I would highly recommend Amy and her design team. They made my daughter's wedding so beautiful. Amy stepped in when our original florist ghosted us. She said no problem, we can handle. And handle they did, they made my daughters vision of her wedding flowers come true. The flowers were elegant, timeless and the star of the show. If you are looking for a florist to handle any of your personal / business events, please consider Amy and her team. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely stunning!
Amy was amazing to work with! When I saw previews of her work through reviews/online research I knew I had to have her for my wedding! I provided a vision board and Amy 100% delivered exactly what I wanted. She even worked with me to get the linens, table and tent decor, and specialty seating chart that I wanted despite not working with an event coordinator. She went above and beyond providing beautiful flowers for my day, she brought the experience I envisioned to life! Her floral work is stunning and speaks for itself, but the extra mile she went to make the day everything I could dream up is why you shouldn’t think twice about hiring her!

Took Our Breath Away!
Took our breath away! Way beyond our expectation! Magical!
It is impossible to put into words the feeling My daughter, Kathleen, and I had when we first walked into her wedding venue and saw how Amy Kate and her team brought Kathleen's vision alive and more! Every bride should have that experience! We both were overcome with emotion and began to cry. (And then worried about our make-up : )
Amy Kate is an artist. She listened, asked questions, took notes, shared ideas, made sketches until she really understood Kathleen and what look and feel she wanted for her wedding day and then created it!! We were blown away! The flowers Amy Kate used to create Kathleen's vision were grown in her own fields, so the arrangements and bougets were fresh and unique, she has a good selection of vases, urns and votives and Amy Kate was good about itemizing our costs.
Amy Kate is not only an amazing florist, but she is also an interesting person who is kind, caring and lots of fun!
We will always be grateful to her for the time, hard work and love she gave to make sure Kathleen's wedding was her dream come true!

Our wedding floral experience
From our first phone call to our wedding day, Amy just got us. She spends time getting to know your tastes and preferences. She guides you towards what will ultimately give you the look you are going for. She is a true professional and a kind person. She was extremely patient through our many meetings when we had changed our minds about certain elements and adapted quickly. She provided helpful feedback and gave us the most unique and beautiful wedding florals I have ever seen. We truly believe in letting professionals do their work and gave her some guidance but ultimately let her choose what was best. The day of the wedding everything was breathtaking and better that we imagined. We've done the research for you, we've experienced the product. It's exceptional and well worth it. We are so grateful for Amy and her dedication to her craft.

incredible
It is hard to write a review when there aren’t enough words to describe how absolutely incredible Amy and her staff was. To say they were flawless in every way is an understatement. They nailed it from start to finish. After postponing my wedding in 2020, Amy continued to check in and was willing to change with me as I changed ideas and thoughts. She constantly shared my vision during that extra year of planning and continually helped me stay positive! Then, on the big day she captured it so incredibly - SO MANY people told us the night of the wedding that our flowers were the prettiest they had ever seen. And for me that speaks volumes. If one or two people say it, that’s great, but If everyone is saying it then it must be true – and it was. Amy was truly a joy to work with. She is professional and personable and a true artist. I never want to get married again, but I want to find a reason to work with Amy again, just to see what she would come up with. I strongly recommend anyone looking for a florist for any event use her & her staff. I can’t imagine anyone doing it better and they will not disappoint you.

The Best Florist in Northern MI!
Amy Kate Designs is the best florist in Northern Michigan!!! They did the flowers (very last minute) for my COVID minimony, and they were stunning! Their team is extremely punctual, flexible, and genuinely care about making your big day the best! I had no idea what I wanted my flowers to look like, and she put together the most beautiful arrangements! They are truly artists and you will not regret hiring them for a second.

