AB Gardencenter And Florist

10/7/2018 I want to start off by saying we were reluctant to hire a florist for our wedding. We had met with a few other florists and were pretty turned off from the whole process of hiring one for our wedding. That changed when we met with Margaret. She was the only one who fit every check mark on our list (we met with 5 others). She was attentive, truly understood what we wanted, and even had such creative and amazing ideas before we even hired her. The best part was she was willing to work within our budget. We decided to hire her that day, even after meeting with others who were also willing to work within our budget. A few weeks before the wedding, our table count increased by 10 and Margaret was so understanding and willing to work with the 10 extra tables. She worked with us to make sure everyone (including parents, grandparents) had all the right flowers and colors. We went from not caring about flowers at all to being completely obsessed with them. We could not stop talking about how great our florist was and how BEAUTIFUL she made our wedding day. She ended up doing 26 tables, and one sweetheart table, our outdoor ceremony, our wedding cake, and entire bridal party and parents. I had a vision for what I wanted and the colors but she took it to the next level and turned that into reality (with considerations on our budget limit- she never pressured us into getting something we didn't want). We still rave about our flowers AND Margaret. So many people made a point to tell us how gorgeous our flowers were. I cannot thank Margaret enough for working with us on the days leading up to the wedding and for her hard work the day of the wedding to make our day perfect. I have already recommended her to so many people and will definitely work with Margaret again!

I cannot say enough about my experience with Margaret & AB Florist! She made our wedding vision come to life! Our flowers were beyond beautiful and she was so helpful every step of the way! She even came to the rescue when our outdoor ceremony had to moved inside due to the rain and we couldn't be happier with the service! We were able to stay within budget while looking like a million bucks!

Do not judge a book by its cover. This florist shop may be hidden underneath the LIRR train tracks, however it should have a permanent spotlight. This has easily become the ONLY place I go to shop for arrangements and special event flowers. Margaret has the best prices around and she listens to you. She creates magic from just an image, or invitation, or just by asking what colors you like. She works with your budget and is straightforward. Something that we need more of. From micro weddings, to baby and bridal showers, to my own wedding.. I have been nothing less but impressed and in awe of everything she creates. As an avid lover of flowers and design, Margaret is 5 STARS!

Margarita is amazing! She’s my go-to florist and never disappoints. I love giving her creative freedom because she always knows exactly what I like — every arrangement comes out beautiful. I would highly recommend her for any event or even just bouquets. She’s great, very well priced, and truly the best in Queens! 🌸

Margarita is an incredible florist. She took my vision and far exceeded my expectations. She is so kind and great to work with. She is super knowledgeable and has a great creative vision. I provided her with the invitation, and she did the rest. I could’ve never imagined the flowers looking as amazing as they did. I received so many compliments, and guests were asking who did the flowers since they were so impressed. Margarita also took care of dropping off my arrangements to the venue and setting it all up. From start to finish, working with her was such a pleasure, and it provided me so much relief to know that everything was taken care of and would look beautiful. If you’re looking for arrangements for your event or flowers to give to someone special, Margarita should be your phone call. Not only does she provide beautiful arrangements, but she has provided me with stunning arrangements and bouquets as well as cemetery flowers. Thank you Margarita for all of your beautiful work over the years! The love you have for your work shows and is felt.
