Our Story

Seven Flowers, LLC's journey began in 1997 at the home of its founder, Pearlie Heyward. With a natural talent for crafting and floral design, Pearlie started making artificial floral arrangements for her home and family. After receiving compliments and inquiries about her creations, she decided to turn her passion into a business. Initially named Home Accessories, Pearlie began selling artificial floral wreaths and centerpieces to friends, colleagues, and at flea markets throughout the Midlands of South Carolina.

One day, while standing on her porch, Pearlie noticed a building on an abandoned lot next to her home. After walking around the property, she realized it would be the perfect location for her business and decided  to  inquire  about  purchasing  it.  The  property  was  being  sold  by  the  owner,  a  major communications company, for just $5,000 as part of a larger effort to offload rural town assets. Pearlie eagerly pursued the opportunity, but another interested party tried to derail the deal. After some tense negotiations, the owner ultimately gave Pearlie the property for free. Pearlie continued to work full-time while selling her arrangements and refurbishing her new storefront. It wasn’t until she lost her job that she took a leap of faith and decided to run her business full-time.

Over the years, Home Accessories experienced many changes, triumphs, and challenges, all of which helped shape the business into what it is today. One significant change was the rebranding of the company from Home Accessories to Seven Flowers, a name chosen to distinguish the business and better represent the brand. The inspiration behind the name came from Pearlie's personal story: she was the seventh child born in her family, her mother had seven daughters, and the number seven has always been her favorite. Another key moment in the company's growth was when Pearlie's daughter, Asia Wells, left her career to join the business and help it grow. Together, they rebranded Seven Flowers and shifted their focus to offering only the finest fresh-cut flower arrangements.
