About

Established in 1989, our Fourth Street location has become a community staple and we are dedicated to nourishing longstanding relationships with our clients. Our team will work with brides to develop a unique and affordable floral package for their wedding. We primarily service weddings in Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties, and other areas of the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

Fresh flowers and plants come into all three of our locations every day, and we hand-pick many of the flowers early in the morning from the San Francisco Flower Market. We work with many local flower growers, who provide unique, organically grown flowers, branches, fruit, vegetables, and foliage for a lot of our designs. We also receive myriad products shipped directly from growers around the world - orchids and tropical flowers from Hawaii, Singapore, and Thailand, and off-season flowers from New Zealand, Holland, and Japan.

Working with Stems/ Vanda floral Design was such a great experience. They were so helpful, setting up the centerpieces for us, and renting out lanterns so we could have the centerpieces we wanted. The flowers for our ceremony were absolutely beautiful -the bridal bouquet was GORGEOUS, I cried when I saw it. I was planning a Sonoma County wedding from Indiana, so they were very responsive and easy to work with via email. Thank you to Bryce for all of his help!

My family has been going to Stems for all of our floral needs for years! I'll be honest that they weren't my original first thoughts for my Wedding florals as I wanted something more bohemian and all I had seen from Stems was very classic, timeless displays. But wow, did they prove me wrong!!!!!!! They made me the most beautiful, organic, cascading bouquet I had ever seen. They really made it custom to my style and were willing to work with me and my vision.

Delivery day of was seamless. They are pros and execute without haste!

I brought them a palette to follow, inspiration photos from Pinterest, centerpieces to fill, and had a moongate for them. They went above and beyond and it was truly beautiful. I'm a little sad about Barb retiring, but I know her son will do the Stems legacy proud! Thank you!

These guys recently switched owners. Bryce took over my order and was incredibly professional, delivered exactly what I wanted, and delivered everything on time. The flowers were the exact palette I was looking for, and my bouquet was absolutely gorgeous!! The arbor they made for our ceremony area was also stunning, and we received so many compliments from our guests (including from my mother-in-law who is a floral decorator herself). Thank you so much Stems Floral!!

Barbara at Stems was amazing. She was highly recommended by both our venue and our day-of coordinator, and they were right! She worked hard to make sure all of our flowers were beautiful, and they were exactly what I had described to her I wanted. And to top it off, she is an incredibly sweet and warm person. We can't recommend her more highly!

Barbara was the first florist we interviewed. She was low-key and low pressure. She did have a checklist of all the various ways flowers could be used in the ceremony which we found helpful. We interviewed several other florists but liked her style of design best. The flowers were GORGEOUS and received countless compliments on the day of the event as well as afterwards when looking at photos. I do not like the "Club" style of bouquets that seem to be popular these days and she was willing and able to make my bridal bouquet in the cascade style where hands are hidden behind the bouquet. I wanted this for the bridesmaids as well but either I didn't communicate that clearly or she misunderstood since the bridesmaids bouquets were in the "club" style. They were still beautiful! One regret was since we left for our honeymoon immediately, the hotel ended up with our gorgeous urns of flowers. I wish I'd thought to make arrangements to have the flowers sent to a seniors home or hospital. Highly recommend Barbara.

Barbara is a professional. Unlike other vendors, she did not try to upsell nor did she bombard us after the initial meeting. Hers was the lowest of 3 quotations. Follow-up communications were easy and she ended up delivering exactly what we wanted.

Barbara did an amazing job on our wedding flowers. She was a pleasure to work with. She had great ideas and worked with our likes and dislikes. Barbara stayed with in our budget and didn't push us to rise it. We got lots of great comments on our flowers and we both loved them. We would use Stems again and would definitely recommend Barbara and Stems.

We did not decide to have a florist until about one month prior to the wedding. My Wedding Coordinator, Denise Kramer, once again worked her magic and hooked us up with Stems. After one 15 minute meeting with Barbara, I gave her my vision and did not see her again until the day of the wedding, as I was planning everything from the other side of the country. Needless to say, with little guidance, she was able to bring a fairytale wedding to life. Barbara's talents are unparalleled and her taste is flawless. She was not only able to find flowers that were out of season (peonies in July) with virtually no notice but also had special roses flown in! She knew the layout of my venue and decorated it "to the nines." The flowers added a tough of elegance to my venue that I never would have envisioned myself. Barbara surpassed my expectations. So glad we chose Stems!!! Would recommend to any bride looking to at that touch of flare!!! Love Beth & Jeff

Stems Floral Design kept to our style and colors but went above and beyond what we expected with our floral arrangements. People raved at how beautiful our flowers were. Stems provided the highest quality of service of all of our vendors but was also competitively priced. I highly recommend Stems Floral Design.
