The Stem's End

st price and Gail was a dream to work with. Just by speaking with her, I knew she would do the most amazing work.

so lovely to work with as well- they really seemed to care about making our day perfect!

ived so many comments about how stunning the florals were for our wedding.

oposal was easy to understand and extremely reasonable for the gorgeous work she does. Couldn’t recommend her more!

quets and centerpieces were even better than I could have imagined. The way she sends over the proposal with all the images and details was easy to picture and work with. It helped me to see it all together and how it would come together. You are in great hands with Rachel and I would highly recommend!

mbs and transform simple ideas into flowery fairytales. When I was first asked about my vision for the wedding, all I wanted was flowers and colors. Rachel brought both and then some! The floral arch, the bouquets, the centerpieces, the cake décor, and the chandelier greenery were all anyone could talk about! We ended up designing the rest of our wedding around Rachel’s proposal. Stems End are true artists. Rachel is a dream to work with for any bride-to-be: she’s quick to respond, she is full of ideas and guidance and will find a way to make your vision work. She goes above and beyond to communicate (we met via phone/email and got to go see the shop in person!), delivers a transparent proposal, and offers amazing rental options for vases and LED candles. She can translate any idea into a bouquet seamlessly. We wanted to do something special with our cake a few weeks before the wedding, and Rachel came up with the wonderful idea of a cake meadow – not something I would have ever dreamed of! It turned out gorgeous, and one of my favorite details of the day. Stems End was the first vendor I reached out to when we started wedding planning, and it made me so excited for the planning I had ahead. I cannot recommend Rachel and Stems End enough to anyone looking for flower arrangements for any event! They are spectacular!

l beaded bracelet for the mother of the bride corsage. I would order flowers from them every day if I could!

ld be beautiful, but the bouquets ended up even more stunning than I thought. Gail immediately captured my vision after our initial phone call when she sent my vision board. What I love about her work is the mix of colors and textures that she is able to blend so beautifully. My bouquet was my vision brought to life! Can't recommend The Stem's End enough!

ded plenty of pictures, which were helpful to envision everything. Gail and her team also worked with us to repurpose our ceremony florals for our reception space. Along with flowers, we rented candles for our reception and Gail and her team not only set them up but came back at the end of the night to pick everything up. Highly recommend ! (Will add more photos when we get all our pictures back from photographer)

were perfect. She was so easy to communicate with leading up to the day.

. There is a picture of me seeing my bouquet for the first time and my smile was humongous. Because it was perfect. Highly recommend working with The Stem's End.

d every question I had about pricing options and was very clear about what would work best for our budget and venue. The vision boards they provide are perfect for people who are not super familiar with flowers and made me confident that we were on the same page after our call. Communication was timely and consistent. Definitely recommend The Stems End to anyone needing wedding flowers!

rom my bouquet to the ceremony installation they created for us and everything in between. Gail understood our vision from the very first meeting we had and her and her team were so easy to work with. Cannot recommend The Stem's End enough!!

of inspiration photos and a single color to work with, and she was able to create the florals I didn’t even know I was dreaming of! Working with Gail throughout the entire process was very straightforward and seamless. She really helped me think through all my floral decisions. I also ended up having to postpone my wedding due to COVID and she was extremely accommodating with moving my date. This team is so talented!

bout are how incredible the florals were. The colors and textures that were used created such a cheerful fairytale. As much as I would love to say my bouquet stole the show (it was STUNNING), the biggest buzz was the “Pocket Garden Boutonniere” they created for my husband. It was so incredibly perfect! Gail was such a joy to work with. She genuinely cares for her clients and wants everything to be perfect. She was very up front with the costs so when it came to the final bill, there were no surprises. She also had some great rentals available such as the bud vases and candlesticks. It was wonderful to not have to secure those on our own. I also want to give a shout out to her staff member, Rachel. She was so friendly and so helpful that day. We were in a rush to get ready to walk through the door and my bouquet was wet from sitting in the vase. She quickly grabbed it and completely dried it off with her shirt, no hesitation. Just so I wouldn’t get dripped on or had wet hands!

rm was amazing and was easy to always access. Gail took our vision and created it to be perfect. Her suggestions were amazing. Seeing my flowers on my wedding day, I cried!!! They were so romantic and everything we asked for. All flowers were beautiful, fresh, and everything we ever wanted. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Stems End for creating our vision and being amazing.

estions and I could tell from our discussions that she would do a wonderful job. But I was truly blown away when I saw our flowers. She and her team exceeded all of my expectations! If you're considering booking The Stem's End, do it! You won't regret it!

beautiful florals. I went with whites, greens and pampas grass as my theme and they went above and beyond. They helped alleviate so much stress on my wedding day knowing that I was in such good hands. They are so easy to work with, efficient, and truly care about their couples and their work. I got married at The Barn at Stoneybrooke and they coordinated so well with all of my other vendors it was a breeze! Thank you so much Stem's End!!!!