Amazing florals for intimate ceremony
Due to the craziness that is 2020, we had to change our wedding plans from a 150+ guest international destination wedding to an intimate backyard wedding. I could not be happier that I connected with Amy Kate Designs.
She was patient with me while I flip flopped on a flower crown and helped guide me into a better alternative. And most importantly, she made all of my dreams come true with the most beautiful bridal bouquet I have ever seen. I was so in love with it that I brought it with us on our week-long road trip around the U.P.
As our ceremony was very small, we asked for a boutonniere for the groom, a bridal bouquet, some hair flowers, and white roses to line the aisle. Amy was amazing and helped me verbalize what I was looking for and provided everything I needed florally. She gave me the advice and guidance necessary to have the ceremony I wanted.
I can not say enough positive things about Amy! I have already been a repeat customer and purchased smaller bouquets from her roadside stand and am looking forward to staying in contact in the future. My husband has said that he plans to purchase a bouquet from her every year on our anniversary and I can't think of a better gift.

Amy Kate Designs did an amazing job with the flowers for my sister’s wedding! We gave them only a couple of thoughts, so their above-board creativity could run wild. They think outside the box, and everything they do has a wow factor, including this “simpler” wedding.

Magical Wedding
I can’t even describe how amazing of a job Amy did for our wedding. I honestly had no idea what to expect since my husband was the one working with her and sending her inspiration photos and decor ideas. But she was so nice and accommodating every time we spoke with her and had great ideas to fit our style within our budget. My husband dreams big and she was able to achieve everything we could have dreamed of with. I wish everyone could see the photos of her work at our wedding because words do not do it justice. First off our chuppa was the most perfect combination of elegant with a fall moody twist and then going into the ceremony, it was a big space for 30 people that she made soo intimate, cozy, romantic, and elegant. Hopefully we will get to work with her again one day!!!

Beyond amazing
Amy is absolutely beyond phenomenal. My wedding was a dream because of her. I could not say enough kind words about her. Not only is she so creative, professional, goes above and beyond, and her work is a DREAM, but she is also so kind, caring and warm. It’s like she took a vision in my head and made it 100x better. My jaw dropped when seeing the arch she created, and my mouth stayed wide open when looking at the tables, bouquets, and all of the details she added without even being asked. The best florist you could ever ask for!!! She is a must for your wedding!!

Amy helped to make dreams come true!
Ahhhh Amy!! Where do I begin?! I have the privilege of living in the same small town as Amy, so not only have I admired her work over the years, I've also heard wonderful things about her as a person. But I had no idea.....
When my daughter got engaged in April and set a wedding date for September, the first call I made was to see if she was available and thankfully, since the wedding was on a Sunday, she was! Her calm demeanor immediately put me at ease from the first time I sat down with her and then through all the meetings, emails, texts and panicky moments (that she assured me all mother of the brides go through).
Her knowledge of all things wedding related and her amazing creativity , helped me to relax and realize she had it under control and it was going to be beautiful.
The wedding day came and brought with it torrential rain. We had to move the ceremony from the golf course to under the reception tent. As we battled the water blowing under the tent, Amy and her team set to work transforming the place into something magical. From the tables, to the arch and the bouquets and everything in between, Amy added special details to make it the perfect day for my daughter and her new husband.
Through the months of preparation, Amy was so welcoming and patient. She made me feel like a dear old friend and I am forever grateful.

Beautiful flowers, caring and personalized service!
Amy was incredible to work with - she took great care and time to understand our vision and bring it to life. We had a limited budget, and she went above and beyond to build a flower plan that was beautiful and accommodated our budget. The flowers and boutonnieres could not have been more perfect for us, and we received so many compliments on the beautiful and fragrant greenery she provided for our tables! She's also a truly lovely person and shows that she cares for her clients. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in the Northern Michigan area!

Amy is such a visionary and professional who knows her stuff. I am not a visual person, but just by giving her the jumbled ideas and colors that were in my head she was able to nail my style vision! I loved my the arrangement - it was so unique with wild flowers and greenery and pops of color! Her work was true art and she was a gem to work with. Very responsive to email and I swear she redid our final bid with changes and add-ons 50 times without hesitation! I would recommend her to anyone!

Amy and her team were absolutely wonderful throughout the whole wedding process. From the beginning, everything was so organized and Amy was incredibly helpful and thoughtful. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure your wedding day is perfect and especially perfect for you.
My bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets were stunning. The boutonnieres, table settings, the arch, the fillers, the details was even more than I could have imagined.
Thank you so much, Amy and team!!

