As a bride and also a wedding vendor (I'm a photographer), I knew that gorgeous flowers were essential for the vision I had for my wedding. I've known and loved Stephanie's work for years, so when we finally chatted about what I wanted, I knew it had to be her and the Flowers By Stem team. The 2 most important aspects that vendors can offer are the quality product and great communication. Stephanie exceeded every expectation. I was very particular about what I wanted and was SO grateful that she really listened to me, even when I didn't know how to properly describe what was in my brain.

Working with Stephanie was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She listened carefully to my vision and brought it to life in ways that exceeded every expectation. My bouquet featured Lily of the Valley, including some stems my mom brought in from my childhood backyard, a deeply personal and meaningful touch that I will never forget. The reception venue was nothing short of breathtaking, with stunning springtime colors and candlelight woven together in a way that felt both elegant and dreamlike. Throughout the entire process, Stephanie was exceptionally responsive and a true joy to work with.
Stephanie and her team at Flowers by Stem made our wedding day beautiful. She took my disparate ideas and turned them into the most perfect candlelit floral displays. When we first started discussing the day, I had an idea of colors and and overall vibe, but Stephanie helped me fine-tune it until we had come up with a vision that was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. She understood exactly what the space (and the vibes!) needed, and never made me feel like a nuisance when I had “just one more quick question.” Every time I look at pictures of my wedding day, I’m struck by how beautiful it was, all thanks to Stephanie and Flowers by Stem!
