Excellent originality if a little messy. The drooping amaranthus gave real drama and height to the composition. From £39

44 Hanbury Street, E1

studiotussy.com

A natural and wild selection which we rather enjoyed — though perhaps in danger of veering into weed territory. An exciting bunch nonetheless. From £70

Unit 1 Regent Studios, 8 Andrews Road, E8

rebelrebel.co.uk

We fell in love with this darling bunch of impressively sourced blooms, boasting a charming selection of British greenery. The best scent of the lot. From £60

66 New Kings Road, SW6 & 3 Swain’s Lane, N6

realflowers.co.uk

Lots of very creative and modern choices going on here — although the anthuriums felt a little 2023. Top marks for their wonderfully blousy hydrangeas. From £60

69 Golborne Road, W10;

callunaflowers.co.uk

Intriguing and eye-catching — you can’t fault Peckham-based Sage’s ingenuity. We loved the vibrant birds of paradise but found the composition slightly sparse in reality. From £40

6 Station Passage, SE15

sageflowers.co.uk

The only dry flowers entry on the list — commendable considering their sustainability —we found the arrangement tasteful and varied but difficult to compare given its outlier status. From £55

Vale Road, N4

designbynature.co

Packed with roses, hydrangeas and pink gypsophila, this fantastic-smelling bouquet will make partners swoon. From £60

Locations include 53 Elizabeth Street, SW1

moysesflowers.co.uk

A wintry bunch with hypericum berries and bold chrysanthemums. Although, at the risk of sounding scrooge like, we could have done without the sparkling pine cones. From £45

The Flower Stand Chelsea, 241 Fulham Road, SW3

White roses, berried ivy and astrantia gave the whole arrangement the feeling of a very English garden. The sturdy glass vase was a nice touch, though it made the wire holding the bunch together rather obvious. From £65

65 Gloucester Road, SW7

pulbrookandgould.co.uk

One of the most consistent florists in the city. This bunch was abundant and dramatic with vibrant shocks of nerine and big pink hydrangeas. From £40

76 Chamberlayne Road, NW10

scarletandviolet.com

The grande dame of the London floral scene — these felt expensive and elegant. However, the pops of skimmia couldn’t save it from being ever so slightly dark. From £100

3 Brad Street, SE1

mcqueensflowers.com

Classics are classics for a reason. But in a competition with such inventiveness, Paul Thomas’s bridal bouquet felt slightly dated. Still, lovely on the nose. From £75

Arch 83 Queens Circus, SW11

The white anemones were gorgeous but we thought the arrangement lacked impact and invention, with a rather staid colour choice. From £80

222 Westbourne Grove, W11
