Meet Rachel Peers, the visionary behind La Beau Fleurs and proof that it's never too late to follow your passion. Before floristry, Rachel built a highly successful career as a Senior Director in the financial services sector. But deep down, she always dreamed of working with flowers. The timing never felt quite right, until it finally did.
At the age of 40, Rachel took the leap and retrained as a florist, fully committing to the world she’d always longed to be part of. Ten years later, Rachel is still smiling every day, having created floral designs for over 400 weddings and countless special moments.
Drawing on her experience running multi-million-pound businesses, Rachel now channels that expertise into her own “little piece of heaven.” Her love for nature, colour and texture made the transition into floral design feel like the most natural step. She knew that at this stage in her life and career, building something local, personal, and community focused was the only path she truly wanted to follow.
Her dream wasn’t just about floristry, it was about creating opportunities. Rachel has made it her mission to employ local talent, support small businesses, and give back to the community that surrounds La Beau Fleurs.
Ask Rachel what she loves most about floristry, and she’ll tell you it’s the magic of it all: the fast pace, the creativity, and the fact that no two arrangements are ever the same. “It’s hard graft,” she says, “but with love, care, creativity, passion, commitment, and integrity—it’s my dream job.”
Thanks to Rachel’s vision, leadership, and heart, La Beau Fleurs isn’t just a flower shop, it’s a thriving, creative space rooted in purpose and passion.
