StemLine Creative

ide us on how to effectively utilize florals and other decor within our wedding space. He was extremely easy to work with, very responsive, and very organized. I was absolutely stunned on the wedding day when we got to the venue and it was at least 150% better than I could have possibly imagined. Ryan has a tremendous eye for detail and design- if you are looking for a truly outstanding florist, look no further

commended! He was one of our favorite vendors to work with - Ryan is warm, kind, passionate about his craft, and beyond talented. He is a great listener who gives sound advice throughout his very collaborative process, and he truly made our vision come to life (even better than my wildest dreams). From my bouquet to our various centerpieces, his work was breathtakingly beautiful. It was such a pleasure to work with someone who is both so talented and caring.

emLine Creative!

never have considered but looked perfect for how we imagined our wedding. Ryan was always professional - helping us stay within our budget and helping us seamlessly navigate all the changes to our date and guest count due to covid. When we were first planning our wedding, I did extensive florist interviews and Ryan stood out right away as creative, detail-oriented, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would recommend working with Ryan to any friends or family who had a wedding or other event!

for us. We had to push our wedding a couple times due to Covid, and he worked with us every step of the way, accommodating changes in date and venue and party size. We also had a pretty specific budget in mind for flowers and he respected that 100%. Highly recommend!

. On the day we went to the shop to see our sample centerpiece, all of the joy and excitement finally flooded back into the planning process. Ryan was not only energetic and excited to work with us, but the centerpiece was a work of art. He brought our vision to life and remained responsive and communicative all the way up to the wedding. Ryan decorated both our ceremony and reception spaces with so much attention to the details. Just before the doors opened for our guests, our wedding planner pulled us in to do a room look and both of our jaws dropped. It was all so stunning and so perfect. Ryan is just as kind and fun as he is talented and it was a joy to work with him!!

nd in beautiful condition and he was able to make a last minute addition for additional flowers for our cake.

d had to move it to the fall. With all the changes due to COVID I feel like we had to update things every few weeks. Ryan was so helpful, accommodating and supportive during the whole ordeal. On the day of the wedding my sister-in-law tried to have him change something without my knowledge, Ryan handled it like a true professional and involved me in the discussion, making sure it was truly what I wanted and help back me up on our original plan and vision. I really appreciated that! All of the details were perfect and I would HIGHLY recommend StemLine, they were so helpful and easily worked within out budget.

aving our flower mock-up. It is fun to see what you talked about come to life and really gives you comfort in knowing what to expect on your big day! Planning a wedding during Covid-19 is stressful but Ryan was very transparent in his communications and he was flexible as our event changed and ended up being much smaller in scale than originally planned. Working with great people like Ryan can make a stressful situation a little easier. Thanks again for being so enjoyable to work with and making our day so beautiful!

ledgeable, creative and brilliant at making our wedding flowers come to life. I highly recommend for any occasion!

ating with us insisting that you need to see the venue the Genesee Theatre all the way in Waukegan, in order to get the right look for all of the centerpieces, etc. When that stage curtain opened it was the flowers that made it phenomenal! “You are a sweetheart Ryan, and we cannot let you and readers know how lucky we were to make the right choice in choosing Stemline to handle our flowers. I personally loved all the unique flowers you used to make it so perfect. Please use Stemline Creative; you will be surprised beyond belief!

and creative and nice! I would highly recommend him and will definitely use him for future events!!

t recommendations and our day would not have been the same without his help. We would recommend Ryan to anybody we know looking for decorative help for any special occasion!

e we really got a lot for our money. He was really flexible with any changes or additions we needed to make, and very responsive. We had an initial consultation with him in his studio, and let me say, the studio space is one thing that sets Ryan apart from the rest. You can see the vases, the votives, the candelabras, and all the other decor pieces that he uses to design the floral setups. Besides our initial consultation, we also had a table meeting closer to the day of the wedding where Ryan walked us through a few different table setups. We loved what he had done, and he even gave us a bouquet to take home with us that day. After the wedding, we sent flowers home with family and friends (and of course kept several arrangements for ourselves). They kept for almost two weeks! We are so happy with what he did at our venue and within our budget, and we highly recommend him.

