Gardena Floral (formerly Florals by Adena Inc.) — Attraction in Philadelphia

If you’ve come across Adena, no need to look any further, you’ve found your florist! My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Adena for our July 2023 wedding and we strongly recommend Adena for your floral needs without reservations! Not only did our wedding florals turn out to be even more magical than we could have ever imagined, the process of working with Adena was seamless and we really felt heard and taken care of. Adena listened to what we envisioned, and helped us articulate it further by providing visuals in her proposal, asking questions at our consultation meetings, and listening to our reactions during the mock up! On the wedding day, it seemed as if she had pulled the wedding flowers I had always dreamed of straight out of my imagination! We obviously were obsessed with our florals, AND we received so many compliments from our guests about the beauty and uniqueness of the ceremony statement pieces, the bouquets, and the reception table florals! Practically speaking, she was a dream to work with. She was responsive and prompt, shared different options and helped us think through how each would work with our budget and overall vision, and was proactive and collaborated well with other vendors to help ensure that her team could be prepared to execute on the wedding day. This all gave me a lot of peace of mind. Lastly, after the mock up and the wedding day, Adena had put together floral arrangements for us to bring home. It was truly a special touch and a beautiful reminder of our special day for the days to follow. All to say, we strongly recommend Adena to help you bring your floral needs to life! Couldn’t...

Working with Gardena Floral for our April 2025 wedding and rehearsal dinner was truly one of the best decisions we made during our entire planning process. She was, hands down, one of our favorite vendors to work with. From our very first call and venue walkthrough to the wedding day itself, Adena consistently exceeded our expectations in every sense. She was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful in every interaction. Her eye for design was amazing - the point where I often referred to her formal proposal when showing friends and family our wedding plans, and even used it as inspiration while working with our planner on the overall vision board. Adena was very proactive, clear, and responsive in all communication, which we especially appreciated given the evolving tariff situation. She was very collaborative when it came time to select upgraded rentals and incorporate personalized elements like a cake meadow and aisle decorations. Every detail felt intentional, cohesive, and beautifully executed. She went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, like including lilacs for my grandma and coordinating with a local non-profit so our arrangements could be repurposed for hospitals and assisted living communities after the wedding. Of all our vendors, I had so much confidence in Adena’s vision and execution. When I look back at wedding photos, I’m SO happy with how the floral details turned out, and there’s not a single thing I would have changed. We also got so many guest compliments on our florals. My only regret is not budgeting even more for flowers, because Adena’s work was truly...

My daughter’s late August wedding was just 2 weeks ago, and I can’t say enough about Florals by Adena and the absolutely gorgeous florals Adena designed and delivered for my daughter’s special day. Engage this woman and her team: You will be thrilled with the result! Adena's proposal was detailed and professional, and she struck the right balance between coaxing out my daughter’s vision while providing her own professional opinions and suggestions. The entire process from proposal to contract to communication throughout my daughter’s engagement was seamless and top notch. On the day of the wedding, I couldn’t believe how enchanting everything was. The overall effect was that someone wandered around and picked the most beautiful seasonal flowers you could find in a top-notch cutting garden. Nothing but oohs and ahs from all the guests on the gorgeous flowers and the overall design which made it seem like the flowers were growing throughout the venue. Finally, Adena and her team delivered the flowers promptly on the wedding day, and the design set-up all ran incredibly smoothly. I didn’t worry about anything because Adena is such a consummate professional and engenders the utmost confidence. When she swept in with the personal flowers she was all smiles and so energetic! I highly, highly recommend Adena and her team if you are looking for something just a little different but with a natural, “as far as you can get from artificial”, feel. What a wonderful experience!
