The Hanging Gardens is unbelievably talented and unparalleled creatively and artistically in the Hampton Roads area! She takes your vision and makes it a reality. I worked with her on both my engagement pictures and bridal portraits and both turned out beautifully because of her genius. She is professional, easy to work with, and affordable. I wish I was getting married in Virginia Beach just so that I could book her for my wedding!

I first reached out to Viktoriya about two years now. I remember stumbling across her instagram account as I was looking for a florist and loving her unique floral work. I loved how they weren’t the traditional rounded boring bouquet. They had a unique structure, movement, multidimensional, and a work of art themselves. I immediately reached out to her. She was very quick to respond and hopped on a phone call to discuss my vision, preference, and theme I was going for. Through the craziness of the pandemic, she has been extremely accommodating and flexible with the multiple changes and I am thankful for that. We decided to do a mini ceremony this year on our orginial date and move our big reception to next year. WOW her floral work blew me AWAY! We decided to do a sunrise first look and my photographer suggested having a small bouquet to hold, but we didn’t want to ruin the one for the ceremony later that day. Viktoriya put together a beautiful bouquet that upon first seeing it, I thought it was the bouquet intended for the ceremony. WOW. She included my favorite flowers and nailed the white, creams, and pink theme I was going for. She also did our floral arch for the ceremony. It was very windy that morning while she was setting up the arch, but the arch came out just as beautiful. I would have never thought she worked against 20mph hour winds. I also got to be part of her styled shoot and holy cow, her work is STUNNING. She is not only thoughtful and creative, but really cares and takes the time to get to know you. She invested in us and we are thankful for that. Thank you for asking us to be apart of your vision for Fleur Avenue Events, it was an honor. If you are thinking of booking a florist, event planner, or both, BOOK HER.

First thing I would like to say is yay (!!!) for the florals and customer service Viktoriya provided to us. My husband and I had a small wedding reception with our closest family and friends in our favorite restaurant. We literally had one long table, so it felt like traditional and cozy italian wedding. A week before the wedding, we decided that we would like to have flowers to make our experience more full and complete. How do you find a florist a week before a wedding? Our photographer recommended a few florists from the area, and Viktoriya with The Hanging Gardens was one of them. We immediately fell in love with her design style! She literally turned around the whole thing in two days from the time we contacted Viktoriya for the first time and delivered absolutely breathtaking florals for our intimate wedding a week later. She made us very comfortable with all the urgency the situation and was amazing, easy, and sooo nice to deal with. I would highly recommend Viktoriya to all the local and not local brides who are looking for smooth service, communication, and oh-so-gorgeous and romantic florals for their wedding. Meeting people like Viktoriya truly makes you a happier person!
