FOUNDER + LEAD DESIGNER
A lifelong illustrator, designer and lover of nature, I always knew I loved working with my hands. Working with flowers and designing an atmosphere for an event is something I still get excited about. I'm obsessed with details and exploring new trends, methods and combinations. I love exceeding expectations and surprising couples with just how fun floral design can be!

HOW DOES IT ALL WORK?

Every event we design begins with a blank slate. No event is replicated or done the same way twice.
It is so important to me that I get to know my clients' style, preferences and wish list before we start the quoting process. There are so many factors that affect pricing: size of arrangements, scale of installations, and seasonal stems vs. premium imported stems, etc.
I  listen to your vision, your ideas, and your inspiration, and from there, I draft a customized proposal for your review. I'm an in-person person, so setting up a consultation at our Deep Ellum studio is the best way to meet face-to-face, see some of our awesome inventory and really ignite the creative spark! Of course I get it... you're busy (we're all busy) and we can connect over the phone or email as well.
Email Katie directly at info@billieballco.com or just fill out our contact form and we'll be in touch post haste!


DO YOU HAVE A MINIMUM?

We request a minimum order amount of $5,000 before sales tax and fees for full-event floral design for Saturday events.
We request a minimum order amount of $3,500 before sales tax and fees for full-event floral design for Friday and Sunday events.
If you have a smaller event, or just have a really cool idea, we would still love to hear from you. We will accommodate if we can!


WHAT DO YOU OFFER?

We offer complete turn-key wedding services.
What that means: we put it all up faster than you can say "i do" and we take it all down when your last guest leaves.
We have an extensive rental inventory of pedestals, terrariums, lanterns, candles and custom calligraphy signage.


ARE YOU INSURED?

Yes, we carry a $1,000,000 general liability policy that is available for review on request.
We can adjust our coverage based on the venue or vendor request, as well as provide you as a cosigner on the policy.
We are very familiar with working alongside priceless abstracts and dinosaur fossils.


HOW DO I BOOK?

We require a signed contract and 50% of the total proposal amount to be paid to book the date.
The remaining balance is due two weeks before the event. Contract can be viewed on request.


HOW DO I PAY?

We accept cash, check and credit cards. We use Square for all credit card purchases.


WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

Our home studio called GYPSUM studio is located close to Love Field Airport in Dallas, Texas.
We are open for consultations by appointment only.
2431 Shorecrest Drive  - Suite D5  - Dallas, Texas 75235

love notes

My husband and I had the best experience with billie ball & co. and highly recommend to anyone looking for a florist! Katie was an absolute joy to work with from the very beginning. She's prompt in her communications, so incredibly sweet and patient (which every bride needs in a vendor), and willing to work with whatever budget you have in mind! She saw our vision and honestly way exceeded my expectations! Everything she created was beautiful and breathtaking!! I cannot begin to explain how obsessed I was with my bridal bouquet! It was beyond what I had even imagined!

Katie and her team were a DREAM to work with! She is a very prompt communicator and the passion for her work and couples shines in all that she does. She truly made our vision come to life and was always open to changes throughout the process. She has impeccable taste and style and she is unbelievably creative! She has an amazing inventory of decorative items to choose from which is a huge plus as well. I would HIGHLY recommend using Katie for any event or venue but especially if you are planning to have your wedding at Hickory Street Annex. Her knowledge of the venue and what works well in the space is so valuable. She was the key piece to making our day perfect!
KATIE S.    /    11/16/2018


Katie and her team are AMAZING. Billie Ball and Co. is the most understanding, flexible, helpful, creative, genuinely kind and fun florist. She had great ideas and helped guide us along the way with beautiful ideas. When I arrived to Hickory Street Annex and saw the flower arch she was creating I was overcome with happy tears, truly a masterpiece! I would recommend her to anyone, anywhere at anytime!!! Thank you Billie Ball & Co.!!!!!
SAMANTHA S.    /    06/29/2018


