After reading earlier yelp reviews, I knew I wanted to meet Maki. From the start she was a genuinely lovely person and so pleasant through all of our dealings. But it was her artistry on the day of our wedding that really blew me away. She executed my vision flawlessly while keeping within my budget. I wanted somewhat unusual combinations of flowers that were arranged in a very natural, flowing way. Drawing on her background in ikebana among other things, Maki created one-of-a-kind installations made from branches and other natural materials that flanked the entrance to our ceremony site. Each of the table arrangements were just a little bit different from each other, yet the whole design was cohesive. And the bouquets and corsages were also spot-on by using color and texture to make subtle design statements. I truly loved every last detail.
