Tre Bella provided the flowers for my October 2014 wedding, including bouquets, centerpieces/arrangements, and a chuppah (wedding canopy). I chose them based on the recommendation of my wedding coordinator, the lovely pictures on their blog, and the good vibes I had from our first meeting. First let me say that the ladies at Tre Bella were very sweet, kindhearted, and easy to work with. I really liked them, and I hate to leave a mixed review. Unfortunately, I have to admit I wasn't totally happy with the flowers they provided in terms of bang for buck. We had a budget of $2000 for flowers which I think was reasonable based on what I've heard from friends and the proposals I received from other florists. However, it seemed to be too low for Tre Bella to provide us with the really lovely, full arrangements I was drawn to on their blog. For example, we paid $425 for the chuppah, which did not include the canopy itself (made by my sister). The only decoration was a floral "swag" in one corner. It was pretty, but I had thought we discussed greenery wrapping the poles and at the base. I was surprised that we had paid over $400 for the one floral swag and rental of four poles. Again, it was very pretty and nice but the price seemed excessive for the amount of decoration. Similarly, our centerpieces were quite small. The original estimate had gone about $300 over budget and I asked if we could reduce the costs, so Tre Bella suggested a different style of centerpiece. I guess I should have asked for a picture, but they were quite a bit smaller and more modest than I had imagined from the descriptions in the proposal. Again, the arrangements were pretty and tasteful and all those important things, but I was quite surprised to find that we had paid $50 each to rent a mercury candleholder with three single bud vases around it. Our rehearsal dinner venue provided single bud vases with roses for free! I do want to stress that the bouquets were GORGEOUS and the boutonnieres were quite nice too--with the unfortunate exception of my groom's. His boutonniere was made of stephanotis, which turned out to be very delicate--it had started to wilt by the end of the ceremony and before the cocktail hour was over had been completely crushed by all the hugging. The groomsmen's boutonnieres with roses were much hardier and I am surprised they recommended such a delicate flower for the groom. Again, I loved the ladies at Tre Bella, I loved our bouquets, and everything was attractive and tasteful; however I am sad to say that if I could go back I would probably choose a different florist, just because I think we could have gotten more for our money. If you have a lot to spend, I think you can get really beautiful and lush and elaborate arrangements as I saw on their blog. They really seem to have great taste and provide high quality flowers. However, I would be cautious if you have a more moderate budget. read more

See all

Rachael and the Tre Bella girls produced the most amazing bouquets and centerpieces for my wedding. Flowers were something that I didn't think I'd care about as much, but ended up being my favorite part! I'm pretty indecisive and couldn't decide on very many features about my wedding flowers, except: I like ribbon. I hate tickly pointless greenery filler. I didn't want a heavy bouquet. Then I sent Rachael tons of 'inspiration' pics, from bouquets I said I liked, to what my decor was going to look like, to what I hoped would be the "feel" of my wedding, all of which probably contradicted each other in some way! They took all of that over-information and managed to create the flowers I wanted, but didn't know I wanted. I felt their prices were typical/reasonable. They were also willing to work with me when I constantly changed my mind about the kinds of flowers I wanted / quantity, etc. They were so patient! I recommend them to all my friends who are getting married and ask who my favorite vendor was. As a note, I was a destination bride and email communication was very spotty. But they were always courteous and friendly when I finally did talk to them and got the job done, so I wasn't too upset. I could see some people being more upset, though. Also, my wedding was at Duke Gardens, and they delivered and set up my flowers with no issues. Also, I do wish they did more than event flowers. I'd love to send my mom flowers from them for Mother's Day. :) read more

Rebecca at Tre Bella was a joy to work with. I met with her two times before my wedding, and after the first 5 minutes of talking to her I could tell that she simply "got it." She knew exactly what I and my mother were looking for in flowers. The centerpieces at our ceremony and reception were absolutely beautiful. The bridesmaid and bridal bouquets were also gorgeous. She was also really responsive to any emails I sent with pictures of flowers or questions I had. I really recommend Tre Bella for your wedding (or any other event!). read more

