Katharina is listed in the Terrace Room preferred vendor list, our wedding venue.
We set an initial appointment based on her incredible work and familiarity with our venue and its staff. I was still determining the vision during our initial meeting, as it was early in our planning process. With several Pinterest boards, I explained I wanted an elegant, timeless, and romantic ambiance; she immediately saw my vision. Katharine’s artistic expertise and knowledge of our venue made several suggestions that tied the vision together.
With her intensive knowledge of flowers and complementary styles based on venue interiors, she understands what’s suitable for a beautiful execution. Katharina is not only a florist expert. She’s an artist.
On the Wedding day, my vision came to life. Everything was stunning; the clean look displayed elegance and romantic ambiance with the tapered candles, and the execution was delivered immaculately. We are beyond grateful for her talent and collaboration in making our wedding the most enchanting day of our lives! Katharina, we can’t thank you enough; you’ll be highly recommended!
With love,
Melissa & Roque
Katharina is an incredibly talented and thoughtful florist. From our first conversation, where she asked me tons of questions about my wedding vision, the fabric of the dresses, and inspiration, I knew she would make our wedding floral vision come to life. Katharina was communicative and super easy to work with, if I ever need florals again, I will definitely work with her again!
We LOVED everything about working with Katharina. She was patient with our very specific vision of florals and colors for the wedding, and she did an absolutely perfect execution of what we were looking for when it came to our wedding florals. Our guests commented on-end about how much they loved the flowers at our wedding. THANK YOU so much, Katharina.
Katharina is freaking amazing!! I didn't really give her a lot - I just told her non-traditional flowers and my colors. She took my very disjointed vision and made it a reality. She was super communicative throughout the entire process as things were changing because of COVID. Everyone was raving at how amazing the flowers really transformed the space.
We chose Katharina Stuart Floral Art & Design for our wedding in September 2021. Katharina was an absolute joy to work with — she is so warm, friendly & knowledgeable. We had a general idea of the aesthetic we were trying to achieve as well as the color palette and she delivered! From bouquets and boutonnières to our centerpieces and floral arch, everything was truly stunning.
We feel so lucky to have found Katharina and can promise that if you’re looking for gorgeous floral arrangements bespoke to your tastes then she is your person. We trusted her from the beginning to create and fulfill our vision and I’m so happy we did. Our flowers were more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Thank you, Kat! We are so happy with everything you’ve done for us!
Katharina's flowers were the star of our wedding! We got married during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we wanted our flowers to convey a little joy in the photos we're sending to people who couldn't be there. Despite me having no idea what I wanted for flowers (we only had six weeks to plan the wedding) and no color scheme, Katharina managed to pull together a beautiful theme for us based on a few pictures I sent her from pinterest. She worked with us to make sure that the centerpieces, bouquet, and arch rental were within our budget. And when we unexpectedly had to move our wedding up 5 hours because of fire danger and power outages, Katharina didn't hesitate at all and was extremely flexible--she said she would deliver wherever whenever we needed within a certain radius. I can't recommend her highly enough! The flowers were beautiful and filled with textures, colors, and plants I'd never seen before. They also somehow matched my husband's tie.
Katharina did a wonderful job from the first time that we chatted to the day of our wedding! She really helped us with our vision for our wedding, and even when we had to change many elements of our wedding because of COVID, she followed up and executed flawlessly. We feel like she was one of the most important vendors that we ended up having on board, and we're so thankful to have had the chance to work with her!
The floral and table arrangement the Katharina put together for our wedding was phenomenal. Everyone was stunned by how it all came together. Katharina was wonderful to work with and took all our ideas and turned into it this amazing reality. Thank you so much!
Katharina is an amazing florist designer! She is so kind and easy to work with. I had one inspirational bouquet photo that I have loved for a long time and she made that bouquet but, even better than I could have imagined. The floral design was key in our wedding decor and Katharina did an excellent job in tying everything together. She definitely knows what she is doing and has an excellent eye for picking out florals and plants that compliment each other. She even made a couple paper flower hibiscus for my bouquet. I requested them but, they were not in season. They were so realistic and beautiful! All the flowers were perfect. She exceeded my exceptions. Even my guests were fighting over who would get to take a centerpiece arrangement home with them. Definitely, recommend Katharina for any and all floral needs!
We used Katharina for our wedding flowers, and she was able to take my vision and turn it into reality! It was hard for me to imagine exactly what I wanted our wedding flowers to look like, but Katharina looked at our inspiration photos, discussed colors and textures, dress styles, and bouquet shapes in detail. We provided the glassware for the tables and she skillfully chose what she wanted to use out of our sidewalk-sale collection of jars. Katharina also rented out a beautiful birch chuppah, wood rounds, and lanterns, which tied the simple beauty of the flowers all together when assembled. Seeing all the flowers as I had imagined them, all in once place, for our wedding, simply took my breath away! We are so pleased with our decision to hire Katharina for our wedding, and all of our guests commented on how beautiful everything looked. We even donated our flowers after the wedding so that other guests at the wedding hotel could enjoy them!
Omg my gosh, Katharina absolutely nailed our vision and vibe for our wedding. She is a talented florist with an eye for structure and color. She was also very responsive and professional in her communications. Highly recommend!
Kat doesn't need this review, because she's highly sought after and extremely busy. But I will chime in just to say how utterly complete she made our wedding day. Beautiful, of course, and JUST RIGHT in terms of my vision for the decor. My wine country pinks were perfect!
