Stephanie and her team were amazing! We had an initial call and Stephanie created a proposal that was exactly what I was looking for. She accommodated changes I had, timelines that we were working with and created an atmosphere that was exactly how we envisioned. Thank you, Stephanie and team!
We used Flowers by Stem based on a referral, and we could not have been happier with how everything turned out.
We had a small wedding, and I very much wanted to be present for the day, not over-plan and stress out about small, ultimately-inconsequential details. As a result, I only had a vague idea of what we wanted. After limited Q&A and some feedback on some samples, Stephanie created a gorgeous vision board for all our wedding florals.
The bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages for my mom and MIL were gorgeous and matched perfectly. I didn't have a chance to appreciate the alter until after the ceremony when I finally got a break from portrait taking. I sat down and was in literal awe of how beautifully everything came together.
Then, our reception venue an was even better than we anticipated!
Most amazingly, the delivery and set-up was right on schedule. I decided it was a great idea to get married on the same day as the Chicago Marathon. How they navigated set up with street closures I will honestly never know.
We were so impressed. We highly recommend their beautiful work!
I hired Flowers by Stem for my small wedding in November 2023 and they were amazing to work with in the design and implementation for the big day as an out of state bride. My bouquet was incredible and included everything I could have wished for (and included the culinary herbs I asked for since we were celebrating in a restaurant). If I were having another event I would definitely call Stephanie at Flowers by Stem to hire them again.
Any questions?
I can’t express how pleased I was for my wedding flowers and plants. My vision was very rustic and highlighting air plants and potted plants to be a bit more sustainable on my wedding day and BOY did flowers by stem deliver. People complemented all night and it was such a treat for many people to take plants home. Exactly what I wanted and very easy to work with!

It was our honor to design flowers for you! We loved the airplants and potted herb vision you had for your wedding - love seeing these pictures! Congrats again!
Stephanie and the team at flowers by stem did a PERFECT job for our wedding. Everything looked beautiful and it was a stress-free experience. We got 4 other floral proposals and theirs was middle of the road in terms of price but what stood out was how well they listened and tried to understand the vision we were going for. Choosing flowers by stem was well worth the investment.
My husband and I booked Flowers by Stem after speaking with Stephanie and discussing our budget & vision. She sent back an amazing proposal and we just had to lock them in for our big day. From the beginning they were easy to communicate with and when things were changing closer to the date, they quickly responded and made sure we were all set. On the day of the wedding, they were right on time, and I am so thrilled and happy we went with them because the flowers and decor were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! Stephanie & her team delivered exactly what they promised and more! We received so many compliments about the bouquets, flowers & decor on the day-of and for days after! We truly appreciated how special they helped make our day! We cannot recommend enough!

Thank you so much for this lovely review! It was our honor to work with you and I'm so happy to hear our flowers made an impact on your guests. Congrats again!!
You will not be disappointed in hiring Flowers by Stem! After my first meeting with Stephanie she followed up within 24 hours with a vision board of inspiration and rough cost of everything I had requested. She took what I had in mind (classic, beautiful, elegant) and and made it so much better!! What I loved most: I have never seen another wedding with the same type of florals and design as my wedding had. And I loved that she was able to repurpose some floral arrangements to keep the cost reasonable. Thank you, Stephanie and team!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/05/2023
Thank YOU! It's our goal to reflect each couple's beautiful uniqueness in our flowers, and I'm so happy to hear you think we got it right. Congrats again!!
I have nothing but great things to say about Flowers by Stem! We recently used Stephanie and her team for our 200 person wedding. Stephanie was amazing and extremely helpful throughout all of the wedding craziness! If I ever had a question throughout the process her response time was unmatched. She provided multiple options for us and ways to save costs including constructing a beautiful faux flower wall for our ceremony backdrop which later turned into the photo backdrop for guests. Our wedding looked like a straight fairytale because of Flowers by Stem and we are forever grateful!
