A photo may be worth a thousand words, but flowers can be used to say exactly what you are feeling. Whether it’s to show your love, celebrate the love of others, to make up for something you shouldn’t have done, or simply to treat yourself, we've rounded up the five best florists in Manchester that you should visit… especially with Mother’s day right round the corner…
Northern Flower
58 Tib Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, M4 1LG
Northern Flower is nestled deep in the heart of the Northern Quarter. Known for its “potting-shed style” boutique, full of curious plants in even curiouser containers, Northern Flower is the place to go if you’re looking for bouquets that can be different or elaborate. With inexpensive trinkets, simple bouquets and terracotta pots, that is not to say that those looking for something more traditional will go home empty handed. Yet, with beach bunting garlands and homemade Gargoyle heads created by up and coming and local artist Amber Sanchez, if you’re looking for something special, Northern Flower is the place for you.
Flower Style
Sunlight Street, Quay Street, Manchester, M3 3JZ
With over twenty years of experience behind them, Flower Style pride themselves on their incredible range of flowers on offer. Taking in daily deliveries from all around the world, Flower Style provide all the fresh flower and plant materials you could ever need. Though it is their hand-tied bouquets that are most popular, they also have a top team of floral designers that “love nothing more than a challenge” so whether its single stem, or an elaborate vase display, they have you covered. If you’re looking for a gift that may last a little longer, their candle and diffuser range from NEOM Organics will help to make your home smell heavenly.
David Wayman
The Avenue, Spinningfields, Manchester, M3 3HF
If you have visited a hotel, office, bar or restaurant in Manchester anytime recently, it is very likely that you will have come across some of David Wayman’s work, as he has been an esteemed florist in the area for the past decade. Due to his flourish and eye for design, he has been chosen to work for a number of high-profile clients, including celebrity weddings, awards ceremonies, galas and even by Royal Appointment! Quality is at the heart of his service, both in his flowers and customer service, and as they say; if you can’t see what you’re looking for, just ask; “...anything is possible."
The Flower Lounge (By Sian Wild)
98 Barlow Moor Road, Didsbury, Manchester, M20 2PN
Lilies and Roses a-plenty, The Flower Lounge offers a wide range of gifts, with flowers sourced from high quality British and Dutch suppliers. They offer bouquets, artisan candles and award-winning chocolates, amongst others. If you’re looking for something a little more hands on, Sian Wild runs Flower workshops, where you can learn to make bouquets for yourself. Don’t just take my word for it - they not only won ‘Wedding Florist of the Year’ in 2017, but ‘Best Wedding Florist in the North-West’ three years in a row, as well as the highly acclaimed ‘Florist Association Flower Shop of the Year’ in 2018.
