Catherine Scott Flowers

Catherine did one amazing job on our wedding flowers! We were extremely happy with the way all the flowers turned out and got lots of compliments on how beautiful they were. Catherine was so good at listening to our needs and made sure we got exactly we wanted. I highly recommend hiring Catherine if you are looking for a florist to give you the perfect wedding flowers!

I cannot recommend Catherine Scott Flowers highly enough. At every step of the way, she was nothing short of spectacular. She helped us to have the wedding of our dreams straight from a storybook fairytale. I do not know the names of flowers or which ones cost more or less or which ones are in season at different points and what they typically look like. From jump, Catherine talked to me and had numerous phone and email conversations to figure out the exact color, feel, look, and budget I wanted for our wedding floral décor. She made suggestions to include things that I love, but didn’t know the names of (like mercury glass — google it btw, it’s lovely).
Her proposals were detailed and I knew exactly what we’d be getting even though I was planning from across the country. Still, I started tearing up when I first saw the bouquets on the day of our wedding. They were gorgeous. There was absolutely nothing that I would’ve changed about the bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, aisle décor, tablescapes, or cocktail hour décor. She nailed everything and did it within a reasonable budget. She worked perfectly with our venue, rentals, changes due to a bit of family drama, and our planner and she was such a delight the whole way. Catherine let me know what would look best and how things would impact price. All of her work looked amazing and as an unexpected bonus the bouquets and centerpieces lasted for days and days after the event. I am still getting compliments on Catherine’s work and we just received our pro photos — everything she did looks wonderful in pics too. Catherine is simply an amazing florist and a wonderful person to work with. Thank you so so so so much, Catherine!

One of the best decisions we made, hands down, was having Catherine as our florist. She was such a pleasure to work with. I was a destination bride, so all of our interactions before the wedding were over the phone and reviewing my Pinterest board. After every call I felt so confident that the flowers would be amazing. Catherine exceeded anything we could have ever imagined. The flowers were absolutely breathtaking! I look at the pics now and still can’t believe how gorgeous they were! Anyone would be so lucky to have Catherine for their big day, not only for her amazing work, but for her amazing heart that went into each and every arrangement. Thank you, Catherine!

Honestly, people won’t stop talking about how gorgeous our bouquets and arrangements were. I didn’t expect people to really notice the flowers, unless gardening was a hobby for them as it is for me. But they sure did. I even got comments like «I have never seen such gorgeous flowers at a wedding before.» Catherine was SUPER to work with. Because flower gardening is a hobby of mine, I was pretty particular about what I wanted and I vetted at least 8 different highly ranked florists/​wedding specialists. She was the only one to tell me that the look I wanted would have to be tweaked because our reception was going to be in a cave and the lighting would not give the effect we wanted. I asked her for recommendations on adding certain colors and voila — her ideas were AMAZING! I also provided a photo of what I hoped for on the head table and she produced exactly what I wanted — height, depth, colors, particular flowers even. WOW! I definitely felt like she was willing to make the process as collaborative (or not) as the client wanted it to be. And she was always prompt about emailing back, which I greatly appreciated. THANK YOU CATHERINE!

Catherine did the flowers for my wedding in Hopland, CA this past May. She was one of the best vendors I worked with!
I didn’t really have much of a vision for my flowers, and I told Catherine this. I had some magazine photos to show, but that was about it. I felt like Catherine asked me just the right questions, and the result was better than what I would have dreamed up on my own. My wedding was in a garden, so it would have been easy for my florals to get lost in what was already blooming there. But Catherine worked WITH what was there as well as the scanty vision I gave her to create gorgeous arrangements that complimented the setting beautifully. I didn’t think I really cared much about the flowers, but they ended up being a highlight for me — literally like something out of my dreams. I think my photographer like them too, because they took about 100 pics just of the flowers! Each arrangement was unique!
Beyond this, Catherine was really kind. During one of our meetings, she could tell I was stressed about a number of things. She gave me a big hug and shared some understanding words. I agree with the reviewer who said she has as much heart as she does talent.

Catherine did the flowers for my wedding which turned out gorgeous. I wanted a collection of vintage style vases for the table centerpieces and she was very creative in finding and pairing them, which she included in the cost.
I requested pastel colors and some of the actual flowers did turn out a bit darker than I anticipated but they were stunning nonetheless and I was happy with how they turned out. She clearly took a lot of care in arranging them and was very reliable and easy to work with.

