Fat Cat Flowers

I could rave forever about Fat Cat Flowers! We were not sure what we wanted when it came to flowers and thankfully, we hired Fat Cat. Our theme was basically 70s disco desert and by the end of our intro conversation, we were on the same page with vibe, colors, and overall feel. I so appreciate Diane's creativity and the time she took to really give us the retro, wildflower feel. Our guests (and us!) are still talking about how beautiful everything was. Could not recommend more!

Diane and her team are the best! Fat Cat Flowers was the very first vendor we booked after we secured our venue and it was one of the easiest decisions during the entire wedding planning process. I knew as soon as I had seen photos of her prior floral creations at NOAC that she was the perfect person. She was able to translate my 'wish list' of flowers and arrangements into gorgeous bouquets and arches. I I loved the tablescape she designed and it was even more amazing than I had imagined. Everyone is so talented, professional, and kind-such a joy to work with!

Diane and her team were the absolute best! I was not too particular about the flowers or arrangements, which gave Diane full opportunity to be creative. She delivered very well! She incorporated different candles, geometric shapes, floating votives, lanterns, etc., which matched my eclectic but classy style. I wish I could've taken all the flowers with me because they were so fresh and gorgeous. You will not be disappointed if you choose Fat Cat Flowers!

Diane and her team made my floral dreams come true for my wedding. As a wedding planner by profession, it was so hard for me to decide what I wanted because I see so much, but Diane truly helped me hone in my vision and brought it to life. Our guests could not stop talking about how stunning our arch was, and my bouquets were absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend this company enough!

Diane and her team were a comfortable, reliable and JOYFUL part of our wedding planning experience. Diane takes the time to get to know her couples in order to bring the best, most authentic decor to each person's special day. Communication and meetings with Fat Cat were easy and always left my husband and I feeling CLEAR and CALM, rather than more stressed about further choices to make, things to sort out, etc. We gave Diane and her team a lot of creative flexibility, and she absolutely delivered! We've been married for three months and we're still getting compliments on the flowers to this day!

My wedding flowers from Fat Cat were gooooooorgeous!! I really could not be happier with how everything turned out. When I first contacted Fat Cat in the early wedding planning stages, all I had in mind was a color palette, and honestly didn't even know here to start with flowers. They took care of everything with wonderful suggestions. My bouquets and the floral arch they created for our ceremony were so perfect. Highly, highly recommend booking with this vendor!

Working with Diane at Fat Cat was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding!! I'm not a flower connoisseur, and I wasn't looking to have a floral budget that was through the roof, but I do appreciate gorgeous flowers. Fat Cat's pricing was transparent & affordable compared to other quotes I received. But believe when I say, even though it was an affordable price, it was a luxury experience! I was able to give general direction on what I was looking for with a color palette, and let the creative team do the rest! Diane was super flexible, resourceful and communicative throughout the planning process - an absolute pleasure to work with. And she absolutely delivered on the day!!! I would recommend Fat Cat Flowers for anyone planning a wedding in NOLA!

I LOVED my flowers that Diane designed. I sent a few pictures of inspiration, and told them to have fun with it and it worked out beautifully. It was like Diane knew what I wanted before I even knew. Very highly recommend! Thank you Fat Cat Flowers!

Fat Cats did all the flowers and decor at my wedding. The bouquets, bouts, center pieces, aisle decor, the cake, and more. And to say I was obsessed with my bouquet would be an understatement. Working with them was so easy, they were quick to reply and incredibly organized. My husband and I had a difficult time explaining to Diane exactly what we wanted but Diane took what little information we were able to give and truly nailed it. Our flowers were perfect! We cannot recommend them enough!

Fat Cat Flowers did all of the beautiful florals for our wedding. From our bouquets and boutonnieres to our altar arrangement and cake, everything was beautiful and just what we envisioned for our wedding. Fat Cat Flowers was so easy to work with and made the entire process so much fun! Once they let me know they were available for our wedding day, it was easy to schedule time to visit them. When we visited their studio, they helped walk us through our vision and it was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. I had so much fun talking through all of the details! When Fat Cat Flowers brought our vision to life on our wedding day, it was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I can't thank them enough!

