Des Moines Wedding In July
July, 2007, Des Moines, IA
"Our wedding was more than we could have hoped for. We had a large guest list and tight budget but we were still able to plan an incredible wedding for our friends and family to enjoy. We used Westlakes Hy-Vee in West Des Moines (off Jordan Creek) for our catering and flowers. Stacey in catering was amazing to work with! Since our wedding was a mix of cultures we used their Chinese department for the dinner buffet and we were blown away with the service and quality. The floral department and bakery also did an extraordinary job as well. We used Bella Flora (in West Des Moines) for all of our decorating purposes and Kelly and her mother at Bella Flora transformed our reception hall into an elegant and personal space. I highly recommend both Westlakes Hy-Vee and Bella Flora for any couple who wants a high end wedding for a fraction of the price!! "
