Our Story
When you visit Watered Garden Florist, be prepared for something a little different from your traditional retail florist experience. The Studio is set in a commercial business park a stone’s throw from the JC Raulston Arboretum and features offices and a show room as well as a warehouse where the floral magic happens.
Steve Taras started Watered Garden Florist as a one-man show, operating out of his home building over the years to a team of designers that works with prominent local residents, businesses, museums and universities. Steve and the team have traveled up and down the eastern seaboard designing weddings and events in Chicago, Minneapolis, New York, D.C. & Virginia – even a yacht in the Caribbean.
The most intriguing thing about their work is their talent and ability to bring your vision to life – even if you’re not 100% sure what that vision is. They will work with you to come up with a design that provides the perfect finishing touch to your event.
Come in, explore the Studio and meet Isabella, Steve’s friendly and exuberant dog – you’ll also get to meet all the members of the team responsible for bringing your event to life.

Henna inspired Wedding Cake!
Molly my bride sent me pictures of the henna designs that Artistic Henna LLC designed for her incorporating the floral and lace designs in her two wedding gowns!
This piping design was done freehand followed by two hours of hand painting with gold.
Gorgeous floral cascades provided by Watered Garden Florist
Six tiers plus three kitchen cakes - 240 servings - that's a lot of cake! Whew!
Thank you Timeless Events for bringing me on this project. I really enjoy working with you!

🎁We love when couples have imagined every inch of their big day, down to the tiniest details 🎀, especially when these things hold sentimental value.✨☺️ Who is else obsessed with this vintage wrapping paper, some of which dates back all the way to the 50s and 60s?! 😍💕

Elizabeth Flake is one of our very own planners here at A Southern Soiree 💍 and we are still over the moon at how beautiful her Christmas themed wedding was, just a little over a month ago! 🥳👰🏻♀️🤵🏾♂️

Watered Gardens did the flowers for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we have ever made! They were SO wonderful to work with: communicative, friendly, and dedicated to understanding our vision and executing flawlessly. I would hire them again for anything and everything...truly amazing!
There’s some stunning new art in The Umstead Hotel and Spa art gallery! 🖼 We highly recommend making a holi-date to see the new work by Susan Brabeau!
