Each piece is made by an experienced local florist who understands how flowers behave through a busy celebration. From classic rose and gypsophila buttonholes to modern wildflower clusters, we carefully wire, tape, and finish every stem so it pins securely and photographs beautifully.

We regularly design buttonholes and matching bouquets for couples and families across:

  • Greenwich town centre and riverside venues
  • Blackheath village weddings and celebrations
  • Deptford and surrounding SE10/SE8 areas

Need last-minute finishing touches? Our same-day delivery service is available across Greenwich and nearby areas when you order online before 3 PM. We'll carefully pack your buttonholes to keep them fresh in transit and ready for your photographer.

As a trusted local florist, we're always happy to advise on colour palettes, flower choices, and how to coordinate buttonholes with bridal bouquets, corsages, and table flowers. Share your theme, venue, and outfits, and we'll design bespoke buttonholes that feel perfectly "you" and unmistakably Greenwich.

BUTTONHOLES
On a backdrop of pale beige linen, softly woven like a favourite tablecloth from a Greenwich riverside café, a single boutonnière rests, composed with the care of a bespoke piece of jewellery. Two luminous lisianthus blooms form the focal point, their white petals edged in an intense purple that pools and softens along each ruffled margin, suggesting both depth and movement. Nestled among them are tiny white filler flowers, reminiscent of baby's breath, adding a light, cloud-like texture that keeps the composition airy and romantic. Rising alongside is a vertical stem of muscari, its minute, bell-shaped flowers densely packed in a band of deep violet-blue, introducing a distinct, tactile contrast that you can almost feel under your fingertips. Close by, two pale green buds, still tightly furled, hint at new blossoms yet to open, mirroring the sense of anticipation that hangs in the air before a ceremony on the leafy streets near Greenwich Park or Blackheath. Slender, feathery foliage arcs gently around the blooms, fern-like and fresh, framing the flowers with a soft halo of green. At the base, all the stems are neatly aligned and wrapped in smooth white satin ribbon, the fabric catching the light so that it appears almost pearlescent, finished with a small, precise bow that marks this as a piece ready for a lapel. The design feels calm, thoughtful and intimate, ideal for a groom or groomsman walking into a town hall wedding, a prom, or an anniversary dinner somewhere between the Cutty Sark and the quiet residential streets just beyond.

On a pale, finely woven linen background, the texture of the fabric just visible like a quiet canvas, rests a single floral boutonniere that feels intimate and thoughtfully made, as if prepared for a special moment in Greenwich's historic town centre. At the heart of the piece, several soft pink, densely petalled blossoms cluster together, reminiscent of miniature stock or ruffled garden blooms, each floret overlapping the next to create a cushion of gentle colour. Their pink tones shift subtly from a delicate blush at the edges to a slightly richer centre, evoking the first light spilling over Greenwich Park. Nestled between these central flowers are dainty white baby's breath, the tiny star-shaped blooms forming a misty, cloudlike surround that lightens the entire design. Specks of deeper lavender or dusky purple flowers peek out between the pinks and whites, lending a hint of contrast and sophistication, like the unexpected charm of a hidden courtyard near the market. On one side, a line of creamy white to pale green buds-likely freesia-style blooms-reaches outward in a graceful arc, their slender forms still mostly closed, suggesting purity and the quiet promise of a day just beginning. Supporting the flowers, rich green leaves fan out, their broad, smooth surfaces creating a strong, glossy backdrop, while trails of finer, threadlike foliage add a slightly wild, organic edge. The stems are gathered neatly and wrapped in a flash of hot fuchsia satin, tied into a small but perfectly shaped bow whose tails rest gently against the linen. The lighting is soft and even, revealing every curve of petal and ribbon without harsh shadow, capturing a feeling of calm celebration-an ideal buttonhole for a groom or guest arriving at a local Greenwich ceremony, or for same-day delivery to a home on a quiet side street off the riverside.

