Letters from our clients:

Mary Lois
Thank you for your beautiful work on Debra and Mike's wedding. Everyone who walked into the room was in awe. Debra said, "It was exactly was I had envisioned". As a planner I really appreciated you listening to my ideas and offering your opinion and style thoughts. You are very talented and I hope to work with you again soon.
It was a pleasure.
Best,
Chris, Wedding Planner, San Francisco, 2008

Dear Mary Lois,
I just can't tell you how awed Leigh and I were by the wonderful work you did for Leigh's wedding. I have received so many thank you notes and everyone mentions the absolutely magical setting you were able to create. I will never forget walking into the orchard and seeing the beautiful glass vases of flowers suspended from the apple trees. Just one of the many beautiful touches. Thank you so much!!!!
All the best,
Lindy, Mother of the Bride, Sonoma, 2008

Dear Mary Lois,
I had to formally write and thank you for making our wedding reception so incredibly beautiful. The centerpieces and bouquets were so striking. I think the pieces on the buffet were my favorite. You really added a special touch to the event, and I'm so grateful I found you. I really loved working with you.
Thanks again for being so good at your craft.
Sincerely,
Emily, Bride, Central Valley, 2008

Dear Mary Lois,
We just got back to earth, and I wanted to write to tell you how absolutely amazing you are!!!! Your creations were absolutely stunning. One of my favorite moments was when both of our neighbors who came, told us (separately) that it was the most beautiful and perfect wedding and reception they had ever attended.
Also, Mark thought everything looked absolutely beautiful too. Every other day on our honeymoon, he'd sit back and say, "Ahhhh...that was a really beautiful wedding.
I wish we could do it again."
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Caroline, Bride, San Francisco, May 2008

Your creativity is imbued with a generosity that is communicated in your designs and fills the environments you create with a sense of openness, light, and wonder.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
With love and appreciation.
Margaret and Conrad, Bride and Groom, Sonoma Wedding, May 2006

Mary Lois,
You made the wedding come to life. You took words, emotion, favorites, pictures, and vision and put them into loving floral expression of the best energy around. The guests were beyond complimentary of the feel, romance, and elegance of the ceremony, bouquets, and the reception.
I honor your talents and one-of-a-kind character. Thank you so much for exceeding all expectations on our special day.
love,
Bre and Mark, Bride and Groom, Menlo Park Wedding, September 2006

Dear Mary Lois,
Our wedding was completely gorgeous. The flowers, the chuppah, everything was so beautiful. I was SO GLAD we'd gone for that arrangement in the cocktails room. I only wish I could go back to my wedding and re-live it!
The tall arrangements on columns for the ceremony were so perfect.
The room after the reset was gorgeous. The bouquets were lush. It was like going back in time to the 40's, like I'd hoped. And the combination with the gold and ivory linens you recommended, plus the trees backdrop provided by the Regency -- it looked like a Maxfield Parrish painting come to life!
Thank you for all of your hard work on this!
I appreciate your effort, your support, and your artistic eye!
Julie, Bride, San Francisco Wedding, March 2006

Mary Lois,
I'm not sure where to begin to thank you.
I knew after meeting you I was putting my faith in the right person. You took what little you knew of me and changed it into flowers. Everyone was raving about my bouquet. Everyone was raving about everything. You did exactly what I wanted without me knowing what I wanted.
You are truly gifted!
Thank you for helping to make our wedding and reception PERFECT!!!!
Yours gratefully,
Stacey, Bride, San Francisco Wedding, June 2006

Mary Lois...
I had complete confidence that you would do a beautiful job with our wedding flowers, but I had to let you know how totally blown away I was! Every single detail was perfect and gorgeous and even better than I expected.
Thank you for adding so much beauty to our day.
Jerda, Bride, San Francisco wedding, October 2004

Dear Mary Lois,
As I've told you many times, words cannot express our appreciation to you for planning, designing, and coordinating Christine and Tom's wedding. Everything - the flowers, tables, menu cards, placecards, favor boxes, wall decor - was absolutely perfect! Your attention to the smallest detail was more than impressive! Tom's comment to me was "It was all so beautiful, Mom, yet quite understated" And, of course, you know that was exactly what we wanted. We received numerous compliments regarding your work, and Tom said that several guests asked him who decorated the Greens.
With Tom being our only child, Tom Sr. and I wanted their wedding to be "what dreams are made of", and you alone made our wish come true.
Again, Mary Lois, our deepest gratitude for all you did. You are such a lovely person and truly a joy to work with. Sincerely,
Luanne, Mother of the Groom, San Francisco Wedding, August 2006

