A stunning event begins long before the guests arrive. It starts with a vision — a feeling, a colour, a sense of place — and it is our job to translate that vision into floral reality. At Designs by Bernie, we specialize in large-scale event and wedding florals that transform venues into unforgettable environments. From intimate wedding ceremonies to grand gala celebrations, we bring precision, creativity, and genuine passion to every project we take on.
We are based in Carroll, Iowa, and have spent years building deep relationships with the event industry throughout the region. Our reputation as a highly recommended vendor among Carroll՚s most prestigious historical venues is one we have earned through consistent excellence — and one we protect with every event we design.
Wedding Florals
Your wedding day deserves flowers that feel as meaningful as the moment itself. We begin every wedding consultation by listening — really listening — to understand your aesthetic, your story, and the emotional tone you want to set. From there, we develop a comprehensive floral proposal that covers every element of the day: bridal party flowers, ceremony installation, cocktail hour accents, reception centerpieces, and final florals to send you off in style.
We have experience working with venues of every size and style, from intimate barn settings and elegant manor houses to the grand, storied interiors of Carroll՚s most beloved historical spaces. Our design team is skilled at adapting to each venue՚s unique architecture and light conditions to ensure that your flowers look absolutely breathtaking in person and in every photograph.
Corporate & Special Events
Our event floristry extends well beyond weddings. We regularly partner with local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and community institutions to design and deliver floral installations for galas, fundraising dinners, corporate retreats, product launches, and cultural celebrations. We offer flexible packages for recurring event clients and are experienced in high-volume production for large guest counts without sacrificing an ounce of quality.
We are proud to be the preferred floral vendor for the German Hausbarn and Trinity Church in Carroll — two of the region՚s most iconic event spaces — and we welcome inquiries from planners, venue coordinators, and individual clients throughout western Iowa. Let us help you make your next event one that people will talk about for years.
