Before Flowers of Canterbury was set up a couple of years ago, there was the most dreary and basic…read moreflorist there. It just stocked the English country garden flowers and boring greeting cards with ridiculous prices. But now this little space has been completely overhauled. Beautiful blooms are in ever corner and line the pavement outside. A more diverse range of flowers including natives and tropical mix amongst classic cottage plants like snapdragons and tulips. Flowers of Canterbury is on the cutting edge of floristry. They always have interesting and very artistic displays, and they can create some beautiful bouquets and gifts. Prices are very reasonable, but expect to pay more for the larger and less seasonal flowers (Peony lovers, that's you!). They cater for weddings and corporate events too. The florists are fabulous and very helpful when it comes to finding the perfect flower for an occasion or even just making your mind up with all the different choices. It's always worth having a look at the flowers outside on the pavement. During winter, Flowers of Canterbury had a supply of Daphne in a bucket. You could smell the citrus scent from the other side of the street. Owner Cobi is always friendly and cheerful, and her boutique is filled with warmth, hospitality and beauty.

Too high on the top and awful grey suede leaves that can't go on a cake! One single stem of a Singapore orchid dropped down the side all alone, looking ridiculous and the blooms weren't even open! I asked them to add a couple of flowers but they wouldn't. I asked them for a refund and they said no. I asked them to swap it with a bunch of flowers that cost $40. Less than the cake topper, but they refused. They got the owner on the phone and when I said I wasn't happy and that it didn't look good he said he did it and I was rude. I was so upset by this stage. The girls begrudgingly gave me 3 extra flowers and I had to go home, pull it apart to take out the hideous grey leaves and make it all again myself. Very disappointed in their attitude and service.

Panache has been around for a while now and still seems to be gathering new clientele every time I…read moredrop by. This is a florist that is always busy. When you step inside, it is not hard to see why. Beautiful seasonal flowers can be found here for reasonable prices. What I like about Panache is that they don't just cater to the oldies and offer them English cottage garden bouquets, there are also exotic orchids and funky native blooms in various bright hues. They aren't the most artistic with their floral creations, and I would recommend heading to a more specialized florist for big occasions like weddings, but for a great bunch of flowers at a decent price - Panache is fine.

I had a lovely experience with In Full Bloom when trying to organise some flowers for a friends engagement, the staff helped me to choose a perfect selection of flowers that were specific to my friends taste as she loves lilies but I wasn't sure what else! They also organised delivery for me so it was a lovely surprise. In Full Bloom can organise arrangements for weddings, corporate events and functions of any kind. Even if not buying flowers as a gift it is well worth wandering in store just for a bit of positive energy.

Tribal Rose has been on the Smith Street scene since 1996, becoming an institution alongside other…read morebusinesses on the trendy street. I like having a look in here because the range of blooms and how they fill the space always impresses me. While it may not be my favourite florist for making artistic and bold pieces, I really enjoy taking my time and stopping to have a look and sniff around - something that the florists happily let me do. Sometimes when you go into a florist you can feel pressured to buy something, but I've never felt that at Tribal Rose. Most of the times I have been there it's a hive of activity and the florists are busy working their magic, and running around helping out customers. The last time I visited Tribal Rose they had some beautiful orchids for sale in the front, and I remember having a chat with one of the florists about keeping them alive (something that I struggle to do). She gave me some really good advice about watering and feeding them, and even though it was busy I could tell she was genuinely happy to let me in on a few secrets. It is experiences like that one that make Tribal Rose such a success.

The delightful little shopfront, painted green with lovely rustic timber floors, never fails to offer a vast range of seasonal blooms for a fabulous price. Buckets of fresh, colourful flowers are gathered on the footpath out front, which are often small, but as cheap as $5 a bunch - perfect for a smaller, yet still lovely, gesture. Inside, the walls are lined with breath taking local and rare imported florals, allowing you to choose your own customised arrangement for that special occasion. If you're not feeling so creatively inspired, the lovely team at Tribal Rose is there to deliver sound advice and knowledge on all things 'flowers'. The experienced florists, headed by wedding specialist Camilla Pinkney, can create the most stunning, beautifully crafted floral bouquets for anyone's special day. A colleague of mine recently had her wedding flowers provided by Tribal Rose and was thrilled with the service.

The ladies who work here are really in-the-know about everything flowers orientated. I jog past here everyday and when the occasion arose for birthday flowers i stopped by and was surprised by the range and the prices. They have a lot of specials on the flowers, you can pick up two bunches of flowers starting from $10. They also deliver Australia-wide!!
