Katharina Stuart Floral Art And Design 

5.0

El Cerrito, CA
  • Florist

At Katharina Stuart Floral Art and Design we create floral decor for parties and celebrations of all kind. Our arrangements create a landscape and tell your story. Be it a wedding, corporate event or birthday celebration, we have the experience and style to bring simple elegance and sophistication to your event. All of our arrangements are custom designed and tailored to our client’s specific needs. We pride ourselves on using what nature provides seasonally and locally. We service the greater San Francisco Bay Area, including Napa, Sonoma, and Carmel. We are available for destination weddings nationally and internationally.

I met Katharina Stuart years before I even met my husband. I went with a friend to a wedding show and saw the most amazing flower arrangements and floral art (think purses, jewelry boxes, and wall hangings made of flowers) at Katharina's booth. My jaw dropped at how amazing her visual and aesthetic style is. I kept her name for years, knowing one day I would want her to do my wedding. Years later when I was finally engaged myself, I went right back to Katharina to start the wedding planning process. Katharina has such a calm demeanor, and I remember her talking to me one night when I was having a meltdown about the theme and design of our wedding. Yes, most weddings don't need a theme, but being an event planner myself, I had a high bar to reach, and we wanted something special for ourselves and our guests. In our case, we wanted to transform a winery into an intimate venue, like a dinner party at a mansion full of curiosities, mysteries, and wonders. The surprise would be a speakeasy in a secret wine barrel room with a live band. It was quite a lot to pull off, and we basically had a bare room to start with. Katharina walked me through the design and vision, and she listed very clear pros/cons about each choice and decision I was waffling over. Katharina is not just a florist, but also a wedding designer. With her help, she had our wedding back on track, helping us to select the furniture, put together art pieces, screenprint the names of our guests and their table assignments onto an antique mirror, and of course flowers galore. Our flower arrangements weren't just any kind either... we asked for unique art pieces on each table, drift wood, birds nests, orchids on branches, butterflies perched on plants, and flowers under bell jars. To this day, people tell me that our wedding was the most beautiful they had ever been to and the kind of thing they only see in movies. If you want a florist who is incredibly professional, creates gorgeous arrangements that are borderline works of art, and/or someone who can help you design the perfect event, then you MUST contact Katharina. Don't sell yourself short or underestimate how important it is to have a good florist and designer! :)

Natalie and Pedro are the absolute best!! Not only are they both so kind, friendly, and personable, but so professional, patient, and organized. From the start of the planning process, I felt at ease with Natalie. I appreciate the fast communication, along with how open and upfront she is about everything, I really didnt have to ask her any questions. I am not photogenic at all lol and was so nervous about taking photos, but they made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I appreciated the directions they gave and how my husband and I could be silly and have a fun time whiIe taking pictures. I highly recommend having both Natalie and Pedro, you can never go wrong with 2 photographers! I got my sneak peeks yesterday and I am in total awe of the photos, I literally cried at how stunning they are. I cannot wait to see them all. You want Natalie and Pedro to capture your special day.

We got married in August, and I can't even put into words how amazing Sebastien was to work with. From the booking to final consult, to the day of, he exceeded our expectations above and beyond! We had two videographers that arrived promptly, they were so friendly and fun to work with, and listened to everything I was wanting to see in our video. They were sure to keep us updated during their time at our wedding, while also letting us enjoy our day. To make it better, we received our video so quickly, without compromising the quality. I had given Sebastien very little direction in what we were hoping the video would be, but he understood and the team delivered! I know that years to come I will still tear up watching the video because it captured our day perfectly. I am so glad that we chose Interstellar Films to work with.

My wedding was in May and the weather surprised us by dumping buckets of rain during the ceremony. Thomas was so helpful with all of his direction and suggestions for the ceremony. He was able to keep his cool and roll with the punches on our very crazy day. Our Photos are absolutely stunning! I honestly can't say enough good things about him. He took so many photos and his editing is wonderful. He also did our engagement photos all the way in Yosemite. He not only drove 3 hours one way for the engagement shoot but also drove an obscene amount of hours for our wedding. He put in so much work and I can't thank him enough.

I’m Colin Pattison, owner and filmmaker at Featherstone Wedding Films. I film weddings because I believe in the power of marriage, and I have a passion for capturing special moments on film. I’ve helped countless couples create their ideal wedding film for over 10 years. My goal is to capture lasting memories through beautiful, personalized wedding films. From first consultation, to finished film, I’ll be with you every step of the way.

