Inside Our South Kensington Studio: How We Craft Luxury Bouquets by Hand

Behind every bouquet from Petals at Bibendum lies more than flowers, there’s design, precision, emotion, and a deep love for the art of floristry.

Tucked inside the iconic Michelin House in South Kensington, our studio is where luxury meets craftsmanship. It’s not just a workspace, it’s the heart of everything we create.

Here’s a glimpse into how our bouquets come to life.


1. An Address That Speaks of Elegance

Our studio is located in Michelin House, Chelsea, a landmark of design, heritage, and sophistication, just like our flowers.

This central location places us within easy reach of:

  • Chelsea

  • South Kensington

  • Knightsbridge

  • Belgravia

  • Central London (within a 6-mile delivery radius)

Being here allows us to offer same-day delivery with speed, style, and unmatched attention to detail.


2. The Daily Flower Ritual

Each morning begins the same way: fresh stems, hand-selected and unpacked with care.

We work closely with trusted growers and wholesalers to ensure every stem:

  • Meets our luxury quality standards

  • Has optimal vase life

  • Arrives seasonally fresh and at its absolute best

Once inside the studio, stems are:

  • Conditioned in cool water

  • Stripped and trimmed by hand

  • Grouped by palette, texture, and structure

This is the unseen choreography that ensures your bouquet looks effortless, but performs beautifully.


3. Designed by Eye, Not by Formula

Our florists don’t work from recipes. They work from intuition, training, and style.

Every bouquet is:

  • Hand-tied using natural spiralling for structure and flow

  • Designed to honour movement, space, and scale

  • Made to suit the occasion, sentiment, and recipient

Whether it’s 20 white Avalanche roses or a wild garden-style mix, our designs always balance artistry and refinement.


4. From South Kensington to Your Door Same Day

The moment bouquet is made, it’s passed to a courier for same-day delivery across Chelsea and Central London, available for all orders placed before 3 PM.

This ensures:

  • Maximum freshness

  • Punctual arrivals for birthdays, anniversaries, and events

  • A seamless, white-glove experience from start to finish

5. A Studio with Soul

Our studio isn’t a showroom. It’s a working space full of:

  • Scattered stems

  • Ribbons on the floor

  • The scent of eucalyptus and rose

  • Quiet music and quiet confidence

It’s where ideas become designs. Where flowers are elevated into expressions. Where luxury meets intimacy.

And it’s here, at 81 Michelin House, that we tie each bouquet with care, craft, and feeling.


Crafted in Chelsea, Delivered Across London

Luxury isn’t about being loud. It’s about doing the quiet things well: the wrap, the ribbon, the water temperature, the symmetry of stems.

At Petals at Bibendum, our South Kensington studio is where all of that happens and we can’t wait to create something beautiful for your next moment.
