Forte Florals

to life and really helped me determine what that vision really was. She is so talented with all things florals and design. She absolutely transformed my venue with the most beautiful florals and completely blew my expectations out of the water! I didn't think I was really a big floral gal but she proved me wrong! She also really respects your budget. She will do everything she can to ensure you are getting everything you want within the budget you provided. If anything pushes you outside the budget, she'll work with you to provide other alternatives/recommendations to still bring that vision to life. Let's not forget the bouquets! Needless to say, I was obsessed and so were our guests! We received so many compliments on the florals. I highly recommend working with Kate - not only for her super kind and gentle demeanor - but also because she is an incredible florist! I can't recommend her enough!

on room. We are still getting compliments on how beautiful our flowers and tables were and it’s all because of Kate.

iration and wedding vision and she NAILED it! To say I was obsessed with my flowers is and understatement. They were truly breathtaking. Kate did this just by talking with me and seeing a few pictures. She is not just a florist she is a wedding floral designer and the difference is my florals were true works of art! My bridesmaids were also equally in love with their bouquets and many mentioned how they're not typically flower people but they truly loved my flowers. The flowers at the church were equally beautiful, and I couldn't help staring and looking around during our ceremony when I was supposed to be paying attention lol! The reception space with our tables and sweetheart table were exactly what I envisioned and so beautiful and romantic. Kate was also very responsive and adaptable when I realized I needed to change a few things last minute. I am so sad I only got to briefly meet her the morning of the wedding because she is such a sweetheart! She was also very reasonably priced which was amazing because we all know how expensive weddings are! Kate I can't thank you enough for bringing my wedding vision to life and creating my DREAM wedding bouquet. Your are so Incredibly talented, Ryan and I are so thankful we had the opportunity to work with you. Please future brides book Kate it will be the best decision you make for your wedding!

nt with florals! I am not well versed in the floral world, so I put my full trust in Kate to take my vision and run with it and that's what she did! Thank you so much!!

, it was her professionalism that made the experience beyond perfect. With the craziness of the industry and the ever-changing regulations, Kate was so kind, understanding, and flexible. Every time I spoke to her it kelt like I was chatting with a life-long friend. Kate is truly amazing, and we were blessed to work with her on our wedding day!

odate us when we had to seriously reduce out guest count, etc. due to the COVID pandemic. They kept a very active line of communication with us to make sure that they would be able to fufill our needs as we had to adjust everything. They not only matched our themes and tones, but exceeded our expectations with all the fine details they put into all the arrangements for the wedding. Solid company all around!

t a thing. It was also exceedingly reasonably priced, and I've already recommended her to two friends getting married soon. LOVE THEM!

ue’s Instagram (Wyndridge Farms) and knowing Kate has transformed this spot many times was so comforting. Though every time she transforms it, it’s something different and she made this backdrop ours. We talked through all the things - especially how to reuse our arrangements for different moments. Kate was there for every step of the way and worked with our other vendors like the dream team they were. http://fortefloralspa.com/geordan-justin-a-wyndridge-farm-wedding/

cuss my vision and she was super flexible and responsive with changes made later and questions I had. Everything looked so beautiful!

now-wife's vision and was able to bring it to life. When I first visited the reception area after she was done, I was blown away. Honestly, it was absolutely beautiful and we are still receiving compliments on the center pieces and table decorations. If you want a professional florist who can bring your vision to life, you need to go with Forte Florals. I wish I could give 10 stars.

nd helped us come up with a beautiful arrangement that fit our budget! I talked to her about what I was envisioning and she brought it to life. I couldn't thank her enough for the work she did!

the flower crown lost a few flowers before the ceremony. Accidents happen and they made the issue right after the wedding.

with me and helped me realize my vision. I really enjoyed working with her and I am honestly sad it's over! The flowers were absolutely stunning to say the least. I even accidently forgot to order a boutineer and Kate whipped one up in no time! I cannot recommend her enough.

let her do her thing! She is wonderful to work with, on time, and way to sweet! She absolutely loves her profession and it is reflective in her work! Our venue was STUNNING thanks to Kate and her magic touch.

large enough that you would not see my hands & an asymmetrical floral arrangement over a welded arbor, to name a few). Kate & her team not only promised this but executed to flawless perfection. I also felt that they really understood my vision and what I wanted. I cannot emphasize enough how absolutely stunning all of my florals were. I also think it’s worth mentioning that all my vendors on my big day approached me and asked who did my florals because of how spectacular & unique they were. I am SO happy! If you are a bride who is adventurous or “off beat” or even think your floral requests seem a bit crazy— you MUST use Forte.

