e altar needed some floral bouquets to complement the space. We let her know how much we were willing to add to the budget for those additions and she did not disappoint. They were absolutely STUNNING and added the exact finishing touch to a beautiful wedding!! We HIGHLY recommend! Thank you, Clare!!!

u Clare!!!

o many compliments on my flowers and I am so thankful I chose Clare with The English Rose for my wedding!

e English Rose!

for my wedding (4 bridesmaids, 4 groomsmen) for just over $1,000. Clare made sure to contact me a week before my wedding to confirm our plans, which was reassuring. She did a beautiful job!

her to any bride!

ble to rent all of our center pieces from her as well, which made our lives much easier. I cannot thank Clare enough and highly recommend The English Rose to anyone!

and flexible in scheduling phone calls, which was very important since we were planning long-distance. We provided pictures as inspiration for what our vision was and everything Clare described in our consultation was like she was in my head! During the planning process, I actually had to lower my floral budget and I changed what I wanted my centerpieces to look like. Clare took it in stride and was still able to create exactly what I wanted. A couple of weeks before, I even asked her to make a flower collar for one of my dogs and she was able to add that in last minute. On our wedding day, Clare delivered all the florals, set up everything she could, and left directions on how to keep the remaining flowers fresh until use. Everything she created was breathtaking! I seriously wanted to cry because everything came together perfectly and was everything I wanted. My bouquet was huge and heavy because it had so many flowers in it. Everyone kept saying how gorgeous all of our flowers were. I would recommend Clare to anyone!

nd elegant and looked perfect with our theme. If you're ever on the fence about using real or fake flowers, look at The English Rose and you won't doubt that real flowers are the best way to go!

s incredibly wonderful to work with and her prices are very reasonable for the area. Be sure to check out her facebook page for pictures of previous bouquets she has made because they are so unique.

her to everyone I know!

vision. She asked for examples of what I liked, and from there was able to tell me her recommendations for specific flowers. It came in under budget and looked amazing on our big day!

ned. If you are looking for a florist who will listen to what you have to say, work with you on your dreams, and deliver not only exceptional flowers but exceptional service, your search is over. Clair is THE ONE.

ood up, took the DJ’s mic and let everyone know that “they could take the floral centerpieces home”!!

iful— we got many compliments on them. Even the bridesmaids’ bouquets looked stunning. Everything was on time and correct. No complaints at all!! Highly recommend.

g. Awesome. I had some changes last minute due to some unfortunate circumstances and she rolled with them wonderfully. Flowers were delivered within the time she said they would be. I cannot recommend her enough!

better than what we pictured that left me speechless. I HIGHLY recommend using The English Rose for floral arrangements for your wedding. Best and local Florist, hands down.

what I was expecting

able to make recommendations for my bouquets and centerpieces that were not only beautiful but very much on trend as well. She listened to my preferences and was able to show us pictures of past work. She was very prompt at answering questions through my planning process and made recommendations about other things that would coordinate with the florals she would be creating for our big day! I would hire her again and again!

r amazing talent to choose just the right flowers and color combinations that resulted in gorgeous bouquets. The English Rose also provided table arrangements and two large vases that were used at both the ceremony and the reception. Her eye for design is exceptional, and Clare is easy and fun to work with. I loved that my daughter's wedding flowers were so unique and extraordinary! We had so many compliments from our guests. Thanks again, Clare!

d them. She took such great care in creating each of our bouquets and the pride she has in her business shows because of it. Thank you, Claire! I can't imagine our day any other way!

ery efficient and quick. The flowers were gorgeous and made our day extra special!!

to create the soft, romantic atmosphere we were hoping for. Her floral arrangements added the finishing touches for our centerpieces, as well as the bridal party bouquets. Clare was recommended to us through mutual friends and I won't hesitate to send others her direction!

actly what I was looking to have at our ceremony and reception. She helped us stay within budget, while providing us beautiful arrangements, bouquets and service. She's a sweetheart and we absolutely loved working with her!

ch a vast knowledge of flowers and is so incredibly talented. I absolutely loved my flowers and had numerous complements on them from family and friends too.

