Florists in Iowa City

“I had ordered a beautiful bouquet of flowers for my best friend's birthday. But I messed up big time - I provided the wrong address. Unfortunately, this really was my error and the person who got my flowers didn't come forward and call Beno's. It was a punch to the gut as I knew some random person had a $135 bouquet and my friend had nothing. I messaged Beno's to see if there was anything I could do as I couldn't kick the sick feeling. They offered to send a smaller bouquet and just charged me a VERY small fee. I can breathe again. It's small businesses like this that make the world a better place. I got the photo of the flowers from my best friend and they were gorgeous. Beno's, thank you, and for all reading this - you can't go wrong with the quality and service at Beno's.“

“Hyvee Grill is open, Yes Please!!! I stopped here for lunch today and had a burger, bag of popcorn, and a drink for $5.50. Can't beat that deal! So delicious.“

“My daughter and son-in-law's wedding was recently held in Iowa City, IA at the Iowa Memorial Union. All moms and stepmom were out of town, and we were the wedding planners! At the time, the wedding was about three months away. I read through all the Yelp reviews of floral designers and florists in Iowa City. The first florist I contacted notified me that they were booked that day, but recommended Flowers by Jacqueline. I called and spoke to the owner, Jackie, for quite a while. She asked me questions about my daughter's style, and preferred colors, flowers, etc. When I told her my daughter's style was more in the Bohemian vein, she laughed and said that gave her some great ideas. One of the things she first mentioned, was using thistle. My daughter loved the idea. After we gave Jackie our colors (pale pinks and blues and ivory), she felt she had enough to go on. We let her do her design work and kept her apprised, with photos, of what was being used on the tables. The week before the wedding, it was decided that an arbor would be used. Without flinching or hesitation, Jackie jumped on board and said she would take care of it with greenery and some flowers. Without anything on it, it looked like the gallows. However, after Jackie and her crew were finished, it was beautiful! it was so much prettier than any of the ones that I saw online. I was so happy and so was my daughter and my planning cohorts. Jackie was easy to work with and kept me in the loop at every turn. The bouquets, table centerpieces, guestbook/gift table arrangements were exactly what we wanted; everything was perfect! As a harried mother of the bride, I did not take any photos of the flowers, the arbor, the bouquets, boutonnières, nothing! I will post photos once I receive some from other folks. My daugher-in-law sent me the one below.“
