Florist/Designer of My Dreams

I was searching all over the Hampton Roads area for a floral designer who could bring my non-traditional, whimsical, modern and sculptural floral dreams to life. When I came across Vika’s Instagram page, I knew she’d be able to create something different and special. She is extremely trustworthy, communicative and dedicated not only to bringing ideas to life, but going above and beyond with her unmatched creativity! My jaw was on the floor when I walked into my reception space. It was so beautifully done and I would recommend her to anyone I know. If you’re on the fence about booking her, this is your sign to do so! You won’t be disappointed, and it’ll exceed all expectations!

Saved the day!

Thank you to Viktoriya. I was in a panic when my original florist bailed on me 2 months before my daughters out of town wedding! I found Viktoriya on the internet and gave her a call. Lucky me! I didn’t know what to expect and Viktoriya was kind and professional from the start. With only 2 months to go, I was in a panic. I had the attitude, it is what it is. Well, how lucky did I get. She did a beautiful job with both the bridal flowers and reception flowers. The tables looked elegant and classy. The bridal flowers were just what we wanted subtle, beautiful and elegant. Viktoriya is exceptional. She has an eye for anything beautiful. I wish I had found her sooner and used her from start to finish! It would have made the wedding planning a lot less stressful. Fleur Avenue Events stands out from the crowded wedding space. She is beyond exceptional and I was lucky to have found her. Much success!

Wedding Florist of my Dreams!

Flowers are the most important part of decor for any wedding. From our first phone call to an immediate follow up email, Viktoryia was extremely knowledgeable and professional but most importantly very organized and her attention to detail is outstanding. She completely captured my vision and was by my side for not only the floral process but the wedding planning as well! She helped guide me to bring everything together to flow perfectly. I dont even have words for how beautiful the flower arrangements were but the entire wedding everyone was obsessing over them! She is truly a gem in this industry and anyone who has worked with her is lucky enough to know that. She truly has a special talent and I feel so fortunate we were able to work with her! I can not wait to have another event so we can work with Viktoryia again!
