I've been a customer for more than 20 years & their product has always been exceptional. With service & attentiveness. I had one issue on Mother's Day for an out of county delivery & the second party didn't provide a satisfactory product. Nancy, their manager quickly resolved it. There's not enough words to express how professional they are. Highly recommend this place & the owner has a great team backing him up. read more

2026 - My wife's Valentine's Day flowers were delivered today, and we couldn't be more pleased. We've been disappointed by other florists in the past, but the moment we opened the door and saw this arrangement, we were immediately impressed. The roses were large and full, and it was obvious the arrangement had been thoughtfully and carefully put together. Thank you for exceeding our expectations!

If I could give zero stars I would. I ordered my mom flowers and waited a few days for them to blossom. Needless to say, these very expensive roses never blossomed and died immediately. When I called and spoke to a manager, she is dismissive, rude and arrogant. She said I should have called her within 24 hours and "do whatever I want with my review". The least she could have offered was a replacement. The flowers are overly expensive, the customer service was atrocious and as a business owner myself, this manager should not be the face of your store. I wouldn't order from them again and urge you to do the same. read more

I had to order a funeral spray from out of state. We used 1-800-flowers who in turn used you. I am always worried as you never know. My sister-in-law said they were beautiful and huge. Thanks for allowing us to show our support when we physically couldn't be there. read more

Today was a day I needed flowers - not for just anyone - but for myself. I called and asked if Avant-Gardens could help, with a rush delivery I'm less than 4 hours. I asked for Blue, yellow & white because I couldn't think of the names of my favorite flowers at that moment. This beautiful arrangement arrived (sooner than my requested deadline) and included my favorites - Cala Lillies, hydrangeas and roses! THANK YOU AVANT-GARDENS! read more

Stunning arrangement sent to a relative in Miami. Absolutely gorgeous. I ordered through a national florist website. I had the exact same arrangement sent to another relative in NJ the same day & it was awful. My Miami fam is lucky to have such a talented & conscientious florist nearby! read more

We got married in October 2017 at the Boca Raton Resort. Rick was our flower designer. He did an excellent job and everything was perfect. Everything looked like like it was from a magazine. He was always available to answer my questions and very accommodating when I made changes. Our guest were impressed with the flowers and the decor on the table, and the hanging lanterns from the tree. My bouquet was stunning. My bridesmaids' bouquets were also stunning. When I look at the pictures of my wedding from 2 year ago, I still can't believe of how spectacular it turned out thanks to his work.

Ordered flowers as usual through From Flowers and they used this florist. I live almost to the Broward County line and a Bird Road florist filled my order? Not happy at all. If I owned this shop there's no way this piece would have made it to the delivery truck, much less to a customer's table. Yes, I live in Miami Gardens, but sending something this shoddy out is unacceptable. read more

I ordered two bouquets for my daughters' graduation. It was going to be a surprise. I was told the second bouquet, which was strictly baby's breath, was free because of the nominal cost of babies' breath. My receipt stated the same ($0.00). I left after paying for my order in full. The day before graduation, someone from Avant Gardens called to say there was a mistake because I had not paid for the second bouquet. At that point, the surprise was ruined bc my daughters were in the car with me and heard the entire conversation. In addition, they said I'd need to pay another $50 for the babies' breath, which was insanity. I waited until I was alone in my car and fully explained what I was told by the salesperson at the shop when the order was placed. She then reduced the additional fee to $20. I wanted to cancel the order at that point, but I had read their return policy online and knew we were past the deadline to cancel with a refund, nor would I be able to find another florist in time (it was already 3:30 p.m. on the day before graduation). When we went to pick up the bouquets on graduation day, we tried to avoid paying the $20, since our receipt stated there was no charge. They refused. The right thing to do, as a business owner, would have been to honor the original receipt, even if it means absorbing the loss, which we know would have been less than $5. read more

The flowers were NOT premium quality. We paid for premium and asl asked for pops of blue to be in the arrangement because it was doe a young boy. None of that was honored. 2 stars for timely delivery but as for the arrangement itself, definitely sub par. I would not order from this company again. read more

