Somerset Hills Florist

WOW! Catherine has the most incredible eye for detail and design. She is also a delight to work with. I can't believe how gorgeous my flowers were and she designed the most magnificent centerpieces. They were absolutely my favorite design element of the wedding. I can't possibly say more. She is worth her weight in gold!

Catherine was wonderful to work with, I really like her energy and creative vision. I bought wrought-iron pumpkin votive holders, and she transformed them into really beautiful fall centerpieces with wreaths of greenery and flowers. Her flower choices were stunning, and our bouquets were gorgeous, fresh and lasted all night.

Catherine and the Somerset Hills Florist team created a beautiful setting for our ceremony and reception with their floral arrangements! Catherine created beautiful centerpieces for the reception and cocktail hour as well as magnificent arrangements for the ceremony. She was able to take my scattered comments about flowers and create exactly what we were looking for. One of our guests said that she has never seen the church look so beautiful with the arrangements created by Somerset Hills. Catherine also helped us decide on linens to create a cohesive feel to the room. She has a great artistic talent and I would recomend her to all my friends and family.

Catherine was suggested to us by our caterer and as soon as we met with her we fell in love! Not does Catherine come across as confident and knowledgeable about flowers, she is also great at making suggestions about what will look best for a particular venue or style of dress. She is also great at working within your budget, never pushing you to add more than you can pay for- she might even save you money- like for us suggesting that additional lighting will not be necessary for our venue.

In addition to personal flowers she did our centerpieces and everything turned out even better than expected! Thank you so much for a great service!

Catherine is a true artist- as a designer myself, and an extremely picky one, she not only was able to intuit my ideas, she was able to supersede my expectations with her floral designs.

We got married at a location (Natirar) where we were the first ever couple to ever get married there. There were a ton of logistical issues to iron out, in which Catherine went above and beyond to make sure everything was okay so that I wouldn't have to worry. Her and my vision of an English garden with very natural elements were pulled together in a highly sophisticated and upscale way. Her tablescapes were to die for, and till this day, everyone says it was the most beautiful wedding they have been to because of the decor!

I would highly recommend Catherine for any party, or wedding. She has done both my sister in laws weddings, and routinely provides florals for my in laws- she is so creative and can do any style and any budget. We love her work and she is super funny and great to work with on top!

The staff at Somerset Hills seems very knowledgeable about flowers. The shop and its employees seemed slightly disorganized though. In the end, our flowers were beautiful despite some of the final details being different than we spoke about during the planning.

Somerset Hills Florist did a wonderful job with our wedding flowers. I had a very specific vision of what I wanted, and Catherine was able to understand my vision perfectly. She contributed ideas that really gave our floral arrangements a "wow" factor. They delivered all the bouquets and boutinierres were delivered to our hotel on time, and the arrangements at the venue were done beautifully.

The main flowers for the venue were white and blue hydrangea. Catherine was able to negotiate with their flower vendor to get a plethora of hydrangea based on our budget. They were able to provide extra arrangements of hydrangea bunches throughout the venue without charging us extra. The arrangements on all the tables were beautiful. I wanted different arrangements throughout the room, at different heights, and in different silver containers (with a vintage feel). Catherine gave me the idea of using unique vases such as silver tea cups, tea pots, and creamers. I was so excited with this idea, and it looked beautiful. Our guests were impressed with how unique our arrangements were.

Also, because Somerset Hills Florist owns all of the vases they use, the rental charge of vases is extremely low. They were able to meet us under budget, even though every other florist I visited said we would need to spend $1,000-3,000 more than I was comfortable with for much plainer arrangements that did not meet my vision.

Overall, I could not have asked for a better experience with a florist. I would highly recommend using Somerset Hills Florist.

I loved working with Somerset Hills Florist, they were absolutely amazing.
Catherine was truly extraordinary in perfecting the vision I had for my wedding. She worked with me to make sure we would have the best flowers for the idea I had. She really took the time to explain things to me and perfect the idea I had.

At the wedding we received so many compliments about the flowers which were even more beautiful than we ever expected. She did a wonderful job of making our vision come to life. I highly recommend Catherine and Somerset Hill Florist's service.

I loved Somerset Hills Florist! Catherine made my wedding truly beautiful with her floral arrangements. She was very good about going over the details with me and it really showed in the final result. She listened to what I wanted while using her creativity to make a fantastic presentation!

