stem & vine

After two family weddings where Brianne, the owner of Stem and Vine, worked her magic, I felt it was time to share my experience. First, I want to say I am so impressed by how Brianne and her team consistently create stunning floral arrangements and event aesthetics, all while maintaining a positive attitude, even during stressful moments. I first worked with Stem and Vine for my daughter’s wedding in Kennebunkport in 2018. Living in California while the bride was in New York City, I was anxious about planning. However, Brianne quickly put me at ease during our first meeting. She listened carefully, shared her work, and showed a clear understanding of our vision. Her expertise in florals and her ability to combine unique elements made me confident in her abilities.
My daughter adored Brianne, and together they selected tablecloths, candles, and flowers, including some from her mother’s garden. The wedding was breathtaking, and the florals and elegant touches added by Brianne left a lasting impression on our friends. When last year in 2024 we planned another wedding, I immediately thought of Stem and Vine. This time the California venue had strict setup windows and a preferred vendor list, but Brianne flew in from Maine early to help with the welcome party, the wedding cocktail hour, and additional design areas. Having Brianne help saved my life. Thinking of her flying 6 hours and jumping into the wedding work with such ease brings tears. Brianne has become family to us, we love ordering from her and visiting her shop in downtown Biddeford, a fantastic place for gifts, and floral workshops that are enjoyable and informative. I wholeheartedly recommend Stem and Vine!

Brianne at Stem and Vine is the best! Her work is absolutely beautiful and she is very easy to communicate and collaborate with. I would highly recommend her business to anyone in need of flowers, especially wedding day flowers!

When I began the wedding planning process, I was really overwhelmed when it came to flower vendors - the price, options - it was a lot. I am so grateful we found Stem & Vine. They were extremely thoughtful in the planning process, made sure they understood our vision, and gave us creative advice on ways to stay in budget. I told Brianne I wanted simple arrangements that looked like you'd just picked wild flowers out of a field and she made it happen. When I walked into our wedding venue on the day of, I was entirely blown away. I started crying when I saw my bouquet lol. Brianne brought exactly what I'd been picturing to life. Choosing Stem & Vine was one of best decisions we made in the planning process!

Stem & Vine plucked from my head what I could barely describe and made my wedding flowers a more beautiful reality than I could have hoped for. Brianne listened to everything I said and manifested arrangements so original and gorgeous. I could not recommend them any higher.

Working with Brianne was one of the easiest experiences when it came to planning my wedding. From our very first conversation, it was like I was talking to an old friend! She was very accommodating with a site visit and her bubbly personality made the conversation fun. On the day of, she blew me away with the beautiful arrangements that were delivered. I was so honored to carry her flowers down the aisle. Look no further - Brianne is your girl!

Brianne was amazing to work with from start to finish. She was incredibly professional and helpful. She offered personalized suggestions and service.
Brianne and Stem and Vine far exceeded my expectations. The flower selection and colors were absolutely beautiful and perfect. They looked amazing in the function room. The flowers complimented the girls' dress colors and my dress so well! They look great in all of our pictures.

Brianne was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our wedding plans changed due to the pandemic, and she quickly pivoted to help us create a beautiful space for a livestream ceremony. From the intake process and sharing of preferences and a "mood board" to illustrate what kinds of things I liked, I felt like Brianne just GOT me. She created an atmosphere that perfectly captured the joy and ease we wanted to share with our livestream viewers. The morning of the wedding, she even helped me zip up my dress and placed the floral comb she created to complement my veil. When we are able to have an in-person celebration, we look forward to working with Brianne again!

Bre is amazing! My husband and I didn’t have a strong vision. Bre worked with us and created the most beautiful, natural, Maine-centric wedding! She built a chuppah from driftwood and decorated it beautifully. Bre made potted plants for our party, a boutineer and hair clip. She was flexible and created beauty beyond our dreams!

5 stars just doesn't seem enough!! Brianne is absolutely amazing and her eye for flower arranging is stunning-a true gift! We love how she finds the beauty in nature and uses locally sourced flowers and foliage. She made choosing the perfect flowers for our wedding so easy right from the start, even designed a vision board! Her passion for her craft certainly shines through in her arrangements :)

Brianne was such a pleasure to work with for my wedding on August 25th. I came in with a vague idea of what I wanted, and she helped refine my ideas and turn them into a truly magical day! My bridal bouquet was stunning! The tables were simple, elegant, and fun! I couldn't recommend Brianne more highly!
