“What I regret about planning my wedding is the time it took to find a florist! I began the process wanting to use a local florist, because I heard through the grapevine that corporate florists aren’t very personable..I also heard that they don’t always use fresh flowers for the occasions…Let me tell you that all stuff is BUNK! I wasted too much time visiting with local florists, who were great, but their prices were wayyy too high, and their business was limited. As soon as I sat down with Maya from Boesen, I was immediately put at ease. Not only are Boesen’s associates personable, but they know exactly what they’re talking about! If you’re on a budget, Boesen will really come through for you. I knew what kind of flowers I wanted for my wedding, but I had no idea for the decor. Maya was full of suggestions that really catered to my vision for the perfect wedding…and she probably didn’t even know it. Many local florists will only do one wedding per weekend, so getting to them as early as possible can be a bit stressful. You don’t have to worry about that with Boesen! In April 2007, when I told Maya that my wedding was on July 7th, 2007 — I was expecting her to tell me that they were completely booked. BUT, she told me they would be able to accomodate me with no problem. They did 21 weddings that weekend! So, don’t waste your time shopping around! If you’re in the Des Moines area, just go to Boesen!” – Jennifer

“Beosen provided the beautiful flowers for my wedding march 10, 2007. I chose Pink roses with brown trim. They were so kind to make sure I had t he colors that I wanted. they had everything to me on the day ready and waiting when I got there with my bridesmaids. The were the right size and full of life. I loved my flowers.” – Nicole

I hope thus far everyone has had a wonderful holiday season. Christmas approaches and everyone is rushing for last minute gifts, decorations and food. Especially with this storm coming through the rush even seems a little more urgent.

I really wanted to first, thank you for your business this past year. Without you Boesen the Florist would not be Des Moines’ largest and preferred local florist. Second, I’d like to take a moment to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and especially a Prosperous New Year. As 2010 approaches I’d love for all of you to consider what Boesen the Florist can do for you during those special occasions that will be coming up. Whether it’s birthdays, Mother’s/Father’s Day, Valentines Day, Anniversaries or even just a special, random surprise, we’d love to be a part of your life next year as well.

If you’re in the need for any last minute floral arrangements for Christmas, we have an online coupon code, C09, for $5 off any purchase. Check us out at Boesen.com and I’m sure we can help you find what you need.

Again, I hope everyone stays safe during this Holiday weekend storm and I can’t wait to see you all next year!

Wishing You The Best,

Tom Boesen

This Holiday season we’d like to do something cool for our loyal customers in Ankeny.  During the month of December we are going to run a contest to give away $500 to a charity local to Ankeny, IA.  This is all you have to do:

During the next four weeks enter our contest.  You don’t have to purchase anything to enter, just give us your name, email address and the name of the charity you’d like to donate the $500 to in your name.  On 12/26/2009 we will have a drawing to see who’s charity won.  While those who enter don’t necessarily have to be from Ankeny, the charity must be in Ankeny.  We don’t care if it’s the fire department, a school or some place else you want – so long as it’s located in Ankeny.

We really just want to thank our loyal customers in Ankeny for their business and support.  All Charities will pend approval by Boesen the Florist – We’re keeping this legit!

We are so honored that Homemakers Furniture let us participate in their recent Grand Opening by displaying our beautiful floral designs.

One thing we love to do at Boesen is help local organization’s progress in achieving their goals.  We were glad to be able to help the Iowa SIDS Foundation in their 10th Annual Walk for the Future.  They grossed more than $10,300 from that walk and we are so happy we had the opportunity to assist.
