I just want to say Cate made my wedding day. From the beautiful and intricate design she made for my bouquet, taking care to put in gorgeous touches of my favourite colours throughout. To the flowers that were all around the venue in the vases she provided so that we spent our evening surrounded by her amazing designs. Cate, thank you for your lovely work and I can't recommend your business enough to future brides to be!

Update: Cate was very quick to respond, and sent replacement flowers very soon after. I would recommend her and purchase arrangements from her again!
Very disappointed with my Mother’s Day order. The bouquet I chose for my Mum was supposed to have coral and white roses, and from the picture advertised you can see 5 roses (not taking into consideration the back of the bouquet).
My mother received the bouquet today (a day earlier than requested, but I don’t really mind that), and it has 1 rose. One single white rose. Not to mention that I upgraded to the “large” bouquet from the “regular”

Designs By Cate is an absolute gem of a store in Stratford Ontario! AND IT SMELLS HEAVENLY! Cate is such an incredible floral designer that I find myself literally dreaming of her bouquets until I feel compelled to share the joy they bring by spoiling my friends with their beauty... and myself as well of course! And don’t get me started on ALL the gorgeous prints that she carries, a few that have made their way into my home as well, and so many other beautiful, curious, creative and fresh decorative touches for you & your home. Definitely a favourite of mine. Brenda Groenestege

Over the past few months, we have placed 3 flower orders with Cate and were very happy with the experience. Each time the ordering process was easy yet detailed. Cate ensured she understood what we wanted (arrangement or bouquet; who the flowers were for; type of flowers; price; and, date), provided options and confirmed agreement. Similarly, the pick up was easy yet SAFE. With a reserved parking spot out front, flowers ready on time and all COVID protocols followed, the process was smooth. And the bouquet and both arrangements were gorgeous … Completely exceeded our exceptions! Cate is a great

Cate offers excellent customer service! I ordered an arrangement through her website less than 24 hours before my requested delivery time. Unsure if she had received the correct delivery address, I contacted her by email. She kindly responded the following day to let me know she looked after delivering my order on time and to the right address. I'll be back if I need a florist in Stratford again!

Ordered a bouquet for delivery, ended up being overcharged by $8 despite previously telling me what the end total would be. Had the flowers delivered a day early without any previous notification. Was a rip off, paid $81 including the overcharge and taxes for a tiny bouquet I could've bought for $30 elsewhere. Will never order from again

Cate was absolutely amazing, From the very first day she was fun, and so easy to work with.
We gave Cate some ideas and colour swatches..and from there she worked her magic. Our wedding was honestly SO beautiful, It was beyond words. Our backdrop was jaw dropping, our decor was just so beautiful and romantic , and the flowers were absolutely gorgeous. We received nothing but amazing compliments from friends, family and other vendors. Because of Cate .. We had all our visions come to life and more. It really was a fairy tale wedding! Cate not only has great rates, she has a wonderful eye for design

Cate, I wanted to send you a heartfelt thank you for all of the hard work and care that you put into our wedding, that was held this June at the Stratford Festival Theatre. We absolutely loved the hanging greenery chandlers, cafe lighting, the candles coming down the winding staircase and the greenery hoops hanging on the backdrop. Working with you to bring this vision to life was a great experience, and I would recommend you to any of our friends who are getting married in town.
