You can pick up ready-made bouquets for about £20 or ask for something unique for any price.

I have bought flowers from here for gardeners and they have been impressed, which kinda says it all. Staff are really friendly and listen to what you are trying to explain, most importantly really excited about making something for you that works. They also deliver locally but, trust me, if you're a man walking down the street with flowers you will get a smile from all the ladies!

This is a wonderfully refreshing and vibrant florist right in the heart of the city centre. One of…read morethe most refreshing things about it is the service - a very personal touch from Ms Tomlinson herself who has built the business from scratch. It is her knowledge and dedication to the industry that really shines through in this wild pink and green floral bouquet of a store. This isn't a run-off-the-mill florist offering baskets of pre picked flowers and plants fit for a student's bedroom. On the contrary it is something very unique and different; a shop where specific types of flower are bought in and sold similarly specific. Bunches and bouquets can be arranged for any occasion from a christening, to a wedding, to a wake. Even if you're not sure what flowers would be best for what occasion, rest assured Tilly Tomlinson and her more than able staff will be happy to assist. A colourful, happy shop built with love and smelling oh so beautiful.

Gemma was really helpful in helping me chose the flowers I wanted, the style of bouquets and button holes and how it would all fit together. The shop is lovely, they have loads of flowers to chose from as well as little gifts and other bits and pieces. I emailed over some ideas initially then we met up and put our heads together and I then was able to leave it to them. I was pretty laid back with my flowers but I know if I had wanted more involvement that would have been fine too. They have some lovely props you can hire such as different vases and candelabras so its really helpful to know you can get all these things from one place. I would highly recommend The Lily Pad florist, its definitely worth paying them a visit.

Her bouquets are modern and delicate, or you can just buy a few stems of things to take home and arrange yourself.

They will even use ostrich plumage in your flower display for that 'I'm definitely not a cheapskate' look. No, seriously they will make you something really special here. They have just added a whole range of fruit and vegetable plants to their stall, things like strawberries, tomatoes, courgettes, leaks and lettuces and if I had the faintest idea how to grow any of those things I would give it a go (I don't have a garden, probably an issue?). They have also got a great range of potted plants for granny or auntie and if you do what the marketing campaigns tell you and buy flowers for yourself, rather than wait for men like me to do something wrong, treat yourself to some from this stall.

Seemingly built around something of a garden shed, this little shop in the middle of the shopping centre offers quite a bit of competition for any florist around.

None of it's too dear either with some really good deals on some really beautiful plants. A very nice little place indeed.

A resident of this street for decades the primary skill they offer is experience.

This is a florist unlike any other I have been in before…read more Perhaps it is because it is more like a shop in the conventional sense; insulated and warm as opposed to the sort of garden centre feel a lot of other florists have. Perhaps it is the homely and welcoming interior, with its framed photographs or antique chairs. I assume it is a combination of all these points and the ensuing and absolutely incredible scent from the flowers, unable to circulate but instead sitting like some beautifully soft quilt. Bunches of missed anniversaries and apologies sit outside in colourful metal bins alongside larger bouquets of a graduation or christening. It is the floral organising of big occasions such as weddings and funerals however, that really set Les Fleurs apart from the rest. If someone has their own garden, for instance, Les Fleurs can arrange to pick and prepare on site. It's a very professional but personal service where I really get the feel they're in control of things. For any query you have I suggest you give them a ring or, if possible, pop in - if only for the aforementioned quilt-like experience.

I went there recently to buy a 'congratulations' bouquet for my friend who had just got a new job. The woman who served me was really helpful; my friend is exceptionally girly and I wasn't sure what I wanted as I know nothing about flowers. I simply told her my budget, the reason for the bouquet and they type of girl my friend was and she prepared a fantastic bouquet with pink roses, pink freesias and lots more. Most impressively the ends of the flowers were trimmed in the store and I was given some flower feed to keep the flowers healthy and along with the message card I was also given an advice card to help maintain the bouquet. The flowers were wrapped up to form a gorgeous bouquet and a beautiful present. Lloyds is a lovely florist that offers the personal touch.
