The flowers that Debra's team from Kate & Lily designed for my daughter's wedding were beyond beautiful. When I walked into the reception area and saw what they created, it took my...
breath away. The whole scene was an exquisite work of art! Every last detail was stunning - the bridal party bouquets, the table arrangements, the uplighting and table candles. But the pièce de résistance was the bower arrangement that they created over the long table where the bridal party sat for dinner – I don't think my words can do justice to its beauty. A canopy structure was intertwined with deep green leafy vines and perfect cream-colored roses and delphinium, which draped down here are there over the edges of the table.
Many of our guests told us that they had never seen something so beautiful at any other wedding, and I totally agreed. Thank you, thank you, Debra! You made everything magical.
I worked with Deb for my summer 2024 wedding in Washington, D.C. Although Deb was our florist, she also went above and beyond in helping us put together a color scheme and vision f...
or the reception venue by helping us to choose linens, florals and other decorations that would give warmth to a modern space. Everything turned out beautifully. I would highly recommend Kate and Lily flowers for a wedding or any other big event.
Words fail me!! Debra was unbelievably amazing from our very first consult. She was so thorough and detail-oriented with finding just the right color scheme, "personality," and var...
iety of flowers! She sent multiple idea boards/proposals so we could make sure we were on the same page, and when I say she nailed it, she absolutely outdid herself!! Flowers were probably my #1 priority for the wedding, and she just blew me away with how stunning they turned out. The flower arch she created, in particular, was jaw-dropping against the city skyline. After our wedding, she even helped provide me with vases so we could donate our flowers to the hospital at which my husband and I met, which rounded out our experience with Deb in the most sentimental way. We loved her and her work so, so much and I cannot recommend her enough!
The flowers were stunning on our wedding day! Kate & Lily went above and beyond to bring flowers to us at several locations throughout our wedding day so that we had floral arrange...
ments at our first look and at our wedding venue. They set up gorgeous blue and white vases throughout our venue which added to the festivities. The decorations really wowed our guests!

our ceremony. There were also two incredible mantel scapes that tied the two dinning rooms together. My bouquet was so beautiful and kept well until I was able to get it preserved. Thank you so much for giving us the flowers of our dreams!
Deb did florals for our wedding and she far exceeded our expectations! Flowers are important to me, and especially to my mom, so it was something we were very focused on. The bouqu...
ets and arrangements she did were truly breathtaking and took our already beautiful venue over the top. She also created arrangements that doubled as both an "aisle" and decor for the sweetheart and cake tables.
Most impressive, in my opinion, is that I love peonies, but knew that they were out of season so I wasn't expecting them. Deb somehow found them and included them in the florals! All of her suggestions and recommendations, both aesthetic and budget-wise, were totally on point. We are so glad we hired her and Kate & Lily - you won't go wrong with them.
I LOVED working with Deb. She was so amazing, thoughtful, and kind. The flowers on my wedding day was everything that I hoped for. Leading up to the wedding she worked with us a lo...
t and was very patient and shared her suggestions based on all her experience which I found extremely helpful. She went above and beyond and even included a photo of my grandfather that I asked to be included in my bouquet, which meant a lot. She traveled several hours to my venue and you would never have known it because the flowers looked like they were straight from the shop! So thankful to have found her for my wedding.

created a fairy tale dream wedding reception at the Watergate Hotel. The best part was when everyone walked into the candlelit ballroom and saw the tables- it was a wow moment! As the mother of the bride and wedding planner, I appreciated that Deb was always happy to discuss the many details , over the phone or on site (church, rooftop, ballroom) and everything we envisioned was exquisitely executed. Deb and her team are just perfection.

flowers lining the aisles and gracing the gazebo, I knew everything was going to be perfect! Thank you so much for everything from being a professional who returned emails promptly (not a common experience for us with wedding vendors!) to helping us with our vision for the wedding. From bouquets to centerpieces and more, you did such a beautiful job.
We high recommend Kate & Lily Floral - With Great Appreciation!
Deb is amazing! She is so easy to communicate with and her flowers/arrangements are seriously the best. I had a covid wedding last year with just our parents and she still provided...
our parents and I a beautiful bouquet and boutonnieres/corsages. Fast forward a year later with our family and friends and we had our renewal/reception outside my in laws backyard. The arch was to die for and I can’t even remember how many people asked me to take some of the flower center pieces home. I am truly grateful for how at it all turned out thanks to Deb!
Flowers were beautiful and attention to detail was awesome! Great to work with as she is able to do both simple and extravagant arrangements based on preference! Very willing to ...

nd making it into a reality...but even better. I felt like I was in a fancy magazine.
It highlighted the amazing features of the venue while adding a sense of our personalities as a couple at the same time.
I had a winter wedding with a rustic elegant theme. One of my favorite pieces of the decor was the garland and accent pieces over the fireplace.
My bouquet was perfect! Tightly packed like I asked for with winter elements like pine cones! And Deb, the owner, even made a flower crown for our flower girl.
We got so many compliments on the decor and even the event planner from the venue said that another couple asked for the same exact decor at their wedding.
I couldn't have been happier with the outcome! Kate & Lily is an amazing wedding vendor.
Deb is extremely easy to work with, creative and thoughtful in everything she designs!! I shared my vision with her and watched her bring it to life, and then some! Deb is an incre...