A single peach rose boutonniere is captured resting on a pale beige woven fabric, the linen-like texture forming a calm, neutral stage reminiscent of sunlit table linens in small Greenwich wedding venues. The rose is the quiet star of the arrangement, positioned slightly on the diagonal, its petals partially unfurled to reveal a warm, apricot-peach centre that gradually softens to creamy, almost blush-toned edges. Its form suggests early-morning freshness, as though it has just been prepared by a local florist for a ceremony near Greenwich Park or a registry office close to the Cutty Sark. Around the rose, a delicate collar of white baby's breath creates a halo of tiny, cloud-like blooms, each miniature flower crisp and bright against the pastel tones. Fine, grassy green sprigs and a couple of broader, darker green leaves peek out from beneath the blossom, giving a layered, natural frame and a pleasing contrast in both colour and texture. The stems are carefully gathered and wrapped in a coordinating peach satin ribbon, the wrap smooth and even, ending in a modest, well-formed knot that adds subtle elegance rather than drawing attention away from the bloom. Soft, diffused lighting falls from above, revealing the gentle sheen of the ribbon, the intricate grain of the fabric background, and the velvety surface of the petals. The entire composition feels composed and intimate, like a groom's buttonhole waiting on a dresser before being pinned to a lapel for a wedding, prom, or formal celebration anywhere across Greenwich, from riverside hotels to cosy local restaurants hosting family gatherings.

Resting on a pale beige linen-like cloth with a slightly coarse, natural weave, this elegant boutonniere feels like a quiet moment of calm before a celebration in Greenwich's historic streets. At its centre, a pristine white phalaenopsis orchid opens in full bloom, the petals wide, smooth, and gently curved, almost porcelain in their stillness. Inside the orchid's throat, a soft wash of buttery yellow deepens into fine reddish-orange flecks, adding a touch of warmth and intrigue that draws the eye inward. Framing the orchid are light, cloud-soft sprigs of white baby's breath, their miniature blossoms scattered along thin stems like tiny stars in a pale sky, giving a dreamy, romantic texture that softens the whole piece. To the left, two small lime-green chrysanthemum buds provide a playful burst of colour; their compact, spherical shapes and detailed, needle-like petals add a modern, textural contrast against the orchid's smoothness. A deep green leaf, broad and slightly glossy, lies beneath the flowers like a natural backdrop, while a smaller, darker leaf slips in near the base, adding depth and structure. The stems are wrapped carefully in a strip of vivid crimson red satin ribbon, drawn tight and finished with a neat knot that introduces a confident pop of colour, much like a splash of red seen against classic stone buildings near Greenwich Market. The lighting is soft and even, enhancing the subtle shadows and highlights of each petal and leaf, and the mood of the piece suggests a polished, heartfelt accessory ideal for a groom, best man, or formal guest heading to a local ceremony by the riverside.

An artfully styled boutonniere rests on a pale oatmeal-coloured linen cloth, captured from above in gentle, natural light that recalls a calm morning in Greenwich before the shops open along the high street. The focal flower is a flawless white Phalaenopsis orchid, its broad, velvety petals unfurled in a clean, symmetrical shape, with a tender wash of creamy yellow and soft orange tucked into its throat, suggesting depth and quiet warmth. Surrounding the orchid, fine stems of baby's breath weave in a delicate halo of tiny white blooms, each blossom no bigger than a pinhead, contributing a misty, romantic texture that softens the composition. To one side, a cluster of round, glossy red berries, reminiscent of hypericum, glows like small jewels, while a handful of paler green, immature berries nestle nearby, adding gentle variation and a sense of freshness. Interspersed among the flowers and berries are rich green leaves, some smooth and elliptical, others more pointed, providing fresh colour and a rhythm of shapes that guide the eye through the design. At the base, a vibrant scarlet satin ribbon wraps snugly around the stems, tied into a neat knot with short ends, giving the piece a polished, ready-to-wear look that would sit beautifully on a suit jacket or evening coat. The neutral, woven backdrop keeps the attention on the intricate details and festive palette of white, green, and red. The overall impression is one of understated elegance and celebration, ideal for weddings, winter proms, or holiday gatherings anywhere across Greenwich, from Blackheath to the riverside, where a single, thoughtfully crafted floral accent can express personality and emotion close to the heart.