Katie was SO AMAZING! She went above and beyond and made our vision come to life. We wanted a creative and "Hygge" vibe wedding that fit our style and she understood right away. I cannot recommend her enough!! She helped me feel completely comfortable putting most of the styling in her hands! You will not find anyone as creative and amazing in Dallas! Do yourself a favor and hire her!!
KAROLINE A.    /    11/09/2018


Where do I begin.... 10 stars hands down. Katie is amazing! Not only is her work BEAUTIFUL and shines through, but so is she! She is so nice and sweet and will take the time to listen to your vision and listen to your crazy stories! Katie was always ready to answer every question, make any change and remake that change or turn it back. I’m sure we were driving her crazy but she never showed any stress or was rude. She is truly a pleasure to work with and so easy to talk to to ensure you, she gets your vision. It’s really hard to imagine what your final picture is going to look like, but I loved that she was always willing to draw a picture or send me sample pictures. Not only did she do an amazing job on our florals, but she did our signage for assigned seating, bar menu, welcome sign, etc. She does it all. The day of our wedding at Hickory Street Annex you could truly see all the love and hard work she put into every single detail. One particular piece of our reception was our head table. We opted to share a long table with our entire wedding party. There was a cloud of floral and greenery suspended above us with Edison light bulbs. Absolutely breathtaking! It all came together so nicely - from the head table, to the table arrangements, floral on the cake, to the bridal bouquets. We even got to meet her mom, whom works with her, she’s so nice as well! Our wedding guests could not stop talking about all the details of our wedding including the ceremony floral arrangements, especially the head table floral. It was worth every single penny we spend on it! Katie will turn into someone you’ll want to keep in your life. If we had to do this again, we would pick her no doubt. We already talked about what occasions in the future we can use her!

Katie at Billie Ball was a dream come true when it came to our floral wishes! She took our vision and made it come to life in a more magical way then I ever imagined. Katie truly cares about every detail and she and her team go above and beyond in every way! They had some extra greenery and went out of their way to decorate the staircase and behind our sweetheart table at our wedding. I loved working with Billie Ball & Co. because it was such a personal experience, I cannot recommend Billie Ball & Co. enough!
ERIN S.    /    11/02/2018

Billie Ball & Co was one of our favorite wedding vendors and that’s a result of Katie’s amazing talent! Not only was she able to take our ideas and turn them into our dream floral design, she was so patient and kind throughout the entire process. Katie went above and beyond just floral and ultimately became our designer. She did everything from our signs, desert table decor, etc... She has amazing style and was able to perfectly capture what we had asked for. Throughout the planning process, she was open to all of our ideas and helped us navigate the many choices. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Katie and would recommend her 100% of the time!
LINDSAY P.    /    09/15/2018

Katie is absolutely amazing! She is so kind, understanding and patient. We were planning our wedding for a while, and due to unseen circumstances the wedding got delayed almost a year. Instead of being upset, or unkind like so many others in the wedding industry she was so unbelievably understanding. She was heartfelt and kind. When my day finally came, she squeezed us in when she definitely did not have to. The flowers were STUNNING. I told her we wanted dark and moody, and she made all my fairytale floral dreams come true. She's quick to respond, very professional, and by far one of the nicest people i have ever dealt with. I will forever recommended Billie Ball & Co. to anyone who needs a floral designer. Billie Ball & Co. was the best vendor I dealt with through the whole process of planning my wedding.
JESSICA S.    /    11/10/2018

I just don't feel like words or pictures could possibly do Katie justice. We came to her with an idea, theme, and mood and she created a legitimate work of art that heightened the magic of our wedding to the point of fairy tale. Katie was so professional and creative. She has a gift of reproducing your vision with her eclectic sense of wit and curiosity. Her extensive knowledge of her craft and floral availability resulted in a authentically one of a kind product. We ended up with deep, seductive saturations of color that I didn't even realize were possible. To speak to professionalism, one of the most beautiful parts of the day was also the least stressful. Katie was highly communicative and available for consultation through out the process. The day of the wedding, arrived early, worked quickly and efficiently, and blew us away with her attention to detail. I would and will recommend Billie Ball & Co to anyone wanting to cultivate a deeply personal floral design, whether you're wanting to reflect esoterics or romance or anything in between. This designer is a FIND. Do not pass her up.
LINDSEY H.    /    10/13/2017

