This is the first time I have used Flowers in the Field even though the shop has been in my…read moreneighbourhood for many years. Having been disappointed by my usual florist the last two times I decided to take a chance on someone new. As I needed two bunches of flowers for my uncle's funeral (one for the casket and one for my aunt), I wanted something very beautiful. I called up and Kristy was more than happy to help me. Not having a clue about flowers, she was able to guide me expertly as I haphazardly try to describe what I wanted. When I went to pick up the flowers the next day, they were all I could hope for and more. The sheath for the casket was a stunning arrangement of white flowers - lillies and roses mostly - and were beautiful. The bunch for my much loved aunt was stunning and beautiful as well. The florist stayed with the 'white' theme that my late uncle wanted but the bunch had a lovely pop of colour - just enough sprinkled through the bouquet. The prices were very reasonable and I was surprised at the size of the sheath and bouquet for what I paid - they were both huge! I cannot recommend Flowers in the Field highly enough ... and yes, they are my new florist.

I've had the pleasure of working with Bec on two occasions now including our recent Yelper Party where she took a concept from brief to installation with creativity and grace. She understood the theme instantly and added a true sophistication to my event. Her ethos of only working with locally available blooms and greens is to be admired as is her desire to teach us all the ways to weave blooms into our everyday life. Best of all her work is affordable and accessible to all. She works to your budget and communicates with you throughout making sure you're across all information and decisions. Her input only makes the end result better.

Vanilla Pod, my…read morefavourite Brisbane cake destination happens to be right next door to The Flower Man and it was in my pursuit of cake that I came across this pretty little florist. It's a tiny shop so the selection isn't huge, but what is there is top quality and fresh. The prices a very reasonable for what you get and the flowers I've bought from here have always lasted well too. As well as flowers, The Flower Man has managed to squeeze a few little gifts and cards in among the bouquets and at Christmas last year they had some really lovely tree decorations. I love that The Flower Man is next to Vanilla Pod because whenever I go to buy cake for a friend's birthday I can get them a bunch of beautiful flowers. Flowers and cake: two of life's simplest pleasures!

I've just arranged an expensive flower arrangement for a dear friend. As a group we were willing…read moreto spend $170 so we wanted something amazing. When I arrived to view the flowers before they were sent I was very disappointed that the style was not appropriate for the recipient and not what I had imagined at all. I guess this was due to semantics and communication, expectations and assumptions. I was impressed that the girls in this florist (including Phoebe) didn't try to convince me that this bunch was in fact appropriate. Instead, after some apologies for crossed-wires about expectations they sprung into action to create a new bunch very much different from the first. They did well to stay patient and attentive despite me being a very contrary customer. I guess it pays dividends to bow to customers wants and needs because - well - here I am now singing their praises. I'm sure many florists would have railroaded me into accepting the first bunch or tried to alter it slightly. I was very pleased they wiped the slate clean and started again.

My flowers were so beautiful and unique, in a white, old fashioned box with buckles and gold trim. It had the most beautiful white and green colour scheme (my fav colours) with white lilies and an array of beautiful green flowers and leaves. One stem was actually fashioned into an 'S' shape, the first letter of my name. The arrangement was so different you could tell a lot of thought and design had gone into the arrangement and selection of flowers. Definitely worth looking into if you are after something a bit special.

I have been fairly cynical in recent times to the value for money available at the florists I'd used, so much so, that the last time I wanted an impressive array I got up at the crack of dawn and drove to the flower markets at Rocklea, but there wasn't time for that, so Flowers by the Bay it was. When I arrived to pick up the bouquet imagine my surprise when she produced two of the lovliest and most generoud selections I'd seen in a very long time. The blooms were fresh, the colours coordinated and the arrangements artistic and tasteful. I'll definitely go back next time I need to say it with flowers.

Hacienda is an interesting shop. Apparently the owners are originally from Mexico and then made a…read moreseachange from Sydney a decade or so ago. They sell some unusual Mexican and Mexican-inspired home wares as well as flowers and gifts. I think where Hacienda makes it mark is in the garden furnishings department. Every year the owners go to Mexico and source some beautiful, vibrant vases, pots, and garden tubs. As far as their other stock goes, some of it is fairly typical and can be found in other home ware/garden type stores around Brisbane. But Hacienda's Mexican niche sets them apart and adds lots of bright colours and patterns to the kind of stock that can sometimes be a bit bland or token. I always like having a peek into Hacienda when I'm on Racecourse road and maybe one day I'll have a hacienda of my own to fill with cacti and plants in bright coloured pots, until then I'll make do with looking.

What I initially thought was another florist shop, this store proffered up some really unique fashion and home ware treasures. Coming inside I was immediately charmed by both the friendly owner and the laboriously decorated and detailed interiors. This store is quite big, with three rooms bursting with products. A mecca of children's toys and baubles, CUR also offers a range of home wares from tea cloths, napkins, cake stands, cards, fun outdoor games and all sorts of crafty kits to a plethora of fat glossy art tomes, bake sets, japanese ceramics, candles, fabrics and much much more. (My favourite section is the jewellery, be sure to check out the chunky wooden offerings from ELK.) This place is PERFECT for gifts, and I guarantee anything here would please even the most discerning human.
