We worked with Cate for our September 2024 wedding after she came highly recommended to us by our wedding planner and we could not be more happy with the results! I provided very little direction in terms of what I wanted, beyond the colour scheme and the fact that I wanted daisies incorporated somehow, and Cate knocked it out of the park. I was so thrilled with how everything turned out, and she was fantastic to work with leading up to the wedding as well. She provided tips and tricks for us to keep costs down, made recommendations based on the venue, and was very responsive. Not only that but she also helped us coordinate linen rentals with another local vendor, which went way above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommend Cate for anyone looking for a talented wedding florist!

We booked Cate for our wedding florals and decor and couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the very beginning, Cate as professional and attentive to my vision, and helped bring my dream wedding to life with stunning floral arrangements and gorgeous decor.
Everything was set up beautifully and looked even better than I imagined. We received so many compliments from our guests on how gorgeous the florals and decor were. It was a relief knowing I didn't have to stress about set up and decorating on the morning of the wedding.
I would highly recommend Cate for anyone looking for a florist and decorator who can create a truly unforgettable experience. Thank you for making our wedding day so special!

Cate did such a phenomenal job on our wedding florals! She took my vision board and brought it to life so beautifully. She was a dream to work with and even set up our flowers on our arch for us, right before the ceremony! I would recommend her to anyone looking for stunning florals and stellar service!

Cate was fantastic to work with, she took our vision and made it a reality. I am in love with my flowers!!
My husband and I have quite the wedding story - our ceremony was planned to be outdoors at my husbands late Mothers house but the rain had other plans so thank goodness for our back-up location. We tried our very best to have it outside as the location was very special to us and a lot of our guests. Cate was incredibly calm, professional, and very respectful of our back n forth on the locations.
We are still getting compliments from our friends and family at how stunning the floral was! Thank you Cate, Brandon and I truly appreciate you ❤️

Cate made magic happen at our 2024 wedding. I didn't really have any idea of what I wanted for the wedding flowers, since I'm named after a particular flower, but it's a tropical flower that we very much would not be able to decorate the venue with. I wanted a cascading bouquet, but I didn't have any other ideas or requirements besides a vague (very very vague) colour scheme (that changed six or seven times in emails, because like I said, I didn't really have a concept besides, it's a wedding, I need flowers, lets go orange and uh....) and the number of things we would need. Plus, I'm Chinese, so we wanted no white flowers for a western style wedding, so...

Cate basically came enthusiastically recommended by both our venue and our planner, and we're so glad we trusted her and went with it. We basically gave her our parameters and gave her artistic license, and it turned out FABULOUS AND underbudget. I loved everything! I think the only negative review was from one of our flower girls, who we think objected to her flower crown because her mama had told her to put it on. She's three, though, so I'm told it comes with the territory.

I'm also very glad the venue kept most of the rest of the flowers and set up for mother's day brunch the next day, which was a great relief to me because I was originally planning on fake flowers so they wouldn't go to waste (I'm so glad we went with Cate instead). Thank you Cate!

Cate was absolutely amazing to work with and put together the most amazing flowers and decor for our wedding. Cate quickly saw our vision, worked with us to align our vision with our budget, and delivered the most beautiful flower arrangements that blew our expectations out of the water. From the first meeting through to wedding day set up and take down, Cate made sure the process was seamless and stress-free. Cate and her team even set up in the rain when we were determined that the rain would stop eventually and we were having an outdoor ceremony. They set up the reception space beautifully and came back the following morning to take everything down without us even knowing they were there! The bridal and bridesmaids bouquets were the most beautiful flowers I had ever seen, full of elegant flowers and bright colours that complimented the wedding perfectly. The professionalism, kindness, and outstanding quality of work and customer service we received when working with Cate was far beyond anything we ever expected. Thank you, Cate, for making our day so special - it wouldn't have been the same without you!

Cate was the florist for our wedding in October, 2022. She was so knowledgeable and creative when it came to wedding design - you can tell that she has years of experience in the industry. She perfectly understood my vision and we absolutely loved our florals! She was easy to communicate with, didn't seem bothered by my 101 questions (lol) and delivered our florals the day of. We would absolutely recommend Cate to anyone looking for a florist for their wedding.

Highly recommend - Cate is the florist for you! Cate brought our wildflower summer solstice wedding vision to life. Her design was simple yet vibrant and stunning. She worked with my vision Pinterest and got to know more about our dream over two separate calls. She was patient with changes and tweaks and made a masterpiece within our budget. Everyone remarked on her stunning floral design and table decor. I was blown away by how beautiful she made our wedding. I cannot say enough good things about Cate!!
