I am Yukiko
I create Original Floral Arrangements Blending Contemporary & Japanese Styles

Every flower arrangement I design is custom to your order.  For instance, this website shows 112 photos of birthday, anniversary and thankyou bouquets. I created each for upscale clients in Marin.   As usual, pricing indication follows images. 

Ikebana is present in the designs’ unique look and feel ~ tall blooming orchid baskets and low profile succulents. These colorful bouquets are traditional ikebana.

 

I deliver my flower arrangements in Marin County CA – often on same day.

They are priced from $95 

To order:  (415) 456-6763

 

How I Do It:

First thing, I gather flowers and branches from all over:  some from the SF Flower Market and some from my secret sources.  I never stop gathering materials, it is endless.

My floral design studio is my workshop.  The florals I bring  in need to be cut, trimmed or conditioned and many need to be kept in my refrigerator.

Then I design the design and make the arrangement.

But, How?

 

Here in my studio I create unique flower arrangements blending contemporary and Japanese styles — various orchids, tropicals, Kadomatsu.

As soon as each design is complete I send it to its new home.   I photograph some and publish many.

Also, I place images on other websites, including Yelp!  

But first:  call me at (415) 456-6763.

hapatong offering bouquets to art

BTA Hapatong Offering

I made a floral offering to an Asian statue called hapatong, which is life size, carved from the length of a tree trunk. This piece of art stands for an ancestral spirit that brought good fortune and dispelled evil spirits. 

The image above shows my hapatong submission at Bouquets to Art exhibition in San Francisco’s de Young Museum.
