Being in Chicago I had to google in the middle of the night to try to find a florist who might be able to send flowers from us for that same day in Edinburgh, and Valentine's Day too no less! Google said "Open 24 hours" with a 5-star rating. Well, true to their word, Katrina answered the phone at 4:30 in the morning, half asleep and guaranteed that she would not disappoint us. Within just hours, on the busiest day of the florist business, Katrina delivered!!! Wow, I've never experienced customer service like that before!!! The flowers were perfect and stunning.

Their floral arrangements were…read moreabsolutlystunning, and they delivered them straight to our door that morning by a very kind staff member. As we were marrying from out of the country, the ease with which we were able to get our florals chosen and delivered was invaluable. They are fairly priced, organized and have a real eye for color and texture. For the color schemes, we chose an "Islay" bridal bouquet and "Iona" buttonholes, combs and bridespeople bouquets. Thank you for helping our wedding day turn out so perfectly! (Photos by Meggy Mac Photography)

I discovered Narcissus Flowers on Instagram when choosing vendors for my wedding. I immediately…read morewas blown away by the beauty of their work- it's like no florist I've ever seen in the US. I love that they are a local small business and every time I see a post from them I immediately get "heart eyes." I wish I could visit their shop in person because it looks breathtaking, and I'd also love to take some of their beginning classes in floristry. Fiona was our florist for our wedding, and I will mostly just let the photos of her work speak for themselves. Absolutely breathtaking. I requested a colorful bouquet with a lot of texture, scottish thistle boutonnieres, lantern centerpieces, and a beautiful flower shop style setting for our ceremony. Fiona delivered and then some. I think flowers in the UK are just better and of more variety than in the US, and the eye for floral artistry is just infinitely better. I showed Fiona a photo of a tropical bouquet (my original wedding was tropical.. it's a long story) that was my dream bouquet. It had a lot of color and some beautiful trailing ribbons. Fiona ordered the most amazing hand-dyed silk ribbons from Heirloom Silk Ribbons.. they added such a wonderful boho touch to my bouquet, and made the bouquet just that much more special. I personally have an obsession with attention to detail, and Fiona's attention to detail was just so incredible. To top it off, there was a mishap with the original geometric terrariums she had planned to use for my centerpiece, and while I was completely fine with the suggested changes, she went over the top and made even larger, more extravagant centerpieces for me to make up for it. Oh my gosh.. they were just so stunning. I originally was going to go minimal on the flowers because they can be so expensive, but I found even these high end florals from Narcissus to be so affordable and absolutely worth every penny. My husband was skeptical, as a man who doesn't fully understand the draw of flowers.. but when he saw what Narcissus created for us, he knew that every detail and every penny was absolutely worth it and then some. I think in the US, flowers such as these would have been 2 or 3 times the price, and would have come along with some pretty rude service. I cannot recommend Narcissus flowers highly enough. Stunning is the best word I can use to describe Narcissus. They are truly a one-of-a-kind shop, and when I see what they are posting it instantly makes me feel good. That's what flowers should be- they of course don't last forever, but that feeling they give you when you are admiring their beauty is absolutely worth it. Flowers, especially of this high caliber, just bring pure joy and beauty.

If you ever need chocolate or flowers. This is the place to come!…read more Harvest Garden has been in Morningside, for forever it seems. They do beautiful displays of flowers immediately outside the shop, and in the windows. For me, the reason to go here. Chocolate! Harvest Garden is the only Scottish, if not UK stockist of Laura Secord. These are gorgeous chocolates that I first had in Canada. Beware, these are not cheap! In season, they sell chocolate figs. These are handmade in someone's house in Spain. Basically, it is a fresh fig that has chocolate fondant in the middle, then they are foil wrapped. That description could never do them justice though. I am always guaranteed to find what I want here for birthdays, christmas etc. There is a good range of chocolate stocked, and a price to suit all pockets. I haven't made it to the handmade chocolate counter yet though.....

Normally I like M&S flowers or Waitrose by delivery as they last and are good quality but M&S flowers were looking poor today. I remembered Arkadius on Rose Street. I had a peek in and liked the flowers I saw - they all looked fresh and bright and not at all scabby. My request was simple, £20 worth of flowers in water and the colours were to be pinks and purples. The bouquet made up was lovely. Roses, Gerberas, Carnations, lisianthus and a couple of other types I don't know the name for. Lots of flowers and a nice balance of greenery. My bouquet was made up right away and is a decent size. I would use Arkadius again - lovely flowers to suit my budget (with no attempt to make me spend more than my student budget allows) so well worth a visit.

Perhaps Charmed and Buffy saw that trend flying into my high school, and I distinctly remember my then best friend's room looking not unlike this shop. Shops like Enchantment are becoming fewer and further between, but it's nice that this one still does well. There are little pewter ornaments of delicate garden sprites, elves and fairies lining the shelves of this place, and dangling from the ceiling in abundance. If you're into pixies, healing stones and a touch of magic, then you'll like it. My mum likes ornaments like these and it's a great wee resource not too far from the Royal Mile if you're looking for an impish wee pressie.
