Shanley Sent on 09/09/2025Gayle is simply the best
I hired Gayle from Belles+Whistles for the floral for our wedding. She met with me when we originally booked and she had such a great way of listening to what I wanted, but I also trusted her with her creativity and expertise. As a creative person myself, it was such a fun collaboration! I took her up on her additional day-of coordination offering, it was the best decision I could have ever made!! She was so swift, professional, caring, flexible, and attentive. All I could ever ask for in a coordinator. I truly enjoyed working with her, getting to know her, and trusting her to help our day go as smoothly as possible. Which it totally did!!! 1,000% recommend Gayle, you will be so glad to work with her! -

I could not have asked for a better experience. Gayle is truly an artist. When looking for a florist, I was so intrigued by her past weddings. She was so easy to connect with, and made all my floral dreams come true. Our day would not have been as magical without her. She looked at my color scheme and inspo, and created an even more beautiful design! My mom and I were speechless when we saw all the arrangements and the wedding arbors. The bouquets and arrangements were full, lush, and beautiful. I will recommend her for future events 💗. Thank you so much, Gayle! -

Paige Sent on 11/07/2025So Stunning and So Spooky!
Gayle and her team are phenomenal! She took my Halloween theme and ran with it, I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. I handle art direction for work and trusted her through each step in the decision making after I set the initial ideas. She came back with some wonderful ideas of her own to help elevate the mood and picked such a wonderful arrangement of florals. I brought some signs and items and she accented them perfectly as well. Such a delight to talk to and discuss design with! I adore our Halloween wedding, it was a wonderfully formal spooky event with all the right elements for the venue space. -

Great florist who makes your vision come alive
I worked with Gayle for my elopement reception. She had several calls and emails with me to help me get it just right. I came in with very little idea of what I wanted and she helped me create a beautiful aesthetic for the whole evening. She was super generous with what she provided and her pricing. So happy I found her for our event!Belles & Whistles's reply:
Thank you Megan. It was my pleasure to create your wedding florals. The color theme and design turned out amazing @ The Vault. All the best to you. -

Gayle was absolutely incredible to work with! She did such a wonderful job and her arrangements were absolutely stunning! I had a more complex ask because I had a cherry blossom theme in August 😁 So she had to mix real with artificial flowers and it came out exactly how I wanted! I would highly recommend Gayle go anyone looking for a florist in Washington! She’s very willing to work with the budget you have as well. Thank you Gayle, you made our day even more magical! 💖 -

Pasado’s Safe Haven had the privilege of working with Belles & Whistles for our annual fundraiser Lovebash!
The owner, Gayle, is warm and friendly – a pleasure to work with in every way. Her communication was clear, her timelines for delivery exact, and arrangements were flawless. She is also an empathetic and generous business owner, as she graciously donated her beautiful arrangements to us and offered her services as auction items. As a non-profit organization, this was a truly incredible gesture and we cannot be thankful enough.
We highly recommend Belles & Whistles – you will not be disappointed.

Liliya Sent on 11/29/2022Incredible florals-exactly what we envisioned
WOW! Belles & Whistles went above and beyond our expectations. My husband picked the colors and I found some photo arrangements that I really liked with the color scheme to send to Gayle. And OMG!!! She made the bouquets and floral garland and head-pieces WAYYY more gorgeous than I could have imagined. I don't think I ever had to wait longer than a day to hear from Gayle anytime I messaged/inquired with her about anything. The day of the wedding, her and her hubby showed up and even helped us place both the giant 8ft garlands on the beams/arch. I would 100% hire Belles & Whistles for any of my floral needs and HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you SOOO SOO MUCH!!! -

Marina Sent on 11/15/2022WOW - what an amazing team
It's hard to narrow down all the reasons we loved working with Gayle and her team. First of all - we were delayed two years, and Gayle was a constant source of hope and inspiration the entire time. Even as the seasons changed (and so did our vision), Gayle was able to adjust and ultimately put together the most stunning day. I could not recommend her more and hope everyone has an opportunity to work with Belles and Whistles!Belles & Whistles's reply:
Thank you for all your kindness. There are so many reasons why I loved working with you to create your dream wedding.....I loved your openness to creativity, beautiful color theme and floral designs, not to mention ONE COOL BRIDE/GROOM and family. Best of the year! All the Best to you! Stay in touch.... -

Very flexible, within budget
Gayle made it very easy to work. You can tell she was very proud of her work and loved what she does! She truly wants each and every bride she works with to be 100% satisfied with what their paying for. Gayle went above and beyond and even added in extra flowers that I didnt have in my budget because she knew what my final dream outcome was and she wanted everything I wanted for me. Her and her team was in and out setting up and tearing down and communication was all around solid. I recommended her to a couple friends already via IGBelles & Whistles's reply:

Excellent Service, Organization, and Design!
I am so glad I found Belles and Whistles for my wedding! The floral was above and beyond what I hoped for! Gayle Harvie worked with me to find the best budget options while getting a beautiful look.

