Rolfe's has been a florist since 1967, and now employs a team of four qualified florists - so when…read moreit comes to experience they definitely have it. They've also kept up with the times, though, and their shop front is modern and cheery, always with a colourful display of their flowers outside, and home to an in-house balloon artist. They provide flowers to suit all occasions, including wedding and civil partnership flowers, bouquets, corporate flowers, unique tributes, sympathy flowers, balloons and flower arrangements. If you'd rather talk to them in your own home, they will arrange a home consultation for you, and they can deliver 6 days a week (Monday to Saturday, 8am to 5pm) - while their relay service means they can also deliver nationally and internationally.

I generally go in there early on Mother's Day and pick something out. Providing I go there at about mid morning there is still a lot to choose from in different styles and colours.

The flower choice is interesting and the florists friendly. I have yet to have them make me a bouquet but will be my next choice when I need one.

Now this is a florist that caters for all aspects across the 'floral' range. On one hand it's a good place to just walk in off the street and pick up some cheap windowsill flowers or some daffodil bulbs. On the other, this is a great place to find some really rare flowers and organise some wonderful bouquets for everything from Mother's Day to bespoke events and occasions. With a delivery service thrown in as well as years of experience, this makes for a great shop.

In Clifton Down Shopping Centre, this place opens up every morning with a fresh array of flowers…read more Despite the harsh artificial light of the shopping centre they still manage to put on a display that brightens up my day as I go past. With card shops and coffee shop chains either side it's a relief to have something natural and unbranded being sold. Also very convenient for apologies, forgotten birthdays, and trying to divert attention away from dirty carpets. You can pay 20 plus for a bunch if you like (and you'll certainly get some nice flowers for that) but you certainly don't have too. I picked up some crocuses for one pound forty and there's plenty of other cheap options. Lloyds is a cheery addition to Clifton Down Shopping Centre and you should be able to find something to suit the size of your wallet.

This is a great florist in Clifton Down Shopping Centre. As they are small they can offer the…read morepersonal touch and great service. Lloyds offers a wide variety of flowers and plants great for any occasion, from plant pots for Mothers Day to beautiful bouquets for Valentine's Day. 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.

A lovely lady who gets some very unusual flowers in from the trade markets - you can also ask her to get you in something specific if you give her enough notice. She also likes to keep seasonal so you see something different each time you go to her stall. My favourite is when she gets the stems of willow with the furry buds on in spring. Her bouquets are modern and delicate, or you can just buy a few stems of things to take home and arrange yourself.

This is the best selection of bespoke bouquets anywhere in the city! They have such an amazing…read moreselection for personal events, like birthdays and weddings. Such incredibly personal service as well, the kind of service you can only get from a company like this. 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.

You can pick up ready-made bouquets for about £20 or ask for something unique for any price. So if your friend hates roses and loves the colour yellow, then they can do a yellow rose-free bunch in a few minutes. 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.

Now the only florist in Staple Hill since Cherri Burrelle moved over to ToHo, I thought I would…read moregive her a go since I needed a bouquet but didn't have the time to get into town or over to Cherri's. There were no ready-made bouquets so I had to have one made up, which only took about 10 minutes, and she listened to what I wanted in terms of flowers and style. The choice of flowers in her shop was weighted over to the gerbera side of things for my taste, and nothing staggeringly interesting or seasonal but as I was after just a traditional feminine bouquet for an older female relation then that didn't really matter. She made me up a pretty bouquet but the wrapping is a little dated. Instead of a free-standing bouquet in clear water I got a green cardboard box which, although highly practical, was a bit ugly. It cost £30 which is average price. I would go back again for traditional arrangements but not for younger friends or those who really know their plants. There is free parking behind the shop for customers which is really handy as the street gets pretty packed. You will find her shop at the far end of the high street - beside the pet shop just before you get to the supermarkets.

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.

Additonally they can tailor to individual requirements.