Fat Cat Flowers is the BEST! Diane and her team where such a joy to work with and really made me feel at ease through the whole wedding planning process. During our first meeting, I had no clue how to actually articulate my vision and somehow Diane was able to turn my dream wedding flowers into reality. I wish I could share the photo of my expression the first time I saw my boutique with this review, it just took my breath away! Thank you Fat Cat Flowers for making our wedding so beautiful!!

Diane and her team of florists at Fat Cat Flowers are incredible! They assembled the most beautiful arrangements for our wedding and were communicative, creative and flexible throughout the process. Can't say enough positive things about choosing Fat Cat Flowers for any special events!

We cannot thank Fat Cat Flowers for their work with us to lay out and provide our dream look for our wedding! We had a lot of uncertainties with our ceremony due to the pandemic shifting everything around, but we were so happy to work with Fat Cat, they were incredibly professional, easy to work with, and simply gorgeous flowers! So many design elements came from Fat Cat, even beyond the flowers; we had so many candles, centerpieces, even a beautiful rhombic arch for the rooftop ceremony! Everything turned out perfectly, and we are so grateful to Fat Cat Flowers for it!!

Diane is an absolute joy to work with! From planning to budgeting, Diane was accommodating and understood my vision. On my wedding day I was stunned at how amazing everything looked! You will not be disappointed with Fat Cat!

Diane is great to work with - We were so happy with our wedding flowers! The bouquets and boutonnières were great along with the flowers for the cake, ceremony arch, and table displays.

Diane and Fat Cat made our wedding BEAUTIFUL! She was great to work with and was able to make by vision a reality. They made such elegant aisle decorations and centerpieces and my bouquet was gorgeous. Our chuppah that they decorated was maybe the prettiest thing I have ever seen. You won't regret hiring Diane and Fat Cat!

The best florist ever! They made everything so easy. They were great at communicating. Gorgeous flowers of great quality! They made all my visions come to life and my wedding was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend!

I went through several, several phone consults with florists in the New Orleans area. They were all great, but I was on a tighter budget than most and Diane was able to meet me there unlike the others. The flowers and decorations were perfect! I had to reschedule the wedding due to COVID restrictions (8 days before) & Diane even helped to sell off the flowers that had already been ordered so that I did not have to incur more costs. Always quick to respond to emails & helpful with any questions I had. Highly recommend!

Diane was awesome to work with. I sent her a few very specific pictures of fall bouquets that I loved. She was able to make them into real life for me! On wedding day when the flowers arrived I was thrilled. We had a few calls over the time I was planning, several changes to our order and they accommodated everything. The flowers were so beautiful that my bridesmaids took mine to press so I can keep! Highly recommend.

Fat Cat Flowers did a spectacular job with our flowers. They did both our rehearsal dinner and wedding. At the rehearsal dinner, they had a gorgeous floral arrangement at the entrance of the venue and even did a floral arrangement at the ghost's table (so fun). The arrangements on the table were beautifully designed. We received so many compliments that night and knew our wedding was going to be just as amazing. Several months before our wedding, we met with Diane and described our vision for the wedding. On our wedding day, she took our vision and blew away our expectations. To put it in perspective, our guests described our wedding as having a "secret garden" vibe. Diane suggested greenery on the ceiling that gave our wedding a dreamy-look. She also designed the alter with beautiful foliage and florals. Overall, Diane is the best of the best florist. We can't recommend her enough. To reiterate, she will perfectly capture your vision and even take it beyond what you would ever imagine. Her personality is very spunky and is a blast to work with. I will forever remember her joke on where to hold my bouquet!

