Rick and Elyse do it like no one else in the business. There is only one word to sum up their florals and floral design for our wedding: WOW. Just, wow. Even our wedding venue said it was the most beautiful chuppah (wedding arch) she had EVER seen (and took photos to show future brides). From the first meeting with Rick and Elyse we knew that we had picked the best vendor in Florida. They ran with our every idea, helping us navigate the complexities of a beach wedding (making expert suggestions on the right table sizes, how to work around wind and sand, etc.), and created wedding florals that completely blew us and our guests away. The photos speak for themselves - truly, show stopping. And kind to boot - every chance we had to come meet with the team we took it. Avant Gardens is the epitome of professional; they made the design of our wedding beyond our wildest dreams. Thank you, Rick and Elyse. We're saving our preserved flowers forever!

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!

Rick and his team never cease to amaze me at their ability to create exactly what my brides envision. Last night's wedding was so beautiful and his team that do the set-up bend over backwards to make sure everything is just perfect. Everyone was talking about how beautiful the decor was. Thank you once again!!

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!

Second wedding experience with Elyse and Avant Gardens Miami. My daughter's wedding 2.5 years ago and now my niece's wedding. Absolute experts, professionalism, beauty, quality, they take the worry out of the floral and decor aspect of weddings. They take your vision and the venue and put together an unforgettable floral experience. Can't wait for the next wedding or better yet, baby showers!

Everything about Rick and Elyse is amazing! From
Beginning to end of this process they answered and fulfilled all my questions and desires. I absolutely love them and what they stand for!!!

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!

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.

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!

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!
