My Wedding Sense

mrs. baek and her staff were nothing but perfect during planning, preparation and on the day of. her team handled bride bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnieres and flower decorations all through the venue. her style and innate sense/“getting it” when you describe what you want to her is 100% reliable. i am so thankful to her for making my wedding day so beautiful and memorable! i would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married in the bay area. 10 out of 10!

If i could give Younghee 100 stars i would! I cannot say enough how happy and mesmerized we all (bridal party, guests and even the people helping cater the wedding) were with the flowers!
She is sooo easy to work with. I emailed her some ideas and she understood exactly what i wanted… i think she envisioned it better than me… seriously…that turned out more beautiful than i had imagined.
Although she does not have her own shop and works from home (which i think is genius!) she truly has an AH-​mazing talent!
She works around your budget and gives you ideas. I am sooo happy i used her! Would totally use her again for the heck of it. :)

I was one of those brides that cared about details. From my wedding dress line to the length of the venue, I was very upfront about what I wanted and needed. At the same time I knew that I could not get all the flowers I wanted because my wedding was during the winter season. I needed someone to coach me and guide me of my options, but still execute the perfect wedding I needed. My Wedding Sense exactly that. She knew the flowers very well and the simple, yet elegant theme of my wedding. She is super detail oriented and very punctual in delivering what the bride absolutely loves! She suggested awesome ideas like the paper flower background for my dessert bar which got featured in WeddingPaperDivas blog! Everyone complemented on the wedding decorations and the flowers that matched perfectly with the dresses we had! You can trust her to do what she promised to do and count on her to do what is just best for you!

I am so glad that we found Younghee from Unilocal.I will recommend her to all my friends. Younghee has very good taste on the style and color arrangement. She also knows the season and related flower very well. Once I told her my wedding date, she showed me all the flowers usually available in that season to see what type and what color the flowers I like. She will also ask me to send her some pictures if I found something I like so that she can understand my style more. Younghee is very on top of her thing, she keep me update with every step. She is also very care about me. I am very touch since sometimes I felt that she treat me like her daughter but not just a customer. I still remember she message me immediate when she saw the flower I always want but the flower supposed to be very hard to find in that winter since my wedding is in mid-​November. I know she shop in the flower market every often when it gets close to my wedding date since she try to see if she can find the flower I like. When I heard her voice from the phone, she sounds even more excited than me when she found the flower. In order to find some special classic centerpiece holder for me, she has shopped for difference place as well. During the whole process, I only described what type of style I want, and let Younghee to design everything. It turn out even much better than what I expect. Within our limit budget, Younghee did a fantastic job. My bouquets, boutonnieres and table centerpieces turned out perfect and gorgeous!
One thing I need to mention is that my wedding is on Sunday. In order to make my flower fresh, she skipped her Sunday church and delivered flower to me. Thank you so much Younghee!
Pick Younghee as your florist, you will never go wrong since she care about you!

My review below still stands true. I wanted to add that My Wedding Sense was, by a million miles, my most prized wedding vendor. Three of my girlfriends have been recommended or are using Younghee as their vendor also!
I had two weddings during the weekend: one at a Buddhist temple and one at Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery. Younghee did such a fantastic job. I had 150 people at the temple who raged about my flowers. I also had another 150+ guests at Casa Real who couldn’t get enough of my gorgeous all-​orchid bouquet. I won’t forget how amazing she did with my limited budget. I really hope that those who are considering a flower vendor to only seek the help of My Wedding Sense.