Fat Cat Flowers did a phenomenal job at transforming the Tea Room into our dream wedding! The flowers were SPECTACULAR. Diane is such a pro. She does a fantastic job at listening to what you want, offering her suggestions, and making your vision come to life. I couldn't stop staring at the pieces. It was perfect and we absolutely loved everything. Thank you, thank you!!

Having worked with the genius of Eve Baillee at Fat Cat Flowers in the past, she was my only consideration when it came to making my son and daughter-in-law's wedding weekend as beautifully special as they could have hoped for. Eve turned the wedding eve dinner into a wonderful room filled with clever artistry. For the wedding, she transformed the Rusty Nail patio into a wonderland. Both Eve and Diane Mouton will do all to insure that your every idea, desire, request and whim will be satisfied beyond any expectation and will do it with the utmost patience, kindness and grace.

We were out of the area until just before the rehearsal dinner. My husband and I barely arrived before our guests...but I will never forget the 'Ahhhh moment' when we got to the room. Your flowers and candle arrangements literally transformed the entire space and by extension, the whole evening. I know everyone there felt honored by the stage you set, by making that table look like heaven on earth. It was short notice, but clearly, I was 'led' to you. Could not have asked for more. Cannot thank you enough.

Working with Diane/Fat Cat Flowers was a dream. I was incredibly intimidated by flowers. I know nothing about design/decor/florals/etc. Two of my closest friends had used Fat Cat Flowers for their weddings, and so going into the inquiry I knew she as good, but after speaking with her on the phone everything felt right. Diane is so composed, professional, and easy to talk to - that alone would have sold me, but she also outdid herself on what we wanted in our venue (The Chicory) for our budget. I cannot express enough how much I loved working with the Fat Cat Flowers team for our wedding. Highly recommend her to anyone planning a New Orleans wedding from in or out of town (we live in Denver).

I can’t say thank you enough to Diane from Fat Cat Flowers. We started planning a small engagement party which turned into a surprise wedding. Diane accepted the challenge and the increasing amount of flowers we needed just a week before St. Valentine’s Day. She did an amazing job. Our St. Valentine’s Day surprise wedding was perfect because of Diane. She completely transformed the whole venue. The decoration and the flowers were absolutely beautiful. We also ordered my wedding bouquets and corsages for the bridal party and they were stunning. Diane is so talented and easy to work with - very responsive, she was getting back to me so quickly. Thank you Diane for decorating the venue and making my surprise wedding magical!!

Diane was SO AMAZING to work with! I planned my wedding from Houston, so I did not have the opportunity to visit the studio and see anything in person. However, from the initial consultation with Diane, I knew I was in great hands and could trust her to bring my vision to life, and she did not disappoint!! I am literally still obsessing over the dramatic mantle floral arrangement she created (backdrop for the ceremony), and I cannot wait to receive my wedding photos back so I can see it again! Everything was so perfect and Diane made the process so easy! I highly recommend booking Fat Cat Flowers for your wedding day floral! Thank you Diane for being a part of our special day!!

Diane was the ABSOLUTE BEST! I am incredibly detail-oriented and I initially spoke with 6-7 florists to get an idea of budget for my wedding vision. I was also worried because I was planning from out-of-state and wanted to make sure nothing was lost in translation. From our very first conversation, Diane just got it. She asked the right questions and understood my vision for something modern/elegant/colorful instantly (I literally didn't have to explain more than a sentence or two)! On top of that, I saw her past work and knew she was the one. I wanted florals to look beautiful and lush, but was worried that my budget wouldn't allow for that. Diane was a literal wizard - she allocated budget towards pieces that would make a splash (a hanging floral installation! Tall centerpieces! The moongate!), and repurposed other arrangements for both the ceremony and reception to save some money. She was responsive and on top of any tweaks, changes, and additions leading up to the wedding - all while staying within budget. On our wedding day, our flowers were BEYOND gorgeous and totally set the stage for the feel of our wedding! There were some items that I told her to use creative license for (because I could not be bothered to make any additional decisions at that point and I trusted her vision), and trust me when I say that I could not have been more pleased with how stunning all our florals were. Diane is a true artist and we love her!!! Can we do it again, Diane??

