Terra Bella Flowers & Mercantile

I have been a customer of Melissa’s for years! Arrangements have always been beautiful, creative, fresh and long lasting!

Erica made a beautiful bouquet and boutonnière for me for my courthouse wedding on short notice. The flowers were gorgeous, and the price was very reasonable. I called on the day to see if I could pick up a bit early (my schedule got wonky, and it was worth a shot!) — I was told that she was not happy with the way the bouquet was turning out, so she went to the flower market to buy more blooms to include. I was so touched that she put so much care into making sure it was just right. The flowers were ready as promised, and I was so pleased. Easy communication, and the order process was a snap.
Adorable shop on Greenwood Ave in Phinney Ridge. The flower storage is in the front of the shop — it felt good just to be in there around so many beautiful petals! :)

This is the ONLY place I order flowers from in the Seattle area. Their arrangements are so whimsical and breath taking.

My favorite for all floral needs. Always responsive to my needs and the most professional and yet personal service around. A wonderful establishment run with care.

I was really excited to try a local florist for some flower deliveries that I needed for a few friends. Sadly, I don’t think I will use Terra Bella again because when I called and placed an order using the arrangements on their site, what was delivered was nothing comparable. It was only about half the size and kind of looked like something I could have bought at the store. I understand that different flowers are in season than what was pictured, but in no way did this even resemble the same idea or form of the sample on the site, yet it was the same price. Pretty disappointed and will in the future either go to the Seattle Growers Market myself or a local farmers market.

Terra Bella put together amazing flowers for our wedding. We ordered a bridal bouquet, two bridesmaids bouquets, two wrist corsages, and five boutonnieres as well as some loose peonies and curly willow branches for decorating our venue. We had a brief meeting with Melissa, who asked us questions about colors of my dress and my husband’s suit as well as other colors and themes for the wedding. I really didn’t have a clear picture of what the flowers would look like when we picked them up, but trusted Melissa and her team to put together something great. We were blown away with how beautiful and perfect everything was. I absolutely loved my bridal bouquet and it really was everything we could have ever wanted for our wedding. Thank you!

I cannot say enough good things about Terra Bella! Their product and style is impeccable, they go above and beyond for even their first time customers and on top of everything else their customer service is absolutely wonderful! My mother, who is probably the greatest human being on the planet, lives in Seattle and I love sending her flowers and gifts and Terra Bella is my new go to!

Never Made Mothers Day Delivery!
I ordered a really nice arrangement for my Mother on Mothers Day, placing the order and receiving written confirmation two full weeks in advance since I was due to be out of the country. I contacted my mother and the day after she confirmed that no flowers ever arrived! Having spent almost $ 120 for this, I immediately contacted Terra Bella Flowers. After a while they confirmed that no delivery had been made, and that it was their fault. Their remedy was to offer to make another delivery (it was now two days after Mothers Day) for a 30 percent discount off of their retail prices! Frankly, I was outraged. First, they freely admitted it was entirely their fault. If I had not brought it to their attention, I NEVER would have heard from them. I suggested that they call my mother (since I was traveling in the Middle East) and apologize, something that had apparently never occurred to them, I am not sure why. My mother actually called them before they called her and because she had gotten flowers from others that day said she did not need more. She was actually just trying to save me money though because she felt bad that I had spent so much money on flowers that never arrived.
I understand that mistakes happen. But when you make one like this, you make good on it, you do NOT offer to make the delivery two days later for a measly 30% discount. You drive up there and make the delivery you should have made in the first place for free, or at least do something nice to reflect the fact that you totally screwed up. Obviously these folks think they are better than everyone else and that customer service is not important. They should be ashamed.
Go someplace that actually cares about your business and does the right thing when a mistake does occur.

I am so impressed with the bouquet that was sent to me! They did an amazing job with color and originality. Extremely artistic. I highly recommend this florist!

I’ve learned my lesson — always go with a small local florist. They make the best bouquets and always deliver the freshest. Just ordered a bouquet from these guys t deliver to my mom who was ill. I’m in California but it was near my mom’s house. She said it was the most beautiful bouquet she’d ever received… yay!

Ordered my wife’s Valentine’s Day arrangement from Terra Bella this year and it far exceeded my expectations. This will definitely be my new go-​to local florist!

I rushed in here about a week before my wedding needing a new headpiece, the one I had ordered online was tacky and gaudy.
All I said was I was inspired by greenery, moss, and white, but was worried it would look too flower child and wouldn’t show up in my hair.
She was so kind and helpful and offered me a piece and a price I loved.
I wore the crown for FOUR days after my wedding. It was so beautiful, I would have worn it until it rotted off.
It was everything I dreamed it would be. Thank you so much!
It truly was the finishing piece that made me feel a bride.

Sara Jane was our main contact for our wedding flowers. She was really responsive and worked with our budget. We gave her our two main colors, a bunch of old bottles to use, and a few photos on Pinterest and let her do her thing. She knocked it out of the park! Our flowers were beyond my expectations for the ceremony and reception. Our guests and even the staff at Canlis commented on how beautiful the flowers were. I honestly can’t find enough words to express how grateful we were for the beautiful work that she did. I would not hesitate to use them again for a wedding or for anything else that requires flowers!