Catherine is the absolute best! She has amazing taste and is super thorough in getting to know her clients. She's very on top of things and extremely helpful... so happy to have worked with her! Our wedding flowers were more beautiful than I ever imagined!

Catherine at Somerset Hills Florist took care of all my flowers for the bridal party, parents and honored guests, my ceremony, reception and I used her vendor to rent linens for my tables. My mom also used her services for my bridal shower. I can't explain enough about how fabulous she was as a flower/decor consultant! Catherine is extremely creative, works with absolutely any budget (and makes sure to adhere to the budget through the whole process), offers great suggestions and can really help you put your thoughts and ideas together...even if you don't exactly know how to explain them! Her creative outlook, knowledge of all types and colors of flowers, and flexibility really helped us design my perfect look. She even came to my reception hall several weeks before the wedding to show me tables with sample linens and centerpieces so I could see exactly what things would look like. Catherine's professionalism certainly stands out and I would be happy to call her again for any up coming events! Thanks for creating such wonderful displays!

Catherine at Somerset Hills Florist completely nailed the look I wanted for my June 4 wedding. I had no idea exactly what I wanted, I just told her the colors and that I wanted it to feel unique, urban, and chic. WOW, I have never seen such amazing flowers for a wedding and everyone complimented them throughout the night. She created the look I wanted, even though I wasn't sure how to tell her what it was! Very talented group over there and I highly recommend, they made my wedding so beautiful and I can't wait to see all of the photos!!

Catherine at Somerset Hills Florist was terrific! I knew from the moment I met her at a bridal show that she was the only florist who would be able to understand the complicated concepts in my head and translate them into beautiful works of art to fit my theme. She was easy to work with, took the time to learn my likes and dislikes, and communicated well. She delivered above and beyond my expectations. Most beautiful centerpiece arrangements and bouquets imaginable!

I do not think my wedding would have been nearly as beautiful without Somerset Hills Florist. We decided to visit them through the recommendation of our venue (Olde Mill Inn), and from the moment we sat down with Catherine Cotter, we felt like we were in good hands.

Catherine is a true talent, and her knowledge is unmatched. I brought her sample photos of what I was looking for, and not only did she know precisely the style I wanted, exactly the flowers needed and what season they were available, but she added to my vision 10 fold. We decided on using her that very day.

Throughout the process, she was a pleasure to work with. She was prompt and attentive with communication through email and by phone, never leaving me hanging for a second. She never assumed something would be fine; if something was not panning out the way we had planned it, she would call me, send me images of the alternatives, even text me photos of sample arrangements she had whipped up. Being the detail oriented bride that I was, this was VERY comforting.

We were also slightly indecisive, and Catherine's patience was a virtue. She gave us suggestions without pushing us into decisions. She took her time with us like she had no other clients but us.

Her contracts are very thorough and she leaves no stone left unturned. She was precisely on time the day of the affair, and even checked in with me and my husband after setting up to make sure we had everything we needed. And this goes without saying for how much I'm raving about her, but all the flower arrangements were beyond gorgeous. Just what I had pictured in my head and then some. Like I said, she is very talented.

Price-wise, she was very reasonable. We only visited two other florists in the process, but her prices were comparable to anything you'd find in this area. However, that coupled with her impeccable customer service, the money was well spent indeed.

I will say that if you are having a Jewish affair, and you're looking to use a birch wood chuppah like we did, it can get pricey. Ask if anyone else around your date needs one too. The branches are pretty disposable/don't last too long, so if you can share the branches with another couple, it cuts the cost down significantly. Some people like to elaborately decorate their chuppah with flowers, but we did what Catherine considered the bare minimum, and it looked GORGEOUS. Just a few bunches of flowers on the front corners and some ivy strung across.

So in short, Somerset Hills was one of my favorite vendors, due in most part to Catherine. I would DEFINITELY recommend them!

Catherine is wonderful to work with. My bouquets looked beautiful and so did my centerpieces. She charged us a nominal fee and she would set them up. She has a very modern style which I love. Her ideas are fresh. She didn’t try to up sell me when I told her we were on a flower budget and she even came in $200 less than we were quoted. I can’t wait for my friends to get married so they can use her!

It was such a pleasure to work with Catherine and her team at Somerset Hills Florist. She immediately understood my vision and created such beautiful floral arrangement for our wedding. She is creative and organized! Very Highly recommended!

