I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Kato and the incredible work they did for our wedding. I went into the process with just a few inspiration photos and a general visio...
n, and they completely exceeded every expectation I had.
Throughout the planning process, everything was so thoughtful, organized, and detailed. I was provided with multiple beautifully put-together PDFs and design plans that made it so easy to visualize everything ahead of time and feel confident in every decision.
But nothing could have prepared me for seeing it all come to life on the wedding day. I was absolutely blown away. Every arrangement, every detail, every floral moment was beyond beautiful and felt like the perfect reflection of what I had imagined — honestly even better.
Their creativity, professionalism, communication, and talent are unmatched. I am so grateful for everything they did and would recommend them to absolutely anyone looking for a florist who will truly make your vision come alive.

esigned and was the exact vision we wanted. The moment I saw the ceremony arch and reception dinner setup in person. It genuinely took my breath away and made me cry. The arch was beyond anything I had pictured: lush, romantic, and so beautifully arranged. like stepping into a dream. Standing there and seeing it all come together in that quiet moment before everything began was the best moment. We can't thank Kato enough!

Maria Kato is the best in the business!! Kato Floral Designs came highly recommended by my coordinator, and was one of the first vendors we reached out to. Once I started following...
Kato on instagram and seeing their work, I knew they would be able to execute my vision perfectly. I was able to work with the Kato team on identifying what would work best in my venue, and one advantage of working with them is that they are very familiar with all the venues around Savannah. They were very patient with me and spent a lot of time helping me hone in on exactly what I wanted. Their team is extremely professional and my bridal bouquet and reception flowers turned out much better than I even imagined. I would 100% recommend Kato to anybody getting married in the Savannah area.

on our large flower-heavy wedding! Layanvi was our designer and she BLEW us out of the water with not only her designs, but the way the proposals were put together, her knowledge of the florals, and her professionalism. I wish I could replay my wedding day 100 times just to take in every little bit of the florals!! They were EXACTLY what I wanted and more stunning than I ever could have imagined! I never wanted to put my bouquet down because it was so perfect, and every other part of the florals were equally as stunning. I would absolutely recommend this vendor to other couples!

As the mother of the bride, I had the joy of working closely with Raven and Maria throughout the planning process, and I cannot say enough about how extraordinary the florals were ...
for my daughter’s wedding. Every detail was beyond beautiful and truly unforgettable.
The ceremony was graced with two magnificent urns overflowing with white roses and delicate ranunculus, creating the most elegant backdrop for the vows. It was breathtaking and set exactly the tone we had hoped for.
The reception design was nothing short of magical. The tables were adorned with low compote florals, perfectly styled to complement the space. Gold candlesticks of varying heights, each with glass globes over white candles, cast the most romantic glow throughout the room. The addition of crystal votive holders and Monet stem holders with floating candles layered even more light and sparkle — it was absolutely enchanting.
Our guests could not stop commenting on how stunning the room looked, and it was all thanks to Kato’s artistry, vision, and attention to detail. Working with Kato Floral Designs was an absolute pleasure, and the end result exceeded every expectation.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kato Floral Designs to anyone planning a wedding or special event — their work is truly exceptional.

through the day of the wedding. Layanvi created an extensive vision board to help us visualize what our bouquets, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces would look like. She has worked with our coordinator (Tiffany from Absolutely Chic Events – the best!) and has done florals at our venue (Georgia State Railroad Museum – highly recommend), which eased our nerves and allowed us to truly enjoy how beautiful everything was. Thank you SO much.

If you’re looking for a florist who listens, cares, and delivers breathtaking results, this is the one!

When w...
e first met with Krystal, I asked for MAGICAL and boy did we get MAGICAL!
Every single person I spoke to on the day of the wedding commented on how beautiful the flowers were....every one!
It was beyond what we could have imagined, but more than that, you and your team were amazing and kind to work with. We had such a high level of confidence in the execution of the day after we met at the hotel in February...that I didn't give it a single thought...until I walked into the ballroom on the wedding day and was just in awe.....
I WILL be posting on all of your social media content once you start to post Esther Griffin's images (they are over the TOP) and will be singing the praises of Kato for a very long time.....
Thanks again for making our vision come to life!

Kato Florals were great to work with for my wedding day. I found the floral decision making to be the hardest part of wedding planning. Molly Rose was so communicative as we went b...
ack and forth on my contract with design ideas, etc. She had so much great insight and helped me create the perfect look for my venue. I truly appreciated all of the time she took to edit the contract and talk through different ideas on the phone with me.
On our wedding day, my bouquets, unfortunately, did not arrive as decided upon. In addition, we were missing the florals for the details photos (they were brought later on). That's the only reason I cannot give the full 5 stars. They took the bouquet back and worked hard to fix it so that it fit the design in my contract. Raven deserves the biggest shoutout. She was so kind in making sure that everything fit my vision and for that, I am SO thankful. It absolutely all worked out (Raven - MVP) and I 100% do recommend Kato Florals. Additionally, you cannot beat the price point.

They were completely transparent with their pricing and did everything they could to stay within our budget. They even offered to incorporate the leftover greenery from our floral arrangements into other aspects of our decor such as our centerpieces free of charge. We would highly recommend Kato Floral Design to anyone in need of a florist that is quick, resourceful, fair, and creative while on a budget.

Imagine my absolute surprise when the flowers somehow turned out BETTER and MORE BEAUTIFUL than I ever could have imagined. My bouquet had sunflowers (my favorite) mixed with the most beautiful fall flowers I have ever seen.
My reception venue was DREAMY. I had 1 long table (Harry Potter sort of styled) with the most amazing candles and flowers in the middle. It was so beautiful and so perfect, I wanted to cry.
The staff is amazing and so friendly! The women who delivered the flowers to my hotel room were so lovely and charming! They made sure I knew how beautiful everything was looking and eliminated any nerves I had about everything looking beautiful!
5/5 Stars. If I could give them more I would. Thank you for making the most magical wedding happen. The flowers made every photo BEAUTIFUL!

Kato send my daughter a proposal with pictures and helped her select flowers that fulfilled her dreams. They did an exceptional job.
The day of the wedding, we realized we forgot two significant people who should have each had a boutonniere. Our Wedding Planner quickly fielded a call to Kato and they delivered the extra two boutonnieres without complaint.
The flowers crowned a beautiful day and we can't recommend Kato Floral without any hesitations!

I am so grateful. They made my wedding dreams come true. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you put in to create the most magical wedding for my husband and I. To top things off, all of our guests were equally as blown away!

ire team at Kato Floral Designs were so incredible throughout our wedding planning process, and we cannot thank you enough for bringing our wedding floral dreams to life! The florals and décor at our wedding were truly breathtaking, and above and beyond what we could have even dreamed of.
We have had countless guests tell us how impressed they were by the gorgeous flowers and décor set up by the team - and my husband and I were BEYOND impressed too! I was lost during the early stages of planning, not knowing how to begin deciding what I envisioned - and Krystal was so helpful walking me through the options and coming up with amazing suggestions that practically read my mind! Her recommendations were absolutely perfect. Both our planner (SYE) and wedding venue (The Landings) highly recommended working with Kato Floral Designs, and we quickly learned why - they are so talented, organized and thoughtful, which makes the entire team so amazing to work with! Not to mention, the flowers were absolutely STUNNING! We cannot say enough great things about Maria, Krystal and Kato Floral Designs. Thank you for making our wedding so beautiful and elegant!
