RiCreations

Rianon Jones is a young married mum with two small children who has been creative all her life. She’s dabbled in card making, personalised shopping bags; even designing and making the centrepieces for her own wedding when she couldn’t find what she wanted.

The motivation for Rianon to start her own floristry business came about when she had to pay over-the-top prices for her wedding flowers. Plus with her creative abilities she felt that she could understand the customer’s vision and bring it to life for them at a reasonable price.

Rianon is currently on maternity leave and now seems to be the perfect time to launch RiCreations. She has nailed the routine with her little boys and her mind is overflowing with creative ideas. Now that she has completed her floristry course, it’s time for her brilliance to blossom. This is a lady who is ready to unleash her talent on the world!

Rianon is all about doing something different. She loves contemporary designs and relishes a challenge. Nothing excites her more than a customer with a particular vision of what they want, and transforming it into the creation of their dreams.

One of Rianon’s guarantees is that whatever she creates will be of the utmost quality. She uses only the best materials to make the best possible designs.

I can testify to this first hand. One of Rianon’s first big assignments was to make a rose centrepiece for my Beauty And The Beast shoot. Talk about being thrown in the deep end!

The brief? “Lots of red roses, greenery and gypsophila. It has to look like it would belong in a castle. And it has to be enormous.” #NoPressure!

The day before the shoot Rianon called to confirm it was ready for delivery asap, as it was so big and would be at its best in situ. When she arrived with this beautiful beast of a rose centrepiece, of epic proportions I was blown away. To say it was amazing is an understatement. It was simply breathtaking. I was overwhelmed with how well she had understood and interpreted my brief. It was like she had seen inside of my mind, and produced exactly what I had imagined.

I can honestly say that after working with RiCreations - what you want is what you get! And then some! Don’t just take my word for it. Head on over to Fashion Feast to see Rianon’s gorgeous rose creation.

RiCreations offer a full florist service, including wedding flowers, funeral tributes and an array of bouquets for all occasions. Alongside the floristry, Rianon offers a bespoke gift service creating personalised gifts, such as family trees, wall plaques and picture frames.

As a young girl Rianon was always painting and drawing pictures - making Fuzzy Felts (now that’s a trip down memory lane for some of us!). She soon progressed to card-making and parchment classes. And as a teenager, she worked in Jacks Crafts which opened her eyes to a whole world of crafting and has been crafting ever since.

As Rianon establishes her business, she envisages opening a beautiful emporium offering unique bespoke gifts and floral tributes. With her creative flare, ability and desire to transform a customer’s concept into a reality, I have no doubt this business will be a huge success and grow from strength to strength.

And keep your eyes peeled for a brand new service Rianon will be offering very soon - we will be featuring it in June’s Second Birthday Issue!

It’s so exciting to have Rianon become part of #teamheaven with her creative and artistic talents. This adds another dimension to our fashion shoots. I look forward to seeing what ideas she comes up with over the following months.

RiCreations has been a dream of Rianon’s for so long. And now, it’s time to pass the scissors, cut the ribbon - and declare RiCreations is officially open for business.
