    Don't use anyone else!!

    Rick and his team did an amazing job. The decorations and flowers were perfection and exactly what we wanted. It was great working with them, they are a truly great organization and I wouldn't recommend using anyone else!

    Avant Gardens made our wedding look like a dream!

    Avant Gardens was extremely easy to work with and truly listened to everything I asked for. They created exactly what I had in mind for our decor and florals. It was even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I recommend Avant Gardens wholeheartedly!

    Do not look any further, this is it.

    My husband and I were super lost on how we wanted our flowers to look for our wedding. Elyse sat with us and showed us countless photos with so much patience and kindness at her office that we decided to cancel future meetings with any other flower vendors right after. Please do not look any further. The whole avant gardens team was so amazing in every way. They responded to all of our emails and texts super promptly and always made sure that we were happy and satisfied. They even put together a floor plan for us at our ballroom!!! They did this so that we could picture how everything would look. Simply an amazing team! Thank you Elyse, we will be forever grateful!

    My wedding floral dream come true

    Before planning my wedding, I knew absolutely nothing about flowers. Elyse at Avant Gardens was so kind and helpful. She took the time and patience to meet with me right away to see and hear my desires and walked me through photos of countless flowers – explaining, naming, pricing, describing, and putting together what would be my dream bouquet. Elyse was great at responding promptly to emails. Avant Gardens also has extensive selections of rentable centerpieces, candles, and is basically a one stop shop for elegant wedding décor. She was very patient with me, rescheduling when I needed to at the last minute, and allowing me ample time and space for my indecisiveness on centerpieces. She listened to my every request no matter how small & ensured our centerpieces and bouquets were just as I’d envisioned and communicated. She even took the time to hand deliver my bouquet to me herself on my wedding day, which meant so much after all the work we’d done together leading up to the big day. Looking at the flowers brought me tears or joy and I won’t soon forget how I felt with that bouquet in my hands or the perfection of the floral arrangements that filled our reception room exactly how I’d dreamt of. Highly recommend and I look forward to being a return customer.

    Love love love!

    Elyse was the first and only florist I spoke with that I felt comfortable after our initial conversation. She understood my very specific vision and was a true gem throughout the entire process. She and her team did an absolutely amazing job at my wedding and we have received so many compliments about how our floral was elegant and classy. Every single thing that was on my wish list she made happen. I was honestly floored. Standing during my ceremony, I kept thinking about how refreshing the roses smelled and how it looked just how I envisioned. So, so glad I chose Avant Gardens. Throughout our wedding, we made several changes due to family emergencies and they worked with us the entire time. If I did it all over again, she would be a vendor I would absolutely choose again. Thank you so much!

    Islamorada Wedding at Pierre's

    Avant Gardens is amazing!!!! By far the best florist we have ever used. They did all of our florals for our wedding in the Keys and it was absolutely breathtaking. Rick went on my Pinterest to visualize what kind of florals I liked, and then brought to life my floral DREAM!!! He completely transformed a clear tent into a magical arrangement of florals, from the long running leaf/floral centerpiece for our 34 person head table, to the gorgeous standing floral centerpieces on all of our round tables. The best part about it all was the stunning floral chandelier he created to hang from the middle of our tent. All I had to do was tell him my vision, and he brought it to life. My bouquet was also everything I could have wanted plus more. We can't thank Avant Gardens enough for the most beautiful florals we have ever seen!

    Avant gardens was one of the preferred vendors through my venue. I went with them over another one because they are more creative and modern. They totally nailed it with our flowers, they were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! We got so many compliments!! They also made us a beautiful arch for our ceremony with draped fabric that withstood a monster storm right before our ceremony!! Elyse was great to work with from start to finish! Would totally recommend!!

    Avant Gardens was simply amazing. I met with 5 vendors and Elyse and Rick crushed it. Arrangements were enormous, fresh and creative. Every single guest approached me to ask who did our flowers?! Their ability to truly listen and interpret our vision, the QUALITY of the blooms and greenery were incredible. They delivered early and had it set up and ready so that I felt relaxed. We really felt like Elyse became part of our family. Avant Gardens gave us that wow factor that we wanted with a level of service that was unexpected. I wish we could airlift them to our home town.

    Rick and Elyse did an amazing job with the center pieces for my reception. They interpreted my theme exactly and everything turned out more amazing than I could have imagined. During my initial interview with them they were very detailed in explaining to me the type of flowers he anticipated to use. They were also very wiling to work with my budget and made helpful suggestions on how to stay within it without compromising quality. The flowers were of superior quality; they were so fresh they smelled wonderful! Most importantly Rick and Elyse were very professional; they answered all of our emails in a timely fashion and reviewed my order several times to ensure everything would be perfect for the wedding. They have a very positive attitude and were a pleasure to work with. If you go with them you will not be disappointed!!!

    The flowers for my son's wedding were exquisite. Everything was fresh, the design of the centerpieces, the chuppah arrangements, and all the small set ups for the bars, the place card table, and more were gorgeous. Orchids, calla lilies in purple and blues were simply beautiful. The glass containers and candle holders had lights and floating orchids. Truly breathtaking. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you. Rick was great to work with and the set up at the venue was seamless. review written by Mother of the Groom

    We loved working with Rick and the team at Avant Gardens. During our first meeting with Rick we showed him a photo of a bouquet that I really loved, and right on the spot he was able to identify all of the flowers. He also took the time during that meeting to get to know us and our vision. Most importantly, he was able to actualize our vision for our wedding. Everything was gorgeous and exceeded all expectations. And I cannot even begin to tell you how many compliments I received on the florals and our chuppah.
    I would highly recommend Rick and the team at Avant Gardens to anyone looking for a floral and décor company that is easy to work with, flexible, extremely knowledgeable and creative. I cannot thank them enough for making our wedding beautiful.

    Rick and the Avant Garden’s team created the most beautiful flowers for our outdoor beach wedding. From the arch of flowers we got married under to the stunning garden reception he was able to create, our wedding would not have been the same with out his attention to detail and eye for design. Throughout the entire planning process Rick was available and easy to get ahold of. He took the time to call and speak with us on the phone, describe flowers and pitch ideas he felt would look good in our space. We are so thankful we trusted Rick and the Avant Garden’s team to make our beach wedding dream a reality.
