Rachel is the most lovely and talented person you could have for your wedding. Trust me, she is amazing, patient, kind and really listens to what you would like and also has great ideas to get the most out of your flowers on the day. Everybody complimented us on the flowers, it was all stunning, from the ceremony pieces to the bouquets. I would not have changed a thing. Once we have the pics I will upload some here. It was magical and a fairytale and Rachel was my flower fairy godmother!!

Our wedding flowers by Rachel and the team at March Hare were simply spellbinding and added real atmosphere, and beautiful colour, to our day. We couldnt recommend Rachels highly professional and creative service enough.

Thank you SO much to Rachel and the team for the most wonderful flowers for our wedding in October. The flowers were a real highlight of our more intimate wedding day, and we (and our guests) couldnt get over how amazing they looked (and smelt)!! The service Rachel provided was outstanding we had originally planned a much larger wedding in April with Rachel, and she was always so understanding when our plans changed (many times) and a real joy to work with. We cant wait to work with Rachel again for our bigger wedding party in the future!

Absolutely stunning flowers for our daughters wedding. Well worth every penny. I can not thank Rachel enough for her help in making our day as memorable as possible - even in these crazy times. We changed our order several times ( even 2 days before the actual date) and was always met with complete friendly professionalism. I would recommend wholeheartedly.

Rachel was really quick at responding to my queries and questions and reassuring me everything was going to be perfect and totally got my vision for the day. The set-up was seamless, I didn't need to do anything and she had everything in total control. Our foliage arch was beautiful, deep wonderful colours. My bouquet was stunning, even better than I had imagined and the buttonholes were wonderful. The
