Top 30 Best Must visit shops in Manchester

“I have visited The Little Green Flower Company on a number of occasions and also bought their wreath making kit over Christmas time. This is a fabulous business and I would have no hesitation in recommending a visit and an order. The shop has a wonderful selection of homeware items as well as flowers. Georgia really goes the extra mile to help you when you are in the shop. As someone running events I’ll definitely be back!”

“Red are absolutely incredible!!!! I cannot recommend them enough. I had a meeting with Vicky and gave her a few ideas that I had - She completely ran with it and turned my very few ideas (that seemed very mismatched) into a dream come to life!!! Once I saw the proposal, I knew it was going to be magical but, no words can describe how magnificent it actually looked on the day. I'm so happy I picked Red and people couldn't stop talking about how amazing it all looked. Thank you for making our wedding so special!”