I will start by saying the flowers were gorgeous. HOWEVER... I placed my order through 1800flowers and indicated that my order of 2 medium standing arrangements (not cheap!) were needed for a funeral service that started at 9am. What time would one expect them to be delivered? Wouldn't one assume before 9am? Right. So the first one was delivered at 9:15. A quarter of the service was already over. The sash I selected was "Beloved Grandfather." The florist wrote "BELOW Grandfather." Seriously? Wtf. And then the second arrangement arrived after 10am, literally as my parents were getting into the car to follow the hearse to the cemetery. So basically, those flowers went straight to the trash, never even on display. What the heck. And when I spoke to customer service, their idea of a fair response to the situation was to refund me the $10 sash and half of the shipping (about another $10). This is not okay. Very upset with Avant Gardens delivery and how they handled the situation, which 1800flowers refused to tell us the name, but they included a card on the flowers anyway so they also got a phone call from us. Customer service really dropped the ball. All around bad experience. First and last time spending hundreds of dollars with these people. read more

I placed my order online directly through Avant Gardens website. Both flower deliveries were completed the following day in a timely manner. The arrangements were as depicted in the photo online, if not better. The people receiving the flowers, commented on the the beauty of the arrangements. Ordering online was easy, I didn't have any special requests. I didn't have to communicate with anyone at Avant Gardens. read more

Wanted to be splendid and tried these ppl instead of my usual florist. Ordered flowers for my wife. online at 9am. Called them at 1 to let them know she finished work at 6 to make sure delivery was on time. Was assured the flowers were out for delivery. Got a call at 530 that the driver couldn't find the address and flowers weren't delivered. Was told the driver attempted to call my wife for directions. STUPIDEST thing I've heard in a while, why would you call someone I'm trying to surprise? Wouldn't use them again, not even for free. Unprofessional staff.

Avant-Gardens - I couldn't capture the bouquet in one picture only !! - Florists Near Me - Miami, Florida

NEVER ORDER FROM EITHER AVANT GARDENS OR FROM YOU FLOWERS. You'll be disappointed!!! I ordered my mom's favorite flowers, a large, all white daisy bouquet for her 80th birthday, along with a large box of chocolates and 2 ballons through From You Flowers and Avant Gardens was the chosen florist to deliver the arrangement. AVANT GARDENS FAILED TO DELIVER THIS SIMPLE ARRANGEMENT TWICE!!! The first delivery, only 1 balloon was delivered, the chocolates were all melted together in the box, and the daisies were wilted and sad looking! When I called From You Flowers to get a NEW delivery of fresh daisies delivered ASAP, and to confirm that Avant Gardens had fresh flowers in stock, I was told that Avant Gardens had fresh daisies in stock and would redeliver the next day but couldn't guarantee by what time (no matter that it was their error they were correcting). The replacement bouquet AVANT GARDENS DELIVERED WAS EVEN WORSE!!!! They delivered a smaller bouquet, with several brown/dead daisies in the bouquet and they didn't arrive until 5:15 pm the next day!!! While From You Flowers did give me a full refund, they didn't seem to care about the HORRIBLE SERVICE BY AVANT GARDENS nor the fact that a special 80th birthday gift for my mom was ruined. AVANT GARDENS NEVER APOLOGIZED FOR THEIR AWFUL SERVICE AND SICKLY FLOWERS!!! NEVER ORDER FROM EITHER AVANT GARDENS OR FROM YOU FLOWERS. You'll be disappointed. read more

I've driven across the city three times to go. Twice no one answered phone to open door during operating hours. Second time it was 3:30 and they close at 4 and they said sorry we already closed??

