It may be over a century old, but the flowers at this pitch in the heart of the city centre are as…read morefresh as fresh can be. The blooms and bouquets from here are radiant and fragrant and always bring a smile to my face on even the gloomiest of Brummie days. This is an ideas stall. This place invents lovely combinations of flowers to give as gifts, and seems to change the bouquets designs daily - just to keep things as fresh as its flowers. However, it also does the classics perfectly. How many Brummies have heard the words 'I love you' accompanied by a Sutton Flower's single red rose? At certain times of the year things become a little different. Easter sees blooms that reflect the festivities, and at Christmas it's also possible to get gifts, cards and wrapping paper. I like to visit just after work, when Birmingham is winding down after a long day. This is when there are bargains to be had, as Sutton Flowers sells off the day's stock ready to start afresh the next day. Put simply, Sutton Flowers is a little ray of sunshine in a busy corner of Brum.

This spectacular little florist is so elegant you'll not want to leave…read more Located on the ground floor of the ICC complex, the fragrance draws you in. They have a lovely selection of beautiful flowers, vases, and small gifts. As you walk in you'll notice a large glass fridge with big fresh flowers kept inside. The service in here is well above and beyond. Jo is the manager and is very friendly, happy to answer any question that you may have. They cater for weddings, exhibitions, dinner dances, events..... and so on. They are also part of the NEC, so have no problem fitting out for large exhibitions. The website is being updated, and gift vouchers are available through E-florist. Opening hours are 9am-6pm mon-fri, and 10-5pm on a Saturday.

They offer flowers and cater for the following services: corporate, hotels/bars, events/parties, weddings etc. The Florist uses the highest quality Colombian, Dutch and English flowers to create quality arrangements to suit your needs. What a combination of nationalities hey! Bloomin Lovely also deliver flowers and you can choose a delivery day and time. In terms of the areas where Bloomin Lovely deliver flowers, they deliver to the postal areas of B42, B43, B44, B23, B20, B70 and some areas in Walsall. I did find the shop to be way crammed and it was no surprise some of the flowers were placed outside. I also found the flowers to be expensive so I don't think I will be coming back here. Have to say the shop owner was very friendly.

Oh dear - I'm sorry that this is such a generic name for what is a really lovely stall - but there…read moreis a good reason. A couple of days ago I brought a really nice mixed bunch of flowers from this place for about six quid. The chap who runs the stall (who is ever so nice) didn't have any change so said he'd have to owe me one (cheeky wink) and I smiled and mumbled something about 'holding him to that' and walked away and thought to myself a) what a nice bunch of flowers b) I should really write about this place So I decided I would take a photo and then maybe pop back and have a chat with him to find out his company name etc. Unfortunately as I was taking said photo the bloke shot me a really sad look - I think he thought I was so cheesed off that he'd not been able to give me my 5p change that I was somehow logging him for future reference, so instead of going over and explaining I jumped on the nearest Harborne bound bus. To cut a long, not very interesting story short I'm not sure what the stall is called but I do know it's just by The Great Western Arcade and outside Sainsbury's and it's worth getting flowers from it because they last for ages. Plus he does really decadent looking bouquets of sunflowers and lillies rather than the usual bedraggled bunches of carnations that you might get at the bigger supermarkets. And if you do see him, tell him not to worry about that 5p!

Both my brother and I have treated mom to a pretty bouquet of posies for her birthday and Mother's Day, but that's small-scale. As well as elaborate, decorative bouquets for those times you really want to splash out, I'd recommend this cute independent to bridezillas planning their special day as one friend was really pleased with the lilies she requested for her post-nuptial reception. Turnaround is quick and the staff are really pleasant and helpful, offering advice and suggestions to someone like me who hasn't got a clue where flowers are concerned. The only drawback is you might forget it's there if you don't often walk down the Arcade - so hopefully this review has pointed it out to you!

Both wonderfully decorated and well cared for, many florists should take note. They cover any occasion that you may have requiring flowers. They offer bridal and wedding services, contracts for flower arrangements, handmade bespoke flower arrangements, gifts, toys and teddies to accessorise, and even have a licence to sell champagne and wine! A perfect little shop with friendly and enthusiastic customer service.

Inside there are even more cut flowers but also a small card and gift section. It is the range of flowers I was so impressed with: fresh sunflowers and peonies along with things I didn't even recognise or know the name of. However, the flowers and stock doesn't seem cheap - £2.50 for one sunflower isn't exactly competitive when compared to city centre flower stalls. The staff were very friendly and helpful so perhaps for a special occasion it would be worth the extra money.

Flowers are reasonably priced and there are many to choose from so that is one positive. There are also a number of cards to choose from whether they are birthdays, anniversaries, thank you cards etc. The cards are pretty cheap as well so that is another positive. I do not have any pets so I did not really pay much attention to the pets part of the shop although I did see dog food, toys for animals etc. The shop is very roomy and the staff are very friendly. If you do have any pets, this could be a place for you in terms of getting pet food at a cheaper rate. Considering the financial difficulties we are facing, there are plenty of cheap items at Paws n' Thoughts and you may want to purchase one or two items from here.

Having never been in a pet store (yes seriously), I wasn't sure what to expect or even look out for. So, I kind of entered into the store like a lost chicken. My little sister on the other hand, was beaming with excitement and she became even more excited when she realised they sold more than just pet food. We ended up spending a good 40 minutes in the store. She bought her cat a new collar, a gift card from the store for one of her friends who's birthday was coming up (I didn't even realise they sold gift cards in pet shops). I'm not going back in there with her!! Taking 10 year olds shopping is a big mistake but overall this store is actually really cool. They sell what every pet lover would adore and more. I highly recommend it to those wanting to give their pet a little something special. Another note is that the staff are really nice too!!
