Martha Bernyk Floral Design

views, as well as through a referral from one of our venue's preferred florists (who was herself unavailable). When discussing what we were looking for via e-mail, I provided Martha a singular blog post of someone else's wedding to use as inspiration. She confirmed that she would be able to do it so we signed immediately. Communication lapsed after booking as there wasn't much to to be done in the months leading up to the big day. At a few weeks out, we were starting to get a little nervous until she arranged a call to go over the details. She was very responsive to our special requests and continuously checked in with us to see if there was anything else we'd like to highlight. It seemed that the original inspiration post was sufficient for her to understand our vision so we simply needed to supply our updated counts of guest tables, bouquets, etc. On our wedding day, I was floored by the flowers and arrangements that Martha provided. Everything looked perfect - the pale blush blooms matched our wedding colors exactly and the lush greenery fit right into our romantic wedding theme. My bouquet was full and in the cascading style that I requested. Our sweetheart table was adorned with a beautiful garland and she was able to move our ceremony arch to the reception venue so that we could enjoy those flowers longer. I'm not well-versed in the language of flowers, but Martha was able to create what I didn't even know I wanted! Numerous guests complimented our wedding flowers and we could not be happier with her work. If you are looking for a florist in the Tahoe area, we'd highly recommend that you place your trust in her!

onnieres were more beautiful than I could ever imagine.

to work with. I would highly recommend Martha Bernyk if you want amazing flowers!

on Truckee wedding and all that entailed. In total she provided flower arrangements for the dress rehearsal dinner (4 tables with 2 different themes), cocktail hour (about 6 high tops), every miscellaneous table in the reception tent (cake, bar, sign in, etc), flower petals for the aisles, flower petals for the flower girls, the ceremony arbor, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 3 parental boutonnières, and boutonnières for the groom and 4 groomsmen. She is an absolute dream to work with. Similar to what one of the other posters mentioned, it was a little difficult to make initial contact. However, I was warned ahead of time that she's really busy during wedding season. Most flowers are not ordered until about 10 days prior to your wedding. Her job includes some initial up-front prep, confirming a couple times (brides are accustomed to change their minds), then a mad crazy rush to the "finish line." She has a separate workshop from her office and might not hear the phone ring. Leave a message via email and be patient. She is definitely worth the wait. When I reviewed my vendor list with my venue and I mentioned Martha was my florist, the catering manager was visibly relieved and stated that she is the best florist in Tahoe and I was going to be well taken care of. (She does more than weddings but like I said, she's the best and has a busy schedule.) He didn't lie. When we met over the phone we discussed everything I knew I wanted 7 months prior: color schemes, flowers I liked, etc. I sent her a link to my Pinterest boards and then selected some of the favorites to narrow it down. With minimal direction from me (I like pretty flowers but I am definitely NOT a florist), she surpassed every expectation and dream I never knew I had. We spoke regularly over email up to the wedding. You know your florist knocked it out of the park when every. single. couple. that attended your wedding made sure to get their photo taken in front of the ceremony arch. Every couple!!!

on what she thought would work well and what wouldn't. She was even nice enough to bring the bouquets to our hotel for us. I would highly recommend her!

r with the results! My husband and I live in Texas but knew we wanted to get married in Lake Tahoe - Martha came as a recommendation from our wedding planners and we are forever grateful to them for introducing us! Martha and I met in person a few months before the wedding when my husband and I were in in Tahoe doing some final planning sessions with our wedding planners and it was such a great meeting. Martha really listened to what I had as a floral vision and stuck to my (not so huge) floral budget! We made all the floral decisions that day and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Martha has such a creative eye for floral design and you will NOT be disappointed if you hire her to help outfit your wedding day with beautiful arrangements!

w our venue and had great suggestions about what would work best. She was also great at suggesting a collection of types of flowers that would achieve both my vision and budget. At the last minute, I had some changes to our original order and she was very accommodating and everything came out perfectly. I literally had tears in my eyes when I walked into our reception room and saw how well it all came together. I would recommend working with Martha in a heartbeat - and in fact have already have to a colleague!

e was very helpful at suggesting flowers and helping us figure out what would work well. I am amazed how she was able to figure out what I was looking for when I barely knew myself! The bouquets, table settings, ceremony flowers were all amazing and were so "us." She was all over the little details too, like flowers for my hair, escort table, cupcake table - we even got complaints on the flowers in the bathroom! Thanks Martha!

bly priced. My bouquet lasted a week after the wedding!