g to be a "no flowers florist discussion", as we wanted a very minimal and urban atmosphere, with hanging geometric elements "floating" throughout our venue. Oh my, oh my: the space looked magical. I got to peek before getting ready when I stopped to drop something off, and everything was already looking so amazing! Oh and one last thing: my husband designed my bouquet with Kate, as a surprise for me on the wedding day (I got him his cufflinks) and it couldn't have been more perfect. All and all, Kate: your work will forever make that day and every detail around it unforgettable! :) Love, Fe & Pete

he style we were going for, and answered any questions I had along the way. Kate genuinely cared about me, my wedding day, and ensuring the flowers were absolute perfection- and they were! Kate went above and beyond anything I was envisioning for my wedding day. I couldn't imagine having a different florist- 10000% highly recommend!!!

ut Kate helped out so much! She is so warm and encouraging, and I knew from the first meeting that she would be able to help out. Kate was SO patient with me - I changed my mind MANY times. :) I wanted my florals to be different, but still classic and she totally nailed it - we had many compliments from guests. I also appreciated that Kate was honest with me when it came to budget, and she made great suggestions on where to spend my money for the biggest impact. Much appreciated. I LOVE looking at my florals in all of the wedding pictures! Thank you to Kate with Forte Florals!!

ook her immediately. We met at a coffee shop and she listened to my vision and sent us our proposal within 24 hours. Her prices are beyond reasonable and she was always so quick with emails when we changed our minds with certain details. When our flowers showed up to my house that morning of our wedding I cried. They were BEYOND my expectations and I received so many compliments about how beautiful and unique mine and my bridal parties bouquets were. Hiring Kate is a must, you will not be disappointed. She truly has a gift and loves what she does and that shows in her work.

ed it. I gave a 3 instead of a five due to the fact that there was a lot more pink in my arrangements than I was looking for, including the nosegays for my mothers being entirely pink instead of ivory. Also some flowers were a bit sad and wilted. The overall arrangements were lovely, and my centepieces were exactly what I was looking for. She also went out of her way to get a special circular alter display when that is what I most wanted.

t described each element better than I could have myself! When we met with Kate to discuss further I knew I made the right decision. On the wedding day Kate went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and it was! I would recommend her to every bride who dreams of a wedding with beautiful flowers and a passion behind it!

urned out. Our wedding flowers were simply stunning. From the bouquets to the reception tables, to our incredible show-stopper of a floral chandelier - everything was so much better than I could have ever dreamed. Beautiful flowers aside, Kate is so wonderful to work with. She treated me less like a client and more like a friend, which was so encouraging during our wedding planning process and made planning so much easier and enjoyable. She was patient, honest, and kind, and I truly trusted her knowledge and opinion. 5 stars doesn't do Forte Florals justice, they are worth so much more.

o life (which was a tough job considering how little I know about flowers). She was responsive to my questions throughout the whole process and always happy to meet or talk. I am so happy we chose to work with Kate. Her work was beautiful, and she made everything easy and stress free.

my many emails. I changed my mind about the flowers multiple times throughout the wedding planning process, and she took my many changes with ease and without difficulty. We were able to meet in person a few times, so we could figure out the exact look I wanted in my flowers. The day of the wedding, Forte Florals set up everything perfect - just how I wanted. I never expected to get so many compliments on my flowers alone, but I did! Kate was so patient in working with me, and I would definitely use her again if I have any florals needs. I would highly recommend! Thank you so much Kate for making my day perfect!

tions, and shapes. Would definitely recommend Forte Florals!

to something better than you could imagine.

ur style and vision for the wedding. The bridal and bridesmaid bouquets nearly took my breath away, they were so stunning, and we've gotten so many compliments on the greenery and candle decor at the reception. Kate came back at the end of the night to clean up the centerpieces and donate them. Amazing!

k at a reasonable price. Kate took SO much time to work with me - she honestly made me feel like I was her most important client (which I'm sure is how she makes everyone feel). Her communication and follow through was excellent. She took great care to ensure she understood just what my vision was and showed inventiveness and creativity to make sure we could nail the look I wanted without going over my budget. She is eternally patient and never made me feel rushed or that I was being a bother, even when I was probably getting a little annoying. :) My bouquet was breathtaking and I still think of it and smile. Thank you Kate!!

we were so happy to hire her for the job. All expectations were exceeded, and we couldn't have been happier with the entire process as well as the end result.

ion I had (which I think was about a million). I have never planned an event with florals before, and so I didn't know what I wanted, and I let Kate take the lead on creativity. She did awesome! The bridesmaids bouquets matched their dresses perfectly, and everything was beautiful. The only thing that went wrong was that a few of the groomsmen's bout flowers popped off, and my mom's wrist corsage flower came off, but everything was able to be pinned back together with no problem. I would highly recommend working with Kate, because she is genuinely a kind person and will listen to everything you want for your big day! Thank you Kate!!