Catherine Scott is absolutely delightful! So, my fiancé and I had our weekend of vendor meetings in Sonoma fall apart at the last minute (following the previous weekend where multiple Sonoma/​Glen Ellen vendors baled on us, leaving us quite in the lurch,) and thankfully, Catherine Scott was able to fit us in at the ninth hour for a consult. As out of towners, we were finding pinning down Sonoma vendors was stressful and difficult, and the ones we did manage to meet with left us underwhelmed. We had one great experience, though, with Dreamers and Heroes, who suggested we look into Catherine, and I am so glad we did. Her work is lovely, but more than that, she is lovely. She has a very calm way about her, and really took time to listen to us. She was up front about what she could and couldn’t do, and offered solutions for our décor needs. We brainstormed about how we could realize our DIY vintage wedding ideas, and she really had a great sense of what we were going for. She is calm and capable… something every bride needs her florist to be on her wedding day. Catherine was completely refreshing!

Not only does Catherine do AMAZING arrangements, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I worked long-​distance with her, only meeting her once at the beginning as our wedding was in Sonoma and we live in Chicago. She made it SO easy. Always emailing and asking questions so that she could get it all «right» for us. I very much appreciated that! And she was SPOT ON with everything. From the Rehearsal dinner flowers, to the wedding night dinner flowers to the boutonnière to the small touches all around the property (We were married @ Kenwood Inn & Spa). And MY bouquet was AMAZING! It was exactly how I pictured it to be. She also made arrangements for the rooms of our out of town guests. They were beautiful. Simply BEAUTIFUL. I HIGHLY recommend working with her!!!

Catherine recently did the flowers for my wedding. She was great to work with and the flowers turned out exactly as I had hoped for! On top of her delivering exactly what I asked for, she worked with me to keep the cost within my budget which I really appreciated.
I would advise being very specific about you want with her though. My one complaint would be there there was a lot of back and forth to confirm the same details again and again. I supplied images and a lot precise direction, I even gave her color swatches to match for the flowers which she seemed to appreciate. In the end though, I got exactly what I wanted so I appreciate that she followed up to make sure she was on right the track.
I would definitely recommend working with her if you have a specific vision and budget, she will gladly work with you to make sure you get exactly what you want.

We used Catherine for our June 2011 wedding at Château St. Jean. The flowers at my wedding were some of the most beautiful ones I had ever seen at an event. They were exactly-​to a tee-​what I had envisioned and hoped for. When we met with Catherine in January for our consultation, I could tell immediately that she was a woman of talent and vision. In addition to this, she was extremely gracious and lovely to work with. We spoke for a while about my vision and it was very important to her to make sure it was what I wanted. After we met, she went to the site on her own to scout out the location so we could decide on some ideas we were meddling on. For the next few months, I changed my mind on colors, and I had a special request change from my mother on her own corsage. Catherine was extremely accomodating to these changes. She came up with some fabulous ideas for the ribbons on the bouquets and the flower girl baskets. When I walked into the room the day of the wedding and saw all of the bridesmaid bouquets and my own, I instantly cried. She had brought to life everything I had wanted! The peaches, corals and greens she used not only stood out that day, but in the pictures looked unbelievable. I have gotten tons of compliments already! Thank you to Catherine for making my day so beautiful!

This is a review on her consultation with me for our selections of wedding flowers. First, I can’t stress what a relief she was for me. I had seen another vendor the day before and was so disappointed in his lack of «hearing» me and getting to feel what I wanted to envision. I felt that this vendor was leading me to a path of what he envisioned and definitely not what I wanted to do.
So, after I was distraught from this, I emailed Catherine that same day on a Saturday and she replied within an hour! This was great. Not only that, but she made time for me the next day on a Sunday to meet me at the location of where our wedding is being held.
She listened to everything I had to say, she asked me what flowers I didn’t like, what do you like. Can you see flowers like this… she brought her portfolio out and got me involved in what I could see and how she could help make the arrangements to what I like.
One of the things I really appreciated was that she wanted to walk the ceremony sites, get an idea of what I envisioned and then we walked to the reception site as well to see where everything could be placed etc.(even the womens toilet).
Her deep sincerity was truly felt and when I was talking with her, I knew I found my florist. She left me feeling confident in my choice and I look forward to her arrangements for our wedding. I will post pics to update, but it will be later in the year!

