Maika’s Garden

Incredible flowers, incredible customer satisfaction! Our daughter got married recently and we used Maika’s Garden. I live out of state and Tong worked with me sending pictures of different arrangements based on what we wanted. The day of the wedding they had made 45 beautiful bouquets within our budget, and had them wrapped and in water waiting to be picked up. Delightful to work with, and really listened to what we wanted. You will be so happy if you choose them. It was fun to go to Pike Place and see all our flowers waiting for us! People commented that the flowers were the most beautiful arrangements they have seen. And all of our bouquets were $ 10 or under! 100% customer satisfaction!!!

The flowers are absolutely gorgeous! Got a dozen bunch of various dahlias and chrysanthemums for 10 bucks. Just in awe of all the colors. The lady even wrapped it up impressively with water bagged and newspaper and tied conveniently to go as I could go on about shopping I wish I could give 20 stars!

My wedding was September 15^th and being a graduate student on a budget, I wanted a lot of floral bang for my buck. I decided I wanted to make all my own centerpieces (25 total in 5×5 glass cubes I found on CL), my own bouquet, my bridesmaids bouquets, and all the corsages and boutonnieres the day before the wedding. Ambitious, but was completely doable with help. About 2 weeks before the wedding, I went to the stall and talked to Tong. I chose a $ 5 bouquet with various huge dahlias in reds, oranges and yellows (perfect lucky colors for a Chinese wedding!) and asked if he could make 35 of these. No problem, Tong replied with a friendly smile. The one day before the wedding, my BMs and I drove down to Pike at 8:30AM and picked up all the flowers, which were ready in boxes for us. All we had to do was take them home and cut them down to size and add water to the vases.
If you have the help arranging, take advantage of the great resource of flower vendors at Pike Place. The flowers are freshly cut, already arranged, local, and prices are better than florists. Especially around peak wedding season in late August and September, dahlias in many colors and varieties bloom readily in Western Washington.
Will definitely come back to Tong to pick up a bouquet for special occasions!

You can always find fresh cut flowers at Maika’s at a reasonable price. Dahlia’s and lilies are in season right now. They make beautiful arrangements, and you can get a huge bouquet for $ 5, or spend up to $ 15 for something more elaborate.
