ABOUT


Open Lilies ready for a luxury event in East Sussex

Working from a barn studio in the hills of the Sussex Weald, Rachel and The Mirror & The Veil team collaborate on events throughout Sussex, Kent and Surrey, into London and across England.

We often work with clients planning their weddings from abroad, collaborating with their chosen planners and venue team for a seamless and enjoyable process.

We value our clients, their story and their vision. Inspiration often springs from the stories you share with us, the venue you choose, or the memory or comment made in passing. 

With a background in Music and a love of our world, Rachel’s approach is human-centred and considered, creating designs that are expressive, experiential and memorable.


Testimonials

Working with Rachel on our wedding flowers was really such a dream. I had very little idea of what actual blooms I wanted in our flowers, but a very strong idea of colour and feel, and Rachel took the reins and managed to perfectly translate my vision from my extensive mood-board into reality. We ended up using flowers that my grandparents grew in their summer house when I was a child, so there was an added layer of sentimental value in addition to the beauty of the arrangements. This made the whole experience feel both personal and strongly rooted in the aesthetic. We chose to work with Rachel because from the very first meeting, we had a strong feeling that she cared deeply about both our wedding and her artistry. We had a clear vision of our wedding and wanted to choose vendors that would take our initial ideas and expand upon them using their own expertise and creativity. We felt that Rachel really wanted to work with us and collaborate in this way so it was a perfect match and we couldn’t have been happier!

Working with Rachel was an absolute dream from start to finish. Even when I struggled to articulate the exact tone and vision I had in mind, she seemed to understand it more clearly than I did. She took the few ideas I brought and turned them into something truly breathtaking. Rachel’s eye for colour, the palette we chose, and the overall aesthetic she crafted for our day felt so perfectly us - elegant, thoughtful, and completely unforgettable. What stood out most was how completely we felt we could trust her. Rachel’s not just a florist, she’s an artist, and it showed in every conversation, every suggestion, and every floral piece she created. The whole process felt easy, inspiring, and genuinely collaborative. On the day itself, seeing the flowers she designed was one of the most magical moments - we were blown away.

From the very beginning, Rachel approached the design with the eye of an artist, taking the time to understand my personality, cultural background, and love of textiles…We chose Rachel as our florist because from the first conversation it was clear that she approaches her work with a rare combination of artistry and genuine curiosity about her clients. Our florals felt both deeply personal and undeniably artistic. We couldn’t have imagined anyone else capturing our story so beautifully.