Aside from my wonderful choice in wedding planner, hiring Catherine for our September 2009 wedding was one of the best choices I made, hands down.
Catherine is professional, personal, creative and attentive… and she even went out of her way to help account for some last minute changes in budget. And the flowers… oh my gosh, the flowers! They were STUNNING! When she delivered them, I almost cried they were so pretty! Catherine completely understood my look and feel and ran with it, making arrangements that were not only texturally interesting and rustically beautiful, but insanely gorgeous when it came to the subtle nuances in contrast and color.
I have never ever seen bridesmaids bouquets as beautiful as the ones my bridesmaids were lucky enough to carry… and my bouquet was amazing… even better than what I had in mind, and I got so many compliments from guests!
Catherine not only exceeded my expectations in every way, but was an absolute pleasure to work with, and a delight to have sharing in the chaos and anticipation before my walk down the aisle. If you want flowers that are crafted with an masterful touch, an artist’s eye and a lot of love, and you want to work with someone who has as much heart as she has talent, you simply can’t go wrong with Catherine. I can’t recommend her enough!

I really can’t believe the other review for Catherine, because my experience with her was COMPLETELY different. I used her for our wedding flowers on October 24^th, 2009 and they were exquisite. I met with her only once with some images and she produced exactly what I wanted. Actually, she exceeded my expectations. I was BLOWN away when I first saw what she had created for us. Also, I should note that what I wanted was a little unusual and complex to create. I wanted succulents as the main foliage for my bouquet and the boutonnières…She actually hand wired every single succulent and orchid! On top of that, I was able to plant the succulents afterwards as a keepsake (see my pics). Catherine was a complete professional and is a true artist. She was extremely communicative throughout the whole planning process. We loved our flowers and they gave the perfect vibe for our autumn wedding. Everyone raved, even the other vendors and you know they have seen their share of flower arrangements. Obviously, I cannot gush enough about Catherine, you will not be disapointed… Thank you Catherine!

I used Catherine to design my wedding flowers as she was recommended to me by several people. She managed to translate my ideas into exactly what I envisioned. I loved her color choices and design style. She was easy to work with and I got good value for what she produced.

was very impressed with Catherine. The flowers were amazing, she was easy to work with and I felt I received a GREAT value for her service. Thank you Catherine for making our wedding day extraordinary!

I LOVE the flowers that Catherine Scott does! They are beyond beautiful! I have used Catherine Scott for a major party for 350 people where the venue was décor challenged, to say the very least. Catherine came up with an exquisite solution that transformed a very drab décor into something both elegant and exciting. My guests were agog with how beautiful the flowers were. I was thrilled. I have also used her for several smaller (75 person) holiday parties in my home and, again, she has come up with stunning arrangements that are statement pieces and really make the party special. And I have used her for smaller, more intimate dinners where she has created a couple of fabulous centerpieces for my table whose beauty conveys to my guests how special I think they are. Catherine is an absolute DELIGHT to work with. She has a lovely personality and has excellent taste. She shows up when she says she will. I always enjoy dealing with her and she always exceeds my expectations with her creativity. Her English garden arrangements of peonies, hydrangeas and roses are just breath-​taking. They are very 3D and sculptural and lush and beyond pretty. Her prices are reasonable.

We have used Catherine Scott for two big events. Both of these were far more beautiful and successful than they would have been had we not found her. My husband and I both wished we could have known about her for our wedding 12 years ago, where the flowers were expensive and they were a bit scanty. Catherine really got exactly what we were going for, in one case a lush winter festive feeling for our 10^th anniversary, where she used draped greenery and large flowers as accents, and seasonal centerpieces with little gold gifts stuck in; and at a birthday party that was more casual, her arrangments carried a sort of «Dutch masters» look with our choice of mostly primary colors. She has that fantastic English eye for floral display, and is fun to work with, listening to each thing you want and then checking back to make sure she’s got it right. I wouldn’t use anyone else unless I had to!

I used Catherine for my wedding because she was the in-​house designer at the venue I had selected and it seemed the easiest thing to do. I trusted her artistry and made only a few specific design requests (e.g., no green in the bridesmaid bouquets) none of which she honored. Her prices were very high, her products barely satisfactory, and her attitude throughout the process was haughty and unfriendly, as if my wedding was the last thing on her mind. I recommend using a flower shop instead.
