    A pleasure to work with.

    Brenda is a pleasure to work with! She demonstrated professionalism every time we were in contact. We even had some additions a few weeks before the wedding and she was happy to accommodate. All the floral arrangements were beautiful and absolutely what we had envisioned.

    Beautiful!

    All of the florals for my wedding were perfect! Brenda had such amazing vision, and everything turned out better than I could have imagined. I would highly recommend As You Wish Floral to my friends for their weddings.

    Beautiful and memorable florals

    Brenda was absolutely wonderful to work with. She took my ideas and inspirations and created a truly magical arrangement. Even as the venue developed and created new spaces, she adapted our design and budget to fit the new ideas. The flowers were *stunning* and created the most romantic and natural vibe

    Amazing Experience!

    Brenda was absolutely amazing! When I met with her, I didn't really have an idea of what I wanted for flowers. She was able to take the little ideas that I gave her and turn them into something beautiful that perfectly matched the theme of my wedding. Throughout the planning process, she was easy to contact and very flexible. She was able to change my order when my mom wanted more flowers for the table. On the day of my wedding, she drove all the way to Earlham to Bondurant at 9 am to make sure we had plenty of time to decorate the tables with our flowers. Brenda is kind, caring and professional. I would recommend anyone to use As You Wish Floral for their wedding!

    Amazing & Heavenly

    Brenda with As You Wish Floral was AMAZING!!
    Brenda went above and beyond making sure that everything was perfect. The arrangements and bouquets were absolutely stunning. The flowers were fresh and stay beautiful well after the wedding. She was very thorough and understanding of what our vision was for the wedding. I highly recommend using As You Wish Floral. In fact my other daughter is using her for Her wedding this coming year.

    Absolutely amazing

    Brenda is awesome to work with, very accommodating. My daughter had no idea what she wanted for flowers and Brenda was great at giving ideas based on time of year. She was very kind and easy to talk to and always answered our questions. My daughter meet with her once before moving to Japan and from there they stayed in contact through emails.
    She brought the flowers to the venue and made sure everything was good. She did an amazing job and we highly recommend her!! Even put my daughter’s dogs tags on her bouquet which made her day!!

    Brenda is amazing at what she does. I don't think beautiful does justice to the perfect arrangements she made for our special day. They were even better than I imagined. She supported my vision and offered suggestions that made the arrangements even better. 100% would recommend to another Bride looking for someone who loves what they do and shares that passion through the flower arrangements she makes for your special day.

    My daughter got married in Des Moines because it was centrally located for everyone. She actually lived in another state and Brenda was so accommodating especially since they only got to meet once, the rest was done from a distance. She took the time to visit with her and really tried to figure out what she was wanting for her special day. Everything turned out beautiful, just like we had imagined. Thanks Brenda

    Brenda was a joy to work with and took my ideas and made the designs into to more than I could have imagined. Our boutonnieres were an out of the box type of idea and she made them a reality! We met 2 times and I felt she had our wedding flowers under complete control and I never worried once about them. Planning a wedding from out of state can be a bit more of a headache but working with Brenda made things so much easier! Thank you Brenda for our all of your work on our beautiful winter wedding we were truly blessed to have you be a part of our special day!

    Brenda came recommended by by my mother-in-law. Due to the fact that I'd moved my wedding up quite a bit, and she was still available for my new date, we met for a consult. She was incredibly professional throughout our visit(even drove from Earlham to central Des Moines), and took very detailed notes for exactly what I'd envisioned.
    The day of my wedding, Brenda personally delivered the flowers to our location, and wished us the best. All of the flowers for by girls, my ceremony, and my reception were absolutely perfect. Brenda took my dream and made it happen.
    I will definitely continue to recommend her to friends and family.

