Holly Heider Chapple
Holly Heider Chapple is the creative director behind Holly Heider Chapple Flowers, a luxury wedding flowers brand and owner of Hope Flower Farm and Winery based here in Waterford. Holly is the mother of seven children and contributes much of her success to her late husband Evan Chapple’s contributions to their business and family.
After traveling the world to teach her design aesthetic, she and her husband Evan set their sights on a twenty-five-acre farm just outside the village of Waterford. Here they grew flowers and provided educational workshops. The farm boasts beautiful flower fields and prop closets full of inspiration for editorial spreads. In 2020 with travel and weddings shut down, they opened their beloved Hope Flower Farm to the public and began the next phase of their career by sharing their love of flowers with their community.
Visitors to Hope Flower Farm enjoy the vision and dream born from Holly and Evan’s love of flowers. The farm not only offers educational workshops, cut your own experiences but also has a fantastic gift shop and is now a farm winery for tasting and experiencing all the farm has to offer.
Holly Chapple Floral Design Challenge*
Join us Friday, October 6th at 9:15 am as international floral artist and Waterford resident Holly Heider Chapple returns to her roots, just as she did when she was starting her floral career, using items foraged and harvested from her garden to make beautiful arrangements. Holly will walk the three Second Street gardens, harvesting flowers & greens as she goes, and then return to the Ephraim Schooley House garden to complete her arrangement, talking us through her process.
Gardens include the Charles Merchant House, the Ephraim Schooley House and Mahlon Schooley House. History docents and master gardeners will also be available to discuss these historic gardens.
*Early Bird Ticket required. Hope Farm is offering a 15% off wine, gifts, and flowers for all Waterford Fair guests that show their lanyard ticket upon arrival to the farm on Fair weekend, Oct. 6-8, 2023.
Pet Policy
We love them too
…which is why we don’t allow pets at the Waterford Fair. Conditions are not comfortable for pets for several reasons including lack of water, big crowds, heat, and no relief areas. We ask that you leave them home so you can both have a more enjoyable day. Thank you!

Celebrate #National Plum Pudding Day!
Although we don’t have a heritage food maker doing plum pudding for the Fair, we still wanted to celebrate #NationalPlumPuddingDay. The food blog “Savoring the Past” has some amazing 18th & 19th century recipes and the video blogs are chocked full of history tidbits. This Hunter’s Pudding, a form of plum pudding, looks really tasty. [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzH5B0T2GYU[/embedyt]

Individual and groups are invited to volunteer at the Waterford Fair.
The Waterford Fair is the premier traditional crafts fair and homes tour in the Northern Virginia area. The Fair needs many volunteers to make it a success. The Fair is fun and a great way to be involved in the community. Volunteers have fun assisting with the Fair on the day(s) they volunteer and…get complimentary entry!
A few of the ways volunteers can help:
- Homes Tour Docents
- Ticket Takers
- The Mill Photography and Art Mart
- The Corner Store
- Beer and Wine Tent
Need a community service project for your staff? Sponsor our Local Libations Tent — pour beer, have fun and help the Foundation preserve the National Historic Landmark of Waterford.
Please consider helping at the Fair this year and in years to come. The Waterford Fair is an important part of supporting the mission of the Waterford Foundation and preserving this National Historic Landmark. The help of volunteers is much appreciated!

Did you know?
- Approximately 20,000 visitors attend the Waterford Fair annually, many returning year after year.
- A 2014 survey conducted by Visit Loudoun indicated that 65 percent of visitors to the Waterford Fair come from Virginia. Of those, 75.9 percent are women; 41.8 percent have college degrees; and 68 percent are day-trippers. Each spends an average of $337.11 on food, wine, events, shopping, and fuel. Those who spend the night spend an average of $1,042.22.
- They represent a huge pool of potential customers for your company—thousands of young families and high-end buying public interested in the Fair’s quality traditional crafts, historic homes privately owned which are open only once a year, and interactive history lessons about life in an early American rural village.
- A four-time winner of Loudoun County’s Event of the Year by Visit Loudoun, the Waterford Fair provides “lasting benefits to the community…and the generations of overnight stays and effective promotion to out-of-county visitors.”