An elegant blush-pink rose boutonniere rests on a pale beige, linen-textured fabric, the natural weave of the cloth forming a calm, neutral backdrop that allows every petal and leaf to stand out in gentle detail. Viewed from slightly above, the single rose is the obvious focal point, half-open and at its freshest, with a soft pastel centre that gradually deepens into more saturated pink tones at the delicately ruffled edges. Around the base of the bloom, clusters of tiny white baby's breath create a dainty collar, their cloud-like flowers and fine stems adding a sense of lightness that contrasts beautifully with the rose's velvety, more substantial form. Slender blades of fine green foliage arc outward from behind, like soft brushstrokes of colour, while one broader, darker green leaf is folded and wrapped neatly around the stems, giving the design a tidy, tailored finish that would sit comfortably on a suit jacket at a Greenwich town hall wedding or prom celebration near the Cutty Sark. The stems are tightly bound with a satin ribbon that echoes the rose's pink tones, tied into a modest bow whose subtle shine catches the soft light filtering across the scene. Gentle, even illumination highlights the texture of the petals and the subtle shadows cast by the baby's breath, lending the boutonniere a three-dimensional presence, as though you could reach out and feel the smooth ribbon and cool, fresh stem. This small but carefully composed piece feels classic and contemporary at once, the sort of romantic detail a local florist might hand over just before a ceremony, ensuring the wearer carries a hint of Greenwich's charm with them throughout the day.

A richly romantic boutonniere is presented against a pale beige, slightly nubby fabric backdrop, similar to the textured linens often seen at intimate Greenwich receptions. The focal point is a single, luxurious fuchsia pink rose, its petals densely layered and velvety, spiralling from a tight, promising centre into broader, unfolding curves that suggest freshness and tenderness. Around the rose's base, clouds of tiny white baby's breath form a delicate halo, their miniature blossoms adding lightness and contrast, like soft mist around a sunset. Interspersed within this white haze are plump, shining red hypericum berries, each berry a bright, rounded accent that introduces a festive warmth and a hint of seasonal charm. The arrangement is framed by a mix of greenery: slender, feathery fronds that stretch outwards with graceful ease, and more substantial, darker leaves that are artfully curled and layered to cradle the flowers. The stems are tightly bound with a smooth red satin ribbon, the fabric wound with precision and finished in a modest, tidy knot that lies flat against the lapel when worn. Soft, natural-style lighting catches subtle highlights on the rose petals and berries, creating gentle shadows that emphasise the handcrafted detailing. This floral piece feels perfectly suited to a groom stepping out near Cutty Sark or a prom guest meeting friends by Greenwich Market, an elegant lapel flower that captures the joy, romance, and personal care that local florists bring to life's important celebrations.

A delicately crafted boutonnière rests on a neutral, light beige fabric, its soft texture and woven threads providing a calm backdrop that lets the colours of the flowers speak clearly. At the centre, a single rosebud in a vivid shade of deep pink, veering towards fuchsia, is tightly furled, the petals smooth and silky, layered in a compact spiral. It looks freshly cut, as if it has just been prepared in a small Greenwich florist's studio not far from the Cutty Sark, ready to be pinned on moments before a ceremony. Surrounding the rose are fine clouds of white baby's breath, each tiny blossom no bigger than a pinhead, creating a gentle, airy contrast that lifts the intensity of the rose's colour. The white clusters weave in and out of the composition, like soft lace against the richer tones. Wispy sprigs of bright green, grass-like foliage flare out elegantly behind the blooms, their feathery lines adding movement and a sense of natural ease, while slightly broader, darker green leaves closer to the stem provide a solid base. The stems of the rose, filler flowers, and greenery are carefully aligned and neatly bound with a strip of shiny red satin ribbon, wrapped smoothly and snugly around the base. The ribbon's sheen catches the light, echoing the rose's hue and adding a subtle, sophisticated finish. The lighting is bright but gentle, revealing the freshness of the petals and the fine edges of each leaf, evoking the feel of a clear morning before an event at a Greenwich town hall or a stylish gathering in nearby Deptford. Overall, the boutonnière conveys romance, care, and understated elegance, perfect for a groom, groomsman, or guest wanting a refined floral accent on their lapel.

