Avenue Flowers and Gifts

I knew nearly nothing about flowers, but Oscar at Avenue was great at providing suggestions and working with photos I had brought it. My bouquet was absolutely gorgeous, I didn't want to put it down all day. The prices were extremely reasonable and the flowers held up beautifully.

I was pleasantly surprised with how beautiful all of my flowers turned out. The centerpieces received rave reviews. Nathan is very nice and worked within my budget. I highly recommend Avenue Florist for any of your floral needs.

Nathan did a great job with all our flowers and centerpieces! I had a vision and it made it come to be below our budget! He made a great sample centerpiece on the spot. We’ve receive so many compliments on the centerpieces! They were willow branches with vanda orchids attached and candles hanging from them. They really made the room come to life! The bouquets were beautiful! They really popped in all our photos! The pew bows he made for the Church were so great! I was hesitant at first because bows aren’t always my thing – but am so glad we had them! He added vandas to the bows to give them that something extra. We don’t have any complaints – all the deliveries were on time and everyone had what they needed. Really great price for everything he included – cake flowers, flowers for the parents, grandparents, throwaway bouquet, ceremony décor, Blessed Mother roses, etc.

Nathan at Avenue Flowers is absolutely fantastic. He is very sweet and patient and he has expansive knowledge of all types of flowers. When working with a budget, he can easily pick out alternatives that would work just as well. He works hard with you to make your vision come true. When I saw the actual flowers at the wedding, I was astounded by how they looked. The centerpieces got many compliments and the flower arrangement for the sweetheart table was gorgeous. He seriously offers the best value for his services. I highly highly recommend Nathan.

Everything was beautiful!! Nathan did a fantastic job following my guidelines. I left everything to him and he did not disappoint!

If I could give Nathan at Avenue Flowers and Gifts 100 stars (and a million dollar tip, lol), I would. He listened to exactly what I wanted. He talked me through every possible flower that would meet my vision and he gave me a price that I couldn't beat. My flowers were spectacular and I felt such a great connection with Nathan and his staff. I would recommend Avenue Flowers and Gifts without any hesitation!

The flowers were great, but some things weren't 100% as we had discussed in previous meetings. Things were slightly disorganized during meetings but Nathan's passion tends to make up for the disorganization. I do wish that a few things were different in our final flowers as some items were incorrect but no one but me was able to tell!

I unhesitatingly recommend Nate!!! HE"S AWESOME! I don't think my wedding would have been as wonderful as it was without Nate's help! He paid attention to every single thing I said, he recreated the images I showed him and added his own twist to make the flowers exquisite, perfect and way MORE than I expected. If you want gorgeous bouquets, centerpieces, whatever, CONTACT NATE!!!!!!!!!! You won't be disappointed with the results!

You MUST see Nathan at Avenue Flowers & Gifts in Elizabeth.

As a huge lover of nature and flowers, I wanted to work with a florist who understood MY vision of wedding flowers. Relaxed, garden-like, natural, and astonishingly beautiful. No cheesy-ness. I had seen too many run-of-the-mill arrangements that were not my taste. I was also on a budget.

I brought some inspirational photos to my first meeting with Nathan and we clicked immediately! His passion for flowers came through instantly. Nathan lives and breathes flowers. And above all, he understood what I wanted 100%. He proved it when he made a sample centerpiece at our second meeting.
I cried the morning of the wedding when I saw how beautiful my bouquet looked. It came out even better than I expected. My best friend even noted “this bouquet is really you”.

The arch décor, the aisle arrangements, the maids’ bouquets and centerpieces were all equally breathtaking. I honestly could not have been more satisfied. Avenue Flowers & Gifts was a complete pleasure to work with. Nathan is top notch. His work and prices can’t be beat.

Nathan at Avenue Flowers created the most beautiful centerpieces, bouquets, and chuppah that I have ever seen. He was also cheaper than every other florist by at least $1000. I would recommend him to everyone! He was amazing and paid attention to every last detail. I was thrilled with my flowers.

My flowers were beautiful, my bouquet was roses and orchids (24 in total), my bridesmaids had all rose bouquets (5 bouquets), my mom had mini calla lilies for her corsage, my mother in law had miniature roses for hers, and flower girls got flower pomanders. D had an orchid boutonnière, all the guys and dads got rose boutonnières (8 in total), ring bearer had miniature roses. They also did 2 beautiful flower arrangements for the church, and 8 hydrangea pew bows, and a bouquet for the Virgin Mary. The reception had 18 tall arrangements, sweetheart table flowers, and give away bouquet. Plus all the deliveries. Of all the quotes I got, the next cheapest quote was over $1000 more, seriously no one can beat their prices! The only thing, I asked for was a 2nd boutonnière for my husband, because orchids are very delicate (it was destroyed after the receiving line with all the hugs and stuff) and they didn’t include it.

Florist, Nathan from Avenue Florists {NJ} ~A+ ~ Nathan loves what he does. The man knows the name of every single flower in the world, its origin, and whether it will be a good or bad week for it. I was blown away by his creativity and passion. Using him was carefree and a joy. On the wedding day he personally delivered the bouquets to the hotel and for some reason I started tearing up...they were so so beautiful. He surprised me and upgraded some of my orchids to these gorgeous deeper purple ones and added peonies to the centerpieces. I LOVE him L-O-V-E. Any girl using him has nothing to worry about. He is hands down the best value for what you get. He came at the end of the night with Mom to get the pieces and it was like seeing and old friend. The centerpieces lasted great and we used them the next day at the brunch.

Being that I was getting married on Valentine�s Day, price was my main concern when it came to picking a florist. I am definitely not a flower girl and was looking for the bare minimum of acceptable flowers for the cheapest price possible. Nathan gave me an incredible deal on my flowers. I spent $2,000 on the following:�20 tall centerpieces (roses, mixed with other pink and white flowers)�60 candles�Sweetheart table flowers�Two church baskets on pillars�Bridal bouquet (roses)�7 bridesmaid bouquets (roses)�Toss bouquet (mini roses)�5 wrist corsages (roses)�10 bouts (roses)�Delivery to hotel, church and venueIn the end I was extremely please with my centerpiece. For $60 p/table they simply could not be beat. I was honestly less than thrilled with my bouquets and bouts. I thought my bouquet looked very skimpy and cheaply done. Part of this is definitely my fault. I walked in there without ANY idea of what I wanted, crying poverty and asking for a good deal. If I had done my homework, I think I would have spent a bit more on my bouquet. I also thought the bouts and corsages were OK but nothing special. They looked a bit cheap- which is exactly what they were, so I can�t complain!To go back in time I still would have absolutely booked Nathan for my centerpieces, but I think I would have spent a little more money on my bouquets/bouts.

My sister got married 6 weeks before I did and used Nathan at Avenue Flowers. Her centerpieces were amazing! When I heard she spent $65, I was floored. And this was for tall centerpieces. No delivery/set-up fee. Holy Guacamole! He just blew me away.My sister booked him for me, picked all the flowers, did all the communication…all about a month before the wedding.We cancelled our centerpieces with Yumilla (Metropolitan Plant & Flower exchange) and we were thrilled to use them. He was our second favorite vendor: a total sweetheart and amazing flowers. I told our friends the centerpieces were $65 and they were shocked! I’m over the moon with them.Go book them!!!
