The flowers were beautiful! I would highly recommend Clare. She was great to work with.
I loved how our bouquets turned out!
Clare was easy to work with and her creations were beautiful. I appreciated how easily she worked with the budget I had. The borrowing of items, set-up, and strike service were also amazing.
We loved working with The English Rose and Clare! The flowers were the main star of our wedding. The main staircase was truly breathtaking! We told Clare what we wanted, and she went above and beyond! She was so easy to work with and knew how to perfectly bring our vision to life. Working with The English Rose was truly a delight. The hydrangeas at our wedding were so beautiful! I would highly recommend using The English Rose! (Photos by Laura Wills Photography)
Clare was very professional and worked within our budget. She executed my vision perfectly. Highly recommend!
I am so glad my planner, Yours Truly, introduced me to Clare. It didn’t take long for me to realize not only is she a talented florist, but also just a sweet, compassionate woman. She met with me in person to understand my vision and knew exactly how to make it come to life. I had a hard time explaining what style I wanted or even what flowers I liked, but she calmed all nerves and talked me through everything, including how to best utilize my florals to make the biggest impact. The English Rose is hard to beat and I couldn’t ask for a better florist for my wedding day! I highly recommend!!!
The florals were beautiful! The only reason I give 4 stars is because communication wasn't fantastic, but everything turned out just fine!
Clare was SO amazing to work with!! She is so sweet, great at what she does, and will make your special day/event everything you dreamed of with her beautiful work!! Not only did she do all of my florals, but she did all of my centerpieces!
Clare at The English Rose was absolutely incredible to work with! She is extremely knowledgeable, organized, energetic, and kind. We had a couple meetings leading up to our wedding day to discuss different arrangement styles, pricing, logistics, etc. At each meeting I felt in good hands and that Clare would make my vision come to life...and she did! I could not have been happier with the florals for our big day. They were simply perfect. I highly recommend Clare and The English Rose and would not look any further!
Clare and her team did such an amazing job with all the florals and table decor! She is such a joy to work with! The whole process working with her and her team was super smooth and everything looked and smelled amazing!
Clare was fantastic to work with, and most importantly, our florals were AMAZING!! We used their archway, and it was the perfect ceremony backdrop. Early on, Clare went through a checklist and asked about items that I hadn’t even thought of- like florals for our memorial table. She made setup/cleanup a breeze, and all of our items were perfect. Thank you, Clare!!
Clare was amazing to work with and her work is second to none. Everything was so beautiful.
This company made our flower dreams come true! We had a consultation and talked through all of the options, and I got exactly what I asked for. The flowers were STUNNING!
They arrived on time to drop off the flowers and staff was very friendly when helping set up. The set up was beautiful and better than I could’ve ever dreamed of!
The only downside is the prices are high, but the quality is also high, so it evens out. I would recommend this company for any future brides and grooms!
WOW! The English Rose was absolutely amazing and you NEED to have them at your wedding! Clare was amazing throughout the entire process. We had them make all the florals and the centerpieces for the wedding and wow, was I in good hands! I put my full trust in The English Rose and the came through big! I had so many compliments about the florals! They were stunning!
Claire was great to work with! We had a few last minute changes that she was able to help with. Everything was set up and looked perfect on my wedding day!
We cannot say enough good things about Clare and The English Rose. The flowers for our wedding were absolutely gorgeous and were above and beyond our expectations. Clare was super knowledgeable, gave great advice, and was overall amazing to work with. We are so happy we chose The English Rose for our wedding florals!
I knew our flowers were going to look good but I could not have even imagined how gorgeous! Clare was so much fun to work with and took my vision and translated it into the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen. I would hire her again and again!
Highly recommend The English Rose for any event. Clare was amazing to work with and was able to bring our vision alive. We asked for lots of greenery with white flowers and gold accents for our wedding. The arrangements Clare created for us were beautiful. Clare was extremely mindful of our budget and asking specific details for each piece and aspect of our wedding. If you are looking for an elegant and timeless look for your wedding, The English Rose is a definite must vendor to book.
