These ladies are rocking it ya'll! In a moment of Instagram insanity, which I have on a regular basis, I stumbled across these amazing woman that are curating a group of Houston woman. With intention to gather, commune, listen, love and collaborate these ladies have poured their heart into this little project that is quickly blossoming. Go here to find out more... THE BUFFALO PROJECT
WE hope to see you here...
It's me Maria Elisa Maxit, the owner, lead designer, lover of flowers, chocolate cake, mens cologne, empanadas, music, travel, good laughs and guru or all things Maxit Flower Design. I have never done an introduction on my blog of myself for many reasons but none that really mater or make too much sense. In short, I don't like talking about myself, I am what you call an introvert.
But, I have worked so hard to make this little business work and have poured my heart, soul, and time into everything that you see, that showing how passionate about making this happen was just as important to me as all the other details. I wanted to show that this work is done by someone just like you. Hardworking, passionate, fun loving, goofy, God-fearing, girl, just like you.
Maxit Flower Design was created after 5 years of working in a couple flower shops in Houston. I spent many days working for event designers who created spectacular large scale events. After meeting my goal of a 5 year study, I set my sights on creating something of my own. Something that was solely focused on events and weddings and was curated for the likes of my customers. I was passionate about creating a hand tailored experience for every customer, a detail oriented design concept that started from the moment we met and carried through the proposal and all the way through to the day of the event. I wanted to show my clients that every single flower was manicured, every detail was purposeful.
I am truly honored to have the trust of my clients. I cherish the time spent, during the consultations when everything is up in the air, the late night phone calls, the last minute changes, the texts at 2am thanking me for everything directly after the event... Everything, everyone of those moments shared with them is amazing. To receive trust from a complete stranger is something that is truly so beautiful and life changing. The responsibility of owning this business is something that 5 years of experience could have never prepared me for. I had no clue what I was getting into. Thank you for your trust! Thank you to all my past clients and to many more in the future!! I adore you.
Random facts: I was born in Argentina. I love dachshunds. I have an amazing boyfriend, more about him later. Photography is my second passion and believe I might go professional one day. I am very sensitive to noises, your food smacking bothers me to no end. I have two older brothers. My parents are the coolest people I know. Beautifully manicured fingernails are my weakness. (The large bag in the pic is my favorite thing I own!)
On occasion we get the kind of bride that completely, fully, no questions asked... trusts us. This past weekend was one of them. She gave us budget, gave us her inspirations and allowed us to run with it. I truly believe this is the best way to create a wedding.
She allowed us to use this rock star ribbon!! I just can't wait to see what the professional images look like, and to see her holding this bad boy. Ya'll, her dress was amazing, one of the most original, high-fashion designs I have seen. This bouquet was just the perfect match!
Here are some images of the bridal bouquet I got to snap right before we delivered it.
Yesterday we were lucky enough to be able to install two different small installations for one of our amazing 2015 brides. I love installing flower arrangements! This gives us the opportunity to bring flowers to a venue and create the arrangement right on sight. When enough time for setup is offered, I prefer going this route.
Of course we can not possibly create everything on site, but the photos bellow will show you two simple installations that I thought were very appropriate for the occasion. The first one was a long garland. I knew that the table size was still being decided and therefor I did not want to create something before hand and create something that was too big or too small for the table. My intuition served me well. The tables that were originally set did not work with the linens and needed to be switched a couple hours before our event.
And the last image was something a little less tricky but the vases were provided by the venue and they did not permit water to be added. So the flowers needed to sit in water as long as possible until the event. Everything worked out perfectly... take a look at what we created!
How gorgeous are these flowers! This weekend's bride has impeccable taste and we are bursting at the seems to see all this gorgeousness come to life. After processing most of the flowers yesterday, I began to fall in love with these beauties. The quality is just insane! We couldn't feel more lucky to have found some of the most amazing, hard working flower brokers in Houston. They truly take care of us and I couldn't be more grateful for everything they do for us.
