Catherine Thoele Florals

and easy to work with! When I showed up to my wedding, she did BEYOND what I even imaged..everything was so beautiful. She really cares to make the bride happy and will do whatever it takes. I would defiantly recommend her!

ever you want, Catherine will make it come to life!

every step of the way. My sister even ordered centerpieces for my shower from her and it set the tone for the entire wedding. So happy I chose her!

dding planner! I could not be happier. Highly recommend!

also knows how to best optimize your wedding timeline so you and your family have the absolute best florals possible. Catherine invited us to her house for our first consult where we completely changed the color scheme but I left feeling so confident I didn’t worry about the florals at all for almost a year. When my wedding day came, Catherine had come up with the most gorgeous designs they looked absolutely divine, and BETTER than anything I had ever seen in any magazine or wedding in my entire life. I can’t wait for the professional photos to come back which can hopefully showcase as much as in person the absolute artistry of design. In my case, I only had a few restrictions (i.e. avoid roses, avoid monotone, a couple of inspiration pictures but nothing that I thought was exactly what I wanted) and Catherine came up with something out of this world. For other brides that have a more specific vision, I am certain that Catherine can deliver. And for brides like myself that can handle a surprise, believe me that it has been worth it. Catherine also suggested that my flower girl, since I was getting married in a garden, carry a watering can (which we decorated together) filled with her own bouquet. It was so adorable on the wedding day and its now a special keepsake for her. All my wedding party’s flowers were also gorgeous, which complemented but did not overpower my own bouquet. My groom was ecstatic with the boutonnieres—his was just gorgeous as a unique design, with all the other men having different but again, complementary designs. Cost-wise, Catherine was transparent and I found everything to be extremely easy to work with. The result was just a perfect day with memories to last a lifetime. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Catherine and her team. It would be impossible to be disappointed with their work, and I recommend them to the highest degree of confidence possible.

tions, I was blown away! Catherine exceeded my expectations and everything from the centerpieces down to the boutonnieres were awe dropping beautiful. We received so many compliments and Catherine is a true artist!

g. She truly hit it out of the park! So stunning and more beautiful than I had ever dreamed possible. Truly breathtaking. Catherine I cannot thank you enough.

Her incredible ideas turned out to be the most outstanding flower pieces I have ever seen. Her artistry and passion shows in her work. I could not have been any happier.

be recommending her to all my friends. Thanks Catherine, you made our day so special.

. She truly hit it out of the park! So stunning and more beautiful than I had ever dreamed possible. Truly breathtaking. Catherine I cannot thank you enough.

ote and only after I️ asked for an update. She sent me back an email that sounded more like a lecture and also quoted me $3600 and $800 for just the delivery fee.My sister recommended her to me and said that her pricing was way lower not even a year ago. My guess is that I️ offended her with my low budget, even though her original email had a whole paragraph about not being afraid to let her know of your budget.

u hire her! She meets with you several times to talk through the theme and brainstorm new and creative ideas. Her passion for the floral business is obvious, and she wants each event to be unique and different. I did not want cookie cutter flowers, and she delivered above and beyond. Thank you Catherine!!! Can't recommend her enough.

s were open to the reception - and it was definitely! We received so many compliments from everybody. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job Catherine and you are truly amazing!

She really helped me to bring my vision to life. Catherine was great from start to beautiful finish. If you want an experienced and professional florist for your day choose Catherine!!!

plements on her work! I am so glad I went with her for my wedding flowers, I would choose her again and again!

ding. It was truly spectacular! I have only one word for Catherine and her work...AMAZING! Her flower arrangements were the most beautiful I have seen anywhere, at any wedding, EVER! Catherine was a true joy to work with. She made the experience one to remember and a lot of fun! We will miss seeing her. Our thanks to her!

and our cake baker to make sure that everyone and everything was on schedule for our wedding day. Her team stayed at the church to help with the last minute details and helped get everyone got down the aisle. We got SO many compliments on our wedding flowers. It was an absolute pleasure working with Catherine! I would recommend her to anyone!!

bsolutely perfect. I was so impressed by the amount of time and effort she spent making sure that I was able to get the look I was hoping to get for my wedding. I wish that I could upload pictures of exactly how awesome her arrangements and bouquets turned out because they were so much more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed of but I know she has lots of samples of her work if you just contact her. In addition to her talent, she is also such a pleasure to work with. Now that the wedding is over, I will definitely miss working with her!

