so this

I think I officially became a Ninja Flower Designer! It happened.  And I am proud of it.  Yesterday I was fiddling around the internet as I began working on this week's proposals and this happened...

I clicked, I ordered and like magic the ninja fairies came through the chimney and dropped of this wonderful package with an amazing set of ninja clippers.  I can only imagine what unbelievable things will be created with this insane product.  Seriously though, it's kinda what happened.  

After a night of working through proposals I came across this bad boy and couldn't resist.  As flower designers we will try any clipper we see.  The fancier the better, and slap some Japanese lettering and I am in!! So I purchased this with the excuse that it was my birthday today and so far so good.  I am liking it.  The ultimate, ninja challenge will be a day's worth of work, we will have to see what happens then.  

a sneak peak

There's a lovely bride that we have in June that has been ordering flowers for her up coming bridal events.  I think it is so amazing to have someone trust me through out her wedding experience but also what to show these arrangements off to her friends and family.

This is a brilliant way to make sure we are on the same page and to enjoy a little sneak peak of what it is to come.  She is slowing building the anticipation for the wedding and it is making me so excited for her!  Take a look at what we created...

I have an inkling she will like them!

the introduction

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!)
