The English Rose

Florist serving the Des Moines, IA metro and Ames, IA area. Specializing in weddings and special ev I've been a floral designer for over 18 years. Cheers! Clare
(229)

It's been my chosen career since I left school. Thinking back about what I might have done differently...

Well I wouldn't have! I'm crazy in love with flowers and designing them. I'm originally from England which is where I attended floral design school for 2 years. I received formal training at Ottley College and I'm a certified florist, specializing in European high style floral design. I have

worked full time in several floral design shops perfecting different styles and techniques. In my 15 years of experience, I have helped hundreds of brides create their wedding as a wedding floral coordinator and planner. My career has led me to work on and off site at literally hundreds of venues. These venues were anything from a small informal wedding at someone's home to luxurious ballroom weddings. Flowers set the tone and feeling for your wedding. Let me help design them for your wedding to create the day you have always dreamed of. I can work with a budget of any size. To give you an idea of my affordable prices, I have created three collections of the most popular flowers. Every wedding is unique and I am more than happy to customize any order. These collections are a small example of my design work. I am constantly adding more pictures of what I am currently working on. I would love to be your florist! Give me a call to set up a free wedding consultation. It would be lovely to meet you.

Behind the Blooms

Hello, it’s me, Clare
Creative mind behind The English Rose.
Other than being completely obsessed with florals and design……..
* ☕️ I’m a jug of coffee a day kinda girl, and a cup of tea in the afternoon.
* Team summer ☀️ I love the sun and warmth.
* 🍰 I’m just as passionate about chocolate, cakes, and sweet treats as I am florals.
* 🫣 I am a rubbish cook, like really, really rubbish.
* We love to travel as a family, hubby Brice, and our kids Alice, Arthur, and Albert
* 👟Dr. Martens, Birkenstocks, are my go to shoe choice currently.
*🐶 We have a mini bernedoodle called Dave, I love him to bits even though I could write an entire section about Dave’s personality, needs, and emotions 😆

Thank you 📸
