This all white tulip bridal bouquet is a favorite from 2026...it’s classy, cute, elegant, unique, striking, memorable, AND holds up well out of water?! Move over calla lilies...tulips have entered the chat.

One of our favorite parts of designing a wedding is finding ways to highlight what you already love about your venue.

When deciding where to add flowers, think about where you and your guests will spend time and what will be in the background of your photos. That might mean flowers along a staircase where you’ll take portraits or around a fountain where guests will gather. For an outdoor ceremony, it could mean enhancing the natural beauty of the surrounding gardens or grounds while framing the space where you’ll exchange vows.

We talk through all of this together so your flowers feel like they belong in the space and get to be enjoyed throughout the day.

There’s an abundance of things the Avant Gardenia team does that go above and beyond for our clients. It’s never just about completing and delivering our wedding orders. It’s about caring enough to figure it out when something goes wrong, noticing the details that need attention, and doing the extra things that bring your vision to life.

🌷You didn’t see the part where we recut thousands of stems and replaced every bucket of water to help your flowers open perfectly.

🌷You didn’t see the part where we called five different suppliers to track down the exact flower we envisioned.

🌷You didn’t see the part where we mapped out your wedding day hour by hour so setup could run seamlessly.

🌷You didn’t see the part where your flowers arrived in the wrong color and we rebuilt your floral order in two days.

🌷You didn’t see the part where our team moved tables and chairs to make the room more comfortable for your guests.

🌷You didn’t see the part where we straightened every chair and napkin so your tables looked just right for photos.

And that’s only a little piece of it… we could go on and on.

You will never see all the work that actually goes into properly executing your decor vision. But we hope you feel the difference it makes. That’s why we do it.

Alex and Haley’s wedding at The Ritz Carlton is proof that colorful weddings can still be formal, elegant, and classy. The soft sherbet palette, luxurious pastel linens, and abundant candlelight helped create an unforgettable atmosphere - perfect for a summer wedding!

Even the smallest details can make the biggest impact on your wedding day.

Our team loves thinking through these little moments, from a few blooms beside the invitations to flowers tucked into the cake. Our favorite part is working with people who get just as excited about those details as we do. Each brings their own creativity, and together we get to create something that feels like you.

Low vs. Tall Centerpieces… which style is right for your wedding? Low centerpieces create an intimate, romantic atmosphere while allowing guests to see one another across the table. Tall centerpieces add height, drama, and dimension, especially in large venues with high ceilings. Can you mix both? Absolutely! Alternating heights can create visual variety and make a reception feel more dynamic. The best centerpiece is one that complements your venue, guest experience, and overall vision.

A little “We’re still here!”

We’ve been a little MIA lately because these past several weeks have been BUSY busy… lots of beautiful events, and an incredibly humbling amount of 2027 inquiries. Also a little more rain than we ordered!

We’ll be back to our regular programming soon. For now, enjoy these cuties embracing a rainy wedding day.

September tented weddings have our heart! The air is crisp, the temperatures are cooperative, and a tent gives you the ultimate blank canvas for a really beautiful design. Think abundant floral, dramatic lighting, gorgeous linens, thoughtful tabletop details…. all the layers that turn a tent into a setting that feels completely your own. The possibilities are endless!