I was impressed with the beautiful bouquet that was sent to my client. She was so thrilled and they were very artfully arranged. I was unhappy, however, that I was told a certain price quote on the phone then charged a different amount on my credit card without being sent a receipt or told a total. Great artist service, not great communication. :(

Love this cute little shop and the women that work there. I’ve gotten a few arrangements from Terra Bella, and my love has adored them all. They make beautiful arrangements at a reasonable price. Highly recommended. Thank you ladies for what you do for us men while trying to make our women feel loved and special.

I’m so happy that we had Terra Bella as part of our wedding. Melissa’s creative and beautiful flower arrangements made our special day extra magical. I cannot imagine my wedding without her contributions. The bouquet, boutineer, table arrangements and custom headpiece for my wife were absolutely breathtaking. She was able to meet our needs in terms colors, flowers and budget. She listened to our ideas and took them to the next level.
When I look back at pictures of my wedding and think of that beautiful perfect summer day, I can still smell the flowers. Thank you so much!

I worked with both Erica and Melissa to create flowers for my wedding. They were so creative and unique in their ideas — given that our venue was the Georgetown Ballroom, we didn’t want (or need) too many flowers taking over the space. They designed simple, beautiful, and delicate arrangements to go with our centerpieces. And — my bouquet! I had my heart set on dark red dahlias — but this was risky at the end of the season — just to be sure, we came up with some additional ideas which were equally awesome. Low and behold, my bouquet (and brides maids) showed up with the most exquisite dahlias. Thank you SO much Erica and Melissa for everything.

Melissa, the owner of Terra Bella runs a lovely shop in Greenwood, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work on a styled wedding shoot with her this summer that featured her work. Melissa is a floral artist who has a background in plant sciences. She really understands plants and flowers and she is an expert about which types of flowers and decorative plants are grown locally and sustainably. If you are wanting to incorporate locally grown or sustainably grown flowers into your next wedding or special occasion — Mellissa is the woman to talk to.
In addition to being really knowledgeable about flowers, Melissa is also a meticulously detailed designer. She creates floral sculptures that are breathtaking. Each arrangement she creates is a study in the perfect combination of texture, color, and fragrance. Her style varies from the sophisticated to the whimsical depending on the taste of the client. Melissa is great at listening to the vision of a client and transforming that vision into a personalized work of art using mostly locally sourced materials.
One thing that blew me away about Melissa is her attention to detail. I had the vision for a colorful, Art Nouveau, garden inspired wedding headpiece. Basically, thats all the information I gave Melissa, and she created the most magical floral crown I have ever seen. That floral crown became the centerpiece of our photo shoot and everyone who has seen it has been amazed by its beauty.
Whether your project is big or small, if you are looking for flowers that are unique, gorgeous, locally sourced, and arranged with care — call Melissa or her equally wonderful assistant Sara Jane at Terra Bella Flowers. You won’t be disappointed.

Melissa sat down with me back in January to talk about doing flowers for my wedding just a few days ago. I wasn’t really sure whether my intended budget was reasonable, and I didn’t know really what I wanted.
Melissa took the time to sit down and work out what I wanted and what I needed. I only needed bouquets, corsages and boutineers. She did a great job sticking as close to my budget as possible while still creating fantastic results, especially because some of the flowers we used weren’t in season.
Not only did she make the flowers beautifully, but she delivered them on the day of the wedding and made sure everyone had their corsage or boutineer on properly. As soon as I get my of my wedding photos I will add them on here.
I look forward to using Terra Bella in the future for other things!

I was trying to get flowers for my wedding. These guys received groovy Unilocal reviews and 2 recommendations from my friends, so I decided to give ‘em a shot.
1^st try: I emailed them through their website in the morning. No response.
2^nd try, same day: I called them during business hours (noon-​ish). Voice mail. I left a message with my phone number. No response.
3^rd try, same day: I headed over after work. The gal behind the counter acted as though I was interrupting something. Then she made it abundantly clear that she was uninterested in helping me when she said, «Do you want to make an appointment to speak with someone? I mean, I’m perfectly capable of helping you, but probably someone else would be… better.» It was at this point that I looked down at the counter to see a copy of Twilight sitting there. I should have turned around and left right then and there, but instead I mentioned that I had made two previous attempts to contact someone that same day, but if an appointment was necessary I would go ahead and make one.
Theeeen she told me that she was «gonna go ahead and blame» the person who had worked before her for not returning my call. Whatever. Dubious, I made an appointment for Saturday and left.
I received a call the next day from someone at the shop who informed me that the employee I’d spoken with had «neglected to inform you that we are actually closed on Saturday for the holiday (July 4^th… which was on a Sunday) weekend: and they would need to reschedule my appointment.
3 strikes and you’re out! I gave my money and my love to Willow & Bloom in Fremont instead.