Catherine was very easy to work with even when we kept adding things we wanted or changing the colors. She did a beautiful job on the flowers - really captured the fall look with ivories, reds, and dark oranges/golds. The bouquets were beautiful - everyone ohh'd and ahh'ed over them when they arrived, and I could not have been happier with the centerpieces. I was worried that the dark red, ivory, and gold color theme we had chosen would look too valentine's day-ish, but the flowers really make it look like a spectacular fall wedding! She also did the flowers for our cake, and it looked amazing!

I'm couldn't be happier with our experience with Somerset Hills Florist! Catherine is so easy to work with and knew exactly what I was looking for. Our centerpieces we're so much better than we had expected, they were just gorgeous! This was by far the best experience we had with all of our vendors. Very flexible, willing to change anything we asked for, and the staff is just pleasant to work with! I highly recommend them!

Catherine was wonderful to work with. We had a peacock theme and blue bridesmaids dresses - and I don't know much about flowers and just had some general ideas of colors. Catherine's ideas for the flowers were really inspiring and helped me get excited about the wedding. I LOVED all of our flowers - the bouquets, the ceremony arrangements, boutonnieres and especially the centerpieces and cake decorations. Everything was perfect. I generally find flowers at weddings to be boring, but the colors and the arrangements Catherine came up with really popped and brightened the day. I am so happy that we went with Somerset.

I could tell from the beginning that Catherine at Somerset Hills Florist was the perfect vendor match for me. She is a fast-thinker and is highly-organized. I came to the florist with no ideas of what types of flowers I wanted, and Catherine gave me floral ideas and then more ideas when I just 'wanted to see what else was out there'. She is very knowledgeable on flowers and what flowers are good for what types of arrangements (some last longer without water than others). We had a number of last-minute requests, such as decorating the outside of the church, decorating the unity candle, basket for the rose petals to throw at the bride and groom...and Catherine came through with all of them. Wonderful to work with and highly recommended.

Catherine is absolutely wonderful! I couldn't have asked for a better presentation of my floral arrangements, my bouquets, or any of the minor details that were provided for the reception and ceremony. The flower quality was bar-none, I have never seen more beautiful flowers in my entire life! Everyone commented on how awesome the flowers were. I had people fighting over taking home the arrangements! :) Catherine and her staff are top-notch!

We loved Somerset Hills Florist! Catherine is the best of the best. We gave her an idea of what we wanted she created awesome center pieces, beautiful flowers for the girls and just set it all up perfectly. She is professional, nice, accomodating, and will guaruntee you will love it! She is one person that I truly just gave the idea and didn't worry one bit about the qualiy of the service. She was great, great, great! So book her!

Catherine's work is amazing and gorgeous! She did a beautiful cascading orchid bouquet for me and smaller orchid bouquets for my bridesmaids. The table centerpieces were absolutely wonderful (tall glass cylinders with orchids in water). I have no knowledge of wedding flowers, and she was a total pro and was able to walk me through everything that we'd need. Most importantly, she worked within the budget i gave her and I think our wedding looked elegant and beautiful (no "cheap-looking" flowers)! On the day of, she was on time and her set up was flawless and fast. If you are looking for a no-stress, talented florist that will make your wedding look so much more elegant, call Catherine at Somerset Hills Florist!

I can't say enough great things about Catherine. She did the flowers for my sister's wedding and because of the amazing job she did, I booked her immediately after getting engaged! Her work is absolutely amazing. When I went to her for my first consultation, I wasn't quite sure of what I was looking for, but after describing my dress and the reception hall and what I imagined the wedding to be like, she came up with fantastic ideas for the flowers! I highly recommend Somerset Hills Florist!

OMG!! I can't say enough about Catherine and Somerset Hills Florist. My flowers were beautiful and the whole process a breeze. I met with Catherine once without really knowing what i wanted. She worked with me and guided me on colors, what was in season, sizes, ect. She asked questions and showed me pictures that helped me solidify my style and what I really wanted. The price was fantastic. Well within my budget (and I didn't even tell her my budget). They delivered on time and the flowers lasted all day and then some.

Catherine made some wonderful bouquets for us! Most importantly they were EXACTLY what I wanted. I met with several florists who sat and listened but then kept saying things like 'ivory" and "lavender" when all I ever said was "dark purple and lime". Although they were more expensive than most I met with, they were worth the extra cost to get what I wanted to see. Her arrangements for my ceremony where GORGEOUS!