We felt so fortunate to have Amy and her team create the most STUNNING florals for our son and daughter-in-law's special day. She completely understood our bride's vision and was so accommodating and willing to meet with us. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and the surprise extras from her very own garden; beyond! Thank you beyond, Amy and Abbie, for your creative beauty and for taking our breath away.

Incredibly Beautiful!
I am still thinking about how beautiful the flowers were for my daughters wedding! The dining tables, the bar area, the cake table, the alter, it was all magical. We loved everything Amy showed us in the planning process but to see it all set up was amazing. My husband and I were at a wedding about a month before our daughters and in awe of the flowers there. We found out Amy did that wedding as well..... enough said!! And as a bonus, she is a lovely person to work with!

My Wife and I chose Amy after seeing her work at a relatives wedding and she did not disappoint. Everything was taken care of, so there was no stress on our big day. The flowers arrangements were amazing. Amy has true talent and would recommend to anyone throwing an event or planning a wedding. We hope another relative or friend gets married so we can see Amy's creations again!

AKD did work that was simply beautiful. If you (and your guests) want to be WOWed, then work with AKD. Amy Kate is flexible, creative and above all, kind. She understands the flow of events and can advise on all aspects of design. The result is not only beautiful, but unique and inviting.

Amy Kate is BEYOND talented and an absolute gift to work with!!
Amy Kate and her team are absolutely phenomenal- she is beyond talented and from the moment we met her, we knew we were in incredible hands! It was a wonderful experience working with Amy Kate as we prepared and planned our wedding. She was responsive, warm and professional, and it is clear that Amy Kate gets to know her clients in a personal, meaningful way. She worked with our budget, listened and helped us solidify our ideas, and TRULY created a magical space for our special day. Amy Kate's ability to make our fantastical vision a reality blew everyone away. I am forever grateful Amy Kate (for everything) - I can't recommend Amy Kate and her team strongly enough!

Amy Kate Design
Within the first five minutes of meeting Amy Kate and discussing our vision for the wedding, I was confident that Amy Kate and her staff was exactly what we were looking for as we began the task of choosing vendors. I was pretty sure we did not need to meet with other florist after our initial visit with Amy Kate but with those appointments already established, we did. That was a waste of time because the others did not rank in comparison to Amy Kate Designs. Despite the distance of 250 miles between us, Amy Kate made choosing bouquets, table decor and linens a breeze. Amy reviewed our dream reception ideas through emailed pictures, she made expert suggestions by sharing her pictures, and she offered numerous items in her inventory to be used in the decor. She also went above and beyond to make our desired look available. For instance, when we had our hearts set on specific candle pedestals for the table arrangements, Amy was able to secure exactly what we wanted. The table arrangements accented by exquisite linens were absolutely gorgeous. However, what really sold us on Amy Kate Designs was Amy Kate herself. She is an expert in her field, many years of experience, has a wonderful staff plus reliable, kind and personable. Therefore, a five star review in every category is justly deserved!

Exceptional Wedding Florist
Working with Amy Kate Designs for our wedding was amazing! The consultation process was thorough and well documented for reference as our design evolved. With her creativity and experience, Amy was able to help us determine the most impactful ways to allocate our budget and make our dream come to life. I look back at our pictures and I am still in love with the way everything came together.
Another important thing is that they were easy to communicate with and very responsive. And most importantly, the day of the wedding was executed so professionally. They exceeded our expectations and we did not have a worry in the world on our wedding day.
Amy Kate Designs came highly recommended by other vendors we were working with, and we would absolutely pass on the recommendation to other couples.

Beyond beautiful
Amy’s vision for how to transform our historic old town hall into a romantic, beautiful space was amazing. She used height and color in the arrangements to make the space warm and inviting and so gorgeous. Her attention to detail showed in every arrangement, bouquet, candle, vase, and even a lamp. Amy was a wealth of information in so many areas and suggested Merrymakers of Charlevoix who were equally involved in making the reception beautiful and a dream come true for our daughter and a wonderful experience for everyone.