    Brenda & her staff at As You Wish Floral are absolutely the best. We wanted non-traditional flowers, more greenery/succulents and really didn't have a completed vision. After one coffee date with Brenda and her creative ideas/expertise, we had three separate centerpieces picked out that fit our simple & clean look. Her proximity to the metro (Des Moines, Ames ect.) yet reasonable pricing made it a no-brainer for us to choose her. We gave her a budget and we stuck to it without any hiccups and our arrangements were flawless from the tables, boutonnieres to bouquets. She's open to sticking to the ideas you've dreamed of since you were a little girl or she'll put the pieces together to make your wedding puzzle complete. There's nothing this woman can't do. If there's one thing you don't want to stress over, it's the flowers and if they'll tie it all together... with Brenda you don't have to. She's a life saver and a good friend! Thanks again, Brenda & crew!

    It was such a pleasure working with Brenda and she completely captured everything I was envisioning for our wedding flowers. It was super helpful that she worked with our venue often and enhanced its beauty with floral. Bring photo ideas when you meet, and Brenda will run with them to take them to the next level. Highly recommend!

    Brenda was great to work with! She was very flexible and able to meet with us whenever and wherever was most convenient for us. I had a small vision of what I wanted for my flowers, but her expertise was not only able to bring this to life, but made it better than i could have dreamed of. I would use Brenda again in a heartbeat.

    Brenda McGinnis, the owner of As You Wish Floral, is very professional, flexible and willing to accommodate the bride's ideas for all types of floral arrangements. I was especially pleased with my bridal bouquet, the bridesmaids' bouquets, church pew flowers, two very large outdoor arrangements and the table centerpieces at my reception site-The Salisbury House in Des Moines. Brenda was very prompt communicating with me during the months of planning and even went out of her way to find and purchase my requested pedestal bowls for the table centerpieces. Her prices were very reasonable and the service was impeccable. I would highly recommend As You Wish Floral to any bride.

    Brenda was nothing short of amazing! I came to her with a very vague idea of what I wanted for flowers but somehow she knew exactly what I wanted, even though I didn't! She was wonderful to work with, very professional, and so so very nice. She made the process SO easy, down to delivering the flowers right to my venue! We couldn't have asked for anything more from her. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

    Brenda was very personable and wonderful to work with. She helped my floral vision come to life and stay within my budget. When we found out that a particular berry I wanted was out-of-season, she found a fantastic alternative that mixed in with the rest of my flowers perfectly. She also was more than willing to incorporate parts of my grandmother's wedding dress into the bouquet as well. Would highly recommend her!

    Brenda did the flowers for my daughter's wedding June 2016. She was so amazing in everything that she did. My daughter knew what she was looking for but was unsure of what flowers to pick for all the arrangements. The ideas and flowers that Brenda suggested were perfect. Brenda works very hard in staying in our budget - in fact - her price was less than what we budgeted for and we got everything that we needed. She takes a personal interest in the bride's wants and needs. My daughter wanted to have her flowers look like she had picked them out of a field right before she walked down the aisle - and that is EXACTLY what her flowers looked like. All my daughter and I have are positive thoughts about Brenda and the way she runs her business. She is fantastic!!

    Beautiful work by Brenda. She fully captured my vision while staying within my price point. We were missing one corsage on the day, but besides that everything went off without a hitch. Brenda works wonderfully with Barnes Place and had everything set up perfectly before we arrived. Plus a gorgeous floral cake decoration to boot. Highly recommend.

    As You Wish Floral was exactly what were looking for in a florist for our wedding! We were so pleased with the personalization and special attention that was spent on our wedding day. It was so fun to work with a florist who deeply cared about making our dreams a reality, and all for a reasonable price. I highly recommend As You Wish Floral to anyone planning a wedding, from a size of 100 guests to a 500+ wedding (as was ours). She does a fantastic job!

    Brenda was awesome to work with and made my flower visions come true! She was very knowledgeable about all kinds of flowers and what would look best together in the arrangement I wanted! She also didn't mind adding in lace from my grandma's dress and using shotgun shells I wanted for the boutiners.
