5 Fantastic Florists in Newcastle

We’ve long been told to ‘say it with flowers’ but what you want to say is up to you – ‘thank you’, ‘I love you’, ‘I’m sorry I ran over your cat’. Buying flowers can also be an act of self-care, to brighten up your day or your home, but not all florists are created equal and we decided to give you a rundown of five of the best florists in Newcastle city centre.

5th Avenue Flowers, Queen Street

This multi-award-winning florist found under the Tyne Bridge has been a fixture in Newcastle for more than 15 years (with an original branch in Team Valley around twice as long). 5th Avenue are as at home providing displays for big events (in fact last year they were Event Florist Of The Year North East) as they are selling you a beautiful bouquet on your way home. They use seasonal and fair-trade suppliers where possible, and English flowers in season, arranged in brown paper ‘eco wraps’, so they’re green in more than one sense!

Katherine’s Florists, Leazes Park Road

Katherine’s Florists have been in the flower game for more than fifty years and it’s a family affair – Katherine’s daughter is the fifth generation of Katherine’s family to work in floristry. As a company, they pride themselves on keeping up with trends and attitudes, both aesthetically and in terms of things like eco-awareness and sustainability. They’ve worked with some top name clients like Dior and Viviene Westwood and can handle big events but also put a lot of emphasis on a personal service, offering flowers for every possible occasion. And of course they deliver.
