Niki and Rene did the flowers for our wedding and in every way, they were outstanding. They went over and well above even my high expectations and I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. When I was trying to find a florist, I felt frustrated by the lack of creative ideas- many florists simply asked me to show them a picture and they would recreate it. But I wanted young, fresh, new ideas that really reflected my wedding, not the wedding in the last month's Martha Stewart magazine (I am sure you know what I mean!). When I found Niki and Rene, I found the creative florists I was looking for- while keeping in mind my likes and dislikes, they were constantly creating innovative and beautiful ideas that were perfect for the day. Rene has an artistic eye that truly cannot be bought- he made sure to balance the wedding so that it flowed from ceremony to reception and truly brought a sense of continuity to the wedding it would have lacked otherwise. When my fiancé expressed a dislike for floral boutonnieres, Rene came up with an incredible design for an alternative that was absolutely gorgeous (and made my fiancée very happy!). In addition, Niki and Rene went above and beyond the typical job of a florist; their expertise figured out the set-up of the reception room and the layout of the tables, which was a huge help.
As for the quality of the flowers- they were absolutely gorgeous. They held up all day in hot, July, Malibu weather and photographed beautifully; the centerpieces people took home lasted for weeks. Guests were AWED at the abundance of flowers at the wedding and how well they captured the feeling of the ceremony and are still complimenting us.
Niki and Rene were a joy to work with and are, I believe, the most creative and innovative florists in Los Angeles- they are worth every penny. Their designs are clean-lined, timeless, and contemporary without being too formal or stuffy. Working with them was one of the best decisions we made and if I had it to do over again, I would not change a thing!

It was above and beyond anything I could have imagined, it was so stunning--the room, I couldn't stop staring at it, it was so beautiful. Everyone has complimented it, how amazing it all came together. Thank you so much… the flowers were gorgeous… the bouquet was gorgeous; and everything was perfect and gorgeous, so thank you, thank you, thank you! I really, really appreciate it, thank you both very much. Please keep in touch...I'm sure this is not the last time we will work together. Again many many thanks on creating the perfect atmosphere beyond my expectations!!

I just want you to know that I have gotten… I’m not kidding… 4 calls from each person I sent flowers to, saying “these are the most beautiful flowers I’ve ever seen in the world”; like they flipped out. I just want to thank you guys so much for what you do for me. I really, really appreciate it. Call me when you have a chance because I need to tell you in person how genius you are. You are so talented and you made my friends so happy and you made me look really good so I'm lovin’ ya!

Niki,
You and Rene did a fabulous job, and I loved working with you on a personal level too -- I was overwhelmed by the gazebo as I walked down the aisle and once again as I entered the beautiful reception. You have all of our highest compliments and another that you might want to hear: Our photographer has done hundreds of weddings at that location and he said that our wedding was the prettiest he has ever seen! I am looking forward to working with you both on upcoming celebrations!!!!

I just wanted to say though that we are so appreciative of everything that you guys did. The flowers and arrangements were BEAUTIFUL, and your attention to detail was amazing! We've only seen some of the pics that our friends took, but the flowers look unreal! Can't wait to see the professional photos! Thank you so much for making our day so special and so personal!
