A new independent florist has opened in Stockport town centre.

Sweet Bud opened in September and has quickly established itself in a cosy location at 16 Merseyway, festooned with colour and sweet with floral fragrance.

Headed up by founder Liv Woodward, Sweet Bud specialises in a wide range of beautiful flowers, plants and accessories.

You can walk in and pick up a small bunch for an informal occasion, or you can arrange delivery of a plethora of choice picks for an upcoming event - think weddings, birthdays, launch events, and more.

Originally based out of a studio in Levenshulme, the business has made a name for itself working with clients such as the BBC, Penguin Publishing, Old Trafford cricket ground, and more.

And that's in addition to a host of smaller family events across Stockport and Greater Manchester.

And the business boasts a flawless five-star rating on Google reviews.

Liv says her mission is "to boost moods, create art and provide a sustainable choice of floristry in Manchester".

"Our style is modern, unusual, artistic and eco-conscious", she said.

Indeed, Sweet Bud works to be as eco-friendly as possible in its sourcing and packaging.

It means that when you buy flowers from here they don't come swaddled in unnecessary plastic or floral brick, which can be harmful to the environment.

And as well as flowers, Sweet Bud also offers a lovely range of vases to display your new purchases in.

Victoria Nichol, centre manager at Merseyway, said: "The arrival of a high-quality independent florist will further enhance our tenant mix and demonstrates the growing strength of Stockport's retail offer.

"This letting reflects the appeal of the newly improved open-air section of the centre, which continues to attract both national brands and distinctive independents."

You can find Sweet Bud at 16 Merseyway, next-door to Christopher Brown.

The shop is open from 9am-5.30pm on Monday to Saturday, and 10.30am to 4.30pm on Sunday.