Avant Gardens Review To get the most truthful review, read the bad ones. Read mine. Negative environment & negative customer service. My experience with avant gardens deserves a less than 1 star rating. Rick (Owner) is extremely disrespectful and has a lot of nerve commenting negatively about the disease called cancer... You're probably thinking one has nothing to do with the other and you're right. READ MY REVIEW. Do yourself a favor and save yourself from the negativity in your event or planning. I ordered flowers from avant gardens 2 weeks in advance from the date I needed them to be ready and when I ordered the flowers, I was told they would arrive on February 13th, during the day at ANY time. I arranged for the flowers to be picked up at my home address on February 13th and awaited for them to arrive. The flowers never made it to my home but several phone calls to the RECIPIENT of the flowers were! Avant gardens asked the recipient if she ordered flowers because the address provided "on file" was not a correct address. (Address was given and verified 2 weeks in advance). The recipient out of surprise and not knowing whether or not the flowers were ordered in error, asked ME if I had ordered flowers for her. At this point the surprise for Valentine's Day (February 14th) was ruined and the address avant gardens had on file for my home delivery address was completely wrong and not even close to what was told to avant gardens over the phone 2 weeks ago. A phone call was made to avant gardens asking to speak to a manager about the situation but avant gardens refused to connect me to a manager. Monique (representative I made the original order with) went on explaining how she called MY cell phone first but was unsuccessful on getting any answer and had no other option but to call the recipient (Even if you call the recipient, WHO calls and asks "were flowers ordered, if so, what is a good address because this one we have is incorrect")... ANYWAY. I explained how the surprise was ruined and this special moment was no longer. I insisted on speaking to a manager and after several attempts trying to convince Monique in allowing for me to speak to the manager, the manager then came to the phone. The manager with a tone of annoyance answered the phone and stated "how can I help you, what happened?" After I JUST explained the entire story to Monique (reason I wanted a manager in the FIRST PLACE). Monique explained to the manager the situation and moments later of going back and fourth with RICK, instead of him, as a business owner and company just accepting the fact a mistake was made ON YOUR END you would think at this point anyone who genuinely cared would reply something along the lines of "sir/ma'am we sincerely apologize for this error and are aware of the mistake we made in your order. Please allow for us to make this up to you, due to the MAJOR inconvenience"..... I received absolutely nothing. Nothing but attitude, trying to maintain my composure after paying the amount I paid to receive this treatment, MANAGER and OWNER RICK, with an attitude, continuously repeated how Monique made a mistake and kept on stating "what do you want me to do about it". Rick told me the matter was not that " serious" and compared the situation to someone with cancer. WORD FOR WORD RICK STATED TO ME OVER THE PHONE "Relax, its flowers not cancer".............................................. The recipient of the flowers was standing right next to me and immediately I cut him off and stated how dare you make a comment like that? One has nothing to do with the other and HOW WOULD YOU know if the person receiving these flowers doesn't have cancer? I asked for my full refund and told rick he would be seeing my review on his website and it didn't phase him. This is the most unprofessional service and customer service I have ever received in my entire lifetime. The amount of anger and humiliation for something so simple as to ordering flowers that WE received is outrageous. I would not wish this kind of treatment on anyone. I can assure you RICK that not some but ALL of my family and friends will be hearing of this story and I can assure you RICK that I will be posting this on EVERY social media platform created so that everyone out there can I least be warned of your corrupt, poor, unfair & ridiculous service. Words can't describe how terrible your company is. Not even after making that comment about cancer did I receive apology. Never will anyone I know come here, you have my word. That's one thing I have and will always keep. Thank you for reading about my experience. read more

Avant-Gardens - My fiancé had these flowered delivered to my job today. This arrangement is absolutely stunning! I got so many compliments at work! - Florists Near Me - Miami, Florida

