    Kate & her team are the best!

    Kate was a pleasure to work with - from our initial conversation all the way to wedding day she was professional, sweet, and extremely talented. She listened to my vision and fine-tuned it using her professional judgement, which I appreciated. When I saw the reception room on wedding day I was brought to tears at how beautiful everything came together - it was one-of-a-kind and so overwhelmingly personal. I am so happy we used Katydid and would recommend her to everyone!

    A dream brought to life

    Working with Kate was so easy and she understood my vision completely. I didn’t have many inspo pics, more a description of what I wanted my wedding to feel like and Kate really brought that feeling to life. Mine and my bridal party bouquets were beautiful and when I walked into our reception room I cried at how perfect and romantic the room looked. Kate was really easy to work with and was honest about where and what should I use my budget on. My wedding day was a dream brought to life and that’s a huge part of the wonderful work Kate and her team did!

    Must Hire!

    When I got engaged, I knew I must hire Kate as my florist. Kate and her team did my sister's wedding 7 years ago and my best friend's wedding last year. She is also doing the florals and event design for my brother's wedding in October.
    Kate has an exceptional ability to pull common themes from her client's mood boards and create a one of a kind vision. I was so indecisive with what I wanted my decor vision to be. Kate was so patient and kept me calm and always gave me ideas to consider. I am so glad I trusted Kate. She is hands down the best!

    Best Wedding Planner EVER!

    Kate Duffy was our wedding planner for our daughter’s wedding on June 4, 2021. The wedding was for 200+ guests under the largest tent that Sperry makes on and adjacent to our property on the Jersey shore. There were many vendors involved unlike a wedding at a wedding venue or club where the venue provides everything but the music, the couple and the guests. Kate was excellent at organizing and managing this from start to finish. Her financial estimates matched the final cost perfectly. She had excellent relationships with many vendors giving us many options. With Kate’s help we ended up with an outstanding group of vendors which included one of the top chefs in New Jersey, a spectacular band from New York as well as lighting vendors, the tent company, the lighting and decoration vendor, the furniture and china vendor, transportation. We even had to hire a landscaper to level the property, relocate some 12 foot hedges and provide beautiful floral plantings. The flowers were provided by Kate’s floral company who are excellent in their own right.. They put together a magical wonderland inside the tents. Yes tents, we required one for the cocktail location and one for the reception with covered walkways linking them. To a sense of the scale of this, the caterer brought over 60 people from chef to waiter.What made all this particularly challenging was the fact that the Covid pandemic caused the rescheduling of the wedding three times. That required that Kate get the vendors to roll over their commitment to three different dates. This required close professional relationships and acute management skill. There were many moving parts in this whole project with multiple areas of possible debacles of which there were none. The wedding day itself went off smoothly as Kate had a professional event coordinators on site making sure things kept moving. Kate Duffy is a highly skilled professional with impeccable taste and strong relationships in the area. It was an unforgettable day thanks to Kate Duffy and her amazing assistant Leslie.

    The absolute BEST!

    There are no words to describe how happy we were to work with Kate. From the first meeting to the end product, it was perfectly seamless. Kate and her team are incredibly talented and seeing the final product on the day of our wedding took our breath away! Kate can see the vision and execute flawlessly! We couldnt have been luckier to work with her and the team and highly recommend Katydid for your upcoming wedding!!

    My favorite vendor!

    Kate was the most incredible person to work with. We unfortunately had to postpone our June 2020 wedding due to covid but still had a small ceremony on our original date, followed by a big reception in 2021. Kate did the florals for both days and we couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. She is incredibly talented, unique and creative. She truly brings your vision to life. Kate is kind, organized, professional and responsive. Do not hesitate to book her!!

    Kate and Leslie get it done!

    Working with Kate and her team on my daughter's wedding was an absolute pleasure. They are so much more than talented florists. My daughter put her vision for her wedding in front of them...and Katydid brought the magic. We couldn't be happier.

