Catherine's Gardens

I've known numerous people who had wedding flowers from catherines gardens, so I felt confident with my choice and that they could be trusted. The flowers and bouquets were all beautiful, but I do feel that my order was lost or thrown together last minute because there were serveral errors that I noticed. The flower choices that I picked for the bouquets werent exactly the same, the bridesmaids bouquets were smaller then I was told they would be, and they also didn'y have any lillies like I was told they would only my bouquet had the lillies, the pearls were different colors then I requested in the hair flowers as well as bouquets. Also, the color of the wrapping on the bouquets did not match the color I chose of the bridesmaids dresses at all. Although no one else noticed these errors and the flowers did not turn out like I imagine, I just ignored it and enjoyed myself. But if you are a bridezilla and want things particular I'm not sure if Catherines is the right choice for you.

My flowers were perfect! At my appointment Julie was very helpful and very professional. She listened to everything I wanted and was great even when I made changes. When the flowers arrived at my house they were stunning! I could not have imagined them to look better. The flowers at the church and reception hall were also amazing. I would recommend everyone go to Catherine's Gardens for their flowers. Great service and wonderful product.

Catherine's Gardens is the best wedding florist in the area. Julie is awesome and really listens to what you want for your special event and creates something that is even better than you originally imagined. They have great service, quality, and value. I received so many positive remarks about my wedding bouquet and I would definitely recommend this business for anyone needing flowers for any occasion. I couldn't be more pleased!!

All the flowers were gorgeous, and they were a pleasure to work with.

Julie from Catherine's Gardens was amazing! She took my flower ideas and made wonderful arrangements for everyone. I especially loved the bouquets she made for me and my bridesmaids, they were absolutely beautiful and looked great in the pictures. I feel that I got a lot for a great price.

To all brides. DO NOT USE THIS FLORIST!!! First thing she totally missed an appointment with me amd my mother. My flowers arrived at my home the day of the wedding with the wrong ribbon and my moms flowers were just ugly. Julie did fix that problem and then they were beautiful. I thought that would be the end of it. Julie suggested rings of flowers to hand on the chairs at my outside ceremony. The flowers were still being hung on my chairs when my guests arrived and they were falling apart and falling to the ground during the whole ceremony. They were not pretty either. My husband -to- be did not have a pin for his flower and my father-in-law had to give his up because she didn't send any extra pins with her assistant. My grandmother never got her flower and that wasn't what I ordered either. The reception flowers didn't look a thing like I ordered. They looked like they were just shoved in vases and were all crooked on the tables. I had taken her a photo of the flowers I did want off her own website when I ordered them. I could have done better with the arrangements and believe me that's not saying much. They were not professional. The thing that upset me the most was the flowers for the wedding cake. It looked like someone was playing darts and threw the flowers at the cake. I haven't seen my photos yet. I hope my photographer got a photo of my cake without the flowers, that's how bad they were. When my mother called her after the wedding she was not nice! My wedding was on a Saturday and the reception flowers were dead by Monday. The flowers from the reception were brought to her and when my mother walkied into her shop she turned her head and wouldn't even talk to her. She never called either to respond to the mistakes she had made. She got her money and that's all she wanted. I have never written a review before but I know how important my wedding day was and how much planning goes into it and how stressful things get. You do not need the headache of Catherine's Gardens.

I really liked my bouquet and my girls' bouquets. I really liked my ceremony decor and my decor for my cake. I feel my centerpieces could have been of higher quality and I was also very disappointed with my centerpiece for my placecard table. I wanted a manzanita tree and I was told it would be like 4 feet tall, but it was barely 2 ft. Once you book with her, she rarely answers emails and when she did you didn't know if it was her assistant or actually her. She told me she was going to be the one setting up and she wasn't. She also did the same with my two other friends' weddings. I wonder if the finishing product would have looked different for the guest table centerpieces had she been there. If you're on a budget she's definitely the way to go, but be prepared for sucky responsiveness.