ling that she must be a passionate and sweet florist. Plus, whenever I threw a question to her, she was always very fast responded with detailed explanation. When I got to meet her 7 weeks before my wedding, I only have some rough idea what I want for my flowers and center pieces, but she was so patience and nice, trying to help me to choose flowers and colors using her expertise. I didn't have much time to do the wedding planing because of a new job and moving to another state and wedding happened the same time, so after the meeting with her, she made a very detailed notes for me and walk through all of them via phone before she order the flowers. All of these are very smoothy.... Catherine even helped me to draw a timeline for the ceremony and volunteered to help my venue to set up name cards and wedding favors on the tables. I cannot say enough how happy I was when I saw my bridesmaid and my bouquets, they are so beautiful and the center pieces, exactly or even prettier than what I have imagined. One more thing I have to mention is that her price is very reasonable, even with a tight budget like I had, you are still guaranteed to have the beautiful flowers you have dreamed of.

were requesting her information and asking for any of the left over bouquets. Her bouquets were original, stylish and tastefully done, I have never seen any florist compare to the quality. Not only did she create beautiful bouquets, but she went above and beyond to make me as a bride feel prepared and ready for the wedding day. I would recommend her for any wedding or major event, loved her!

outside our budget or never returned my emails/calls. From the first time I talked to Catherine, she broke down all costs and explained why certain things were priced the way they were so I understood, and was still willing to work with my budget, even helping me come up with ways to cut costs. She was so sweet and kept in touch through my whole planning process. I was BLOWN AWAY at how big and beautiful my bouquets were, at first I thought the bridesmaid bouquet was mine, that's how large and gorgeous they all were. She is truly the best and just a great person in general. I would recommend her to any and everyone looking for a florist!

the wedding party, but the reception arrangements were perfect. Catherine's floral creations gave the wedding a beautiful & elegant fairy tale ambience. Our family and guests were amazed at how lovely the flowers were. Catherine did all this to fit my Daughter's budget. I highly recommend Catherine.

ers crowns that they bridesmaids and the bride wore. My sister was working an out of state project in the months leading up to the wedding, and with so much on her plate, it was a BLESSING to work with someone who completely understood her vision for her big day and made it happen. I cannot express enough how GORGEOUS the flowers were, how many people commented on them at the wedding and after, how gorgeous they are in pictures, and how BIG my sister's smile was when she saw everything. They truly made the most special day in her life even more special - I am so grateful to Catherine for all that she did!

her. I had a 6 month engagement and the entire focal point of my wedding was flowers. I love wildflowers and wanted every aspect of our wedding to give off a very boho whimsical vibe. Catherine was so prompt in her responses and because she is highly sought after, she always let me know when she would be able to meet or respond to any questions that I have. She does so many events outside of weddings during the week and still gives her brides the utmost attention . I read a comment on here that describe her as a "fairy godmother" and that could not be more true. My fiancé and I met with Catherine at her home and she was so warm and inviting. She worked with the budget we gave her and absolutely EXCEEDED our expectations. She not only helped me with flowers but she helped me with the overall planning of my wedding and gave suggestions for ideal table sizes, centerpiece vases, timing and so much more. She was a true angel ! On my wedding day, Catherine arrived into my bridal suite and I started to tear up because the bouquets she designed were the most BEAUTIFUL flowers I have ever seen. I was speechless and had no idea I could ever have something so gorgeous for my wedding. In addition to the bouquets, Catherine made me a stunning flower crown to wear and it was better than any picture I sent her. My husband and his groomsmen had the cutest succulent boutonnieres and everyone loved how they looked. I was also one of Catherine's budget brides but you wouldn't have known. She transformed my reception into a boho paradise. My head table had eucalyptus and rose petals beautifully laid out. She made the bridesmaids bouquets fuller so they could be used as centerpieces. She even made me a special floral cake topper ! I found out after the wedding that Catherine went above and beyond her job when she saw that the tables were not set up right at the venue. I didn't even know anything was wrong because she took care of everything and had it set up again the right way so that my vision came to life. Catherine is such a beautiful soul to work with. Sadly, I lost my beloved grandmother and wished so badly she could be there on my wedding day. Catherine's kind and fun nature reminded me so much of my own grandmother, it was truly a joy working with her. We've had so many guests and family members ask for her name after seeing pictures of all the flowers she created. She cares deeply about the work she provides but more importantly, she truly cares about people and loves to make their dreams become a reality. She's a phenomenal florist and I would recommend her time and time again!