Response from the Vendor on 09/05/2023
Thank you for this beautiful review. We know how stressful planning a wedding can be, and believe that responding as quickly and thoughtfully as possible helps take some of the stress away - I'm so glad it worked for you! Congrats again!!!
We used Flowers by Stem for our wedding, and we could not have been happier with how everything turned out. We had a vague idea of what we wanted when we met with Stephanie, but she was able to take a few photos we liked and turn it into a whole vision board for all our wedding florals. The bouquets were gorgeous, and the boutonnieres matched perfectly. I contacted Stephanie asking if she had ideas for how to do flowers in my hair, and she suggested the perfect floral comb that looked incredible with my veil. We were stunned when we walked into our venue and saw how beautiful the dining tables looked with all of the florals, candles, and greenery. It was even better than we anticipated! The delivery and set-up was right on schedule, and we loved that Stephanie runs an eco-friendly company. All in all, I could not recommend Flowers by Stem more!
Had my wedding last summer and totally forgot to write a review for our wonderful florist - Stephanie.
Flowers by Stem is extremely accommodating for the Covid situation last year. They won’t charge extra for changing dates (even to another year) and they are easy to work with in adding or subtracting flower arrangements. And those things are tough to find on the market. It’s really reassuring for Covid weds.
Our wedding had around 50 guests. We searched for a long time for florist that can accommodate small, intimate wedding, since a lot of them are charging minimum $2500 / 3000? That’s out of our budget.
I wanted minimalistic, lots of green and pastel colors arrangements and banquet. Stephanie completely read my mind after a Zoom call and delivered my dream at my wedding!
Our wedding can’t be that perfect without her! Now whenever I’m looking at my wedding photos, I still love all the flowers! Thank you Stephanie! You’re the best!
Working with Stephanie at flowers by stem was incredibly easy. Stephanie was able to provide great recommendations that matched my vision and design plan, and the photos she provided matched exactly what was delivered the day of the wedding!
Stephanie has a great online payment/invoice system that made tracking everything we had contracted for easy and simple. It is clear that Stephanie and her team truly love what they do-that passion is reflected in the beautiful arrangements we received!

Thank you Valarie for your kind words! We loved working with you, and are so happy you loved your flowers as much as we did. Wishing you all the very best!
My cousin used Flowers By Stem for her June 2018 wedding and raved about Stephanie and her team. So, when we needed a florist for our own wedding we knew we wanted to work with Flowers by Stem. As someone who knows very little about flowers, I appreciated Stephanie's specific questions and suggestions at our first meeting. The proposal she put together helped us visualize what our day would look. She was incredibly understanding when we had to reschedule our wedding and shifted and edited our proposal accordingly. We were so happy with all the flowers Stephanie and her team put together. I could not believe how stunning the flowers were when they were dropped off at our hotel. I loved my timeless bridal bouquet! The bridesmaid bouquets and boutineers coordinated so nicely. More than one bridesmaid said their bouquet was the nicest one they’d ever had. When we approached Stephanie about our idea to use calligraphy vases and lanterns at our place card table, she was excited to help us carry out this vision. The final product looked incredible! Guests could not stop talking about how unique and well done it was. The centerpieces turned out incredible! The additional greenery and flowers sprinkled throughout the venue helped tie everything together. At the end of the night, the cleanup crew was very quick and efficient. The flowers held up so well we were able to use them at our brunch the next day. I’d highly recommend Stephanie and her team for anyone looking for a passionate flower vendor!

Thank you so much Megan! We loved working with you as well. My favorite part of your design was also the seating assignment set-up - it was so fun to design tiny floral displays within your jars and vases. Wishing you all the best!
My husband and I hired Flowers by Stem for our October 2020 wedding... which turned into a June 2021 wedding! Stephanie was very personable, professional, and responsive. When I first met with Stephanie, she really listened to what I liked and her proposal perfectly actualized what I had been envisioning for our wedding day. She has very creative ideas and an amazing eye for color and texture! When we had to postpone our wedding, Stephanie was very understanding and worked with me to transition our original fall color scheme/plan to a beautiful, bright spring color scheme. My bouquet was truly the most beautiful wedding bouquet I have ever seen (though I may be biased)! The centerpieces and greenery she arranged for our reception tables were stunning and perfectly complemented the venue and the season. Our family members were even smitten with their beautiful corsages and boutonnieres! We cannot recommend Stephanie and Flowers by Stem highly enough!