    Kate at Katydid did a fabulous job creating an elegant backdrop for my daughter's fall wedding

    Kate at Katydid was a pleasure to work with. Kate was always available to answer questions and address any concerns that we had. She got to know my daughter's personality and style and was thus able to create the perfect setting for her fall wedding.

    Pure perfection!!

    This is the note that I sent to Kate right after my daughter's wedding:
    Dear Kate and Leslie,
    How can I even begin to thank you? The wedding was beyond anything that we could ever have hoped for. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you both. It all began when everyone saw those beautiful bouquets at the church and then the guests collectively gasped when the entered the ballroom at the club! Your talent, creativity, warmth ( lots of support!) was everything to me. How lucky we were to find you! I will send pictures soon… it is a wedding we will all remember with flooded streets the days before the event, but I had a team behind me to ensure that all would be fine! The happy couple are on a flight to the Maldives for their honeymoon and when they come home, I know that they will also be reaching out to you. My daughter said yesterday “ Kate saw my vision and more, Mom. It’s so beautiful!”
    Your creativity, talent and warm personality was everything that we hoped for and I feel so lucky to have found you!

    Breathtaking beauty and exceptional service

    I originally met with Kate about 8 months ago for our fall wedding plans. During our initial meeting, Kate was beyond helpful, guiding my fiancé and I in the right direction, to achieve our vision for a fall ceremony and reception. We were thrilled with the timely delivery of her creative proposals. Due to the pandemic, we aggressively shifted our wedding plans to August, which also resulted in an aesthetic shift with the floral design, gearing towards a summer/beachy look & feel. Thankfully, Kate was available and eager to support our wedding celebrations and with a short two week timeline, the execution and final outcome was jaw dropping. We cannot thank her enough for her professionalism, floral inspirations and how everything complemented our special day. Our guests were very complimentary of the beauty she created, which left a last impression on our venue too. To her future clients, you will NOT be disappointed. Katydid is the real deal with the art of floristry!

    Katydid was a wonderful choice

    So happy we chose Katydid Florist. Our daughter's wedding at the Spring Lake Golf Club was made even more beautiful by the elegant floral arrangements at the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.

    Wonderful attention to detail!

    Kate of Katydid was amazing! She completely got my vision and made it happen so beautifully. She’s an incredibly nice woman, and cares about every last detail of your event. I received so many compliments about our flowers! We got married at the Spring Lake Bath & Tennis Club, and she knew the venue inside and out, which was a huge plus as well. She thought of things that wouldn’t have even crossed my mind. For example, she knew how many chavari chairs the venue had, and knew that with my guest count I would end up having a mix of different types of chairs unless I inquired about renting extra. I SO appreciated her attention to detail and having a cohesive look for everything! I trusted her eye so much, I even emailed her when I was trying to pick out a menu for the table!
    Beautiful work and excellent service! Would absolutely recommend!

    Absolutely Amazing

    We loved everything about working with Kate and her team. She was responsive, she walked through every aspect of the day, and she also was able to meet our price point based on our desired look and overall spend. She truly brought everything we imagined to life and I can't imagine a more perfect day!

    Creativity Beyond Compare

    Kate Duffy and her team at Katydid executed our vision beautifully and surpassed all expectation! The flowers took your breath away - romantic and magical! Kate is also excellent in helping manage a budget, with sage advice on what in the decor makes the most impact, and what can be excluded. And, lastly, Kate and her staff are an absolute delight to work with. The vendors she works with are all very professional. I recommend their design services without hesitation!! You will not be disappointed!~~~

    Kate and Leslie beyond exceeded all my dreams of what my wedding flowers and decor would look like. I was not very good with putting into words exactly what I wanted, but it was like they just knew. The transformation of my venue ballroom and chapel were absolutely incredible and I can’t thank and recommend them enough!

    Elegant Dream Wedding Executed to Perfection!

    Working with Katydid was a dream! Kate and Leslie took my daughter's vision of a fairytale wedding and executed to perfection at Park Chateau Sept 2018. They're expertise and exquisitely tasteful inspiration extended far beyond stunning florals and tablescapes. Their elegant touch influenced everything from invitations to favors and we couldn't be more grateful! They are consummate professionals and we always felt our vision coming through with sophistication and a graceful ease. Katydid gets our highest recommendation, we will never use anyone else for event planning.

