Look no further, this is your florist! I gave Tracey a very limited explanation of our vision (forest wildflower) and she knocked it out of the park! I remain OBSESSED with my bouquet and even had it sent to be preserved after our wedding because I couldn't bear to part with it! All our guests were raving about the flowers throughout our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Tracey!

Working with Create with T was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, Tracey was so easy to talk to, highly professional, and incredibly helpful in clarifying and executing all of our ideas for the big day.
Since a family member of ours is local to the area, she worked closely with them to help bring our vision to life—and the final result exceeded every expectation I had. Leading up to the wedding, we had several questions and edits along the way, but she was always patient, responsive, and extremely easy to work with.
On the day of, she and her team did a magnificent job with all the florals and setup. I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Create with T to anyone getting married in the Tahoe area!

ocess feel easy, collaborative, and exciting.
One of our biggest goals was for the florals to enhance the natural beauty of Valhalla in South Lake Tahoe—and she absolutely nailed it. Everything felt organic, timeless, and like it truly belonged at Valhalla. The flowers blended so beautifully with the surroundings that they made the entire setting feel even more magical. I was especially obsessed with my bouquet. The moment it was placed in my hands was the moment I truly felt like a bride. It was everything I had envisioned and more.
Our florals completely exceeded our expectations, and we received so many compliments throughout the day. If you're looking for someone who truly listens to your vision and creates something that feels effortless, beautiful, and uniquely yours, Create with T is the one to hire!!!

If you are looking to hire a florist, look no further! Tracey and her team are amazing. She really goes above and beyond in every aspect start to finish.
I connected with Tracey ...
through email and she was so responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. I gave her an image of what we were kind of envisioning for the bouquets and she blew us away. I went back and forth and was a bit indecisive at times on deciding what we wanted. She was so patient and understanding and even gave some suggestions on how we could cut down costs in certain areas.
For example, we had decided no on doing an arch but felt like we needed a little something at the ceremony area; she gave a few suggestions and we were able to come to a great decision with two very large bouquets at the front. It was the best decision we could have made and I’m not sure if I would have made that same decision without Tracey’s guidance and experience.
In addition to being responsive, Tracey is happy to meet up as well. We ended up taking a trip to Tahoe and were able to stop by and meet her and chat about some last few details.
Tracey, thank you so much for everything. When I first walked in, I was waiting to walk down the aisle with my dad and we were both in awe. It was everything that I had dreamed of and more. Everything was beautiful; from the bouquets, to the arrangements in the reception, and the ceremony area. The day was truly magical. Matt and I will be forever grateful that you were a part of our day.

In planning our wedding, flowers was never really high on our list of priorities, so when we finally got around to booking our florist, my goodness, was I so very thankful that we ...
came across Tracey and Create with T.
When I tell you that Tracey NAILED our floral sections, she REALLY nailed it. We had a fall/rustic wedding that took place in South Lake Tahoe that was partially indoors and outdoors. We commissioned a floral piece for our hexagon-shaped arch, had mini bud vase centerpieces, a large garland that was used to frame our ceremony area, and other bunches, corsages, groomsmaid bouquets, and boutonnieres.
Tracey's initial floral proposal was right on the money in terms of creating the exact look and vibe that we were aiming for, and upon a few basic notes that we gave that more we planned together, we were confident that she would deliver exactly what we wanted. We were wrong. She EXCEEDED our expectations in every way. These floral creations were STUNNING. BOLD. and BEAUTIFUL.
I never thought that I (and my husband) would have our breath taken away, but there we were, a couple hours before the ceremony in sheer amazement at what her and her team put together. Create with T is a 10 out of 10 MUST recommended. If you live in Tahoe or the surrounding area, she IS exactly what you never knew you needed. We will be forever grateful that our photos will feature her superb artistry.

Tracey went about above and beyond for us. We planned to donate all our florals through a non profit that she works with....
Unknowingly, my bouquet was accidentally left at the venue to also be donated. She found my bouquet and brought it to me the day after the wedding.
I ended up having her preserve my bouquet after the wedding which turned out beautiful. I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or event that needs florals!

Tracey was great to work with, quick to respond, professional, and very talented at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone in the area!

n boards- Tracey really made this come to life. I couldn't recommend her and her team enough for any local Tahoe/Reno wedding! She was swift to accommodate month of changes and put her own flare on it knowing the rest of our wedding theme. We even had flower petals to toss as we exited the ceremony & her team stuffed them in the little mesh bags and placed the labels on them ahead of time so they were ready to place on wedding day. I honestly didn't even think of the florals on the wedding day and was so excited to look over the balcony and see the stunning tables coming to life! The arch- I have no words- the pictures prove it! Over above and beyond, I would have another event just to partner with her again! Thank you for truly making our wedding a vision & a dream come true!

Choosing Tracey as our Wedding Florist was hands down our best decision! She understood our vision, listened to our needs, handled our questions and concerns professionally and gra...
ciously put up with us changing details a multitude of times. She hopped on several phone calls with us months, then weeks and then days before hand to help us navigate the last finishing touches and calm our nerves. She sent us drafts of what flowers we wanted and she edited our proposal numerous times. On the day of our wedding I didn't get to see our circle wedding arch until I was walking down the aisle and when I finally saw my vision come to life I was absolutely speechless.
Her arrangements went above and beyond our expectations and blew us away!
I would absolutely use Tracey a million times over and recommend her to any soon-to-be Tahoe bride. You can tell she loves what she does and puts her heart into every detail. If you choose Tracey your wedding flowers will be in great hands!

She was there early, had the flowers ready to go for our photos and everything was done to perfection. I know a lot of people say don’t waste money on florals no one will remember them, not true if Tracey does yours. The flowers were the actual talk of the wedding! People are still talking about them, if you have the opportunity, go with Tracey. She makes your day even more special.

Something I really appreciated about Tracey was that she was so mindful of our budget and still confident that she could make all of our big vision come true within it. Even when she was evacuated due to a local wildfire, Tracey was emailing and coming up with as many alternative options as she could to be there for us and keep her commitment to us as our florist. And when inclement weather forced a venue change the morning of the wedding, Tracey didn't even flinch. She was so reassuring and positive and believe me when I say, she brought a dream wedding to life! She and her team went in blind to a totally different venue and setup, and you wouldn't even have known that wasn't the floral design she had been planning all along. We were the luckiest couple to have her as our floral vendor on such an important day!
I highly recommend Tracey and her Create with T team! ABOVE AND BEYOND!
