We are known for gorgeous flowers - and these bouquets lately are some true stunners! (More to come)

Have you ever wondered how the flower process starts? Ends?

Here is a summary of how your flowers come together as a Bella Bride!

— PART ONE —

* This is our 20th year in business - find inspiration in our extensive portfolio sitting in a showroom full of physical inspiration in every corner to look at.

* Professional guidance : our team has literally decades upon decades of professional experience in all event arenas, but specifically the wedding arena. To gather your floral order we’ll ask your opinions on a lot of nuances of things you like, may not like, all while customizing to your frame, dress, style and budget. And if you don’t have opinions, no need to stress - we’ll take the reins for you ✨

* When you become a Bella Bride (well…at this stage let’s face it, you’re family) you’ll receive a gorgeous guide of all blooms and foliages proposed and tailored just for you based on specific meeting notes. We have the experience and knowledge to create customized recipes to you ensuring your entire wedding portfolio flows, is cohesive and is well-connected.

* Every floral element and detail of the design will be thoughtfully planned.

* Your flowers will be carefully sourced from our trusted floral partners, growers and wholesalers - of over 20 years - from all over the world.

* The flowers arriving the week of your wedding will be expertly unpackaged, cleaned, cut, handled and stored. These flowers are our babies and we have the knowledge, experience and education to know how your investment should be taken care of. We manage them - talk to them - and love on them every day (!!!)

… Stay tuned for PART TWO!

How would one pick a favorite moment when the day (& journey) was filled with endless ones!

This family said they booked us first. 🥰
And let me tell you…that’s one of the best things anyone could ever tell a small business owner whose team puts their hearts into everything they do.

From start to finish, Laura & Jesse’s day yesterday was intentional, loving, guest focused and made to be memorable.

To know the Butcher’s is to know they are incredibly kind, genuine, appreciative, thankful, generous and just all-around amazing, beautiful people. Our kind of people.

God sends us the best ✨

Cheers to the Samaniego’s 🖤

Our Bella Bride Erin is an event coordinator at Country Lane Lodge - Event Venue and you’ll find her behind the scenes helping to ensure everyone’s wedding day is absolutely flawless.

But yesterday, it was her turn to be a bride 🧡

We had so much fun planning with this beautiful red-head and her father and it was a honor to be a part of it all.

Amazing family, amazing venue and amazing crew who helped put together an amazing day!

Happy 4th Friends!

What a special day. I’ve been listening to some podcasts about how our country came to be and it’s just truly remarkable, mind blowing & immeasurable the amount of sacrifice & foresight our founders had in fighting for our freedoms all while having a vision for what the United States could / would / should ultimately look like.

I couldn’t be more proud to live in this amazing country!

We humbly honor the hero’s now, and those before us, that fight to keep us and our liberties safe. Everyday.

God Bless America! 🇺🇸❤️💙🤍🇺🇸

After 20 years in the business, we pride ourselves in saying there rarely is a space we haven’t been in. That being said, we love how the diversity of venues in Central Iowa continues to grow and we get excited to see something new!

We got to celebrate an incredible couple, Casey & Aly, AND explore a wonderful new space in our city, The Shop DSM. The ceremony for our couple was outside on the rooftop overlooking DSM and the reception was in a freshly modern space on the first level.

This quaint and chic space was wonderful to work in and work with, and is owned and operated by local firefighters and their families.

We loved being a part of Casey & Aly’s beautiful day and I knew we were a perfect match once I heard her dad is a soccer coach 🙌🏻

They had Brick & Ember pizza truck for dinner, an Ice Cream sundae bar, and the bride’s brother-in-law owns Rolling Taps Beer Coe - check out how cool that setup was!

I love how the universe connected us as it was a wonderful planning journey with special people🩷

Cheers to the Fedders! 🥂

A beautiful room on a gorgeous June night at the Des Moines Heritage Center fundraising for Planned Parenthood

You walked into a room of color : a spectrum of pinks, grey-blue and sage green tones all highlighted on these new watercolor floral linens. Plus, a mixture of seating styles, finished off with our soft seating spaces / furniture benches.

It was a fun event to plan and we loved seeing it all come together ✨

One of our favorite aspects of running a business is getting to know other businesses and organizations that have the need to gather, celebrate, showcase, promote and unite people together. It can be fascinating to know what’s out there.

Did you know that the National Speech & Debate Tournament is being hosted in our city this week?

Events like this have the need to represent and celebrate so we were happy to help with the calling!

Some simple but showy, crisp and clean white floral pieces, helped add some flare.

