Catherine was wonderful to work with. I did not feel rushed during my consultation. My consultation lasted 2 1/2 hours ! We did not move forward on anything until i was 100% happy with the design. Catherine was very flexible and i was able to call her when i came up with a crazy idea and she made it happen. All of the table decorations were stunning and Im still getting compliments on them. My bouquet was just as i imagined in my head. My flowers overall were everything i dreamed they would be on my wedding day. I would definitely recommend Catherine to all brides.

Catherine and her team was phenomenal. She was very flexibile and spent many hours with me discussing different types of flowers, colors and every little detail. She made sure the arrangements were exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. My bouquet was BEAUTIFUL and everybody conmmented on how georgeous the centerpieces were and how her flower arrangements were the best they have ever seen. Her team made the entire process stress free by assisting with the removal and clean up of the arrangement, helping pin on the corsages/boutanaires on the bridal party, and assisting with small details prior to the wedding. Highly recommend Catherines Distinctive Floral Designs to any bride looking for beauty, elegance and perfection on their special day. Catherine and husband are very friendly and a a joy to work with.

Catherine was a dream to work with from the moment we first met. She invests a lot of time up front learning about you, your likes and dislikes and what type of look you are going for. She is extremely flexible and really cares about making your day exactly as you want it.
Her flowers were above and beyond what I ever expected. She transformed the ceremony space into a dream. Her prices are more than reasonable and her work is second to none. She worked well with our wedding coordinator and treated my daughter's wedding as if it were her own daughter's. Do yourself a favor and meet with Catherine before choosing your florist. You will not be disappointed!

Catherine was a pleasure to work with! I am very detailed oriented person and had a particular look & feel for our wedding. Throughout the whole process she kept my vision in mind and encouraged creativity. I loved how all the arrangements turned out, especially the centerpieces. They were were more than I could ever hope for and I received so many compliments about them!
Her and her staff came to set up and clean up. I've heard of brides who had to drop off rented vases at the florists the next day. Honestly, who has time to do that the day after their wedding day? Her and her staff were always courteous and helpful.
Catherine by far has been one of the best wedding vendors I have ever worked with. I highly recommend her services and will use her again for future events!

The flowers/arrangements/bride's bouquet was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. My daughter and I were so impressed with Catherine's creativity. The ultimate compliment, to me, comes from family and guests who raved about how beautiful it was.

Catherine was a pure joy to work with. I just gave her a few ideas of my vision and she made them more beautiful than I could have imagined and for for far less cost than I thought I may have to pay. She had lovely ideas and her work was so very lovely. She was part of a wedding day that went smoothly and was so beautiful thanks to her wonderful craft and vision. I wish I could add photos to show how beautiful her flowers were. Thank you!

Catherine was wonderful! She did everything we asked her to do and more! The bridal bouquet was beyond words. She even cleaned up after the reception. This is a fantastic service for the bride and her family.

I was very specific with what I wanted for my wedding day and Catherine did above and beyond what I asked for. From the bridal and bridesmaid bouquets to the table centerpieces, everything was amazing. I am still getting compliments about the flowers from my guests!

Catherine is AMAZING and was able to help us find a vision when we had no idea what we were doing. She was not only able to find the most AMAZING flowers, which we still get comments on just from the pictures, but she made it all so so easy and we never had to worry about a thing. She knows so much about flowers, makes the whole experience easy, and is so affordable. She made our wedding day absolutely beautiful!

Catherine at Distinctive Floral Designs was a delight to work with. Her prices were unbelievably reasonable and her service was top of the line. I could not have asked for a better experience. She offered her suggestions but was open to everything that we suggested. We even changed our minds completely regarding our table center pieces from our initial visit. She had no problem with the changes what so ever. The flowers were extremely fresh and the designs were awesome. Very easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning an event. She was reccomended to me by a friend who had the exact same experience with her wedding. I'm sure you will be as thrilled as I was.

I had to plan my wedding from out of town (I lived in NC and was getting married in VA), and Catherine was amazing with her flexibility to meet with me and answering any of my questions. Her work was absolutely gorgeous! Everything about my wedding was wonderful and well put together. I would definatly recommend her to any bride in the area!

So there is not enough space in this box to talk about how much I LOVED LOVED LOVED working with Catherine!!!!!!!!!!! I told her at our final meeting before the wedding that she was my favorite vendor and I really meant it. She was so incredibly thorough, knowledgable, and overall I just knew that she wanted to make our vision a reality. She asked a lot of questions and had a lot of great creative suggestions. We came in right about where we were budgeted for flowers so I was happy about that, too. I was just blown away about how much she knew about flowers and how well they would hold up at the reception or in a bouquet. When you go with Catherine, you really are getting a very experienced, caring, professional, and again I say thorough floral designer!!!!! I loved working with her!!! :-)

I can't say enough good things about Catherine! When I met with her, I didn't really know what I wanted... but I knew what I didn't want! She watched patiently as I looked through magazines and told her why I liked or didn't like certain pictures. After she had a grasp on what I wanted for centerpieces and bouquets, it was time to be "fitted". Wow! Fitted? Who knew a brides bouquet could be too big? But she was so right!
Last minute, we decided we needed to do something with the children's flower baskets. Catherine was available and willing to spice them up with some beautiful greenery and grass to compliment my "Autumn Harvest" theme.
My centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonniere's were flawless! My aunt mentioned there was not a single centerpiece that appeared less beautiful than another!
Due to circumstances, I was only able to meet with Catherine one time, but once was enough. My wedding decor was amazing and reasonably priced!! (I am so thankful I did not try to do my own centerpieces as originally planned...)

Our florist was referred to us by our wedding planner and we were very pleased. She has a way with seeing the same vision you do. After she sits with us for a few moments and understand us and what we wanted (likes and dislikes), we could tell that she had the same vision we did. She has a very good talent and when we saw our flowers on the wedding day it couldn't have been better. It was even better than what we had dreamed of having on our wedding day.

Catherine was great! Coming into the process, I had no idea what I wanted, let alone what types of flowers were what. Catherine really helped me with the process, by going through and looking at the types of things that I liked. On my wedding day, I could not have asked for a better turnout. The tables, decorations, and bouquets were beautiful. Definitely recommend!

For our consultation, Catherine sacrificed three hours drawing up sketches of the centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres we had envisioned. This was before we even committed to her services! A few weeks later, she presented us with a demo of the centerpieces she had sketched. We were lucky enough to see another couple's centerpieces (for a later demo), and I was immediately impressed by Catherine's versatility. Our centerpieces were sleek and modern; theirs were classic and elegant. I am confident that Catherine will be able to cater to every whim! Now, we just need to look for another excuse to work with Catherine again!

Catherine was perfect for our wedding florist. We couldn't have asked for more beautiful flowers and for such a reasonalble price. She was a pleasure to work with and took our wedding decoration personally. It added such a wonderful touch to our ceremony and reception.
