited to weddings and proms around Nine Elms, Battersea, and nearby riverside venues. Soft, diffused lighting falls from one side, creating gentle shadows that emphasise the curve of each petal and the fine texture of the linen backdrop, giving the boutonniere a three-dimensional presence as though you could reach out and pin it to a lapel. The overall effect is one of intimate romance and thoughtful craftsmanship, a small but meaningful floral accent created to mark a day of love and celebration.
PURPLE ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A romantic boutonniere rests on a pale beige, linen-like fabric, its subtle, woven texture reminiscent of the calm, neutral interiors of riverside homes in Nine Elms. At the centre, a deep fuchsia pink rose draws the eye, its petals plush and velvety, spiralling tightly at the core and gradually unfurling into a full, rounded bloom that seems to hold the quiet anticipation of a wedding ceremony. Surrounding the rose, airy sprays of white baby's breath create a soft ring of lightness, their tiny blossoms catching hints of shadow and glow, like distant city lights along the Thames at dusk. Scattered between these white clusters are small, shiny red hypericum berries, rich and jewel-like, bringing a festive accent that suggests winter weddings, Christmas parties, or joyful formal gatherings. Delicate, feathery fronds of greenery reach outward, giving the design a gentle, organic movement, while broader, darker green leaves curl protectively around the base of the rose, adding depth, contrast, and a sense of natural architecture. The stems are carefully bound in smooth red satin ribbon, wrapped snugly and tied in a modest, perfectly centred bow, its sheen catching the soft overhead light. Photographed from a slightly raised angle, every nuance of colour and texture is clear: the interplay of pink, white, red, and green, the crisp edges of leaves, the softness of petals, and the expert balance achieved by the florist. This small floral piece feels ready to be pinned to a lapel for a wedding near Battersea Power Station, a prom in central London, or any special event where a touch of handcrafted elegance and local charm from Nine Elms is cherished.
RED ROSE & HYPERICUM GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A delicately crafted boutonnière is displayed on a pale beige, linen-textured cloth, the subtle weave and warm tone of the fabric providing a calm, unobtrusive stage for the flowers. At the centre, a single rosebud in a lush shade of deep crimson-leaning fuchsia red is tightly furled, its velvety petals drawing the eye with their depth of colour and promise of full bloom. Nestled around this rose are airy clusters of tiny white baby's breath, each little blossom adding a frothy softness that contrasts beautifully with the smooth, structured rose petals. Fine, grass-like green foliage and wispy fern-style sprigs stretch outward from behind the bloom, their bright green tips giving the whole piece a fresh, garden-picked feel, as if it were assembled just moments ago in a small floral studio off Nine Elms Lane. A few broader, darker green leaves tuck in closer to the stem, creating a strong visual base that anchors the design. The stems themselves are gathered neatly and wrapped with a rich red satin ribbon, the material coiled firmly and evenly so that the binding feels both secure and refined. A small loop or subtle bow detail at the bottom adds a final touch of craftsmanship, catching the light with a gentle shine. Illuminated by clear, bright lighting that highlights each petal edge, leaf vein, and ribbon fold, this boutonnière evokes the quiet excitement of a wedding morning or prom night in Nine Elms-perfect for a groom, usher, or guest wanting a classic yet contemporary floral accent on their lapel.
RED ROSE GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
Exuding quiet sophistication, this bespoke floral boutonniere rests upon a textured off-white linen, recalling the refined simplicity of gatherings in the heart of Nine Elms. The central pastel pink rose-its petals still tightly spiralled and glistening with morning freshness-anchors the design with an air of graceful anticipation. Beside it, a open-faced Alstroemeria or similar blossom in blush and peach hues glows with subtle yellow and flecks of burgundy, echoing the soft sunrise over Battersea Park. Clusters of dreamy white baby's breath intermingle with plush green, ball-shaped miniature mums, forming a textured tapestry reminiscent of the well-kept community gardens surrounding the area. Cascading sprigs of deep green, fern-like foliage stretch upward and outward, providing movement, while broader, glossy leaves cradle the blooms and form a sturdy framework. At the stems, a luxurious fuchsia satin ribbon is tied in a neat bow-its bold magenta radiance embodying both celebration and spirited individuality so common at local weddings and milestone events. The natural weave of the background adds tactile interest, silhouetting the vibrant florals and allowing each detail to stand apart. Meticulously crafted by a local expert, this boutonniere is an ideal flourish for a groom or guest, a wearable tribute to romance, celebration, and the evolving character of Nine Elms. The arrangement exudes freshness and refinement, perfect for occasions near the riverside or intimate venues throughout the neighbourhood.