She listened carefully to my vision, was patient and communicative during planning, and my vision came beautifully to life!! BOOK KATYDID FOR YOU WEDDING! She is amazing!!

    Floral design at its finest!

    I can't even begin to explain how much I loved working with Kate and her team at Katydid Floral Design. Kate completely got my vision from the minute we sat down together to discuss our wedding. Not only did Kate COMPLETELY nail my vision, she far exceeded anything I could have ever come up with in my mind. She took all my floral fantasies and made them reality. If you want your floral design at your wedding to be a showstopper, you will hire Kate. From here on out, I will never work with another florist!

    A Perfect Experience!

    Katydid flowers did a beautiful job for our wedding at Bonnet Island Estate! From the moment I met Kate she saw my vision and it was truly brought to life on my big day! From the ceremony flowers, to the ballroom, to the personal flowers, everything was exactly what I asked for. She even made a special request happen when she found my beer loving husband hops for his boutineers! I remember being so excited when we got that email! True detail! What was also awesome is that Kate knew the venue so well and was able to suggest ideas to me that otherwise I wouldn’t have thought of. Lastly, she was able to help me fit her work into my budget and made suggestions as to where I could cut back if I needed to. Katydid did a wonderful job!

    My favorite vendor!

    We used Katydid for our wedding May of 2018. I went to the initial meeting relatively unprepared without knowing types of flowers that we wanted and I didn't even have pictures or flowers/looks that I liked. Kate was so patient and by asking a few questions was able to come up with a gorgeous vision. She was able to offer suggestions well beyond just the flowers. She is kind, patient, helpful, supportive, easy to work with, and calming leading up to the wedding. All of the flowers for our wedding were simply stunning, classy, soft and elegant from the bouquets, to church decor, and table centerpieces. Katydid helped us create a beautiful wedding. My favorite vendor!

    My daughter had a vision and that is what Kate produced The bouquets were simply elegant. I loved having two different table designs so it wasn’t so cookie cutter! The gazebo flowers added so much. Kate also did flowers for her shower. I can’t say anything but good things. Thank you for making the day even more special. Joann

    Kate and her team at Katydid are simply the best! When meeting with Kate she has a gift of being able to focus on your vision. Kate brought mine to life; she paired greenery and candles with antique clocks for our NYE wedding! Katydid was able to put 7 of my Mother's brooches into my bouquet; it was simply beautiful. Her work is soft, organic and romantic.

    I was thrilled with the work Katydid did for my wedding. When I met Kate at her shop, I could see some of the other stuff she was working on and immediately felt confident in her abilities. From there, we communicated mostly through emails. She was flexible with me on price when one item turned out more than I expected and she sent me the names of all the flowers she was using in advance to make sure that I knew exactly what I was getting. I don't have much of an "eye" for this kind of thing so even though I was kept in the loop on what the arrangements would look like, I was STUNNED when they arrived. The bouquets were extremely beautiful and exactly what I had been describing to her. Kate really has a talent to take a few of my words and pictures and be able to understand my vision and make it come to life. The girls could not stop commenting on how spectacular their flowers were. It was just the perfect look... the most beautiful flowers. I have full confidence in recommending Katydid to any bride!!

    Thank you SO MUCH for everything you did for me, Bobby, and my mom for both my bridal shower and our wedding. I could never have imagined how beautiful everything was going to turn out. We were ecstatic with your work, the colors, the vibe... everything! It was difficult for me, as I do not know much about flowers or arrangements, but you totally understood my style, and the esthetic I dreamed about for my wedding day. You made the vision I didn't even know I had come to fruition. Your work is flawless, beautifully, and magically. It was such a pleasure working with the Katydid team!

    Katydid is a creative genius! What a talented, passionate, and caring woman. She met with my husband, mother, and mother-in-law several times ensuring that our vision would be met. She exceeded all expectations with a smile on her face. Her calming nature made me at ease. I had complete confidence in her and her work. Just by chance, she was the last person I saw before my first look and I will never forget the look in her eyes, she was more than a vendor, but a friend.

