Perfect wedding!
My daughters wedding venue sent us here. We are very grateful and thankful. Alex worked with us on building a wedding flower style that fit our budget, colors and location. My daughter lives in OKC so that added some hurdles but he made us feel comfortable and secure in our choice. Everything was breathtaking and BEYOND the inspiration pictures we showed. All the wedding guests where ranting and raving about the fresh florals all night long. They where just a fresh looking a week later. You can’t go wrong here!
My brothers wedding
ABQ Florist did my brothers wedding and I’ve been obsessed ever since! Glad I saw the post so I can vote for them XOXO
Spring flowers
We worked with Alex on creating colorful spring centerpiece for our Spring Leadership meeting this past year. They matched our color scheme flawlessly. True artists work here. Absolute visionaries
Perfect centerpiece!
I got to take home one of the beautiful flower arrangements from this years NHCC fundraiser! It was a great addition to my office all week!
Would recommend
Our wedding flowers were delivered on time and beyond my expectations. Plus I made a new florist for any occasion. Hire Elite you won’t regret it!

So excited
My daughter booked another local florist for her upcoming wedding but to our disappointment she revived a cancel notice due to pregnancy. We were upset but she recommended us to Elite Wedding and Events, they where quick to get what we are wanting. With competitive prices! So we are so excited and can’t wait to see it all come together!
Learned a lot
My girlfriends and I went to a DIY class here! It was so fun and we learned a lot! They thought us how to make hand held bouquets 💐
Amazing work
I saw their work at a wedding expo and it was beautiful and smelled really good. They gave me a rose
Made our wedding special <3
I found Alex on Instagram and new I wanted him to be our florist immediately! It was quick and easy, we had a detailed consultation to discuss everything (he is very knowledgeable!) which put my mind at ease! I love my bouquet so much I had it preserved!
A return client
Great flowers good prices. We got our wedding flowers here and will be returning for my first anniversary this October
Best flowers ever!!!
We where blown away by the quality and professionalism this place had to offer
Best Wedding Flowers! Beautiful, enchanting, convenient!
Most beautiful wedding flowers and everything I dreamed of! I had such a wonderful consultation previous to my wedding with Alex. He discussed every little detail with me and the results… absolutely enchanting and exactly what I envisioned and dreamed of! Alex took all the time we needed and gave wonderful ideas and it almost seemed like he already knew what I wanted even though I couldn’t express it! From Consultation, Communication, Delivery, Pick-up… absolutely convenient and professional. If things go smooth with vendors it lowers your stress level and I am super grateful to have found Alex and his team to help me make my wedding perfect. Every little detail was perfect and I would recommend working with Abq Florist 100%… not just for weddings. They will be my to go to for every event from now on! Can’t thank you all enough for your amazing job and wonderful service! I rate best florist in town!!! Thanks to you my wedding was perfect!
Loved it all!
We loved everything we ordered for our wedding! It was one of the pricey quotes we received but I believe you get what you pay for. Highly recommend!
Loved everything!
We loved everything we ordered! We worked with Alex Montoya he really helped us bring a vision to life that we didn’t even know we had! Thank you for everything! The Lozano’s
The most beautiful flowers
I worked with Alexis and I cannot say enough awesome things about her! For one I was out of state and had a vision in mind. I sent her a picture of the flowers I wanted and she accomplished exactly what i wanted and even more! She was so sweet and anytime I had a question she was able to find a way to help me! I truly enjoyed working with her and I received so many compliments on my flowers!
Booked with the wrong Florist
My daughter and I signed the flower contract with Alex Montoya. We found out he is no longer employed at this place, but it was to late to find someone else. The lady who took his place is unprepared and not nearly as professional not to mention rude!!. They where late for the delivery!!!!!! My word of advice, get him back.
Awesome work guys
Got married to my wife a while back. Alex and his team are great. We highly recommend
Thank you!
I had a destination wedding in Angel Fire so I hired Albuquerque florist! They are extremely talented and helpful! I picked everything up the day before the wedding. They helped me load my car and gave me instructions for flower care! Everything was even more stunning then I could have imagined!
Great job!
I loved my bouquet and all my flowers! Great job guys! 😍😍😍

Albuquerque florist did my son's wedding florals and it was beautiful! From the first consultation with Alex Montoya we knew this was this place for the job! He pulled out flowers and ribbons, it was a delight! No detail was overlooked!
Perfectly smooth
Process was easy and smooth! I highly recommend!! I showed one picture and gave my color scheme, that's all it took! My bridal bouquet was amazing!

