Highly Recommend!!!

Ashley with Gathered Stems went above and beyond to make our bouquet flowers and reception space look absolutely beautiful. She even brought a bouquet sample over to our house beforehand to let us see her vision for the day. I literally gasped when I walked in and saw how beautiful the flowers turned out at the venue the day of our wedding. Her work is amazing, we had great communication start to finish, and she was very reasonably priced as well. Cannot recommend Ashley and Gathered Stems enough.

Would Love to Hire Her Again!

Wow!! Those are our only words. We were looking for a florist who could transform space and really create a mood. Ashley went above and beyond. I teared up when I saw our wedding dining room. She took a couple of pointers and made it the absolute maximum it could be. She also worked us through two iterations of color choices and was very patient. Overall, she was affordable, professional, and, most importantly, had a creative vision that created the whole wonderful mood around our wedding. To me, that's a very rare combination. Guests from 12 countries and just as many U.S. states all remarked at how breathtaking they were. Ashley, wonderful!!

Ashley at Gathered Stems is a phenomenal florist and absolutely wonderful to work with. She turned our visions for a beautiful spring wedding into reality. When our gorgeous arrangements arrived on our wedding day we were speechless- everything was beyond perfect and exceeded our expectations! We have received so many compliments on our arrangements that were truly magazine worthy. Ashley is extremely knowledgeable, professional, honest, and delivered high quality arrangements for an unbeatable price. We highly recommend Gathered Stems and will continue to support this amazing local business for years to come.

Ashely from Gathered Stems did a fantastic job with our wedding flowers! I could not have been more impressed by the quality of product and service - the flowers were fresh, the centerpieces were sized perfectly to fit our long tables, and email responses were very quick. Ashley definitely has a keen eye for composition and creativity - which I appreciate! I would recommend Gathered Stems to anyone looking for a flower vendor!

We recently contracted with Ashley at Gathered Stems for our daughter's wedding . The quality of the flowers, the colors and combinations were stunning . Ashley went the extra mile and obtained flowers that several other florists told us were out of season and unavailable . A month later I am still getting compliments on the flowers. Don't waste your time with other florists . You won't find anyone better or more talented than Ashley . Weddings are too important to settle for second-best . Lastly , I was very pleasantly surprised to find Gathered Stems prices were less then the other florists I contacted.

Gathered stems did a wonderful job of putting together the flowers for my daughter's wedding. As a person who does not like to obsess over details, yet wants things to be just right, I could not have been happier with Ashley's work. I relied on her to deliver a beautiful product and she did!

Gathered stems did the flowers for my wedding and they were perfect- exactly what I had asked for and envisioned. We discovered Gathered Stems after several disappointing meetings with another local florist. Ashley was able to see my vision on the first try and was able to find the specific flowers I wanted, even a few that were out of season. The flowers and greenery were beautiful and great quality. I felt so relieved when I saw the mock-up table bouquet she had done. The pricing was also very reasonable. My parents and I were so happy with the services provided by Gathered Stems and with the care and attention that Ashley and the staff used to make my wedding flowers exactly what I had imagined.

Ashley and the rest of the gathered stem team did a phenomenal job with our flowers for our wedding! All of our guests commented how amazing they looked, including my MOT who doesn't like flowers! She definitely knows what she is doing and you will not regret choosing her! She was very flexible with me when I needed some things to change and I really appreciated that. We went on our honeymoon and came back a week later and the flowers still looked AWESOME! Do yourself a favor, and pick them!!!
