Located just a stone's throw from the plush Lunns jewellers I assume they're hoping to capitalise on any brides/grooms or wedding planners that may be passing. Inside the rather stark white interior there are several rather impressive flower displays and a couple of well stocked gift cabinets. Being in on a Saturday afternoon the shop was already quite busy and the staff were kept on their toes with plenty of requests for help and advice. Pros: Elegant shop, attentive staff. Cons: Pricey pricey.

In need of a bouquet of flowers for my partners Mum's birthday today, we popped in here and were…read morepleasantly surprised by the exquisite interior and even better service! The girl working in here immediately seen to us and asked what we were after. We pointed to the beautiful bouquet's placed in bags/boxes and asked about prices. They started at £20 and went up as far as £40. We decided to go for £30 and she asked if we wanted her to make it up there and then-which we did! I must say, watching her work was really mesmerising and she mad it look so easy! The flowers were like a representation of Autumn! They were orange, red, deep purple and rust coloured. Truly gorgeous. I have to say this is definitely my new favourite place to go for flowers! Really job well done!

Floral Earth is from another planet in terms of its flowers and its service (beg pardon for the pun!). Set up and run by Tim Kirkpatrick some ten years ago, Floral Earth has become a must-use service from one off purchases to weddings and funerals. Tim is very ably assisted by his team, including the redoubtable Neil (his dad) and together they make the world of cut flowers a better place. My sister-in-law once ordered flowers online for me (she lives in NewcastleUpon Tyne) and I knew they were from Foral Earth the second I clpped eyes on them. I swear, they are to flowers what Jo Malone is to scents. If you have a special occasion coming up , or want to thrill someone with flowers, ou really must call in, or at least visit their really rather lovely website.

My partner ordered flowers from Reid's Florists for my birthday and paid an extra fee to have them…read moredelivered in the morning on my birthday. They delivered three days in advance, I was absent from home, so my flowers stayed rotting for three days without care. By the time I arrived, and expected to receive fresh flowers, the water in the vase was all dirty, and as a result, no fresh morning flowers as an expected gift. Very upsetting. I asked for a refund of the extra fee they charged, but they disagreed, as it "would be too complicated".

This is the sort of shop that wants everyone to be a bit of a smooch but unfortunately most people are men so chances are they aren't ever going to be that busy. It is a shame because they have a whole selection of flowers from cheaper bouquets to huge corporate displays, and they specially make flowers for you if you want. It never seems that busy which is unfortunate but it is a terrific little shop and definately worth a visit.

They exceeded my expectations in every way! My daughter and I have a very dear cousin in Belfast. We wanted to send her a bouquet of flowers, from each of us, for her birthday. I couldn't find my usual go-to florist and picked Norah Mitchell's due to their photographs, and price. I live in California and my daughter and her family live on the east coast. Vicki was wonderful to deal with on email and Carolyn was very kind and helpful on the phone. Flower arrangements were lovely and very affordable. Even my daughter remarked how beautiful and affordable her arrangement was. We highly recommend them and will be using them again during the upcoming Christmas holiday! I am attaching photos of the flowers we sent.

I still go back for a lovely bunch of flowers every so often, but if you've got a wedding or big event, they are a safe pair of hands!

But, hey - it comes close, the owners here are well informed about kerb appeal and getting the passing custom in the shop - the doors are flung open to the daylight, and the flowers seem to spill out onto the street on the ground and on tables and displays, they really do make you want to just buy them for their beauty, even if you don't have a celebration or a gift to buy for someone. The prices are reasonable too, and the little flower plants in pots are very cute as well as the blooms and bouquets that I saw being put together. Really lovely shop.

Did not realise how important flowers were for a wedding until Jill Edwards arranged the flowers…read morefor my wedding!! They initially did a really good consultation with the lovely florist Helen in the shop, I knew immediately I had picked the right place, Helen knew exactly what I wanted. On the day of the wedding they delivered and set up fabulous displays at my venue, a beautiful altar arrangement and stunning arrangements that were attached and hung on the tall candlestick holders at either side of the alter, lots of my guests commented on how amazing the flowers were. Jill Edwards could not do enough to help me, this was fantastic and took a lot of stress out of the preparations. On the morning of the wedding they also delivered the bouquets and button holes, they were out of this world!!! So delighted with the service and all the flowers that were organised, the bouquets had Guilder Roses, Akito Roses Rosemary, Fennel Thlaspi Green Bell Eryngium, Peony Roses, Eucalyptus and Lily Grass, they looked and smelt Devine!! The mother of the groom and bride loved their bunches they got at the speeches and both commented on how fresh and how long they lasted. Could not recommend this place enough!!!

It was for a friend's birthday and she seems to be one of the very few people in my age group who are still impressed with the very traditional gift of a bunch of flowers. I really do not know my way around a chrysanthemum or a rhododendron (in fact I'm not sure if those particular varieties are even bought from florists - by the way I think the former looks an awful lot like a dandelion which, I understand grows all by itself....) I ended up picking up an already arranged bouquet comprising of varieties of tulips of varying colours, sizes and stem lengths. It was £12 which I've been told is quite reasonable, to be honest I have little to compare it to but I was content and my friend was overwhelmed. Job done.

It provides a scenic shortcut from Royal Avenue to Fountain Street. The Arcade is home to Lunns Jewelers, Queens Bar as well as McKay's Old School sweet shop.

I've heard people say that the only time they use Queens Arcade is when it's raining but I would encourage you to take a few moments out of your day and slowly amble through the Arcade, if only to look up and admire the architecture.
