5 stars are not enough!! Our family could not have been more thrilled with the flowers that Erin designed for our family wedding. The altar flowers at the chapel were truly stunning, and walking into the reception took our breath away!! The gorgeous bouquets and boutonnieres exceeded our expectations 1,000 times over and everywhere we looked were the loveliest floral touches. Thank you, Erin, for your incredible talent, guidance in planning, enthusiasm, passion, and kindness throughout. We highly recommend A Stem Above! Photos by Katherine Salvatori Photography

Creative and colorful!!
I had a perfect experience working with Erin on my flowers for my wedding at the Chicago History Museum in May. She's clearly very experienced and her creativity shines through while discussing options with her. She made the entire process very easy and enjoyable! Thanks Erin for creating so many lovely memories for us on our wedding day!

Perfection from beginning to end. Erin was a dream to work with and nailed my daughter’s vision for the wedding. Her bridal bouquet was over the top gorgeous as well as every floral and candle arrangement she provided. The transformation of the space for ceremony and then for the reception, stunning. She is truly an artist who takes a personal interest in her clients.

Erin and A Stem Above went above and beyond for our winter wedding this February. My husband and I were completely blown away when we walked into the Crystal Ballroom at The Blackstone Hotel and saw how beautiful Erin and her team had made the room. She completely exceeded our expectations and executed our requests/tweaks from the mock-up flawlessly. My family and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. In addition, Erin is an absolute pleasure to work with. Very responsive, receptive and has tons of examples to help visualize the big day. Highly recommend! Will update with professional photos when they are available. My phone photos don't do the work enough justice!

Erin and A Stem Above made our wedding at the Stock Exchange Room at the Art Institute absolutely gorgeous! She was professional, courteous, and on-point through the whole process. Even if you're not budget worried, Erin will give you input if something doesn't provide price point value.
My wife and I were able to view the Stock Exchange Room before the reception, we felt like we were in a dream. Thank you Erin!

I was OVER THE MOON with my wedding flowers from A Stem Above. I had researched some ideas beforehand of what I wanted my bouquet to look like, and Erin played off that to create the rest of the wedding vision with me, which I wanted to keep simple and within budget. Erin understood exactly what I wanted. She knows what today’s current trends are and has access to flowers that other vendors said they could not find. The day of the wedding she absolutely nailed it! Besides my dream bouquet, she put together the perfect loose florals for my hair and a breathtaking hanging arrangement to complement the handmade arbor my Dad built – with huge dahlias home grown in her garden. She made my secret garden wedding an absolute fairy tale. I highly recommend A Stem Above!
