BASKETS / POSIES
A bright, carefully balanced floral basket that feels both fresh and quietly joyful, lovingly put together by Longford Florist for local deliveries across Longford and surrounding villages. Dominating the composition are several immaculate white Gerbera daisies, each with a bold, dark brown-to-black central disk that anchors the airy white petals and gives the arrangement a confident, luminous focus. Surrounding these are clusters of soft, pale pink carnations whose frilled petals provide a cushioned, romantic texture, while numerous small white and cream-yellow spray chrysanthemums or asters nestle between blooms to create density and visual generosity. Tiny sprigs of pale blue-lavender accent flowers slip through the greenery like gentle notes, giving depth and a subtle cool contrast to the warm pinks. The floral mass is set in a light-colored handwoven wicker basket whose natural wooden strips and curved brown handle lend a rustic, timeless charm; the basket's shape allows the blooms to spill slightly over the edge for a relaxed, generous silhouette. A thoughtful selection of foliage supports the blooms: rounded eucalyptus leaves with their silvery sheen introduce a calming fragrance, and glossy ruscus branches trail gracefully to the left, adding an elegant cascade and varied leaf texture. The steady, even studio light accentuates each petal's fine detail and the wicker's tactile weave, making the bouquet readable at a glance. Ideal as a congratulatory gift, a refined table centerpiece, or a gentle expression of sympathy, this basket carries a delicate, approachable beauty well suited to Market Square pick-ups or thoughtful deliveries to homes near Longford Railway Station.

This detailed studio image captures a funeral flower basket arranged with the kind of careful balance and respect that local families in Longford often seek when saying goodbye. The basket itself is woven in a light, creamy tone, with a prominent curved handle that arches smoothly over a mound of blossoms, echoing the gentle curve of a protective arm. At the very centre sits a pristine creamy white rose, its petals tightly layered yet soft at the edges, radiating a sense of tranquillity and quiet love. On either side, rich purple calla lilies rise with their distinctive trumpet-shaped forms, the velvety surfaces turning from deep plum at the throat to a softer sheen near the edges, bringing a solemn yet elegant note to the piece. Interspersed among these focal flowers are pale lavender and lilac clematis-like blooms, their slim, starry petals and subtle yellow cores offering lightness and a suggestion of movement, as if stirred by a gentle breeze blowing across the Longford area. Small bursts of yellow and white bell-shaped flowers-resembling freesia or alstroemeria-dot the arrangement, providing cheerful sparks of brightness that recall shared laughs and sunlit memories. At the right edge, a vivid magenta gerbera daisy stands slightly forward, its fine, radiating petals creating a striking disc of colour that feels like a heartfelt final message. Beneath and behind every blossom, an abundance of glossy dark green leaves and smaller, fresh green sprigs fills the basket, creating depth, contrast, and a sense of overflowing generosity. The white background and soft shadow beneath make the entire design stand out clearly, conveying a feeling of cleanliness and reverence. It looks ready to be delivered across Longford as a tender expression of sympathy and enduring remembrance.

This refined sympathy basket is photographed against a spotless white background, the pale wicker handle curving in a soft arch above a lush, rounded bed of flowers that exudes calm and care. The composition has the balanced, gently structured look of work crafted by a skilled Longford florist, designed for moments of farewell and remembrance. At the centre, several large creamy white roses open fully, their velvety petals layered into generous rosettes that speak of purity, gratitude, and enduring affection. Interwoven around them are airy, star-shaped clematis blooms in muted lavender and periwinkle blue, each blossom focused by a bright yellow-green centre that draws the eye and adds a subtle spark to the otherwise tranquil palette. Nestled between these are clusters of smaller, freesia-like blooms in shades of white and pale yellow, their slender buds and delicate open petals introducing light fragrance and a sense of gentle movement. Occasional bright yellow notes and crisp white petals keep the arrangement from feeling somber, instead evoking a soft, uplifting light, much like a quiet morning along Longford's residential streets. Enveloping the flowers is a generous layer of deep, glossy green foliage, broad leaves and finer stems overlapping to give depth, structure, and a sense of natural abundance. The result is a dignified basket ideally suited for a funeral service, memorial ceremony, or sympathy delivery throughout Longford, offering a tasteful, soothing way to convey condolences and honour the memory of a loved one.
PEACE & PURITY BASKET

In this image, a refined sympathy flower basket is carefully arranged to convey both tenderness and respect, the kind of tribute often chosen by families around Longford who want something classic yet comforting. The flowers are gathered in a shallow, oval wooden basket, crafted from pale, natural slats that rest on discrete little feet, lifting the arrangement slightly from the surface. A smooth, arched handle rises gracefully above, its light tone echoing the softness of the composition. The blooms are densely clustered into a rounded dome that fills the basket to the brim, suggesting abundance without feeling overwhelming. Several creamy white roses, fully open with velvety layered petals, draw the eye first, carrying the traditional message of purity, peace, and fond remembrance. Nestled closely among them are deep red carnations, their plush, ruffled petals adding rich colour and texture, speaking of deep affection and enduring love. To soften this bold red and white pairing, the florist has woven in pale pink and bi-coloured carnations, some with white petals delicately edged or flecked with red, introducing subtle variation and a gentler emotional tone. Small clusters of white, trumpet-shaped flowers, similar to freesias, rise lightly from between the larger blooms, adding an airy, graceful note. Beneath and around all of this lies a generous framework of dark green foliage, with broad, glossy leaves grounding the design and fine, feathery fronds of fern-like greenery providing a soft, haloed outline. Against the clean white background, the colours appear crisp and true. This basket is well suited to funeral services, memorials, or condolence deliveries across Longford, offering a thoughtful, calming presence in times of loss.
REMEMBRANCE BASKET