g my wedding and when I left our appointment, I immediately canceled my consultations with other florists. I knew she understood my vision and would bring it all to life. And my goodness did she and the Stem’s End team deliver! When the flowers arrived the day of, I was speechless. They were STUNNING. Stem’s End provided our bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, centerpieces, cake flowers, and ceremony and cocktail hour decor. They also provided a box of matching flowers and greenery for our photographer to use in detail photos. I had my bridal bouquet pressed into a keepsake and am so grateful that I can continue to enjoy its beauty for years to come. Overall, I was thrilled with their service and would HIGHLY recommend hiring the Stem’s End dream team for your wedding!

ctations. She is truly an artist.

roughout the planning process. Gail was great with suggestions and making sure that my vision came to life. The flowers were absolutely incredible and we had so many people ask about Gail and her services. Highly recommend!

ills creates the most beautiful fall wedding I could have ever dreamed!! We had the most beautiful ceremony arch that she repurposed behind our sweetheart table and the flowers of our bouquets complimented everything so well. Every step of the planning process is was so easy. I still am not over how gorgeous everything turned out. She even surprised us with some extra greenery on certain decor and details the day of I did not expect! I cannot recommend the stems end enough! Cannot wait to see my beautiful bouquet preserved.

iled, and thorough proposal that provided a cost breakdown, photos of inspiration, etc. She was so helpful and accommodating to all requests and changes. The Stem’s End truly made our wedding stunning and cannot thank them enough for all of their hard work and creativity!!

onths and many consultations to find Gail and as soon as we finished our first phone conversation, I knew she was perfect for our event. Her prices are very reasonable and her talent is undeniable!!! Our wedding was October 1st and had a moody, whimsical vibe, set in a historical garden venue. It rained a little on our day and the candles and greenery with pops of flowers on our reception tables created such a cozy, intimate, romantic vibe. My bridesmaid dresses were velvet floor length in a mix of 5 different colors. Their bouquets were stunning and helped to create such an elegant, stylish, cohesive look (I was worried I had leaned too trendy and the girls wouldn't look good together in such a variety of colors but Gail made sure that didn't happen)! And don't get me started on my bridal bouquet - I was blown away by how absolutely gorgeous and gigantic the blooms were and so were my guests. I received SO. SO. SO. many compliments and everyone was asking who my florist was all night long. I also sprung on Gail last minute the task of creating a floral hairpiece for me since I couldn't find any other hair accessories I liked. I sent her a picture of myself at my makeup/hair trial so she could understand what I needed and that was it. I didn't even send any inspiration pictures and thank goodness I didn't because my hairpiece was the prettiest thing I've ever seen and I couldn't have imagined or Googled anything better. It's made of dried florals too (Gail's idea!) so now it's an heirloom I can keep forever. Trust Gail and her team with your day. They won't disappoint.

ed them for our wedding reception (which was about 1 year in advance). Unfortunately her team ran into an issue with multiple out of stock items (which my husband and I didn’t know until after the fact) so on our wedding day, we received all white & green bouquets - rather than the ones we had discussed, which were centered around taupe roses / amber & burnt orange tones. I thought I had been clear with my vision - our proposal was very specific, had been revised throughout the year, and even included a collage I had made on canva with the feel & color of the bouquets I envisioned (I am unfortunately unable to attach photos of this on The Knot, but a few are on wedding wire). In hindsight I really, really wish they had communicated the stock issues and offered alternative options beforehand (even if that meant added costs), rather than just deciding what they thought we would want. Our wedding was a moody October fall-themed event with tones of amber, chocolate brown, gold, rust, and some dark ivory (every aspect of the table decor was DIY-ed by me, including the 30+ dried floral centerpieces). Despite not containing any copper or rust tones, our floral columns did come out beautiful - which is the main reason for the overall positive review. However as you can imagine, our ‘plain’ white & green bouquets (which are in ~50% of our photos, and 100% of the wedding party photos) just didn’t fit at all aesthetically. On the morning of the wedding, once I saw the bouquets and was upset, Gail did go out of her way to try to add some neutrals into my bouquet and our floral columns. Apparently she also tried to add florals into the bridesmaid bouquets but was met with resistance (my bridesmaids had already gone out and bought florals to add in themselves, after seeing how upset I was) - and she didn’t communicate with me or ask whether or not I wanted her to add to those bouquets as well. She also gave us a ~10% refund and returned the tip we had given her, which was appreciated but honestly felt like a drop in the bucket when considering the discordance between our drafted proposal and the bouquets we received. Even our sweetheart table had red and white florals scattered across it, which again was not what we discussed, and unfortunately looks odd in photos next to our other decor. Gail was very apologetic for me being upset, for her not producing a product I loved, and for the stock issues - but ultimately she did not take responsibility for the lack of communication, nor did she validate the discordance between our proposal and the product received. It really makes me sad to even post this but at the end of the day it’s something I hope other brides can learn from. While I knew having a florist was important, it’s the one aspect of my wedding I didn’t ‘micromanage’, which was a mistake - your bouquet is in almost every formal photo with your husband, and you don’t want to feel sad looking at a significant portion of your photos because of the florals! I recommend that brides 1) are explicitly clear with their expectations, and 2) have contingency plans for if an item is out of stock, so they aren’t disappointed.