This exquisitely crafted boutonniere, thoughtfully assembled in the heart of Greenwich, tells a story of gentle celebration and refined taste. Centering the design, a blush-pink rosebud curls tightly, its satiny petals whispering of early-morning flower markets by the river. Close beside it, a lighter peach-pink blossom, perhaps an alstroemeria sourced from the local Columbia Road Flower Market, reveals intricate speckles of yellow and soft, brushed lines-proof of a florist's caring hand. Airy clusters of baby's breath drift through the arrangement like spring clouds over Greenwich, providing softness and enhancing the boutonniere's airy feel. Accents of miniature chartreuse cushion mums, their spherical shapes lending playful vitality, are nestled within plush, deep-green foliage. Wispy, fern-like sprigs and bold, flat leaves offer both structure and visual intrigue, echoing the layered greenery of local gardens. The stems are neatly gathered and wrapped in a radiant fuchsia ribbon, tied into a small, precise bow whose sheen adds a final touch of joyous flair. Resting at a jaunty angle atop a woven linen background, each blossom and leaf stands out vividly, bathed in natural light. Ideal for weddings or milestone celebrations in Greenwich, this buttonhole brings together traditional romance and contemporary style, inviting memories of riverside ceremonies, festive gatherings, and the subtle scent of roses drifting on a late afternoon breeze. The piece embodies both craftsmanship and sincerity-an offering from Greenwich Florist, perfectly suited for special days along the Thames.

An elegant boutonniere is captured in close detail against a warm, light beige fabric that has the look of fine linen, its subtle weave creating a gentle, natural backdrop. Center stage is a single white alstroemeria flower, fully open, its petals slightly ruffled at the edges and kissed with slender reddish-brown streaks that lead inward toward a soft green-yellow throat and delicately protruding stamens. To the left of the main bloom, a tightly packed, cone-shaped cluster of bright green buds forms a striking contrast in both colour and texture, almost like a miniature floral tower that hints at blossoms yet to unfold. Nestled around and between these focal elements are airy clusters of white baby's breath, each tiny blossom adding a misty lightness, like a fine veil draped over the arrangement. The flowers are anchored by a bed of rich foliage: sturdy, dark green, spear-shaped leaves create a solid base, while finer, ribbon-like strands of grass curl and weave through the composition, lending a sense of movement and relaxed elegance. On the right, the stems are gathered and secured with a glossy pink satin ribbon, tied into a tidy, compact bow that brings a joyful, romantic accent to the predominantly white and green palette. Soft, even lighting enhances every detail, from the satiny petal texture to the faint sheen of the ribbon. The boutonniere feels perfect for a groom or prom guest heading out from a townhouse near Greenwich Market or a ceremony by the river, a small but meaningful floral touch that carries the quiet excitement of a special day.

A delicate wedding boutonnière rests at a gentle diagonal on a light beige, linen-like fabric, the subtle weave of the background giving a calm, natural setting for the flowers. The focal point is a single white lisianthus bloom, fully open and perfectly formed, its soft ruffled petals unfolding in overlapping layers that look almost like fine tissue or silk caught in a soft breeze. Just below and slightly to the left, two slender eustoma buds in creamy pale green lean close, their closed forms echoing the central flower and symbolising the quiet promise of a day that is only just beginning-ideal for a couple exchanging vows in Greenwich town centre or near the Cutty Sark. Around the trio, tiny clusters of white gypsophila, or baby's breath, scatter like delicate stars, adding texture and a romantic haze without overwhelming the main blossom. Fine, grass-like leaves sweep out to the left, creating a feeling of movement and natural flow, while a single darker green leaf sits behind the lisianthus, deepening the contrast and anchoring the composition. At the base, the stems are tidily gathered and wrapped in a bright fuchsia satin ribbon, tied into a small but confident bow whose vivid colour brings a joyful splash of personality against the muted bedding-like fabric. The soft, even lighting illuminates the boutonnière without strong shadows, making every petal edge, leaf vein, and thread in the cloth clearly visible. It feels like a thoughtfully chosen lapel flower for a groom or guest heading to a celebration along the Thames, an understated yet expressive keepsake that holds a hint of freshness, romance, and carefully curated style.

