The New Florist offering incredible arrangements, events and classes

April 22nd 2026

Taking the leap from Levenshulme to Stockport, eco-friendly florist Sweet Bud Florals has opened its first town centre store at Merseyway Shopping Centre. 

Owned by florist, Olivia Woodward, the shop will add to Stopford’s ever-growing list of kick-ass independents. Using no wasteful or environmentally harmful materials, Olivia offers everything from fresh flowers, houseplants, dried arrangements, vases and same-day and next-day bouquet deliveries.  

Olivia has loads of bloomin’ experience, having worked as a florist for 11 years, she has developed her own unique style that is modern, unusual and artistic. Her work has been featured in sustainable fashion shows, brand activation events, high-profile award ceremonies and even Manchester flower show.  

Alongside her expert floral arrangements, Olivia is sharing her passion for plants through a range of workshops designed for budding florists. These sessions can be enjoyed solo or as a fun activity with friends, offering a creative way to get hands-on with flowers. Whether it’s a playful flower crown workshop, a seasonal wreath-making class, or a more refined bouquet arrangement session, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. 

Her fun, funky style is sure to give an instant serotonin boost, adding a fresh, distinctive flair to every arrangement.
