t Hawk Valley Retreat and Cottages was like a hallmark movie. Her table scapes at our reception were so full and magical. We truly believe this is the best florist for a wedding in the area.

and she was very helpful and knowledgeable about all things floral. I was so excited to see how all of the flowers, the arch, and decor would look on the day of the wedding. When wedding day came, I was absolutely blown away with her work. I received soooooo many compliments on the flowers, the floral aisle decor, and the way she decorated the arch. Guests were continuously telling me how beautiful her work was and that it was the most beautiful wedding they had been to. AND THEN, when we entered into the reception, her work with the candles and centerpieces was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I am so grateful that we chose to work with Samantha and she made our wedding day the best day of our lives. I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH!! Hire her!!! You will not regret it.

's arrive! When we came back to NC, I gave up my bouquet to be pressed and framed and it was still emotional because it was just so beautiful. I wish we could've taken it all home. We cannot thank RVD enough for their beauty, professionalism & friendliness throughout this entire planning process. THANK YOU.

ith and suggested beautiful flowers for my vision. I loved her creative vision. She took what I envisioned and ran with it, and the results were stunning. From big pieces, like the archway she created for the tree we were married under, to small details on the groomsmen's boutonnieres, Sammy thought of everything. I can't recommend her more highly!
Samantha is amazing! Her work is absolutely beautiful. We didn't have many flowers at our wedding but she blew us away with her work. We lived 3 hours away from our venue and she m...

work with us only a few weeks before our wedding day. In that short amount of time, she was so kind & helpful in making our floral vision come to reality. She is very organized with the Honeybook client portal & gave us nice suggestions / advice during the planning process. The day of, she arrived early to set-up & deliver everything. It all turned out just as I imagined. The process with Samantha was so easy and smooth. I would highly recommend her for any wedding or events! Thank you, River Valley Designs, for making our wedding perfect!!

s at Chestnut Mountain Resort in Galena, IL. Sam kept in constant communication with us during that time and she made us feel prepared, excited, and brought our vision and all of my pinterest ideas to life! We had 3 different types of centerpieces and she worked with us in making them look gorgeous with the gold vases we painted! My bouquet left me breathless, the other bouquets were beautiful, and the corsages were perfect! We also had gorgeous flowers on the arch at the ceremony and she personally moved these flowers to the head table at our reception tent to use as decoration after the ceremony and they looked amazing! I can't thank her enough for all of her hard work, quick responses, and kindness! Thank you Sam for helping make our wedding PERFECT!