My experience with avant gardens was extremely disappointing. The day before Valentines Day, was my day off and they called me so early in the morning, not once, but 3 times. Once I woke up and checked to see if there were any voicemails from this phone number whom I had several missed calls from.. Zero voicemails after all of those phone calls. Then I thought, maybe they sent an email if it's so urgent, but when I checked my email, again, no notification from them. I received another phone call and when I answered the female stated she was calling from avant gardens and that they were trying to send me a delivery. I was confused and questioned her " a delivery? " but I did not order anything. She told me it was flowers but they have a mix up in the delivery address and needed for me to give them the correct delivery address. Then she began giving me the sender's address (My Valentine) so that's when I realized he was trying to surprise me with a delivery of Flowers! I felt SO bad, especially since he was next to me, what an akward moment. At this point, I felt I had no other choice but to tell him I knew about the flowers and they were on the phone. He told me which address he originally scheduled with them to deliver the flowers to me and the lady said "well that's not what was in the delivery address on file " She did not appologize for several calls made or the mix up. Completely unapologetic! At this point, I had to tell her that he was upset that they ruined the surprise and she just remained quiet. No response. I could not believe the terrible customer service this company was providing. They continued to give AWFUL service. He called again later (when I was not around) to try and speak to a Manager about what happened. The OWNER, RICK was extremely disrespectful and commented "Relax It's Just Flowers, Not Cancer!" Completely Uncalled for and UNPROFESSIONAL! Please do yourself a favor and do not waste your time with avant gardens. I still had the best Valentines, after all of this, he still went out of his way and on a mission with only 1 day to find another flower company. read more

This company literally put on a platinum wedding with just two months notice. My brother got married at The Loews Miami Beach and Avant Gardens turned their Americana ballroom into a dream celebration. The center pieces were breathtaking, everywhere we looked there were details that were straight out of a fairytale. They provided all we needed aside from the cake and food. Rick was amazing to work with. He's a master at what he does and i recommend Avant Gardens to anyone looking for absolute perfection. Thank you guys for making this dream wedding into a reality for my family. read more

I just received a fantastic fall bouquet from a friend. It was absolutely gorgeous and couldn't have been a nicer arrangement. Personally I am very pleased with the flowers and delivery and will use Avant Gardens for any local deliveries. Would like to post a photo of this arrangement but can't.. why???? I ended up putting the photo as my profile picture. Look at it - it's perfect and so fresh. Love it!!!! read more

Here's the deal. If there is any kind of problem, you won't get understanding, you won't get respect, you won't get a solution or any resolution. What you will get is a fight from the owner, or ignored altogether. Keep this in mind before you decide if you want to do business with someone like this. read more

Worst experience with a flower delivery service in my life. I was told that my arrangement was not deliverable because the driver couldn't get into the complex... The complex has a very easy to use directory system, so this excuse was absolutely unacceptable. When I called them back one hour later to try and rearrange the delivery for the same day, I was told that the driver would not drive back to the house to attempt a redelivery until the following day. I explained that this delivery was for a birthday and delivering it the following day defeated the purpose, but they did not care and did not even seem apologetic for their own mistake. So unprofessional. Will never work with this florist ever again. read more

Working with Elyse was a pleasure! She was very responsive whenever trying to schedule a meeting, asking questions over email, or even making changes over email. She was very flexible and also gave great advice regarding our flower arrangements. She even personally delivered the bouquets to our hotel room on our wedding day, which was much appreciated! We were able to see exactly what our reception tables would look like prior to the wedding, as they have a sample appointment where you can see the flowers they would use, the vase, the candles, etc. Everything looked beautiful the day of our wedding!! read more

I tried to support local businesses and went out of my way to not order from Proflowers, FTD or Teleflora for a Mother's Day gift. Boy, that was a MISTAKE! I ordered online for a bamboo plant on a Monday and got an order acknowledgement then received an e-receipt on a Tuesday. And come Wednesday receive a call where I am told the item has not been available for a while & there are no plans to get it anytime soon. Well hell take it OFF your website if you can't fill the order. Bad service. Back to the national florists I go who are way more reliable but now I lost 3 days. It makes me wonder if small businesses should dabble in e-commerce at all. read more

I have used Avant Gardens for the past 5 years-this shop is a family favorite as they designed and flawlessly executed three family weddings and a jaw dropping baby shower. There is not enough positive feedback I can leave for this staff. They are attentive, kind, and always able to assist no matter the day or time. They are a company that focuses on a numerous styles and is always aligning with the everyday trends. My favorite characteristic of this company is that they actually listen to your needs and ideas. They don't try to place their own vision for the event they always ensure that your vision is executed flawlessly. If its placing an everyday order with Operations Manager, Lydia, Sales Managers, Francys, Nancy, Fabianca or Monique one thing is for sure you can always ensure your arrangement is going to be the best one they have ever received. I have also had a pleasure of working alongside both the Events Manager, Elyse, and the Owner, Rick, on family events such as baby showers, graduation parties, and birthdays and have to say the final product always surpasses my expectations. Thank you to this incredible team for always delivering the best of the best! read more

