Kate was the absolute perfect fit for our April 2023 wedding. I had reached out to Kate for her beautiful work on my MOH's September 2018 wedding - that's what kind of impression she made on me! Our first call, Kate really got a feel for what I was looking for and I would periodically send her inspiration that she welcomed! We had another call closer to the wedding, and although I had a rough idea, I gave Kate free reign as all her work is stunning (she also trekked all the way down the venue for a meeting!). IT SURPASSED ALL MY EXPECTATIONS. Kate is a true artist in this industry, not to mention she is the kindest person I have ever met. My Mom and grandmother could not stop raving about not only the florals and detail, but Kate herself. Kate went above and beyond, and I wouldn't change a single thing! Thank you, Kate & team!!!

Kate and her team did an absolutely fantastic job bringing our wedding design board to life! We are so glad our wedding planner directed us to Forte Florals!

Kate is based in Lancaster, but has a fairly wide area that she'll cover --- we never would have thought to consider a Lancaster-based vendor for our Delaware wedding, but she was happy to oblige and seemed to be a much better value than florists in/around Philadelphia and the Main Line. She was also willing to work with our budget despite it being a little below her usual minimum, and she was respectful of this limit throughout the process.

We had an initial call with Kate and our wedding planner to review our design boards, and we'd opted to give Kate a fair amount of flexibility to use whatever florals she felt were appropriate for our vibe and color scheme. This allowed her to choose the most beautiful blooms available that weekend; I'm convinced some of the blooms in my bridal bouquet were literally the most perfect flowers I've ever seen, put together so gorgeously with the perfect amount of whimsy. Kate truly took our Powerpoint design board and brought it to life in a way that was even more beautiful than we could have imagined.

Kate and her team made my entire wedding weekend look and feel magical! From the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony to the reception - everything Forte created for us was absolutely beautiful. Not only is Kate the most personable, sweetest individual, her creative vision is unmatched! I am still receiving compliments on how amazing my florals looked! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding/events florist!

Kate is the absolute sweetest! When having the initial consultation call, I knew I had to move forward in booking Forte Florals. She was so interested in making sure my vision came to life and really helped me determine what that vision really was. She is so talented with all things florals and design. She absolutely transformed my venue with the most beautiful florals and completely blew my expectations out of the water! I didn't think I was really a big floral gal but she proved me wrong! She also really respects your budget. She will do everything she can to ensure you are getting everything you want within the budget you provided. If anything pushes you outside the budget, she'll work with you to provide other alternatives/recommendations to still bring that vision to life. Let's not forget the bouquets! Needless to say, I was obsessed and so were our guests! We received so many compliments on the florals. I highly recommend working with Kate - not only for her super kind and gentle demeanor - but also because she is an incredible florist! I can't recommend her enough!

Kate was beyond AMAZING to work with!! From my first call with Kate she was so kind, professional and personable! I am not well versed in flowers but I showed her my Pinterest inspiration and wedding vision and she NAILED it! To say I was obsessed with my flowers is and understatement. They were truly breathtaking. Kate did this just by talking with me and seeing a few pictures. She is not just a florist she is a wedding floral designer and the difference is my florals were true works of art! My bridesmaids were also equally in love with their bouquets and many mentioned how they're not typically flower people but they truly loved my flowers. The flowers at the church were equally beautiful, and I couldn't help staring and looking around during our ceremony when I was supposed to be paying attention lol! The reception space with our tables and sweetheart table were exactly what I envisioned and so beautiful and romantic. Kate was also very responsive and adaptable when I realized I needed to change a few things last minute. I am so sad I only got to briefly meet her the morning of the wedding because she is such a sweetheart! She was also very reasonably priced which was amazing because we all know how expensive weddings are! Kate I can't thank you enough for bringing my wedding vision to life and creating my DREAM wedding bouquet. Your are so Incredibly talented, Ryan and I are so thankful we had the opportunity to work with you. Please future brides book Kate it will be the best decision you make for your wedding!

Kate is a DREAM to work with. From our in-person check-ins to the many emails in between. She and her team made our floral vision a reality. I found Kate through our wedding venue’s Instagram (Wyndridge Farms) and knowing Kate has transformed this spot many times was so comforting. Though every time she transforms it, it’s something different and she made this backdrop ours. We talked through all the things - especially how to reuse our arrangements for different moments. Kate was there for every step of the way and worked with our other vendors like the dream team they were.

Beautiful and amazing work by Katie. She took my vision and hope for the wedding and made it a reality! From the beginning of the process, Katie knew all the questions to ask me regarding the details that made me more confident that I was not going to overlook an important part. Each part of her design was simple, clean, and stayed fresh throughout the warm summer day. I only wish I had more time during the day to walk around and look at her beautiful artwork. On the day-of, Katie was precise with timing and getting all the finishing touches ready to go. I would definitely recommend her services to all those around me!

Katie was very professional and had great communication throughout our whole wedding planning process! She was able to take my thoughts and words and channel them into beautiful floral design! If you're looking for someone that is easy to work with and does amazing design, Katie's your girl!

Kate was just the absolute best and it was such a joy working with her. She turned my stark, white, modern venue into an overflowing garden. I found it really helpful to meet in person to discuss my vision and after meeting, she was always very responsive to any changes I made or questions I had.

Kate is amazing. For one, she is such a kind person and she really cares about making the flowers perfect for your day. I was not sure of exactly what I wanted, but she was patient with me and helped me realize my vision. I really enjoyed working with her and I am honestly sad it's over! The flowers were absolutely stunning to say the least. I even accidently forgot to order a boutineer and Kate whipped one up in no time! I cannot recommend her enough.
