Working with Jennie at Bellisario Florist for our wedding was an absolute dream. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our vision and helped bring it to life in ...
a way that exceeded every expectation. We were planning a black-and-white winter wedding and wanted our florals to feature beautiful winter greenery with pops of white flowers. Jennie understood exactly what we were looking for and created something truly stunning.
One of the things I appreciated most was Jennie's expertise and guidance throughout the planning process. She provided thoughtful recommendations on floral selections and helped us choose flowers that would not only fit our vision but would also hold up well in the cold winter weather. It was clear that she genuinely cared about every detail and wanted everything to be perfect.
When I first saw the flowers on our wedding day, I was completely speechless. My bouquet was breathtaking, and every arrangement was even more beautiful than I had imagined. The florals perfectly captured the elegant winter atmosphere we had envisioned and transformed our venue in the most incredible way.
What sets Jennie apart is not only her talent and creativity but also how much she truly cares about her clients. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process, making me feel supported, heard, and confident every step of the way. Looking back at our wedding photos, I'm still in awe of how beautiful everything was.
I am so grateful to Jennie and the entire Bellisario Florist team for helping make our wedding day so special. If you're looking for a florist who is talented, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life, I cannot recommend Jennie highly enough.
Our wedding was BEAUTIFUL! Jennie, who we worked with, was always friendly and helpful. We are out of state, so we only saw photos and Zoom video of examples, but the finished prod...
uct was amazing. Jennie showed us options that fit our color palette and matched the example/inspiration photos we sent; we gave feedback, mostly taking her advice; and the result was breathtaking. It fit in perfectly elegantly at our venue. We also requested centerpieces for a newlywed brunch the next day using all the same kinds of flowers, which they were happy to add on.
Personal flowers: The bouquets were sturdy and lasted all day. (Note for prospective brides and bridesmaids: flowers are heavy. The bouquet WILL weigh more than you expect, and you WILL notice after you've been holding it for a while! It's so worth it, but just keep that in mind.) We requested very simple things for the men's boutiniers (sp?), just a single flower each. Jennie suggested a tiny piece of greenery too, and that worked well. Finally, the wristlets for the moms were beautiful too.
Bellisario did a wonderful job complementing the natural beauty of our venue and executing the vision we had with florals for our special day! We worked with Ralph and really appre...

Every bouquet and centerpiece was elegant, fresh, and perfectly matched our vision. The colors, textures, and attention to detail were simply stunning. You could feel the care and artistry that went into every arrangement.
Working with the Bellisario team was also a dream—they were attentive, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. We are so grateful to them for adding such beauty and joy to our celebration. Highly, highly recommended!

ht pinks and light purples, with purple bridesmaid dresses. The purple roses and small purple flowers that were in the arrangements matched the shade of the bridesmaid dress precisely - I don't know how Bellisario does it! And even though peonies have a short season, they are my favorite flower and Ralph managed to add some white peonies into the absolutely stunning bridal bouquet. All the wedding guests complimented the flowers all night long too. The flowers came out beyond what we expected and we cannot thank Bellisario enough for making our vision come to life and being part of this special day with us!
Our florals for the wedding were absolutely gorgeous! The whole process was very organized and Bellisario’s communication was fantastic. Never left me hanging. Even when the flower...

Bellisario did was stunning and so beautiful. There are no words to describe how incredible the room looked from the flower centerpieces with lots of beautiful candles to the flowers decorating the cake and the gorgeous bridal bouquets. Everything was perfect and I loved working with Jennie who was incredibly helpful and so easy to work with. Jennie is very talented and has an eye for setting up a gorgeous table with beautiful chargers, table overlays, chivari chairs and stunning vases and candle holders. This Florist is absolutely incredible with what they do.
Amazing company to work with. I initially had a difficult time bringing all my ideas together, but working together to Jennie truly helped bring it to life. My favorite part of the...
day was walking in to see the reception space for the first time. It literally took my breath away and far exceeded my expectations.

they deliver they over deliver on what they do. Ralph was an all-star.