Brought my wedding vision to life - EXCEEDED Expectations!!!
Amy was an absolute joy to work with! From the very beginning of my wedding planning process she was organized, kind and extremely attentive to my vision. Being an out of town bride, I worked with Amy 100% over the phone. I described my vision (and budget) with her in detail and she went above and beyond to bring it to life. Her work is amazing and she exceeded my expectations in every way!

Amy and her team were nothing short of exceptional. From the very first planning meeting to our big day, Amy made sure to integrate every personal detail into the overall design.
Amy’s title doesn’t stop at “just a florist,” she brought different ideas and suggestions to the table that we didn’t even think of. She took the stress out of the entire process. Our focus was on family, great food, a night of laughter and dancing. The entire property was transformed into “us” with traces of our relationship and family scattered throughout. It was a magical day at that.
Amy’s team went above and beyond what we had envisioned and brought the look to a whole other level.

Amy is a creative genius! Plus, she is innovative, patient, tolerant, positive, and an all-around fine lady. Her ideas and enthusiasm were high points of our daughter's wedding planning. She understood and worked with our budget, and adjusted the plans if needed. We continue to receive compliments on a daily basis from our guests about the beauty of the flowers and decor. She helped us make our home , house and barn a place of serenity and beauty on our daughter's wedding day. Three weeks later, we still cherish the flowers that remain. Working with Amy was a privilege, and a delight.

We received SO MANY COMPLIMENTS on the flowers! Not only is Amy an artist with an attention to detail, she is also a truly kind person who was an absolute pleasure to work with for our special day. Highly recommended. Amy Kate Designs is the best!

Amy did a great job on the creation of the flowers for our wedding! I provided her a picture of the bright colors I wanted early on, she took the time to sit down with me about 4 weeks before the wedding to run thru some general ideas and I was very happy with them. She was very respective of the budget. Great to brainstorm with and easy to work with. She was very responsive whenever I reached out to her. We had a small order and that did not deter her from working with us (20 growler center pieces, 2 corsages, my bouquet, 2 bouquets for my girls, and 6 small boutonnieres for the guys). She was even willing to let us pick up our own order to save money. I would definitely work with her again!

When my daughter got engaged just 7 months prior to her wedding date, the first call I made was to Amy. I had worked with her before and knew she could create exactly what my daughter wanted. On the day of the wedding, it was like finally having the illustrations for the story we had created together. I'll never tire of hearing friends tell me it was the most beautiful wedding they've been to.

I can't even imagine our wedding day without Amy. She is literally THE BEST! Not only is she incredibly talented in her field, but her personality makes her a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond her job description. After everything was said and done she was much more than just our florist, she was our wedding planner and a close friend.
I honestly can't even begin to describe how beautiful and unique her floral arrangements were. They blew everyone away and were one of the highlights of the evening. Her work is truly breathtaking and left me speechless when I first saw it. The lush table runners she created had a unique blend of fresh flowers and seasonal fruits. We had a large arbor we were married under and the sweeping flowers and foliage made it a beautiful focal piece. I am still receiving complements on the flowers 2 months later.
Amy's ability to work effortlessly with our other vendors made the entire day run smooth.
I could not have done it without Amy!
100% RECOMMEND!

Amy, you have innate talent and such a love for what you do! You took the words/ideas whimsical, Harry Potter, & enchanted, and created floral decor that the bride loved, rave compliments were received from, and complimented the photos beyond expectation. You were a charm to communicate with from the planning process through the big day. Thank you for all your patience, guidance, and expertise in design! Northern Michigan is lucky to have you!

