Allen and his team were incredible. He took time to plan out what we wanted based on photographs- and always kept within the budget and truly provided us with more than I ever thought our budget could showcase in flowers. He met with us about a month prior to the wedding to show us 3 centerpiece examples and my bouquet example. They were able to reuse my flowers from the church at the reception, and from the reception to our breakfast the following morning. We couldn't be more pleased with his artistic gift and every interaction we had. Many compliments from guests!!!

Every interaction and encounter with Allen was professional, laid-back and friendly! Even though it didn't work out to see a real-live example of my wedding flowers, the flowers were exactly what I described! Allen worked with us to make sure we stayed in our budget, no pressure added to spend more money! Everything was perfect.

We were more than pleased with Avant Gardens. Alan and his team were efficient and knew exactly what they were doing. We planned our State College wedding from South Jersey, so my flowers were actually planned via email and turned out better than I could have imagined. They transported everything perfectly on time. Pricing was great too. I HIGHLY recommend Avant Gardens for the perfect flowers, fitting of your special day!

Avant Garden is an amazing florist and was one of the best decisions that I made for my wedding day! Working with Al was an amazing experience. His knowledge and expertise really helped me to organize my thoughts and pinpoint my many ideas.

I came to him with a Pinterest board full of ideas and he was able to sit and look through all of my pins with me. He took all of my ideas and was able to create the most beautiful floral arrangements that I ever seen! Everything was perfect and amazing.

I could not have asked for a more amazing florist! My wedding day was perfect and beautiful thanks to Avant Garden!

Beautiful and breathtaking!! We are in love with all the flowers and the quality of Bil's craftmanship! He did an amazing job... and will only look to him for any future services needed!!

The flowers for my daughter's wedding were beautiful - from the ceremony site, brides/bridesmaids flowers, boutineers to the reception flowers. Alan was wonderful to work with and was able to transform my daughter's vision to reality.

Avant Garden did a spectacular job on our wedding flowers and reception centerpieces! We met with Allen several times over the course of our one-year engagement to discuss flower colors and varieties. It was always a pleasure talking with him. He is very friendly and knowledgeable, and he took a personal interest in our event. The day of the wedding, I arrived early at the church with my bridesmaids, and we were all so impressed with the beautiful arrangements that Avant Garden provided. The bouquets were stunning, as were the altar arrangement and the aisle markers for the pews. Likewise, the reception venue was absolutely elegant, thanks to the gorgeous centerpieces! The best part of all was that Allen had created all of those arrangements on our limited, grad student budget! I strongly recommend Avant Garden to anyone planning a wedding in the State College area. You will not be disappointed!

Flowers were prefect and BEAUTIFUL!! The staff was very easy to work with and welcoming. I was kind of worried about the flowers because you only go and say what you want and look at pictures. I told them exactly what I wanted and how I wanted them and they went above and beyond all my expectations; the bouquets were gorgeous! I would highly recommend them!!

Beautiful flowers and centerpieces just like I had envisioned. The owner even suggested rental baskets for our ceremony since we only needed them for a few hours. Great money saver with the rentals, excellent staff.

beautiful designs and great service! Would def reccomend to anyone who's getting married in this area to use Avant!
