Beno’s Flowers and Gifts — Local services in Iowa City

I had Beno do the flowers for my wedding. Simply put, Beno is AMAZING!! He is everything you could want in a florist and more. His knowledge of flowers is impressive. Beno is incredibly gifted at the art of setting up floral displays that not only complement the event but, the people the event is for and a part of. Not only did he find amazing, high quality flowers during COVID (impossible for most places), but he also added special flowers to my father and father-in-law’s boutonnieres that only they had respectively. Beno’s corsage bracelets are incredibly well thought out. They are not some simple snap bracelets which can be hard on the wrist of those with nerve pain, skeletal muscular issues and sensitive skin. They are beautiful, light weight, jeweled wrap-on bracelets that you can even keep and wear after the wedding! His flower stands are pieces of art that make your event really pop. I had to have my tables socially distanced during my wedding reception. With Beno’s amazing floral displays and stands my wedding looked breathtaking. He not only delivered the flowers and set them up at the reception venue but at the church as well. After the wedding ceremony he even took the floral displays from the church to the reception and incorporated them into the banquet table. Beno is incredibly hard working, a talented designer that is patient, kind, and very easy to work with. He made my wedding day something to remember. I will always be...

Absolutely Stunning – A Dream Come True! We recently had Beno's Flowers and Gifts do all the florals for our wedding. Working with Beno and his team was absolutely incredible. Every single floral detail was breathtaking — from the ceremony arrangements to the bouquets and centerpieces, everything was stunning. We received so many compliments from guests, and I genuinely couldn’t stop staring at the flowers all day. They completely exceeded our expectations. Before the big day, we had the chance to meet with Beno in person and see real flowers during the planning process, which was such a fun and memorable part of the journey. He even let me take home a little bouquet that was a simpler version of my wedding bouquet — such a sweet touch. The day before the wedding, Beno sent me a video preview of my bouquet to make sure I loved it or if anything needed to be changed. That level of attention and care meant so much to me. On the wedding day, Beno and his team arrived at the venue even before we did (and he is from 1.5 hours away) and handled everything with complete professionalism and efficiency. Beno is kind, creative, and incredibly talented. I can’t recommend him and Beno's Flowers and Gifts enough. If you're looking for a florist who truly goes above and beyond, this is it....

I don't even know if I can adequately express my adoration and love for Beno's Flowers and Gifts. Benito did such a phenomenal job with my flowers for my wedding. To start, I sent him just brief info about my colors and from that he created a presentation of his ideas. And it was exactly what I was hoping for. He created the most incredible arrangements. They were stunning. He let me collaborate and wanted to make sure I was getting what I wanted. But I also just trusted him to do a beautiful job. Benito is so kind, generous, and understanding - just an absolute joy to work with. His prices are extremely reasonable. I just could not have been happier with his work. At one point in the process my husband asked if we were Benito's only wedding because he was so incredibly attentive and generous with his time. Of course, I told him no, he has several brides - he's just that good. He even delivered the wedding flowers in person. We got so many compliments and they enhanced every element of the day. I would recommend Beno's for any event. He is the best. And his shop is adorable and has lovely, unique items. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Plus his dog...
