My daughter’s late August wedding was just a week ago, and I can’t say enough about Florals by Adena and the absolutely gorgeous florals Adena designed and delivered for my daughter’s special day. Engage this woman and her team: You will be thrilled with the result! I found Adena online when a meeting with another floral designer was disappointing as the proposal was pretty “cookie cutter”. My daughter had a vision of a “gardenesque” wedding – lots of greenery with a sort of classic English garden vibe but didn’t have a lot of specifics in mind. We met with Adena and she just “got” the bride immediately. Her proposal was detailed and professional, and she struck the right balance between coaxing out my daughter’s vision while providing her own professional opinions and suggestions. Adena focuses on the natural. She has a sustainable approach and uses flowers that are in season. She even grows many of her own. Since the bride and groom are environmentally conscious, this approach was just icing on the cake. The entire process from proposal to contract to communication throughout my daughter’s engagement was seamless and top notch.

On the day of the wedding, I couldn’t believe how enchanting everything was. The bridesmaid bouquets were hand-tied and looked like someone wandered around and picked the most beautiful seasonal flowers you could find in a top-notch cutting garden. Same with the gorgeous bridal bouquet, corsages, and the boutonnieres. At the outdoor ceremony, in addition to lovely aisle pieces, Adena individually tied flowers and greenery to a wooden structure in such a way that they looked like they were growing there. The reception centerpieces looked almost like they were growing out of the center of the table with different roses and wildflowers and greenery presented in a fanciful way. Each was unique. Nothing but oohs and ahs from all the guests on the flowers, which were scattered throughout the venue, on the cake, etc.

Finally, Adena and her team delivered the flowers promptly on the wedding day, and the design set-up all ran incredibly smoothly. I didn’t worry about anything because Adena is such a consummate professional and engenders the utmost confidence. When she swept in with the personal flowers she was all smiles and so energetic! You could just feel she was genuinely happy for the bride.

I highly, highly recommend Adena and her team if you are looking for something just a little different but with a natural, “as far as you can get from artificial”, feel. What a wonderful experience! Worth every penny.

Working with Gardena Floral for our April 2025 wedding and rehearsal dinner was truly one of the best decisions we made during our entire planning process. She was, hands down, one of our favorite vendors to work with. From our very first call and venue walkthrough to the wedding day itself, Adena consistently exceeded our expectations in every sense. She was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful in every interaction. Her eye for design was amazing - the point where I often referred to her formal proposal when showing friends and family our wedding plans, and even used it as inspiration while working with our planner on the overall vision board. Adena was very proactive, clear, and responsive in all communication, which we especially appreciated given the evolving tariff situation. She was very collaborative when it came time to select upgraded rentals and incorporate personalized elements like a cake meadow and aisle decorations. Every detail felt intentional, cohesive, and beautifully executed. She went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, like including lilacs for my grandma and coordinating with a local non-profit so our arrangements could be repurposed for hospitals and assisted living communities after the wedding. Of all our vendors, I had so much confidence in Adena’s vision and execution. When I look back at wedding photos, I’m SO happy with how the floral details turned out, and there’s not a single thing I would have changed. We also got so many guest compliments on our florals. My only regret is not budgeting even more for flowers, because Adena’s work was truly that stunning!

I knew hiring Adena to create our floral arrangements for our wedding celebration was the right call, however I was still completely blown away by the attention to detail and creativity she put into each and every arrangement. The colors were spot on. It was whimsical, bright, and perfect for our special day. I gave her just a few ideas of what we wanted and told her I trusted her art completely. She nailed it!

I would absolutely recommend working with Adena for any event you may have approaching. She is easy to work with, so down to earth, and totally prioritizes making your floral dreams come to life!

Florals by Adena was by far the best investment during our wedding planning process. Adena knew how to turn our ideas into a proper vision, and consulted with us every step of the way. She delivered BEYOND our expectations. Friends and family who attended, as well as acquaintances who have seen pictures cannot stop commenting on how stunning our florals were. The florals Adena provided for us on our wedding day were not only stunning, but will forever be remembered by us.

We are beyond thrilled with the stunning floral arrangements Adena created for our wedding! Every bouquet, centerpiece, and floral detail was absolutely breathtaking — she took our vision and brought it to life in the most beautiful way. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she was also such a joy to work with throughout the entire planning process. She was warm, personable, and truly cared about making our day special.

Everything was set up perfectly and on time, and we received so many compliments from guests about how gorgeous the flowers were. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a florist who is creative, professional, and genuinely wonderful to work with.

I can’t say more amazing things about Adena!!! She is patient, talented and so creative. Wedding florals were a big deal to me because I wanted to bring in color to our venue and Adena did just that. She was patient with me when I changed my color scheme 5 times and put together a detailed proposal showing me my vision with inspiration photos each time I change my mind to confirm we were on the same page. Also, my guests were raving about the table scapes, she brought to much dimension to the room.

After my wedding I had no intention of preserving my bridal bouquet but after seeing it the day of my wedding, I changed my mind because it was so beautiful I wanted to have it forever!! If you have an opportunity to work with Adena I would highly recommend.

Coming into the wedding planning process, I felt a little lost. I didn’t have a clear vision of what I wanted especially for florals. I spoke with a few florist but Adena’s proposal blew me away. Throughout the whole process, she made it so easy. It was a joy to work with her and have our vision come to life. For my wedding day, she was able to create a whimsical, garden party of my dreams. She even made our dog, Theo, a floral collar for photos. I lost track of how many comments I received on the florals. Her style is truly unique and STUNNING. I will absolutely be working with Adena again for any of my floral needs!

Can't recommend Adena enough!! I feel so lucky to have found her! She truly made my vision come to life. I honestly had no idea where to start and felt so overwhelmed by the process. She made it so easy from our first consultation. She tried to work within my budget and kept it in mind, always offering suggestions on where we could scale back if needed. It was so appreciated! Multiple guests came up to me at my wedding just to comment on how gorgeous the flowers were. I have not been able to find any florist around here that matches her aesthetic plus she tries to support local growers and buys as much as she can locally. Love that!

Adena was a joy to work with!! She went above and beyond, and brought my vision to life for my baby shower. My friends and family were wowed and even requested to take the flowers home for themselves. Adena has vast knowledge when it comes to florals, selecting the right flowers that truly complement each other. I would use her services again and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a captivating floral arrangement.

11/10 I am truly blown away!! Adena has such an eye for design. Everything came out more beautiful than I my Pinterest board. Adena truly made our wedding day unforgettable, she captured my vision to a T. From my stunning bridal bouquet to the centerpieces, every detail was perfection. She went above and beyond to bring our vision to life, and her professionalism and expertise made the entire process seamless. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the beautiful blooms. Thank you, Adena, for adding such beauty and romance to our special day. We couldn't have asked for anything more!