A single, immaculate white Phalaenopsis orchid rests horizontally on a pale beige, linen-textured fabric, as if laid out on a carefully prepared suit in a Greenwich home before a special event. The orchid's petals are broad and smooth, opening like gentle wings around a finely detailed centre shaded with soft yellow and a whisper of blush pink, lending warmth to the otherwise crisp white bloom. Encircling the base of the orchid, an airy collar of baby's breath adds volume without weight, each tiny white flower appearing like a floating bead of light, giving the boutonniere an ethereal, almost cloud-like softness. Slim, bright green leaves emerge discreetly from behind the flowers, providing a fresh contrast that keeps the design feeling alive and natural rather than overly formal. To one side, a short spray of pale green orchid buds, still tightly closed, curves gracefully outward, their smooth surfaces suggesting the promise of future blossoms. All the stems are neatly bound together with a narrow, lustrous fuchsia satin ribbon, tied into a small but confident bow whose vivid colour introduces a playful yet elegant note, reminiscent of the colourful shopfronts and markets near Greenwich High Road. The gentle, diffused lighting softens any harsh shadows, making the textures of petal, ribbon, and linen fabric feel tangible and close. This carefully composed boutonniere or corsage speaks of intimate celebrations-a wedding ceremony by the river, a prom night at a local school, or a family gathering in one of the area's historic venues-where every detail, down to the flowers pinned at the lapel, is chosen with thought, care, and quiet sentiment.

A delicately styled white orchid boutonniere lies on a pale beige woven fabric, the subtle crosshatch of the material hinting at linen or burlap and creating a soft, natural stage for the flowers. The central blossom is a flawless white Phalaenopsis orchid, its petals smooth and slightly glossy like porcelain, unfurling in a gentle curve around a pale yellow centre that glows softly, as if touched by early morning light drifting across Greenwich Park. Encircling this serene focal flower is a halo of petite baby's breath, each tiny white bloom forming part of a light, cloud-like ring that contrasts beautifully with the orchid's broad, confident shape. Slender tufts of feathery green foliage emerge from underneath, adding movement and a fresh, garden-picked feel that a local Greenwich florist would recognise from arranging wedding flowers for historic venues near the Old Royal Naval College. The stems are carefully gathered and wrapped in smooth white satin ribbon, the finish perfectly straight and secure, with a small bow that feels graceful rather than fussy, ready to be pinned to the lapel of a suit. Gentle, diffused lighting washes over the arrangement, illuminating the creamy whites and lively greens without glare, creating a peaceful, intimate mood. The boutonniere suggests a wedding day that values quiet luxury and refinement-a groom or groomsman stepping out onto the streets around Greenwich Market or down towards the river, wearing an understated piece that symbolises purity, commitment, and enduring love. This small floral detail captures the essence of a modern yet timeless ceremony, where every element, down to the tiniest bloom of gypsophila, has been chosen with care.

Diagonally positioned on a pale beige, linen-like fabric that evokes the relaxed elegance of a Greenwich boutique hotel, a single white rose boutonniere becomes the clear focal point of this image. The rosebud is creamy and luminous, its petals tightly coiled but soft, as if they might open fully by the time the wedding party gathers near the Cutty Sark or in a historic church off Greenwich High Road. Surrounding the rose, tiny white filler blossoms-very similar to baby's breath-cluster together in gentle tufts, adding a misty lightness and enhancing the impression of purity and celebration. Deep green leaves, narrow and slightly glossy, extend from behind the bloom, joined by a few more delicate, feathery fronds that give a subtle sense of movement and texture. The stems below are expertly bound with a smooth white satin ribbon, wrapped so precisely that no loose ends show, and completed with a small, neat bow that rests just beneath the floral head, ready for a groom's or groomsman's lapel. Soft, even lighting washes across the scene, revealing the fine grain of the fabric background and the velvety surface of each petal, yet casting almost no harsh shadow. The colour story remains calm and classic-creamy whites, fresh greens, and warm neutrals-suited to traditional or modern ceremonies alike. This photograph gently captures the intimacy of wedding flower preparation, the kind of careful, hands-on craftsmanship you might expect from a local Greenwich florist as they create buttonholes for a riverside reception or registry office ceremony nearby.