Diane and her team were wonderful. As I began initially calling around and pricing out various florists , she was the first one to get back to me to review a personal proposal over the phone. She worked with my budget. She was responsive and very easy to reach. On the day of the wedding, she and her team decorated our venue beautifully and delivered my wedding bouquet personally. On top of running a very reliable and professional business, Diane is extremely talented. I was so happy with my flowers and received many compliments from guests. As I worked with other vendors (hair and makeup stylists, venue coordinators, bakeries, etc.) they all knew of Diane at Fat Cat Flowers and the wonderful work she did. I would highly recommend Fat Cat Flowers!

Diane is AMAZING, WONDERFUL and FANTASTIC!!! I truly can't say enough great things about Diane and her team. Diane was extremely organized and very easy to communicate with throughout the entire process which was especially important since my wedding was a destination wedding. One important item for me was staying on budget and Diane was extremely respectful of the budget while making the most of it! Diane was great about hearing my thoughts and ideas on wanting "edgy" and unique flowers with lots of greenery and textures and she brought all my ideas to life! In addition to flowers, I wanted to do lots of candles and Diane has a beautiful warehouse full of every type of candle you can imagine that you get to pick from. On the actual wedding day Diane was on time for the flower delivery and even came at the end of the night to pick up the items that were rented so we didn't have to worry about getting the rentals back to her. As to the flowers themselves they were BEAUTIFUL, perfect for the venue spaces and stayed healthy for days - I was even able to use them the next day as table decor for our going away brunch! I would HIGHLY recommend Diane and FAT CAT flowers!! Thanks so much Diane!

We feel so lucky that we got to work with Diane and the Fat Cat Flowers team. Diane is amazing in every way. She created the most beautiful bouquets and the florals in the ceremony and reception were breathtaking. She is talented, but also calm and easy to talk to, so it was very easy to discuss our vision with her. She is warm and inviting and truly one of the best people we worked with. We also gave her a lot of creative license and let her guide us, and the result was stunning. In particular, she had magnolia leaves on some of the table’s bouquets and our guests loved them. She has a calm presence and she's exceptionally talented. We will recommend her forever.

Diane was so wonderful to work with! This was a destination wedding for us, so it was difficult not being able to meet with a florist in person to discuss flower arrangements. We gave Diane a few images of what I had imagined for the florals for my wedding and she went above and beyond! The flowers were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted! Diane was also great in communicating pricing and sticking with our budget. We were so happy with Fat Cat Flowers! Highly recommend!!

Diane and crew did an amazing job on the wedding flowers for the reception and my bridal bouquet.

Super easy to work with and did a great job! Loved my flowers! Stayed within budget and came up with great ideas.

Diane and her team were amazing! When I first inquired about their services, I was hesitant because I was asked to have a phone conversation with Diane, and that couldn’t be booked for two to three weeks. I am SO glad I didn’t book another florist. When I spoke to Diane, she was so kind and warm, I just knew that she was the florist for me. We had a couple conversations about the look we were going for and who would need flowers, and Diane was always timely with her responses and updates to my invoice. The day of, Diane visited my room with an assistant to drop off our bouquets and even told me how to hold the bouquet to not obstruct my dress! (My brides maids and I said “pubes not boobs” for the rest of the night. The flowers she provided were beautiful, and exactly what I had asked for. The hotel where my wedding was even kept the arrangements up throughout the weekend. I cannot express how thrilled I was not only with the end product but the kind service I got from Fat Cat Flowers

Diane was wonderful! She kept in contact with us throughout the planning process. The bouquets and arrangements were gorgeous!!! I absolutely loved the chupah!! It was stunning! I am so happy with how everything turned out! I highly recommend Fat Cat!