Oh, thank you Lauren! You were such a trooper throughout the Covid reschedule and I am so happy you loved the final result. Wishing you all the best!
Stephanie was SO wonderful to work with! After our wedding plans changed a month from our date, I frantically searched for a florist that would be able to pull off a bouquet, a centerpiece, flower crowns, and a centerpiece pretty last minute. Stephanie was the only florist that offered a phone consultation to talk about my vision. She completely delivered - even after I changed up the tables for the centerpiece several times - and the result was stunning! From start to finish, flowers by stem was perfect!
Response from the Vendor on 10/01/2020
Thank you Allison! You were lovely to work with and we are so happy we were able to work together on this very special day for you - congrats again and stay healthy and safe! :)
Stephanie was great to work with. She really listens to your vision & executes everything perfectly.
With a little over a month before our wedding, we decided to reach out to Flowers by Stem. From the initial conversation to the final execution, everything was flawless. During the process, we felt that Flowers by Stem was really working to understand our exact vision and provide us with everything we wanted, and they certainly executed it to perfection! The details in the centerpiece did not go unnoticed and with a full runner of greens and votives, it didn’t overwhelm the table. Our boutonnieres and corsage with simple in design and beautiful in execution. Lastly, we didn’t want the bouquets to overshadow those carrying them and at the end of the day, they were subtle, but people couldn’t stop talking about them. Every detail of our wedding, with respect to Flowers by Stem, was thoughtful, of high quality and truly perfection!
I absolutely need to thank Stephanie for providing such gorgeous arrangements for our wedding day. My colors were neutral- gray and navy, so I relied on Stephanie to bring some bold color and brightness to our June wedding. She delivered such beautiful pops of coral, pink, and navy to complete my vision. She also an absolute breeze to work with. I shared my ideas and a few Pinterest photos over the phone and then Stephanie made everything come to life. Trust me when I say, vendors like flowers by stem are the best because they are professional, easy to work with, and reliable!
Stephanie was so wonderful to work with! Seeing the final product on our wedding day, was more moving than I ever imagined. She brought our vision to life and it was so incredibly beautiful. The arch created for our ceremony was beyond perfect. Every little detail we provided was matched and I would highly recommend Flowers by Stem for your wedding flowers!
Provided flower for my wedding. Stephanie matched my bouquet which I made from flowers from my garden. It was wonderful and I would highly recommend Flowers by Stem!
Stephanie and her team did an amazing job! Using containers that had significance to the bride and groom, she absolutely nailed the look and feel that they wanted. Totally professional and so easy to work with - highly recommend!
Flowers by Stem made our wedding day pure magic. It's hard to describe what exactly we envisioned for our special day and I'm not sure I articulated the precise style and feel we wanted. But Stephanie delivered! She took what I did know I wanted, amplified that vision and brought it to life. She and her amazing staff transformed the space with her flowers. When I saw my bouquet, I cried. She even included a very special flower my grandmother brought from her garden last minute. Planning weddings are ridiculously stressful, but in looking back, Flowers by Stem brought an ease and joy to the process. I can not thank them enough.
Stephanie was amazing! She made everything I had envisioned come to life. She truly is an artist and you can not go wrong with hiring her for your flowers. 5 stars does not even cut it, if I could rank higher, I would. Thank you so much for being a part of our day and making everything impeccable.
Stephanie was amazing to work with. She made the entire order process seamless and easy, and was able to customize all of our arrangements to include the primary flowers we wanted and provided some great recommendations for additions to help fill out the bouquets & centerpieces. All of the flowers looked incredible the day of our event, and our guests took home the centerpieces and they lasted long after our big day!
If you are looking for a cost-effective, high-quality, professional, and creative florist for your next event, look no further!
