I loved working with Avant Garden for my wedding day florals! Working Avant Garden was a no brainer after seeing their beautiful work at my sister wedding a few years ago! Sarah and the Avant Garden team truly listened and took my inspo photos and brought them to life!

Sarah and her team did such an amazing job on my wedding flowers! Sarah took plenty of time to meet with me and helped me determine what I was looking for. She was excellent in communication, and her work speaks for itself: tasteful, elegant, and better than I could have hoped for! I would recommend for any bride looking for quality work done beautifully.

Avant garden went above and beyond on our wedding day! The center pieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, and ceremony flowers were breathtaking! Meeting with Sarah several times truly set my mind at ease and made this process so much easier! She brings your inspiration to life! Sarah is organized, attentive, and truly creates masterpieces! I cannot imagine our wedding flowers being anymore perfect! Her work is one of a kind! I highly recommend Avant Garden for your flowers! Kudos to you, Sarah and team! We loved having you!

I have used Avant Garden the last few years, and have always been extremely satisfied. At first I was concerned about ordering a "generic" arrangement and allowing the floral designer to create the arrangement - I could not be more pleased with the outcomes. It is more beautiful than anything I could imagine. Highly recommended - try them, you will not be disappointed!

Sarah was so helpful throughout all of our wedding planning! I had a tall centerpiece arrangement in mind and Sarah was able to rent us the cylinders to help complete my vision. The floral arrangements turned out even better than I had imagined. The bouquets and boutonnieres were beautiful as well.

Sarah and her team at Avant Garden created the most beautiful flowers for my wedding! I showed Sarah a few Pinterest ideas and described a general style I was looking for, and she couldn't have portrayed them. more perfectly. From the arch flowers to bouquets to centerpieces, everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were and I couldn't stop staring at them when we brought them home afterwards. We don't have our professional pictures back yet, so these few glimpses don't do the flowers justice in person. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah and her team were OUTSTANDING! I wanted my wedding flowers to be unique and different. I was going for huge foliage centerpieces and 99% foliage for our flowers and man did they deliver! All night long our guests were coming up and complimenting us on our arrangements. I also had some drama happen over and over again and had to edit my order multiple times and they took it all in stride. I will recommend them to anyone FOREVER! may they be blessed by blessing us with their talents!

Avant Gardens did the best job for our postponed wedding. Sarah was prompt and friendly through our postponement and up to the point of our actual wedding day. The planning process, setting up, and take down process ran so smoothly. I will recommend Avant Gardens to everyone!

Sarah and her team are absolutely incredible! Sarah was such a joy to work with throughout my entire wedding planning experience. In the early stages, Sarah asked that I share my Pinterest board, and she then designed all of the floral arrangements to exceed my vision goals. Pleasure to work with, ultimate professionals, responsive, flexible, and overall wonderful and beautiful outcome. They really made the wedding gorgeous! Highly recommend for your wedding needs!

Sarah truly is a master floral designer! I met with her to discuss two special arrangements that I wanted for my mother-in-law's memorial service. They were breathtaking! She put the picture from my mind and translated into something more beautiful than I could imagine. I'm sure mom was smiling! Thank you for taking care of us so well!

I cannot put into words just how highly I recommend Avant Garden Florist for all of your floral needs. Sarah was amazing to work with for our wedding flowers. My now husband and I went in knowing our budget and Sarah was willing to assist us in figuring out how to make our vision come to life while staying within our budget. Sarah was very. professional and transparent with us throughout our whole experience.

When we first met with Sarah she sat down with us, had us explain our vision, share what types of flowers we liked and disliked, and from there told us where we could take flowers out without breaking the vision we had in mind. We truly felt like Sarah cared about making our vision come.

Sarah did an AMAZING job on our wedding flowers. I came into her with a picture of a protea, and she ran with it. Our flowers looked wild, free-spirited and fit perfectly into our day. I think that was the most talked-about thing at our wedding!

Sarah did the flowers for my daughter's wedding at the Delafield Hotel this last week. She exceeded all of our expectations! The bouquets, the arch, the beautiful mixture of tall and short centerpieces, all gorgeous. You truly brought the vision to life. Thank you so much!

Sarah worked with me from abroad for our wedding. I told her the style I was hoping for and some of my favourite flowers, then left it up to her. Boy did she deliver! And within our budget. She's a bloody delight to work with and is extremely talented. Can't recommend her enough!

Sorry this is so delayed (May 2017 wedding), but highly recommend Sarah and Avant Garden for all your wedding floral needs! She worked with our budget and look/feel to create perfection for our big day in bouquets and centerpieces. All gorgeous! Can't thank you enough!

Got some flowers for my daughter's prom and they were terrible. We asked for no white, no roses, and for the main color as blue. We open the box at home and it is all white and all roses plus a tiny blue flower. Terrible! I went back to see if they could redo or at least add some more blue, and they couldn't even find my order and were incredibly rude about handling my order. The flowers were not cheap, I got no refunds, and I did not even get what I ordered.

This place is wonderful! They did my wedding (July 2013) and everything was absolutely perfect. From the corsages to the bridal bouquet, it was exquisite. Sarah went over all the details with me, she had extensive knowledge and info on what flowers I was able to get for my July wedding. I gave her a Pinterest photo of what I wanted my bouquet to look like, and I'm telling you. It was spot on! I was so impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. This place is amazing! Thank you so much for designing my wedding flowers!

Fantastic florist. I have been using avant garden for the past few years and I have never been disappointed (nor has my wife). 2 years ago they did our wedding and everything was wonderful. We basically just gave Sarah a color scheme and told her to go with it. On our wedding day everyone raved about the flowers and decor.

Avant Garden has been our go to for beautiful flowers for all events. From beautiful centerpieces for entertaining to corsages for dances. They are one of the most innovative florists around. We are so lucky to have them in Lake Country!

I booked Avant Garden for my wedding on 8/11/12 after our previous florist backed out on us three months before the wedding. Sarah at Avant Garden could not have been more helpful with choosing colors and flowers and allowing me to borrow some glass center piece dishes for the day-of for free provided we return them the following week. The flowers turned out BEAUTIFULLY and were everything I wanted.

In addition, their pricing was quite affordable for what we received. She also gave us quite a good deal on hydrangeas for our center pieces. In addition, our wedding was out in Mequon. She only charges $50 a stop for dropping off the flowers; even though she's coming from Delafield. I will recommend this shop to any and all of my friends getting married. Thanks again Sarah for the wonderful work you did.

ATTENTION BRIDES: STAY AWAY! You can't count on this shop for ANY important event. You will not get what you order- they substitute what they promise with low quality, cheap flowers so that they make more of a profit. These substitutions are done without warning- It was an aweful surprise to see the flowers on the day of the event. This place is overpriced and unreliable!
