Whimsical, elegant, romantic modern wedding flowers

I can’t say enough about Kathleen and how responsive she was to my last minute elopement ceremony. The title describes the vision that I was going for and Kathleen completely executed and delivered what I wanted. I got married over the Christmas holidays so I ran into two days of flowers needing to be refrigerated. Kathleen did such a remarkable job of choosing the right colors for my vision that I wanted, the right kind of flowers, and then designing wedding florals that were exactly what I wanted. Actually, she exceeded my expectations with her creative design. The flowers were so fresh and just perfect on the day of the wedding. She took a lot of care to make sure that I would have the best possible floral design. Not to mention she made sure that I was able to receive the flowers as she was flying out for her own family holiday. She even followed up after my wedding ceremony. I will not hesitate to use Nurture State again for any other event and I definitely recommend her as a wedding floral designer.

Utterly obsessed with the bouquet

I went online to check what people regretted or wish they changed about their wedding for tips to make sure I had everything accounted for. I wasn’t sure I really wanted or cared for a bouquet. I’m not a flower person, but everyone said to get them. I quickly went online for some inspiration and found a few designs/color schemes that I liked. I showed the pictures to Kat, and I am just awed at how absolutely gorgeous my bouquet turned out for the wedding. She went to the flower shop for the freshest and most beautiful flowers at dusk, and THEY WERE ALL SO BEAUTIFUL!
Did I need the bouquet? No, but the bouquet elevated the look I had for that day. I could not imagine my special day without them. I’m so glad and grateful for Kat’s creativity and blowing my expectations out of the water completely!
If you are looking for anything for your wedding, plants, a moss wall, a bouquet, center pieces, KAT’S GOT YOU COVERED! She will not disappoint. I promise you that.

Amazing WOC local vendor with so much creativity!

Kathleen is the BEST! As an event planner, I've hired Nurture State for multiple events to manage florals, backdrop design, and plants and every time she has gone above and beyond to create a beautiful experience for our clients. She is super responsive, one of the kindest people around, and even has come through for me in super last minute emergency situations. I trust her always with the work and am always surprised and pleased by the beautiful outcome. She truly cares about plants, and is passionate about design. I'd hire her again and again :)

Nurture State is incredibly easy to work with & has exceptional work!

Working with Nurture State was incredibly easy and seamless! I hosted an event at lululemon in Burlingame and I let Kat know what we were trying to do, what our current colors are, and in one and a half weeks, she was able to provide more than I could imagine. She was able to bring a variety of plants from small to extra large sizes to decorate our space and made them available for purchase. She brought beautiful floral arrangements that are currently in our store and really brought out the fall colors to match our current color palette. She is so self sufficient and was able to really engage with our people and community and offered help beyond what we asked for. Thank you so much for partnering with us Kat & the Nurture State team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