    Kate is simply fantastic. She did all the flowers for my daughter's wedding in early October. She is so easy to work with, very creative and listens to what your vision is and what you want to spend. Her flowers were so fresh and her arrangements/bouquets were very natural, soft and ethereal. She also has beautiful vases, candles etc that enhance the table decor. Kate also arranged for tablecloth and chair rental.

    Once I met with Kate in her charming store in Spring Lake I was sold. She was so sweet and passionate about making our day exactly how we envisioned it. I shared a few photos of flowers I had collected along the way and Kate ran with it - her excitement and creativity was palpable. It was so nice to know I was working with a true professional with impeccable taste, that truly loves what she does. I knew she would do an amazing job because she personally enjoys, and takes pride in her work. We never had to be bogged down with every detail - we just discussed broad strokes - a color palette, streaming ribbon, cascading greenery, garland, soft blushes, pops of deep burgundy - and trusted Kate with the rest. We appreciated not being bogged down by more details and having peace of mind that she would do an amazing job. While I was getting ready at the venue (Mallard Island Yacht Club) I snuck downstairs to see how the ballroom was coming along and it was simply beyond my wildest dreams. Seeing her vision brought to life so beautifully was the perfect way to start our perfect day. There weren't enough hugs or expressions of gratitude I could share to thank her and her team for making our day magical.

    Kate has a way of envisioning a unique wedding for each bride. Her proposal is like a fairytale story of the wedding day which is delivered perfectly without a hitch or hassle. Her vision is amazing and the staff professional. I have used her for other events, and will continue to recommend Katydid reguarly.

    Kate Duffy and her team at Katydid truly captured the feel and mood I wanted my wedding to be. I did have to let go and trust Kate at times but it was so well worth it because she knows what she is talking about! I am so thrilled with how my flowers turned out and I can not thank Katydid enough for!! I would highly recommend Katydid Flowers!

    Simply put, Kate and her team made my wedding vision come to life. When I first came to Kate I was not that knowledgeable of the flower-world but I did have this idea in my head of what colors and arrangements that I wanted in my head and Kate was able to produce all of that and more. Her artistic talent was evident from the beautiful altar arrangements, to the bouquets, to the table settings, down to the elegant pins she used to hold everything together. She helped make the room at Clarks Landing shine, and also made my photographer's job much easier with all of the vivid, fresh, beautiful color her flowers provided in all of our pictures. My mom, aunt and I all reached out to Kate in the year leading up to my wedding with different ideas we wanted to incorporate for my wedding day and she was gracious and accommodating to all of our requests (and there were a lot!). Kate and her team did not miss a detail and it did not go unnoticed. We had numerous compliments from our guests on the beauty the flowers provided on our special day and I can't thank them enough. I would highly recommend Katydid for your future wedding!

    I am still on cloud 9 after seeing the flowers at my wedding at Mallard Island Yacht Club - the flowers were absolutely everything I could have ever wanted and more. The peonies, tulips, babies breath, roses, cherry blossoms, and more were BEAUTIFUL. Kate is an amazing artist she understood my vision from day one. From the upside down tulips dangling in the chapel, to the multiple versions of centerpieces, Kate really captured everything I could have ever dreamed of. The planning process was so much fun, and Kate was more than willing to meet with my mom and I multiple times to go over every detail :)

    Kate exceeded my expectations for a whimsical/fairy tale wedding and if you have the opportunity to work with Kate I would highly recommend it! She is amazing.

    Kate helped me create the wedding of my dreams! It has been two months since our December 7th wedding and guests are still talking about how incredible our ballroom looked! Kate is so wonderful to work with and has a true talent in ensuring your ideas/concepts come to fruition. Her vision, taste and creations are flawless. I absolutely loved our personal flowers, church and cocktail hour arrangements, candles/lanterns decorating the staircases & tables, etc. Kate - the ballroom truly took my breath away - it was incredible! Thank you for being so easy to work with and for all of your time. I felt so special throughout the entire process. KatyDid Flowers are simply the BEST!

