My wedding ceremony was at the Biltmore Courtyard and Reception in the Alahambra Ballroom. When I met Rick 5 months before my wedding, I had a semi-clear idea of what I wanted. After showing Rick a variety of my samples and ideas cut out from magazines and saved from various websites, Rick immediately started to ask the right questions and we came to a mutual understanding through his suggestions tailored to my ideas and requests. And what happened on my wedding day was better than I could have ever dreamed. He created a gazebo that was taken out of a page of Shakespeare's "Midnight Summer Dream." The lanterns and chairs used were stunning. The patio area where the cocktail reception was held was transformed into a European piazza. Old worldly, casual and sophisticated all at the same time. And the ballroom was magical. Each table had a giant candlelabre with flowers, greens, and then the table was filled with candles and rosebud vases. Avant-Gardens made my dream wedding come true.

Avant Gardens did such a fantastic job! My centerpieces and bridal bouquets came out perfect. Trusting someone with your vision is the hardest part, and Rick got my vision and then some. His team did a great job and he was present the day of my wedding. I told him exactly what I wanted, and he delivered. He was patient trying to get our vision, and then offered fantastic suggestions that I never would have though of. Our Chuppah looked beautiful with the cascading Orchids he recommended adding. Thank you!

Avant Gardens is the most creative, inspiring design company. I trusted Rick wholeheartedly in the design of our event, he understood my desire for non-traditional, fun, unique. I honestly gave him a color palette some obscure thoughts and he ran with it and I never questioned it. To say I loved it is an understatement. There is nothing that Rick cannot accomplish, and he does it with this amazing sense of calm & ease that I wish I could learn!! Love Avant Gardens & Rick!!!

i worked remotely with Rick @ Avant-Gardens for my destination wedding in Miami and he was great. My bouquet was beautiful and everyone loved the colors and how they matched my girls dresses and really popped.

I hired Avant Gardens very close to my wedding date and they were so helpful and understanding. The work they did was AMAZING!!!! Everything looked as if we had spent much more money than we did. Our centerpieces looked like it came out of a catalog and everyone was in aww by them. It truly made my wedding look like I wanted it to :). The one minor thing that I wasn't thrilled was my bridal bouquet. The roses were a bit damaged, but I could be the one to blame considering I didn't make it a point that I wanted it to look a certain way.
Other than that they were a delight to work with and did an amazing job!

Pat & Rick from Avant Gardens were wonderful to work with. From the first meeting, Pat sought to understand our vision and even sketched out our wedding layout on paper based on our discussions, and they delivered flawlessly! Additionally, our original lighting vendors (Uplyte lighting) flaked out on us 2 months before the wedding, and in came Rick to the rescue. They provided both florals and lighting for the wedding and the results were absolutely brilliant! We are truly impressed that they were able to accomodate us with lighting at such short notice, and even provide a wide range of hues to use over the course of the reception. The floral decorations and centerpieces were beautiful and the bouquets were just what I asked for. Avant gardens truly played an instrumental role in making our wedding a success, I highly recommend!

Avant Gardens did a great job on the florals for our wedding. They were a preferred vendor at my venue. I did not have a huge budget and they were happy to work with me. Rick and Patricia were very professional and personable to work with. However, I do have one complaint. I had coordinated with them to deliver the florals (at the least my bouquet and wedding party flowers by a specific time due to the fact we were getting pictures done before the wedding). However, they were 3 hours late and we were not able to take as many photos as we hoped. I was very disappointed as the rest of my experience with them up to that point had been really great.

We loved working with Avant Gardens who provided all the flowers and the lighting for my daughter's wedding ceremony and reception! Rick and Patricia listened to our vision of an English garden theme and they came through with the most beautiful flower centerpieces and table decor - guests are still commenting on our flowers! From the bridal bouquet and floral arrangements in the church to the Flower Girl's hair wreath of pink spray roses, all the flowers were perfectly fresh and delivered on time without any problems. They were a joy to work with and we highly recommend them.

Rick and the rest of the team at Avant Gardens was amazing! I wanted a vintage/eclectic feel to our wedding and they definately made it happen. I was absolutely thrilled to see everything set up because it was exactly as I had hoped. I absolutey recommend working with Avant gardens, especially if you want someone capable of delivering a look with more individuality.
GUEST




I enjoyed working with Rick he was very patient with me. I was on a very tight budget and he worked things out and all my flowers were absolutely beautiful, his help and suggestions were great. The flowers stayed fresh for a week. My only problem was I couldn't take my arrangements home because I live in Chicago and my wedding was held in Miami.
GUEST




Avant gardens was awesome on our wedding day. Everything looked beautiful, and they were completely hassle free to deal with. They are the only vendor we used that I was 100% happy with and I highly recommend them!
GUEST




Rick is awesome, but forgot to wrap the inside of the vases of my low centerpieces. it's not a huge deal but I was disappointed, not to mention the fact that my mom was livid. But that was the worst part of my wedding day, so I got over it pretty fast. Flowers were gorgeous though!
GUEST




Avant Garde was recommended to us by the hotel. They were great and I would recommend them again! They really worked with us to accommodate our budget and still delivered super quality flowers. They were able to take my vision and make it more beautiful than I could imagine.