ROSE & ALSTROEMERIA GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£99.00
An exquisitely composed floral boutonniere is laid out on a pale beige, linen-like fabric that has just enough texture to give warmth without distracting from the flowers. Center stage is a pristine white alstroemeria, its open bloom revealing wide petals with a soft satin sheen and fine reddish-brown streaks radiating from the throat, like delicate brushstrokes on porcelain. The central stamens are clearly visible, tipped with subtle grains of pollen that hint at the flower's gentle, green-fresh scent. Nestled beside it is a vivid lime-green bud cluster, reminiscent of an Ornithogalum spike, its tightly layered buds forming a tapered, conical shape that adds structure and visual interest. Scattered throughout the design are sprigs of classic white baby's breath, their tiny rounded blossoms creating a cloud-like halo around the main flower, softening the edges and adding an almost ethereal lightness. Supporting foliage in deep, glossy green forms a compact base, with broad, pointed leaves giving stability while slender, grass-fine strands arc outward in a graceful, informal rhythm. On the right side, the gathered stems are finished with a smooth, bright pink satin ribbon, tied into a neat, miniature bow that injects a charming touch of colour and romance, suggesting celebrations, first dances, and photographs taken by the riverside paths of Nine Elms. The lighting is calm and even, revealing the crispness of each petal and the freshness of the greenery, as if this piece has just been prepared by a skilled local florist ready for same-day delivery to a wedding party or prom couple in the surrounding SW8 streets.
WHITE ALSTROEMERIA GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A single, fully opened white lisianthus bloom lies gracefully on a warm, oatmeal-toned fabric that recalls the textured upholstery of a cosy Nine Elms café chair, its petals unfurling in soft layers like ripples of silk. This central flower is positioned slightly off-centre to the right, creating a gentle asymmetry that feels modern yet timeless, perfect for a groom or best man walking from an apartment near Embassy Gardens to a ceremony by the river. Each petal of the eustoma is gently ruffled, with delicate curves that soften the edges of the blossom, the pure white colour catching the diffuse, natural-looking light falling from above. Nestled just to the left are two elongated eustoma buds, still tightly closed and tinted in creamy green tones, hinting at new beginnings and quiet anticipation. Around them, tiny stars of white gypsophila cluster in loose sprays, adding a gauzy, romantic veil that softens the transition between flower and foliage. Slim, grass-like leaves sweep outward towards the lower left, their dark green lines adding energy and direction to the composition, while a broader, velvety green leaf sits behind the main blossom, grounding the arrangement and giving it visual depth. At the base, the stems are carefully aligned and wrapped in a vibrant fuchsia satin ribbon that gleams with a subtle sheen. The bow is small but confident, its bright pink colour providing a joyous contrast to the understated whites and greens, rather like a colourful doorway glimpsed along the streets leading from Nine Elms to Vauxhall. The boutonnière is photographed from a slightly raised angle, so every tiny petal and leaf vein is visible, creating an intimate view of the craftsmanship. It feels freshly made for same-day collection or delivery around Nine Elms, ideal for weddings, proms, and black-tie events where a single, well-chosen flower can quietly express elegance and emotion.