I am so happy with choosing The English Rose. Clare was incredible to work with and captured my vision perfectly. I had to plan my wedding on very short notice, but they could create flower arrangements that were even better than I was imagining. I am happy that I could trust them, and they delivered an amazing arch, bouquets, and decorative flowers for the venue. I highly recommend The English Rose and will be working with them the next time I need flowers.
Flowers were at the top of my list for our wedding. From our first conversation I knew Clare understood my vision for the day. She absolutely executed my vision and exceeded my expectations. I LOVED all of our flowers. I had some very specific requests for types of flowers and Clare delivered!
We are absolutely FLOORED by the work of Clare and her team at The English Rose. The entire process was seamless and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Clare met with me on two occasions to get the feel of the ceremony and reception space and then delivered more than I could have imagined. While getting ready for the day, her team efficiently designed a beautiful space. It took my breath away to show up for the ceremony and see the masterpiece. She has a true talent and we are blessed to have found her for our special day.
Do it! If you're reading this, BOOK CLARE with The English Rose! Not only is she a small business owner, but she is a wonderful person inside and out. Clare is kind, detail-oriented, and worked with my budget. I would hire her time and time again for events and have been recommending her to ALL of my friends. I hope to work with her again in the future. DO IT! Go with The English Rose! You won't regret it!
Clare was spectacular to work with! She knew just I had in mind after meeting to discuss colors & mood of the wedding. She was so helpful & accommodating while trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic. She was so efficient, I did not even notice/realize she had already delivered the flowers & spread out the greenery. I received so many compliments on how beautiful her arrangements looked!
The English Rose helped turn our dream Pinterest wedding into reality! Clare was so easy to work with and very helpful in the planning process. She kept our budget in mind while also suggesting new decor ideas.
Clare is absolutely amazing! All of the flower arrangements for my daughters wedding at The Barnes Place were stunning. I knew they would be amazing from seeing her work, but I was completely blown away. She went above and beyond my expectations and attention to detail to make the day magical and perfect. I can't even count the number of guests who asked who our florist was and commented how stunning the flowers were. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Clare did an amazing job on our wedding flowers. With only a brief description and a few pictures she was able to take our vision to the next level. She did such an elegant job putting florals on our ceremony arch and all night our guests wanted to take photos in front of it. Our head table was gorgeous, and I loved looking out at our guest tables and seeing the amazing centerpieces. There were several other florals throughout the venue, welcome sign, card box, etc., that really tied everything together and it all looked simply beautiful.
We loved working with Clare and The English Rose. The flowers were stunning. She is wonderful at working with a budget and has such amazing ideas. She does beautiful work and is the kindest person. We love her so much that we have used her for 3 weddings. Each daughter had different styles and tastes and she came through for all of them. I would highly recommend!
Clare is absolutely amazing! She not only understood my vision and executed it beyond my wildest dreams, but she was the most personable kind person to work with. The flowers were all there and in place on time. They looked beyond stunning! Plus, she was extremely affordable! Clare even called me the week of to go over everything and to let me know one of the flowers hadn't come in to her standards so she asked if she could change them out. I appreciated her taking the time to do that and considered my thoughts before changing without me. In all honesty, I probably wouldn't of even noticed the change so I thought that was super nice.
I had met with two other florists in the area and none of them were as kind, affordable, or even as excited to have my business. Plus, who doesn't love working with someone with an English accent?! Thank you for everything Clare!
I highly recommend The English Rose for any floral arrangements! Clare did our wedding and our bouquets and centerpieces were exactly as I had imagined. Clare was extremely easy to work with her work turns out amazing!
I strongly recommend The English Rose for all of your floral needs!! Clare created the floral arrangements for our wedding this summer. I am not very knowledgable about flowers, and thinking about what I wanted to do for flowers was overwhelming. Clare was such a pro. She had lots of ideas and suggestions right from the get-go. She was extremely organized, detail-oriented, timely, and always readily available via calls or texts. Our floral arrangements turned out amazing! Thank you Clare! :)
Clare and the English rose did the flowers for my daughters wedding. They were absolutely beautiful!!! We could not have asked for better. Clare is very professional and her work is top notch!!! Highly recommended!!!
Clare is a true artist! She makes all of your floral dreams come true! I would highly recommend The English Rose for all of your floral needs.