    Kate did a fabulous job with our wedding. The flowers, table settings, etc. were absolutely gorgeous and everyone who attended the wedding couldn't stop talking about how beautiful everything was. So much so that a picture of the room that we used for our wedding reception, was used in a brochure for the location. Could not recommend KatyDid enough for your wedding!

    It has been 12 days since the wedding and people are still talking about the spectacular designs created by Kate Duffy. Her artistry with floral design is what you might see in notable high style design magazines. (and Kate's work has been featured in major publications) There was nothing ordinary about the florals provided for the wedding party and the venue. Kate listened to what we wanted our room to 'say'. The flowers and garlands were full, lush, fresh, and abundant. They were so wonderful and a few special family members were thrilled to receive the centerpieces at the conclusion of the event. Though Kate is down to earth and easy to communicate with, her floral design rises to the highest level of expertise.

    Kate Duffy of Katydid truly helped me create the wedding of my dreams!! I met with countless florists before hiring Kate and her team, and the second I met her I knew she would be the one I wanted to work with for my wedding. Kate FAR surpassed my expectations and her vision, talent, and skill was worth every penny! When I walked into my reception room it blew me away- Kate executed everything just flawlessly. Our personal flowers were also insanely amazing- especially my bouquet which was the most amazing thing I've ever seen!! Kate spent a ton of time with me going over every detail, learning my vision, and crafting ideas that were exactly what I had in my mind and may not have been able to accurately express. As a very particular bride who was very focused on styling and floral design, Katydid was a dream come true!! I HIGHLY recommend Kate to any bride looking for a high end approach to a very personalized stylish wedding!!!

    Kate was so great to work with and has PERFECT taste. She is a real artist that goes for quality and beauty. I could not have been happier with the centerpieces and my lavish bouquet. She produced my exact vision and I was so happy with the containers, candlesticks and linens she guided me towards. No other florist I looked at came close to her!

    I loved working with Kate! I had a few ideas of what types of flowers that I liked and didn't like. She spent a few hours in the planning stage with me, just trying to get an idea of who my husband and I are as a couple, how I envisioned the wedding day, what my other design elements were, etc. so that she could use that to help inspire the florals chosen. She really took the time with us as a couple, to individualize our flowers, which I really appreciated. Even though I usually tend to be very hands on, I stepped back and let Kate do most of the deciding since I really did trust her creative vision. I am so happy I did! Every flower piece that I saw I absolutely loved! I especially loved my bouquet. It was so beautiful. I was really impressed with the quality of the flowers that were used. I got so many compliments on the flowers - people saying that they usually aren't impressed with the flowers, but that mine were beautiful. I was very upfront with a budget that I knew I wanted to stick to, and Kate made many revisions and suggestions to keep us at our budget. Thank you Kate! You were a true pleasure to work with.

    Kate is unbelievable, the ideas and visions she comes up with are untouchable. She did high and low center pieces for our wedding and we are still getting compliments on the flowers. The flowers for the bridesmaids where a bright green that brought everything together and really helped the dark purple dresses pop. Kate even went above and beyond to find the picaso calla lilly's that the bride really wanted for the guys to wear. The brides flowers were unbelievable and she kept them for over a week in water on the table. I highly recommend Kate and you can rest easy when she is taking care of the flowers. Thanks

    Kate is a dream to work with and our flowers were just gorgeous. She and my daughter, the bride, connected immediately and the end result was breathtaking. Our winter white wedding was one out of a dream.
    Kate is just so wonderful to work with. She is supportive, kind, creative, loving and very professional. We truly felt very special throughout the entire process.
    I would recommend Katydid to anyone. We've seen other florists, but no one compares with Katydid. Outstanding!!!!!

    Fantasy Flowers!

    Kate and her team created a boutique I could not have even dreamed up. They were so wonderful throughout the planning process as well as the day of the event. I had some major changes to my Wedding due to COVID, and Kate and her team were so understanding and flexible! Katydid flowers really added a magical touch to the day and I cannot wait to get our professional pictures back to have more memories of their beautiful creations.