WHITE LISIANTHUS GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£80.00
A refined orchid boutonniere rests horizontally on a softly textured, light beige linen backdrop, the neutral tone recalling the understated interiors of modern flats around Nine Elms. At the centre of the design is a single white Phalaenopsis orchid bloom, immaculate and open, its broad petals appearing almost porcelain in the gentle light. The heart of the flower carries a delicate wash of creamy yellow and a whisper of pale pink, drawing the eye inward to its intricate throat. Surrounding the orchid's base are clusters of tiny baby's breath, each floret a small sphere of white, together forming a mist-like halo that adds volume without overwhelming the simplicity of the main bloom. Slender, bright green leaves peek out from beneath the petals, creating a crisp contrast that suggests fresh, early-morning cutting. To one side, a narrow stem bears a couple of tightly closed, pale green orchid buds, their smooth surfaces and compact shape evoking quiet promise and the unfolding of the celebration ahead. The stems of the boutonniere are wrapped neatly with a vivid fuchsia satin ribbon, tied into a small, elegant bow whose glossy finish adds a modern, playful twist to the classic white-and-green palette. Light falls evenly over the scene, highlighting the satin's sheen, the soft grain of the linen, and the orchid's velvety texture. This floral piece feels perfect for a wedding at a chic venue overlooking the Thames, a prom in a local Nine Elms school hall, or an intimate anniversary dinner nearby, capturing a sense of graceful, contemporary romance that a local florist would thoughtfully create.
WHITE ORCHID GROOM BOUTONNIERE
£85.00
A refined white orchid boutonniere lies carefully placed on a pale beige, woven fabric surface, its understated elegance echoing the modern style often seen around the new developments in Nine Elms. The central focus is a flawless Phalaenopsis orchid bloom, its petals broad, smooth, and gently curved, forming a graceful, almost sculptural shape. The white petals carry a soft, velvety sheen, while the throat of the flower reveals a subtle hint of creamy yellow, suggesting freshness and vitality. Around this central orchid, fine clusters of white baby's breath gather like a delicate mist, each tiny Gypsophila bud creating a softly textured frame that lightens and softens the outline of the design. Threaded between these airy blossoms, wisps of slender green foliage, similar to light fern or maidenhair sprigs, emerge with a fresh, vivid green hue, bringing contrast and a touch of natural wildness to the composition. The stems of the orchid, baby's breath, and greenery are neatly aligned and bound together with a smooth white satin ribbon, wrapped tightly and finished with a small bow that adds a polished, handcrafted touch. Beneath the boutonniere, the woven beige fabric, reminiscent of linen or fine burlap, introduces a natural texture and gentle warmth, enhancing the crisp white and green tones without stealing focus. The lighting is soft and even, creating no harsh shadows, simply a calm glow that feels like the gentle daylight filtering into a Nine Elms apartment before a ceremony. This boutonniere captures a sense of quiet celebration, perfect for a groom, best man, or guest at a sleek city wedding, and showcases the thoughtful craftsmanship of a skilled local florist.
WHITE ORCHID GROOM BUTTONHOLE
£85.00
An elegant ivory rose boutonniere is displayed on a pale, woven fabric that resembles natural linen, the subtle crosshatched threads forming a calm, neutral canvas reminiscent of a thoughtfully laid-out dressing space in a Nine Elms riverside flat. At the centre of the image sits a single creamy white rosebud, its petals smooth, plump, and only just starting to unfold, hinting at the promise of a perfect wedding day. Encircling the rose are airy clusters of white baby's breath, each tiny bloom forming part of a delicate mist that softens the edges of the design, while lending a sense of lightness and romance. A few slender, deep green leaves and more feathery sprigs of foliage extend from behind the rose, their cool tones and varied textures giving the boutonniere dimension without overwhelming its simple, classic shape. The stems are tightly gathered and wrapped in a sleek band of white satin ribbon, applied with practiced precision and tied into a modest, symmetrical bow that sits just under the base of the flower, signalling careful workmanship by a professional florist. Soft, diffused light falls from one side, gently highlighting the contours of the rose, the tiny, star-like flowers of the gypsophila, and the faint sheen of the ribbon. The overall feel is of fresh, hand-prepared wedding flowers, perhaps ready to be collected from a local Nine Elms florist before a ceremony at a nearby registry office or riverside venue. It conveys a sense of calm anticipation, making this boutonniere an ideal visual for groom's attire, intimate city weddings, and refined formal occasions in this part of South West London.