Extremely Helpful
My partner and I have been planning our wedding for the past year. Our plan's changed due to Covid-19 but they where quick to switch our date and reassure us! I am excited to see what they create when the day finally comes!

I worked with Alex his passion, creativity and professionalism are out of this world! I highly recommend Albuquerque Florist! I came to find out ranunclus is my favorite flower! Who knew!?
Elite Awards
I used this florist for my wedding a few months back! The experience was fun and exciting! The partnership with simply sweet by Darci is unique and one of a kind. I couldn't find a listing to vote for her as well!!
The wedding Pro's!!!!
My vote goes here!!!!! I worked with Alex Montoya for my wedding a few weeks back, he is outrageously talented, creative and sweet. I went in after meeting with a few other local florists but after a few minutes chatting with him I felt this was the place to beautify our wedding! No detail was left out! Anytime I had a question he was quick to answer! Everything arrived on time and was absolutely breathtaking!

Wedding day
I was less than impressed with the flowers. They were dropped off while we were getting ready. No one ever checked with me or my husband. The order was incomplete! The bouquets for the bridesmaids were not what I asked for. I never received the toss bouquet! Centerpieces were too small!
Best experience
Alex and the staff at Albuquerque florist are amazing! He has fresh and exciting ideas. His dedication is unforgettable and unbeatable. Not only was he our point person in our planning, he was also at the venue the day of the wedding. Setting up and making sure it was the vision we discussed! 100% recommended. They will make the flower portion fun and help with budgets!
Above and Beyond!
I cannot stress enough what a pleasure it was to work with Nancy at Albuquerque Florist! She did a fantastic job of interpreting my vision for the wedding, and really exceeded my expectations for the floral arrangements. The "elegant rustic" theme was carried through to each arrangement and bouquet for a perfect and beautiful display! She was very patient and understanding of the stressfulness of planning a big event, and made my floral experience easy and stress-free. Her customer-service before and even after the event was outstanding. Thank you, for making my day perfect!
LOOOOVVVEEEEEDDD my Flowers
Nancy did an amazing job with the flowers for my wedding. They turned out beautiful the colors and my idea of what I wanted turned out so beautiful and better than I even imagined they could be. I cant thank her enough. Prices for what I wanted were competitive with all the other flower shops I went to.

How many months before my wedding should I plan to contact Elite Wedding & Events by Albuquerque Florist?
Every wedding is different, but a good rule of thumb is to contact your florist seven months in advance. However, if your wedding has any special circumstances, it's best to contact a florist six months to a year before your wedding -- better safe than sorry!
What are some special wedding circumstances that would affect the amount of time I need to allot the florist?
Think about the particulars of your wedding. If your ceremony or reception is going to be exceptionally elaborate, you'll want to contact a florist six months to a year before your wedding. The same goes for weddings taking place on a holiday, or during peak wedding season.
When should I discuss my budget with my florist?
As soon as possible! Being upfront with your florist from the beginning ensures the best outcome for you both. Your florist will be able to tailor their advice to your wedding specifically, and will help you achieve your desired effect without going over your budget.
Do I need to bring anything with me to my initial consultation?
Yes, preferably. To better help your florist create a unique and memorable event for you, you're advised to bring any photos of your gown or your bridesmaids' gowns, fabric swatches, and examples to your consultation.
Would my florist be willing to help stretch my budget for floral arrangements?
Absolutely. Aside from suggesting flowers that are both beautiful and budget-friendly, your florist will be equipped with plenty of tips and tricks. For example, using your bridesmaids' bouquets as table decorations for the reception. There are plenty of creative options available to you!