Katharina was simply amazing. She was by far one of our favorite vendors to work with. Katharina created gorgeous bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, and floral arrangements for our wedding ceremony at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden and wedding reception at The Terrace Room in Oakland in October. I spoke to Katharina twice over the phone in preparation for our wedding to discuss colors and style, and I immediately knew that she would create something beautiful for us. She is calm, detailed, organized, and so talented. She listened to what we were looking for and asked detailed questions in our meetings to help me understand the style we were aiming for, too. Her prices also felt very reasonable compared to other Bay Area wedding florists. We would highly recommend Katharina as a wedding florist. She immediately put me at ease and I knew that we would not have to worry about anything when it came to the flowers for our wedding. My husband and I are grateful for the beauty she created for us, and cannot recommend her enough!
Katharina did all the floral arrangements for our wedding on Friday, April 6th. She was the most professional and sweet of all of our vendors. After a week of beautiful, warm weather, it was pouring rain on our wedding day and we had to move things inside. Katharina saved the day by lending us her arch which she decorated with flowers and we did our ceremony under. My family could not stop raving about how wonderful she is and the flowers were absolutely perfect. I look forward to working with Katharina more in the future and hope to hire her for my sister's upcoming wedding next year as well.
Ms. Stuart is a real artist. When my mother and I went to her home to meet her we knew immediately that we had to use her. I gave her free rein over the design as I trusted her to design something with her expert taste more than I trust my own, she is after all the professional. When the guidance I gave her was limited to "bright, vibrant, summer colors," she seemed surprised at first, but then she was pleased. I knew I could trust her to follow her vision and I am so glad I did. She made us the most amazing arrangements. I know we made the right choice. She really made the most of the floral design given our unique venue and I am so so pleased. If I ever have the need of a professional event florist again she will absolutely be my #1 pick.
Katharina Stuart made the flower arrangements for our September wedding and we could not have been more pleased. The bouquets were stunning, the centerpieces were exactly what we had asked for, and she also created these beautiful standing alter arrangements which perfectly framed our ceremony. Katharina was very easy to work with, listened to all of our ideas, and then put those ideas into motion with her arrangements. She is a true artist!
Katharina has a unique knowledge of flowers as she studied the art of floral and is not just a "florist". Our florals were so beautiful, I was very pleased with the finished product. Florals are indeed expensive and Katharina is on the more pricier side, but her product does not disappoint.
If you are still looking for a wedding florist, look no further. Katharina was my FAVORITE wedding vendor to work with. Not only does she do beautiful, flawless floral arrangements, but she can take your random ideas and pictures and turn them into artwork that is more amazing than you could have ever imagined. This is exactly how I felt when I saw my bouquet and centerpieces the day of my wedding. I almost cried. I never expected them to be that gorgeous. On top of being an amazing artist, she is all extremely kind, generously, and affordable. She has a great spirit and you instantly feel comfortable with her. She was flexible and willing to work with my budget. I met florist who were going to charge me 3x what she charged for work that was not even half as beautiful. She gave me great advice on my decorations and even helped me a week before the wedding decide on my linen color. I highly recommend you stop searching for a florist and give Katharina a call!
Katharina was my favorite vendor to work with in my wedding planning experience. She was extremely responsive, easy to get along with and amazingly talented. She created the overall mood and ambience of our event and we could not be more pleased. The arrangements and décor were so elegant and even more beautiful than I could have imagined. In the weeks following the wedding I received the most compliments on the flowers, and working with her made all the difference. Katharina herself is thoughtful, creative and will work within any budget. You will not be disappointed in hiring her and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a florist!
My husband and I recently got married and had the honor of having our flowers done by Katharina. I was an “out of town” bride planning my wedding from afar and I found Katharina online. She was very easy to contact and very flexible with scheduling appointments and phone calls. When I met her I instantly liked her because I felt she really listened to my requests and what I wanted for my overall vision. I had originally planned to have a family friend (who also happens to be a florist) do the flowers for our wedding, but due to the timing and birth of their second daughter, I ended up needing to hire a florist. Because I had not budgeted for this change, I had a fairly meager budget to work with. Katharina was very understanding of my financial restrictions and gave me a very detailed quote with each element line-itemed so that I could see where my money would go. She worked with me to get the elements that I really wanted and trim away what I didn’t need. In the end, my friend ended up doing some smaller floral elements to compliment what I was able to pay Katharina to do and it all turned out beautifully.
Katharina is very knowledgeable about different flower varieties and was very helpful in making suggestions that really complimented the flowers I already knew I wanted. Being the Type-A personality that I am, I really wanted to see what my vases and centerpieces would look like beforehand. Thankfully Katharina was very patient with me and put together a sample centerpiece to photograph and send to me as well as photos of the vases. When I wasn’t satisfied with the way she had grouped the flowers, she redid the entire centerpiece and sent new photos to make sure she had it right. Katharina also came through for me by renting me a beautiful birdcage at the last minute to be used for cards on my gift table. She just happened to have the perfect one! Overall she was very easy to work with despite the fact that we only met once in person. The day of my wedding she was on time and all of the flowers and arrangements looked amazing. I received lots of compliments from my friends and family about the unique vases and flower groupings. I was very pleased with the finished product and would definitely recommend Katharina to any bride.
Katharina was wonderful to work with. The flower arrangements were beautiful, and she added the perfect details to match my vision. She worked with me to create everything I wanted within my budget. We had a last minute change with our centerpieces, and she was flexible and creative in adapting to the situation. Will definitely come back to her for events in the future.
Kat is amazing to work with, super easy to communicate with and she just has a knack for simple beauty and elegance that is fresh and classic without being stuffy or wedding-like. The arrangements she did were perfect and sweet and the decor in the room was like nothing I had ever seen.
