Martha Bernyk, Floral Design

After researching and interviewing several florists for our winter Ritz Carlton wedding, Martha was by far the most innovative and flexible. At only 1 month left before the wedding, she was ready and willing to do whatever we requested (unlike some of the other florists). Her pricing was very reasonable and she asked all the questions needed of us and our other vendors to ensure that she not only created exactly what we hoped for, but made sure she got it at the best price. Our centerpieces involved her researching and ordering custom cut glass, our cocktail tables involved researching and finding real looking fake snow, and our floral arrangements involved working with the (apparently) extremely difficult shamrock that other florists wouldn't go near. Martha did it all with honesty about her concerns but willing to try whatever for us. And above all, everything turned out BEAUTIFULLY. She was a joy to work with and I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would love to use her again one day! PS It snowed heavily around our wedding date and Martha didn't falter in getting all of the supplies and flowers on time and up the steep hill to the Ritz without complaint!

My wedding date was August 5, 2010. I was an out of town bride getting married in South Lake Tahoe with no contacts in the area whatsoever. I relied completely on blogs, websites, and online reviews to find my vendors. Naturally, I was skeptical and afraid of what results I would get from making decisions via long distance. Choosing Martha as our florist was definitely in our top three best decisions for the wedding. I met with her only one time, about three months before the wedding day. I showed her pictures of my dream (overly expensive) flower arrangements, and told her what I definitely don't want. With our budget in mind, Martha was able to deliver top-notch, breathtaking centerpieces. My bouquet was even better than I imagined. She suggested ideas to keep our cost as close to our budget as possible without losing the "look" that I wanted. If I could do my wedding all over again, Martha would be the first vendor that I would book. Good luck to all you brides!

Martha is the best! I have been a floral designer and did not want the pressure of doing my own daughter's wedding. Working with Martha was so easy. She is creative, listened to our requests, and experimented with ideas. Her follow through was wonderful. In one long weekend she did 6 centerpieces for a bridesmaids luncheon on Thursday. Friday the rehearsal dinner had 14 large centerpieces plus smaller arrangements for the bathrooms and bar. Saturday there was groomsman's lunch. She also decorated a lodge for cocktails. For the wedding, she did the aisle decorations, the alter, 8 bridesmaids and the brides bouquet......hair decorations for the bride and maid of honor, 11 boutonnieres plus 26 tables which each had 3 centerpieces per table (that was over 68 arrangments) along with decorating the bride's cake, the grooms cake table and the escort card table....... Sunday, there was a send off brunch which had a large arrangement on the buffet table. She and her staff worked very hard and made the whole process so enjoyable! She gets an A+. Book her now!

The most responsive, forward thinking, flexible and creative florist in the area that I met! Amazing reputation and well deserved longevity in the community. Exceptional value and a true professional. There are not enough positive words to properly describe!

Martha is truly a talented and creative florist. She listened very carefully to what I wanted for my wedding flowers and they came out better than I imagined. I loved the flower arrangements and bouquets she designed and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a florist.
