Custom floral design is at the heart of everything Maggie and Kevin Sotomey do at Bella Flora 30A. When asked to design a one-of-a-kind floral dress, Bella Flora 30A rose to the occasion. In the course of three days, the team at Bella Flora along with the DCL team, assembled timeless wearable floral art using 800 fresh flowers and a mesh frame.

Upscale floral design

Bella Flora 30A's focus is floral classiness. Bouquets from Bella Flora 30A are large and have a wide selection of exotic flowers. 

"As an independent florist, we have full control over what we produce, allowing us to craft unique and personalized floral designs," Kevin said. "Each creation is a perfect blend of sophistication and personal touch."

Classic Trends

Quality floral fashion takes a dual talent to be both fashion forward by staying on top of the latest floral design trends, while maintaining an eye for classic design.

"We take what our clients have in mind to the next level by suggesting trends that are starting, or resurfacing trends that are coming back," Kevin said.