dding, which can be so stressful, fun. Working with her make you feel confident that everything is going to turn out great. And it does. All of the bouquets and floral arrangements were stunning. She blends classic with unique artistic designs that truly made my daughter's wedding one of the most beautiful I had ever seen.

way to provide ideas and suggestions for the overall decor of the wedding that ultimately helped shape many of our decisions. She is incredibly knowledgeable and her help was invaluable. With this in mind, her prices were incredibly affordable and she went above and beyond to make our vision come true! On the day of the wedding we were completely IN LOVE with and AMAZED by ALL of the flowers. My bouquet was simply GORGEOUS. The colors, flowers, everything was perfect! We received so many compliments on the flowers and they look amazing in every single photo. Besides the actual product, Catherine is a gem to work with and I would book her all over again!!!

r budgets and they said they liked her work. Catherine did come up with some clever ways to save money, like using the bridesmaid’s bouquets as centerpieces on some tables, as well as some other ideas. That being said, it seemed liked she didn’t want to put the effort in for a smaller budget wedding. Communication with her could be hard at times, which was disappointing because I was planning from out of town. It also was hard to get answers from her and at times I felt her tone in her emails was even judgmental. When I tried to email her to touch base with details, that was a complete disaster. She responded saying on several occasions saying she was busy and it would seem I could only get responses on Sundays. When she would send the proposal to go over, she would leave out many details. On a few emails she commented how she forgot to add something in and would return the adjusted proposal later that evening, but it wouldn’t come until the following week. When it did come, she still forgot to make the changes, and I would have to go another week before hearing from her. When telling her the final number count for tables, she wanted it 6 weeks out, but most RSVP's from wedding invitations are not due back until a month before. When we had to take some tables out still 4 weeks before the wedding, I got a very unprofessional email from her that was several paragraphs long. She said she was going to continue doing my wedding is because she liked my grandma. I felt her response was inconsiderate and inappropriate! I remember sitting at a meeting with her and she explained how her own son, who she was doing the flowers for, was changing details during the last week, and she was expecting me to have a final head count one month out?! Vendors are supposed to make the planning process easier – not harder. Also, on our final meeting, when discussing some final details and mentioning colors, she didn’t even know some of the colors for the wedding, even though I provided her with color swatches. Lastly, I absolutely loved the bridesmaid’s bouquets and centerpieces she did. Unfortunately I absolutely hated my bouquet. It didn’t look at all like what we talked about. It also did not uphold well and many stems and flowers kept falling off throughout the day. My bouquet is obviously the one in many photos and seeing the bouquet is just an eyesore. Overall, she does nice work but I feel she's not worth the headache.

and my vision and execute it even better than I could have dreamed of! My husband and I were married at the Missouri Botanical Garden, so I needed to make sure that my flowers lived up to the beauty of the location. Catherine went above and beyond, using her impeccable style and vision. She's a funny woman as well, so be prepared to meet her big personality! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants breathtaking flowers for a very reasonable price. I still have people telling me how beautiful the bouquets were! A big thank you to Catherine for making my special day even more fantastic.

before my wedding. I took a fabric swatch, pictures of ideas I had for flowers and knew the colors I liked. I explained that I did have to stay within a budget. She gave great suggestions for center pieces within my budget and she was able to substitute some flowers that were costly with others that were more reasonable and in season. She gave me advice that helped me get through the pre ceremony plans so that the entire bridal party and flowers would still look fresh for the ceremony. I received so many compliments on the flowers. I really appreciated all she did to make the day so special.

l day long. She made my amazing day extraordinary!!!!!!! Five stars is not enough !

umber 1 above all others. There is nothing pretentious or judgmental about Catherine. She has a keen attention for detail and while she offered suggestions, we never felt like we were being pressured. Catherine was willing to work with whatever budget we had in mind. Come the day of the wedding, Catherine personally delivered the flowers, and to say they were stunning is an understatement. Each arrangement was overflowing with fresh flowers and all were arranged just as we had envisioned. Catherine stayed on site the entire time, making sure that the arrangements were transitioned from the wedding to the reception. Catherine gave us a personalized service that we've never experienced from the well-known floral shops. Not only was she a genuine pleasure to work with from beginning to end, but we highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed!

