Some kind words from our brides.
"Hello Kate,
Thanks for your email. The wedding day was just perfect! And I loved the flowers, and they came up beautifully in the photos!
I was really pleased with the flowers, they really completed the look and feel of the day, so I'm happy about the idea of my sister using your expertise again! I've attached some of our favourite pics to share with you!
Thanks again,
Laura & Luke."
Laura Brasse | Wedding @ Monstalvat, Eltham | May 2011
"Hi Kate,
Firstly, we would like to thank you profusely for the magnificent job you did with our wedding flowers. They were beautiful and ascribed perfectly to our brief.
The fountain, table decorations and arch flowers were beyond expectations.
Dave and I had the most wonderful day; the only complaint being that it flew far too quickly!
In terms of feedback on your services, we genuinely feel you could not have done a better job. Your professionalism, value and service delivered mean we’d have pleasure in recommending Kate Hill Flowers to anyone who asked.
Many thanks again,
Catherine and Dave"
Catherine Forrest | Wedding @ Ripponlea Estate, Ripponlea | February 2011
"Hi Kate,
Sorry to be a little slow getting back to you, we're only just settling back into things now.
The day was just wonderful and marked by such gorgeous flower arrangements. I absolutely loved them as did many of the guests so thank you so much for the amazing work you and the team did putting them together. It's always such a special moment when the bridal flowers arrived on any wedding day and to see my bridesmaids faces when they saw them was wonderful.
I don't have any of the professional shots through yet, but when I do i'll be sure to send some on to you for reference. The room looked gorgeous though (as did mum and dad's house the next day when we filled the place with arrangements).
Thank you again for the professional, yet relaxing way that you brought our ideas to life.
Now to go and practice my new signature..... ;)
Cheers,
Kate & Michael."
Kate Brownell | Wedding @ Ripponlea Estate | February 2011
"Thank you so much for everything Kate, the room last night was amazing!!!
You have been so fabulous and Trent and I couldn’t be happier having someone as wonderful and talented as yourself.
The room was spectacular! xo"
Julia Tink | Wedding @ Sketch, Docklands | December 2010
"Hi Kate,
I hope you are well.
Apologies for the delayed reply to your email. I re-located to Hong Kong with my husband at the start of March and things have been hectic settling in.
Except for the cold weather and rain on my wedding day the overall day was absolutely spectacular. Truly the best day of our lives!! The flower arrangements were absolutely divine and I got lots of comments on how wonderful the room at Carousel looked.
Thank you so much again for having the arrangements delivered to Mum’s house the following day too. It was so lovely to give them to all our family and close friends at the gathering that day. Everybody felt very spoilt and it was a nice touch to add to the wonderful memories of our special day.
I will be recommending you highly to any friends or contacts getting married in Melbourne. You were an absolute joy to work with and your expertise and professionalism was reflected throughout all your work.
I look forward to working with you again one day for other special occasions and celebrations.
Kind regards,
Stephanie"
Stephanie Bunning | Wedding @ Carousel, Albert Park | December 2010
"Hi Kate,
It’s really wonderful to hear from you. We are both well, and just returned this week from our honeymoon. We spent an amazing couple of weeks in the US, finishing up in Hawaii for some r’n’r – which we badly needed!
Everything turned out so wonderfully! The flowers, as expected, were absolutely stunning. The deep colour of the French roses when we put it against the black, gold and cream of our dresses was simply stunning. I could not have pictured it would be so beautiful. It really needed the splash of colour or I really feel it would have been a little pale. You really did an amazing job. And the ‘unevenness’ of the bouquets was perfect too – so Carrie! They really looked so different, exactly what I wanted.
And the room, the table – wow! Again, you managed to bring our wishes alive and created a table that was elegant and bountiful. The flowers were just wonderful even down to the individual napkins (which were fluffy and full and simply gorgeous!). Really the most beautiful roses I have seen. And of course, I did notice the little gardenia at David and my setting. Such a lovely gesture, thank you. They are simply so pretty!
Kate, the role you play in people’s lives is such an important one. You bring alive a vision someone creates for what is often the most important day in their lives. And I have to say, you do it with grace, flair, expertise and genuine care. You delivered on every one of your promises and were an absolute joy to liaise with. We could not have asked for a better florist, you are simply at the top of the tree in your field.
Congratulations on a wonderful business and thank you for helping us to create such a perfect occasion. We will remember it forever and I will simply always believe I had the most beautiful flowers ever!
Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Nicole & David | Wedding @ The Lakehouse, Daylesford, Victoria | April 2010
“Hi Kate,
I hope you are well and continuing to create beautiful flower designs for the very lucky people who find you.
This is a note to say a huge Thank You to you for all your efforts on our Wedding Day, which contributed to such a beautiful and unforgettable occasion. Even though it rained ... yes, rained from 4:30pm to 5:15pm (the exact time of the ceremony in the marquee) we had an amazing day and we know that without your wonderful help it would never have turned out as well as it did.
We have received so many comments from our guests on how beautiful all of the flowers were. From the petals (which were a huge hit at the ceremony) to the lovely centre piece flowers on all the tables (which they were more than willing to take home with them) to how beautiful our bouquets were - I am still amazed that you were able to source some peonies.
Thank you so much for adding in the extra hair flowers as they worked out perfectly for what I wanted in my hair. I used all of the gardenias you had added and Michelle then had the roses. Also, we actually had a last minute change of mind for Michelle's dress colour from dusty pink to silver, so the fact that you used silver ribbon to wrap around Michelle's' bouquet was amazing and again - worked out perfectly.