Colin was probably one of the easiest vendors to work with. We chatted on the phone to get to know him, sent him our deposit and that was that! We talked a bit leading up to the wedding, but he and my photographer communicated to get on the same page/ timeline so I didn’t have to stress much about that either. The day of, him and his team were wonderful all day. They themselves were professional, and all his gear was as well. One of the things I appreciated most about Colin was his ability to be everywhere to get footage, but he was secretive about it, so those that are shy on camera didn’t feel pressured. My videos I got were AMAZING. I don’t know how many times we have watched the videos together or how many I’ve watched it alone but, every time feels like the first. It’s beautiful work and truly captured our wedding day and our personalities. We also got raw footage from him that had us cackling. It’s awesome seeing the day again through both the finished product and the raw footage. Thank you Colin for everything. I highly recommend Colin to everyone!!

Hi couple! My name is Nelvir Aquino, a wedding videographer based in Northern California. My mission is to leave you with a wedding video that makes you smile when you're older, cry when you need it and overall a video that reminds you what a special day your wedding was.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I worked with Nelvir for only about 2-3 months prior to our wedding due to us having to go through the fiancé visa process. However, even with everything being so last minute and things changing all the time, he was very understanding and patient with us, which made it so easy to work with him. His laid-back personality was great to work with before the wedding. However, when the photo shoot starts and you see him doing his magic through his camera, you can tell how much passion he has for his work. I'm an amateur photographer myself but seeing him and the photographers (which they've never met before) working in sync made me realize that professional photographers/videographers are on a different level of professionalism once they start their shoot. Not only are they quick with their hands, the way they came up with creative angles was impressive. After the wedding, he kept the deadline he promised with the teaser and highlight video. We just got our physical copy today and were impressed by how much detail he puts into his clients. Nelvir, it was such a privilege working with you the past few months. We enjoyed having you be a part of our special day and wish you the best of luck in your photography/videography business!! We will be sure to recommend you to our friends and family if they're in need of a videographer!

Richard was helpful and respectful throughout our entire wedding planning process. He worked flawlessly with me, my partner, and our wedding planner to pull off an incredibly fun reception. Richard did an initial call with my partner to discuss the general vibe we were looking for, and we knew immediately he would be a great fit for our wedding. Richard gave us a helpful questionnaire to fill out key songs and general musical interests (and do not play songs). Richard was also happy to jump on calls with us to talk through our questions and hopes for our big day. I especially appreciated that Richard was able to play some German songs for some guests who had flown in from Germany, as that got even some of our older relatives on the dance floor. People were partying all night thanks to Richard! Richard catered to our wide age range of guests, and even gave us a couple of bonus closing songs that were the perfect conclusion to the night. We could not have asked for a better DJ.

Driftr Films made an amazing video for our wedding. Photography only goes so far in really capturing the event. Years later, we are able to watch our wedding video and relive the moment. Very flexible and easy to work with. I couldn't recommend their services more!

Dayna was incredible! I was struggling to find someone to do my hair a few weeks before my wedding, and the people I did find were non committal and didn’t seem super interested. But the instant I found Dayna she was enthusiastic, engaging, and flexible. She really cared and wanted me to have what I needed for my wedding. I shared my inspiration photos with her and our trial session was amazing. It helped her get a few ideas to finalize my look on my wedding day, the subtle changes were amazing and I felt beautiful and confident. She also did my make up last minute as well, and gave me exactly what I wanted. She went above and beyond and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Working with Judy at Found Floral was one of the best decisions my husband and I made during our wedding planning process! I knew I wanted florals that were textured and unique and not too cookie-cutter or traditional, so this was my top criteria when searching for a florist. Judy was able to masterfully bring the vintage backyard dinner party feel to our wedding which had 260 guests and still make our wedding feel unique (each table had different tropical and rarely seen flowers). Over 20 of our guests have mentioned to me since how much they loved the florals at our wedding since then - so many people have complimented our florals and shared that they are their favorite florals they've ever seen at a wedding and are still thinking about them today (some guests even have group texts focused specifically on our wedding florals)! The other big thing Judy did for us was the florals for the mandap (arch) for the ceremony - it was so spectacular and such an incredible focal point! It was raining for our entire ceremony so we were grateful to have a pop of color against the grey backdrop. The Found Floral team also used such unique flowers for the arch and laid them out in a way that was the perfect balance of textured but also refined (without being stiff or overly formal). My favorite part of working with Judy was that she took the time to understand my vision but then was able to operate and make decisions independently to bring that vision to life. There are 10000 things to do during wedding planning and it was such a relief to know we were in good hands with Judy and not having to make tiny decisions like picking out individual flowers or greenery or designing much of anything. I would work with Judy again in a heartbeat - she has such a chic unique style and is warm and makes her clients feel so comfortable at every stage of the process. Found Floral truly is the best florist in the Bay Area!!