Julie was great to work with. She was the first florist we visited and the only one who had a reasonable budget for us. She listened to what we wanted and came up with ideas that fit in perfectly. We had some flowers delivered to our hotel for the pictures before the ceremony and the rest delivered to our reception. Everything looked great! They even delivered the rehearsal dinner flowers free of delivery charge!

My experience with Catherine's Garden has been a complete nightmare. She promised me the world and delivered crap. It started as soon as she got my money. She would ignore my emails in the weeks before my wedding. She didn't update my file as I emailed her changes. Then when the flowers showed up before my portraits they were ALL WRONG - wrong flowers, wrong colors!!! I had to accept them or have nothing for my wedding day. When I asked her about that the next day she claimed that some of the flowers were wilted and they took it upon themselves to replace them with stuff they thought would match - without even consulting me. I was supposed to have all the same flowers for me, the girls and the reception. NOT THE CASE AT ALL. The reception was a bunch cheap looking flowers, none of the roses or peonies like they were supposed to have. Not to mention that the delivery person was a slob and spilled water all over the reception hall floor and left it for someone else to clean up. I had also ordered a cake topper. They literally brought me a bunch of odds and ends stems that looked like a handful of weeds that either we or the bakery was supposed to assemble on the cake. It was a complete DISASTER!!! Brides for your sake don't use Catherine's Garden. To make matters worse I emailed her as soon as I woke up the day after the wedding to tell her that I was horrified with her service. She refused to admit she made major mistakes. After going back and forth I eventually called my credit card company to put a dispute on the card. She is completely unprofessional and as far as I am concerned she is a con artist. Don't book them no matter how good of a "deal" you think you are getting. They ruined the vision I had for my wedding day.

When we booked with Catherine's Gardens, the owner Julie was very helpful and accommodating. She had given us a really good price so we were very excited. After the initial meeting we were really happy, but a few months later as our wedding got closer and I wanted to make some changes our experience completely changed. I had been wanting to add some flowers so I called multiple times but never received a response. My calls were never returned, even after waiting multiple weeks. As the wedding was getting really close, and the contract stated that changes made less than a month before the wedding would have an additional cost, I called and finally got a hold of a manager (but still not the owner that I had worked with and knew what I was envisioning for my wedding). I was so stressed out with the shop that my fiancé tried to discuss some of the things with them and the manager refused to even talk to him. She said she would only discuss things with me because I was the only one they put on the contract even though he had come to the initial consultation with me. I emailed the owner directly thinking that maybe for some reason she did not get the messages. She emailed me back saying that they were busy and that she didn't have time but I could talk to somebody else in the shop or find another florist. She was not apologetic at all for the way that I had been treated. Come my wedding day, the flowers were beautiful but they were not the same as what we had discussed. Both types of centerpieces were missing the orchids, and they would have been much better had she provided them the way that it was agreed on. The price was good and the flowers were pretty but it was absolutely not worth everything that this shop put us through. The last couple of weeks before the wedding are stressful enough trying to finalize everything without having to deal with a rude vendor that won't return your calls.

My initial impression of Catherine's Garden was beautiful flowers at a great price. As time went on, it became very difficult to actually speak with Julie (the florist) unless you made an appointment. The day of the wedding I was not impressed with them at all! The girl arrived late to the church and even later to the reception hall where my baker waited an hour and a half. They painted my red callalillies and left the pollen on the Gloriosa Lilly which got all over me and my dress. The painted callalillies started peeling before the ceremony! The cake topper that my baker waited an hour and a half for was a measly 3 flowers and was missing the flowers for the lower tiers. My baker made me aware that she came with more but half of them were dead or wilting. I had been so confident in Julie at Catherine's Garden, but my experience has turned me completely sore. I would not recommend this florist to anyone who wants their flowers to last and their vendor to be on time.