Good luck to all of these students partaking in this adventure this week! Hats off to you and your analytical thinking! Impressive 🤩

TODAY is the day! One magical day that likely felt was a lifetime away from achieving for most.

The amazing students from Des Moines University have officially graduated and we are so honored to set a special stage for them.

Once upon a time, I, too, (Kelly here) graduated from the PA program at DMU and I know the sacrifices, hard work and dedication it takes to survive and successfully graduate from medical school.

These are some special people who are signing an oath to help others and we are so grateful for them!

Congratulations, Graduates - the world is ready for you! 💜

It was Stacey & Benjamin’s day yesterday, and what a beautiful day it was!

Stacey was a pro at wedding planning - always so organized, quick to make decisions and knew what she wanted. But at the same time, trusted that our team at Bella would make it all come together for her. It was an awesome partnership and we loved our planning journey with one another ✨

Congrats to an awesome couple 🩷

Our day started with a rewarding 56 table luncheon and ended with a beautiful Friday wedding!

It was a pleasure helping with the annual Women Helping Women Luncheon, which is the Mind & Spirit Counseling Center annual benefit
to provide counseling, education, trainings and other services for women, children and families who are underinsured or from low-income households.

Grateful our paths have crossed again with this special event ✨

A Wednesday evening dinner for a special group at Kemin Industries!

AND…a special birthday to one of our favorite girls, one who started off a as a client but quickly became a fast friend to all of us at Bella over the years, the amazing Shallee Keenan. Shallee is the gal we get to plan all of our corporate Kemin adventures with and this girl knows what she’s doing. We easily fall in sync with one another. She’s one of the best corporate planners we know, and together, we’ve put together some incredible experiences over the years whilst laughing along the way. We just love and adore you sister - happiest of birthdays to you from all of us at Bella🩷🫶🏻🩷

It’s not lost on us how many incredible women we work with in our industry - moms who are balancing it all. Day in and day out. Our hats go off to you!

A beautiful, sleek & always classic black & white theme yesterday for Riley & Chris.

The District Venue was a gorgeous backdrop and our B&W dancefloor kicked it up a notch.

Candlelight glistened in clear & textured glassware all sitting next to neutral blooms.

It was a beautiful day for a beautiful couple + a joy to be a part of it all ✨

SO much to celebrate this weekend : proms, bridal showers, sports, amazing weather — and just life. When you’re in a business that helps people celebrate, you get a front row seat to watching it all unfold. And for this, we feel so thankful. I’m watching so many people celebrate their firsts….and their lasts…but don’t forget to celebrate the little moments in between.

Life passes us by so quickly - soak it all up, friends✨

We listen to you talk about all the things you love - and don’t love - for the bouquet you will eventually hold. In the end, it should be exactly what you want it to be! And it will be! Promise.

In this case, a cascade bouquet with orchids…because orchids are a love for this sweet, sweet

We’ve had an incredible week doing what we love - all things artistry, design, floral & decor - alongside those we love 🤍

We are so passionate about supporting our favorite venues & fellow industry friends.

We are celebrating 20 years in this business this year - (you’re going to hear us say this a lot this year as we will be celebrating alll year long) - and it’s the relationships we’ve built along the way that mean so much.

So when one of your favs has an open house, you show up.

We decided a bit on a whim to dream up something big for this staircase. From that point on, our lead designer, Emily, took the reins and her incredible imagination and amazing artistry led the team to the finish line.

And, we already knew we had a gorgeous bride to complete the vision, whom we see and work with every day - our precious Megs! Meghan is Bella’s product specialist, ordering manager, floral fixer and designer extraordinaire. The gorgeous flowers we get in weekly are the result of her hours spent sourcing from all over the world.

In the end, a big art project came together beautifully between all of us at Team Bella and hopefully this inspires you on this special Easter weekend.

Bella is here to help plan, design, floral or decorate any life event that calls for celebration now, and in the future. You will be taken care of by the most passionate, dedicated, talented & caring team.

Cheers to living life to the fullest - living in the moment - appreciating beauty - being your authentic self - and not taking moments for granted ✨

The newly married Nick & Kathleen Bjerkes!
3.16.24

Such a beautiful day with a beloved wedding crew!

With having done over a thousand weddings over 20 years, certain things about certain clients are what often stick in my brain. What I will remember most about Kathleen will be her sweet, sweet nature with quite literally always having a smile on her face - even when wedding planning got a little stressful at times 🙃

We feel so grateful to be planning alongside such wonderful families and helping create the memories they will look back on with a smile, for the rest of their lives. We are the lucky ones ✨