Amy did an AMAZING job as florist for our wedding at Fountain Point Resort this summer. She went above and beyond during our planning process – and as a bride living in NYC organizing a wedding in Northern Michigan without a wedding planner, Amy stepped in to give me advice and recommended vendors along the way. She was very responsive and scheduled calls with me regularly to check in and go over our floral contract; she was so patient answering my questions and looking over Pinterest photos to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted things to look like. She was always mindful of our budget and continuously recommended ways to ensure we could achieve the look I wanted but also keep cost relatively low. On the day of the wedding, she was timely and efficient, and decorated our wedding so beautifully – from the centerpieces (greenery, candles and lanterns), to the bouquets and floral arrangements on wine barrels – we got so many compliments from guests on how amazing it looked. Amy is everything you want in a wedding florist! She is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I used Amy for my son's wedding in February of this year. He was married in Mexico. Amy came to Mexico and did the flowers and decor for the 4 day event. Needless to say she went over and above by just agreeing to take on this endeavor in another country but she made sure to make sure that every request we had was met. She found things once we arrived as well as hauling things with her. I have used Amy in the past for many different events such as birthdays, engagement parties, showers and this wedding, but I couldn't let this pass by with out writing this to let everyone know how great she is! I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is creative, courteous, attentive to detail and certainly does things out of the box.

Amy is absolutely amazing and went above and beyond anything I could have ever envisioned for my destination wedding in Mexico! Her professionalism, creativity, attention to detail, and expertise is unmatched, and she is a true genius when it comes to what she does. The bouquets, table center pieces, and other various floral arrangements were absolutely stunning, and she was such a joy to work with. Her designs are timeless, elegant, and so beautiful, and I would recommend her a thousand times over. Thank you, thank you, thank you Amy!! You truly are the best in the business!

Where do I begin! Amy Kate is amazing personally and professionally. My husband and I decided to hire Amy Kate after reading all of her stellar reviews and looking through the pictures of her work. Throughout the process, she made numerous recommendations, she was extremely flexible if we wanted to make changes, and she stayed within our budget. And even though she had her first granddaughter while we were in the planning stages (so exciting!!), she still managed to respond to our emails in a very timely manner. Our ceremony and reception florals exceeded our expectations! They were absolutely stunning. We received many comments from our guests on how beautiful everything was. Over the past year or so, I got the opportunity to meet with Amy Kate a few times in person, and I feel like we became fast friends. I would hire Amy Kate 100 times over. Thank you, Amy Kate!!

I loved working with Amy! I did not have a vision for what I wanted my wedding flowers to look like but told Amy about flowers and colors I loved. She was so supportive and from our first conversation I just knew I could trust her and that she would create something perfect! I never worried about how the wedding flowers would turn out and I'm glad I didn't because they were spectacular and we got countless compliments. Amy was so easy to work with. She was kind, thoughtful, fun and professional all at the same time. I would highly recommend Amy Kate Designs!

Inspired by reading the slew of five star reviews, I reached out to Amy-Kate Designs to discuss flowers for our fall wedding celebration in northern Michigan. From the first conversation with Amy, I knew she understood our vision and we could truly get out of the way and let the magic begin. Amy collaborated with our wedding coordinator, cake designer and others to unify the romantic and organic décor we envisioned. Her warmth and endless artistry was truly remarkable. We give Amy-Kate Designs 10 stars on a 5 star scale.

Amy was wonderful to work with! Not only is does she produce a beautiful end product, but she was extremely organized, helpful and kind. I relied on her to help me with more than just my flowers, she was able to provide recommendations and suggestions for other vendors. She communicated directly with other vendors to make sure everything was handled the day of and allowed us to be worry free :) She worked with us throughout the planning process and had great lines of communication. I would recommend Amy and her team to anyone.

I highly recommend Amy Kate Designs. Her floral designs are beautiful and elegant, and they greatly contributed to making our daughter's wedding a lovely event. Amy was a pleasure to work with throughout the process; she was always accessible and responsive, in good time, to any questions or requests we had. We were very happy with each special effect which Amy suggested and created. We'd certainly not hesitate to hire Amy Kate all over again next time, knowing her creativity and style !!