Response from the Vendor on 03/10/2019
Thank you!! I am so happy to hear you loved the flowers. It was my honor to design flowers for you - I hope all is well and that you guys are enjoying life as newlyweds! :)
Stephanie is truly outstanding! We are so happy that we chose Flowers by Stem for our wedding flowers. From our first meeting, Stephanie listened and understood the aesthetic I was hoping for, and was able to illustrate my ideas in exactly the ways I'd envisioned. She was conscious of our budget and was able to deliver everything we wanted without going over. Throughout the entire planning process she was a joy to work with, and our flowers were absolutely gorgeous. We received so many compliments! Stephanie is incredibly talented, professional, and kind. I highly recommend Flowers by Stem to anyone looking for a fantastic florist, and will certainly use her in the future! Thank you Stephanie!
Working with Stephanie was awesome! She is so talented and friendly. She kept us up to date on all of the changes to my order and was so easy to work with. She even gave me tips to help me stay within my budget! Our flowers arrived on time and were even more beautiful than I imagined. They kept together well during photos around the city. We also had greens in our centerpieces that were beautiful!
Amazing work! The flowers we had on our wedding day looked EXACTLY like the pictures that Stephanie showed us. And all our flowers stayed intact during a very hot day in August. It was extremely impressive. Go with Flowers by Stem. You won’t regret it.
Beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful! Working with Stephanie at Flowers by Stem was a fantastic experience. She is responsive, professional, and delivers an absolutely gorgeous end-product. I'm not a huge flowers person and Stephanie was great at using her expertise based on my vague recommendations to produce a beautiful environment for our wedding. I was exceptionally appreciative of her help and assistance. 5 stars & 100% recommended! Thank you Stephanie!
Stephanie made my wedding flower vision a reality! The flowers and decor were perfect! She was so easy to communicate with which made working with her a breeze! She is passionate about what she does and the end result is beautiful! Highly recommended!
Stephanie was absolutely brilliant to work with. She listening to everything we wanted and made suggestions to help. After providing pictures of what we wanted we couldn’t believe our eyes. Everything was beyond expectation. Thank you so much to everyone at flowers by stem for perfection.
Stephanie was so great to work with and really listened to what I was looking for for my wedding flowers. She made suggestions on flowers that were in season, but listened when I said I didn't like certain kinds. The flowers were beautiful and she made suggestions on how to keep costs lower. I would definitely recommend Flowers by Stem!
Stephanie was a pleasure to work with and executed my vision for my florals perfectly. I sent her a few pictures of what I had in mind and was very pleased to see how everything came together. Very responsive to emails and very wonderful to work with- I made a few changes along the way and she was very easy going and understanding. Highly recommend her!
Stephanie with Flowers by Stem is just lovely! We worked with her for our June wedding florals. Right from the beginning, Stephanie was warm and attentive. She listened carefully to my requests to create a beautiful vision of the day. Throughout the process, she was extremely accomodating as I tweaked a few items and made various requests. Creating your vision is her absolute goal and she provides valuable design advice. When the flowers were delivered before the ceremony, I actually cried because they were so beautiful. They were everything I could have dreamed of and more. Her design went above and beyond! I received so many compliments from my bridesmaids and guests about the flower arrangements. This included an amazing hanging fixture at the reception that was the cherry on top! I loved working with Stephanie. She was kind, communicative and totally knowledgable. I would absolutely recommend working with her! You will not be disappointed in your choice.
Stephanie and her team were great to work with. I hired Stephanie because she was the only florist I talked to who understood that I didn't have a "vision" and that I was hiring a florist to make things look nice *for* me. Everything turned out lovely! I didn't want a bouquet and not only did Stephanie not try to pressure me into a bouquet like other florists did, but she made a great suggestion of a wrist corsage which turned out beautiful (not prom-y). I do wish they had been able give more guidance about the chuppah; we had to provide and set up our own chuppah cover and it turned into a bit of an ordeal. But it turned out great in the end and we were very happy about all of it.