I was absolutely in love with my flowers from
English rose! Her service was excellent and I loved her creativity. She really took my vision and made it better than I could have imagined! I had a tropical colored theme wedding and it was truly like I was in paradise. I recommend 10/10. Beautiful woman and beautiful work!
Could not agree with all of the reviews here more - Clare with The English Rose was absolutely amazing to work with for my daughter's recent wedding!! We ordered a good-sized quantity of flowers and bouquets and then, six weeks out, decided the 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!!!
A-MAZ-ING! Clare was such a gem to work with. She has an eye for floral design! If you're wanting classic, edgy or unique, Clare is your girl! Plus she works with any budget. Don't underestimate what she can do with a couple grand ;)
Thank you Clare!!!
Clare was outstanding to work with! She helped me stay in budget when I decided to change the floral style a few months before the wedding. She is simply the best, my guests where in awe of the floral arrangements and bouquets.
Clare was such a gem to work with - she truly made my vision come to life. We got compliments all day on our flowers, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
One of the best vendor choices I made for my wedding! Clare helped make my wedding vision come to life and I got so many compliments on my magical floral bouquets. Look no further if you’re looking for the “best” florist in the Des Moines area!
Clare was absolutely AMAZING! She made my wedding planning easy and was fantastic to work with. Her work is beautiful. We got married June, 29 2019 and it was quite possibly the hottest day of the year but she showed up and got to work! I had so many compliments on my flowers and I am so thankful I chose Clare with The English Rose for my wedding!
Claire at The English Rose is a true master at floral arrangements! The flowers for my daughter’s wedding were breathtaking! She’s delightful to work with and took a few extra last minute add ons in stride. So very pleased with our choice of The English Rose!
I was referred to Clare by several people and she did not disappoint! I was very happy with her ability to bring my vision to life and work within my budget. She was able to provide greenery table decor and all the wearable flowers and bouquets 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!
Clare was so easy to work with! I went in with a couple pictures for inspiration and she did the rest. Took a lot of pressure off of me. I highly suggest using The English Rose !
Soooo happy with how the flowers turned out. It was all I ever wanted and more
Claire was awesome to work with! She really understood my vision and was able to make it come to life! She also came through with additional last minute arrangements when we moved our ceremony inside due to weather. I would definitely recommend her to any bride!
My experience with The English Rose was nothing short of perfect! :) Clare was so attentive and easy to work with from the very beginning. She was very respectful of our budget and was able to bring my floral dreams to a reality! We were even able 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!
Clare is absolutely amazing! I first met Clare at a bridal show, where she had a beautiful bouquet on display that was exactly my style. My dad and her also bonded over being British and growing up in England. She was very responsive to emails 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!
Our flowers were absolutely beautiful and Clare did an amazing job!! I wasn't really sure what I wanted or how much my budget was and Clare was totally understanding and made my ideas a reality! The centerpieces and bouquets are just stunning and 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!
Beautiful work!
The English Rose was so great to work with! Easy to contact, worked so well with our budget, was knowledgable, and created beautiful flower arrangements!
Clare is amazing! The flowers for our wedding turned out so beautiful and blew my expectations out of the water. From the start, Clare was so great about responding and giving me information I needed to make a decision about a florist. Clare was 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.
Clare was amazing to work with! The arrangements were beautiful! They were exactly what we had asked for and more.
Clare was amazing to work with! The flowers at my wedding were one of my favorite parts! I still love looking at all the pictures of them! Clare was amazing to work with and educated me so I could make the best decision! I will be recommending her to everyone I know!
Clare was great! I reached out to her because she was highly recommended to me from a few different friends whom had recently gotten married. From the first meeting, I felt extremely comfortable and confident that she would be able to create my 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!
Clair is beyond amazing in every single aspect of the floral process. She listened to everything my fiancé and I were looking for, gave us REALISTIC options for our ideas, and executed the ideas she laid out beyond what we could have ever imagined. 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.
Claire is such a doll! Her arrangements are SO PERFECT!! She made some floral pumpkin table settings for my friends wedding and they were so cute that at the end of the wedding the bride and groom had so many requests from their guests, they stood up, took the DJ’s mic and let everyone know that “they could take the floral centerpieces home”!!
