I met Dorothy about a year ago and from the start she was very professional, communicative and is an amazing florist! My now husband and I met with her to discuss possibly using her as a florist for our wedding and from the time we met her, we knew that she was the perfect fit for us! She listened to my vision and made it become more than I could ever imagine! She is very helpful and detail oriented when it comes to her designing and amazing flowers! She is very fair when it comes to pricing and works with any type of budget. The night before my wedding, we decided to make a change to the location of the reception due to rain. Dorothy took your typical kitchen/living room/ dining room and transformed it to a boho greenery dream! So many of my guests said that it was the most amazing decor and florals that they have seen and even said it should have been in a magazine. She did all of my florals, ceremony decor, reception decor, coordinating, etc. Highly recommend Dorothy and you won’t be disappointed!! -

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! -

Chelsea Sent on 07/08/2023My dream flowers!
I'd like to start by pointing out something that I was unaware of early on in the planning process when I first found Dorothy and Bells and Whistles...she can coordinate rentals too! I called her for flowers and was thrilled when I found out she could also do our ceremony chairs, arch, and lighting and drape in our venue....and she can also do table decor and napkins. Since she was handling all of that, I had the peace of mind knowing it would be expertly coordinated. The website mentions rentals, but it undersold what she can really do, in my opinion! Having all of that in a one-stop shop was so nice!
Now to the flowers. THE. FLOWERS. Dorothy made my pinterest dreams came true and then some. I sent her pictures for inspiration and told her what I liked and didn't like. She took my vision and ran with it. The quantity and quality of florals we received were honestly more than I was expecting. Dorothy expertly chose bud vases and accessories that perfectly complemented the style of the wedding and were, yet again, above my expectations. My grandmother, who is VERY particular about flowers, has been raving about how beautiful they were since the wedding. Trust me when I say that is a HUGE compliment coming from her. I am so glad that I hired Bells and Whistles at the Flower Field for our wedding and would do it again in a heartbeat! -

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 @ Bells and Whistles took my vision of greenery and white roses and made it a beautiful dream come true! My wedding bouquet as well as my bridesmaid bouquets were STUNNING. The driftwood arch with white roses and greenery made our beach ceremony even more beautiful. 10/10 recommend Bells & Whistles for your OBX wedding. -

Look no further! Dorothy is absolutely amazing in every way. From start to finish, I trusted her creative ability to turn my venue into a dream. My venue was at the Norfolk Chrysler Museum because I fell in love with the beautiful staircase that she turned into a magical scene out of Romeo & Juliet. You don't need to think about décor because Dorothy can transform any venue with her flowers and attention to detail! From floor to ceiling, she'll take your vision to the next level! All I can say is that she transformed my wedding into a dreamy indoor garden party for the Gatsby's! -

Dorothy is an incredibly talented artist! From start to finish she collaborated on our vision and exceeded all expectations!! I will never forget the moment we walked into our reception - it felt like a dream - absolutely stunning! Dorothy and team are very responsive and professional. She is so much more than a florist! Lighting, room decor, lounge sets, farm house tables, table arrangements - she has everything to turn any dream into a reality!!! Yall - run do not walk to book her services!!!!!! -

Planning for a wedding can be very stressful and overwhelming. Dorothy is kind and patient, hearing the desires of the client. She is a very talented lady that seems to have a treasure trove of wonderful decorations tucked away in her shop. Could not be more pleased how she captured the look we were seeking for our event. -

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! -

Cindy Sent on 11/05/2020Beautiful Summer Wedding 2020
My daughter was married on 8-22-20 at the Outerbanks. We met Dorothy Heath at the annual OBX Wedding Expo about one year prior to the wedding and really connected with her right away. All of the planning was conducted over the phone and via email coordination as we live out of state. Dorothy captured my daughter’s style and vision perfectly. She was so wonderful to work with and surpassed all of our expectations! Dorothy is an amazing artist! She stayed within the budget we set forth and had the most wonderful ideas! She recommended things we would never have thought! She turned the wedding reception into an absolutely beautiful summer garden with elegant touches of gold accents and flickering candlelight! We were completely blown away! Our friends are still talking about how beautiful everything was. The bridal bouquet and bridesmaid flowers were so gorgeous with the most amazing cabbage roses! Our flowers girl Halos were darling and the sweetheart table..wow!! We will be forever grateful to Dorothy and her amazing team for creating a magical day during a stressful pandemic year. Bells and Whistles surpassed all of our expectations in every way!! -

Dorothy was truly amazing! She took the time to see what my vision was for my wedding. She way over exceeded my expectations and everything was so beautiful.

Dorothy and her team were incredible, and truly brought my vision of our wedding to life! Dorothy met with me several times prior to the wedding, and was always available when I needed to call to discuss our flowers and decor. I could not recommend Bells and Whistles for an Outer Banks wedding more! -

Courtney Sent on 08/09/2019OUTSTANDING Experience with Bells & Whistles
I researched florists in the Outer Banks, as I am not local, and Dorothy with Bells & Whistles at the Flower Field blew all of my expectations out of the water. She grows a lot (if not all) of her flowers on her property and her arrangements are outstanding. My husband and I got married at the Sanderling Resort and used their Pavilion for our reception. Not only did Dorothy and her husband deliver outstanding floral arrangements, they completely transformed the Pavilion at the Sanderling by hanging lights and drapery throughout. I cannot say enough how happy we were with our decision to use Dorothy! I would HIGHLY recommend her for your wedding or event! -

Me and my fiancee decided to elope. In two week planning time period I was able to find a local florist for our beach elopement. Dorothy of Bells and Whistles florists was prompt at replying to my inquiry. I described my favorite flowers and style to Dorothy via email and she was able to transform that into a gorgeous bouquet, flower arch, corsage and bouts. The flowers were bright colorful and just what I was envisioning. It added so much spark to my special day! -

Courtney Sent on 05/13/2019Everything was breathtaking!
Dorothy was absolutely amazing to work with. I had multiple florists in contact with me and had heard a lot of things about Dorothy. I’m not a big flower person, but I knew if I had them, I wanted it to be beautiful! When I walked into the reception & ceremony area, I got goosebumps! Everything was beautiful and even better than I could have imagined. I gave her ideas & boy did I change my mind a million times, but she worked with me and was so kind throughout my indecisiveness. From the draping, arbor floral arrangement, and centerpieces all the way to the BEAUTIFUL wreath hanging over the dance floor with fairy lights, it was all breath taking. I remember gazing at the wreath when I finally got a chance to breath & was in awe! Flowers big or small, I would recommend Dorothy any day! -

We gave Dorthy an idea of how we wanted our wedding to look like and our dreams came more than true. She decorated everything from our rehearsal dinner to our bouquets, lighting, cake and table settings. Our dream “winter” wedding came true because of her. Thank you! -
