d her to anyone!

it into a dream. I was a pretty clueless bride on in flower department, and she made sure every aspect was covered and done beautifully. She helped us stay within a budget, while still making our venue and our arrangements look absolutely stunning. She arranged for an assistant to drop the flowers off when I changed timing last minute, and Stephanie stuck around to make sure the transition from ceremony to reception decor went off without a hitch. I received numerous compliments on the floral arrangements, and my bouquet was hands down my favorite part of the whole day. I would recommend Stephanie and the whole team of Flowers by Stem in a heartbeat, and I can't say thank you enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

casual meeting over coffee/tea which seemed to generate her creative process. Her quotes were easy to follow in terms of pricing/detail, so if any changes needed to be made (and we went through three revisions), they were easy to track. On the day of, I was blown away by how lush and gorgeous the bridal and bridesmaids bouquets were. The color absolutely popped! I requested ferns for our centerpieces, since our theme was inspired by the Redwood forests from a trip week took to CA/OR and boy did she deliver. Not only did she include ferns, but she sourced SIX different varieties to be included. We requested gold vases for our round tables and clear bud vases for our rectangle tables, and again, she truly delivered. There was so much variety, in terms of both the vases (square and trumpet-like for the gold) but the arrangements (she also included this light lavender in addition to the burgundies, greens, and ivory flowers in the final proposal) were like visual candy for our guests eyes when the reception space was revealed. I did provide some heirloom vases to be used and when I went to pick those up from her studio following the wedding. She included 1/2 dozen roses "just because". It's those caring little details that make her extraordinary at what she does.

ontacted and we set a time to meet. We met informally at a coffee shop which was a nice, low pressure way to get to know each other. Stephanie listened to all of my ideas about flowers (and the décor in general) and we had a really good back-and-forth with brainstorming ideas about the flowers. She even had note cards with all different flower types and colors which was super helpful. Stephanie also offered a lot of expert opinion and insight. For example, I had originally wanted my bridal bouquet to be all white with the bridesmaids bouquets in deep saturated colors. Steph suggested that the bridal bouquet have some color in it too – that it would stand out more against my dress in photos. I liked the idea and agreed and was so happy with that decision! You could tell that she’s done a lot of weddings, she had some great ideas but also was pushy about it. It was a great collaboration After the initial meeting, Stephanie sent a detailed proposal with every floral item listed individually with a description of what it was and what flowers would be used. She also included some of my own inspiration images and imagery of the flowers she was using at the top. This helped document the color story and flower selections. The way in which the information was presented in the proposal was very clear as to what we were getting. The best part was she was able to work within our budget! On the day of our wedding I never saw Stephanie or her helpers. They were in and out with their delivery to our venue and everything was there ready for us when we showed up. Everything was fresh and lovely. I would highly recommend Flowers by Stem for their value (both financially and also their valuable experience level). It was a really easy and stress free process working with them and everything turned out just as we had discussed.

nly helped my obscure vision come to life and then some. I will never forget walking into our reception and being totally blown away by the winter wonderland she had created out of the very fewest seeds that I had provided her. Even our wedding planner, who unlike Steph was rather difficult to work with, could not stop gushing over how amazing Steph's floral designs were. While my husband and I got married almost two years ago, we still use Steph for all our major events, most recently our little boy's baptism...she is just that wonderful!

ame back with a few options that met those needs and we landed on a direction. From the bouquets, to the corsages, to the table centerpieces - everything was done with the utmost attention to detail. The quality of the flowers were top notch and her presentation only added to their beauty. Stephanie is an easy going, warm, creative and honest business owner. I came back a few times with revisions and she was accommodating and happy to meet my needs. My only regret is that, in the whirlwind of the wedding day, I didn't get a chance to say thank you to her in person. I would recommend Stephane and Flowers by Stem to anyone for any occasion.

nd no pressure trying to get me to raise it like I ran into with other flower vendors). She was also very good at suggestions on ways to make the arrangements and bouquets even better, which I totally appreciated! She was so reliable, responsive, and easy to work with, and the flowers arrived at the venue right at the scheduled time. All the flowers for the wedding were beautifully arranged, high quality, and gorgeous.

fully and she was able to bring together everything we had discussed so that it was exactly how I had envisioned it, in fact probably better than I had envisioned it!

ower shop or do this over the phone is a huge plus in my book. She got my vision, personality, and budget all in one sitting. We sat together to look-up different flowers and create the perfect plan. She's no-pressure, low-key, ultra-friendly, and knows her stuff. You'll never feel like she's ripping you off. You feel like you are in good hands from start to finish. She is a reliable vendor and I'd be delighted to work with her again. -@emilybelden

e couldn't have been happier!

gement. Every flower you picked held up beautifully throughout the day. We loved working with you! Thanks again for being GREAT to work with.

/feel of my wedding and flowers were the most important part to me. I could not have been more pleased with what a great job she did in making my vision come true... I still have people commenting at what gorgeous arrangements I had! She even painted all of my vases herself, when she couldn't find what I was looking for in my budget! The flowers we are so fresh and beautiful and lasted beautifully throughout the entire day... even the hydrangeas, which I know can be tricky. The quality was outstanding. I would HIGHLY recommend Flowers by Stem for your special day!

ouquet was a dream! She went above and beyond with her execution and attention to the smallest details that completely transformed our venue. Her personal attention she gave us by hand delivering the flowers, the instructions and delivering the grooms flowers all while also being present at our venue made us both feel so special and taken care of. With all the stresses that can come up on your wedding day, her calm and attentive demeanor certainly made all the difference! Thank you!!!

d!
