About Green Gate

Behind the Flowers

I'm Cate and run Green Gate, a floristry studio based in Nottinghamshire. I was lucky enough to grow up with a huge garden and would often be found smashing up my mums pride roses to make perfume, or knee deep in mud pies under an apple tree. As I've wondered through life gardening has always travelled with me and finding a pathway to making nature part of my career just felt right. When I am not flowering weddings you will find me at home, in my cutting garden with my feral rescue dog, Cleo, by my side.

Inspired by Nature

When I started training in floristry I felt constricted by traditional design. I was always drawn to a more natural, garden inspired style of floristry. Always excited by what has just come into flower, my eye is constantly drawn to what looks incredible in the moment. Seasonal design is where my heart lies. Finding colours, textures and styles to suit each couple. Creating bespoke, personal and romantic flowers for your special day.
