Stems recently provided my wife and I with some of the most unbelievable flower arrangements we've ever seen. They worked off of just one photo and one conversation about our quirky and unique style and blew our minds with the end product. They worked with our antique dealer and with unusual items like rocks and shells and various antique containers to achieve a look all our own. You would be crazy not to hire Carey!!!

BIG, BEAUTIFUL BANG for your BUCK. I had a relatively small floral budget for my wedding, but you would have never known it! The flowers were so beautiful & there were a lot of them; no skimping here even on a budget! I had different arrangements for the tables at my reception and Carey made each table look so elegant. The overall look was stunning! After a basic idea of what I wanted for the wedding/reception; I left the details to Carey (not something I do easily) & she delivered! I got the colors & the soft look I wanted & none of the stuff I didn't want. From the pictures I've been able to share with friends who were not at the wedding (not even professional photos, just those taken by guests who were there), everyone has had something to say about how beautiful my flowers were. And they were! Most importantly, my bouquet was just about an exact match to the picture I gave Carey to use as a guide. I was so tickled she got it so right! She got all the small stuff right as well;, the candles, the corsages, the roses used in the tribute to our Mom's, the arrangement @ the Guest Book table, all of it! And the BIG BONUS, Carey is super easy to work with from start to finish.

We got Carey's name from a wedding planner who said Carey was amazing...and amazing she was! We were planning for the flowers to be beautiful but they were spectacular. A friend told me they were the prettiest flowers she had ever seen at an event! Carey made the process easy. We met with her and told her our color scheme and she asked questions to determine out needs and was willing to work within our budget! Thanks Carey...now I can tell others you are amazing!

Carey did my wedding on June 18, 2011 and was a very great vendor. I constantly had questions and would email Carey, and within 24 hours I would have a response. I had seen pictures of other weddings she had done online and knew I wanted to work with her. Immediately after meeting her, I knew she would be our florist. She is very kind, but also makes you feel like you have known her for a while. Sometimes, you get people who you feel uncomfortable around, and feel like they are only there to get paid. Carey is the complete opposite --she really listened to me and my ideas and seemed excited to lay out what I had imagined. Our wedding day came and I was shocked and in love with the flowers. We received tons of compliments on our flowers, and I would recommend her and Stems Company to everyone :)

Carey is amazing! She went above and beyond my highest expectations. When I saw the flowers at my reception, I actually gasped. They were perfect. The vases were perfect and the flowers were perfect. My bouquet was absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. She is a dream to work with. I have already recommended and I will continue to recommend her.

Stem Flowers was really great to work with! They understood my vision and enhanced it further with their great knowledge of flowers. Their decoration and arrangement was so beautiful and really set the tone for the wedding. They were also so easy to work with; always available to discuss ideas and completely flexible with working out all the details. It was a really great and satisfying experience to get to work with them! Thank you!

Carey from Stems provided floral arrangements for our 4/30 wedding. We could not have asked for anything better! From our first meeting, Carey already made us feel more like friends than clients! We had a beach themed wedding and told her a few ideas of what we wanted (more unique than standard flower centerpieces) and she ran with the idea! She even let us buy some of the shells, etc for our centerpieces ourselves to keep costs down AND came to our home to pick them up! We had the most beautiful, unique centerpieces we could have dreamed about. The boutonnieres were amazing - they even had tiny shells in them! And my bouquet and my bridesmaids were absolutely fabulous! She took my favorite flower and created such an amazing bouquet! Since we had our wedding at a more unique setting, where we had to do a lot of the work ourselves, Carey volunteered to help set up additional things that I wanted and stayed to help us clean up! We couldn't have asked for a more caring, talented and creative floral designer!

Stems was absolutely the most professional vendor with regards to unique ideas, flexibility, and being resourceful in adapting to our daughter's specific ideas for her wedding. Their understanding of how stressful a wedding could have become made her wedding a day to remember without any concerns. We have received so many compliments about the floral pieces beginning with the Church arrangements, to the bouquets, and table arrangements. When the opportunity arises again for such an occasion, we will certainly be contacting them once again without any reservations. The Mother/Daughter team is nothing short of FANTASTIC!!!

I cannot recommend Carey, and her company Stems Flower Design, enough! After meeting with several flower shops for wedding flowers, I was discouraged by their attitude and pricing, and was ready to make centerpieces myself before coming across Carey's website. Planning my wedding from out-of-state, I was hesistant to go with a company I'd found online, but after meeting with Carey I was sold! She was so nice and so professional, and listened to all of my ideas and came up with ways to make them even better. I'd wanted our flowers and centerpieces to be a little different from the usual hum-drum wedding bouquets and colors, and Carey knew exactly what I was looking for! I'm sort of a perfectionist and had high expectations but I have to say, I was just completely blown away when I saw her work on my wedding day!! Our bouquets were nothing short of amazing, and the centerpieces were 10x better than I'd imagined they would be! People could not stop talking about the flowers at our wedding, and a week later, my bouquet still looks almost perfect! Carey is a true artist and professional and I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone! I sort of want to get married all over again just so we can see more of her amazing work!! (:

Carey and her team did such a wonderful job for my September wedding, our guests could not stop complimenting her designs. I gave Carey some general ideas of what I was interested in: colors, style, and she made it happen beyond my expectations! All flowers and plants (we used some Bear Grass and Wheat Grass to create some very modern pieces) were very fresh, and every arrangement, bouquet and kissing ball was absolutely stunning. On the day of the wedding, Stems worked with my venue owner to set everything up; I did not need to have a hand in it, and was able to RELAX instead. The value of product and service STEMS delivers for the price is just outstanding, I will certainly be using them for my next fancy event (now just need to determine what that event will be- 1yr anniversary? )

Atmosphere! Stems came into our wedding and created the most wonderful atmosphere you can imagine. The centerpieces on all 12 tables where magnificent. They used tall and short vases with the same flowers and each one was fantastic. When you looked out across the tables it was a sea of color texture and dimension. Absolutely stunning. The bouquets picked up the colors in the table arrangements and the Bride's bouquet was eloquent. Stems was ez-y to work with, full of inspiration and ideas and made the entire event a pleasure.

Carey is absolutely amazing at her work with floral bouquets and decor, a true artist. She is enthusiastic, ambitious, really listens to your ideas and she adds even better ones and she is very flexible. She does what you ask her too! My bridal bouquet was what I imagined only so much better. It was Carey's flowers that brought tears to my eyes that day. You won't regretting choosing Carey as your florist, I promise!
