Maya and her team are my top recommendation in Des Moines. They handle everything from consultation to full coordination, and their florals are the best I’ve seen in Iowa — from a single bouquet to full design and large-scale installations. You can book them for planning, florals, or both, and every wedding I’ve worked with them has been seamless, beautiful, and stress-free for the couple.

Flower Disco is my all-time favorite florist — Steph is cool, edgy, and wildly creative. I’ve photographed so many of her installations, and every single one has been unforgettable. She treats florals as art, flowering weddings and events worldwide with bold, sculptural designs and full-scale event styling. Based in Colorado, Flower Disco is a luxury floral and event design studio that can take on weddings of any size and make them feel completely original.
