    Absolutely stunning.

    Dorothy and her team are fabulous. Our wedding was in Hatteras/Buxton area and of course, a tropical storm decided to pop up extremely quickly week of our wedding. She was so communicative during the process, and with fears of route 12 shutting down was quick to send her team down with flowers early, as well as communicate with our venue about set up changes and advocated for me to get set up going early. As for the actual florals themselves, absolutely stunning. I am not a good planner, and through my extremely vague descriptions of my style, and lack of solid wedding color plans, she was somehow able to perfectly grasp everything and put together a plan more beautiful than I ever could have. Without her florals, it would have looked like a completely different wedding. Highly highly recommend Bells and Whistles!

    My dream flowers!

    I'd like to start by pointing out something that I was unaware of early on in the planning process when I first found Dorothy and Bells and Whistles...she can coordinate rentals too! I called her for flowers and was thrilled when I found out she could also do our ceremony chairs, arch, and lighting and drape in our venue....and she can also do table decor and napkins. Since she was handling all of that, I had the peace of mind knowing it would be expertly coordinated. The website mentions rentals, but it undersold what she can really do, in my opinion! Having all of that in a one-stop shop was so nice!

    Now to the flowers. THE. FLOWERS. Dorothy made my pinterest dreams came true and then some. I sent her pictures for inspiration and told her what I liked and didn't like. She took my vision and ran with it. The quantity and quality of florals we received were honestly more than I was expecting. Dorothy expertly chose bud vases and accessories that perfectly complemented the style of the wedding and were, yet again, above my expectations. My grandmother, who is VERY particular about flowers, has been raving about how beautiful they were since the wedding. Trust me when I say that is a HUGE compliment coming from her. I am so glad that I hired Bells and Whistles at the Flower Field for our wedding and would do it again in a heartbeat!

    Overwhelming Beauty

    The flowers for my daughters March wedding at Pirates Cove were amazing. From our very first meeting a year prior, Dorothy was quick to respond to our questions, patient with our lack of flower knowledge, and brilliant with her creations. She listened to what my daughter hoped for and her work was way beyond what we imagined. We received so many compliments on her tablescapes, the bouquets, and ceiling installation.

    Bells & Whistles at the Flower Field's reply:

    You all definitely have a special place in my heart and I loved being part of this day with you all. Thank you so much for trusting me!

    To be honest flowers were not my most excited aspect to plan. There were so many options and ideas and I didnt think it would be possible to decide! Dorothy made it so easy and put my vision and idea to life so simply! The flowers come out more beautiful than ever!!!

    Perfect Flowers For Our Spring Wedding

    We loved working with Dorothy to bring our floral and decor themes to life. She worked with us through two postponements and brought in everything from flower arrangements, furniture rentals, care lighting, and seating charts. It gave me such a piece of mind to trust her to make our day absolutely beautiful.

    Flowers extraordinaire!

    Both our daughter’s weddings were done by Flower Field/Belle and Whistles.
    The flowers were extraordinary. There is nothing run of the mill with their decor and arrangements .
    Our latest wedding was supposed to be on the beach A wicked Nor’easter meant no beach wedding. They calmed us down and moved everything into the tent. It was beautiful and great memories were made.
    If you want a vendor who listens to you and can trust to make your event special, this is the one!

    Bells & Whistles at the Flower Field's reply:

    Awe, Lauren! We love being a part of such big events in your families lives, of course we want to make it perfect for you all! There is nothing more important to us than making sure every detail is seamless and taken care of. Thank you for always putting your faith in us! Not sure what might be next, but look forward to what might be next in the future!!!

    Beautiful Flowers

    We couldn't have been happier with our wedding flowers. They turned out so beautiful and Dorothy was a pleasure to work with. She was very thorough and detailed in learning about myself, my dress and my maid of honor in order to help her choose the right design. She brought our vision to life with the wooden alter draped in fabric and floral sprays. We were faced with a tough decision on the day of wedding as it was supposed to be outside, but the weather was bad. We had to make a decision to put the alter inside and everyone was so flexible. Everything was perfect!

    Everything and more!

    Dorothy captured my vision so beautifully and was a pleasure to work with during the whole process. The rest of the decor she supplied for our ceremony and reception was just as gorgeous as the florals. Everything was even better than what I had pictured in my head!

    Bells & Whistles at the Flower Field's reply:

    Loved working with you and your creative mind! It was such a pleasure making pretty arrangements to enhance your vision. Thank you for giving us creative license. Hope we get to work with you on more fun projects!

I will never forget the moment we walked into our reception - it felt like a dream - absolutely stunning! Dorothy and team are very responsive and professional. She is so much more than a florist! Lighting, room decor, lounge sets, farm house tables, table arrangements - she has everything to turn any dream into a reality!!! Yall - run do not walk to book her services!!!!!!

    Most receptive to the needs and desires of the client

    Planning for a wedding can be very stressful and overwhelming. Dorothy is kind and patient, hearing the desires of the client. She is a very talented lady that seems to have a treasure trove of wonderful decorations tucked away in her shop. Could not be more pleased how she captured the look we were seeking for our event.