th pricing, and nothing was a surprise charge. They captured my daughters vision and came with the most beautiful flowers. They are very responsive during the planning process and went above and beyond. I almost started to cry when I walked into the reception and saw the centerpieces. AMAZING!!!!! Thank you for transforming that venue into a floral masterpiece. Thank you for being so easy to work with too, planning a wedding is a stressful venture and Rachel made it easy for us. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for all your flower needs. I would hire them again in an instant.

y and were so accommodating to the last minute things that I added on. I cannot recommend The Stem’s End enough! I would also say they’re pretty fairly priced based on some other quotes that I had received which is a bonus considering the top notch quality that they bring. Thank you again!!

step of the process. I could not have been happier with my decision!

he phone about my ideas and I sent Gail a ton of photos she made a gallery of all my ideas. We also went into her studio before the wedding just to see some of her flower bowls and stands in person. They were putting together flowers for another wedding and it was so cool to see her process. She was so sweet and showed us options and it really gave me a better feeling of how everything was going to look. The day of my wedding she came into my bridal suite with the bouquets and I’m not even kidding I screamed!! It was like she was in my brain and got everything I wanted perfect down to every detail. All my colors were bright and vibrant just like I wanted. Book The Stem’s End as your florist for your wedding. Gail and her team will make your dreams come to life!

way by the beauty of everything the team created. The team at Stem's End was extremely kind, communicated well over the many months planning, and overall very helpful on my wedding day. Gail's team exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend The Stem's End to any bride in the Philadelphia area!

ay Of setup and even brought extra greenery to add to other vendor tables. The colors that they arranged for her "FALL" wedding florals were amazing and we received countless compliments on how the florals were the most exquisite that folks had ever seen. Highly recommend this team - they are by far THE BEST!

sign exactly the look we wanted for our big day. The result was stunning and better than I could have imagined. Please do not hesitate to choose the Stem's End!

first conversation, it was clear that she cared about my wedding day just as much as I did and that she would bring my vision to life (which she did!). I never had a reason to worry about my florals during the entire planning process or on the day of. Everything came out perfectly. Choosing Stem's End was one of the best decisions I made!

ing, which really helped the vision come together. She made it so easy and our flowers were beautiful. I highly recommend The Stem’s End for your wedding flowers!

ped my vision and helped recommend florals that fit into that vision. Absolutely everything they did for our wedding came out beautifully and we got so many compliments from guests. I would choose them again and again!

The Stem's End was incredibly affordable, and we were BLOWN AWAY by the beautiful floral designs they created. We wanted lots of color, a mix of live and dried flowers, and non-traditional flowers (no roses!) They created truly stunning bouquets and table arrangements using over 60 vases that my mom hand-painted. They even created a beautiful asymmetrical spray for our arch made by our friend, having only seen the finished structure a week before the wedding. Gail was friendly, helpful, and super responsive in all of our interactions. And the day-of staff was efficient, timely, and outgoing. We are so happy we chose The Stem's End!

t the planning process. I can't recommend her enough!

vision of a rainbow spring garden and she guided me through a process I was unfamiliar with- booking wedding flowers. Everything she sent in her proposal is exactly what I got on the day- no surprises other than the absolutely stunning setup once I got to my wedding site where I trusted her to decorate as she saw fit and it was UNBELIEVABLE. She was communicative, punctual, kind, and very reasonably priced and worked so professionally with my budget. Days later everyone is still raving about the flowers. Stop looking and book her, she is the most talented and kind vendor and you want her for your wedding- period.

at was in season, what would look good together, and how to make things work when I asked for a change last minute! My flowers were gorgeous and everyone still comments on how beautiful the pieces were! I am SO thankful every time I look at my wedding pictures!

irst found Gail on Instagram I fell in love with a styled shoot she did. I reached out to her and could not have been happier with how easy and incredible she was to work with. I changed things up a few times throughout the course of wedding planning and she never made me feel like I was being difficult (something every type A brides dreams of). I sent her photos thinking “we will get something like this”. Never did I dream she could make my wedding look exactly like the inspiration pictures I had sent. She is simple amazing at what she does and was able to work with our budget. I cried when I saw my bouquet and people to this day still tel me how gorgeous it was. Thank you so much Gail! We are so so grateful

ything turned out from the entrance flowers, table pieces, including the sweet heart table and I especially loved my bouquet! If I could add pictures here I would. Would recommend!