    An eye for the entire vision

    When looking for our florist, we searched high and low for someone who understood our "refined bohemian" vibe. After digging through albumns of recent weddings in our area, we kept coming across the same name for floral arrangements that caught our eye. They were a bit abstract with a whole lot of style and felt like each arrangement spoke to the couple that held them.

    It took one call with Katie and we were hooked!

    Throughout the entire process Katie saw the bigger picture and alllowed us to make adjustments to fit the feel of our florals to the big day as it got closer. Her suggestions on how to round out the space and little touches around the venue made BIG impacts. Our guests could not stop talking about all of the texture and lush beach vibes that Katie brought to the room. The florals were a standout!

    We could not have been happier with the magic that Katie created and we look forward to working with her in the future.

    I highly recommend Katydid floral design, from the very start Kate got my vision. But I have to say when I walked into our ceremony I was blown away. Not only did she see my vision but she went above and beyond it. Everything was just amazing. She worked with me, as I am a welder and made part of our centerpieces for our receptions, and her flower pieces for the tables were breathtaking. My bouquet was out of this world and I couldn't have invisioned a more beautiful hair piece that she made, the day of for me to wear. Kate is so easy to work with, laid back but very professional, and extremely talented. We both loved every part of what she created for us, and can't thank her and her team enough for making our wedding absolutely breathtaking. Thank you Kate!!!

    The best floral design in the state! These girls will make all your Pinterest flower fantasies come true! Our wedding flowers were everything we wanted them to be, and more! Katydid made the bouquets and grooms boutonniere for our wedding and they turned out even more beautiful than expected! I gave Kate and the girls pretty specific directions on what I wanted/ didn't want along with some inspiration pictures, and they made sure to meet all my requirements. Lovely staff, beautiful store, and the best experience!

    Kate created a magical wedding for me. She was able to take an image I had seen in a magazine and design beautiful chandeliers made of twigs and moss that were hung in the tent for our June wedding. We were opposed to using cut flowers for our centerpieces, so she found wonderful pots in various styles and potted live ferns, begonias and herbs for a garden on each table. The pots served as favors for our guests and were a huge hit. She also provided wonderful edible flowers to the baker for decorating our cake. My bouquet was beautiful and even bigger than I needed. I found out after the wedding, that when I asked her to scale it down, she took the flowers she removed and tied them to the post of our mailbox with a beautiful silk ribbon to help direct our guests to the house. Katydid is a gem.

    Kate is awesome at what she does! She is very laid back and follows your vision to a T. When I needed things altered or changed my mind she was right there with me; in fact she accomplished everything with minimal visits and emails - it was the least stressful vendor I worked with. The only downside is pricing, while Kate provides a contract, the final balance was a bit more than I initially anticipated.

    I did not have a lot of flowers at my wedding but I was happy I chose Kate for what I did have. Living about an hour and a half away from where I was having my wedding in my hometown, I was very happy to be able to do EVERYTHING with Kate virtually. I gave Kate a lot of general ideas of what I wanted, she shared photos with me, and the results were beautiful. She dropped everything off at the hotel the morning of the wedding exactly on time and I was so pleased with the results.

    Kate did an amazing job providing us with bright, beautiful and fresh flowers for our wedding. They had the tropical feel that we were looking for. I absolutely loved my bouquet and wish I was able to hold it all night long! Kate did a great job working with our budget and everything turned out wonderfully.

    Incredibly Beautiful Work!

    We worked with Katie for our June 2019 wedding at Mallard Island Yacht Club. Her work is absolutely stunning and she executed so wonderfully on our vision for the day! We are so happy we went with her and were thrilled with the result. She definitely sources very high quality flowers and her arrangements are absolutely breathtaking.

    Kate really takes the time to sit down with you and really understand your vision to ensure she gets the look and feel you have in mind.

    Wonderful!

