Unique stores in Manchester

“I initially came across Lily Arkwright online while searching for a wedding ring for my wife. After seeing a ring I liked, I booked an appointment at the Manchester branch. I had a 15-20 minute meeting with Klaudia who was incredibly helpful in providing information on the different types of diamond rings available and I placed my order. The timescales were a little tight before the wedding and still the ring arrived with plenty of time to spare and I was constantly updated on the progress of the order. The ring was exactly as expected and my wife loved it. We revisited the branch after the wedding for a small size adjustment free of charge and also decided to have the ring engraved. Again, the service was seamless and the ring was delivered again, much earlier than the estimated arrival date. If anyone is considering a ring for a special occasion, I cannot recommend Lily Arkwright enough. Seamless from start to finish and incredible customer service - a flawless experience.”

“I bought my partner’s engagement ring from Steven Stone and have been absolutely delighted with everything.

“Plaza sells fabulous quality jewellery. I have purchased a number of items over the past few years and I am always pleased with the service received from Charlotte and Chris. They both have a keen eye for finding interesting pieces in excellent condition. I saw my recent purchase on their website, a pendant, it looked so lovely in the photographs, which are always clear with multiple shots of the item. When visiting their stand in Harrogate, I was pleased with the quality and the colour of the central stone. I have purchased from their website and the item arrived beautifully packaged and fully insured. I will always recommend Plaza to family and friends.”

“My husband had bought me a fair few of Colette’s designs over the years. When he spotted the silver jubilee clip ring it was a must for us to have to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Colette was happy to set up our request long distance as I was unable to travel, making the rings in good time for our anniversary. We will keep going back, the punk/grunge style with creative flair and skill you just don’t see anywhere else, we love it.”

“We were so excited for our wedding flowers in the lead up to the wedding and they did not disappoint! All communication with Hollie running up to the day was a breeze, even when MOB and MOG couldn't decide what colours they wanted their corsages to be! Nothing was a problem. I've also never seen such an array of flower species all in one bundle before! Hollie also managed to source tulips, in August! (Dutch background, so this was incredible), which we never expected to be possible. Hollie was with us bright and early on the day, gave clear instructions, and set up the venue perfectly. The flowers were so beautiful, we can't thank her enough! We hope to return to Hollie again one day. Huge thank you Jan & Kate Harmens”

Nothing we asked for was too much hassle for the team, from dropping off the Bridal party flowers at the hotel beforehand, to ensuring that the button holes complimented specific outfits.

FROG Flowers, you should be really proud of your attention to detail, something that all our guests noticed, including the quality of your flowers.”

“Really recommend hiring Sarah as a florist! I still remember so well when I first called her and was a little nervous as I was behind hiring the vendors, especially the florist. I felt that she really understood my vision and that I was in really safe hands. The flowers she delivered were beyond gorgeous, which really added so much to the overall beauty of our wedding and really heled us capture the overall autumn theme for the event. The flowers are also really gorgeous on the photos taken by our photographer Jamie. I especially fell in love with the bridal bouquet. Ever since working as a maid in a hotel when a guest left behind a bouquet with white roses and hydrangeas which I got to keep, I've had this dream of having something similar on my own wedding day. This dream was something I also mentioned to Sarah and she brought it to life in such a lovely way that I simply didn't want to let go of the bouquet when it came time to throw it. Thank you, Sarah, for really helping to make our day so much more special and beautiful. Would definitely hire you again!”

“I have just collect my Christmas door wreath for the 3rd year and it is absolutely stunning the attention to detail is outstanding!! The staff are so friendly and helpful I would highly recommend this gorgeous florist”