Younghee is a consummate professional and I have nothing but the highest recommendation for her services and work ethic. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!
I just got married in May of 2014 and used Younghee as my florist. I wanted a rustic chic look for my wedding and I didn’t want the décor to look overly done. I wanted a casual vibe for my wedding. I had a vision in my head, but execution is more difficult. Now, just because something looks simple or casual does not mean it doesn’t require control, planning, and work. It takes a lot of work to look SIMPLE! Lol. This is where Younghee comes in.
I interviewed 3 other florists before deciding to go with Younghee. What I really wanted was to just throw some money at someone, and not have to worry about flowers and have the venue look perfect. (It’s what EVERY bride wants!!!) The two other florists I interviewed asked me way too many questions about flowers and color schemes, which I found irritating. I was already responsible for a plethora of other decisions, so I actually didn’t want to think about which flowers looked good with what. I mean, I had no clue. I just had a vision in my head, but no knowledge of how to execute it. I just wanted to defer to the florist’ expertise and vision.
Anyways, at my meeting with Younghee, she came prepared with a giant beautiful portfolio. She had color palettes, a list of flowers, and pictures that she collected that she thought would be appropriate for my wedding. She even made preliminary color drawings of centerpieces she envisioned for my wedding. She told me she studied art and design back in Korea. I was like, ok! Dang! You’re hired! Her attention to detail blew me away.
Needless to say, the floral arrangements for the wedding was beautiful. She made maids bouquets, brides’ bouquet, centerpieces for the tables, decorated aisles and the floral arrangement for the gazebo. I actually did not have to spend much time or money into any other décor for my wedding because the flowers was enough.
At the last minute, she told me she purchased peonies for my bouquet. I couldn’t afford peonies so we agreed not to put peonies in my bouquet. But somehow, she was able to purchase some beautiful pink and white peonies for my wedding.
Younghee’s designs, floral arrangements, and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. I was very happy with her work and would recommend her to all my friends.
I’ll post some pictures of Younghee’s design as soon as I get it back from the photographer.

Ms. Baek is truly passionate about flowers. When we first met with her she spent a good portion of our meeting just designing my bouquet. We were impressed with her attention to detail and knowledge of flowers, and really liked her portfolio. Even though I wanted just one vendor for flowers, lighting, and décor, I wanted Ms. Baek as our florist because I knew she would give me the beautiful bouquets and centerpieces I wanted at a great price. She really cares about making sure you’re happy and you’re getting what you want. She did not disappoint! All the centerpieces, and especially my bouquet, were absolutely gorgeous.
However, I cannot give a full 5 stars because she did run a little behind setting up and was a little late to the cleanup. Based on the experience of other people who are married, the florist pins the boutonnieres/​corsages, but she said that was not her responsibility so everyone had to help each other get their boutonnieres pinned. Even though we had discussed in email several times which family members were getting the boutonnieres and corsages, on the day of when asked by the groomsmen, she said she did not know, and my father (!) ended up getting his boutonnière pinned by a staff member of the venue RIGHT before he walked me down the aisle. Two of the corsages (for my stepmom and grandmother), and one boutonnière (for my grandfather) never got pinned on the proper persons, which still upsets me a little =/​Ms. Baek really has a great sense of aesthetics when it comes to flowers, but can be somewhat disorganized. I would give 3.5 stars but she is a very sweet lady and the flowers were beautiful and fresh, so I rounded up to 4.

We were referred to Younghee Baek of My Wedding Sense by our wedding coordinator. We really waited until the last minute to book our florist so we were beyond blessed to have been able to work with Younghee. I contacted so many florists but they were either booked or asking for a ton of money. Let’s just say I wasn’t willing to pay $ 10,000 for flowers. Prior to meeting with Younghee, we were certain we had our florist locked down. We thought she understood our vision, but we were very wrong. She created a sample centerpiece for us and I was so upset with the quality of the flowers and the overall arrangement. It just didn’t make any sense. I was really hoping and praying Younghee would be able to execute. She went above and beyond my expectations and I couldn’t have been more impressed with the quality of her work.
When we first met with Younghee, I immediately knew we were in good hands. She started off by asking about our color palette and came prepared with a binder full of various colors to look at. I didn’t have a set idea in mind, I just knew I wanted peonies and a light color palette with a few touches of pinks/​peaches and no traditional roses. I showed her some pictures of floral arrangements I liked and the rest was up to her creative judgement.
Throughout the remaining few months we had left, Younghee kept in great contact with me. She was always following up in regards to design ideas and creating a back up plan. Flowers are available during different seasons and it is often hard to predict what will be fresh and available at the time of your wedding. In my case, peonies were coming to the end of their season for my June 2013 wedding. Although I was very set on having peonies, Younghee created a beautiful back up plan involving Garden Roses.
On the day of my wedding, I was so surprised with the quality of her work. The flowers were so full, fresh, and beautiful. She even got a hold of peonies to fulfill my wedding wishes :) My bouquet was my favorite, but everything she created was truly just as beautiful. She definitely exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t have been happier. I have zero complaints and will send my friends and family to Younghee for any floral needs.