My wedding venue recommends using this as a vendor. I made an appointment and met with one of their Managers. They showed me many arrangements and refused to tell me what anything cost while discussing the arrangements. At the end they told me the cost. I had some amount of credit applied from the venue, and I must say to NOT use this vendor. They will nickle and dime you. This is a place that says "you want a votive? $5.00". You can buy and keep a new votive for less than that. Please do not use this vendor. There are so many better and less costly vendors out there. read more

Paid for the largest premium arrangement but the tiniest bouquet was delivered. The entire arrangement was the size of the palm of my hand, embarrassingly small! The store's customer service was very difficult to deal with and they never fixed my problem or redelivered the correct flowers. Spent hours on the phone trying to get a refund and ended having to order from another florist, wasting two days. The worst part - I am realizing that they have done this several times in the past, taken payment but then underdelivered in size of arrangement. The only reason I found out this time was because I had the flowers delivered to my home as I am going to take them to the recipient in person. Terrible scam as many times you don't see the end result flowers as they are directly delivered to someone else. Not a honest or reliable florist, I would never order from them again. Trust me - Take your business elsewhere! read more

Driver arrived and formed a show in my company lobby because the security guard messaged me on our internal system instead of calling me on my phone. When I didn't come down fast enough, he called me directly on my cell and proceeded to yell about how he waited too long and he was outside (from his arrival to me heading down, lapsed a total of 4 minutes) I told him to come back inside, that I was already on my way down, and he told me that if I wanted my flowers, I needed to come out to his car to get them. Naturally, after being embarrassed in front of colleagues, I called the company to let them know and they advised that they "spoke to the driver and he said he wasn't rude to you" ... needless to say, I won't advise my spouse or any friends to buy from these people. Customer service is not their strong suit. Spend your money at a classier establishment. read more

Before planning my wedding, I knew absolutely nothing about flowers. Elyse at Avant Gardens was so kind and helpful. She took the time and patience to meet with me right away to see and hear my desires and walked me through photos of countless flowers - explaining, naming, pricing, describing, and putting together what would be my dream bouquet. Elyse was great at responding promptly to emails. Avant Gardens also has extensive selections of rentable centerpieces, candles, and is basically a one stop shop for elegant wedding décor. She was very patient with me, rescheduling when I needed to at the last minute, and allowing me ample time and space for my indecisiveness on centerpieces. She listened to my every request no matter how small & ensured our centerpieces and bouquets were just as I'd envisioned and communicated. She even took the time to hand deliver my bouquet to me herself on my wedding day, which meant so much after all the work we'd done together leading up to the big day. Looking at the flowers brought me tears or joy and I won't soon forget how I felt with that bouquet in my hands or the perfection of the floral arrangements that filled our reception room exactly how I'd dreamt of. Highly recommend and I look forward to being a return customer. read more

amazing floral arrangements, great customer service, and the store also smells really nice :)

Yesterday we placed an order for flowers for our grandmothers funeral with Avant-Gardens as they are well known are supposed to be reputable. The order placed was for a GRACEFUL TRIBUTE HEART spray which was exactly what we wanted and envisioned throughout our search for flowers that could perfectly express our love for her but unfortunately was not what we received. Instead of what we ordered, we received a GRACEFUL WREATH as shown in the attached picture. We paid $174.95 yet what we received, besides not being in any way what we wanted, is valued at $154.95. Had we wanted the wreath, that is what we would've placed our order for but we did not order that so it's obviously not what we wanted. It's sad that at such a difficult time of mourning in our life, false advertising from this company is what we have to be dealing with. We called upon receipt of the flowers to complain but they conveniently made the delivery when they were closing and I sent an email asking how this matter will be corrected by them and they of course have not bothered responding to the matter. DO NOT ORDER FROM THESE PEOPLE! read more
