    The best of the best!

    TAKA IS THE BEST OF THE BEST! Not only did he perfectly capture my whimsical garden dreams, but he is seriously the sweetest person to work with!! I am a very picky bride, but that was no problem for Taka's skills because he nailed it! He really listened and took notes of every little detail so he could bring my vision to life. Not a single arrangement was left behind because all the guests were eager to take them home - we got so many compliments on how dreamy the florals made our wedding feel! He is truly one of the best vendors I could ever recommend!!!

    Working with Taka was a breeze!

    We felt confident throughout the whole process working with Taka on bringing my floral vision to life.

    Taka was patient when I could not find sample images exactly what I wanted and was able to take my inspiration and run with it!

    He was on time, professional, and the arrangements for our rehearsal dinner and wedding completely exceeded our expectations! I would recommend BeBuds to any of my friends or family for a wedding or special occasion.

    With my 1-year anniversary around the corner, this review is LONG overdue. I was looking at our wedding pictures recently, and am still blown away by how stunningly beautiful Taka's floral arrangements were. I come from a family of florists, so needless to say, my standards are very high. Taka did not disappoint. He was an absolute pleasure to work with - he was so accommodating in meeting with me and my mom (I lived on the East Coast at the time, and could only meet when I was visiting home) to discuss my ideas/vision. On my wedding day, he worked magic in seamlessly moving and setting up floral arrangements between the church and the reception venue. I still don't know how he did it. He is very professional and willing to work with you on finding solutions that meet your budget. I cannot speak highly enough of his work, and am so glad I found him. I HIGHLY recommend Taka to anyone getting married in the South Bay area/greater LA! Thank you so, so much for everything and for making my wedding day so beautiful!!!

    Taka is professional and knows what he is doing. I told him what the color and theme of my wedding over the phone. When I met with him for the first meeting, he has already had a mock-up ready for me. He paid attention to my needs and did a wonderful job for my wedding. The bouquets were beautiful and were delivered to the first look place ahead of schedule. The arch floral pieces and the isle floral arrangements were exceeding my expectations. The center pieces were gorgeous. The best of all is that his price was the lowest among the 4 vendors I contacted. I am extremely satisfied with his service.

    Taka at Be Buds is absolutely fabulous! Brides-- look no further!! He is a gem to work with and knows exactly how to create your vision through his artistry! We could not have been happier with the floral arrangements he designed for our daughters wedding! The blooms on the flowers were as big, magnificent, and perfect as they could be! All of his hard work set the tone for a beautiful evening we will fondly remember forever!!! Thank you so very much Taka!! What a pleasure it was for us to work with you!!!

    Amazing amazing amazing!!! Taka and his wife did an absolutely incredible job on our wedding flowers, we could not be happier! Taka was super nice and easy to work with from day one - he was patient, really listened to what we wanted, and made great suggestions when we asked for them. And when the big day came, we were blown away. He more than exceeded our expectations. Everything was GORGEOUS!!! We were getting compliments all day long, and are still getting compliments weeks later. We have friends who have paid TONS for flowers, and they didn't come close to how amazing Taka's flowers were - and at a fraction of the price. I seriously can't say enough about Be Buds Florist. Best ever!!!

    Brides, look no further. Be Buds Florist is the BEST in the business. Taka is AMAZING! Taka truly seems to love what he does and has such a skill at making beautiful flower arrangements. His prices are definitely reasonable. I think we actually got MORE than what we paid for. And, when do you ever get to say that when planning a wedding! :) From day one, he was a breeze to work with. During our planning meeting he took notes, asked questions, and even pulled up my Pinterest page to better understand my style/look and feel of the wedding and make sure he was on point, which he was. The bouquets turned out better than I had imagined. And I received countless compliments on all arrangements at my wedding. THANK YOU TAKA for making my wedding day beautiful!

    Taka at BeBuds florist, made the most gorgeous flower arrangements, for my daughter's wedding, at a very affordable price. He was generous as well, and gave us some flowers at no charge. The table centerpieces were incredible and all the personal touches were amazing. We had rose petals, in a beautiful design, going down the aisle. There were extra flower arrangements that were so elegant, in strategic places. The bride's and bridesmaid's bouquets were exquisite. I would recommend BeBuds to anyone needing flowers for any important event.

    My wife and I love Taka. His work is amazing. Looking back at our wedding pictures and videos, his flowers truly stand out. We didn't get a chance to take it all in on your wedding day. However, when we looked back on your special night through our wedding photos, we were blown away as to the quality and presentation of the flowers. That's when it hit us that our wedding florist is something special. One truly does not fully appreciate his vendors until after the wedding. Thank you Taka.

    Be Buds did an amazing job for us. We met with Taka twice even though we live in Philadelphia. He was very accommodating since we had only small windows when we were available. He has a ton of great ideas, and he really works to understand what you are looking for. He saved us probably 30%+ on the price of our flowers with a couple great ideas, so it is clear that he is focused on giving you the best experience possible. The flowers were perfect! We got so many compliments on how amazing everything looked! Taka was in and out the day of the wedding with no problems. I would definitely recommend Be Buds to anyone getting married in SoCal.

    Taka did the flowers for our wedding at La Venta Inn and we could not have been happier. He was very professional throughout the planning process, responsive to any of our questions in a good amount of time, and most importantly, everything was set up perfectly before we even got there on the day of. The centerpieces were set up perfectly, all of the bouquets looked fresh, full, and well assembled. Great job Taka, thank you!

    Taka is the best! I love his work. He is so professional. Also, his price is reasonable. He even decorated my cake and provided my flower girl's headpiece as a gift. I actually chose one of the cheapest centerpiece (had to cut my budget) and was worried at first that it's not going to be nice. But when I saw at my wedding, blew me away. My guests also loved them.

