Stemming From Love

vision come to life on my wedding day and I couldn't be more grateful!

mony floral floor arch. It was so unique and different, I was obsessed!! I didn't give super strong guidelines on what I wanted, because after following Jess for a couple of years on insta I knew everything she created was amazing so I didn't want to restrict her talent. I am so glad I did that because it made the wedding day a fun surprise to see her creations!! When she walked in I was blown away. We went with a lot of neutrals and it was so soft and pretty and completely set the mood for the entire event. They were elegant and really brought our wedding up a notch. I was even able to rent little bud vases and other items to pull the entire look together, super convenient service. Highly recommend Jess for your bridal or professional floral needs!!

so it was extremely difficult to compare quotes before the others would expire. Our first communications prior to booking were all via email and it was the only way I had available to contact her, which initially I didn’t think much off. After booking I inquired what the timeline of planning and locking in final details was so I had an idea of what to expect over the next year or so. She responded back to me she would get back to me within a week or two after busy season which was totally fine considering we had so much time left. Two months later I never heard back so I followed back up, still no response. A couple weeks later I found out from my venue that we could no longer do the main floral instillation I planned and was quoted for by Jess. I yet again reached out to follow up, because this was now going to change plans and I don’t know the planning process and wanted to make her aware but also discuss future options so I knew cost if it were to change. I still never heard back now three months later. After this I started reaching out to Jess via Instagram because she is so active on her account. I sent two messages, the last one on Jan 26 and finally heard back via IG Feb 17 and then she finally responded via email Feb 22. This is now 4 months without responses to my emails and the reason we were given for the lack of communication being backed up in the office and issues with sending emails. In this day and age, it just doesn’t seem like a great excuse, having difficulties with emails, for 4 months. Or if this is so at least follow up with your client via text or call, which she did have my phone number. Due to the lack of response I had to start looking elsewhere as it was starting to cause too much stress and also, we were unsure how this could impact our budget and it was affecting our planning. Luckily, I was able to find a florist through a good friend and unfortunately had to terminate my contract with Stemming From Love. I followed up with an email that same day she responded back to me, Feb 22, informing her of this and explaining why I had come to this decision. I’m not quite sure what I expect from her at this point but I still have not heard anything back from my email and it is now June 12, so for all I know she still thinks she is my florist for my wedding? I hate to write this review especially since I didn’t end up getting a full experience with her services (why I am still giving 2 stars) and she does seem to have a lot of great reviews however I do think it’s fair to give others a warning. There are a few mentions of poor communication in some of her other reviews however to me this is a bit unprofessional, and total opposite experience I’m having with all my other vendors. So, for those who like reasonable communication it should be a warning that communication may be longer than expected. If this is something someone is able to know upfront and okay with then that’s great because it seems like others really do love her work. For myself, had I known what exactly “slow responses” meant, I probably would have reconsidered the other company I was between even though it was a little more expensive.

ad in mind but I gave her a lot of room to make it her own and she NAILED it and it was beyond anything I could have imagined! I am still getting compliments on every piece she did for us. Jess, you're a genius!

t ideas! Thanks Jessica for the wonderful floral arrangements!

I was so thrilled with her work! The only thing I would say is that the response time for emails was a bit slow because they are so busy, so make sure you give plenty of notice when making changes! I would highly recommend her for any event!

iked and just ran with it. I'm pretty sure the only guidance I gave her was that I wanted lanterns as part of the centerpieces 😂 it took so much talent and creativity to make my extremely vague flower design dreams come true, but Jess went above and beyond! She and her husband, Zach, made our ceremony spot and reception hall an autumnal dream with her blend of colorful mums and perfect pumpkins--she even included a hidden Mickey!

how her picture of what I wanted and her work was above and beyond anything I could have imagined. In addition to the traditional flowers and centerpieces that weddings have, she was able to create the most amazing flower backdrop wall against a staircase in our venue. Thankfully we were able to hold our wedding at the same venue as originally planning but we did have to move our wedding date - Jessica was incredible to work with though the entire process, including during COVID when everything was unknow for a period of time.