Also, I loved the extra touches you added to our bridal table - it just finished off the effect beautifully. You absolutely captured the "look" that I envisaged for the day and I couldn't be happier with the result. Again, thank you so much for all your efforts.”
Narelle and Jean Marc | Wedding @ Chateau Yering Historic House, Yering | April 2010
"Thankyou so much Kate for your truly beautiful, creative and original designs. Our wedding was finished off exactly how we had envisioned. You are a remarkable floral artist who really takes pride in what you do. We will definitely be recommending your services."
Jason & Nicola | Wedding @ Cammeray Waters, Woodend, Victoria | March 2010
"Dear Kate,
Wow, wow, wow! The flowers were amazing! I am here at home now looking at the two large arrangments that we just had to take back with us. My bouquet and the girls were perfect!!!! The table arrangements were incredible.
Thank you for being so brilliant!"
Matthew & Melissa | Wedding @ Republica (St Kilda Sea Baths) | February 2010
"Dear Kate,
What can I say - it was just so spectacular! I could not believe how beautiful the flowers were. Everyone (male and female!) commented on how gorgeous they were and the female guests were ecstatic at taking home a vase.
Thank you so much - you really made the night! We all had a fabulous day - Cathy was just so happy and she was so good - she did not once say it is raining ! It was just lovely to see them commit to each other and be married - Daniel is a great bloke."
With our warmest regards and love,
Rob and Meg Knight (parents)
Cathy & Daniel | Wedding @ Carousel, Albert Park | September 2009
"Hi Kate,
Thank you so much for making my day that extra special with the beautiful flower designs. My photos look great, the reception looked fantastic! I couldn’t have wished for any better! The one wish I had for my wedding was to have a beautiful show of flowers, and of course it came true. At the end of the night, my guests were fighting for the floral centrepieces!
Once again thank you so much for being a part of my special day.
Maria & Jim | Wedding @ The Park Hyatt | February 2009
"Hi Kate,
Thanks so much for all your support in the lead up to the wedding. The flowers far exceeded my expectations, I wish I had your creativity!
I really appreciated your attention to detail and open communication in the lead up to the big day. You were very passionate and professional from the very first meeting we had, right up to the day itself. Everyone commented on how lovely the flowers were at the dinner and the roses kept for weeks after the wedding!
Thanks again for turning my vision into reality."

Thank you for making our wedding day simply gorgeous with your stunning flower designs. And thank you for being so kind and patient, and helping so much on our special day."
Kate and Nick | Wedding @ Stones of the Yarra Valley | June 2008
"Kate Hill.... You are an angel. When I decided to start planning my wedding I never considered the little bumps along the way that I might encounter. From the moment I sent you my first enquiry, to the final touches on our wedding reception you were inspiration, dedication, ease and grace. I never in my wildest dreams thought that my 'florist' would be the one to give me the most guidance and support on my wedding day vision.
You truly captured who my husband and I are as a couple, and created the most amazing ambience for our friends and family to enjoy who we are as husband and wife. The amazing space you create to allow brides to bring their dreams to life is a gift and a trait hard to find in anybody these days.
You were more than our florist, you were our creative designer, honest opinion, positive reinforcer... a friend.
We are eternally grateful for all that you brought to our day and our life long memories."
Kahmen and Jozef | Wedding @ The Terrace, Royal Botanical Gardens Melbourne | May 2008
"Hi Kate,
It's taken me this long to get organised and around to sending you a note to thank you for our wedding flowers. I absolutely loved them! They were just as I'd imagined them to be...only better. The orchids lasted for over a month so many of our guests as well as Mark and I were able to enjoy them for quite some time after the wedding too. We had an amazing day and you managed to set the scene for it perfectly.
Thank you also for your creativity and turning my "vision" into reality. You were an absolute pleasure to work with and made what can be quite a stressful time, very easy and completely worry-free for me.
I can assure you I'll be recommending your services to everyone!"
Jenny and Mark | Wedding @ Amello | February 2008
"Hi Kate,
The flowers were absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job. Everyone commented on how stunning they all were. Thank you also for taking the flowers from the reception to the bbq, it was such a lovely way to tie the whole weekend together. Anyone who needs a florist will definitely be getting your number. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to organise such an important part of our wedding.
Thank you again, we appreciate everything you did for us to make our special day even more beautiful."
Emma and Danny | Wedding @ Kooyong Tennis Club | February 2008
"Dear Kate,
We cannot express enough the pleasure experienced when we saw the flowers and the set up you did at the Terrace! What a great job you did and it was much admired by all who attended. We feel hugely lucky to have worked with you. Your choice of flowers and their presentation was wonderful. Your positive attitude when we requested the near impossible and the fact you shared Liz's vision of shell and feather is a huge credit to you. Thank you so much Kate.
Dan from the Terrace also commented on the high standard and your meticulous eye for detail. Thank you, once again, for seeing what Liz wanted and for executing the design so well. We are still enjoying the flowers in our home!
The wedding was wonderful and Liz had a huge smile all day, what wonderful memories we have already."
Many thanks, Rhonda

Jo & Rob | Wedding @ Sofitel Mansion & Spa, Werribee | January 2008
“Dear Kate,
We had the most fantastic day!! Everything was perfect, including the flowers. Lots of people commented on how fantastic the tables looked and most of the flowers were taken home by the guests at the conclusion of the reception so that was a great sign!
Thank you for going to such trouble to source the vases and also the beautiful orchids. You achieved just the look I was after."
Claire & Mark | Wedding @ Amello, St Kilda | May 2007
