Kat Flowers Design & Decor
Katerina Allotey
Katerina Allotey of Kat Flowers Design and Decor started her floral design journey in her home country of Belarus, where she launched her business in wedding and event design. She started small, but even before she created her own company she had big dreams. From a young age she was arranging flowers for her family’s dinner parties and standing out from the rest of her town with unique and colorful designs.
Katerina came to the U.S. a little over five years ago and was immediately eager to work as a florist, despite the language barrier she faced. Her determination and courage propelled her to flourish at one of the most reputable shops in DC, where she was able to learn and grow even further. Though she is always adapting her artistic style, her work is recognizable by its compelling European romance, which she elegantly twists with modern charm: from intimate, vintage designs featuring old fashioned English roses, peonies, sweetpeas and lilacs made historic in their antique-inspired containers, to sleek and contemporary designs featuring calla lilies, exotic orchids, succulents and unusual textures.
Katerina’s business is characterized by her youthful passion which she is ecstatic to have unearthed early in her career. She sees every new client’s idea as a window for creativity and possibility, which helps her bridge the gap between imagination and real-life floral art.
