  Amazing Experience with Bella Flora!

  Mary at Bella Flora is amazing! She was my florist for my wedding on 09/28 and all the floral arraignments and bouquets were beautiful. She is knowledgable, talented, kind and listens to what you want. She is also respectful of your budget, never tries to sell you things you don't want/need, and gives you suggestions to save some money and stay within your budget.

  Mary was absolutely wonderful to work with! I chose to go with Bella Flora for my wedding flowers because she was so knowledgeable and I felt at ease knowing I was in good, professional hands. The flowers were gorgeous and I couldn't be happier. She was so flexible and accommodating when I needed to make last minute changes. And a nice bonus is that my wedding was a week and a half ago and I still have some of the flowers looking absolutely beautiful! Thank you Mary!

  Bella Flora was the perfect wedding florist for my wedding (on 9.1.18). Mary helped to bring my “maybe not so realistic” Pinterest goals to life! She even replicated the unique centerpieces that I had pinned to my wedding board! She went above and beyond to bring my wedding day vision to life all while remaining reasonably priced!

  Mary was really a joy to work with and she delivered such beautiful flowers for our wedding. We had a budget in mind and showed her different images for what we wanted, and Mary helped to make it look almost exactly like the pictures and in many cases really exceeded our expectations. She made some great suggestions for how to swap out a few of the more expensive flowers in the images to help us stay in budget and still have the arrangements look beautiful with the aesthetic we desired. She also had a great idea to reuse the flowers from our arbor on our head table to save some money but still have some beautiful arrangements. Working with Mary you really know that she is trying to do her best to bring your vision to life and make your day special. The other thing I love about Mary is that no matter what your budget, she never makes you feel small. I spoke with some other florists who were really rude when they heard what we were hoping to spend, but Mary didn't act that way at all. I highly recommend her to everyone, you will not be disappointed!
  
  I liked the flowers so much that I'm currently trying to dry them to keep long term!

  Mary did the flowers for my son’s wedding in Mystic this past weekend. The bouquets, center pieces, arrangements, corsages and boutonnières were exquisite! Beyond my expectations! Mary is an artist!!!

  Bella Flora and specifically Mary made our wedding vision a reality. While I was open to different flowers, I definitely knew the overall look I was going for and Mary was able to educate us on different flowers and offer creative ideas that she thought would look best that far exceeded any expectations I initially had. Any requests we had whether it was months in advance or a couple of days when we stopped in to visit, she was open to and did whatever she could to accommodate and make our dreams come true. All of our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful our center pieces, bouquets, and additional flowers she added across the venue were. Her professionalism, expertise, the value, and her artistry when it comes to flowers and making an area beautiful are all reasons that I am so blessed to have worked with her and has even driven my sister to use her for her upcoming wedding next year as well. Thank you Mary!

  My mom and I had decided to make our own arrangements and to just go to local stores and get flowers in the two days prior to the wedding. We had not planned that there would be nothing in the stores because when we did the trial run in CA there were no problems. Luckily we were staying at a hotel down the street and my Dad went to the Bella Flora and talked to them and they were wonderful. They were able to get us what we needed the next morning and the flowers were beautiful and they were so friendly! They truly saved us and made it possible for me to have a bouquet. If there was a next time I'd just have them do it all and then we wouldn't even have to stress about it. I strongly recommend them!

  Mary from Bella Flora is very easy to work with and is a straight shooter. If you're organized, then she'll be accommodating and a great partner in making your wedding less stressful. Her prices are fair, avoiding the inflated cost that many florists apply to their products. She also made some great suggestions for us, so take her opinion into account when you're planning your wedding.

  I cannot even begin to explain how incredible Mary at Bella Flora was during my entire wedding process. I can easily say that I was a huge pain in the you know what (but I was a NICE pain!) - I was extremely particular about my wedding flowers. I changed them several times, but I never doubted that they would be absolutely stunning. When the day arrived and Mary brought the flowers, I nearly lost it they were so beautiful. They exceeded my expectations and I was thrilled. From the ceremony arrangements, the centerpieces, the bouquets, and even the boutonnières - perfect! You will NOT regret using Mary for any of your floral needs, especially your wedding flowers! Thank you Mary, for everything!!

