• The quality of the flower materials across the board was outstanding.  The roses were well-opened and the design of all the arrangements looked extremely professional.  You could tell that they were kept cold and well cared for.
• YDS was able to accommodate my “very specific” flower requests for my arrangements, and I know that purples and blues are not typical flower requests!!  They were willing to work with me, and did not try to sell me on some other easier color combination – that was huge for me.
• The bride and bridesmaid bouquets were excellently arranged, and smelled heavenly! The wrapped stems looked perfect, and the girls really enjoyed them.
• The placement of the high table centerpieces were excellent – they were placed exactly where I would have placed them myself!  They alternated perfectly with the low arrangements, and the “priority” tables (parents) had high table centerpieces, which is exactly what I wanted.
• The church decoration materials were of excellent quality – the white chiffon was truly white and shiny, and the crushed velvet runner was beautiful.  It made a huge impression right away.
• I received about 80 compliments on the high table centerpieces – they made an excellent impression and looked so elegant.  We had a great number of discerning guests, so I know that if they were complimenting the flowers, that they really were excellent!
• The down-light inside the high table centerpiece vases was a huge hit!  It really looked nice when the lights were all turned down, and the white dendrobium inside was the perfect compliment to the head arrangement.  Personally, this was my favorite detail – it was just so different.
• The flower arrangements on the attendant tables and the sweetheart table were BEYOND beautiful.  Just lush and overflowing with blooms, it was heaven for me!!  I personally viewed each one, and nearly cried with happiness, because in front of me, there was the physical arrangement that I had envisioned in my head for so long!!
• The flowers on the cake look beautiful and well placed – they complimented the cake design well.

All in all, the experience of working with Yanni Design Studio, and Tara in particular, was a very enjoyable and positive one.  Of all the vendors I worked with, Tara was by far the most prepared, knowledgeable and organized representative of her company.  At each appointment, she was ready with specific things we needed to address, equipped with pictures and samples of every flower arrangement, and was always ready to draw a picture and sketch something out to make sure it was exactly what I had in my head.  She compiled contracts and revised invoices quickly, and had excellent communication by both email and phone.

In summary, I chose Yanni Design Studio because I knew that the outcome would be fantastic, and the designs sensational.  The work of YDS is always stellar, and now I have seen it for myself!  Thank you for all your hard work and dedication, and I look forward to the next time I can use your services – and I intend to refer you to everyone I know, in hopes that I can attend another Yanni-outfitted wedding again soon!

Gratefully Yours,
Rebecca and Phillip
