Florals of my Dreams

Working with the team at Bella Flora was a dream come true! I had Bella Flora in mind (from following their work on facebook) for years prior to my engagement. So when the day came that it was my turn to book a florist and expert in decor & more, they were my first vendor to book! Kelly, Lynn and Emily are such a dynamic team. Being the best in the business, they are well connected across many entities and helped us find our amazing Wedding Coordinator, DJ and nailed down every aspect of our venue as they are experts on so many different venues they have been to before!

My first meeting with Bella Flora consisted of sharing all of my hopes and dreams for our wedding day a year following our first meeting! I was able to share pictures, look at pictures they had previously taken of their work and clients along with get ideas and inspiration. From this point, they took my ideas and ran with them! The normal, the crazy, and the spectacular- they made each of them happen in the months to follow!

Our second meeting with them, we talked about vendors I had booked and more intentional dreams that I had curated after searching for what felt right for our big day. After this meeting, they sent us many options detailed with the exact flowers and looks we were going for. The team took into account different price points to meet our budget, all of which were beautifully curated.

Our third and final meeting was my favorite! During this time, Kelly, Lynn and Emily had our table set up that would look just like our wedding! WOW this was the best day. Seeing all of your dreams come to life was spectacular. From here, they were able to change out different aspects of the table we wanted to revise, see what we loved and what different options would be from the smallest things such as silverware, chargers, how napkins were placed to the larger details of the actual flowers that would be at the event! I will attach pictures to this review to show you the magic they set up in their showroom that day. One of my favorite parts of working with Bella Flora is not only their personalization and connection they had with us, but the endless options and possibilities we had when we worked with them! Their showroom is nothing short of fabulous and has everything for any style of wedding to make your vision come to life.

The day before our wedding, Emily took time prior to the wedding to ensure that my bouquet was exactly how I wanted it and was willing to make any changes as needed. She showed me how to hold it in pictures and made me feel comfortable about the care of my bouquet on our wedding day!

On our wedding day, I came down from the bridal suite to the most magical hallway filled with all of the florals that were carefully designed for my vision. I said to Emily that this was a “Magic Hallway” and her response was “This is your magic hallway Laura!”. Kelly gave me the biggest hug and the excitement that they had for me on my big day just radiated in all that they did!

From the dance floor, perfectly curated florals, amazing tablescapes, cake florals, personal touches, and more. This team is truly unmatched and really were the “fairy godmothers” that made each of my dreams come true! Thank you to Kelly, Lynn and Bella for ALL their dedication in making my day a success.

Great Attention to Detail

Bella Floral Design is simply the best!

From the beginning, Kelly and her staff listened carefully to everything my family and especially my daughter imagined for her wedding November 4 in Des Moines, Iowa. They hit it out of the park by taking my daughter’s dreams of a Cinderella wedding, and then bringing that to life!

From the cascade of flowers flowing down the mansion’s staircase into the beautifully decorated courtyard and then into a majestic and breathtaking banquet room, Bella floral captured 100% everything that we suggested.

The colors, the flowers, the table settings, the kings table, everything was exquisite!

The entire wedding stayed within budget, and Bella Floral even saved us money by suggesting several ways where we could cut costs.

We are still on cloud nine now 10 days later after being treated like royalty by Bella Floral Design. Simply take a look at the pictures I’ve provided and you will agree with me that they are the best in the Midwest at what they do.

Thank you from a very, very grateful father!

Fabulous florist and decorator!

Bella Flora made things super easy and simple having all floral and decorations come from the same place. Knowing that we could rely on them to take care of all of the set up and tear down was a relief. They did a wonderful job and executed our vision perfectly!

Look no further.. Bella Flora is simply the best!

I cannot say enough about this team!! Kelly was fantastic to work with. We had to make some pretty big changes two months before our big day because we cut the guest list way down (COVID). They were so flexible, and helped to make our 15 person "micro-wedding" feel just as special (if not more special) than our original 300 person wedding.

I had a Pinterest vision in mind, and showed Kelly what I liked and she recreated it perfectly. I was so impressed because my design ideas were not your typical wedding colors, and they brought it all to life wonderfully. We had our ceremony and reception at St. Kilda Collective, and Bella Flora brought that room to LIFE with their decor.

The fact that we could get floral and decor all from the same vendor was huge because that was less people to coordinate day of. I didn't want to worry about making sure that the decor was there before floral so that everything could be arranged perfectly and this took that worry off of me.

Also, I've been to weddings where the bride & groom's family and friends had to tear everything down the night of the wedding and that was always such a buzz kill. I'm so thankful for Bella Flora's set up and tear down because that took one more task off of our hands on the big day. My cousin used them a few months prior to us for their large wedding at the Tea Room and had the best experience as well.

Look NO further than Bella Flora, you will not be disappointed!

Would 100% Recommend!

Bella Flora was fantastic to work with for our wedding! Kelly was super responsive, consultative, and collaborative throughout the planning process. We were able to meet with her several times before the big day, and I never once doubted that her and her team would be able to make our venue look beautiful. I would 100% recommend Bella Flora for event design and floral needs.

Kelly is the best!

My husband and I recently had our wedding at Glen Oaks in WDM on 8.29.20 and I can’t say enough good things about Kelly and her team. She worked with us wonderfully even with the difficulties of covid and me changing my mind on theme 2.5 weeks before the wedding. I could not have asked for a more beautiful turnout! Kelly did a fantastic job capturing my style and vision (even when I had a hard time describing it myself). It was truly PERFECT!!! I had an overall idea of what the designs might look like but I was blown away by how fabulous Bella Flora did. Kelly is very organized and good with details which I LOVED being that I’m a detail-oriented person. My ceremony & reception decor were more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed. Thank you Kelly, you are the absolute BEST!!! I will cherish these photos and the beautiful arrangements you did for years to come. I am so thankful we had you to help us make our day one we will never forget.

Love! Love!

I cannot recommend Bella Flora enough!! I got so many compliments on the decor and flowers at my wedding, and Kelly gave me exactly what I asked for! I had trouble articulating exactly what I envisioned for my big day, but Kelly and her team took all my photos and suggestions and DELIVERED! My wedding was an absolute dream and I have Bella Flora to thank for that!! LOVE!

The Very Best!

Where to start… Kelly and her team do not disappoint. Bella Flora Event Design is extremely good at what they do. I had a vision of what I wanted my wedding to look like. Kelly and her team worked with me to create just that. To this day, we still have people from our wedding telling us how beautiful all of the décor and flowers were. If you are considering Bella Flora as your vendor, look no further… you will be absolutely amazed. They are wonderful!
