Understanding Couple's Vision

Carley and her team from Sweet Stems were SPECTACULAR! She was willing and able to get on multiple video calls with us just to discuss our vision, and provided some wonderful recommendations herself. When we asked her to get creative, she DELIVERED! Her pricing was extremely fair and worth every penny. Customer service was out of this world, she made us feel so important even though we knew she was working a busy summer of weddings! Would highly recommend Sweet Stems to anyone in the Reno/Tahoe area!

Sweet Stems and Co is a florist and photo booth business operating out of Washoe Valley, NV. We love getting to know our clients and finding your wedding style! With a keen eye for detail and a deep love of creating beautiful events, we work with your wishes and bring your dream wedding to life before your eyes. We like to start off with a questionnaire for you to fill out before setting up a one-on-one consultation to discuss your style and budget. We’ll design all the arrangements you need, from bouquets to centerpieces to arches, and handle the delivery and setup while you relax and get ready for the big day! Our photo booth is a converted 1970 Miley horse trailer. It’s solar-powered but can be plugged into shore power as a backup. It can be decorated with whatever you like to match your wedding theme! Our photo booth is entirely digital, so every picture taken gets saved to an album that you can view at the end of the party. All guests can add their phone numbers and email to see the photos for themselves!

Carley Watts

Owner

My name is Carley and I’m your lead florist / owner of sweet stems and co! When I’m not doing flowers I’m likely spending time with my husband and daughter, being outdoors and adventuring. My favorite flower is Gerbera Daisy or Dahlias. My favorite colors are orange and pink. I’ve always had a passion for flowers and art, my main objective when creating an arrangement is to achieve a high quality and lasting piece that is everything you want and then some! I look forward to working with an array of clients with different styles, from plain and simple, to the most extravagant and unique!

Carley with Sweet Stem and Co did such an amazing job with the florals for our wedding! Working with her was so easy. I essentially gave her the number of floral pieces we needed ...

and a Pinterest board and she took it from there. It was such a relief to trust someone with the vision and know it was in good hands. She created our bouquets, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception florals, and everything was absolutely beautiful. Honestly, when I saw everything on our wedding day it was far better than I had imagined. She completely understood the look and feel we were going for and brought it all to life perfectly. I would absolutely recommend Sweet Stem and Co to anyone looking for a florist. Her work was stunning and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out!

From our disco ball floral ceiling install, to our aisle runners, to our ceremony arch, to our sweetheart table – everything was beautiful, and the venue was really transformed into a dream. Carley was always very responsive any time I had a question and was super easy to work with. Carley not only executed our ideas perfectly but gave her input on what she thought would work best in the space, which was very helpful especially with my husband and I living out of state. We loved working with Carley and her team at Sweet Stems and would definitely recommend them!
