Designs by Bernie was founded on a belief that has never wavered: that flowers, when designed with skill and intention, have the power to completely transform a space and elevate an experience. What began as a small creative practice in Carroll, Iowa, has grown into one of the region՚s most trusted names in event and wedding floristry — built on word-of-mouth recommendations, lasting client relationships, and a body of work we are genuinely proud of.
Our studio is led by Bernie, a classically trained floral designer with a deep background in large-scale event production. Over the years, the team has grown to include a group of talented designers and installation specialists who share the same commitment to craft and the same passion for creating memorable experiences. We approach every project as a true collaboration — listening carefully, advising honestly, and executing flawlessly.
We are especially honoured by the trust that Carroll՚s most respected venues have placed in us over the years. Designing florals for historic spaces like the German Hausbarn and Trinity Church requires a sensitivity to architecture, tradition, and atmosphere that not every florist possesses. We do, and we love the challenge. No matter the scale or complexity of your event, Designs by Bernie is ready to make it beautiful.