Photographed against a clean white backdrop, this lush, round bouquet reveals a tapestry of colour and texture that draws the viewer in like a carefully composed painting. At the heart of the design lie full, romantic garden roses in blush pink, sunlit yellow, and creamy peach, their petals unfolding in layered spirals that conjure softness and comfort. Some blossoms are in full bloom, others are just beginning to open, creating a sense of time captured mid-moment. Scattered among the roses are star-shaped clematis blooms in white and pale lavender; their slender petals reach outward, leading the eye toward their bright, pollen-rich centres that glow softly under the light. Rising through this floral softness, spiky blue Eryngium-sea holly in a cool metallic blue-grey-adds structure, bringing a subtle hint of wild meadow energy into the arrangement. Deep purple lisianthus tuck themselves between the roses, from closed, ruffled buds to half-open flowers, adding pockets of moody colour and gently textured edges. Tiny clusters of bright red Hypericum berries dot the bouquet like captured raindrops, their smooth surfaces catching highlights and offering playful contrast to the petals. All of this rests on a foundation of varied greenery: broad, polished leaves provide a strong base, fine fern-like sprigs weave through the flowers, and darker, wine-tinted foliage emerges in places, enhancing the bouquet's depth. The gentle, even lighting makes the colours appear fresh and true, as though the bouquet had just been prepared on a workbench in a Longford florist's studio, ready to be sent out for same-day delivery. The overall impression is of refined abundance and warmth, ideal for celebrations, thank-you gifts, or simply brightening a Longford home.
ETERNAL MEMORY POSY

From a top-down, gallery-like angle this immaculate round bouquet reads as a study in monochrome grace: broad white oriental lilies with softly recurved petals and pale greenish-yellow stamens form the focal points, their elegant shapes contrasted by clusters of cream-to-ivory roses that range from tightly furled buds to softly opened blossoms. Interwoven between these principal blooms, delicate sprays of white Baby's Breath (Gypsophila) create an airy, lace-like filler that softens the transition between flowers and adds a fine, feathery texture to the mass. Small bursts of glossy green foliage at the outer edge punctuate the white, framing the composition and giving it a fresh, garden-harvest feel. The bouquet sits against a pure white surface under soft, neutral lighting that accentuates the lilies' subtle petal veining and the roses' layered velvet without introducing colour casts, producing a calm, contemplative image. Close your eyes and you would notice a gentle, lingering fragrance-a sweet, honeyed note from the lilies blended with the classic, warm scent of cream roses and a faint, green undertone from the leaves. This is a versatile arrangement, equally at home as a bridal posy, an elegant centrepiece, or a thoughtful gift for a new beginning. As a local arrangement often prepared for Longford households and community events along Bath Road and the riverside walks, it reflects a craftsmanship rooted in simple, timeless beauty and a careful attention to proportion and scent that Longford Florist aims to bring to every order.

Set against a clean white background, this hand-tied bouquet of lilies and roses appears opulent and meticulously crafted, like something just lifted from the workbench of a skilled Longford florist. Broad white lilies form the backbone of the design, their trumpet-shaped blooms fully open in places, showing silky petals that arch back to frame subtle green throats and pale yellow stamens. Among them nestle soft blush-pink roses and warm ivory roses, the petals close-knit on younger buds and more relaxed and layered on the mature blooms, creating a rhythmic pattern of curves and shadows. For vivid contrast, several Oriental lilies in intense fuchsia and magenta pierce the pastel tones, their petals decorated with darker speckling and tipped in bright pink, with golden anthers that draw the eye to their centres. A fine mist of white baby's breath runs through the arrangement, its tiny clustered flowers lending a gossamer lightness that tempers the bouquet's density. Slender green leaves and unopened lily buds edge the design, adding a sense of fresh growth and a garden-like feel. The composition is captured in bright, even lighting that reveals every nuance of colour and texture, from the velvety rose petals to the satiny sheen of the lilies. It feels like a bouquet prepared for a heartfelt moment: perhaps a romantic surprise sent to a home near Longford village green, a sophisticated gift for a hotel by the Heathrow perimeter, or a tender tribute delivered along Bath Road. The overall mood is one of celebration, affection, and thoughtful craftsmanship.
CHERISHED MOMENTS POSY

I picture dawn light spilling over Market Square as I describe this compact, meticulously shaped bouquet: a rounded dome of soft pink roses and crisp white freesia arranged with the restraint of a seasoned florist. Prominent, fully opened roses reveal concentric swirls of velvety petals, while smaller spray roses in paler pink fill gaps and add a puckered, youthful texture. Clusters of pure white freesia rise in upright sprays; some blooms hang open like tiny porcelain bells exposing pale yellow stamens, while others remain as promising buds, suggesting a slow, unfolding life. The supporting greens are lush and varied - deep, glossy leaves form a steady, rich base, and variegated foliage edged in cream illuminates the composition with subtle flashes of brightness. The bouquet is so densely packed that no stems show, giving it a polished, cushion-like silhouette that rests cleanly against the white background and displays a soft drop shadow, as if lit by the gentle morning sky over St Mel's Cathedral. The contrast of textures - smooth rose petals, delicate freesia trumpets, and the slightly waxy sheen of the foliage - creates a sensory impression of scent, softness and quiet elegance. This arrangement suits tender occasions: a thoughtful new-baby welcome, a hushed birthday breakfast, or a comforting tribute, and would be approachable for local delivery across Longford and nearby communities by a florist who knows the pace of the town.
