Holly Heider Chapple

Holly Heider Chapple founded her wedding and event floral design business 27 years ago. The business was home based and offered Holly an opportunity to make a living while staying at home with her 7 children. At the time the studio primarily focused on weddings and events in the Washington DC area. Over the years, the Holly Heider Chapple Flowers brand continued to grow and gain international recognition as result of Holly’s involvement in social media and the popularity of her blog, The Full Bouquet. In 2011 Holly's husband Evan joined the company and the studio saw another serious period of growth. Evan's involvement allowed Holly the opportunity to focus on other aspects of the business while Evan started a lighting and drape division. Evan also began restoring the family cutting gardens, which had been seriously missing some tender loving care over the years due to Holly's intense wedding schedule. During this period of time Holly began designing destination weddings and teaching floral design abroad. Just before Evan joined the company in 2010, Holly founded The Chapel Designers, which is an international collective of wedding and event floral designers. The organization educates, supports and mentors creative while encouraging the authenticity of each designer. Holly and Evan host the Chapel Designers workshops internationally, throughout the USA and at their new farm, Hope Flower Farm. Hope Farm is a working flower farm, a registered bed and breakfast, as well as a retreat for those designers seeking education and inspiration. Holly is a supporter of the American Grown Slow Flower movement. Holly has taught her signature 'Hollyish' design style in Moscow, Australia, China, London and Canada. In October 2017, it was announced that Holly and Syndicate Sales have partnered up to create a collection of products bearing her name. The Holly Heider Chapple Exclusively for Syndicate Sales collection brings Holly’s game-changing “egg” and “pillow” mechanics to the floral forefront, along with a signature collection of coordinating vases. The Holly Heider Chapple Exclusively for Syndicate Sales collection includes 15 SKU’s and will be available January 2018. Holly and her husband Evan will celebrate 31 years of marriage this January and are the proud parents of seven wonderful children ranging in age from 8- 30.