. We painted our own wine bottles to use as centerpieces and she helped coordinate having them delivered to her and then brought them all to the venue on her own! And at the end of the night, she coordinated with us to have all of our flowers donated! All the guest loved the idea of donating them, and I'm so thankful that Kate knew exactly what to do. All of the bouquets were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined and she created my vision perfectly. Everything was simple and colorful, and it worked so incredibly well with the venue's decor. I couldn't have asked for a better florist to make my wedding perfect.

ot have been happier with my choice of florists! She is a pro!

f the day! My flowers were more than I could have imagined and they were AFFORDABLE! 10/10!

thing was exactly how I imagined. I was SO impressed with everything at Forte! I highly recommend them!

n person to go over my overall theme for the wedding and the flowers. She knew exactly what I wanted and made sure to get the flowers I needed (lavender for my March 31st wedding!) On the wedding day, she delivered all the flowers to the venue. The bouquets exceeded my expectation! They were beyond beautiful and had a natural and romantic look to them. They smelled gorgeous and held up wonderfully. We also had an eucalyptus garland for our sweetheart table and flower wreaths that went around lanterns for the centerpieces. These tied our theme together and I couldn't get over how perfect they all were. I cannot recommend Forte Florals enough!! If you want an understanding, budget friendly, talented and sweet florist in the Lancaster area, Forte Florals is the place!

ieces so I didn't have to worry about setting those up. I would highly recommend her to anyone! She's the best!

as looking for...which she did! I wanted something whimsical yet elegant for my bouquets and boutonnieres and she did just that! Wish I could leave photos on here to show just how gorgeous they were. They photographed beautifully and I was so so happy with them!! Would most definitely recommend Kate for your wedding florals!

work with so far! I am planning my wedding from California, but I'll be getting married in PA. I've been getting frustrated as some vendors who don't respond to emails promptly or when they do, are very vague and inefficient. I contacted several flower vendors before Kate and many weren't responsive or didn't seem as excited or had underlying attitudes or needed certain guidelines required to even have a conversation with them. Kate is opposite of that! She is extremely prompt in responding to her emails and when she does they are filled with positivity and warmth. She took the time to meet with me and my fiancée over breakfast when I was in town. She is a pleasure and seems so easy to work with. I'm more of a bride who has a set vision, so she is flexible but also offers advice. I sent her a few vision boards and she came back with an extremely detailed proposal within my budget and she totally got it! I don't think you could find a friendlier or more passionate florist. Customer service is really important to me, and Kate goes above and beyond in that area. You can tell she is really passionate and loves her job and I think that's the best thing you can ask for in a wedding vendor! I'll update this review in July :)

cted our style perfectly. We were so thrilled, and we would absolutely recommend Forte Florals to other couples in the area.

as one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding. From the beginning, she was extremely responsive to our e-mails and kept us on track (even when I was being a huge slacker!). I generally had a lot of trouble choosing wedding vendors because I am an artist, a perfectionist and even a bit of a control freak. When I want something done up to my own standards, I usually have to do it myself...so you can imagine that looking for a floral designer had the potential to be a really nerve-wracking process for me. When we finally got to meet Kate in person and talk about our vision for our flowers, all of my control-freak stress immediately melted away. We were so impressed and felt confident that Kate was the One Flower Fairy who could make our craziest dreams come true! In fact, I remember our first meeting with Kate as the day when the fun of wedding planning finally started!!! We had a lot of quirky ideas but weren't sure how to ask Kate to execute them. Kate completely understood what we were looking for and brought our vision to life with her own expertise and brilliant ideas! Also important: Kate was so understanding about our limited budget and was happy to work with what we had. I was so worried that our budget would be too small for the types of arrangements that we were dreaming of, but Kate found a way! She even went above and beyond to help us find a beautiful chuppah (a task that had been stressing me out to no end), and got her own crew together to help assemble it onsite just to save us a bit of extra money. Every bit counts when you are planning a wedding, so my husband and I were so touched that Kate was willing to go through all of that trouble for us. When the day of our wedding rolled along and I got to see the ballroom setup for the first time, I started to cry because it was so beautiful beyond what I could have possibly imagined! I had to do a double-take because I thought that I had accidentally intruded on a king and queen's wedding, or maybe a photoshoot for a magazine! We had asked for interesting textures like raspberries and mushrooms, which Kate didn't forget! She even found a super long-lasting plant that looked exactly like mushrooms, and imagine my surprise when my bouquet had REAL RASPBERRIES in it! She also made me a gorgeous flower crown that actually lasted for two days after the wedding. My hubby and I definitely made a few mistakes in planning our wedding, but when we think about our flowers there is literally not ONE thing that we would have wanted different. Everything that Kate touched turned to gold. Do yourself a favor and get in touch with her right away! I promise that you will be so happy if you do. Thank you so much, Kate, from the bottom of our hearts!!!!

e from her!

tly replicate my bridal bouquet! On the day of the wedding, Kate had taken care of all the details with my banquet manager so that I did not need to worry about a thing. She was very reasonably priced and works at staying within your budget. I would highly recommend Forte Florals!

n creating a beautiful and romantic day for my daughter. Thank you for your professionalism and kindness along the way. You do great work!

exactly what I wanted. She made my vision a reality and so much more. The florals made our wedding so beautiful!!! She exceeded my expectations. I can't thank you enough for such a great job. I HIGHLY recommend Forte Florals.
