Kelly, Emily, and the entire crew at Bella Flora are the definition of the dream team. They took a few inspiration pictures and made them come to life for my wedding!! They were INCREDIBLE to work with. From stunning florals to exquisite event design, they truly made my wedding the most beautiful day. No detail went unnoticed. I felt very heard throughout the planning process but they were also able to assist and guide me in areas I wasn’t certain. I cannot recommend working with Bella Flora enough!!

Such a pleasure to have found Bella Flora. They did unbelievably beautiful work for our wedding, our guests are still talking. I didn’t really know what I wanted and I put myself in their hands and they were able to make magic so quickly. Prices are so reasonable and they do not push or pressure you at all. I felt like they actually cared about what I wanted instead of some other spots that were just trying to sell me something big. Lovely lovely people.

She was also incredibly flexible and thoughtful when it came to budget—she really listened to what was important to me and found creative ways to make everything beautiful while staying within my price range.
They showed me my bouquet the day before the wedding, which made everything feel so real and reassured me that we were completely on the same page. And it was stunning!
On the big day, everything turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. The flowers were fresh, perfectly arranged, and truly elevated the entire look and feel of our wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better florist, and I highly recommend Bella Flora to anyone looking for someone talented kind, and incredibly easy to work with!

There are still no words for how incredible the flowers and room at the venue turned out. They went above & beyond what I could have ever imagined. I still think about my bouquet daily and one of the number one compliments we have received from the day is how beautiful the flowers & venue were. Our day wouldn’t have been as amazing without Bella Flora.

Her arrangements are truly breathtaking and we had SO many people comment on how beautiful the flowers were. I know she spent a lot of time getting certain flowers I wanted and adding little details that really made everything special. I can't thank her enough because I still look at those photos and they are everything I could have hoped for. I promise that not only will Bella Flora exceed all expectations but you will have fun working with them! Thank you Bella Flora for everything!!!!

ra after seeing their work on instagram and in a few friends weddings.
I had a general idea of what I wanted for our flowers and decor after graduating with an event management degree and interning for a wedding florist in college. Kelly made that vision come to life and exceeded all expectations I had for our wedding.
One of my favorite parts about the planning process with Kelly and team if a few weeks before the wedding they mock up the centerpieces for you to come look at and give the OK on everything! I had never heard of this before with a wedding florist but I loved it.
Kelly is always quick to respond and was overall incredible to work with. I will use Bella Flora for any future events I have. I can't recommend her more!

I cannot say enough about this team!! Kelly was fantastic to work with. We had to make some pretty big changes two months before our big day because we cut the guest list way down ...
(COVID). They were so flexible, and helped to make our 15 person microwedding feel just as special (if not more special) than our original 300 person wedding.
I had a Pinterest vision in mind, and showed here what I liked and they recreated it perfectly. I was so impressed because my design ideas were not your typical wedding colors, and they brought it all to life wonderfully. We had our ceremony and reception at St. Kilda Collective, and Bella Flora brought that room to LIFE with their decor.
The fact that we could get floral and decor all from the same vendor was huge because that was less people to coordinate day of. I didn't want to worry about making sure that the decor was there before floral so that everything could be arranged perfectly and this took that worry off of me.
I've been to weddings where the bride & groom's family and friends had to tear everything down the night of the wedding and that was always such a mood killer. I'm so thankful for Bella Flora's set up and tear down because that took one more task off of our hands on the big day. My cousin used them a few months prior to us for their large wedding at the Tea Room and had the best experience as well.
Look NO further than Bella Flora, you will not be disappointed!

g certain we would be moving forward with our second date as time got closer, Kelly was very quick to help us with the ideas we had. We had photos from Pinterest with our ideas, and she was specific in questions about what we liked and didn’t like. The outcome of Kelly’s design and efforts were beyond any of the Pinterest photos I had seen. I can say without hesitation that the space was transformed into the most beautiful room I could have imagined. The bridal party bouquets were stunning. There is not one part of it we wished had been different.
Kelly was exceptional to work with...calm, reassuring, kind, and just delightful. In this Covid world that had to be equally stressful for her navigate, she worked with grace to make it look simple. Thank you Kelly for the experience of working with you!
