    We worked with Yvonne for our wedding florals, and she was absolutely incredible from day one. She is extremely professional, communicative, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life. She constantly reminded me that if I had any concerns or wanted to change anything at all, I could reach out to her — she was always there and made me feel so supported throughout the planning process. From our very first consultation, she was incredibly thorough. She looked through my inspiration board with me and asked thoughtful questions to understand exactly what I envisioned. When I visited her studio, she already had a variety of budget-friendly floral displays prepared so we could review options efficiently and easily. Her knowledge of flowers, color combinations, and what pairs beautifully together is truly impressive. She was able to read me so well and made amazing suggestions based on my reactions and comments. Another major highlight was her consciousness of our budget. She went above and beyond to deliver gorgeous flowers — bridal bouquet, centerpieces, bridesmaids bouquets, chuppah florals, and sweetheart table decor — all within our price range, and the quality never suffered for a second. Everything was elegant, vibrant, held up throughout the day, and exactly what we hoped for. Yvonne also made our chuppah extra meaningful. She incorporated my grandfather’s prayer shawl, and even took measurements ahead of time to ensure it draped perfectly on the wedding day. When I saw it all set up, it was so beautiful and special that it brought me to tears. Our wedding was in August, and she was extremely thoughtful about the heat. She took extra steps to make sure the flowers would hold up, and even on the big day she continued to make small adjustments to ensure everything looked perfect from start to finish. On the wedding day, I didn’t feel a single ounce of stress about the florals because I knew Yvonne and her team had it all handled — and they absolutely did. My bridal bouquet was STUNNING and I still get so many compliments on it. The bridesmaids bouquets and table décor were exactly what we discussed — elegant, cohesive, and beyond beautiful. I cannot recommend Yvonne enough. She exceeded every expectation and truly made our floral dreams come to life. If you want someone who is talented, thoughtful, and completely dedicated to making your wedding vision a reality, Yvonne is the florist you want!

    My experience with YJDecorating was nothing but positive. I worked directly with Yvonne and she was able to bring my vision to life with my tight budget in mind. This company is known for their luxurious floral arrangements, but I let Yvonne know ahead of time about the smaller budget I was working with and she still was able to make my dream come true! I know nothing about flowers and trusted Yvonne to make our bouquets, ceremony and reception beautiful. Everything was stunning, simple and classic all at the same time, which is exactly what I wanted. Yvonne was extremely kind, knowledgeable, communicative and answered all of my questions in a timely response. She even let me come into the studio to see examples of what my flowers would look like. The team was professional on site and everything arrived on time. I cannot say enough how beautiful everything was! Thank you so so much for being a part of our special day. 100/10. If I ever have another event that I need professional flowers for, I will always choose this company.

    Yvonne and the team at YJDecorating were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was always clear, open, and respectful, and they provided helpful guidance and suggestions when needed while also being supportive of our own ideas and creativity. The quality of their work was breathtakingly beautiful - the flower arrangements were detailed, concise, and perfectly organized. Yvonne was caring and connected with us from start to finish, even coming to find me and my dad while I was waiting to walk down the aisle to give us the best advice to slow down and soak it all in. She also brought me one of the arrangements so I could see it before the guests, which was such a memorable moment. YJDecorating truly made our wedding day so special, and I couldn't recommend them more highly.

    Yvonne was one of the best wedding vendors that I’ve worked with. She’s organized, detail oriented, punctual, responsive, creative, and most of all knowledgeable about her craft. I like the fact that she is the owner of the business and you directly communicate with her throughout the entire process. She will totally take care of your event. I was impressed during our initial Zoom meeting as she pulled inspiration photos from her huge database of events, organized by color, theme, etc. her thorough knowledge … designing the inspiration for your event with you. You are an extremely good hands With Yvonne and her team. Strongly recommend!
