"Unforgettable, magical journey..."

 "To say our wedding was  magical would be an understatement. From the picturesque backdrop for  our alter, to the Gothic, winter rustic reception dinner design and not  to mention the most exquisite bouquet, Roger and his team at Gather and  Blüme left us speechless. When I walked down the aisle I felt I was  truly stepping into a winter fairy tale and it took my breath away. Not  only were the designs remarkable but Roger poured his entire heart and  soul into making our day unforgettable in every way. From the first  moment we met, it was like meeting a long lost friend who not only  listened and took to heart all of my ideas but went above and beyond to  make them a reality I never thought could be possible in my wildest  imagination. To say thank you for making our dreams come true on the  most special day of our lives would merely scrape the surface of our  unending gratitude. If you get the opportunity to work with Roger and  the Gather and Blüme team, you are in for a magical journey- one we feel  so honored to have taken."

 "Planning a wedding? Where to begin? When I began this exciting journey with Gather and Blume, I had the opportunity to work with a premier state of the art wedding designer. Proprietor Roger Wilhoite, is an on-site, hands on design miracle worker. He listened to all concerns, no matter how small and addressed them in a timely fashion. My daughter’s wedding was absolutely beautiful. Every detail, again, no matter how small is important to Roger and his staff. We  received many, many, compliments on the beauty and originality of this special event. "

"Roger  created stunning arrangements for some very special women for me. His  arrangements are not cookie cutter. Prior to creating the arrangements,  we sat down and discussed each person. He wanted to get a feel for what  the recipient would like. Roger did not disappoint. He is passionate  about his business. I will call him again and again for any floral  needs."

"Shattered Our Expectations..."

“Roger and the Gather and Blume team did an incredible job creating our own amazing fairy-tale wedding! We weren’t exactly sure what we wanted but somehow Roger knew. During the months of planning and throughout our entire destination wedding weekend, Roger was always at the top of his game. The ceremony shattered our expectations and the reception blew us away! Our friends keep telling us about all of the gorgeous details that stood out. We’re thrilled to have so many beautiful scenes captured in our photos and eternally grateful for the magic that lives on in our memories"

"  Folks, Mr.  RH Wilhoite    of Gather and Blume events floral  is truly a one in a million blessing and I am honored to also now call  him a friend.  THIS guy not only took that phone call out of the blue  (no VM, or hold times), he patiently spent time with me talking about  what we wanted.  One of the Warden’s main requirements was “nothing  cliché or ordinary” and let me tell you neither Roger nor his “art” is  either of those things!  Roger was fully engaged throughout the initial  and all subsequent conversations and I was beyond convinced that he was  TRULY interested in and committed to making the Warden’s request into a  lasting and loving memory for my mother.  WHICH HE DID!!  The  arrangement was one of a kind and absolutely gorgeous, the timing of the  delivery (which was changed a couple times due to travel challenges)  was perfection and the JOY on my Momma’s face was priceless!

AND THEN, as if that wasn’t enough… 

 In December, I hosted a book signing/fundraiser for Children’s Hospital  IN Alabama (keep in mind that Roger and Gather and Blume are in TN)…  I  needed a phenomenal door prize/gift for the evening… Roger never  blinked when I asked if he’d consider participating in making that door  prize even more spectacular… nope… he jumped right on board with both  feet and made it happen!  My heart is humbled and made hopeful by such a  person/businessman/friend as him!

IF Y’ALL LIVE IN TN…  you will  only be doing yourself a favor to call Roger @ Gather and Blüme for ANY  of your floral and/or event planning needs! 

IF Y’ALL DON’T LIVE  IN TN…  tell everyone that you know who DOES. And YOU should definitely  plan on making your next trip to the Smokies even more special by  adding a floral arrangement to your cabin, or hotel room, or heck… even  your tent will benefit!  I promise you won’t be disappointed!!"

 "Roger did an amazing job on the flowers for my recent wedding at Dancing  Bear. We told Roger some of our favorite flowers and colors and he took  it from there. We were blown away by his creativity and warmth!! "

" I don’t even know where to begin. My now husband and I didn’t know  anything about flowers, we just had an idea to have a very fall themed  wedding. There aren’t enough words to say how amazing Roger was. From  the bouquets to the alter to the cake table, everything was beyond  perfect. It was the prettiest set up for a wedding I’ve ever seen. I  loved how it felt like talking to a friend, made me feel comfortable and  I completely trusted him to make sure the wedding would be beautiful.  He blew us away, I can’t get over how amazing every arrangement was. I  would recommend him for anything, he will go above and beyond to make  sure it’s perfect !"

" Roger designed beautiful and unique one of a kind floral arrangements  for our wedding at Dancing Bear Lodge.  After speaking with Roger for  only a few minutes, his passion for his work quickly became evident and  we knew immediately that we wanted him to provide our floral  arrangements.  He took the time to talk to us and get to know us so that  he could get a better idea of what we wanted and worked with us to  provide exactly that while trying to stay within our budget.  He far  exceeded our expectations and many of our guests commented on his  amazing work.  Both friends and family who were at the wedding and even  those who were not but saw the pictures have gone out of their way to  comment on the beauty and uniqueness of the floral arrangements, and the  pictures themselves do not do justice.  While the flowers will not last  forever, the memories will and Kim and I thank Roger for that.  He is  passionate for his work, is personable and professional, and provides  amazing floral arrangements you will not find anywhere else!"
