Vanilla Rose provided the flowers for our wedding and we couldn't have been happier. I absolutely loved all of our flowers and floral arrangements (especially my bouquet) and highly recommend them!
Rachael was a superstar from the word go and even helped us to find a new venue when ours closed down due to COVID. She is super knowledgeable and creative and can turn even the vaguest of ideas into beautiful arrangements.
She was lovely to work with (organised and quick to respond) and respectful of the agreed budget. Vanilla Rose also puts a high value on using seasonal and local flowers as well as reducing the environmental impact and waste which is wonderful. Thank you so much Rachael!

Rachel was so helpful from when we booked for our big wedding to when we downsized to just 5 people. Our flowers were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Would highly recommend

The team at vanilla rose completely made our wedding day. They decorated the boat we had as a venue with flowers from top to bottom - wrapped around the poles on the boat, on tables and of course my wonderful bouquet, in dusky pinks and purples. It was absolutely beautiful and Rachael and the team were an complete pleasure to work with. It could not have been more perfect. Especially as they had a very limited timeframe! Wish I could keep my flowers forever.