Amy Kate Designs provided the floral decoration for our daughter's wedding in July of 2015. The wedding was not in our home town, so organizing all aspects was done via phone and email. Once we met with Amy to discuss our ideas about the flowers, it was obvious that she was exactly the right person to turn these ideas into reality.
Her research into exactly what our daughter wanted was very thorough, she freely offered advice and suggestions, and her manner was friendly, professional, and reassuring. She was a delight to work with!
There were no cost surprises; everything was clearly spelled out; and Amy was not adverse to our using some of our own items rather than renting everything --- a fact that helped us keep the costs within our budget.
When we arrived at the wedding venue on the day of the wedding, Amy had already been there and worked her magic! The bouquets. the centerpieces, and the aisle flowers were exactly as colorful and bright as our daughter had hoped. The blooms were of high quality, and remained fresh for days --- I couldn't bear it when they did finally wilt, far into the next week!
We planned to use an antique, shabby-chic wrought iron arch as the focal point at the ceremony, and when I saw Amy's transformation of this piece, I was awed and thrilled! An abundance of vines, studded with tiny purple flowers, embellished the top of the arch, not obscuring the view through it, but creating a lush backdrop for the outdoor ceremony. The effect was elegant and spectacular --- breathtaking!
I could not recommend Amy Kate more enthusiastically! If she contributes her considerable skill and wizardry to your event, you will be fortunate, indeed!

I had a small destination wedding at a private residence in Suttons Bay during the fall. I wanted the event to feel seasonal and elegant but still relaxed--and Amy knocked it out of the park. From my lush bouquet elegantly finished with silk dupioni ribbon, to the ceremony arrangements, numerous decorative touches throughout the house, and the stunning harvest table that formed the centerpiece of the reception—Amy combined seasonal foliage, flowers, fruits, vines, and candles in a way that was cohesive, warm, and classy. Amy went above and beyond to ensure that I had local flowers even late in the season (despite frost and hail!), and on the day-of she and her team put everything together quickly and smoothly. Even more than the flowers, however, Amy herself impressed me. From our very first encounter, she was warm and generous and a true professional. I planned the event from out of town, and the entire process was well-organized and collaborative. Amy was always open to my feedback and questions, and she offered great suggestions based on her extensive experience. She was honest and helped me understand what was possible and how to achieve the style I wanted within my budget, and her detailed spreadsheet proposal ensured that I understood exactly what I was getting. She was not only timely in all of her communications, even reaching out unprompted during her busy times to let me know that she was still working on my event, but she was also kind. I always felt that she was not merely listening to what I said, but really hearing me. Having strong and sometimes contradictory likes and dislikes, I was not the easiest bride, but Amy was patient and able to decipher what I wanted (even before I understood myself) and then translated it into something more beautiful and tasteful than I ever imagined. I can't recommend her enough!

Amy and her team went above and beyond for our small ceremony and reception. I met with her once and she knew right away what we wanted, that helped make the decision process go smoothly and faster in such a beautiful and flawless way. Her expertise in flower arrangements, placement, and color schemes just made it so easy to give her the reins and let her make all the decisions. I felt like I was in the best hands in the business and couldn't have asked for a better team to help make our Wedding so special and beautiful.

Amy went above and beyond my expectations. Her creativity, professionalism and knowledge blew me away. She was able to understand my vision between conversation, photos and Pinterest and enhance it exponentially. She is thoughtful and honest in her work and completed things in a timely manner. She has a person/company that she can refer you to for just about anything; specialty desserts, linens, favors, caterers, etc. She was so much more than a florist; she was like my wedding planner. The flowers and decor turned out beautiful and Amy made it so I was able to focus on other things the day of the wedding. I would highly recommend Amy!

Amy is an attentive, knowledgeable, professional, and creative one-stop shop for all things flowers and decor! She was fantastic to work with from start to finish. Her creativity is always flowing and her experience shows in everything that she does. She listens, offers helpful feedback, and was willing to do whatever it takes to make us happy with the results. I really appreciated the fact that she was attentive without being pushy and was respectful of our budget and needs throughout the process. She truly works for the customer and I would work with her again in a heartbeat! We did nearly all of our communicating via email and it was impressively smooth, consistent, and professional. Her services/products were worth every penny! We have already suggested her to two other brides! -Audra & Jad

Amy @ Amy Kate Designs was a delight to work with. We had 2 wedding reception sites in 2 different states so our budget for the Michigan wedding had to stay within the limit. After several long distance communications over several months, my daughter was extremely pleased with our floral displays. Amy was generous with her advice, her supplies and expertise for tasks we did ourselves, and the room was transformed! Her expertise is far beyond a florist's talent. Numerous Compliments from our guests were very positive as well.

