"10/10"

From start to finish our experience with Rachel as our wedding florist was 10/10. She listened patiently to us as we described what we wanted (and it became clear we knew very little about flowers!), gave us ideas and showed us examples until we had a plan we were all excited about.

When the bouquets arrived on the morning of the wedding they were even better than my very high expectations - Rachel is incredibly talented and I had so many compliments throughout the day on her stunning arrangements. She didn't pressure us to spend more than the budget we described and gave me and my bridesmaids bouquets of my dreams - I cannot recommend her services highly enough!!

"Delight To Work With"

Rachel was a delight to work with and despite providing a vague brief she executed everything beautifully and perfectly. Couldn't have asked for anything more and if you are looking for a wedding florist I cannot recommend her enough she is amazing!

"Blown Away"

On first meeting Rachel to discuss our vision for our wedding flowers, we were blown away by her professionalism and her personal approach. Rachel was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Always on hand to discuss any new ideas or worries. When Rachel delivered our flowers on the wedding day they were everything we’d imagined and more. We can’t thank her enough.
