My future mother in law is a retired florist and recently I was asking her to recommend a good…read moreflorist as I wanted to get a nice bouquet delivered to my friend who had just had a baby. She very highly recommended Floral Designs in Bangor. As I don't live in Bangor I was quite surprised that she recommended somewhere away from where I live - their reputation is that good she told me. I rang up and made a telephone order for a bouquet with the total value of 25 pounds including delivery. I didn't get to see the order but the woman on the phone asked my lots of questions about the flowers I like and the colours I would prefer. I was very impressed and was willing to give them business purely on her telephone manner. My friends flowers arrived the next day and she was delighted, she mentioned that the bunch was massive and the smells were exquisite. I've since been in the shop itself and it is just as nice inside as I thought it would be. I received an efficient and friendly service and was conveniently able to pay over the phone. My friend was pleased and so was I - a good recommendation altogether.

For a florist in the middle of town this place is hard to beat…read more Walk in from the main street passed lots of pots and even huge urns at over 200 quid. The plants and flowers are stored under a massive glass roof which gives it a hothouse effect - it was scorching the last day I was in. There is a large selection of real flowers as well as fake plants. The garden ornaments, wind chimes and decorations are beautiful but quite expensive. Anything you need for your garden, I could almost swear you would find it here. Out the front there is a gift store filled with toys and jewels and candles. At Christmas it is like a little Santa's grotto filled with internal and external ornaments for the home. I love it at Christmas time.

From time to time I have annoyed and upset the woman in my life, it was usually not my fault as all…read moreI wanted to do was watch the football or the test match and she got upset that I wanted to do that rather than hang out with her. When this happened I always think getting her a bunch of flowers is a good way to get back onside. I have got my lady flowers out of here and I thought the service and price were excellent. This wee shop is in a lovely area of Bangor with plenty of other shops, bistros and cafés about so you can pop in here and then go get a bite to eat while you are waiting for them to finish your bouqet or bunch of flowers to be finished and prepared. You can get flowers here for weddings and funerals as well as to make up for being a bad boyfriend. Great prices, good service and a local business that should be well supported if you have the chance. Excellent stuff.

I remember back in the day this cosy little outlet used to be Ballyholmes premier coffee shop but…read morenow as if by magic it is Ballyholme's best florists. It sells beautiful flower arrangements and puts together bouquets for any occasion. Donna from the Flower Box made the flower arrangements for my sisters wedding 5 and she made such an impression that on every wedding anniversary my sisters husband, the old romantic, goes back to The Flower box and buys her a bouquet. The Flower Box operates and quick delivery service and this may be why they provide local businesses with their flowers. The shop itself is tiny and if you have hay fever I would bring your tissues because the pollen count is through the roof!

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!

First of all, why aren't there more reviews for this fabulous florist?! Frankly I don't think the…read moreIrish post many reviews if at all! Well I am over the moon finding Norah Mitchell's Flowers! 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.

They were extremely knowledgeable, knew how to deliver my vision and suggested great cost saving alternatives, when I went over the budget. On my wedding day they delivered everything on time and as promised. It was soo hassle free and one less thing to worry about. 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!

She was extremely creative and worked off of very little guidance from me. My bridal bouquet was incredible (people are still talking about it). She made the groom and groomsmen floral pocket squares that they absolutely loved. She was very innovative in how to use the florals from the ceremony for the reception as well. I could not recommend House of Elliott Flowers more!

Incredibly creative and stylish. Don't go past these guys if you want your wedding or event to look…read moreabsolutely beautiful, they did a fantastic job with ours. Firstly we had a private meeting with the main florist Karen, who talked us through options and showed us different styles of flowers, bouquets, arrangements and colour palates. She took lots of time and helped us make the right choices according to our budget and needs. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff in general were all very obliging and helpful any time we called in to make a payment or emailed to ask a question. They liaised with the Church independently and took all the work and responsibility out of our hands. The peony arrangements in the church were commented on by everyone and I absolutely loved my bouquet - I didn't put it down all day. Stylish, modern and sophisticated in a nutshell. Not cheap though!

I have to say, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to flower shops. In fact, I rarely wander into…read moreone, namely because they make me sneeze, but also because I've never had to buy flowers for anyone. Sad I know. So, with all this in mind, I have to be honest as to my purpose in visiting Floral Creations... It was the 'Gift Room Upstairs' sign that caught me. I'm a sucker for little gift stores like this, and I just could not resist. So, sniffing in the delightful scents that pervade a store such as this, I dandered through the downstairs section (not before I was greeted by the lovely, lovely flower lady behind the counter, who made such an effort to say hello whilst in mid-flow of another conversation with a customer, she has to be applauded). Upstairs was just as I'd imagined. A plethora of wedding gifts, baby gifts, toiletries, cute lamps, those wonderfully wise sayings in sign form (such as "I like my money where I can see it, hanging in my wardrobe), scented candles and other goodies. I picked up a small bag of pot pourri (ooooh the smell), and, noting it was handmade in Co Down, turned it on its top. I nearly collapsed at the price (well, I would have had I not been kneeling) for such a small bag...£4.99! But smelt so good - Mulberry Meadow was the name, and it lived up to every inch of its name. Stuff it, £4.99 it was... The delightful sales lady was even more delightful when I went downstairs to purchase my pot pourri, especially when I couldn't find my purse, began searching frantically for it, and then discovered it to be under my arm. Apparently that happens when you're older, not at 22. Whoopsies. The Mulberry Meadow was beyond beautiful when I opened the bag at a later stage. Ah yes, that stunning scent almost obliterated all thoughts of price. Almost...

Where does the self-satisfaction of being in the right come into it when it's bedtime? Nowhere, that's where. Off to the florists.

The guy that runs it is very nice and welcoming and the food and coffee is pretty decent across the board (scones!!). Also it has a nice atmosphere and is a good place to sit. It is affectively a conservatory that bright and airy and now since Corona pushing more outdoor spaces there are nice picnic tables outside to enjoy in the good weather!

My friend had a large slice of quiche which had a complete chicken breast on top while I had salmon with chilli sauce. These came with a selection of excellent salads and were delicious. The items on the menu are also available in the farm shop inside the store. The conservatory is unfortunately somewhat lacking in atmosphere (hence 4 and not 5 stars) but I was assured that this will change with developments planned for the future. It is very well worth a visit.
