Sam was absolutely amazing to work with for my wedding! She took all of my little ideas and turned them into a beautiful vision. She went above and beyond by purchasing and planting a color dahlia she had never grown before in order to achieve the color scheme I was looking for! The flowers were STUNNING and better than I even imagined!! Thank you Sam!

Wow! Samantha was a DREAM to work with. She took so much effort to ensure my wedding flower vision was met; she really took the time to sit down with me and listen to exactly what I wanted, and was super conscious of my budget. Then the execution was everything I could have dreamt of. I recommend her, 100%!!! (Photo credit: Bethany Silcox Photography)

River Valley Designs created my beautiful bouquets, centerpieces, and a large floral statement piece for my wedding ceremony. Samantha, the owner, went above and beyond to create these gorgeous arrangements. She was very responsive to my inquiries, took note of all the specific flowers I was interested in and my inspiration, and advised on design. She delivered so much value. So happy I picked River Valley Designs for my wedding day!

We chose River valley designs to do our florals for our Wedding. She did all of our Bridal bouquets, Arbor florals, centerpieces, boutonnières, etc. Samantha completely understood my vision and everything came out even better than I imagined. It truly was all of my Pinterest dreams coming to life. Not only is she extremely talented, but she is also incredible to work with! She is so kind and was very communicative on any questions I had. Highly recommending her for any bride getting married!

Sam did an outstanding job with our wedding flowers and greenery! She was so helpful and easy to work with. Thanks for everything, Sam!

Samantha was absolutely incredible for our wedding! I couldn’t have even imagined anyone better. I showed her just a few pictures off my Pinterest, picked out a few must haves, she recommended several things, and she brought my exact vision to life. We met twice throughout the process. I would have felt totally confident in meeting once but wanted to add a few special touches for my Dad that passed a few months before the wedding and give her some details as to where the ceremony was since it was not a typical place. Samantha was more than willing to do a few extra things for us as she set up the morning of the wedding. Samantha made my wedding experience as stress free as it gets! I am forever grateful for her and her team at River Valley Designs.

Before my now husband and I were even engaged, we knew we wanted River Valley Designs to help with our wedding florals. At our first meeting, about one year ahead of our wedding date, I gave Sam a rough idea of what I was looking for. Fast forward to about 3 months ahead of our wedding day, my vision had changed. Instead of bohemian, I wanted more color and a timeless look. Sam was so patient and flexible, and she helped us make the most of our limited budget. Sam was quick to respond when I had questions, and we received cute surprises in the mail throughout our engagement! Sam made my wedding floral dreams come to life. She used a variety of colors, shapes, and textures, and I could not have imagined a more beautiful wedding bouquet. We received so many compliments on our wedding florals! For anyone wondering, paying for floral delivery was 100% worth it. The flowers were set up exactly how we wanted them at our reception venue by mid-morning. It was seamless!

As soon as my fiancé proposed, I knew that my first vendor call would be to Sam at River Valley Designs. I have been a huge fan of her style for years! And let me tell you, she did not disappoint! My wedding colors were all neutral and our venue was outdoor in the the gorgeous hills of Jo Daviess County. I gave Sam a few inspo pics and let her do her thing! My one request was lots of color. Sam and her team absolutely nailed it! My flowers were stunning! Communication and organization were also on point, which is a huge relief for busy brides and grooms when planning such a big day! Thank you Sam, Billie, and the rest of the River Valley Team!
