"We don’t know where to begin in expressing our absolute, deepest thanks for  the beautiful flowers at our ceremony! The bouquets were just exquisite, and the colors your chose couldn’t have been more complimentary for our dresses! Your generosity in sharing your talents will always stand out as a precious element of what was for us a truly magical day!”

Much Love, Laura and Katie

 

"Hope all is well! We just got back from our honeymoon in Bora Bora. It was ridiculous how beautiful it was! We had the time of our lives. I wanted to not only say hello but also thank you for all the hard work you put into our wedding. The flowers were absolutely stunning!! The ceremony flowers, the bouquets, the candles, and the centerpieces were to die for! I was so impressed and absolutely in love with everything!!! You did such an amazing job and it went far beyond my expectations and I just wanted to thank you for everything! I wish I could have flowers like that all the time :) We received a ton of compliments on the reception set up and the candles and centerpieces. People were just really impressed as were we. My favorites were the candles outside, the centerpieces and of course the gorgeous moss letters. So cute! I've kept the moss pieces... :) Every little detail was absolutely perfect. "

"I've never been one to really notice flowers... but WOW -- the table bouquets were out of this world!! And my bouquet was perfect. Friends have even put pictures up on facebook with the flowers and commented on them. They were awesome!!! Even Barbara who owns Healdsburg Country Garden said that they really popped. I told her that I could give her your info if she wanted to put you on her recommended vendor list and she said definitely yes.... so can you send me the best phone and email address? Would love to send you more business. And, if you want a recommendation elsewhere (yelp or anything), just send me the link."

And thank you so much!  Michelle

     "Please forgive me for not writing to you sooner but I had out of town guests following the wedding and this is the first chance I've had to tell you how delighted, over-joyed, and appreciative Gary and I are with your amazing work for Rose and Joe's wedding.
      As the granddaughter of a florist I always judge weddings and funerals by the quality of the floral arrangements and your pieces were spectacular.  You truly are an artisan. The church was transformed by the splendor and the Sonoma Mission Inn was magical.  The bouquets were perfection--everything was absolutely perfect and all our guests commented on the gorgeous flowers.
      Thank you so much Richard, you a talented professional and a delight to work with. Please know we appreciate your extraordinary talent and the attention to you gave to make our daughter's wedding perfect."

Sincerely,

Gary and Nancy Towslee

"I CANNOT believe it has already been two months since scott and I got married, and that it's taken me so bloody long to get this email off to you.....you can just imagine how long thank you cards will take....I just wanted to send a little note thanking you all so much for the work you put into what scott proclaims 'was the happiest day of his life'. I like to think I had a little something to do with that, but the wedding was such a collaborative effort it would never have come together so beautifully without you ladies and the crew. I am still basking in the memories. I know every bride thinks her wedding was the best, and am no exception. The entire weekend was filled with such generosity, warmth and love, I continue to be overwhelmed by it all. Thank you for throwing yourselves into this ambitious project with such great spirit and creativity, the three of you were absolutely indispensable and helped soothe and inspire my mom and I when we needed it. I hope the next time I am back in northern california we can share a bottle of good wine and I can toast you in earnest for the amazing jobs you did and the perfect wedding you pulled off. It was the happiest day of my life, too."

all my love,
christie

 

"You guys did an incredible job last Saturday for Tonja and Paul, especially in extreme weather conditions.  It was really a pleasure and I thank you for that :) Paul's comment to me was that he wished his floral budget was 3x what it was so that they could have enjoyed more of your beautiful work."

Thank you,

"Hi Dena - our wedding was a year ago today. As we reminisce and look through photos, I just wanted to thank you again for such stunning arrangements. The setting was beautiful to begin with, but was sheer perfection with your flowers. I love looking at the photos! You are very talented at what you do, and it was one of the best decisions we made to hire you!"

Thanks again!

"

Have a great day!
