katie arani - 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!
Read the Dallas Voyage interview with Katie here! At billie ball & co., we love celebrating flowers and their form. Our inspiration comes from many different sources, and we are always looking for new and exciting opportunities. If you can dream it, we want to create it for you!

what people are saying
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.

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!

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!

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!!

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!

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.

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.
