Hope Flower Farm and Winery

Holly Heider Chapple

Hope Flower Farm and Winery was purchased by Holly and Evan Chapple in 2015, an exciting new chapter for Holly Heider Chapple Flowers. After successfully running her floral and event design business from her home-based studio for 23 years, Holly was eager to find something special to expand her highly sought after services, including teaching and mentoring fellow floral designers.

The estate, farmed by the Hope family for many years, was once a working dairy farm. Upon hearing several locals within the Lucketts and Waterford communities refer to the property as "Hope Farm" it seemed only fitting for the Chapple's to re-name her accordingly; a name that both honors the family that farmed the land for over 60 years and implies so much potential. Hope officially became a winery in 2021 and launched our hard cider line in 2022.

In 2010, Holly founded The Chapel Designers, an international collective of wedding and event floral designers. The organization educates, supports and mentors creatives while encouraging the authenticity of each designer. Based on Holly’s ability to deal with a large family, nurturing and supporting these designers was a natural love for her. To encourage and educate these designers Holly hosts annual conferences and workshops in various markets and at her farm, Hope Flower Farm, in Waterford, Virginia. The Chapel Designers gather to tour flower markets, have creative & business workshops, and most importantly to collaborate and share new inspiration with each other. These relationships have become invaluable to each of the Chapel Designers as both strong industry relationships and close friendships have been born. Throughout the year the group stays connected through a forum that is built to support one another and the group has also committed to a new standard of excellence when it comes to expanding horizons and setting industry standards in wedding and event design.