Dear Mary Lois,
Thank you so much for doing the most amazing job with our wedding flowers. They were so beautiful at times they didn't seem real! All the bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, centerpieces, even the flower girl baskets were exactly my vision - simple and elegant.
Thank you for your honesty, and for being respectful of our budget.
Sincerely,
Michele, Bride, San Francisco wedding, January 2006

Dear Mary Lois,
Bob and I wanted to thank you for the beautiful job you did for our wedding. The flowers were perfect and we received many compliments on them! I especially loved my bouquet!
Thank you for being part of our special day! P.S. - My son liked the shells so much they are on display now.
Jenia and Bob, Bride and Groom, San Francisco Wedding, June 2006

Dear Mary Lois,
I wanted to write you a note and let you know how much I appreciated all the work you did for my wedding. The flowers were absolutely beautiful!! I could not have envisioned a more perfect bouquet to carry down the aisle.
The church arrangement, wreaths, centerpieces, and even the corsages were gorgeous. I lost count of the number of guests that commented on the flowers - suffice it to say that they were much admired.
I kept the church arrangement and my bouquet for a long time after the wedding, because I just hated to part with them.
Thank you for being so easy to work with. As a busy, stressed out bride-to-be, I appreciated your easy going calm nature all the more.
thanks again!
Karen, Bride, San Francisco wedding, June 2002

Dear Mary Lois,
I just had to let you know how much everyone raved about the flowers at the wedding. They were the hit of the evening - after the bride and groom, of course. Thank you so much for making the day so much more beautiful. It was a pleasure to do business with you also.
Sincerely,
Jan, Mother of the Bride, East Bay Wedding, July 2004

Dear Mary Lois,
The flowers you designed for Geoffrey's Bar Mitzvah were absolutely beautiful! I loved everything about them: their colors, flowers, fruits, shape, container, etc. They were lovely on the tables and our guests were honored to take them home.
It was a pleasure meeting you and working withh you. I look forward to using your services again.
Sincerely,
Corrine, Mother, San Francisco Bar Mitzvah, March 2005

Dear Mary Lois,
You absolutely blew us away with the stunning flowers for our wedding. I couldn't have dreamed them more perfectly. Even the men were raving about how gorgeous and unique they looked. I've even received a couple of thank you cards form guests who went on and on about your artful design.
I cannot thank you enough for your vision and style, you made our perfect day even more perfect. with much love,
Jenny and Brian, Bride and Groom, Portola Valley Wedding, October 2005

Mary Lois,
How can we thank you enough for the gorge-o-sity of spectaculation that you created on our behalf?
Everything was SO beautiful - I wish my bouquet could have frozen itself in time. So, so sweet! And the mammoth orange dahlias and spectacular fireworks of blue delphimium coming out of that birch bark - WOW!! Your scuplture above the mantle is still there - a little less lively, but we can't give it up yet.
We thank you, thank you, thank you for creating what NO ONE else could have - for beauty and power and grace - for all the designing, schlepping, thinking, creating, for your beautiful spirit.
I am so very grateful.
Linda, Bride, East Bay Wedding, August 2006

THANK YOU SO MUCH ML,
The flowers were AMAZING.
We (hopefully) got lots of pix, and will send them to you as soon as we see them.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and creative genious!
I was thrilled by what you did!
We were really happy!
Lisa, Bride, San Francisco Wedding, May 2006

Having your artistry be part of our special day was a treasure I haven't found words for...awe-inspiring, sumptuous, magnificent, glorious, inspired...I was excited and knew it would be beautiful, but this was a whole other level of composition of earthly artwork. Your eye and hand are such a gift. Loads of guests dropped jaws and gawked "where did you find..." "How did she..." "I've never seen flowers so beautiful..." It was an art exhibit we were lucky enough to celebrate around in wonder.
Thank you for your gift and dreamy image with flowers.
Avvy, Bride, Marin Wedding, June 2001

Dear Mary Lois,
Thank you for your contribution of grace and beauty to our marriage celebration. I loved collaborating with you. I loved your very artful and fun creations.
I loved my bouquet, Molly's wreath, the big Dr. Seuss-like flower arrangement, and the table arrangements.
Terese, Bride, Berkeley Wedding, June 2001

Thank you for the stellar design work on the arrangements and my bouquet.
Your artistry is truly inspiring and I have no doubt that it added to the beauty, whimsy, and magic to June 2nd in a way everyone could appreciate.
Tara, Bride, Berkeley Wedding, June 2001
