As a wedding flower designer and day-of coordinator in Athens, Georgia, I have been blessed with so many opportunities to bring the dreams and visions of brides to life. Creating breath-taking bridal bouquets and table arrangements is my passion; it's why I love doing what I do!
My professional career began as a Visual Merchandiser, where I designed and created layouts for catalog photo shoots, I was also the Assistant Manager for Charmar Flower & Gift Shop, where I specialized in bridal flower designs, wedding coordinating and was responsible for the creation and set up of all visual displays for various high-profile events.

My husband and I recently used Sheila for our wedding flowers. All I can say is, "Wow!" The arrangements that she did for the ceremony site were so beautiful and eye-catching, I know a majority of the guests made sure to get their pictures in front of them. The reception wouldn't have been near as perfect without the amazing centerpieces that Sheila put together for us. The best were the bouquets, the corsages, the boutonnieres and the gorgeous flower crowns she made!

Wow! Words can’t even describe how amazing it was to work with Sheila for planning our wedding! Sheila was so organized and accommodating, and really made a worrier, like myself, feel at ease while planning such a huge life event. Sheila was our wedding planner and floral designer, and we had three meetings in total to narrow down what we liked and how we wanted our wedding to flow. She was so knowledgeable on weddings and flowers, and she made it so easy to make decisions. Not to mention, she was extremely accommodating with the current pandemic, and was willing to work with us if we ended up

Sheila was the floral designer for our wedding, and all of our florals turned out absolutely stunning! She was amazing to work with! Her floral designs went above and beyond my expectations! She was also very cognizant of my budget throughout the process, and was one of the few florists I spoke with that was fully transparent with her fess (which is so refreshing when planning a wedding)! She's also extremely knowledgeable about venues in the Athens area that she was able to offer advice and ideas for linens and overall layout! With Sheila's expertise, I never had to worry about the floral/decor

Being a recent client of Shelia's, I highly recommend her for your wedding florals. Shelia is very open to creating the magical setting that you are trying to achieve for your wedding venue. My daughter, Amelia Rhodes Cline had a very specific vision for a vintage wedding. Shelia took all of our ideas and created the most magnificent wedding. The wall above is at 255 Milledge Hardeman-Sams House in Athens, GA., and the vases with the succulents were in Amelia's wedding. If you are planning a wedding in the area, please consider reaching out to Shelia Rivera. She is amazing!

Our wedding day was perfect!! It ran smoothly and it wouldn’t have been possible without Sheila!! From our very first meeting shortly after we booked her until the send off at the end of the wedding day, Sheila right by our side and she was absolutely amazing! Sheila wasn’t just our coordinator, she helped with many small details for the day of the wedding. She’s a coordinator but she’s so talented in many other areas as well. She gives sound advice all while keeping your vision in mind. Most importantly, she will go above and beyond to ensure that your special day is perfect for you!!

Shelia is so talented and did an amazing job for my wedding. I really did not have any specific ideas for my flowers when I first met with Shelia. I just told her the colors that I wanted and she pretty much handled the rest! I received so many compliments on my wedding flowers. I would definitely recommend her to all my family and friends.
