A Bud & Beyond

I was not expecting it to be easy to plan a Lake Tahoe wedding from Texas. However, as soon as I saw A Bud & Beyond's website I knew I had found a potential florist. I contacted Christina and she was quick to respond and very easy to communicate with. She was willing to meet with me when I took a trip to Tahoe during wedding season and put me at ease about the entire process of choosing arrangements and decorations. I showed her a few pictures of what I had been thinking for the reception and she immediately had ideas and suggestions that fit my vision perfectly! My bouquet was gorgeous and when we walked into our reception I was overwhelmed with how everything had turned out. Christina exceeded my expectations and literally went "above and beyond!" I could not have imagined the room to look more amazing and we were given so many compliments from guests about the centerpieces and flowers. Thank you Christina for helping to make my wedding day so perfect!

There is not enough I can say about A Bud and Beyond and Christina!!!! The flowers for my wedding were absolutely amazing - and perfect. Christina was lovely to work with, available whenever I needed her, and was very helpful in customizing what I wanted for the wedding to fit within my budget. I spoke with numerous florists in the Lake Tahoe and Reno area - and was getting very nervous about if I would ever find the perfect person to do my flowers. I felt that the other florists I spoke to were a bit old fashioned - and not really getting it. Christina got it 100%!! I had given her some mode boards to show my vision for the wedding - and she surpassed what I had ever dreamed!!! The flower arrangements were stunning. They were EXACTLY what I wanted. People still comment to me about how beautiful the flowers were - and were blown away!!! Thanks christina for making our wedding so beautiful!!!! You rock!!!

A Bud and Beyond helped me plan my destination wedding without even an in-person meeting. Their work was absoultely outstanding. I told Christina what I like, the look I wanted to go for, and she provided beautiful flowers, linens, and decorations for me. So many of my wedding guests commented that my wedding was the most beautiful they had been to. Christina is very creative, and helped create just the feel and ambiance I was aiming for. She is also very attentive and easy to reach. I would highly recommend A Bud and Beyond!

Christina at A Bud and Beyond is simply AMAZING!!!!!! She completely nailed my style and put my ideas into something amazing. Not only that, she thought of every little details to make it just perfect. She was by far my biggest help along the way. The flowers were everything I could have hoped for and more. Linens, chairs, accessories.....it was all just PERFECT!!!! I couldn't recommend A Bud and Beyond enough!!! You will not be disappointed!!!!

Christina with A Bud & Beyond was great. She handled my flowers and all of my decorations. She responded fast to any questions and went out of her way to help me with my wedding. She even gave me advise on questions not regarding flowers or decorations! We shipped some memorial vases and she let me know the day of travel they were not going to make it.....she went out of her way to help us! We would recommend her to anyone needing her services.

Christina did an amazing job of bringing the vision in my head to life. She had great suggestions and I felt she really understood the look and feel I wanted for my wedding. It turned out absolutely beautiful and I loved everything she did. She was flexible in staying close to a budget. My only disappointment was that I didn't realize until the wedding day that the boutonnieres were missing, they had been taken out to stay in price range. Overall, I was very pleased with her work.

A Bud & Beyond provided the Bouquets, Table Arrangements and Aisle decorations for our wedding at Painted Rock Lodge in Lake Tahoe. Everything was absolutely gorgeous!!

I could not have asked for a more helpful, organized, responsive and knowledgeable person to work with than Christina at A Bud and Beyond. The flowers and the décor for the ceremony and the reception were amazing. All of the little touches she suggested really brought everything together. The A Bud and Beyond crew really made everything so beautiful and the best part was the peace of mind I had knowing that Christina had it all handled and I didn't have to do a thing the day of the wedding!

Christina was beyond amazing. She was incredibly responsive, and I really appreciated her willingness to meet with us multiple times to ensure that my mother was able to voice her opinion. Christina handled both the decor and flowers for our wedding and everything looked amazing. The flowers were exactly what we discussed but Christina added little touches that exceeded my expectations. I can't recommend her enough!

As a bride planning a destination wedding, I was a bundle of nerves trying to find a florist and decorator to execute my dream day. Christina Averkin and A Bud & Beyond is exceptional in making your dreams come true. She not only prepared all of the flowers for the wedding, but also coordinated the draping, chairs, linens and more. She is a 1-stop shop for a dream wedding.

Christina did an amazing job on the flowers for our wedding. She made planning a destination wedding in Tahoe a painless process. Without even meeting in person, and only through emails and pictures sent back and forth, she created gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces for our event. We were on a tight budget and Christina provided great money saving ideas and was flexible with us with last minute additions to the invoice. I highly recommend Christina!

The flowers for my wedding completely exceeded my expectations. Christina has a real talent and a great eye for design. She captured the modern feel that I wanted and created beautiful bouquets and reception centerpieces that I could never have come up with myself. The flowers were fresh and stayed this way throughout the entire night. I would highly recommend A Bud & Beyond.

Christina did a wonderful job with our flowers for the wedding. She also accommodated a last minute request for rose petals on the aisle, which she laid out for us. She also provided me with a couple of ideas for flowers in my price range and delivered the bouquets to the hotel room. My only regret is that I didn't pay for the time to meet with her and see what flowers she was going to use and the exact color. The bouquets were beautiful, but not quite what I had imagined.

I hope we have the right place....hehehehe but our flowers were so wonderful, I can still imagine the smell and that was in 2008! Great company to deal with. Thank you!

Beautiful flowers! She is easy to work with and understands your vision. A little overpriced, but it is Incline Village.
