About Riverwood Designs
Riverwood Designs
Riverwood Designs is the creative partnership between Joseph and Robert, who bring vibrant energy and a unique perspective to every event they plan and design. Joseph, a full-time Certified Wedding and Event Planner and floral designer, excels in wedding day logistics, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for the couple and their guests. When not creating floral designs, Joseph diligently works on wedding planning and logistics for clients, Monday through Thursday. Rob, a Signature Wedding and Event Designer, is passionate about floral and fashion design, blending classic garden-inspired elements with modern trends.
Rob, a native Virginian, and Joseph, originally from Texas, began their life journey together with a simple wedding ceremony in Washington, D.C., on July 20, 2012. Since then, they have transformed their home, Riverwood Cottage, into a hub of creativity and celebration, hosting various social events and gatherings that reflect their love for hosting and entertaining. Community involvement is integral to Riverwood Designs. Joseph and Rob actively participate in local non-profits and community organizations, including Arts on Main, the Garden Club of Virginia-Gloucester Mathews chapter, and the Gloucester Arts Festival.

Unbeatable planning and floral team
My family is extremely grateful for Joseph’s guidance and leadership throughout this wedding process. I told him I wanted my wedding to say “fun”, and he connected me with highly reputable vendors who met our vision. In addition to planning our wedding, Joseph and his partner designed our floral arrangements. All our vendors had a positive working relationship with Joseph before our wedding weekend, and everything went off without a hitch. He negotiated deals with vendors and was constantly available to answer our questions. He was calm, kind, and creative at all the right moments. I will enthusiatically recommend Joseph and Riverwood to any Richmond bride.

Wedding of my dreams!
We were lucky enough to use Riverwood Designs for both our florals and our wedding coordinating, and I honestly don’t know how our wedding would have happened without Joseph and Rob. From the months of planning to coordinating all the details I didn’t even know needed to be considered, they kept everything moving and somehow made the whole process feel manageable. By the time the wedding weekend arrived, I completely trusted that if something needed to happen, they had it handled. But Joseph and Rob really blew us away by bringing our reception to life. I am NOT a flower person and went into wedding planning without a clear vision for florals or even really knowing how to explain what I wanted. Somehow, they took my scattered thoughts and inspiration and created something more beautiful than I could have imagined on my own. Walking into our reception for the first time is genuinely one of my favorite memories from the entire weekend. It was absolutely stunning and both my husband and I were left speechless. They were also such fun but calming presences throughout the entire weekend. I knew that if something needed to happen, they would make it happen, and on your wedding day, there is nothing better than that feeling (well maybe getting married!). I could not recommend Joseph and Rob more. They gave us the reception of my dreams before I even knew exactly what that looked like, and I’m so grateful for everything they did to make the entire weekend come together.

So grateful for Riverwood Design's talent and care
We cannot recommend working with Riverwood Designs enough! We worked with Joseph to plan our wedding and create florals for our wedding in October 2025. From when we first connected in May 2025 over an around an hour phone call - one of the most friendliest and most pleasant calls I have ever had - I knew that working with Joseph as our coordinator and florist was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding and this season of life. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Joseph made the entire process feel calm, organized, and genuinely enjoyable, meeting virtually several times over the course of the planning process and answering any question or concern promptly over email. His attention to detail, professionalism, and ability to anticipate needs we didn't even know we had gave us complete peace of mind in the lead up to and on our wedding day. On our wedding day, he was so kind and encouraging, kept us on schedule, and ensured everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment without stress. As a florist, Joseph brought our vision to life in the most beautiful way. The florals - our bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces - were so stunning, thoughtfully designed, and perfectly suited to our style and venue. My bouquet was beyond anything I could have imagined or dreamed of, and every aspect felt intentional and arranged with so much care. Beyond his experience and talent, Joseph was so kind, responsive, and genuinely wonderful and a joy to work with. His passion and care were evident in ever detail he touched. He made us feel so supported every step of the way, and we are so grateful for everything he did to make the planning process and our wedding day so perfect. We cannot recommend working with him highly enough! Thank you, Joseph!!!

Riverwood Designs Coordination and Floral
I cannot say enough good things about Riverwood. They supported us with day of coordination as well as our flower services. They're the type of people that have already solved a problem before you bring it to them, and will take your ideas and somehow make them better than you pictured on your day of. They're super easy to work with, and respond quickly to get your day running smoothly! Couldn't recommend them more, or be more thankful for everything they did for us!