s very responsive throughout the whole process. Ryan has a fantastic eye for design and we knew right away that he would be able to execute our vision flawlessly. He listened to our ideas carefully and offered helpful suggestions to make them a reality. I had a few last minute changes the week of the wedding and Ryan made all the changes as requested without hesitation. When we saw the final design on our wedding day, we were so thrilled with how beautiful everything looked. From my bouquet to the wedding arch, every detail was perfection and exceeded my expectations!

to life our vision exactly how we pictured, and he wasn't outrageously priced. We had a beautiful mixture of floral centerpieces and pillar candle collection centerpieces, as well as string lights over the dance floor, uplighting on the perimeter and candles on candles on candles! He even let us bring in some of our own candles/votives to help keep cost down. He was quick in responses and I never felt like I was in the dark about anything. Everything came together perfectly the day-of and we received so many compliments on how stunning the place looked. We pretty much had a blank slate to start with and he transformed the space into a elegant, cozy and romantic atmosphere with ease. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and Stemline for ANY of your floral/decor/lighting needs!

ative, listens to your wants and needs and always has a beautiful creation that fits your vision. He is honest and helps you re purpose flowers from the church to the venue (they are too beautiful not to bring with to the venue). We also used table numbers through Ryan which were very elegant! Ryan dropped off our flowers, set up and came to pick up as well. We are so glad we got to work with Ryan, our flowers were gorgeous!

being my dream florist!

ir full service offering--not only do they do flowers, but they also do backdrops, draping, chuppahs, and various other ceremony/reception accessories. In addition, Ryan is SO QUICK to follow up on emails and easily adjusts to whatever change we had. We felt confident with Stemline throughout the entire process, and were overjoyed by the final product he delivered on our wedding day. Highly, highly recommended!

he bouquets, everything was perfect. The flowers were beautifully arranged and fresh; they stood up to hours of outdoor photos on a very hot day. Ryan is great to work with, he completely got the look I was going for right away and he was able to give suggestions within my budget, which I appreciated. Ryan has a great selection of vases and accessories too which can help to complete the look that you're going for. We also rented a pipe and drape which meant one less vendor to deal with for the day of. I would absolutely recommend working with Ryan at StemLine!

of superb design taste, common sense and courtesy turned the process into a pleasure. He estimated accurately, adjusted to changes and made our daughter's wedding glow.

ly to everything we described and executed it beautifully. He is amazingly creative and worked hard to honor our budget. Would highly recommend. He is very professional and worked hard to make us happy.

ly connected with him and knew he was the only person I wanted to work with for my wedding floral and decor. I gave him a brief synopsis of the look/feel I was going for and he took those few words and ran with them. I could just see his creative mind going and he got up to pull sample vases, linens, etc. that perfectly matched what I wanted. Ryan is incredibly responsive and is always willing to tweak ideas as you move through the planning process. When I decided I wanted a giant flower wall Ryan said "not a problem, what colors are you thinking?" which turned into a wedding highlight people are still talking about months later :) The day of my wedding Ryan personally came and delivered my bouquet and managed the entire set up of the ceremony and room flip for the reception. He is organized, on-time but most importantly, he is a wonderful person! Did I mention he is the best?!

too small or hit me with a minimum spend before even speaking to me, but not Ryan! He was extremely prompy and professional from day 1 and listened to exactly what I wanted. The flowers came out even better than I imagined and lasted well over a week according to guests to had taken some of our centerpieces home! His option to add setup of flowers/votives was especially appreciated, as I had peace of mind knowing that flowers/candles/votives would be setup exactly as we wanted and with his extra special touch. When I saw the venue, the flowers and entire room looked even more beautiful than I had imagined. He really made sure the flowers, candles, and ambiance were special and I'm convinced his special touch and vision completed the look we were going for. He is competitively priced but his attention to detail and service-minded attitude were unlike any other florist I had spoken to. I highly recommend!