Catherine's Gardens does a beautiful job on flowers! They are very easy to work with and the value is amazing. I knew nothing about flowers except for what color I wanted and the girl sat down with me and showed me pictures of flowers in the color family I wanted, explained to me which flowers look good together, and helped me design all of the bouquets and center pieces. On my wedding day I was so excited to see that everything was EXACTLY how I had imagined and I LOVED the final product. We got so many compliments on the flowers, they were absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend Catherine's Gardens for beautiful, reasonably priced, awesome flowers!

Our flowers were AMAZING!
I was SO pleased with them, and their prices were also amazing! I was so happy with everything from them! I will definately be using them in the future!!

Catherine's Gardens did such a phenomenal job at my wedding! The flowers turned out gorgeous, centerpiece flowers were perfect, ceremony decor was beautiful, and they put together a candy table for me that looked incredible and was such a huge hit with guests! Thank you so much for making our wedding day absolutely beautiful!!

Everything was beautiful, and way above and beyond what I expected. Both if the quality of everything, and in the service. Julie was fantastic to work with. I would highly recommend Catherine's Gardens to anyone.

Overall, flowers are a hard thing to pick and decide for your wedding day. Its like a crap shoot because you picture things in your head, and randomly picking out parts of stuff here and never get to see the final product until the wedding day. My first problem with Catherine Gardens almost gave me a heartattack. I went in around march 2010 and put down my deposit for my flowers, and picked everything out. Julie was very nice and professional that day, however my second run in with her I have to say was SO DISAPPOINTING that I wanted to walk away with my business. Around Aug (6 months later) we added an extra groomsman and bridsmaid to the party, so I called to let them know my flower number would be changing. They informed me that there was NO RECORD of my wedding, NO RECORD of my check deposit, and I wasnt booked at all. I went into a panic, and yet they were so not understanding of my worries. I mean if I didnt add onto my bridal party, I would have never caught YOUR MISTAKE until it was maybe a week or 2 before my wedding for me to confirm! Finally after a day or so it was all magically found! So I also asked to then remeet with her to go over the flowers we picked due to them loosing my info - I now needed to double check it all. During this visit Julie was so frustrated and made me feel so uncomfortable at this appt. I was semi changing some stuff around - simple stuff (my colors changed SLIGHLY since I met with her in March so i wanted to tweak the shades of what I was going with). She was making me feel so unwanted there and getting so frustrated with my decision making, but I really wanted to say to her, Well if you didnt screw this up, we wouldnt even be here for this appt. This is why I am giving 1 star from professionalism because you would like the OWNER would have the best business sense, its really her workers that bring that aspect in.
Day of our wedding: My two bridal bouquets arrived at my house where I was getting ready. I had two because our wedding was in Jan and incase it was below a certain temp I still wanted to have a bouquet for outdoor flowers, and not risk my more expensive one to get wilted and browned from the cold. Luckily we had a 50 something degree day so all flowers were safe. However I liked my $20 prop bouquet better than my $120 traditional one. My wedding was all WINTER WONDERLAND THEMED (silvers, sparkles, greys and blues). My bouquet had these yellow balls with green leaves in them. It looked very summerish for what my wedding was and I was not happy at all. I called Julie and no problem my bridesmaids were able to bring it back, and she switched it out. It was very nice of her to do so and I am so thankful, altho during my consult I told her everything about my wedding so why didnt she mention by the way this is going to look way out of place or is YELLOW when she knew all my colors. Oh well no big deal. The arrangement was to have all of the flowers for wedding party at the church by 1. 1:30 rolls around and I had to call them to figure out why they were running late, apparently the groomens flowers had those yellow balls in them too and she needed to switch all of those out thankfully, however I dont understand why they couldnt pick up the phone to inform any one of us that they would be over a half hour late and the reason. I would have and did completely understand, but the last thing any bride wants to do on their wedding day is HUNT DOWN VENDORS! I was semi let down with my girls bouquets. Not really what I was picturing for them, and they looked smaller than what I thought we agreed upon and kinda flimsy looking i suppose. I was hoping for more of a statement seeing how these were the only color and flowers in all of the wedding decor. The guys flowers turned out nice, and I have to say my final fixed bouquet was gorgeous. She is definitely cheaper than anyone around in the area, and if you watch out she does offer good coupons/deals at times, but I have to agree with a previous feedback from on here about her, if you are a anal bridezilla type bride (I kind of was a particular one) this may not be the best choice for you. Flowers are something you dont want to go wrong. My recommendation in the area if you have a little bit more to spend is Zuzu petals - and they even have a lot more to realistically show you in person.

