Working with Leslie was such a joy - she is professional, responsive, and best of all, she is SO GOOD at what she does. I’ll be the first to admit that I know nothing about flowers, but I am also a bit type A, especially when it came to wedding planning, and Leslie was always there to answer my million questions, suggest different kinds of flowers when I would send her random pictures I found online, and work to make my vision come to life. Our flowers turned out 10 times better than I could have ever imagined and I can’t thank Leslie enough for all of her hard work.

We booked Leslie back in 2019, but had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, and she was always super flexible and willing to work with us. About a month before our wedding, my now in-laws asked her if she would be able to do some arrangements for our welcome dinner the night before the wedding - Leslie had another wedding that night, but was willing to help out with this last minute and all of the floral decor for this turned out amazing as well.

I would 10/10 recommend working with Leslie and Southern Stems! Thank you for everything, Leslie!

Leslie with Southern Stems was so amazing to work with! I knew the magnolias were the flowers that I absolutely NEEDED to have for my wedding. Leslie made that dream happen. After vaguely describing to her my wedding style, she took that and ran with it! She couldn't have made anything more perfect! The floral arrangements she created brought everything together and was the most perfect detail for my wedding. It rained the day of my wedding so we needed to take pictures on the porch. Leslie had created the most beautiful backdrop for those pictures with magnolia leaves hanging from the chandeliers. She went above and beyond with making everything SO BEAUTIFUL!

I will be the first to admit that I know nothing about flowers, but Leslie steered me in the right direction for our wedding florals and the results were amazing. Our colors were navy and burgundy and she incorporated those colors into everything that she did for us. She went out of her way and came to the venue on many occasions to see what lanterns she could use and where she could use the flowers in case of "Plan B" (rain). She put many extra touches everywhere at the venue with greenery here and there to tie each and every part of the wedding together. I would highly recommend her for any of your floral needs!

Leslie with Southern Stems did an amazing job for our May wedding at Foxhall. She provided her professional advice and insight when I was trying to pick out what I wanted. She was incredibly helpful and responsive. We had a few last minute changes and she accommodated without question. Our experience working with Southern Stems was amazing.

Leslie is one of the nicest, most talented florist! I didn't meet her until a few months before the wedding to start getting an idea of what we wanted to see! As someone who knows nothing about flowers, she took my floral bridesmaids dresses, the guys suits, and ties, and went to town. She was throwing around names of flowers I had never heard of but she would show me a picture and I would be in love. Having floral bridesmaids dresses I was worried about flowers being too much but I was so wrong. She did a WONDERFUL job and I was obsessed with our flowers that day. She took the reception to a whole other level with the placement of flowers and reusing bouquets to give a whole new look to the guestbook table. I highly recommend her and her services, you won't be disappointed! Pictures by Kandi Daniels Studio Venue is Vinewood Stables in Newnan, Ga. Bridesmaid dresses from Show Me Your MuMu Weddings

Leslie is amazingly talented and so passionate about her work. It was so much fun to describe what I wanted and watch her face light up with ideas about floral arrangements and decorations. Everything turned out beautifully! She made the day absolutely gorgeous.

Leslie is amazing. I had no knowledge of flowers. She took my ideas and colors and created the most beautiful bouquet for me. Thank you so much!!!

Leslie was truly a pleasure to work with. We were out-of-staters who communicated with vendors via emails and phone calls for nearly the entirety of the wedding planning process. As such, we really appreciated (and only worked with) vendors who were super responsive. For both decor and the bouquets, I didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted. Leslie was able to provide incredible insight which made the process of finalizing floral arrangements quick and painless.

Leslie is so down to earth and such a talented person. She made my mom and I feel so special as we went through the floral design process. I loved working with her, I don't know a lot about flowers so she took my basic concepts and worked with me to create an amazing vision based off what she knew would look good and not just in theory. I couldn't stop thanking her for my florals, everyone thought most of them were fake because they were so beautiful. She rearranged her busy schedule to meet with me during times of panic. She made my enchanted outdoor garden wedding theme come to fruition even though it was inside. Truly magical!

I have always believed that it is never too late to say I'm sorry, I love you, or thank you...and in this case, a thank you in the form of a review is LONG overdue. My husband and I were married at Vinewood Plantation on October 30, 2015; it will forever be the very best day of my life. Leslie with Southern Stems did the most amazingly beautiful job with the florals for the bouquets, the boutonnieres, the corsages, my hair, and the decor for the ceremony and the reception. Our wedding planner and Leslie helped me to navigate the process of choosing and communicating information about florals remotely as this was a destination wedding for us. At our final walkthrough meeting she was prepared, warm, and very accommodating. I would recommend Leslie and her talented team at Southern Stems for anyone in that area.
