We are so happy to find out that Boesen the Florist has won a 2010 Best of Des Moines from the Des Moines Business Record.
It’s a very exciting honor, and every year it’s something we strive for – and we’re glad we’ve won it every year (the contest started 18 years ago in CityView)
The great thing about this honor is that it’s something we share with everyone: everyone here on our Boesen team, but also each and every one of our customers. Because the community nominate and vote each year, it’s only because of you, our fantastic and loyal customers (fans?) that we can celebrate.
Publisher Shane Goodman says that he attributes Boesen’s winning record to the fact that “Boesen’s name is synonymous with flowers in Des Moines!” So thank you to the Des Moines Business Record, and big thanks to you – our valuable customers and friends for making this possible each year.

Affordable Getaways
Destination weddings are definitely rising in status. During a slow economy brides are getting creative when planning their wedding. Among other great benefits, a destination wedding is a perfect way to get a luxury wedding on a tight budget.
While many still follow traditional settings, popularity is growing in how destination weddings are bringing new styles and traditions.
Things to Consider
- Do you want only immediate family and friends to come with you, or a bigger wedding party?
- Can all of your guests manage to pay for the traveling costs?
- Do you want to give a second reception back home for friends and family who could not travel with you?
In Iowa, there are several beautiful and unique venues for outdoor weddings or places for a unique reception while creating that “getaway” feel:
- Living History Farms
- Prarie Meadows
- Blank Park Zoo
- White Oak Vineyards
- Des Moines Botanical Center