My hubs and I got married at the Rengstorff House in September and it was the perfect, small and intimate garden wedding we always wanted! After having booked this perfect venue early on in 2013, we booked Younghee to help us with flowers, decorations, and table arrangements. I have seen Younghee’s previous works and knew even before I got engaged that I wanted to work with Younghee for all the creative aspects of our wedding. (Def the best decision we made!) I was stoked that Younghee was available: D
In 4 months, I pinned over 2,000 photos on Pinterest and
for ideas. But after way too many photos and ideas one’s brain could hold, I began feeling really lost and overwhelmed. This is when Younghee came to the rescue. She had me put aside my deep love for, and addiction to, Pinterest and theknot, and got us creating our own game plan. What was great about this process was that she was super involved (though she wasn’t required to be based on our contract), full of creative yet realistic suggestions, and always mindful of our budget. Also, she knew her flowers and crafts WELL. All I needed to do was show her a picture, and she made it happen. I even joked with her and said that she was a Korean Martha Stewart! I think she liked that comment ;)
My flowers, table arrangement, and decorations turned out PERFECT. When I saw them at the wedding, I could tell that Younghee had put in SO MUCH time to each piece. My and my bridesmaids’ bouquets were GORGEOUS and the handmade boutonnieres were simply AMAZING (I will attach photos to my review). Our guests still talk about them to this day! The table arrangement was beauuuuutifully done and everything was just perfect. Younghee also hand made paper flowers for our greeting and menu blackboards. She was so right that those flowers would enhance the intimate garden wedding feel– they were perfect!!! I could go on and on about everything that I loved about my wedding that Younghee had worked on, but I will just attach photos and let the them speak for itself! Her talent it truly amazing.
One thing I learned from Younghee was that depending on when your wedding is, some flowers of your choice may or may not be available. Also, the same flower may have a different tone/​shade depending on the season. But no worries, as I am sure that Younghee will cover this thoroughly with you and come up with an alternative that you will still be happy about as she did for us! My hubs and I would recommend her over and over again. Go Younghee!

My husband and I wed in San Jose at the end of June of 2012, but I still remember those weeks of preparing. Just like many brides, I had been collecting ideas of what I wanted to see for my wedding. I may not be very creative, but I do appreciate beautiful things.
Due to my limited budget, my husband and I had to opt out of having our wedding in a beautiful vineyard or a lovely outdoor scenery. Our next sentimental location would be my home church. The sanctuary of my home church is very clean and bare. The cafeteria, which would be used for my reception, looked like an industrial cafeteria. To a bride, it looked like decorating the two areas for a dream wedding would be an impossible task.
Mrs. Baek helped me to prepare for my wedding months before the wedding day. She has an extraordinary amount of creativity and is very resourceful. Her goal wasn’t to figure out what would be in her best interest, but she genuinely did her best to maximize my budget. She met up with me several times to show me her personal sketches and proposal designs and they put me at ease. She integrated my themes into the decorations and also had great feedback about how to make most of the space that we had. As the wedding day approached, I started to feel more excited about how the reception area would be transformed.
I honestly, absolutely loved my bouquet. She added in my favorite flowers, peonies, which were thankfully in season. I loved the ways that she used my colors: lilac, pastel pink, and cream, to work them into the whole wedding. She took my inspiration boards and made them into reality.
She also made my cake-​toppers (the wooden painted dolls). She is not only wonderful with flowers and ceremony designs, but she truly is an artist!
All in all I was very satisfied with how beautiful the ceremony place looked and also how the reception place looked. My guests (most of whom were members of my church) were in shock of how magically she transformed our cafeteria.
Mrs. Baek is a magical person to work with. She is not only great in working with big themes and large-​scaled projects, but she is also great in seeing how details fit into creating beautiful large events. She is very patient and also a great resource when it comes to planning your wedding. You won’t regret booking her. :)

