    Dorothy is excellent at her craft. She listened while my daughter described her wedding vision of bringing the outside in, using native flowers and natural elements. The arrangements and design were breathtaking. Dorothy takes an idea and elevates it to an art. I have NEVER seen such beautiful work.

    Dorothy was the best Florist and event designer. From the first meeting with her she got my vision and I had complete trust in her that the event would look great. The day of the wedding when I walked into our tent it was perfect! I would definitely recommend using Dorothy and Bells & Whistles for your Outer Banks Wedding!

    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!

    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!!

    All the people that I worked with at Bells and Whistles were great! I was unable to get to do a consult in person, but they were able to accomendate me by doing it over the phone. They were very creative, professional, friendly, and helpful. The flowers were gorgeous from the bouquets to the centerpieces! I received many compliments on them. I couldn't be happier how they it all turned out! I would recommend them highly for their services!

    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!

    Dorothy and her team made my wedding planning so incredibly easy; especially since I was planning from quite a long distance away. I was blown away on the day of my wedding with how beautiful the flowers and decorations at the ceremony and reception were. Thank you so much for making our wedding perfect for both Tommy and I!

    Dorothy did an amazing job with our flowers and decor. It was exactly what I was looking for and was gorgeous! Very flexible with our changing proposal and worked extremely well with other vendors. Cant recommend her enough!! There really are no words to describe how perfect everything was!

    Dorothy was phenomenal!!!! I had talked to a few different florists that just didn’t really do it for me…. until I connected with Dorothy. I was a bride that didn’t really have a vision (there was no secret Pinterest Board for this girl) and she was so kind and patient with me. She talked me through every step of the process – provided recommendations based on my venue - provided visuals when I couldn’t quite grasp what her vision was - reworked my quote when I changed my mind for the 10th time – all with genuine passion and enthusiasm. I especially knew I had picked the “one” when we drove down to OBX from Boston in January for our pre-planning visits with our vendors. It had been snowing in OBX and the temperatures were unseasonably low - the roads were completely covered in inches of ice. For a Boston girl like myself, this was nothing, but I knew that in a place like OBX – the island probably shut-down in these conditions. Dorothy knew that this was our only opportunity to meet, as we would not be back down before the wedding and braved the elements to keep the existing appointment we had made. It sounds so silly, but this really meant so much to us, as we really wanted to connect personally with our vendors before our wedding in May. She was just as lovely, talented and creative in person as she was over the phone. Our florals came out better than I could have ever imagined. Dorothy (and team) listened to what I envisioned and executed it flawlessly (for someone who had no vision – I was very particular in what I wanted). The flowers were beautiful and so fresh. Our bouquets were GORGEOUS. I cannot tell you how many people complimented them. We had two very young flower girls and she made the most adorable flower crowns and wands for them to use – they loved it. The venue couldn’t have looked better – she completely transformed the space and gave it that romantic feel we so desperately wanted. We cannot say enough great things about the Bells & Whistles team.

    Dorothy and Bells and Whistles the Flower Field are truly the best. From the initial meeting with Dorothy talking about our vision, to the amazing, gorgeous, perfect dream come to life at our wedding. We got married on the beach and the arbor and surrounding flowers and decor were gorgeous. She offers the ability to create your own centerpieces, which we did. We brought the vases to her shop, we picked our own flowers, and with Dorothy's guidance created our own personal centerpieces for our wedding. Truly amazing! We loved Dorothy and our entire experience! Kel and Trish

    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.

    Dorothy provided the flowers (and other props--candles, vases, a window that we used as a guestbook, etc.) for my husband's and my September wedding. We couldn't have been more pleased with the gorgeous outcome. Dorothy is an artist--she takes your vision and brings it to life. She was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her.

    My husband and I renewed our vows at the North Carolina Aquarium at Roanoke Island, and decided to use Bells & Whistles for flowers and decorations for our ceremony and reception. Several months before the wedding, I was able to sit down and meet with Bells & Whistles to discuss what colors I wanted, a theme I was looking for, and any centerpiece ideas I had. Dorothy (the owner of Bells & Whistles) was very realistic with my expectations, and provided me with feedback and creative ideas on how to make our decorations unique and sophisticated. On the day of our vow renewal, a member of Bells & Whistles dropped off our boutonnieres and bouquets long before we needed to leave, and they made sure we had everything we needed. While the bridal party was getting ready, Bells & Whistles was hard at work decorating, and I was speechless with how everything looked. Overall, I had an absolute wonderful experience with Bells & Whistles, and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for an awesome decorator!

