What our beautiful clients are saying

Shelly Maddren
Alyssa did an amazing job at our recent Administration Breakout Session. She had thought of every detail and made the whole experience feel fun, relaxed, and professional at the same time. The flowers were absolutely beautiful, with great quality and so much variety. You could tell a lot of care and effort went into everything she did. Alyssa was fantastic to work with and helped create a really enjoyable atmosphere for everyone, communication with Alyssa was fast, accurate and nothing was ever an issue no matter the question . I would highly recommend her for your next event, workshop, or special occasion.Posted on Google![]()

We were absolutely blown away by how perfectly our Pinterest board daydreams came to life. Alyssa is truly a master of her craft, but more than that, she genuinely cares. When we first met, I had offhandedly talked about one of my grandmother’s favourite flowers, and on the wedding day there they were, a part of my bridal bouquet. I didn’t realise how much that would mean to me until that moment. It was thoughtful, intentional, and utterly beautiful from start to finish. We feel so lucky to have had her as part of our day. (Plus our pup looked even more adorable with her flower collar too!)Posted on Google![]()

It was a fantastic experience working with Alyssa on a corporate event. Professional and talented (and super easy to work with!), she immediately understood our event brief and what flowers and colours we needed to bring our theme to life. Her stunning flowers and arrangements were a highlight at our event! Can’t wait to work with her again!Posted on Google![]()

I'm so happy with the wonderful florals Avant Garden provided for my wedding. They were the perfect! Alyssa was amazing at communicating with me throughout the whole process. She responded to my questions quickly, was respectful of my budget, and helped to guide me and bring my style and vision to life.Posted on Google![]()

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better florist for our wedding than Alyssa. From our very first meeting together, she just got and understood our vision for our special day and when that day finally came around she brought it to life more beautifully than we could have imagined. Every bouquet and arrangement was stunning and thoughtful - the florals added so much to the feel of our wedding, and also we had so many compliments about them from our guests. The level of care and attention Alyssa put into everything was second to none and we feel so lucky to have had her be such a big part of our day. Couldn’t recommend her more highly :-)Posted on Google![]()

Booked Alyssa to do my wedding flowers for our wedding at Bracu in March 2026. Alyssa was an absolute professional and very easy to work with - great customer service, patient and accommodating with my million questions. She worked with me and my budget without compromising the theme and vision for the day. No question or request was too small; I never had to chase after her. She made what could be an overwhelming process easy and doable. And I absolutely loved the floral arrangements she did for me. They were perfect. Thank you again, Alyssa. - CorinnePosted on Google![]()

Absolutely incredible work by Alyssa for my recent wedding. She communicated clearly throughout the whole process even when booking my flowers a year in advance (orchids, if you know, you know!) I would highly recommend to all if you are looking for someone who truly cares and goes the extra mile for you. Thanks again Alyssa, we are so stoked with how everything turned out.Posted on Google![]()