Catherine's Garden was awesome to work with! We were really happy with how everything turned out. They came up with great ideas and were very professional. Everything was complemented on, we were very pleased!

Catherine's Gardens has always provided me with both beautiful flowers and excellent service!!! I have used this business since they opened and have always been extremely happy with them! Whether I've needed an elaborate bouquet or a simple arrangement; they have always exceeded my expectations! Julie is an amazing florist! She is sweet and knowledgeable and really LISTENS to what you want to create the bouquet that you envision! I love the way she is so innovative as so many florists only do the cookie-cutter round bouquets. Julie can do traditional but can also make unique and modern bouquets with different shape and lots of creativity. Gorgeous flowers at very reasonable prices are what I've always received and the flowers really last as I have never had anything wilt before it's time. I have been so happy with their work over the years that I had Julie create a HUGE silk arrangement for my kitchen island that I love to look at every day! Everything has always been ready at the specified time and even when I've needed something last minute they have always come through for me. Catherine's Gardens goes above and beyond for their customers and I would recommend them highly to everyone!!!

am forever grateful to the owner of Catherine's Gardens, Julie, and her lovely staff for the work they did on my 10/2/10 wedding.

Everything was so beautiful and perfect. Unlike other florists, Julie didn't try to push ideas on me, but really listened to what I had envisioned, and helped me find the best way to make it happen. And boy, did it happen!! My flowers were beyond beautiful. My bouquet, my girl's, the guys, the centerpieces... everything was just perfect.

On the wedding day, the staff was on time and super helpful. They really went above and beyond, especially on the wedding day, to make sure that I was happy and taken care of. (Even as far as to save my bridesmaid from blisters by offering her a Band-Aid!)

If anyone ever asks me where to go for flowers for ANY occasion, I would send them to Catherine's Gardens without a moment of hesitation. Honestly -- they're the best. Just really, really, great people to work with from the top down.

They were professional throughout the whole process and arrived on time. Everything was very pretty and exactly what I had asked for.

Julie is great to work with and she really knows her flowers. We went into the shop not really knowing what we wanted for our wedding, but Julie was able to help us with colors and types of flowers. Seeing as we are not extremely keen on flowers, this was a definite plus for us and something we needed in our vendor. The flowers were absolutely beautiful!

On the downside, the flowers were about an hour late and they didn't bring the boutonnieres with the rest of the flowers. We did change the prep location once (which probably caused the confusion), but they do require that everything is submitted in writing once you get closer to the wedding day, which I had done so there shouldn't have been any questions. I feel like they didn't acknowledge all of my little changes submitted in writing. Of course, these were things that only I would have noticed. The center pieces weren't exactly what we wanted, but were still beautiful.

I noticed that these were the biggest complaints that other brides have posted on this website. I would recommend Catherine's Gardens for their flowers, but not their service. Perhaps give them an earlier time than you actually need your flowers to avoid this.

Julie and her staff are awesome!!! They heard what I wanted and gave me exactly that! The flowers were beautiful and the hall decorations were fantastic! I couldn't have asked for more. Everything was where it needed to be and when it needed to be there and they even helped me with other ideas. I very highly recommend this vendor.

Julie was great to work with...very responsive and willing to work within a budget. Catherine's Gardens was the 6th florist that I interviewed and when I sat down with Julie I finally felt like I had someone that understood what I wanted, and the financial situation I was working with. She gave me great rates, and the flowers turned out beautifully on the wedding day. I'll admit that the pink of my peonies was different than what I had asked for, but I'm not really "bridezilla" enough to care about that too much. They still look gorgeous in the pictures!