Clare was wonderful to work with! She totally met my vision and exceeded expectations when it came to flowers. Pricing was reasonable, and she does not skimp on flowers. You get a whole lot of bang for your buck. They were all so full and beautiful— we got many compliments on them. Even the bridesmaids’ bouquets looked stunning. Everything was on time and correct. No complaints at all!! Highly recommend.
Attention to detail is what I describe Clare as. She took the theme of our wedding and the photo we gave her of our centerpieces and she worked within our budget for flowers. Her flower arrangements last for weeks after our wedding!!
An absolute joy to work with! I had no idea what kinds of flowers I wanted and she gave me all sorts of cost effective ideas and stayed well within our budget! We met up with her when she was due to have a child in ONE WEEK. She kept the meeting. 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!
Meeting with Clare was so easy and she knew exactly what I wanted! Her prices are very reasonable considering how beautiful the arrangements were! She was very easy to work with, very patient with me. Highly recommend!
Words cannot express how amazing The English Rose was with the flowers for our wedding. She is beyond personable, easy to work with and her work is beautiful. Clare took the ideas and pictures I showed her and made our floral arrangements even 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.
She was fun and easy to work with! She did a great job working within my budget. :)
The flowers were AMAZING! They were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Clare was easy to work with and did a fantastic job. I absolutely loved my bouquet.
I enjoyed working with Clair, but once I had to cut the centerpieces I felt like she cared less about our wedding. She dropped off the flowers and my dad had to ask what flowers were for who, and the flowers I specifically cared about were not what I was expecting
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Clare and the English Rose! When she met with my mother and I, after talking through my vision and looking at some ideas I had from Pinterest , she immediately took my vision and ran with it! She was 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!
The bouquets and arrangements that Clare at The English Rose created for my daughter's wedding were beyond stunning! My daughter had a basic idea of the style and colors that she wanted, and had a couple of pictures to show Clare. Clare used her 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!
Great florist. I didn't know how to put into words my floral ideas but Claire saw my vision and brought it to reality. So happy with my wedding bouquets, they were gorgeous!
To put it simply, every time I think of Claire from this moment forward, I'm going to see her with a super hero cape on! She was so fantastic to work with and she definitely saw my vision. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and everyone loved 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!
Clare did a amazing job with the flowers for our wedding! Our first consultation was on the phone since I was out of state and then we met once in Ankeny to go over more specific details. We rented vases and the drop off after the wedding was very efficient and quick. The flowers were gorgeous and made our day extra special!!
Clare did an amazing job for our wedding. Very affordable and just beautiful creations. I highly recommend going through her.
Clare is amazing!! My flowers were absolutely perfect and she did it at an affordable price. I would definitely recommend!
Clare is so passionate about her work and it truly shows in the quality of her flowers. She does a wonderful job listening to what you want and is very knowledgeable in her field. Our flowers were beautiful and I would highly recommend her.
Our experience with Clare at The English Rose was top-notch. From the initial consultation to the final delivery, our entire vision was brought to life. Clare's experience in working with so many of the local Des Moines venues truly helped us 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!
I cannot say enough great things about Clare at the English Rose. I was not looking to spend too much of our budget on flowers, and originally wanted to do my own centerpieces, but after meeting with Clare, she picked up on my theme and knew exactly 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!
Clare was so fun and easy work work with!
She was respectful of our budget - when telling her what I was wanting she gave me suggestions of the same look with similar flowers at a lower price, which was very helpful. Not to mention, she has such 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.
We are so fortunate to have The English Rose in Central Iowa. Clare is enchanting and her flowers and floral designs inspired. From first planning session to wedding day she was a delight to work with- so professional and creative. My daughter'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
Flowers were beautiful!! Clare was amazing and very helpful. Love!!
Clare is a wonderful florist! She is so helpful and incredibly talented. The bouquets looked exactly like I envisioned, and the centerpieces were beautiful and looked so great with the venue. Clare always got back to me with questions as soon as possible, was very accommodating, and all around great. I would highly recommend her as a florist!
