Centerpieces

Here are some sweet and simple cube centerpieces we did for a wedding dinner.
The bride found a picture in a magazine of a similar arrangement
and we re-created it to fit her budget.

It was wonderful to take simple elements and create something so sweet.
A perfect February arrangement!

Glass Projects

So, I have been seeing all over craft blogs these past few months how to make your own hurricanes to use as candle holders, vases, and holiday decor. Some of them have been so absolutely adorable, that I just had to try them myself and see if they were as easy as all these cute crafters claim to be.

I picked up some glass "odds-and ends."

I glued a flower to a base and came up with these cute little stands. I can't wait to set
candles on them, candies, soap,
or I'm toying with even using it as a place to set my jewelry....endless ideas!!

Here is a close up!
The hurricanes in the top picture were just as simple!
I just glued the two pieces together, VOILA!
I can't wait to float flowers or candles in them,
holiday candies,
or use them as vases in a wedding for one of my brides!

If you would like specific information on how to make these,
OR come take a class and make these along with an incredible flower design project,
please feel free to contact us at 828.326.7100.

Vase by the Case

We apologize for any inconvenience, RWD is NOT offering this service any longer.

We are in the process of launching our newest feature, "Vase by the Case."

In the meantime, if you are looking for vases for your wedding or special event, please give us a call. We would LOVE to help! We will sell you vases, by the case, for much less than you can find at your local retailer.

Why would we do this? Simple!

We have found a tremendous amount of brides who can't get the floral arrangements of their dreams because of all the hidden little expenses. We want to take out some of that headache. By passing on savings to you through the vases, our brides then get the opportunity to focus on the flowers and weddings of their dreams.

Give us a call for more specifics and costs relating to "Vase by the Case!" Oh, and we do still rent vases for local events as well!

Just One Bloom Makes all the Difference!

One of my favorite things to do is find fun ways to incorporate flowers into, well, EVERYTHING!! Flowers will not only accent every special event, but they make our every day events a little more enjoyable.

The best thing about flowers, is that even with only one blossom from your yard, you can make a great statement, change a mood, light up someone's day, celebrate a special event, and also create a lasting memory.

I love a single flower on my kitchen counter next to my stove just because it makes the task of cooking dinner each night less routine. It gives me something to look forward to as the flower each day opens up a little more, changes in the different lighting, and adds a little pop of color.

A flower in my bathroom is a fun way to start my day. While I get ready I have something that is not only beautiful to look at, but it's life, it's color, and for me, it makes me feel special, even a little bit pampered.

Everyone has one place where they spend a lot of time, usually doing a routine task. Like me, it might be your kitchen or bathroom, but it could be your car, your desk or work-station, or even your laundry room. Think about your one spot and try just one bloom. Watch how as you type on your computer, fold laundry, cook dinner, cut hair, answer phones, and do all the other tasks of the day, how watching one simple flower will improve the task and lift your spirits.

*Simplify: Let us do the work for you! We would love to come to you each week with a new flower or bouquet of flowers for your special space. With you, we will determine what style, size, and shape of vase you need and then each week we fill it for you. We even have vases that will attach to your computer, mirror, white board, or on most any surface. All you have to is ENJOY!