The bouquets, corsages, pomander, and boutonnieres were incredible. My centerpieces were not exactly as we had discussed, and I would have preferred discussing any changes; however, you live and learn.

Very nice people. Help me make my day beautiful that everyone enjoyed!!

They were great to deal with from start to finish. I just got back from my honeymoon and my bouquet still looks perfect, it's just crazy. The wedding assistant, Jordan was so helpful and was so ready to go at every location to help us out. It was like having our own mini planner with us

Catherine's Garden were very helpful in helping me pick out the type of flowers I wanted. They were a little late on the day of the wedding though.

My husband and i were married on Oct 31st 2009. The flowers were more beautiful then i could imagine. My Gerber daisies were the most beautiful orange I had ever seen. I totally recommend this florest. THEY ROCK!!!!

I had been referred to Julie at Catherine's through a friend. At the first intial consultation I had absolutely no idea what I wanted. But once sitting down and going through everything with Julie, we came up with the perfect combination of colors and flowers to really compliment my halloween theme wedding.
On the day of the wedding I was speechless with the flowers I received! They were even more beautiful then I ever could have imagined and they lasted the whole day too! The reception centerpieces were amazing. I had so many compliments from my guests and just cannot wait to get my pictures back from the day. I am so grateful that Julie helped me make my dream wedding a reality! Even her staff that was with me that day was great! Thank you so much Julie and the staff of Catherine's for making my special day perfect!

Everyone there were so friendly and helpful. It was a great working with Julie and my flowers were absolutely gorgeous. The church set up was stunning along with my reception flowers. I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much! :)

I love this place i went to them for my basic needs of flowers and loved the costumer service I got, so when I decided to get married I knew they were the place for me. The were on time flowers were beautiful and they even offered there assistance when they were done setting up. If you want a great wedding i would totally choose Catherines Gardens

Flowers were beautiful, they weren't exactly what I picked out, and came late.

I went to Catherine's Garden for my wedding and had a terrible experience with them. The flowers were not the same as the mockup, they were delivered late, my guests even had started to arrive when they were decorating the church. Also, for the 6 months working with them before the wedding, I got bad customer service, hearing every excuse in the book of why my consultant, Julie, couldn't come to the phone or hasn't emailed me back. Yes, she gives a great first impression that they would come through, but in the end, I was totally unsatisfied. I know I'm not the only bride getting married, but when you are paying thousands of dollars for their service, you would think you'd get a little better response and better quality. I definately will never go back and don't recommend them to anyone.

I could write a book about things that went wrong, but here are just a few of the details. Flowers were send the complete wrong color and some not the size that was shown to us. They did take them back and spray them the right color but with an attitude and also delayed my pictures. Also ordered roses for Mary and because she had to change other flowers that were not correct she sent carnations. When asked why carnations for Mary I was told they had no other roses. What florest does not have any roses? The general attitude of the vendor was horrible. We stated that we knew other people that were supose to have their wedding flowers from them and we would tell them to find elsewhere. They did not care. Also when complaining the next day they compared what they went through that day to what I went through on my wedding day. I did look at other florist in the area and they were the cheapest, I guess I know why now.

I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but as soon as my fiance & I went in there Julie sat down with us to walk us through everything. Julie is an AMAZING person and can do anything with flowers!!!! She even made our centerpieces for us. Our flowers were even more beautiful than I ever imagined!! Thank you so much Julie!!

If you are able to use Julie's shop, you should! Her prices are very reasonable and the turn out is amazing. She was very helpful during the entire process of picking out flowers and decorating for our wedding. Her flowers were beautiful, the colors were perfect, and the prices were excellent. She was a big help and took a lot of pressure off us by helping do everything with our centerpieces. We were very pleased with her work.

A+ service flowers were more then what we expected. Better centerpieces then we could have imagined. Bridal flowers were amazing. You have made me a lifelong customer. I personally bring friends in now to introduce them to our florist.
