Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to introduce you to Katie Noonan, the visionary floral designer who has been serving a sophisticated blend of aesthetics and fragrance since 2004. As an accredited member of the prestigious American Institute of Floral Design, Katie is a renowned floral designer in LA.
Katie began her journey with the establishment of 'Noonan's Wine Country Designs'. Recalling her start, Katie candidly said, "In 2004, I started Noonan's Wine Country Designs, and have been specializing in luxury weddings and events ever since". The uniqueness of each client’s personality and vision forms the very essence of Katie's creations, making every design as exclusive as the individuals themselves.
For Katie, the rewards of being an event floral designer aren't your typical accolades. She gushes, "Seeing the final design come together on the day of events is one of the most rewarding parts of being an event floral designer." It's the pure joy reflected on the faces of her clients when they behold her floral symphonies. One such unforgettable event was a surprise wedding proposal that unfolded into a wedding on the same day. Katie confessed, "It was one of our most challenging and rewarding weddings. The couple was over the moon with how the florals came together."
Working with a starting budget of $18,000, Katie ensures to provide her clientele with nothing less than top-tier aesthetics. When it comes to her approach to floral design, Katie doesn’t shy away from innovation. She explained her love for incorporating non-traditional elements into her work, saying, "We love to incorporate elements of interest into our designs. Bringing fruits or texture with berries creates depth in the design."
In 2023, Katie noticed a surge in demand for more color, especially blue, in floral designs. For the uncertain couples who are unsure about their wedding style, Katie has some advice. She encouraged, "Think about the future and how you want to feel when you look back on your wedding 20 years from now. Follow your instincts on what you are most attracted and what colors or flowers bring you the most joy."
In the world of flowers, Katie confessed, "I am obsessed with seasonal flowers. Specifically, it would be Mock Orange, which you can only source typically in June, and it's so magical!"
Katie Noonan is not just a floral designer; she’s a firm believer in building a strong vendor-client relationship. According to Katie, "The best events produced are when our clients trust in our services." Her passion for her craft and the clients she serves is evident in her words and her work, making her a cherished figure in the wedding floristry industry.
