Our Team
Sarah
Owner and Operator
Sarah immigrated from rural North-West UK, where her family operated several successful flower shops. She moved to Central PA in 2017 with her husband, Ben, who teaches Mechanical Engineering at Bucknell University.
After establishing her business stateside, Gilly’s Lilies truly took off during the pandemic. Relocating from her home studio to Mifflinburg allowed for significant growth, including the expansion into larger-scale operations like Helix Hall, which now hosts Afternoon Teas and special events in collaboration with Gable House Bakery. In 2025, Sarah continued that growth by opening her curated flower and gift shop, The Gift.
Hannah
Events and Wedding Coordinator
Hannah has worked alongside Sarah for years, assisting with weddings and on-site coordination. As our Wedding & Event Coordinator, she brings genuine care and a keen eye for detail to every celebration. Hannah is an excellent communicator who will support you every step of the way whether it’s managing timelines, answering questions, or handling any last-minute changes with ease.
A proud mom of two (and a devoted dog mom!), Hannah has a true love for flowers. She quickly picked up the tricks of the trade and has since grown that passion into gardening at home.
Bri
Floral Designer
Bri is our freelance floral designer, supporting us with weddings and special events. After graduating from floral design school in Boston, she went on to work alongside some of the industry’s top experts, traveling across the country to design for large-scale weddings and events.
After the pandemic, and ready for a change from city life, Bri returned home to Central PA. She now runs her own flower farm, The GreenSmith, with her mom, Deb, in Selinsgrove bringing a beautiful, locally grown touch to everything she creates.
