Art comes in many forms and fashions … Yumiko’s floral artistry is truly awesome. We’re sure you’ll agree!

We first featured Hana Floral Design as a member of Style Me Pretty’s Little Black Book this week on Katie and Colin’s over-the-top gorgeous wedding shot by the J&M Marantz team. When we first saw the floral details of their wedding, well, we just had to ask Yumiko to send us more photos from some of her other special events. The bio on her website says she has a flair for the dramatic … and … she’s a classically trained opera singer. Wow!

When we saw this next glam bouquet, we immediately recognized it! Our friend, and fellow Little Black Book member, Karen Wise, photographed this wedding that we’d already admired on HER blog. Karen sent us some more of Deb and Jack’s wedding with added evidence of Yumiko’s floral artistry. Have you ever seen such elaborate bouquets??

Karen’s weddings are always gorgeous, but this wedding with it’s Jade accents against the lush purple florals, well…it’s simply lovely!

Thanks so much to Yumiko for sharing these unbelievably beautiful samples of your work. We are thrilled to share your creations with all of our design savvy readers!

Yumiko's work is so beautiful - I am thrilled to be using her for my upcoming 7/18/09 wedding!!!
I can't say enough great things about Yumiko and Karen! They were both fantastic to work with and, as you can see, do fabulous work! And thanks to Style Me Pretty for great ideas during the planning process-you offered daily inspiration.
Stunning flowers. I wish I had the budget for this sort of thing!
Hey! Where oh where is the beautiful wedding dress from in the first pic? I just love the detail, but would like to see the whole dress....

The gown in the first photo is from the Vera Wang Collection (12147). It IS beautiful!
Yumiko of Hana Floral Design and Boutique does such amazing arrangements! I'm so excited to have photographs published on this inspirational blog. Making her work look beautiful is not difficult, the floral arrangements speak for themselves.
Great shoes who makes them?
My daughter, Karen Wise, from England is the professionally trained opera singer. After getting a first class honours dgree from York University, she trained at the Royal Northern College of Music and has just gained a PhD in Music Psychology. Are you sure that the renown American photographer is also a trained opera singer ? I can find no evidence of that on her website.