    Kate and Leslie did a beautiful job with my wedding flowers. My personal bouquet was absolutely gorgeous (I received so many compliments on this) and I loved how they made our tables for our reception look - warm and inviting! Even though everything was exactly as I requested, it all looked even better than I pictured! Thank you Katydid!

    Incredibly talented florist who transfers a vision to reality

    Katydid managed to transform my vision of floral design into a reality. If you want to be hands off and allow your florist to design an incredible ambiance and decor, then look no further. I was able to share the types of flowers that I like, the colors and the type of centerpieces that appealed to me and Katydid was able to take that information to transform the room. I was happy to hand over the reigns to someone in the business who knows what they are doing and trust that they will take my input and make it a reality without me having to design it. Highly recommend!

    We found katydid very late in the planning process - about a month prior to the wedding. We were a bit nervous after our initial meeting as the shop itself was a bit of a mess, however everything was delivered on time and set up perfectly and she even included a free flower crown for our flower girl. Overall, I would recommend katydid.

    A little bummed

    We first met with Kate and enjoyed the vision that she discussed. Starting with the positives – the bridal bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets were gorgeous. They were exactly what we wanted. The flowers up the aisle, that got repurposed in front of the suite heart table were also very pretty. The arch was perfect and exactly what we pictured. For what we paid for the center pieces, we were upset with how little some were. We had three different centerpieces varied throughout the room. The large ones were pretty. The smaller ones were really small, which was not what we discussed or envisioned. Kate ended up having to go back to the shop to get more flowers, because my mom luckily checked in the ballroom earlier in the day to see what they looked liked. The boutonnieres were quite small. The venue somehow had some that we used for the father of the bride, father of the groom and the groom, because they were that small. We also struggled a bit with Kate’s organization. Overall, the flowers looked pretty, but we weren’t thrilled with some aspects.

    Extremely Disapointed

    When I first booked with Kate in August of 2020 I was so excited. She seemed to really understand my vision and I was thrilled since flowers play such a huge part. As my November 2021 wedding was approaching I had reached out to Kate to see if another meeting was necessary to firm everything up, she replied no. Trusting her, I said okay. A week before the wedding she sets up our final call and casually drops that she doesn't think she's going to have enough candelabras (the main reason for going with her). Naturally I was bummed, but Kate gave a beautiful description of how she could replace them. Flash forward to the wedding day and the centerpieces were a complete disaster. They looked terrible. Her fabulous descriptions of what she was going to provide was a complete sham. Her replacement of the candelabra was something that I could have put together in 2 seconds for less than $5 and she charged over $900. The "Floral moment" as she called it, was 4 small rose buds in a vase. For the amount of money she charged, she did not deliver. Not to mention, her crew came and took all of the flowers that we informed her we wanted (as we did pay for them!!). Her response was oops, sorry my crew took them...absolutely terrible. The worst part is that we reached out to discuss our disappointment and she hasn't even had the decency to respond.

    Before leaving a review I want to agree with everyone in saying Katydid's flowers are stunning. I had the most beautiful bouquet of all time and my arrangements were equally as pretty. However, as a bride you want to be completely confident when booking your vendors that they have your best interest at heart. When our reception ended and our guests and family were wishing my husband and I goodbye (downstairs, outside) ALL of our flowers were loaded in a van and taken WITHOUT MENTION. After paying a few thousand dollars for floral arrangements, my parents returned home with only my bouquet. Upon reaching out with my concern after returning from my honeymoon and finding out, I was told "we should have told them before the wedding we wanted the flowers." I couldn't disagree more- We paid for each flower with cash. These were our flowers. Therefore, we should have been ASKED while planning what we wanted done with our flowers after the reception ended, before this even became an issue. An honest company would have forewarned us BEFORE the wedding that in 20 minutes time, after guests left the ballroom, all flowers would be taken away. Those who have had wedding before know the hustle and bustle of wishing the bride and groom off. Had they known, my parents would have been prepared to ask for their flowers. Instead they returned to a flowerless ballroom and they held brunch the next day in our home without a single arrangement...except my bouquet. So sad and disheartening.