I couldn't recommend a better florist! Diane is absolutely AMAZING and knows exactly what the hell she is doing!! When I met with her I wasn't totally sure of what I wanted or the style I was going for, but I told her what I was thinking and a little bit about myself and she was like, I got it. She showed me some picture and that was it! It was exactly want I wanted, but couldn't describe it. It's so easy to trust her, all her work is so beautiful and tailored to each Bride. Everything she did for me was gorgeous! My favorite being the arch that was the background to my ceremony, It was stunning! You can not go wrong with Fat Cat Flowers!!

A couple things to note: I was an out of town bride that loves flowers, but didn't have much time or energy to get really detailed on what to do about the flowers (we've all been there with something right?). I worked with Diane, sent her a couple photos of what I wanted and she performed beyond my expectations. After one or two phone calls to work out some details, I didn't have to worry about the flowers again. I showed up at my venue and the decorations and bouquets were amazing. I can't even remember how many compliments I got on the flowers. Thank you so very much!

I think there was a miscommunication on my bouquet because when it arrived, it wasn’t what I had envisioned. Diane was so kind and understanding though and rushed back to the shop and made me exactly what I wanted. She made it even more beautiful than I thought it could be.

Diane and her crew were awesome to work with. They made everything very easy and helped me tremendously. The flowers and other details exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Fat Cat Flowers without hesitation.

Diane and her team are 10 stars!! My mom talked to Diane almost weekly to get the idea of flowers I wanted. They were beautiful! I'm not one that cares about details with flowers but it's like she read my mind and knew exactly what I wanted. She also provided vases and other small details for my ceremony and reception and everything turned out beautifully.

Cannot recommend Diane/Fat Cat Flowers enough!!! Diane is SO talented and her work is gorgeous!!! She is very professional and does a great job!!!

Diane was absolutely amazing to work with. We gave her a budget and a rough vision of what we wanted, and she was able to give us floral arrangements that were better than I could have ever envisioned while staying within what we felt comfortable spending. We chose Fat Cat Flowers because Diane did a fantastic job with my sister's wedding last year; my sister and I have completely different taste, but she provided exactly what we both wanted for our weddings. I can't recommend her highly enough!

WOW WOW WOW! Diane was amazing to work with very laid back and relaxed and had every arrangement so perfect and blew away all of my expectations. Fat Cat Flowers made our special day so incredibly memorable I would recommend them over and over again, they truly went above and beyond to ensure that they incorporated all of my ideas and even included some intimate pieces from my family into my bouquet, which touched my heart more than anything. Thank you Diane and the staff at Fat Cat for making our special day so incredibly perfect!!!!

The flowers were beautiful but not exactly what I asked for.

Fat Cat Flowers provided the flowers for my New Orleans wedding on November 18,2017. They were very professional and made it very easy to work with. In addition, Diane is very organized,experienced, prompt, and has a good grasp on what the client's vision is for the wedding. When hiring any vendors for your wedding, it is best to choose people that are reputable because you will have less to stress. Shop no further! She is an amazing florist and will not disappoint.

Diane is such a pleasure to work with! My flowers were beautiful and I got many compliments on them. I showed Diane one picture and she took it from there. She made it very easy for us! I also needed our flowers after the wedding to be put into pottery. She made sure that we had enough vases, etc. to have all of the flowers in water post reception. Very helpful!!

Wow - Fat Cat Florist did it again! This is my second wedding with Fat Cat ,(Diane). The first wedding took my breath away when I saw all the flowers. Needless to say we wanted Fat Cat to handle our second wedding. Diane is so easy to work with in regards to meeting the desires of the bride and the parents. She is not over priced and her arrangements are over the top. I highly recommend Fat Cat if you want large beautiful arrangements that will not break your bank account. The church pews were elegantly done and all the bouquets were done beautifully. It is an understatement to say that they did a beautiful job. Thank you Diane, we have no regrets here!

