    I had a destination wedding in San Juan. The decorations and flowers exceeded my expectations. Many of my guest commented on how stunning everything looked. I had a cascading bouquet that was absolutely gorgeous. I'm so glad my wedding planner Barbi Diaz introduced us.

    Mara was amazing in every possible way! She went above and beyond, and totally saw our vision for our perfect wedding before we even did. When we first came to her, we didn't have very many photographs or thoughts of what we wanted for our wedding. She was very patient with us and gave us many great ideas for the wedding, including using sea glass for our escort cards. We also had an obnoxious request when it came to outside lighting for the reception and she listened and figured out how to make it work against all odds!

    Also, the bride's bouquet was honestly the most beautiful bouquet that we have ever seen! We genuinely feel that we got way more than our money's worth! We can not express enough how insightful and talented Mara is!

    If you are looking for someone to create the most gorgeous setting for your wedding, hire Mara!!! My husband and I had our destination wedding at El Conquistador resort and I just had to have everything outdoors (unless the weather didn't cooperate). She turned the Trellises area in to the most romantic setting and listened to everything I described I wanted to look like and photos I shared, but with her own unique twist and it was more than I could have asked for. We received so many compliments from our guests on how it was the most beautiful wedding from the flowers, to the table settings, the arch and my gorgeous bouquet. You will not be disappointed with Mara and her team! Thank you so much! xoxo

    If you are looking for a true creative and a true artist who TRULY listens to your visions and carries them out with ease and professionalism...then you must absolutely book "Blanco by Mara". She is such a sweet individual who you can tell truly loves her career. Mara's attention to detail is unmatched and she is swift no nonsense. In all honesty Mara and her staff are light years ahead of the many competitors on the island with floral design and contemporary style. One vendor you would not have to worry about during your planning process, trust me she has it all under control!

    Blanco by Mara were awesome to work with. I live in the South Carolina and was able to make all the decorating decisions with Mara over emails and phone calls. She also helped me with deciding what would look better. She was onsite on wedding day and helped especially with the changes that needed to be made because of the weather. The flowers were beautiful. I would highly recommend her.

    Since I was a little girl I always dreamt about my wedding day. From the dress to the church, venue, but most importantly about the flowers, decoration, & theme of my wedding. When it came time to plan our wedding, I knew without a doubt that Mara would do the flowers, decorations, & our invitations. To give you a little background Mara did my sisters’ wedding which was amazing!!! She also has done around 10 of my closest friends’ weddings & every time I attended one of these weddings it was a different romantic & beautiful experience. Her talent is limitless. So picking her was a no brainer for both my husband & I.

    Working with Mara was a delight. She listened to what I wanted & asked me to send her my pinterest wedding board to see what type of decorations I liked. I only had the colors picked out. I wanted a white, black, & gold wedding, colors that brides don’t usually pick. Even though those are my favorite colors I was hesitant about the idea & how it would look on the venue. As I explained this to Mara she eased my worries. She knew what she was doing. I remember she asked me to send her pictures of bouquets of flowers I liked. I responded that I wanted a bouquet of white peonies. One of the pictures I sent her was of a bouquet of white peonies & in between it had gold painted peonies. On the day of my wedding, while I getting ready the bouquet arrived & to my surprise, Mara had gone above and beyond & painted the peonies gold. It is the most beautiful bouquet of flowers I’ve ever seen & that moment marked the beginning of a fairy tale wedding. Mara’s talent & professionalism didn’t cease to amaze me. Her attention to detail made our wedding everlasting. From the flowers to the linens, menus, & romantic candles. I would never in my wildest dreams imagined what she created for us. There was no one person that attended the wedding that came to me to compliment me on the flowers & decorations & I have to say it was all because of Mara.

    Thank you Mara!

    Blanco by Mara made of our special day one to remember, our wedding decoration was beautiful!!! Mara and her team exceeded our expectations, everything was more perfect than what I envisioned. Something that I liked a lot was that she asked me to send her my Pinterest wedding decor board in order to have a clear idea of what I liked. Without doubts I would recommend Blanco by Mara to everyone getting married in PR.

    Mara did an amazing job at putting together the flowers and decor for my daughters dream wedding!! It was a challenge since my daughter lives in Florida and the wedding was in Puerto Rico but Mara did an exceptional job at taking what my daughter had requested and made it all come to life for a romantic beach wedding. I highly recommend her services to anyone whom is looking for a professional decorator who has a creative mind and can make anything to happen to make someones dream come true.

    Blanco by Mara made all my wedding dreams come true! She used my Pinterest wedding board to get an idea of what I was envisioning and she found invitations that were exactly what I wanted. She incorporated all my ideas beautifully. I wanted to live in the room she decorated for us. Everything was beautiful, the reception area, the guest tables, the bride and groom table and my favorite, the dessert table. Every time I turned around, I noticed something new that I loved.
    She captured everything I wanted perfectly, even though I live far away and couldn't personally meet with her until a few days before the wedding. She was very responsive through email and phone and was able to make some last minute changes.
    All of our guests were impressed with the flowers and decor and already one of them booked Blanco by Mara for her upcoming wedding!
    I would definitely recommend their services!!

    Thank God for Blanco by Mara and Ambiance Events. They were so responsive and flexible with all my changes. I changed my vision for the wedding a few times, and they were so patience and willing to do whatever I needed! The reception turned out perfectly and my flowers were absolutely gorgeous. The florist even texted me photos of the flowers the day before to make sure I was happy with them. I would highly recommend this company!

    Overall, the service provided by Blanco by Mara was excellent! They were very pleasing; always trying to look for ways to accommodate to my budget and my taste. I was very, very happy and satisfied with the decorations and flowers at my wedding. It all looked beautiful!!!
    They also prepared the invitations for my wedding. They were beautiful! They only thing was that I had to go back to their office because the invitations were missing a rhinestone that was included in the contract, but it was all corrected immediately. It happened also during rush time, but they responded and solved the problem quickly.
    I would definitely recommend their service!!

    Mara was our exquisite decorator for our ceremony, we wanted an upscale all white ceremony decor and she created a beautiful setting under an amazing chandelier at the hotel ballroom. It took my breath away the moment I walked in to see my guests and groom. It was such a rich and beautiful ceremony look, she created draping on our chivalry chairs that lined the aisle with beautiful white boxes filled with white and yellow flowers. All surrounded by candles, even as I write it I imagine it and transport myself back to it. It was truly a beautiful ceremony and Mara made everything I wished for come true. She is amazing at what she does and I just loved working with her. She helped me work out my concept, what I was going for and listened to all my input. She really has amazing taste and that is totally reflected in her work.