Somerset Hills Florist was referred to me by our reception site, The Olde Mill Inn, in Basking Ridge, NJ. This was the first florist that I went for pricing. I was immediately impressed by Catherine, who is SO WELL ORGANIZED! I pretty much had my mind made up on the style and flowers that I wanted to use, but for anyone that's not sure, they have an unlimited amount of resources to help any bride figure out what she wants. Not only was she extremely organized and helpful, but Catherine also worked with me on my budget. She was very prompt to return any questions or emails that I might have had. I went to one other florist after visiting with Catherine and was not at all impressed. I would reccomend Somerset Hills Florist to anyone! I have 100% faith that my wedding will be everything I imagined because I trust them completely!

I wish I could rate this florist a 100! Catherine exceeded every possible dream and vision I could have had for my wedding and kept it all within my budget. She dreamt up things that fit so perfectly with my wedding theme and made our day so amazingly beautiful! She came highly recommended by our venue: The Olde Mill Inn and our day by far was above and beyond what we could have ever dreamed and I have to thank Catherine for that! When we walked into the ballroom everything was complete, and more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. If you want a florist who pays EXCEPTIONAL attention to detail, this is the place! They really know what they're talking about, they stay within your budget and they will not scrimp on quality!

A-MAZING!

They were so so great. my centerpieces were fabolous.
a little pricey but worth it

My flowers were the most beautiful part of my wedding day!!! they did such a great job, and were so timely with everything. Very easy to work with, and the FLOWERS WERE EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!!!

Catherine's flowers was my favorite thing about my wedding (other than marrying my husband) They were absolutley beautiful, so far exceeded my high expectations. I even felt the need to write her a thank you e-mail before I left for my honeymoon. Catherine is flexible, accomodating and willing to work with you to find exactly what you are looking for without any pressure. She even invted me to see the centerpieces the day before because she wanted to make sure they were perfect. You'll be disappointed if you DON'T book her for your wedding.

People have not stopped talking about our flowers. Catherine Cotter approaches her work as an artist. Our flowers were simple, yet elegant and beautiful--exactly what we wanted. She is knowledgeable, professional, helpful and friendly. I will definitely recommend her to friends and family in the future!

This florist Catherine is fantastic, she also did my cousin's wedding and was recommended to me. What she created for the wedding looked like it cost double what the actual budget was. She was incredibly accommodating and responsive. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

Catherine from Somerset Florist was awesome to work with. I met her at a wedding showcase and fell in love with her arrangement pictures. She is kind, sweet, easy to talk to and very artistic. She works with you in your budget, explains the different types of flowers you can pick or what works well (within your price range) and listens to your ideas. I had a vision in my mind and she did exactly what I had imagined. She is extremely creative and I recommend her to everyone and anyone that is having a big event. She was very professional and took care of every little detail. I cannot say enough good things about her.

I was very pleased with or decision to book with Somerset Hills Florist. Catherine, the owner, is a very kind non pushy kind of person. We met her at a bridal show at our reception venue and not only did we fall in love with her displays, but her realization that not everyone can spend $3000 on flowers. She did extremely well to work within our budget, providing lots of expertise and alternatives to our arrangements. She was especially helpful because neither my husband or I knew what to expect with flowers. The only downside I hade with Somerset Hills Florist is that when the bouquets arrived, we had some droopy flowers, no seeing instructions to cut them off if they had dropped because the instructions were written on a card and shoved in one of the bridesmaids arrangements. No one thought to read it until after the wedding. I know Catherine herself was in the building, she just never made it up to my room to explain the information to me. She did, however, speak with my husband, but he of course had not seen the bouquets because they were with me. Honest misunderstanding and it most certainly did not impact my day in any way. I would highly recommend Somerset Hills Florist.

Somerset Hills Florist provides professional, creative services for their clients under the direction of Catherine Cotter. Without hesitation, Somerset Hills Florist is recommended for all events, including corporate and social events. Catherine and her staff are energetic, pleasant and eager to assist wherever they can in the decor process. They make The Bernards Inn look gorgeous every time! It is a pleasure to recommend Somerset Hills Florist.

Their flowers are always exquisite and thoughtfully designed. The owner is a true artist.
