We had the pleasure of working with Wilder Garden and Flowers for our October 2023 wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Alex was a dream to work with – incredibly easygoing and attentive. Her ability to transform our vision into stunning floral arrangements was truly impressive. The flowers were not only beautiful but also added that perfect touch of elegance to our special day. Highly recommend Wilder Garden and Flowers for their professionalism and exquisite floral design.

Alex is truly a flower queen and the ultimate hype woman. From the very beginning, she made me feel so at ease—she’s kind, accommodating, and incredibly talented. She really listened to what I envisioned and somehow made it even more beautiful. Always on time, super responsive, and just a joy to work with. I felt in such good hands every step of the way. Highly recommend to any bride looking for someone who gets it and makes magic with flowers!

We used Alexandra for our wedding in the Finger Lakes region and had a fantastic experience. She has a unique eye and really made our vision of greenery and soft, natural florals come to life. She was incredibly accommodating and imaginative. We trust her taste completely. We were on a budget and she managed to make the place look we weren't!

Can’t imagine our wedding photos without these beautiful, sophisticated and artful flowers! Alex was a pleasure to work with and delivered flowers that were better than I could have dreamed up.

When planning our wedding we had no idea how to talk about flowers. But during our first phone call with Alex, she took time to listen to our half-baked idea and proved herself to be a fantastic creative collaborator through the entire process of designing and executing our floral arrangements. We wanted something simple yet unconventional, and romantic but not frilly and she just nailed it. When we talked about our fall beach wedding and our interest in dry flowers, she described a table scape as “a walk in the dunes”, which totally captured our imagination. She’s got a great eye for making arrangements that look both organic and artful. On the day of our wedding, I woke up to find Alex and her team putting together the table scapes. And they were such perfect manifestations of our conversations that, embarrassingly, I burst into tears. Alex also went above-and-beyond to make sure our chuppah didn’t blow away on the beach. We feel so lucky to have been able to work with her and hope to find ways to do it again in the future.

I didn't know much about flowers, but I knew I wanted my flowers to be joyful, bright and happy to set the tone for our wedding day. Alex studied the random photos I shared with her and made a vision I could not fully see come to life in the most spectacular way. A few months before the wedding, she and her wonderful team set up some sample tables in our venue and I couldn't believe how much she "got" me. She was so open to feedback and coming up with fun and creative ideas. On the actual wedding day I could not believe how beautiful everything came out. When the bouquets came to my room I shrieked — they were so cool and stunning I was in disbelief. Seeing all of the flowers set up in the venue was an whole other experience. I felt like I was dreaming. Then I saw the incredible moss she anchored our chuppah with — something I had overlooked and not put much thought into — and I felt like the luckiest person in the world. Alex made our wedding SO beautiful, and every time I look back at photos, the flowers' vibrancy represents how my husband and I felt that entire day. She is magic (and so sweet and supportive), and you couldn't go wrong with her as your florist!

Don't go anywhere else for flowers. Alexandra is a kind of wedding whisperer. She listened carefully to the sophisticated style and mood I wanted to set at my wedding and put together a gorgeous proposal that essentially channeled my wishes. When we met in her studio, it was clear she had thought hard about the place where I was going to get married, and how to make it more beautiful. At the wedding, lots of people commented on my dress. But more of them commented on the flowers, including the ones Alexandra arranged for my hair. Thank you, forever, Alexandra.

Alex was incredible throughout my entire wedding planning process. I got married in October 2017 in NYC and after securing the venue, Alex was my second call! It was a true collaboration - she listened to all my ideas, my vision for the night and completely brought it to life. She always gave her honest opinion and made sure to be at every meeting. She was such a lovely person to communicate with and I can't wait to plan another event so I can hire her again!

Alex Abuza made all my floral dreams come true, and she'll do the same for you! Her work transformed my wedding into a beautiful landscape that, months later, I'm still getting compliments on from friends & relatives. I'm also a wedding planner by trade, and I've trusted Alex & her reliable team to make my clients' weddings beautiful for a number of years now-- she ALWAYS DELIVERS (and makes me look good!), so I've seen first hand the wide range of styles she can pull off with grace and ease.

When it came time to get married myself, I had a very unique vision for the wedding and I knew Alex was the perfect person to tackle floral. She took our Purple Rain inspiration and created a magnificent flower wall ceremony backdrop that looked EXACTLY like the back of the album cover. We were stunned by its beauty upon entering the space, so much so that when I saw how fabulous the wall was, I asked that we use it as the backdrop for our GIF Booth as well! While hiding out waiting for the ceremony to start, I heard comments and audible gasps from entering guests about how special the wall was. As if that weren't enough, she also made me the most gorgeous overflowing bouquet studded with bright pops of color that photographed like a dream against my dress and matched my untraditional affair perfectly.

I have had the pleasure of working with Alex both as a client and as a planner for other clients, and I can say with certainty you won't find a vendor who is a better listener, is easier to work with, or has greater vision than Alex Abuza. Your search for a florist stops here!

I cannot recommend working with Alex highly enough. Alex is one of the loveliest and most thoughtful people I've ever met. She is also beyond talented. To say that I LOVED discussing the aesthetic of our wedding with Alex is a massive understatement. From our first phone conversation, to our subsequent site visit, to our final meeting where Alex put together an arrangement and my bouquet -- I was blown away by her work, focus, talent, and vision. She's also SO cool it's crazy. You will come out of your wedding day wishing for ways to work with Alex again! Alex’s profound understanding of color, flowers, and plants combined with her incredible vocabulary and artistic vision permitted her to turn my dreamy impressions of what I wanted my wedding to look and feel like into a coherent vision that far exceeded my wildest expectations.

Our guests, men and women alike, are still gushing about Alex’s work. Alex created another world. I spent years obsessively pinning pictures of floral arrangements I loved, but what Alex created brought me to tears. She’s truly incredible. I felt as though I had stepped into some kind of magical world the night of our wedding. Even better than what I dreamed!

It’s also important to note that Alex is beyond wonderful to work with; she’s accommodating, clever, competent, confident, organized, and a true problem-solver. She worked within our budget, and helped me figure out where to add drama and when to scale back. She created an autumnal wonderland without a pumpkin or gourd in sight!