yan was SO much fun to work with. He has a very special gift, not only for design, but also has a genuine interest in making an event special. We were blown away when we saw the venue. Ryan, Dan and the rest of the team went above and beyond what we could have expected. Dan even built a special platform for our wedding cake, so that we could display flower petals underneath it. Thank you so much for brining the vision of what we had in mind for our wedding to life! We would highly recommend working with StemLine Creative.

lls still looking at pictures!! He is truly an artist. He shows so much care and attention to detail with all of his designs. I definitely had a direction I wanted to go in, but I deferred to Ryan on all the details and I am SO happy I did because he nailed it!! We highly recommend Ryan! Our wedding would not have been what it was without him!

eautiful backdrop with cascading gladiolas, to the center pieces, to the bouquets carried by bridesmaids and bride - all were exquisite. I would highly recommend Ryan Turner and StemLine Creative.

to work with and came up with amazing floral arrangements/design for our wedding. I am not good with flowers and knowing what goes well together, so we left it up to Ryan on what would look good based on our color scheme. He did amazing! When I walked into the ceremony room on the day of the wedding, I was blown away by how beautiful and romantic the room felt. The floral arrangements on the tables and bouquets were beautiful as well. The only request I had was I didn't want the flowers to block people across the table and Ryan made sure the arrangements weren't too high. He knew our budget and stayed within the price point and suggested items that we didn't really need to spend extra money on, and re-purposed items from the ceremony and bouquets for the reception. I would definitely recommend working with Ryan and Stemline!

hat the ceremony and reception could be as beautiful as we wanted. He even showed up early and came to the bridal suite where I was getting ready to show me my bouquet. I have a really sweet picture now of me in my bride robe getting ready just beaming at my flowers. The process of planning the floral and centerpieces felt so easy. He also did a preview of what our floral would look like a couple of months before the wedding so that we could make any adjustments needed. None were needed - it was all perfect. I highly recommend him. Even though the shop seems small, he effortlessly pulled off our bigger wedding at the Langham. Ryan is extraordinarily talented and you can tell that he loves what he does and wants to make your day everything you are hoping for. I could have asked for nothing more from our florist. Thanks Ryan! I had so much fun working with you!

gn to fit my overall vision and budget. He was super quick to respond and was more than willing to accommodate last minute requests. I also got my bouquet preserved and the individual I am using said in her +10 years of experience, she's never seen flowers in such good condition days after a wedding. Overall the day turned out perfect and amazing all thanks to StemLine Creative!

eamless manner. Ryan helped my environment feel beautiful on my wedding day which is the trademark of a successful artist. All of Ryan's work represents his timeless, romantic, and stunning expertise. Thanks Ryan!

we had our final meeting with him, Ryan came and the two of them hit it off. Ryan and his team do amazing work from meeting me at our hotel to entering our venue and see how the room changes from ceremony to reception. Everything was done with perfection and seamlessly. Overall amazing experience and so glad we went with Ryan and his team at Stemline.

tention and made me feel completely at ease. The ability to see a mock-up of the flower arrangements prior to the wedding day was extremely important to me and Ryan took the time to go over every little detail in person to make sure everything was perfect. During the flower sample appointment, I decided I wanted a chuppah/canopy for the ceremony. I was having a hard time visualizing what the structure would look like, but when I saw it on the day of my wedding, it far exceeded my expectations. I had no idea it would be so grand or dramatic. It really set the stage for the ceremony and gave the space a romantic appearance. Since my venue was hosting another event prior to my wedding, Ryan's team had to set up everything in a very efficient manner. I had no reason to worry, because they were speedy, professional, and made everything look perfect. Ryan has great taste, so you can be confident you're in good hands. Even if you know nothing about flowers, he will take the time to ask you questions and get to know you in order to zero in on the best arrangements for your personal style. Plus, he is an incredibly sweet person. I truly enjoyed spending time with him and discussing different ways to make my wedding as beautiful as possible. I would recommend Ryan and his team at StemLine Creative without hesitation. If you want magazine-worthy florals at fair prices, get in touch with Ryan today. You will not be disappointed.

