This flower shop is in tough competition with Monica Higgins - one of Edinburgh's best florists -…read morejust down the road. However, they appear to be trying to carve out their own market by also offering a range of different vases and urns. The shop itself is pretty big and well stocked, it just doesn't have the rustic beauty that Monica's shop has - where it seems the flowers and the shop have emerged straight from nature. But give Bloemen Ecke a chance, it is more reasonably priced and the vases on offer are unique and interesting. AND let's hope you're a little smarter that me, who has only recently 'got' the pun in the shops name. (hint: it's meant to be like 'Bloomin heck' - a clever flower reference). Too clever for me it seems!

Fantastic florists! We used Bloemen Ecke for our wedding last year and were very pleased with the…read moreservice we received.

Not a whole lot of room for browsing, but they do sell all of the stuff you would expect in a tourist/gift shop, including postcards, cups and glasses, CD's of bagpipers, t-shirts, Scottish flags and kilts.

Williamson Design Florist immediately caught my eye with the beautiful floral display it presents…read moreoutside. From geraniums to orchids, to lillies and back to geraniums, the outdoor display alone was every colour of the rainbow! Prices too were to my liking, with plants beginning at £1.99, climbing to £16.99; not bad at all considering the variety and range. Inside was a similar story, but most of these displats were examples of made to order displays, also reasonable priced. The staff were helpful and friendly and made decding on a style in my price range easy as pie!

I said last time that I'd have no hesitation in going back to Stitch Express and you know what? I…read morehaven't! Since my first review (when I had only been a couple of times) I've had the need to go back to Stitch Express loads. Trousers adjusted, buttons replaced, dry cleaning, button holes made, shirts fixed; you name it, I've had it done. Every time I've been the service, quality and price has been impeccable with all alterations made well within the time promised. Often for smaller fixes and patch jobs they'll do them whilst you wait - who can complain about paying £1 to have a button replaced?! Good job this place exists or I'd look like a regular modern day ragamuffin. If you're on the Haymarket side of town and need some clothes adjust then make a bee line for Stitch Express. Or I'll punch you.

Most people have left good reviews about these guys but I actually didn't have a great experience…read more They are really friendly but I took my wedding dress into them to get altered and when i got it back there was a bleached stain under the arm pit. Luckily nobody will see it because of where it is but still, it wasn't there before. Also the first time I went to pick it up it was as if they didn't do anything to it. They said that there was a problem with the lining and fixed that (I hadn't noticed a problem with it) but I needed it taken in and it was still really big on me. I've ended up taking it in myself. Honestly don't go there. There's far better tailors in Edinburgh more expensive but worth it, especially of it's your wedding dress.