    Dream Wedding

    Look no further! Dorothy is absolutely amazing in every way. From start to finish, I trusted her creative ability to turn my venue into a dream. My venue was at the Norfolk Chrysler Museum because I fell in love with the beautiful staircase that she turned into a magical scene out of Romeo & Juliet. You don't need to think about décor because Dorothy can transform any venue with her flowers and attention to detail! From floor to ceiling, she'll take your vision to the next level! All I can say is that she transformed my wedding into a dreamy indoor garden party for the Gatsby's!

    Bells & Whistles at the Flower Field's reply:

    loved it! Cant wait to see your photos... Send them over!!!! Loved working with you and Nick. And thank you for trusting me, clients who do really get so much more than what they pay for.

    Effortless and more than I ever imagined!

    Dorothy was simply amazing. She turned our rental into a fairytale for our reception for our COVID mini wedding! I honestly just had a short conversation with her and sent her a few photos and the information about the house and she went from there to create the perfect decor! The best part was that the wedding was on Monday and we got to enjoy the flowers all week! My bouquet was so beautiful it made me cry (luckily before my makeup!)
    Thank you so much Dorothy for making my wedding day feel like a fairy tale!

    It was such an honor to be part of your wedding. I so enjoyed the time I was in yours and your families company. May all the blessings continually flow to you and yours!

    Amazing!!!

    We had our wedding at a beachfront home in the Outer Banks and chose Bells & Whistles for both our flowers and our event decor. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was. Working with Dorothy was simply amazing. She handled everything, from the beach ceremony to the reception at our house, and everything was beautiful, and went seamlessly. She clearly demonstrated her expertise! The flowers she supplied were gorgeous - and she incorporated every color in the scheme I had chosen! I kept the flowers at the house after the wedding and enjoyed them for the entire week! They were so fresh and amazing! Dorothy was so friendly and easy to work with - I would choose her again in a heartbeat for any other event I would have! I HIGHLY recommend her and Bells & Whistles!!

    Bells & Whistles at the Flower Field's reply:

    Linda, it was such a pleasure working with you and Dave. Loved learning about your story together and Loved (most) turning your wedding day into a memorable experience! Thank you!

    Dorothy @ Bells and Whistles took my vision of greenery and white roses and made it a beautiful dream come true! My wedding bouquet as well as my bridesmaid bouquets were STUNNING. The driftwood arch with white roses and greenery made our beach ceremony even more beautiful. 10/10 recommend Bells & Whistles for your OBX wedding.

    Bells and Whistles for a Beautiful Wedding

    Dorothy did a wonderful job with our wedding bouquets/boutonnieres, floral arrangements, wedding decor and table arrangements for our spring wedding. We were impressed with her ability to listen to our ideas and translate those to the beautiful final product for our special day. The table decor and memory table were exactly the beachy spring look we had hoped for and the flowers that Dorothy added to our wedding cake display were perfect! We found Dorothy easy to work with, knowledgable and creative. We would highly recommend Dorothy and Bells and Whistles . Thank you Dorothy for helping to make our wedding day so perfect.

    Beautiful Wedding Flowers

    Bells and Whistles provided flowers for greenery for my wedding, along with a beautiful display for our dessert donuts. Dorothy was so flexible and fun to work with, brining my vision to life from my pinterest board. She also had a great little wand for my very young flower girl, that she had a great time twirling around! Dorothy and team also did all of the lighting in our clear top tent, which was absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for making our day so wonderful!

    Bells & Whistles at the Flower Field's reply:

    Awe Kelly, thank you so much for taking the time to let us and everyone else know how you feel! Loved working with you and making it all lovely and easy for you.
    Best wishes for a lifetime of love!

    Beautiful Summer Wedding 2020

    My daughter was married on 8-22-20 at the Outerbanks. We met Dorothy Heath at the annual OBX Wedding Expo about one year prior to the wedding and really connected with her right away. All of the planning was conducted over the phone and via email coordination as we live out of state. Dorothy captured my daughter’s style and vision perfectly. She was so wonderful to work with and surpassed all of our expectations! Dorothy is an amazing artist! She stayed within the budget we set forth and had the most wonderful ideas! She recommended things we would never have thought! She turned the wedding reception into an absolutely beautiful summer garden with elegant touches of gold accents and flickering candlelight! We were completely blown away! Our friends are still talking about how beautiful everything was. The bridal bouquet and bridesmaid flowers were so gorgeous with the most amazing cabbage roses! Our flowers girl Halos were darling and the sweetheart table..wow!! We will be forever grateful to Dorothy and her amazing team for creating a magical day during a stressful pandemic year. Bells and Whistles surpassed all of our expectations in every way!!

    Bells & Whistles at the Flower Field's reply:

    Blushing over here! Thank you Cindy for all your kind words and praise! Thank you for choosing us and giving us the freedom to create the magic in our craft. It was such a pleasure working with you and for you. Wishing you all All the best, Dorothy
