Maki is amazing. Her floral designs are truly artistic and one of a kind. She did my bridal bouquet, ceremony centerpieces (ikebana) flower girl bouquets, and boutonierres and they were fantastic (not your typical bouquets w/standard flowers). She’s also super flexible and willing to work within budgets (and coming up with creative solutions if you’re over budget) and general ideas. I loved her work and really enjoyed working with her!

Maki is absolutely wonderful to work with. Our wedding was just three weeks ago, in Sonoma. We only met with Maki in person once, six months prior to our big day. I had brought along a few magazine photos, and she came with a few of her recent albums. We were amazed by her attentiveness to our ideas. She asked an excellent set of questions about items that we hadn’t even considered, and when we ended our meeting, we felt fully confident in her ability to beautifully articulate and present our vision. And she did! My bouquet was a simple arrangment of plum calla lilies; and my maid of honor’s bouquet contained a lovely array of chocolate cosmos, lilies, etc. Her larger floral arrangements were gorgeous, too. We received so many compliments throughout the reception (and days later) from our guests who were so taken with her work. I whole-heartedly recommned Maki to anyone.

My wedding in Sonoma was absolutely beautiful largely in part because of the wonderful flowers that Maki made. Maki is super friendly and smart. She met with me well in advance, asked me a number of questions, (e.g. wedding colors, number in bridal party, ceremony and reception specific) she was able to take my guidance and execute according to my wishes to the “T”. Maki made the most beautiful ikebana arrangement for our sweetheart table, gorgeous orchid flower balls and greenery for the backing of our chivalry chairs. She also made beautiful bridal bouquets and boutinerres and coursages. She’s able to handle multiple changes leading up to the event, in a stress-free fashion. Plus she only does one wedding per weekend, to truly devote all of her attention and effort to your special day. I was blown away by my reception table centerpieces. I told Maki what flowers that I liked, provided her with images of arrangements that I liked and she truly blew me away with what she came up with. She has great artistic vision and if you provide her with a visual as to the colors and layout of your guest tables, she knows what will look best.

I’m so happy to have found Maki! My pictures turned out wonderful and I can’t thank her enough for all of the hard work and effort put into both our ceremony and reception. Absolutely beautiful work!

Thanks!!!!!!

I cannot praise Maki enough! =) Her creativity is incredible. We were blown away by the flowers she did for our wedding. We were looking for a very modern, clean look, and decided to hire her as she is trained in Ikebana (the art of Japanese floral design).

All I can say is that we are so glad we did hire her.. as the flowers were beautiful, creative, unique, and memorable. Much more than we could have every wished. Each centerpiece had two components, with twigs and bamboo leaves with green and white orchids. It was beautiful.

Also, we had these beautiful floating orchids and twigs in little vases… and my bouquet was GORGEOUS. I can’t praise her enough. Once I get the photos back from our photographer, I will post some of the pictures, as it is easier to see that way, then through my verbose ramblings… Regardless, we thought she made the event in terms of decor… she made it really special, and everyone was blown away by the flowers.

The design was unique ad beautiful!! Everyone who attended the wedding couldn’t help but gush over my bouquet!!! I loved it!!!

Maki did an excellent job with my bouquet and I definitely recommend her work!

My wedding was back in May at a winery in Sonoma. I found Maki through a Yelp review and I feel so lucky to have found her!!! We met in person and I brought some pictures of flowers I liked and an idea of my wedding colors. She beautifully interpreted what I was looking for – matching the style I wanted for my wedding as well as the setting for our ceremony and reception. I highly recommend Maki, and she is so great to work with. Readily responsive by email also. Some pics from my wedding are attached!

All I can say is – I truly LOVED my wedding flowers!! I still receive compliments on them a month after my wedding. Maki exceeded our expectations. She is very easy to work with , detailed, artistic and professional.
During the wedding planning process, I bombarded her with floral arrangement ideas and a million questions. She was very patient with me and answered all my questions and concerns. We had twigs wrapped around flower vases for our centerpieces and Maki stranded each individual twig together to create a wrap for the vase. She had to make at least 17 of these! On top of that, the flower arrangement was a gorgeous array of our chosen colors. Our guests loved looking at them! My bouquet was breathtaking, I never wanted to put it down. That’s how much I loved it : ) If you choose Maki as your wedding florist, you’re in great hands.