I wish that reviewers could post pictures because my flowers were absolutely STUNNING. I'm not super into flowers, because I have awful allergies, so in our meetings with Diane I just kind of gave her a "feel" or "vibe" that we were going for. I wasn't super restrictive on the types of flowers that I wanted, as long as they fit; Diane had free creative liberty. I was NOT disappointed. I still can't believe how beautiful they were. I need to stress that I really am not remotely into flowers at all, and I was captivated by them all night. My ONLY grievance is that the small corsages that I ordered for the readers/gift bearers/family were way smaller than anticipated. It's possible that the single flower was all my budget would afford, but I wish I could have known that ahead of time. They just seemed disappointing compared to the rest of the bouquets. All in all, though, I was thrilled with our flower arrangements.

From the moment I contacted Diane at Fat Cats, she was extremely friendly and eager to work with me to meet my floral desires for my wedding. We exchanged a few phone calls and a few pinterest pins. I felt confident that she would deliver what I was hoping for. On the day of the wedding when I met Diane in person and she delivered the flowers I was awestruck. She exceeded my expectations and my bridal bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets were absolutely amazing. I got so many compliments on the bouquets and all the table decorations. She knocked it out of the park!!!

Diane was FANTASTIC! I had a destination wedding and she was so helpful along the way. we changed my entire wedding from an outdoor venue to indoor last minute due to a hurricane and y flowers were stunning!. I was so glad she had a vendor recommendations list on her website.

Diane was absolutely wonderful to work with! She is super creative even though she comes from a corporate background, her attention to detail and organizational skills were much appreciated as I was planning a destination wedding and most of our communications were over email. She was great about staying within our budget and did not try to upsell too much, which other florists I was in touch with did a bit too much of. I was able to meet her in person just once 10 weeks before the wedding to finalize the colors and flower choices. The arrangements turned out to be exactly what I was envisioning - soft and romantic. Absolutely loved working with Diane and her team and it played a huge role in our perfect day!

Diane at Fat Cat Flowers is a creative genius! I wanted color and creativity and she delivered in spades! We met with her and described what we were looking for and could not have asked for a better experience. My fiancé got out of the car, saw the flower design on the front of the building and said to me, “We have the right people on the job!” During our meeting, Diane had a variety of beautiful full color photos, example vases and an added plus of having experience with our wedding venue - which helped as we added flowers to our cake last minute. Diane's creativity and style are second to none! Her artistry and ability to fulfill your vision into a real life thing is mind-blowing. I loved my flowers so much, I did NOT throw my bouquet...it was way too pretty to give away!

I was referred to Diane by my venue, Broussards AND my wedding planner. I narrowed my options down to visiting 3 florists. My visit with Diane left no doubt that her experience, taste, sincere desire to create exactly what we individually would love and personality was exactly what we hoped for. We soon learned that it would be even more than we could have dreamed of. Diane was both excited and patient with my evolving inspiration and table floor plan. We had a great dialogue and not only created the flower bouquets, boutineers, and flower arrangements of my fantasy - but also my "dripping with candles" ambience I loved. Her collection of candles was unmatched and left us with many options. At her convenient warehouse, together with Diane's support, my husband I were able to, customize our candle arrangement (she LITERALLY has every candle type you can imagine so we were able to get the exact look and feeling we wanted!). Whether you are looking for gorgeous flowers or candles (or, in our case, both), I promise Diane will blow any expectations away. I truly can't say enough thank you's to Fat Cat Flowers for being such a gracious and talented partner <3

Diane is amazing!!!! We met with several florists in the city and after meeting with Diane we knew she was the one! :) She really understood what I was looking for and was able to work with us within our budget. She is extremely professional and such a lovely person! All of the flowers for the wedding were absolutely gorgeous and everything was exactly as I hoped and more!!

Diane was a joy to work with!! I was a clueless bride; Diane provided expert advice with impeccable taste! Thank you for bringing beauty to our special day!
