Avenue Design Studio is a travel wedding and special event florist, based in the Florida Panhandle and cover the entire East Coast! We have brought beautiful arrangements to our brides since 2015 and are looking forward to continued success in helping our couples make beautiful memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Avenue Design Studio was such a pleasure! While florals were important to me, I didn’t feel the need to be heavily involved, and their team made the process so easy. They truly listened to my vision, allowed for updates as my plans evolved, and then took care of everything from there. They were incredibly helpful in working within my budget, creatively repurposing ceremony florals for the reception tables, which made the whole evening feel cohesive and elegant. I appreciated their attention to detail, like including flowers I love (amaranthus) and avoiding ones I don’t (baby’s breath). Their ability to travel and stay all day to assist with setup was such a bonus. Highly recommend Avenue Design Studio!

Joseph and Rob of Riverwood Designs are the best in the business. I booked Riverwood Designs for my May 2024 wedding, at The Maine of Williamsburg, for bridal party flowers and floral table arrangements, as well as a Day-Of Coordination package. Booking Joseph and Rob was one of the best decisions I made during my 2-year long wedding planning process. Joseph was a life-savior during the planning process, keeping me calm and confident that my day would be nothing but perfect. And it was exactly that. On the day of my wedding, Joseph and Rob arrived promptly and delivered the most BEAUTIFUL flowers. I am so glad that I chose to go with real flowers, as opposed to wood or silk flowers. The arrangements looked and smelled amazing. The proposal that we had worked on prior to the day of in no way did the actual flowers justice. They were even more amazing than I could have ever imagined. For the florals, we chose to include the orange flowers in only the bridal bouquet. Also including this same orange flower on only the groom’s boutonnière. This was the perfect way for me and my groom to feel special and different from the rest of our bridal party. Book Riverwood Designs NOW! For all your floral and planning/coordinating needs. I am so thankful that I did and I cannot recommend them enough.

Brin's Posy

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Lancaster, VA

Brin’s Posy is named after my beloved dog. She passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, leaving myself and her pup sister (Abby) to figure out life without her. We were months of grieving her loss when a close friend insisted I channel the grief energy into something positive. A bell went off in my head as my current job as a florist in a far away town was coming to an end. Brin’s Posy helped me come to terms with the loss. I still have Abby (the shop girl) in the shop daily and occasionally out to our farm venues! We love to source local and work with community members.

I started planning my friend's wedding a month before it—yep, you heard it—a month! And it was not an elopement! Some family visa situations prompted that. Long story short, I found Caitlyn on Zola. She was extremely friendly and prompt. We had a call, and I sent her a few pictures of the type of flowers I wanted, and she nailed it. She did it cost-effectively. I had talked to other florists, but we got lucky, and Cailyn was available for our wedding in Nov! My brother has signed a contract with her for next year for his wedding! :)

Jessica and her team did the florals for our wedding, and they were AMAZING! She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. I reached out to many florists, and she was patient and intentional, taking my mumbled jumbled ideas and putting together something magical for our big day. No idea was too big or small. We had several one-on-one meetings, and she put together an inspirational slide deck. That’s when I truly started to see all the pieces coming together! She worked within my budget and let me know beforehand if there would be any additional costs based on what I wanted. It was also nice because I could handle all my floral rentals through her (things like vases and candles) without needing to contact additional vendors. On the actual wedding day, Jessica and her team were incredibly kind, keeping me at ease. I trusted her to get creative and make decisions when I didn't have an exact plan for something. Cannot recommend f&b enough!

Rainey Day Bouquets 

5.0

  • Serves Lancaster, VA

As I prepare for my own wedding in April of next year, I was taken aback by the exorbitant costs associated with floral arrangements. Quotes ranging from $6,000 to $7,000, with a minimum commitment of $4,000, were simply unfeasible for me. This led me to explore alternative solutions, and I discovered a passion for creating my own florals. I was delighted to find that I had a knack for it! This experience sparked the idea to launch my faux floral rental business, driven by the belief that beautiful wedding florals shouldn't come with an astronomical price tag. My goal is to make stunning arrangements accessible to all.

My coordinator even said Becca was amazing and came on time and was prepared. She didn’t need anything because she thought of everything.

My love for floral design began inside the horticulture classroom at my high school. That classroom played a pivotal role in allowing me to be creative in ways that I never had been before.

The pandemic served as a wake up call for me just like it did for so many others. Allowing me to rediscover my love for flowers and all things beautiful.