We highly recommend Billie Ball; simply the best wedding florist you could hope for. Katie was a joy to work with, and guided us through the process of selecting flowers for our wedding that fit within our budget. We sought price quotes from several different florists in DFW, and her pricing was highly competitive without requiring us to fully abandon what we wanted. The end result was stunning, and Katie did an incredible job bringing our ideas to life in beautiful arrangements. She's a true professional, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone seeking a florist!
JOANNA P.    /    09/23/2017

This was the absolute best experience I could’ve asked for. Katie was a joy to work with! After our initial consultation she held a “preview” where she showed us the vision she had for our wedding and she hit the nail right on the head. She knew exactly what we wanted and executed it perfectly. Working with her was so easy and probably the least stressful part of the entire wedding. I definitely recommend her services to anybody looking for a florist!
AUDRIE A.    /    11/04/2017

I wish I could give Katie, the owner of Billie Ball, 10 stars! My husband and I are still in awe of our wedding florals and just Katie in general. Katie was the first and only florist I met with when I began picking my vendors for my February 2018 wedding. From the first moment I sat down with her, I just KNEW we had to use her for our florals. Throughout the entire process, Katie was so responsive and truly exceeded what Jeff and I envisioned for our big day. After realizing my dream would be a little out of our price range, Katie worked with us to still be able to have the look we wanted to fit our budget. She did it because she truly cares for her clients and making their day the most beautiful, and man did she!! I can’t say enough about her, but she’s the real deal! Down to earth, SO knowledgeable, so flexible and most importantly, just a genuine person! We adore her and will be using her for all future big events!!!! If you go with anyone else, you’re crazy!!
ANNIE D.    /    02/24/2018

Katie. Was. Amazing! She knew exactly how to turn our ideas into a dream. Her knowledge, personality, and advice was such a pleasure while planning for our wedding day! I couldn’t imagine anyone else bringing our vision to life like Katie did. Even our other vendors were asking about her! She’s just that great. Thank you so much, Katie!
ASHLEY Z.    /    03/10/2018

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times... Billie Ball & Co. is everyone's dream wedding florist. Katie makes you feel like you've known each other for years when you talk to her. They are professional and attentive, going over every detail more than once with you to make sure you don't forget anything (which I did... thanks again for catching that). I could not have chosen a better company for our special day.
DANIELLE P.    /    04/07/2018

Billie Ball & Co. made all my floral dreams come true! Katie took my vision and made it a reality! She created floral arrangements that were far beyond what I could have imagined. Everything was stunning! Katie made sure every detail was perfect. From the bouquets to the flowers on the cake! I loved working with Katie! She is truly the best!
TORY L.    /    03/24/2018

Wow - What can I say! Katie is a flower goddess! She was amazing - her ideas, putting them into place, and her whole staff. Everything was BEAUTIFUL and flawless! She was one of my favorite vendors to work with and understood everything I described to her for my dream wedding. I was never planning on having much of a flower budget until talking to Katie and it was SO worth it!
KELLY H.    /    05/27/2018

LOVE! They are the best and they made my dreams come true. I loved working with Kate! There are honestly no words to describe how talented she is. I found her through a search here on TheKnot. She immediately responded to schedule an appointment. She has the cutest office space which gives you an idea of her style. Right away, I felt comfortable with her and could see that she was very knowledgable in her field. She is very detailed in getting to know what you are looking for and your style. She also followed my Pinterest to get a better idea of what I wanted. In the months leading up to the wedding, she would reach out to me with questions which made me feel as though I was important. I appreciated that she was putting so much effort into making everything perfect. I will say that I was surprised on my wedding day when the flowers arrived. Not because I didn't think she would do a great job but because every single arrangement was more than I could have ever imagined. She did an amazing job!!! I absolutely loved my flowers and they were perfect. My bouquet was my favorite and I honestly wish I could have her remake it for my anniversary. You will love working with Kate. I have recommended her to all of my friends. She really is the best florist in Dallas and there is no reason to look elsewhere. She will do the best job and you will not regret choosing billie ball & co.