    Be Buds did such a fabulous job at my wedding! Taka was a true professional and made my vision come to life. He is so knowledgable and an absolute artist. He is so passionate about his craft and it shows in his work! The flowers turned out gorgeous and was exactly what I wanted. He is also very reasonably priced and is worth every penny! Thank you again Taka!

    I was referred to BeBuds by my friend. BeBuds does an amazing job and would recommend this florist to anybody who is getting married. They're really a hidden treasure and I received so many compliments on my wedding flowers. The owner is extremely flexible, non-intrusive, and very professional. He's very calm, easy to work with, and you really get so much more than what you signed up for because the delivery is executed beyond your expectations!

    The quality of the flowers provided and the preparation was simply nothing short of perfect.

    Taka and his team did an outstanding job in accommodating all our requests. My wife is crazy about flowers and she could not have been happier with the results. From the arch for the ceremony, to the table settings and the custom cascade bride boquet everything was 1st class.

    Taka was incredible to work with! He came highly recommend by our wedding venue staff at La Venta Inn. After reviewing his website and seeing the beautiful creations at our venue specifically- I knew that Bebuds was the right chioce! My wedding was a destination wedding, so I was not able to physically visit with Taka before the wedding to plan details. Between many emails and phone calls- Taka brought all of my ideas and visions to life! The bouquets, the cake, the gazebo, the centerpieces, and the water fountain were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I sent Taka pictures of flowers and images that I liked....and he went above and beyond to create floral arrangements that everyone was talking about throughout the evening. Not only are Taka's floral arrangements breathtaking, but his prices are very reasonable. I had a few family members make comments that we must have spent a fortune on the flowers! Little did they know- we didn't! Taka was worth ever penny! I would highly recommend Taka and BeBuds Florist to others. Taka is professional, creative, and incredibly easy to work with.
    Thank you, Taka, for making our wedding day so beautiful!

    First of all, considering the quality and quantity of Taka’s work, Taka’s prices were extremely reasonable. Second of all, I cannot say enough about how beautiful all of the flowers were at the wedding. From the bouquets to the alter pieces to all the little extras, Taka’s flowers were out-of-this-world gorgeous. Taka interpreted our vision perfectly and all of his work complimented and enhanced our theme. People were literally fighting one another to take the centerpieces home (even though we had a give-away game!). I would HIGHLY recommend Taka and will use him again for future events.

    Be Buds was referred to me by a friend who used their service in his own wedding, and I'm glad I took the advice. Planning my wedding from 3,000 miles away was not a fun task. However, Taka made it easy for me when it came to all flower decisions.

    Taka was very knowledgeable in his craft and candid with his feedback. Through emails, pictures, and phone calls, I felt that Taka understood exactly what I was looking for. He also was very respectful of my budget and worked with me to maximize my wish list. I truly felt that I was working with someone that cared about me a lot more than his profit.

    The final results were truly wonderful. I only wish I was able to bring the flowers on the plane with me so I can enjoy them more than one night!

    Taka is truly a floral magician. He can take any flower and make it look amazing! He was such a pleasure to work with and was able to do everything that I asked. Our bouquets, centerpieces, head table arrangements, etc., turned out amazing! I would refer BeBuds Florist to anyone. He is truly an amazing florist and a master of his craft.

    I read a bunch of reviews online and decided to meet with two florists. I was planning my wedding from across the country, so I only had a small window to actually meet with vendors in person. After about 5min with Taka, I knew I wanted to hire him, even though I had no idea how much it would cost. He is super nice and helpful and has great ideas. I didn't have much of a vision for the flowers, so he just walked through a few ideas and ended up outlining everything in about 30min or so. The best part is... the estimate was incredibly reasonable. He also threw in some free items and gave us ideas for how to bring the cost down a bit. Taka is really incredible. You should absolutely hire him!

    Working with Taka from BeBuds Florist was a wonderful experience. I could not have been happier with the flower arrangements he did for my wedding. I would recommend him 100%!
    1)He is prompt, efficient, polite, friendly, organized, knowledgeable, and patient.
    2)He pays attention to details.
    3)His prices are reasonable.
    4)He was able to show me some samples of flowers at his studio. This was very helpful, since I know very few flowers by names.

    Taka at Be Buds did a great job with our flowers! He worked with my very small budget and produced some outstanding pieces. We were VERY happy with the floral arrangements, bouquets and boutinnierres. Taka has a very clean aesthetic that worked well with the style of our wedding. Most of all, I appreciated all of the personal attention I received from him. He returns calls and emails promptly, and really provided us with outstanding customer service, which was why we decided to hire him over other qualified florists. Highly recommend!

    Taka! I don't even know where to begin this review. Whether it is his talent, his sweet, polite and patient personality, he has it all. Each session, phone call or email with Taka put me at ease. By far, he is my favorite vendor I hired. And I love each and every one of my vendors. Taka always assured me that everything will look how I imagined. In this case, it came out even better then I have ever dreamed. Each thought of mine and each excitement of mine showed throughout the ceremony and reception. My bouquet was a dream. My bridesmaids looked spectacular. Taka, you are an amazing florist and an amazing person. I can't tell you THANK YOU enough! I hope this review reaches to all the brides out there, you will not have any regrets with Taka!!!

    I do not have enough good things to say about Taka, owner of BeBuds Florist Inc.!!! Taka took my very vague ideas and turned them into masterpieces and the best part was that it was all done at a very reasonable price!!! Taka is very professional and easy to work with. He made finding the perfect wedding flowers for my venue and bouquets so easy!!! I didn't even know I liked flowers this much until I started working with Taka and saw the final product! Literally everyone at the wedding complemented me on our table centerpieces and reception flower accents!! Love, love, love!!! Thanks Taka!!!