s wedding flowers on August 20th were breath taking AND an added benefit for this mother of the bride was I got to have the flowers in our home while the newlyweds honeymooned! It has been like living in an English rose garden!!! Many thanks Clare

s possible, was very accommodating, and all around great. I would highly recommend her as a florist!

r again!

d The English Rose to anyone needing flowers for a special event! Thank you, Clare!!

mind. Clare was able to mix shapes and textures in the bouquet and centerpieces to make things visually interesting and beautiful even though I picked almost all white for my flowers. She was so flexible in the delivery schedule even letting us pick up some of the items early for photos. We would recommend her to any and everyone and can't wait to use her again.

t above and beyond what we had talked about to make sure all flowers were perfect!

e staggered along the aisle. I especially loved my bouquet and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for an easy to work with florist that is resonably priced!

rise was that day of the wedding we had real flower petals brought as a bonus for the flower girl to throw that matched our wedding colors perfect so that was a nice touch to the wedding.

e did a spectacular job taking my ideas and inspiration photos and turning them into the most exquisite creations that fit perfectly with the overall look and feel of our day! Clare was super easy to work with and made our day that much more special!

prices online I had to compare it to one local florist and found out she was the SAME price. Her work is absolutely beautiful and I'm so glad I was able to shop local and find some beautiful unique flowers!

CTLY what I was looking for! Our wedding was beautiful and the reception was even more gorgeous - we had 4 different styles of floral centerpieces. The best part is Clare loves her job and gets SO excited talking to you about the pieces you chose - you can tell she is truly passionate. She is very dependable and an absolute sweetheart - HIGHLY recommend Clare! I will be suggesting her to all my friends and family from now on!

ers and how they would look together, and was able to show me picture examples. She worked with me when I needed to make small changes and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted to have my flowers look like. She did an amazing job and I would recommend her to everyone!

he was almost $1000 less than the quote i received from HyVee. The flowers turned out beautifully. I received so many compliements on my bouquet and the centerpeices were amazing. She agreed to put Peonies in my bouquet if they were available, and to my surprise she ended up adding them into centerpeices as well.

at was just fine with her. Gave us a price in our intial interview, which was nice. And she also incorporated my something borrowed. She was great!! Very quick on the email response as well.

d her to any bride!

of the wedding my jaw dropped at how spot on she got the flowers to look JUST how I was hoping they would look! HIghly recommend!

er than I had dared dream. Everything was simply stunning from the bouquet to the center pieces. I love looking at my wedding pictures just to see the flowers. I really wish I could attach a picture of my bouquet. If you live in Des Moines or the surrounding suburbs you need Clare for your wedding!!!

e ball! Loved working with Clare!

o my wedding dreams. We worked closely together to create a "modern rustic" floral theme that didn't break the bank and looked fantastic at my wedding and wedding reception. I would highly recommend Clare to all weddings in the Des Moines area. She is personable, easy to get a hold of (and stay in contact with), and will work with any budget. She also did a great job using materials I gave her (variety of mason jars, hay bale twine, etc) and intertwined it into our theme. Our wedding party & guests commented all night how beautiful our arrangements were.

u what you want on your special day.

comend The English Rose to any bride or anyone looking for a florist.

erything and let me ask questions and gave her opinions. I went with my gut even though I was still a little unsure if my bouquets and arrangements should have a little something extra than the simple rose. Clare did a fabulous job of putting these arrangements together with some ribbon and pearls that they did not look simple at all - they were extremely beautiful and elegant! Clare is always cheerful and a complete joy to work with. I HIGHLY recommend her, and feel extremely lucky to have been able to work with her. Also, she was about half the cost of other florists I quoted - including centerpieces!

exactly what I had envisioned. I would recommend Clare to anyone and be confident to do so. Another thing, for the quality of work she does, her cost is extremely inexpensive!

e right direction and helped me decide which flowers would work best with my color scheme and with our personalities. She worked hard to find the exact flowers I wanted for the time of year. On my wedding day, the first thought that went through my head when I saw the reception area completely decorated was, "*gasp!* the flowers are GORGEOUS!" I would definitely work with Clare again!
