Southern Stems

Leslie is amazingly talented and so passionate about her work. It was so much fun to describe what I wanted and watch her face light up with ideas about floral arrangements and decorations. Everything turned out beautifully! She made the day absolutely gorgeous.

Loved her creative eye!

We just got our pictures back from our wedding and I am in love again with all the flowers created by Leslie. When I first met with her, I had no idea what I really wanted except for colors. She took our budget and offered suggestions to help give us the most bang for our buck. Aside from the beautiful flowers, Leslie and everyone on her team was so sweet and helpful. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but it really helps to have knowledgeable and friendly vendors!

I have always believed that it is never too late to say I'm sorry, I love you, or thank you...and in this case, a thank you in the form of a review is LONG overdue. My husband and I were married at Vinewood Plantation on October 30, 2015; it will forever be the very best day of my life. Leslie with Southern Stems did the most amazingly beautiful job with the florals for the bouquets, the boutonnieres, the corsages, my hair, and the decor for the ceremony and the reception. Our wedding planner and Leslie helped me to navigate the process of choosing and communicating information about florals remotely as this was a destination wedding for us. At our final walkthrough meeting she was prepared, warm, and very accommodating. I would recommend Leslie and her talented team at Southern Stems for anyone in that area.

Leslie was absolutely fantastic and my flowers were everything I envisioned! I honestly had no idea what types of flowers I wanted or how to describe what I liked but we sat down and looked through my pinterest board I had made with favorites I'd seen and she was able to pick out the flowers that I apparently liked (because they were in almost every photo!) and offer look-alike suggestions if they weren't in season or if we needed to cut back on the budget. Highly highly recommend. She's wonderful and has such a creative vision, you won't be disappointed!

Leslie does a lot of work at Vinewood and was a natural choice for my daughter's wedding. The work she did was fabulous - perfect selection of florals for a mid-September wedding to match frosted blueberry bridesmaid dresses and with a hint of Fall colors to reflect the transition of the season. The arrangements for the ceremony and reception were perfect for the venue and reflected the rustic elegance of Vinewood.

Leslie was great! Worked with our budget, while still getting in everything we asked! Everything was beautiful!

Very pleased with all the arrangements and the service provided by Leslie. Everything was just like I had always imagined!

The majority of the coordination and communication with this vendor was via email because I was planning my wedding from out of state. However, they were very easy to get in contact with and replied to every concern/email. I was able to meet with the florist one time when I was in town. I provided the florist with swatches that I purchased of the exact colors of my wedding & pictures of exactly what I wanted at the wedding. I was very specific about the colors I wanted for each specific bouquet, boutonniere, centerpiece, etc. The corsages, bouquets, and boutonnieres were exactly as discussed. They were GORGEOUS! However, the large centerpieces during the reception were none of the colors that I asked for. NOT EVEN CLOSE! Additionally, the floating tealight centerpieces that I requested did not resemble the pictures either. I contacted this florist after my wedding & I was informed that "florist get as close as they can". However, that was never discussed in the email when I requested specific colors and types of centerpieces. Basically, easy to do business with but the quality of the work is mediocre for the price paid!