! Highly recommend!

much Jessica! We loved everything!

edule our meetings. I was beyond happy with her services and would HIGHLY recommmend her to everyone!

ked with her!

so personable and friendly, and I loved that she's younger and more relatable than some of the other florists we visited. She knew exactly what my husband and I were wanting from our flowers, and she exceeded our expectations. She also provided us with really organized and easy-to-understand mockups, quotes, and examples so that we knew what to expect on our wedding day. She did a great job rolling with the punches and being adaptable, too - we had to use our rain location the day of our wedding, which was unplanned, of course. Although I didn't hear about any of it as the bride (which is also great!), we had to completely change how the flowers looked during the ceremony to accommodate for unexpectedly different types of chairs. I didn't even notice when I walked down the aisle, and they looked even better than I thought they would!! She also was great at being sensitive to cost and giving us many options for different setups. If you're looking for your wedding to look like a picture-perfect dream, Jessica can make it happen! Thank you so much, Jessica, for making our wedding so beautiful and memorable! :)

a timely manner whenever I had a question. My bridal bouquet turned out ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! The bridesmaid's King Protea's were BEAUTIFUL with just some simple greenery and ribbon. The centerpieces were beyond what I imagined. Jessica knows what she is doing and I would not use anyone else! THANK YOU JESS!

he listens to every detail you want and comes through with it. Thank you so much again Jessica for all your hard work you are AMAZING!

was a pleasure to work with her.

prices are reasonable, and her work is stunning.

I signed my contract with Jessica on October 12th after getting a quote. We went back and forth on various flower and greenery options and said we would figure out a time for a call and/or meetup later on, “in the next month or so”. Six weeks roll by and I realize I haven’t heard a thing from Jessica. I email to touch base, ask her about a date to meet etc. Nothing. I give it a week – still nothing, so I follow up to make sure she received my email. Days go by. No response. Here’s what it took: a voicemail on her cell, a post on her company’s Facebook wall, and a text begging her to let me know if she is no longer available so I could find another florist. Bottom line-I did not receive a single response from the time I sent her the deposit until the day I asked for it back. And the kicker, “the deposit is nonrefundable via the contact”. Great. At least I finally heard back from you. Lesson learned.

hey were well made, properly sized and comfortable. - Table arrangements - very tastefully done and elegant. Complimented my theme nicely. - Cake decor was not my favorite but was still pretty. Wish there were more roses and less green. Not a big deal. Communication and organization could be improved. - I had requested my flowers arrive in time for my first look (same with my husband's bout). They did not make it there and instead we got them at the church. This was OK with me (although not my preference/request). Jessica did text me to tell me they would not make it which was informative and helpful. - Bigger problem was that 10 minutes before I was about to walk down the aisle, my mom came back into the limousine asking where all the corsages were for the mom's/stepmom's/grandma's and my dad's bouttoniere. All were missing. I called Jessica immediately and only then did she tell me they were missing and would not make it due to a delivery issue. This happened 10 minutes before I walked down the aisle. We were sad because all 6 corsages and 1 bout *my dad's* were all missing. I had a small bridal party so having these missing was sad. The refund amount came to $195 which I didn't really feel made up for the loss, but that accurately reflected the dollar amount of what was missing. Jessica said she would refund me via Venmo, but I did have to reach out a week later to remind her to do so (which she then did). All in all, SFL's work is beautiful, but there were some logistical problems and missing work.

s/concerns related to the vision I had for my wedding. When the day came and she showed up to deliver the bouquets for myself and my bridal party, I was in awe of how she created such stunning arrangements that fit perfectly with the ideas I gave her. In addition, when I saw the reception space decorated with the rentals and other florals that she provided, I was beyond thrilled. She took my vision of a moody, romantic, elegant space and made it exactly what I wanted it to be. She's truly an artist and I couldn't be happier with her services. I would recommend her to anyone!

en imagine putting there. We are so grateful for her hard work setting everything up herself to make our special day so magical. Jess was so easy to work with and is so passionate about what she does and I couldn’t of imagined our day without her!

ruly nailed it. When I met with her she seemed to understand what I was looking for and I completely put my trust in her to do what she does best. The day of the wedding I could not wait to see my flowers and they were absolutely breathtaking, one of my favorite parts of the day, the flowers really pulled the whole look together. I can't say enough good things about Jessica and her work, she is just amazing at her job! On her website you can submit a questionnaire form and she will get back to you with a quote, its so easy!

l for everything they did for the wedding. They also went as far to bring vases for our tables. Everything really looked amazing.

Jessica delivered! The florals were amazing and everything I had hoped for. i received compliments the whole night. Jessica was also so easily to work with and I vibed really well with her. Highly recommend!