I got hitched, ya'all; so brace yourselves for a slew of matrimony-related reviews! The sisters of Tre Bella are super sweet and cute and timid and made me feel right at home in their cozy little shop on Broad. I came in with a color palette, a budget, a begrudging fiance, and a complete dearth of floral knowledge, other than the ability to identify a rose from a carnation. Rachael was awesome with suggestions that fit into my scheme and theme and I was very pleased with the results. Even more amazing, I had to pick the flowers up on Friday morning since we had our rehearsal dinner and wedding in Virginia -- but the flowers all kept beautifully through the Saturday ceremony and reception and even beyond! Pros: sugar-&-spice team of gals, expert quality; and they even threw in a few extras! Cons: they don't deliver, they only do events (so you couldn't go to them for a nice Mother's Day bouquet), and they're difficult to correspond with via email. read more

The flowers for our wedding were done by Rachael of Tre Bella. Rachael was great to work with. My bouquet, my husband's boutonniere, and the table centerpieces looked exactly like I wanted. Everything was beautiful. Rachael did a great job of scaling the bouquet to my dress (which was on the simpler side). I am so incredibly pleased with how all of our flowers turned out! read more

Tre Bella was recommended to me by a friend, and I am so happy that I selected them as my wedding florist. The bouquet that I selected, which was super colorful and fun, was used to create the whole color scheme for my wedding, which was bright, and multicolored. I met with Becky two times during the planning process, and emailed her countless times with updates and ways to cut costs. We were able to have an elegant, bright and colorful array of decorations at a reasonable cost! read more

Can't say enough good things about Rebecca and Tre Bella. I used them for my wedding in June. The flowers were stunning and exactly what I had vaguely pictured in my head but would never have been able to articulate. Rebecca got my vision immediately and was so helpful in coordinating the flowers with the rest of the look I was going for, even giving really helpful advice on linens for the venue. I was worried that such high quality service would be really expensive, but they did a really good job of working within (and even under!) my budget. read more

Tre Bella provided the most amazing arrangements for my wedding. We worked with Becky, who is so incredibly kind and creative, over the course of nearly a year to design the centerpieces and arrangements for three different events. We had a large Indian wedding, so we needed different florals for our Friday night event event, our ceremony and our reception. Tre Bella did an amazing job, and the flowers were as colorful and beautifully arranged as I could ever have imagined. read more

I used Tre Bella for my wedding a few months ago, and let me first say that Becky was a dream to work with! Always available via email, so sweet and friendly, and willing to work with me. The flowers were also very lovely and we got lots of compliments. The only issue was the flowers ended up looking nothing like what I asked for! I brought pictures in of what I wanted and everything! In addition, my cake was supposed to have flowers between the layers, and that didn't end up happening for some reason (even though I paid for it). Loved the experience of working with Tre Bella, wasn't impressed with the final outcome. read more

Becky @TreBella was our favorite wedding vendor to work with from start to finish. We were planning our wedding in Durham from long distance in Atlanta, so we first met Becky about 10 months before our wedding date, when I had no idea what I wanted as far as flowers and colors, and was feeling somewhat overwhelmed...Becky looked at the few random pictures I had saved, talked with us for a bit, and then sent us a thoroughly detailed proposal for our day with sample pictures included (and sent it the very same day after we met). She was an absolute delight and left a great impression from that very first meeting, so we ended up booking her....TreBella was also highly recommended by our reception site, which supported our decision. We communicated over email over the next few months and then saw Becky again at our Washington Duke Inn tasting about 4 months before the big day, where we had Becky bring a sample centerpiece, and for the first time in all of the wedding planning, I could actually see our wedding day come to life. We missed seeing Becky on the actual day, but could not have been more happy with how our flowers turned out in every way, from the largest centerpieces to the smallest boutonnieres. I can't wait to get our pictures back and see all of the flower details up close. I definitely needed help narrowing my wedding vision and Becky really was great at this, and I just wanted to hug her throughout the process. Everyone commented on how pretty our flowers were, and I would agree. Would highly recommend TreBella to anyone!! read more

I wasnt really impressed with the store. I went to the one on broad street and the store is TINY. I believe i spoke with Rachel and she seemed to be extremely distracted. I think she has a knowledge base about flowers. However, she could use a course or two in customer service. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Becky and Tre Bella. What a kind, wonderful woman to work with. I have lots of creative ideas in my mind, and am quite particular about flowers working as a florist myself, and Becky hit the nail on the head during every consultation and absolutely blew it out of the water on our wedding day. We could not have been happier with the quality of flowers used and the attention to detail. Great customer service, consultative skills, and so very talented. read more
