Jemma helpfully reommended a plant arrangement with some orchids and I took a shine to the style of the Pure and Simple arrangement on the website. Jemma took it from there and created a truly dazzling arrangement with fresh flowers on the day of delivery and which were received with delight. It makes such a refreshing change to see real creativity and flair in this industry rather than just seeing the same old arrangements trotted out. Will certainly use again.

This is another strong contender in my obsession with finding the best florists in Manchester. It…read morelooks like I'm not the only one who agrees, as this shop won the Silver Award for Excellence of Best Flower Shop of the Year in 2007. I've rarely seen such attention to detail, and such unusual pairings of blooms from seasonal Dutch and British flowers making the most exquisite bouquets. It isn't the cheapest florist in the world, but these flowers as fairly traded, and if there's one gift I personally think you shouldn't scrimp on, it's well-presented flowers. Another thing that I like about this place is that they make sure to be environmentally friendly, composting out green waste and recycling waste paper and cardboard. And any place that has my favourite cupcakes (from local shop Sweet Tooth Cupcakery) is an absolute winner for me!

Fleur de Vie tends to produce quite contemporary bouquets. Although I'm sure they could make up something more traditional if you asked, the modern presentation of their flowers makes them something different and just a little bit more special if you ask me. The prices aren't cheap but aren't extortionate either. You can expect to pay a little more here than you might at another florist but it's worth it for the quality of flowers you'll receive as well as the stylish and chic presentation. The staff are friendly and are always happy to oblige in creating a bouquet to your specifications. Definitely worth a visit whether you're looking to treat yourself or spoil someone else.
