Beautiful flowers and amazing experience!

Katie was amazing to work with. Right from the start, she understood our vision. We had a smaller budget to work with, and she was very helpful in determining what we could include while being mindful of the budget. The flowers themselves were stunning. I got so many compliments on the bouquet. The additional ceremony decor and centerpieces were also lovely. She was professional and easy to work with. Would highly recommend!

6/23/23 Wedding at The Toolbox in Dupont Circle

Katie and her team at Elegance and Simplicity were absolutely fantastic. From the moment I zoomed with Katie about our wedding, I felt confident she would execute magically. I went into the call very unsure and indecisive, but she really helped me bring the vision together. I also appreciated how she wasn't pushy at all, but still showed me all sorts of options that would help elevate the space. Even with how busy she is, she never left me in the dark or went days without responding to my silly emails. Katie was willing to help wherever she could and did it with a smile on her face. The flowers AND décor (amazing vintage glassware and various misc items) were so pretty and I received so many compliments. I also love how you can see how much she enjoys her job and works effortlessly to make her clients happy. Katie is honest, friendly, and a breath of fresh air. I hope to have a reason to work with her and her team again! I highly recommend using her services for your next wedding or special event :)

Exceptional Wedding Florist - Elegance & Simplicity

We had the pleasure of working with Katie from Elegance & Simplicity for our wedding, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! Katie did an incredible job with our chuppah and floral design, capturing the essence of our theme while also exceeding our expectations.

Not only was Katie punctual and always quick to respond to our inquiries, but she was also extremely amenable to our changes in the floral design later in the process.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Katie and Elegance & Simplicity to our friends, family, and anyone in need of a top-notch wedding florist!
