    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Amazing Vendor Experience

    The team at Bella Flora is second to none! Not only did they make my wedding BEAUTIFUL, but their professional team is fun and easy to work with. They are both creative and have attention to quality and detail. I knew I was in good hands working with them. It was comforting to know that I could trust them with such an important detail of my big deal. I have no hesitation to recommend Kelly and her team to any bride!

    Beautiful flowers, good price, and a dedicated owner!

    Kelly is an absolute wedding angel! I am SO happy we chose to work with her. She knows exactly what she’s doing and what your event needs. She has a knack for knowing what looks good and how things will flow. She was open to listening to my ideas and helped tweak them to make them look good. She worked within our budget and made it very reasonable! There were no tricks or hidden costs. Her floral arrangements were beautiful! Her warehouse has endless amounts of declarations which are great to visualize and see how Table arrangements can look. We loved working with Kelly and are so happy with how everything turned out! I am still waiting on my professional photos to come back but had to share a few personal photos I grabbed!

    I cannot say enough good things about Kelly and the entire staff at Bella Flora! Going into the planning process for my wedding, I had some ideas in my head of what I wanted, a couple inspiration photos and a color scheme in mind. Kelly and her team created a look for my day that was even better than what I could have imagined! They were so easy to work with and were great at keeping us within our budget. I would absolutely recommend that any bride to be trusts Bella Flora with their floral and decor, you will be blown away!

    Every expectation I had for my daughters wedding were completely blown out of the water.
    The floral centerpieces at the reception and the church were more than I could have ever hoped for. The bridal flowers were beautiful. The staff did a perfect job of making this day perfect. From our first meeting to the conclusion of the night, perfection!

    Tip to Bella Flora brides, look up ways to preserve your bouquet before your wedding day comes. I only let them hang dry and wishing I would have preserved them with silica to keep their beauty. Needless to say, what Kelly & Emily created was beyond beautiful for our day.

    I chose the Bella Flora team because my creativity is very limited and during our initial call on vision, Kelly asked questions I would have never thought of and taught me to quit saying "purple" for the beautiful deep plum color or else I was really going to end up with a hot purple decor. I wasn't the easiest client, my favorite flower is a bright orange tiger lily, which is difficult to make work for an April Des Moines wedding. I was planning from a distance and the team was really accommodating to meet when I was in town and prep me as much as possible over the phone. Being able to see my bouquet the Friday before the wedding really kick-started the excitement for the next day, I knew it would turn out perfectly.

    I love bright colors but am very minimalist so I needed floral to steal the show being our only decor at the wedding. I didn't give the team a huge budget but over everything else, we received the most compliments on the flowers. The floral centerpieces stole the room and color pop was perfect for accenting the wedding party. Bella Flora was a key part of our amazing team that made our wedding beautiful and I will be forever grateful.

    From start to finish, Bella Flora was fabulous to work with. I gave Kelly a rough idea of what I wanted for decorations and flowers and she made it look beautiful and elegant. I’d highly recommend working with her team.

    I could not be happier with the service we received from Bella. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous, we got compliments on them all night. They were great at taking inspiration pictures and matching them to our needs. They were super responsive to any questions. We had a pretty healthy decor budget, but I feel like we got a great deal. I mentioned what we wanted, and what we wanted to spend, and they were able to do everything we wanted beautifully within our budget.

    This is a florist/event business you are going to want to use!
    Good listeners who are ultra creative. They really care about
    what their customers envision and want. I used Bella Flora for my
    daughters wedding flowers recently and was more than happy with what they produced!
    Gorgeous, gorgeous florals!

    With my son and now daughter-in-law living out of state, as well as her family, I was asked to coordinate the floral and decor for their wedding in Des Moines. I cannot compliment Kelly and her team enough! During our consult meeting, our bride was able to FaceTime, to share her vision. Kelly and I then collaborated to come up with a plan, while staying within my budget. Kelly was very professional, flexible with changes and attentive to what we wanted through the whole planning process! She and her team had terrific ideas to get the most impact for my money. The results were stunning! From the bridal party's flowers, boutonnières/corsages and ceremony bouquets, to the reception's tablescapes and ceiling decor-gorgeous! The attention to detail was perfect! I heard so many compliments about the beauty of the florals and decor. The best thing? My son and his bride were so happy and taken back by the stunning transformation of the venue to help make this their "Best Day Ever"! I would definitely recommend Bella Flora Event Design!

    Kelly and her team did an absolutely AMAZING job for our wedding! In each consultation/meeting with Kelly and her team she was respectful of our budget and flexible with our requests. Kelly and the team are very knowledgable, and they provided much-needed guidance and support throughout the entire process. Hiring Bella Flora was the best decision we could have made for this aspect of our big day. The arrangements and service both far exceeded our expectations, and we have gotten so many compliments from our guests about the floral arrangements and decor at our ceremony and reception! I would highly recommend Bella Flora for any wedding in the Des Moines area!

    Kelly and her staff at Bella made my wedding dreams come true. I can't begin to explain how professional they were from the beginning of the planning process to the end. I always felt valued and special due to Kelly's responsiveness even though I know how busy they were because they are the best! I highly recommend Bella to any bride who wants to collaborate with the best for your wedding floral and decor needs! My wedding would not have been near as beautiful without them.

    If you're looking for an event company in Des Moines look no further. Kelly and her team at Bella Flora took the vision from my (now) wife's random pinterest board and turned it into a masterpiece of a Wedding Reception. They were so accommodating and considerate. From the amazing centerpieces, assistance with finishing off our seating chart, and memorial table, to the special request bouquet. And they did all within our tight budget. We couldn't have asked for better floral designs and will recommend everyone we know to go here first. We can't wait to get our pictures back so we can see what they created again and again.

    We used Bella Flora for our wedding and reception in May. I'll admit that the floral design was by far the most difficult of all of the vendor appointments because I have a hard time visualizing things. I didn't have to worry about that with Bella Flora. They made everything a breeze. They were great about asking questions to see what we wanted. We ended up giving them a color palette and general idea of design, shapes, etc. that we like. Then we let them run with it, and I'm so, so glad we did. The floral arrangements and event design they came up with was better than anything I could have ever imagined. I'm a little biased but it was by far the prettiest wedding I've ever been to. The decor was stunning and unique. My bouquet was the most beautiful arrangement I've ever seen and completely exceeded my expectations. Months after the wedding we're still getting comments from people about how beautiful of a wedding it was. There's no way we could have done it without Bella Flora's amazing vision and craftsmanship. Everyone on the team was so great to work with as well. I have nothing but good things to say about this company. If you want your dream wedding, don't look any further.

    I don't know how they do it! We only had two meetings before we saw a table setting and they nailed my vision. Kelly and her team worked diligently to make our wedding even more beautiful than we could have imagined. They answered any questions promptly given their busy schedule and honestly. If I were to do it again, I would choose Bella Flora again and again! Thank you so much, Kelly and the whole team!