  Mary did a beautiful job and completely brought my wedding vision to life! It was important to me that the day look a certain way. I wanted our flowers to complement our venue and to look loose and natural. Mary was completely open to all of my ideas, and she suggested ideas that would enhance the look I was going for. About a month before our wedding we found out that some of the major flowers that we would be using would no longer be available for our July wedding. Mary patiently worked with me to suggest substitutes that would keep our original vision intact. On the day of the wedding I was blown away by how beautiful everything was. From my gorgeous bouquet to the bridesmaids bouquets, bouts, centerpieces and incredible ceremony decor, everything was beautiful and even better than I could have imagined. Mary has a great eye and she did an amazing job. I would highly recommend Mary and Bella Flora!

  Amazingly creative with her ideas to incorporate flowers that my mom had used at her wedding back in the 70s when Plumosa was all the rage ??

  My flowers were sadly the last on my list, initially I was trying to avoid using them at all except for my bouquets. I went to Mary 5 months before the wedding and she gave me her all including using her day off at the beach to brainstorm what she was planning our centerpieces and bouquets. Everything came out beautifully, the flowers smelled wonderful, every flower was perfect and she arrived on time to drop off the flowers. When she created the mock up centerpieces she was just excited as I was to make them. We even played a game to give out the centerpieces. I am so happy she makes floral arrangements for the starbucks in the plaza and inspired my mother-in-law to suggest her. I will be contacting her for all my floral arrangments in the future!

  I loved these ladies. They worked within my budget and provided gorgeous, unique centerpieces. I wanted each piece to be drastically different, but with the same flowers - irises, calla lillies, white lillies, cherry blossoms and lilac. The time they spent creating these must have been over the top, because the product was phenomenal. Even though the centerpieces were created for guests to take home, I saw many "sneaking" them out the back door as if they thought they weren't supposed to take them. It was hilarious, but a testament to the beauty these fine ladies put together.

  Mary was creative, personable and fantastic. Her pricing was extremely competitive, she was very flexible and knowledgeable. The flowers were beautiful. My only issue, and it got to be a big one, is that the flowers in my bouquet did not stay in. Everyone else's were perfect but the tubes she put into the green block keep falling out. I didn't bang it around, etc. I didn't pick it up until we left the house and then it was put down in the limo and not touched- but before I even walked down the aisle roses and picasso lilies were dropping fast. We stuck them back in and was very careful during the ceremony and it went ok (no more falling out) but it was scary for a bit. I would still highly recommend her and just mention the issue because she was really great to work with, pretty flowers and her pricing killed the competition.

  I was dissappointed with Bella Flora. We used them to create our bridal party flowers and the church arrangements. I had a sample bouquet made b/c I wanted a very specific look to my bouquet. The sample was beautiful, they got everything right, unfortunately, the bouquet that arrived on my wedding day looked nothing like it. The men's boutonnières were also all wrong as they were not supposed to have greenery and instead, were loaded with extra leaves.
  Despite having two meetings with the staff, countless emails back and forth, having a sample made, and having a written detailed contract, our wedding flowers were not what we discussed.

  I felt let down by Bella Flora. I had shown her pictures and we went over exactly the types of flowers & colors that I wanted. The day of the wedding, the centerpieces and bouquets did not match what I had requested. In fact, I felt like I paid for certain flowers that I did not receive in the centerpieces. While the owner was pleasant to work with, it's disappointing to see something completely unexpected on your tables on your wedding day, and especially for your own bouquet. The invoice she sent me for payment was a Google worksheet that she shared, so that was a tad unprofessional (and a little sketchy). I wouldn't recommend them to future brides.
