IT ALL STARTED WITH A LOVE FOR FLOWERS

Hello! I am so happy you are here, let me tell you a little bit about myself.

Elderflower Florist was established in 2019 by me - Rachel McGill, beginning as a quite love for flowers in my home town of New Plymouth, New Zealand. What started as small floral moments shared online slowly grew into something deeper. In 2024, the same year I became a mother to my daughter Flora, I also chose to fully step into wedding floristry. That season of life reshaped how I see beauty - slower, softer and more intentional. Elderflower is a reflection of that journey. Rooted in storytelling, emotion and creating florals that feel deeply personal.

Our focus is wedding florals, deigning luxury arrangements that have impact and complete your dream day. Meeting with couples, hearing what they love and how they want their day to feel and creating romantic timeless florals.

To me, flowers are more then something that looks pretty, flowers are a sensory experience. Smell, texture, colour, movement. They will forever hold memories of your special day.

I have worked all around New Zealand freelancing for weddings and Events working alongside talented florists from all around.

If you are after more information, you have an upcoming wedding, you need a bouquet or you just want to hang out and soak up past floral moments. Please feel free to contact me, I would love to hear from you!