Amy is amazing! I had a general idea of what I wanted for my wedding but was not able to articulate it well. Amy was able to send me ideas, listen to my thoughts, make adjustments, and come up with the perfect arrangements for me. She was patient and kind with my indecision and truly wanted to make me happy. It turned out beautifully. I could not be happier with the bouquets or the center pieces. I was living in Chicago and Amy was very flexible working around my schedule for phone calls and in person meetings. She was a joy to work with. I highly recommend Amy Kate Designs!

We came to Amy with some ideas and preferences for my daughter's wedding. She took those ideas and added her talent and experience to create a vision far beyond our expectations! She genuinely cares about each and every aspect of her work - the bouquets were gorgeous - the "tablescapes" were a perfect blend of colors and contrasting hardware and light! In addition, she added her touch to things we didn't even think of. Amy's a joy to work with and we could not have possibly been happier with the outcome - she's the BEST!

Sometimes planning a wedding out of state can be very challenging, Amy made it so easy for us! She was just wonderful and was happy to help in any way that she could. The morning of the wedding I was shocked at how absolutely stunning my bouquet was, then to see the beach and chairs decorated was just amazing. The centerpieces for our reception were stunning. It was everything I had ever dreamed of and more! I was so please with everything and would highly recommend Amy to anyone getting married soon! You will be so happy you make the choice to have her provide all the flowers for your special day!

I was probably not the easiest bride to work with since I had very general ideas of what I envisioned for my wedding and not a lot of time to search and plan (working mom at the time I got married). I provided some ideas with Amy's guidance and entrusted the end result to her (I had seen her work on her website and had full confidence that it would be great). When I finally saw what she created from my bouquets to the table arrangements, it brought me to tears. I was stunned by how she captured what I wanted with very little direction from me. Still tear up thinking about it! To boot, this was an out of town wedding for us, and she made all of the planning a breeze for us. I would definitely recommend Amy Kate!

We had a bit of a destination wedding in Traverse City, Mi. Although we live in the state it's about 3.5 hours away from home. I was a little nervous about planning everything via phone and emailed pictures, but I shouldn't have been while working with Amy Kate Designs. She got the exact feel of the style/look/ambiance I wanted to create and when we picked them up, everything was even better than I could have imagined. We got sooo many compliments on the flowers, corsages, and decor thanks to Amy. I would recommend her, and her gorgeous golden retrievers that greet you, ten times over!

You need not look any further! Amy was the perfect match for my daughter's barn wedding. She knew exactly the vision my daughter was picturing for her special day. Even though we live downstate, Amy was so approachable. The decor and flowers were fun and so creative! You will have a friend for life too when hiring her!

Amy was an absolute DELIGHT to work with! A month before my wedding, my florist went totally bananas. I couldn't get a straight answer on price or what flowers were available. When I spoke to him on the phone he would tell me one story, but when he emailed me a work order it would be totally different. With only weeks to go, I was a just a bit freaked by this situation....
Enter Amy - At my request, Amy contacted the florist to see if she could take over the design elements so I didn't have to deal with him any longer. After speaking with him, she found that he was planning to use totally different flowers than I had requested and that his prices were very inflated. I had no idea what to do at this point, but Amy told me not to worry - she would handle the flowers and I just needed to focus on the excitement of my wedding day.
Amy put together an AMAZINGLY gorgeous showing of flowers for the wedding - it was everything I had dreamed of and more! I went for a wildflower/garden party look and Amy absolutely nailed it. I know very little about flowers, but with just a few sample pictures - Amy "got it" completely. Additionally, the total cost was about half of what my original "wholesale" florist had quoted.
Amy is one of the most kind, hardworking, and genuine people you will ever meet. She is cool under pressure and rises to meet any challenge. She has an endlessly positive attitude, but is entirely "real" and will never be dismissive of your concerns . Amy lights up any room she walks into with her good energy and the entire wedding party now considers her a friend. Believe me when I tell you that Amy will be an absolute gift to your wedding - not just in the excellent and beautiful decor she will bring to your big day, but also through her caring, compassionate, and calming nature.
