It may be over a century old, but the flowers at this pitch in the heart of the city centre are as…read morefresh as fresh can be. The blooms and bouquets from here are radiant and fragrant and always bring a smile to my face on even the gloomiest of Brummie days. This is an ideas stall. This place invents lovely combinations of flowers to give as gifts, and seems to change the bouquets designs daily - just to keep things as fresh as its flowers. However, it also does the classics perfectly. How many Brummies have heard the words 'I love you' accompanied by a Sutton Flower's single red rose? At certain times of the year things become a little different. Easter sees blooms that reflect the festivities, and at Christmas it's also possible to get gifts, cards and wrapping paper. I like to visit just after work, when Birmingham is winding down after a long day. This is when there are bargains to be had, as Sutton Flowers sells off the day's stock ready to start afresh the next day. Put simply, Sutton Flowers is a little ray of sunshine in a busy corner of Brum.

This spectacular little florist is so elegant you'll not want to leave…read more Located on the ground floor of the ICC complex, the fragrance draws you in. They have a lovely selection of beautiful flowers, vases, and small gifts. As you walk in you'll notice a large glass fridge with big fresh flowers kept inside. The service in here is well above and beyond. Jo is the manager and is very friendly, happy to answer any question that you may have. They cater for weddings, exhibitions, dinner dances, events..... and so on. They are also part of the NEC, so have no problem fitting out for large exhibitions. The website is being updated, and gift vouchers are available through E-florist. Opening hours are 9am-6pm mon-fri, and 10-5pm on a Saturday.

I pass this florist on a regular basis but unusually when it is closed. So the other week, noticing…read moreit was still open, I popped in to see what they have on offer. They have all the usual florist type stock, cut flowers and bouquets but other stock a lot of wreaths and items for funerals. I guess this is because they are situated next to Yardley Cemetery and Crematorium. I bought some basic cut flowers which lasted around a week. The stock is pretty basic but of good quality.

Inside there are even more cut flowers but also a small card and gift section. It is the range of flowers I was so impressed with: fresh sunflowers and peonies along with things I didn't even recognise or know the name of. However, the flowers and stock doesn't seem cheap - £2.50 for one sunflower isn't exactly competitive when compared to city centre flower stalls. The staff were very friendly and helpful so perhaps for a special occasion it would be worth the extra money.

Bloomin Lovely are based on Walsall Road in Great Barr and has gained a reputation for supplying…read morehand tied bouquets. They offer flowers and cater for the following services: corporate, hotels/bars, events/parties, weddings etc. The Florist uses the highest quality Colombian, Dutch and English flowers to create quality arrangements to suit your needs. What a combination of nationalities hey! Bloomin Lovely also deliver flowers and you can choose a delivery day and time. In terms of the areas where Bloomin Lovely deliver flowers, they deliver to the postal areas of B42, B43, B44, B23, B20, B70 and some areas in Walsall. I did find the shop to be way crammed and it was no surprise some of the flowers were placed outside. I also found the flowers to be expensive so I don't think I will be coming back here. Have to say the shop owner was very friendly.

The lady was very helpful and flowers got delivered well in time. When I arrived at the house of the bereaved and saw the flowers are was very impressed. They were lovely and I felt I got good value for money. From my experience I would definitely reccomend.

A great little florist in the Piccadilly Arcade, the aptly-named Petals of Piccadilly is the…read moreperfect stop for anyone looking to find that perfect token for that special someone or to decorate a larger scale event. Both my brother and I have treated mom to a pretty bouquet of posies for her birthday and Mother's Day, but that's small-scale. As well as elaborate, decorative bouquets for those times you really want to splash out, I'd recommend this cute independent to bridezillas planning their special day as one friend was really pleased with the lilies she requested for her post-nuptial reception. Turnaround is quick and the staff are really pleasant and helpful, offering advice and suggestions to someone like me who hasn't got a clue where flowers are concerned. The only drawback is you might forget it's there if you don't often walk down the Arcade - so hopefully this review has pointed it out to you!

Petals of Piccadilly is Birmingham's little secret, and a great hidden gem in our city…read more It's the first time I have been in here and the shop is just brilliant, the displays in the window are dazzling. Both wonderfully decorated and well cared for, many florists should take note. They cover any occasion that you may have requiring flowers. They offer bridal and wedding services, contracts for flower arrangements, handmade bespoke flower arrangements, gifts, toys and teddies to accessorise, and even have a licence to sell champagne and wine! A perfect little shop with friendly and enthusiastic customer service.

Oh dear - I'm sorry that this is such a generic name for what is a really lovely stall - but there…read moreis a good reason. A couple of days ago I brought a really nice mixed bunch of flowers from this place for about six quid. The chap who runs the stall (who is ever so nice) didn't have any change so said he'd have to owe me one (cheeky wink) and I smiled and mumbled something about 'holding him to that' and walked away and thought to myself a) what a nice bunch of flowers b) I should really write about this place So I decided I would take a photo and then maybe pop back and have a chat with him to find out his company name etc. Unfortunately as I was taking said photo the bloke shot me a really sad look - I think he thought I was so cheesed off that he'd not been able to give me my 5p change that I was somehow logging him for future reference, so instead of going over and explaining I jumped on the nearest Harborne bound bus. To cut a long, not very interesting story short I'm not sure what the stall is called but I do know it's just by The Great Western Arcade and outside Sainsbury's and it's worth getting flowers from it because they last for ages. Plus he does really decadent looking bouquets of sunflowers and lillies rather than the usual bedraggled bunches of carnations that you might get at the bigger supermarkets. And if you do see him, tell him not to worry about that 5p!