I was Mrs. Baek’s first official customer for this business, I think.
I got married in 2010, and Mrs. Baek was in charge of decorations and flower for my wedding. I really satisfied with her work because her work ethic was always beyond expectations. She also decorated my engagement ceremony before the wedding. Everyone complemented the art of her work on my special days and I sincerely appreciate what she has done for me and my husband.
She is very artistic and has a good taste of decoration.
Just to give you an idea of how Mrs. Baek prepared my wedding, I should start with many meetings that I had with her before the wedidng. She started preparing about two months ahead. Everytime we met, she brought different concept options for me to choose. Once we settled down with one concept, she actually drew how she vision this event will be, explaining in detail with plans of the wedding site, and details of the bouque and decoration.
The actual outcome on the wedding day was amazing and more than what I’ve expected. We had our wedding reception at a fellowship area in a Korean church where it is very limited to decorate. She turned that place into a real nice and fancy restaurant like place with her hand made decorations. Not only the reception place, she cared about the main wedding ceremony and welcome table. My wedding was in winter time near Christmas, so she designed it accordinlgy.
Everything was very beautifully done and her skills of decorations were so professional that everyone asked where I asked for decorations. My husband and I still really appreciate her whenever we look into our wedidng album.
You won’t regret if you work with My Wedding Sense, because it’s worth every penny. If you want to make your special day unforgettable and show off Your sense of artistic taste, My Wedding Sense can surely help you and you’ll successfully execute it.

Younghee, the owner, did the flowers for my April wedding two months ago. I was lucky to meet Younghee at a small wedding fair thrown by Suji Events. Younghee had arranged several centerpiece examples for the event. My fiancé and I fell in love with one of her designs and got a quote from her on the spot that fit within our budget!
Weeks later, we contacted her again and met with her twice to discuss flower designs. Younghee is a pleasure to work with – she is so polite and kind. I had several ideas for the flowers, but was having a hard time figuring out how they would all work. Younghee’s talent for arranging flowers became clear as she sorted through my ideas, helping me figure out which ones would work together and what type of overall color scheme would work best with my wedding colors and bridesmaids’ dresses.
Memorably, she even pulled out a little kit of sample colors cut in the shape of leaves and flowers with a plethora of different shades. She let me pick out the colors I liked best and then would show me what a bouquet with those colors would look like, even down to the leaves that would be around them.
We ended up with a blush pink, peach, and white color scheme that I completely loved.
There were little bumps throughout the process that I expect are common – some of the flower types that I wanted weren’t in season in April, but Younghee provided me with tons of options for alternatives and didn’t even charge extra when I selected a more expensive flower.
On the big day of the wedding, I was so surprised and delighted with the flowers. My bouquet was huge, and Younghee had even wrapped the base of the flowers with pink ribbon and lace, decorated with a small pink and white cameo-​style pin. This was a wonderful touch that everyone remarked on.
Working with Younghee as our florist was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend her for any wedding you are planning. You’ll get excellent service and someone who really cares about the final outcome of your wedding. And on top of that, she has a true talent and eye for what will look good. With all of the many parts of wedding planning, it really makes a difference to have a calm, considerate, and sweet vendor on your side!
