Our Story…
The Arranger's Market is family owned and operated in Richmond, Virginia, USA. A mother and daughter, both avid arrangers, have come together to bring you the best equipment and vases for those who want to create beautiful arrangements but don't want to spend hours doing it and don't want to use environmentally unfriendly materials (like floral foam). They specialize in easy-to-use but hard-to-find containers that are smart (in that they hold flowers without additional elaborate mechanics), simple, and sophisticated. Because they believe the purpose of flower arranging is to celebrate nature, they also like containers that keep the focus on the plant material, not on the vessel holding it. Any equipment they offer (vase brushes, clippers, etc.) is something they know works better than anything else on the market.

When I was selecting my college major of 3-D Arts a gazillion years ago, I had no idea that flowers were going to become my primary medium. In hindsight, however, it makes perfect sense. Combining my love for creating art with a surprising horticulture knowledge base (it’s what happens growing up with avid gardeners in the house), a marriage of the two was inevitable. Now I get to do a job that I love with a mother whom I love even more.

I’m a gardener first and an outdoor writer second. Trees are my favorite living things (next to my kin). Floral design, to me, is gathering pansies in your fist and dropping them into a vase, as I did as a 5-year-old. I know all the adult rules, and have taught them, but I try to remember that what I want to share, when creating a flower arrangement, is the joy of seeing something surprising or exciting in nature.

“I must have flowers, always and always.”