My wife and I could not be happier with how great of a job they did. Ralph thank you for making Emily and I's day amazing.

candles! Although I could not quite see the vision with all the candles as a final product while at the showroom, it blew me away when I saw it in person. It lit the room exactly as you described and even reflected in the glass ceiling to look like stars. I received compliments from just about everyone in the room!! I would not hesitate to recommend Bellisario for any floral need you have!
I would not hesitate to use Bellisario Flowers for any other event we have or refer them to anyone who asks. Thank you again for making my daughter's wedding a dream come true!!

n and the flowers were stunning. Jennie understood my vision and made it come to life in a beautiful way. Our centerpieces were the talk of the reception and the bouquets were picture perfect. The flowers are so so fresh and lasted for WEEKS after the wedding. Our guests loved being able to take them home and enjoy fresh cut flowers for weeks even in the dead of winter (we had a January wedding). The whole team was helpful with knowing what flowers would be available during the winter for our day and they were so so perfect!
Hands down the best decision was to hire Bellisario for our flowers. Our wedding was a month ago and every guest who was there said they were the most beautiful arrangements they h...
ad ever seen. My husband and I know nothing about flowers and told Jennie that we wanted burgundy, orange, and cream flowers with some carnations and lilies of the valley to honor our deceased grandmothers and olive leaves to symbolize my Greek heritage but otherwise to do what she thought would look good for an outdoor fall wedding. WOW I cannot begin to say how beautiful the flowers were. They smelled beautiful, were all in bloom, and were stunning.

l to have gotten that advice!! You work one on one with an actual owner of the business, and they work with all price points.
To see my inspo pics come to life, with the design guidance from Jennie, it surpassed all expectation. Guests could not stop raving about how elegant the flowers were, they were fresh, full, and FABULOUS. All of our rentals through Bellisario were pristine and exactly what I envisioned.
I cannot recommend Bellisario enough. Jennie’s communication is excellent, and this was an area of the wedding I never stressed about because she was on top of literally everything. As a bride, I cannot express what that meant- this family puts their heart into every event. Thank you!

The team is amazing and made our wedding very memorable to not only us, but all of our family and friends. Advice: Trust the professionals! I showed Jennie one inspiration photo and told her to have fun with it and that I trust her. She absolutely blew us away when we walked into our ceremony and reception. Everything was more than what we could have ever imagined. Thank you Bellisario!!!

t, didn't try to oversell us, and treated us as a very important customer, even though I know our wedding was modest in relation to other customer's orders. I will definitely use them again and again.
You will not find a better florist in Michigan than Bellisarios. Jennie was amazing to work with from start to finish. I explained my vision for my wedding at our first meeting and...
she instantly sent me pictures of previous weddings she had done to understand the look I was going for. She understood the vision for the wedding so much that she came up with suggestions for decor pieces I hadn't even thought possible. She was extremely communicative and clear and even provided me with suggestions for cutting costs, which other florists definitely would not have done. Each and every one of my emails, calls and texts were replied to the same day and she made sure to clearly explain where each cost in our final invoice was coming from. She also provided me with amazing recommendations for other vendors to work with to create backdrops for our wedding. When I saw our mandap and reception hall, my jaw literally dropped because Jennie created the most magical spaces I had ever seen. I truly could not have asked for a better florist and Jennie was hands down one of the best vendors I worked with while planning my wedding.

t she made the planning enjoyable. She deserves more than a five star rating because my daughter's venue changed three times because of Covid. My table sizes kept changing and then the reception ended up outside under a tent. She helped me not only design the floral arrangements but also the draping, lights, and chandeliers inside the tent. I contracted them to do that also. She came up with ideas for the entrance and walkway into the tent that were superb. My guests were blown away as much as I was. She also came to our home and draped out staircase and bedroom for pictures with the photographer. She made our mantle on our fireplace beautiful for pictures and video. She can do it all!! I cannot wait to hire her again in the future for other parties and showers. Ralph, Jennie and the entire staff also decorated the church beyond what most florists would do. They changed all the blue taping for distancing to white to look better in pictures and in the video. They have been in business for over 50 years and its because they do excellent work and truly care about their customers. I would text Jennie all hours and days of the week, because of venue changes, and she always answered me and told me not to stress, she will take care of everything and she did. This florist treats you like family and they deserve a ten not a five rating!