s of what the tables at our wedding could look like, all the while keeping our budget in mind. He didn't show us anything that he knew we didn't want to pay for and was extremely knowledgable about what flowers were in season and what made sense for us. After we had a final walk through with the venue, I decided that I wanted more candles than flowers because we realized it would be darker than we originally expected. Ryan was amazingly flexible and changed our contract. Everything that he told us he would do, he did x10! The bouquets were beautiful, the corsages looked fantastic, and the church and reception venue were utterly spectacular. I could not have been happier with the work that Ryan did for us! He made it so easy on me and was there any time I needed him!

geous. I think communicating to make sure everything translates from florist to venue, but none of the hiccups were major. We were very pleased and everything was beautiful

sion, answered countless emails and phone calls, worked within my budget, and created a beautiful setting for my wedding. THANK YOU RYAN!

rofessional and friendly, flexible to new requests and offered ideas and suggestions to help. We are from out of town and he made planning from a distance super easy. I would absolutely recommend Stemline for any event.

most particular person you'll find, and I wanted something over the top and perfect for our wedding. From the second we sat down with Ryan, he completely understood what we were going for and, better yet, he enhanced it and executed it better than I ever could have imagined in my mind. We walked into our wedding and I had never seen something so breathtaking. The level of detail absolutely blew my mind. Each flower was literally placed distinctly where he wanted it and you could tell. He even surprised us and put a single flower on each of our menus which just put it over the top for me. With StemLine, not only are you getting the best of the best in terms of talent, but you are getting an honest owner with fair pricing and a true passion for what he does. Thank you Ryan, more than we can even put into words for creating what we can only describe as perfection beyond imagination. I cannot stop looking at photos and just drooling over all of the detail that I couldn't even take in that day!

ng day. Even when I asked if the two of us could have just a small touch of bling he saw to it. Thank you Ryan!

Ryan really nailed it with my vision for the floral during the ceremony and reception. My fiance was VERY picky about the flowers (bless his heart) and I actually had to do two mock ups/meetings with Ryan. The last one of these was completely last minute. Ryan was able to meet us on the weekend, go through a ton of iterations of candles etc and was so patient when we basically settled on what I had already chosen. The day of the wedding was wonderful, the bouquet was beautiful and our Chuppah was one of the most elegant ones I have seen (I am biased obviously). I had so many people comment on how lovely everything looked and am just thrilled with Ryan's work. I would 100% recommend him for any event. He truly is imaginative and brings your vision to life.

ive and had no comments about our budget, just willing to work with it. He was very responsive to our questions and just has a great eye for design. The bouquets and the centerpieces on the tables at our reception were just beautiful (each table was unique with an different arrangement of flowers and candles). We talked to three different florists before finding Ryan and he was a clear favorite from the get go. Price, attitude and creativity with Ryan were exactly what we were looking for. I highly recommend!

als for our wedding. He was able to take my "here's what I think I want, but have little-to-no knowledge about flowers and decor" and create a look and scheme that was absolutely PERFECT and what I'd wanted. He was quick to respond, extremely patient with visits and updated proposals, and honestly laid-back enough to not cause undue stress for a bride. He also is so dedicated, passionate, talented and easy to work with. He didn't nickle and dime, respected our budget, and make everything beautiful. I would absolutely choose him to do our flower design, if I had it to do over again. I heart Stemline. *They have a new address on Grand Ave.
