ABOUT CATHERINE - SYDNEY WEDDING FLORIST
MY APPROACH
Gathered Floral was founded from a deep love of creating bespoke wedding and event floral arrangements. As a Sydney wedding florist, I specialise in soft, romantic, garden-style wedding florals inspired by old-English gardens and naturally gathered designs. Working with colour, texture, and seasonality, my floral aesthetic is effortless, timeless and deeply connected to nature. I create custom wedding flowers for couples across Sydney, the South Coast, Southern Highlands and the Blue Mountains.
After spending 22 years in the corporate banking sector in internal audit and operational risk management, I made the decision to pursue a more creative path and established Gathered Floral. With a Certificate III in Floristry, alongside undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Business and Accounting, I brought both creative artistry and strong business foundations to my floral studio. This balance allows me to approach each wedding with both vision and clarity, ensuring a seamless and considered experience from initial consultation through to the day itself.
My design approach is centred on creating florals that feel as though they belong – never overly styled, but instead naturally unfolding within their surroundings. Inspired by the movement and irregular beauty of a garden in bloom, I work with seasonal flowers to create arrangements rich in texture, softness and depth. Each bridal bouquet, ceremony installation and reception setting is thoughtfully composed to feel abundant yet refined, romantic yet grounded.
Working closely with each couple, I take a tailored approach to every wedding. From our first conversation, I seek to understand not only your vision, but the feeling you want to create on the day. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, your wedding flowers are designed to reflect your story and the setting in which it unfolds.
As a Sydney wedding florist, I design across a range of locations, including Sydney, South Coast, Southern Highlands and the Blue Mountains. My work spans bridal bouquets, ceremony florals and reception installations, with a focus on creating a cohesive and elevated floral experience from beginning to end.
At the heart of Gathered Floral is a calm, confident approach to design. Every bloom is placed with purpose, every palette considered. My work is expressive yet restrained, creating wedding florals that are quietly distinctive – designed for couples who value beauty, authenticity and timeless elegance.
