Emily was such a joy and pleasure to work with throughout the wedding process, and I am truly going to miss our banter over the months! From the beginning everything was super easy, and Emily assured me I would be able to achieve what I was looking for within my budget (which I also loved, as many other florists only provided me quotes out of budget)! Every time we met to discuss what our vision was it felt like we were meeting up with a friend. It was casual but professional. And at the end of it all, I absolutely LOVED my flowers and every other little detail in between - the Anthropologie mirror, the candles, hurricane sleeves, golden lamps, etc - I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out! Thank you Emily, if I ever need florals in the future I know where to go :)

Emily did a fabulous job!! She was extremely easy to work with, very communicative, and professional. Was willing to work with me given my budget. Her creativity and style exceeded my wildest dreams. I still have people talking about how amazing the flowers and decor were. Could not recommend enough!! You’d be lucky to have her for your wedding

I cannot recommend Emily and her team enough. My husband and I call her the *MVP* of our wedding weekend. She did such an exceptional job on our florals, but we also used her for rentals, candles, and table numbers for rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and reception. She understood our vision. She was so kind and so easy to work with, especially with us planning a wedding from out of town. We always had the most confidence in her abilities to show up and create something beautiful. Being able to get our rentals and flowers for the weekend all from one vendor was such an easy decision for us. And a moment for my bouquet - she hunted these beautiful special peonies down for me despite being early in the season and I got SO many compliments on it. Emily, you are the most special human and I want to plan our wedding all over again just so I can work you!! Thank you for everything!!

We worked with Emily and her amazing team for our June 2025 wedding, and I truly can’t say enough good things about the entire experience. From the very beginning, Emily was warm, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. She listened to every detail of what we envisioned and helped bring it to life in a way that exceeded all expectations.
One of the highlights of the process was meeting with her at the florist warehouse to walk through flower options in person. It was such a helpful and inspiring part of the planning process, and really helped us feel confident about how everything would come together. Emily provided transparent pricing, offered thoughtful suggestions, and never once made us feel rushed or overwhelmed.
The flowers were delivered on time and looked absolutely stunning. People are still commenting on how beautiful everything was—from the bouquets and centerpieces to the two gorgeous floral pieces her and her team created for our ceremony. Every arrangement felt personalized, lush, and full of intention.
Emily also made payment super simple, and the whole process was incredibly smooth from start to finish. One piece of advice: definitely take advantage of their rentals! They had beautiful pieces that added so much to our décor without the extra stress of sourcing or storing anything ourselves.
If you’re looking for a florist who truly cares, communicates clearly, and delivers flawless results, Emily and her team are it. We’re so grateful we got to work with them!

Emily went above and beyond for our special day. She not only worked as our florist but also stepped in and helped me coordinate the entire day. I would have been completely lost without her! Her attention to detail it impeccable. She has the most calming presence which is exactly what I needed on my special day.

I cannot say enough good things about working with Emily (and her day-of team!) at Petal & Stem for our wedding! She was enthusiastic, friendly, and an outstanding vendor and partner for all things wedding planning! She knew our venue well and provided expert advice, ensuring that we were intentional with our budget and filled the space while also taking advantage of everything the venue offered! Petal & Stem's rental program is outstanding, as well! I have recommended, and will continue to recommend, Emily to any bride I know beginning the wedding planning process!

If we could give 6 stars, we absolutely would. Petal & Stem—and especially Emily—were such a huge part of what made our wedding so beautiful. The florals were stunning, but it was everything else too: from the candlelit tables to the mirror seating chart to the little details they added with their rentals, they created a space that felt warm, personal, and unforgettable.
Emily has such a creative eye and an easygoing energy that made working together so fun. She brought our ideas to life in a way that felt natural and effortless. We’re so grateful for everything Petal & Stem did to make the day feel like ours. Truly cannot recommend them enough

Emily was such a joy to work with! She walked us through every step of her process, even taking us into her wholesale to show us all of the available options in flowers, colors, and decorations. She did an amazing job taking what we like, turning it into beautiful pieces, and providing suggestions along the way when we weren't sure what to pick or how to stay in budget. Every flower and decor piece that Emily brought to our venue was gorgeous!

I’ve held off on writing this because I truly want Emily and her business, Petal & Stem, to succeed, but my experience was disappointing.
At first, Emily was enthusiastic and attentive, especially when it came to working within my budget. However, as the wedding approached, several key details we discussed didn’t make it to the day. For example, the card box she assured me would be provided was missing, and when my bridesmaid called her about it, Emily denied forgetting it, leaving us to scramble for a solution. I had also specifically requested candles for our memorial table and a basket of flowers for our welcome sign—neither of which showed up despite multiple reminders.
The bouquets were another disappointment. My bouquet and the bridesmaids were supposed to incorporate blue accents, but this detail was overlooked. Additionally, Emily miscalculated the number of bud vases needed for our tables, which resulted in me being overcharged. I caught the mistake myself and had to bring it to her attention.
What stood out most was that Emily left the venue without checking in with me—the bride—to confirm everything was set up as planned. This, combined with the missing details, made me feel like just another transaction in a long list of clients, rather than someone whose special day truly mattered.
While there were moments of beauty, like the seating chart, the overall process felt rushed, disorganized, and underwhelming for the amount of money I paid. I hope this was an isolated experience, but I cannot recommend Petal & Stem.

We loved our flowers from Petal and Stem for our wedding day! Emily was easy to work with and I enjoyed selecting the flowers and greenery with her. She has a great eye and also lets the customer paint the picture of what they are envisioning. The bouquets, boutonnières, and corsages were fresh and beautifully arranged. We would recommend them!

Emily is such a joy to work with. She nailed the style I was going for and all of our arrangements/bouquets were absolutely stunning. I couldn't be happier. She is so sweet and helpful through the process of deciding what flowers to choose. Not to mention she has an incredible story of how she got into this industry. She's so good at what she does and gives back to the community! No question about it, hire Petal +Stem for your special event!

Emily is a wonderful human being. She found time for me and worked with my crazy nursing schedule. My mother and I love flowers and she took the time to explain the different blooms with us to help us make the best decision for my wedding day. She always put my opinions first. She wasn’t trying to over sale things. She respected my budget. She answered all of my questions. She was so patient with me during crunch time. I showed her my inspo pictures and she made magic. I chose to use her arch and I have no regrets! She was able to provide flower petals/confetti for the send off and for my flower girls. I drew out my vision for my long tables and she was able to bring some life to the space. She even provided flowers for my cake and made it look spectacular! If you are looking for a kind, reliable, talented and hardworking florist. I urge you to give Emily a call!