She was so organized and was a huge part in making sure my wedding day was flawless!Belles & Whistles's reply:

10/10 would recommend
I was that bride that left everything for last minute. So you can imagine my panic when I was trying to find a florist that was able to create the vision that I had in my head. Every florist that I looked at seemed to be stuck in the past and I was determined to do things differently. After searching for FOREVER to find the perfect vendor, I saw Belles and Whistles and I immediately got into contact with Gayle and she was just amazing!! I sent her a detailed description of what I was looking for and she listened and sent me a layout of what I thought was even more perfect than I had ever dreamed of. I wanted that modern look with big beautiful pompas grass and dried florals and she delivered. I had thrown so many changes at her and she went with it and made it a smooth process. Working with Belles and Whistles was a great experience and I would do it all over again if I had to! Thanks to Gayle for making my wedding as beautiful as ever!Belles & Whistles's reply:
There are weddings and then there are weddings that allow a floral designer to put her creativity to the test. You had a lovely wedding and it was a joy to be able to create some new and exciting floral designs just for you! I'm so glad you loved them. It was a pleasure to work with you and Deanna. Best to you! -

Amazing Collaborative Company
Gayle came on to our Annual Large Scale Wedding Photoshoot project, excited and ready to work. She is great at communication, and really works to give you the most "bang for your buck" within your budget parameters. We gave her our ideas for floral design for our shoot, and she knocked it out of the park! Our vision was taken way beyond our best interpretation, and both Gayle and her team are an ABSOLUTE joy to work with. Professional down to the last bone in her body. So excited to work with her again soon.

Absolutely our favorite vendor that we worked with for our wedding! When wedding planning, all you want is good communication and good execution -- well, Gayle went above and beyond all expectations! She is incredibly sweet and knowledgeable. Her prices are reasonable and she is very reliable. She is always on time and willing to help out. If I had known sooner that she also does wedding coordinating/planning, I would have hired her for that too! She is so organized and really listened to what we wanted. The flowers were GORGEOUS -- our guests are still raving about how beautiful all the decorations were months later. She even had connections to providing elegant vases, candles, votives, and more. We highly recommend Belles & Whistles to anyone we know.Belles & Whistles's reply:

Absolutely Gorgeous Wedding Florals
Gayle was absolutely amazing!! My husband and I were hoping for a wedding with a lot of natural greenery and a variety of white florals. We were on somewhat of a budget and Gayle worked with me to adjust our floral contract multiple times to get it within our price range. I could tell she genuinely cares for her clients and making sure their vision top of mind. She had great recommendations and ideas to help make it all come together for us. I loved the entire set up, from my bridesmaids lush greenery/white floral bouquets, the tall centerpieces, to our gorgeous arbor that she built and created herself (this was my absolute favorite piece and doubled as the backdrop to both our ceremony and also our head table during the reception).
Gayle is not only caring for her clients, but she is just a lovely person in general and I couldn't have asked for a better florist to make our wedding beautiful.Belles & Whistles's reply:
Thank you so much Jessie & Peter. You brought tears to my eyes with your kind words. There is nothing I love more than to create a couple's wedding vision and see that smile on their face. Priceless. You both are very special. I really enjoyed working with you both and bringing your dreams to life. All the best to you! -

Easy to work with and great experience!
We had a great experience with Belles & Whistles for our wedding flowers in August 2019! Gayle was so easy to talk with and took great care in my requests. She was thoughtful and worked to make sure I had what I needed and that my vision came to life. She worked within the quote to make sure I could fit extra items I wanted and was very willing to work the numbers to make it a great value. Her flower selection was wonderful and I was very impressed. Having a vendor take a little extra care and flexibility mean a lot to me!Belles & Whistles's reply:

Belles and Whistles provided florals and event planning at a wedding at Gray Bridge Venue in 2019. The florals were absolutely spectacular. They used pampas grass for flowy vertical accents, and an abundance of flowers to create gorgeous bouquets, centerpieces, and arbor decor. As a venue owner, we see all sorts of florals --from DIY to over-the-top and Belles and Whistles was over-the-top (in a great way). The florals made the venue look spectacular and set a tone that told all the guests that this wedding was special. I would welcome Belles and Whistles back at Gray Bridge anytime!Belles & Whistles's reply:
Thank you so much Stacy & Matt. It was my pleasure to bring some magic to your beautiful venue and to work with two of the hardest working and best venue owners around. I was very excited to create an overall look for my couple that was complimentary to Gray Bridge Venue. Beautiful outdoor landscapes and amenities inspired the floral designs to capture the essence of the gardens, ponds, fountains, overall woodsy property and bring Wow factor to the wedding. -

She listen to all of our ideas and made it so easy for us. She was very patient with me and she is very artistic with vision.

Felt like a wedding story book.Belles & Whistles's reply:
Thank you so much Nicole. I'm so glad to have been part of your garden wedding @ Gray Bridge Venue. It was fun to capture the essence of the venue with lush deep burgundy roses, dahlias, amaranthus, with blush and ivory flowers highlighted with ivory pampas grass. It was the perfect touch to the gardens, ponds and fountains around the property. It was so fun planning your wedding as I could see the vision before we started the build. It was well planned in advance without stress. We accomplished a well balanced rich look with lush floral designs on a very large venue.