Overall I wanted silk flowers on a lower budget. She was great and made everything so simple, I highly recommend her for real and or silk flowers.
Absolutely loved my wedding flowers! English Rose did my bouquets, centerpieces and ceremony arrangements. I would not change a thing about how they looked!
Clare is amazing!! She listened to all of my ideas and brought them to life. She answered my countless emails and put my mind at ease. She is so amazing and talented, I had so many compliments on our flowers!! I would recommend her over and over again!
Clare did an absolutely amazing job with my wedding flowers. They are the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen! She designed them exactly as I had pictured in my head.. even better actually. The price was very reasonable and I would recommend The English Rose to anyone needing flowers for a special event! Thank you, Clare!!
We love Clare! She did a fantastic job on our flowers. She was able to offer amazing insight at the initial consultation and steer me in a direction that worked so well for our ambiance while still sticking to the basic vision that I had in my 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.
Clare was a pleasure to work with throughout the flower decision process! Everything for the wedding was gorgeous!! We had so many compliments on all of our reception and altar flowers, including our bouquets. She really made sure that she went above and beyond what we had talked about to make sure all flowers were perfect!
I'd like to thank Clare for helping me decide on my flowers and working with me to make my wedding day very special. Everything looked wonderful - especially the large bouquets for the ceremony and the small bouquets on shepard's hooks that were 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!
Flowers were able to be delivered to venue we were very thankful for that. They turned out very nice. Clare was able to work with us to be able to get the look we wanted and also to keep it with in the budget we had set for flowers. A nice surprise 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.
Clare did a great job with our flowers! I didn't really know what I wanted but she did a great job working with our wedding planner and working with my random ideas to make everything beautiful and cohesive!
We chose The English Rose for her balance of quality vs cost. We had 5 bridal party bouquets, 15 boutonnieres/corsages, a toss bouquet, and 2 altar vases and they were just amazing. I am so happy we decided on fresh floral for our wedding. Clare 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!
Clare at the English Rose was wonderful to work with from the start. She is incredibly creative and doesn't always do the traditional wedding flowers which isn't my style. The flowers were one area I was going to scale back on and after finding 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!
Clare is so intuitive about what brides are looking for, and has SO much experience! I had some ideas, but browsing through her Facebook page at photos and talking through what I wanted from the wedding with her, she was able to lead me to EXACTLY 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!
Clare was amazing to work with, she did a great job helping me figure out what I wanted with my bouquets, centerpieces and other flowers set up for my venue. She was able to provide me with all kinds of helpful information about different flowers 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!
Clare did a wonderful job capturing what I wanted. I wasn't 100% sure what flowers I wanted, but from her facebook and website I loved her style and knew she would come up with something beautiful for me.
Clare was amazing to work with.
She was recommended to me by multiple people and i will recommend her to everyone i know!
I felt she really understood my ideas when we met. She was polite and professional. She was priced well, in fact she 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.
Clare was great to work with. She really listened to what I wanted. Never tried to tell me what I wanted :) We chose not to do corsages or boutineres and she never pushed us (like other florists we interviewed). I was working in a budget and that 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.
She does a beautiful job with not only bouquets, but also alter arrangements and centerpieces.
Clare is a fabulous florist! Very knowledgeable, professional, gives ideas, listens to what you want and is so very nice! The large arrangements she made for our ceremony were soooo beautiful!!!!! I loved all of her work and definitely recommend her to any bride!
Clare did a fantistic job with all of my flowers for our wedding. We met with her at a coffee shop, talked about what i had in mind and what i liked and didn't like and she gave us a quote right there. Her prices were unbelievable too. The day 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!
Clare is simply amazing. I sent her an email panicking when then bridesmaid dresses came in a different color then they were suppose to. She assured me the flowers we had picked would still work and she was right. The flowers turned out better 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!!!
My mom found Clare somewhere online and I'm soo happy she did! Clare was charming, listened to my vision, worked around my budget, and then produced bouquets and centerpieces that exceeded my expectations. She is very comprehensive and is on the ball! Loved working with Clare!
The flowers were amazing and the price was very reasonable. I will be recommending her to every bride I know. She is also great at other arrangements!!