Seriously the best! Stephanie did such an amazing job with my flowers for my wedding. She also coordinated with my venue coordinator and cake baker to make sure everything went smoothly behind the scenes. I was truly blown away by my flowers and couldn't recommend her more!
Stephanie was amazing to work with! From our initial call to seeing the finalized product exceeded our expectations. She helped me so much with choosing the most beautiful floral arrangements that our guests couldn't stop talking about. I could not be happier and hope to work with her again soon!
I am so glad we worked with Stephanie for our wedding! From the beginning, she was personable, kind, and patient. The flowers and decor she created for our wedding were stunning and helped bring to life my vision of elegance and romance. All of our flowers were so beautiful!!! I highly recommend flowers by stem!
My sister and I both used flowers by stem as our florist for our weddings and could not have been more pleased with the final products! Stephanie was a absolute pleasure to work with and her floral arrangements and bouquets are absolutely stunning! She was willing to work within my budget without compromising my vision. Highly recommend!
Stephanie was wonderful to work with throughout the whole planning process! She worked with the budget that we wanted to stay around and was quick to pivot with any of our proposal changes and was very responsive. I had absolutely no stress working with her and the flowers were stunning! If only the flowers lived forever...
Stephanie was wonderful to work with for our wedding day. I received so many compliments on my flower bouquet. Stephanie was incredibly accommodating and always available to answer any questions. Her work is flawless and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
We worked with Stephanie from Flowers by Stem for our wedding and I can honestly say I have never worked with someone so professional, helpful, attentive, and amazing before! From our very first consultation, Stephanie took our vision and made 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!
Stephanie has a real warm and genuine personality that transfers into her work. When I met with her initially, she was prepared with a "deck" of different flower cards so I could visually see the types of flowers she was recommending. It was a 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.
Finding a florist for our wedding was a daunting task. I’m not a flower-person – I know very little about different kinds of flowers, etc. – and a lot of what I was seeing online seemed way out of our price range. Stem was the first florist I contacted 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.
I selected Stephanie as my wedding vendor after seeing her outstanding work at another wedding. I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Steph. She has an extremely laid back vibe and never pushed her thoughts/opinions on me, only 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!
Stephanie and I have been friends for a while but it wasn't until I got engaged that I was able to tap into her floral talents. I came into our first meeting without a lot of direction other than what I didn't want and what my budget was. She came 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.
Stephanie was so great to work with. I definitely don’t know much about flowers, but she was so good at taking my vague descriptions and overall vision for my wedding and turning it into an amazing design, all while staying within my budget (and 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.
Stephanie was so pleasant to work with from start to finish, she was always easy to talk to and she definitely knows her stuff. She worked with my budget and helped me come up with ideas to give me the best value. Everything turned out beautifully 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!
Stephanie was an all-over life-saver and rock-star. First of all, she came to do my consultation less than a month before my wedding (thank god she was available) in my own home. With all the stress of wedding planning, not having to go to a flower 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.

Stephanie with Flowers by Stem was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our wedding planning process! Only having a vague idea of what we wanted, she completely went above and beyond, giving us a vision that we couldn't have imagined. We couldn't have been happier!
Stephanie thank you for creating beautiful bouquets & center pieces. You really brought the wild flower idea I had to a whole new level. The colors really popped off the bridesmaid dresses and the sunflowers were a great staple to each arrangement. Every flower you picked held up beautifully throughout the day. We loved working with you! Thanks again for being GREAT to work with.
Stephanie from Flowers by Stem did an AMAZING job for my wedding day!
From the get go, she was very responsive whenever I had a question or idea. She was enthusiastic and fun to brainstorm with.
I went into planning with a very specific look/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!
Stephanie was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was able to take my 'ideas' I had for our flowers and decor and came up with an amazing design while staying within my budget! The colors, detail and array were breathtaking and my bridal bouquet 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!!!
Stephanie is a great florist, who will work with your budget to give you the overall look that you want. She is full of great ideas to make your flowers unique and nothing like those cookie-cutter FTD or Telefloa arrangements. Highly recommended!