    Dorothy did an amazing job for our son's wedding. She decorated our beach house for the rehearsal...it was beautiful! She then transformed a huge tent at the Whalehead Club into an amazing and stunning site. Everyone was commenting on how beautiful it was. Her vision was so spot on to what our son and his new wife wanted. We all couldn't have asked for anything more.

    Thank you Bells & Whistles!

    Dorothy and her staff were WONDERFUL. The process was easy and painless. I gave her my budget and a picture of what I was thinking and she way exceeded my expectations. My fiancee also called to have flowers delivered to me on the day of the wedding. Let me tell you, I have NEVER seen more gorgeous tulips in my life- the stems were 2-3 feet long and the flowers were PERFECT and presented in a gorgeous vase. When he saw them, he was blown away too and said that they were worth double what he spent on them.
    They were also very flexible- we had last minute changes due to rain and they had no problem re-delivering all the bouquets, etc. to another home. I highly recommend Bells & Whistles for your wedding, or just an everyday arrangement...they were great!!

    Dorothy and her team were great! Our wedding was so beautiful thanks to them. She took my vision and rolled with it. I knew from the moment I found Bells & Whistles online and looked through their portfolio that I wanted to use them for our wedding. I worked with Dorothy through email since it was an out of town wedding for me and she made things very easy. She even made time to meet with myself and my mom a few months before the wedding when we were visiting. Fantastic team and fantastic work!

    Bells and Whistles is THE one-stop shop for decor and flowers. I was so happy to be able to voice my budget needs, and have a plan worked out that fit these needs, and more! I was only expecting to get flowers from Bells and Whistles, but the value and professionalism of having them do the decor as well was unbeatable! I really enjoyed the "Do It Yourself" studio, where the staff helped me and my bridesmaids put together centerpieces and bootineers. Everyone at Bells and Whistles has passion for what they do, and are helpful and very friendly. I would without a doubt recommend Bells and Whistles to anyone. Your highest expectations will be exceeded!!!

    Dorothy at Bells & Whistles is a must have for flowers! She truly understands a brides vision and can tailor to suit the needs of the venue and space. She went above and beyond what was in my wildest dreams! She was willing to work within our budget and let us know at every turn what the bottom line was. She was a calming influence throughout the process and even on the event day she helped out with final decisions. She was always available for an update or to listen to a crazy bride and even crazier mother of the bride! She can work with any type of flower. We wanted daffodils, which are hard to work with usually, but her arrangements were works of art. I could not have imagined my day any more perfect and all the guests were awed by the flowers! In addition to flowers, she helped with non-flower items such as driftwood aisle, and a chalkboard table seating chart. Her styling is original and she took the flowers from beautiful to elegant with her creativity. We loved her work so much we used her for the bridal luncheon as well. If you want piece of mind, choose Dorothy Morris at Bells and Whistles and you will not be disappointed.

    I am sitting here trying to come up with the words to describe Dorothy and the flowers she created for my wedding but I am at a loss for words. She took my ideas, inspiration, and vision, and turned it into something that was so beautiful that I couldn't have come up with it in my wildest dreams. My bouquet was the most beautiful bouquet I have ever laid eyes on. Every single detail was thought of and they all arrived on time and couldn't have been more perfect. If ANYONE is looking for a florist and event designer, you have to go to Dorothy. Easily one of the best investments we made for our wedding...

    I loved every moment of working with Dorothy at Bells & Whistles. She is a very gifted florist and had such a vision for my wedding. We worked together throughout my engagement to identify colors, ideas and overall themes for the day-of. I received countless compliments on my wedding day and even after about how beautiful the wedding was, how fabulous the bouquets were and how serene the event was. It was all because of Dorothy's craftsmanship and I am thrilled that I had the opportunity to work with her. I would never have dreamed that my wedding would feel so magical and I cannot thank her and her very professional staff for making my wedding so flawless. Additionally, her prices are more than reasonable and her product is amazing. She works within every price point (mine changed during the course of my engagement) and gives various options to achieve your wedding dreams. I cannot say enough about Bells & Whistles!!
