I would just like to say that Avant-Gardens is the best flower shop ever! So this is what happen: I am a full time student and i work about 30 hours a week. So I have very little time to even talk to my family, less visit them for important dates ; In this case my mother’s birthday. I live over 600 miles away and the day of the mother’s birthday I wanted to send her flowers. After calling a few florists that either could not do same day delivery or didn’t have the flowers that I wanted for my mom, I found Avant-Gardens. I spoke to a very friendly personal and she said that the flowers were going to be delivered before 4:00 pm, mind you it was already noon. That alone impressed me. After a few hours the florist called me and stated that the driver could not find my mom’s job, I got a little panicky and ask my mom for her address giving her the impression that I was going to send her a card for Mother’s day. Turns out the address that I gave them before was way wrong. The Florist was really nice when I called them back to tell them that I accidently gave them the wrong address and she politely explained to me because that they had five weddings to do they might not be able to give my mom’s birthday gift that day. I told them that I will call them back in less than 10 min to see what I wanted to do. 3 minutes later the florist called again to tell me that the driver is going to give my mom her birthday flowers regardless of their full day. 10 minutes later my mother called me crying of joy thanking me for the beautiful flowers that cost me less than 50 dollars. Even one of her co-workers called me to tell me how happy she was and asked me where did I even get the flowers. I will recommend this Avant-Gardens to every one. Even with five weddings and a bad address they still made it to my mother’s birthday. That meant the world to me and from now on I will always use them.

I ordered from 1800 flowers. It happened to be from this place because it is a "local florist delivery bouquet". I know its from this place because the name was on the card. Not only my order turned out to be a totally different one from what I ordered but the quality of flowers were so poor. The flowers looks like they were dying. The buds looked like they were not even gonna make it to bloom. The vase looks dirty and old looking. I ordered a large bouquet for Mothers Day. The size of the bouquet my mom received was not even half size of the one I actually ordered. I feel so embarrassing in front of my mom when she took the bouquet home (I had it delivered to her work place). And I am sure she was embarrassed in front of her co-workers too because her kids gave her such bad quality and poor looking bouquet. Luckily I found out about the service and know about this place so that I can avoid it. I also made a complaint with 1800 flowers about this vendor. I wish I could put the pics here for your reference and comparison of what I actually ordered and what actually arrived. Maybe I will do so on yelp when I have time later. Im sum up, avoid this place if you can.

The only thing more despicable than the accosting demeanor of Rick Interian, the manager of this deplorable establishment, is the offhandish behavior of his staff. I had an appointment, which I called to confirm an hour in advance, and was greeted by absolutely no one while I waited for well over 15 minutes. I asked whether I should reschedule and, rather than being given a kind apology, I was rudely told by his receptionist to either wait "for three, four, maybe five" hours or come back another day. I was then denied a request to speak with Rick (who was standing 5 feet in front of me and in viewing distance). When Rick did at last appear, he blatantly said "you are making a stink in my store, either wait or get out." He then KICKED ME OUT OF HIS STORE. Never, in all my experience, have I ever witnessed--let alone experienced--such abhorrent and despicable customer service. If you are a bride or a wedding planner (or a human being who values being treated with some level of dignity) and you are looking for a respectful and considerate vendor, I would NOT recommend Rick or Avant Gardens. No flowers or linens are worth that level of degradation.

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 wouldve placed our order for but we did not order that so its obviously not what we wanted. Its 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!

Rick and Elyse did an amazing job with the center pieces for my reception. They interpreted my theme exactly and everything turned out more amazing than I could have imagined. During my initial interview with them they were very detailed in explaining to me the type of flowers he anticipated to use. They were also very wiling to work with my budget and made helpful suggestions on how to stay within it without compromising quality. The flowers were of superior quality; they were so fresh they smelled wonderful! Most importantly Rick and Elyse were very professional; they answered all of our emails in a timely fashion and reviewed my order several times to ensure everything would be perfect for the wedding. They have a very positive attitude and were a pleasure to work with. If you go with them you will not be disappointed!!!

If youve been lucky enough to find Avant Gardens before looking anywhere else, look no further! Avant Gardens did my outdoor Key Biscayne wedding in December and it was AMAZING. Not only did they understand mine and my husbands style, which is somewhat hippy-chic and totally NOT Miami, but they executed it professionally and with grace and patience. They understood that we wanted to work within a certain budget and they made it happen.... Whats more, when other vendors I had hired were not as professional, Rick and Patricia of Avant Gardens stepped up and helped remedy the problem by taking on more than their share of the work. I would HIGHLY recommend Avant Gardens and will be a returning customer when the day comes that Im ready for a baby shower!!! Thank you Rick and Patricia....you really made our wedding day beautiful
