Flowers That Tell a Story
Based in Berlin, NJ, Layers Of Love is a floral design company that serves weddings in the Tri-State Area and further afield. As a lifetime lover of all things floral, owner Katie Whener is passionate about crafting custom arrangements that bring her clients’ wishes to life. Inspired by the romantic chemistry that you and your partner share, she aims to create stunning floral decor that complements your big day’s aesthetic. Katie discovered her appreciation for blooms during her childhood. She would spend hours in her grandmother’s garden admiring the beauty and splendor of her floral arrangements. Guided by the desire to create, she earned a BFA in Printmaking and Painting from Tyler School of Art at Temple University. This experience allowed her to develop the artistic skills that she uses today. She eventually directed her talents to the world of wedding floristry and she hasn’t looked back since. Layers Of Love uses fresh, top-quality flowers that are seasonal and locally grown. A variety of arrangement types is on offer, including bouquets, centerpieces, corsages, flower crowns, and boutonnieres. The business serves a limited number of events per year, ensuring that each client receives a truly personalized service.

I got married in a restaurant event space. It was pretty much a blank industrial-vibe space where we were able to decorate it as we wished. Layers of Lovely transformed our venue into the vision I had for an elegant, romantic, beautiful, chic...
vibe. My bouquet was perfect, it was a good size and not so big that it looked unbalanced, as so many of them do today.
My guests kept commenting on the beautiful flowers. Our venue was a bit challenging to work with and I was very nervous when the big day came. I couldn't believe how well everything came together with the florals, cake, lounge furniture, and other decor all complementing each other so well. It just made my day so special. Layers of Lovely also provided beautiful curtains accented by gorgeous greenery and roses to screen off a busy highway...People thought the venue had those curtains up all the time which just shows how seamlessly they incorporated that element into the overall design. It was just perfect.
During my first conversation with Katie- I knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding. With the vague descriptions I gave, she understood my vision and what I was going for perfectly in the initial quote/vision board she provided.
Throughou...
t the process, Katie was super easy to work with and flexible with any changes I requested. She was even able to accommodate a few additions I had made only a couple weeks before the big day.
My only "complaint" is that sometimes response time is a bit slow, but keep in mind Katie has a small team and she most definitely will get back to you within a few days.
Overall, the flowers for our wedding were STUNNING!! Some of them (dahlias) were grown by Katie herself. Everything turned out better than I could have ever imagined, and very reasonably priced. I would argue that Katie did just as good work as some vendors that wanted to charge me $10K+ for similar scale of arrangements, if not 100x better! So happy we chose Layers of Lovely and can't wait to get my pressed bouquet back so I can continue to enjoy her work for years to come (yes- she also offers bouquet preservation!)
We booked with Layers of Lovely in Feb 2021 for my 10/7/2022 wedding. We didn’t have a huge floral budget but Katie worked with us from the beginning. She created a beautiful vision board and estimate. Since then I have come to her with many ch...
anges and switches- including changing from a venue to a backyard wedding and she was so accommodating. Before the wedding she reached out to confirm the time to drop things off and even dropped off the men’s flowers to a separate location nearby. Katie and her team went above and beyond. All of the bouquets were stunning and she used such a cool array of flowers. We were also blown away by our sweetheart table arrangement. We received so many compliments- with one aunt even saying that we had the nicest boutonnières she has ever seen at a wedding!! I chose to do floral preservation with Layers Of Lovely as well and I am so excited! I highly recommend Layers of Lovely to anyone still looking for a florist.
We could not have been happier with Katie's floral expertise! I absolutely loved the pictures I saw showcased. The floral arrangements all seemed so unique and personal! Another thing that led us to the decision of working with Layers of Lovely...
is that when I told her what we were looking for, she sent back an exact quote (other florists sent back a price range) so we knew exactly what to expect. Even before booking, she had us fill out a questionairre of what we wanted (colors, preferences, etc) and sent back a vision board complete with pictures and prices so we could envision what our wedding day would look like!
The bouquets were all gorgeous, the boutonnieres were unique, and the ceremony and reception floral arrangements were better than I could have ever imagined. Would definitely recommend Layers of Lovely!
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Katie of Layers of Lovely Design! She and her team did a outstanding job on the flowers for our wedding! The pieces she put together were the most gorgeous things I’ve ever seen and I can’t stop going ba...
ck and staring at the pictures! Her work is amazing and she is a dream wedding vendor!

Thank you so much, Jackie! You were a dream to work with as well!
All I can say is WOW! Katie was an absolute joy to work with and there are no words to describe the beautiful assortment of flowers she provided for my spooky Halloween wedding. I know I was probably one of a BUNCH of weddings she had to plan f...
or but her flower choice and attention to detail for my venue made me think I was the only bride she had on her to-do list. I HIGHLY recommend Layers of Lovely. I would choose her a million times over again.

Katie was one of the first vendors I booked after finding my venue. From the moment she sent my floral proposal (which had so much detail it was amazing) I was certain I wanted her for my wedding. She was such a easy person to work with and was...

My love for flowers and design started at a young age spending countless hours in what my grandmother referred to as her english garden, but was more like a wild meadow if you ask me. I loved running around watching the flowers bloom from season to season and use that knowledge when designing. I draw my inspiration not only from the season and the venue, but from my unique clients. The are our greatest inspiration after all. In order to better service my clients I have a large inventory of rentals available in order to tell their unique love story. Arches, candles, vases–we have it all!