tations. I know my mom kept bugging her the week before the wedding and Catherine took care of that also. That florist has the best customer service ever but more importantly the gorgeous arrangement. My bouget was the most beautiful flower arrangement I had ever seen before. If you are looking for OUTSTANDING, look no further. I am recommending Catherine Thoele Florist to all my friends.

ng and reception, I can't say enough about her work. Our flowers were above expectations. She did her very best to bring my daughter's vision to life for her big day...and the flowers were even more beautiful than we had planned. Simply stunning. When I first saw them on the wedding day, I was speechless. Not only does Catherine listen to your wishes and bring them to reality, she goes extra miles (not one, but several extra miles) to make sure you are comfortable and relaxed on your wedding day. She delivered decorations to our reception site, she came by the house to pick up supplies and to meet with us. She is very particular, and wants everything to be perfect. And it is. The highest compliment I can give Catherine is to say that when our other daughter marries, she will again be our florist. I wouldn't work with anyone else. :-)

d to do for the wedding it was a relief to know that you took care of our flowers. You thought of everything and were on time, professional, courteous and I never worried once that they would be gorgeous. You are OUTSTANDING!

of the expert that she really and truly is. We had something in mind for what we wanted but never expected the amazing creations we received. They were extraordinary and we were overwhelmed by her works of art. She is so creative and her staff was so professional that the whole experience was truly breathtaking. She transformed a plain hall into such a gorgeous environment. I am so grateful to her for making my daughter’s day one of a kind. I will recommend her to everyone I know.

image I had for my wedding flowers. I received so many compliments on how beautiful the flowers were at my wedding. I thought she was very affordable for the quality of her work. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a florist for their wedding!

ants for her designs. I gave her a few pictures of types of flowers I like for inspiration, and she delivered bouquets that were better than I could have imagined. She is truly a professional and I would recommend her highly.

understood my budget and gave me a much larger arrangement than I was expecting within my price range. She was also very understanding to my restraints at hanging items and contacted the wedding venue herself to make arrangements.

all the pictures I had, brain stormed with me and really made everything I had thought about, become real! I was an out of town bride and when I came to St Louis to meet with vendors, she blocked off time with me, set up ideas for me and made sure everything was ready to go so that I wouldn't have to worry until the wedding. She also spent hours on the phone with me initially getting to know me and getting a feel for what I wanted. She volunteered her time to help with other set ups or with anything else I needed help with in the St Louis area. She worked with my bakery to decorate the cake,and it was the highlight of my night! I fully trusted Catherine in handling anything with the wedding and I'm sure she jumped in to help with other things that I don't even know about, and for that I am truly thankful! There was never a doubt in my mind that night about the flowers or reception set up, she had it handled completely! I give Catherine my top recommendation for any brides out there, from local brides to out of town brides! She was so easy to work with and was a stress free florist! Thanks Catherine!!

ly. She understood my entire vision from the bouquets to the tall centerpieces. I also had a specific tall vase in mind that I saw online and she found them for me! I couldn't believe how gorgeous everything turned out, absolutely amazing and our guests are still going crazy over the flowers. If your guests don't talk about your flowers its because you didn't choose Catherine! Planning a wedding can get stressful and if you can have one vendor to put your mind at ease its her! Loved everything, thank you so much.

were breath taking! She knows just what to do to preserve the flowers so they are not wilted by the time you get to your reception. Many florists don't know this and the flowers don't hold up. She is also very reasonable in price. I priced out many florists and she was in fact the most reasonable. Catherine did a remarkable job at our recent wedding/reception and we HIGHLY recommend her. She has an incredible talent and will make your dreams come true! Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the floral arrangements were at our wedding and reception!!!

how she explained to me exactly how she kept track of everything. When I saw my bouquet on my wedding day I was blown away! She did an amazing job!!! You can tell that she takes pride in her work....that's what us brides LOVE! Thanks, Catherine.

r color so she worked with me and the bouquets were massive! Our budget was just over $1,000 and she gave me a few ideas that helped slash my budget to keep me on track. She worked well with my wedding coordinator and when she arrived at the church, was so sweet and genuinely excited for my fiance' and I. She is helpful, educated in her field of expertise and wonderful. I highly recommend her to all future brides.
