    Thank you so much Flowers By Stem!

    I have nothing but great things to say about Flowers by Stem! We recently used Stephanie and her team for our 200 person wedding. Stephanie was amazing and extremely helpful throughout all of the wedding craziness! If I ever had a question throughout the process her response time was unmatched. She provided multiple options for us and ways to save costs including constructing a beautiful faux flower wall for our ceremony backdrop which later turned into the photo backdrop for guests. Our wedding looked like a straight fairytale because of Flowers by Stem and we are forever grateful!

    Amazing Chicago Florist!

    Flowers by Stem perfectly mastered the romantic, classic, and fall vibe we were hoping for with our wedding florals. Stephanie is truly an artist and worked from day 1 to make sure that everything was absolutely perfect and aligning with the aesthetic vision we had in mind for our wedding. The bridal bouquet was stunning (featuring my favorite, a king protea) and the bridesmaid bouquets were beautifully complimentary! I cried when I saw the floral pillars for the ceremony and they were beautifully repurposed for the reception. Stephanie was able to work with our budget to create every detail we wanted, including touches like flowers in our own vases for cocktail hour, a floral accent on the entry sign, and a beautiful cascade of flowers on our wedding cake. I cannot recommend her enough!!

    The most BEAUTIFUL wedding flowers!

    My husband and I hired Flowers by Stem for our October 2020 wedding... which turned into a June 2021 wedding! Stephanie was very personable, professional, and responsive. When I first met with Stephanie, she really listened to what I liked and her proposal perfectly actualized what I had been envisioning for our wedding day. She has very creative ideas and an amazing eye for color and texture! When we had to postpone our wedding, Stephanie was very understanding and worked with me to transition our original fall color scheme/plan to a beautiful, bright spring color scheme. My bouquet was truly the most beautiful wedding bouquet I have ever seen (though I may be biased)! The centerpieces and greenery she arranged for our reception tables were stunning and perfectly complemented the venue and the season. Our family members were even smitten with their beautiful corsages and boutonnieres! We cannot recommend Stephanie and Flowers by Stem highly enough!

    Awesome experience

    Stephanie was great – I have absolutely zero complaints about her or her service. I heard about her through a friend and when I reached out to her, she got back to me right away. We met in person and she helped me outline my vision. Honestly, I did not know what kind of vision I had, and Stephanie really guided me through the entire process. She was so professional, respectful, and gave the most wonderful suggestions. I felt great after our initial consultation. Shortly thereafter she sent me a quote and it was within the budget I gave her with everything that I had asked for. We even added fresh flowers to the cake about two weeks before the wedding and Stephanie added them with no problem. On the day of the wedding she was prompt and efficient. She answered any and all questions that anyone had for her and even took the time to pin the flowers on every male! She was very easy to work with, no nonsense, and executed our vision effortlessly – I highly recommend!

    Wonderful!

    Provided flower for my wedding. Stephanie matched my bouquet which I made from flowers from my garden. It was wonderful and I would highly recommend Flowers by Stem!

    Incredibly personable and talented!

    Flowers by Stem made our wedding day pure magic. It's hard to describe what exactly we envisioned for our special day and I'm not sure I articulated the precise style and feel we wanted. But Stephanie delivered! She took what I did know I wanted, amplified that vision and brought it to life. She and her amazing staff transformed the space with her flowers. When I saw my bouquet, I cried. She even included a very special flower my grandmother brought from her garden last minute. Planning weddings are ridiculously stressful, but in looking back, Flowers by Stem brought an ease and joy to the process. I can not thank them enough.

    Beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful! Working with Stephanie at Flowers by Stem was a fantastic experience. She is responsive, professional, and delivers an absolutely gorgeous end-product. I'm not a huge flowers person and Stephanie was great at using her expertise based on my vague recommendations to produce a beautiful environment for our wedding. I was exceptionally appreciative of her help and assistance. 5 stars & 100% recommended! Thank you Stephanie!

    Flowers by Stem was amazing to work with. The vision for my wedding was very clear, and they helped achieved it! Very easy to collaborate with from the very beginning up to the big day! Gave great advice on flowers that would pair well each other. Everything was beautifully executed and I couldn't of been more pleased with the flowers and decor for my wedding!

    The perfect florist for your big day!

    Stephanie was amazing to work with. She made the entire order process seamless and easy, and was able to customize all of our arrangements to include the primary flowers we wanted and provided some great recommendations for additions to help fill out the bouquets & centerpieces. All of the flowers looked incredible the day of our event, and our guests took home the centerpieces and they lasted long after our big day!

    If you are looking for a cost-effective, high-quality, professional, and creative florist for your next event, look no further!

    Stephanie with Flowers by Stem is just lovely! We worked with her for our June wedding florals. Right from the beginning, Stephanie was warm and attentive. She listened carefully to my requests to create a beautiful vision of the day. Throughout the process, she was extremely accomodating as I tweaked a few items and made various requests. Creating your vision is her absolute goal and she provides valuable design advice. When the flowers were delivered before the ceremony, I actually cried because they were so beautiful. They were everything I could have dreamed of and more. Her design went above and beyond! I received so many compliments from my bridesmaids and guests about the flower arrangements. This included an amazing hanging fixture at the reception that was the cherry on top! I loved working with Stephanie. She was kind, communicative and totally knowledgable. I would absolutely recommend working with her! You will not be disappointed in your choice.

    Stephanie was so great to work with and really listened to what I was looking for for my wedding flowers. She made suggestions on flowers that were in season, but listened when I said I didn't like certain kinds. The flowers were beautiful and she made suggestions on how to keep costs lower. I would definitely recommend Flowers by Stem!

    I used flowers by stem for my wedding this past May. Stephanie does incredible work. She not only helped me stay within my budget for our wedding flowers, but also helped us source orchids for centerpieces that we assembled ourselves. And provided advice along the way to make sure the flowers stayed as fresh as possible.

    From the beginning, Stephanie was great at helping me form my vision and the flowers turned out absolutely incredible!

    Delivered exactly what bride & groom requested!

    As MOG I recommended Stephanie and her team, and they delivered exactly the design the couple was looking for. Very friendly, knowledgeable, professional, easy to work with - highly recommend them!

    We worked with Stephanie from Flowers by Stem for our wedding and I can honestly say I have never worked with someone so professional, helpful, attentive, and amazing before! From our very first consultation, Stephanie took our vision and made it into a dream. I was a pretty clueless bride on in flower department, and she made sure every aspect was covered and done beautifully. She helped us stay within a budget, while still making our venue and our arrangements look absolutely stunning. She arranged for an assistant to drop the flowers off when I changed timing last minute, and Stephanie stuck around to make sure the transition from ceremony to reception decor went off without a hitch. I received numerous compliments on the floral arrangements, and my bouquet was hands down my favorite part of the whole day. I would recommend Stephanie and the whole team of Flowers by Stem in a heartbeat, and I can't say thank you enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

    Stephanie was amazing to work with - she was so helpful in assisting me with figuring out the direction I wanted to go in for our wedding. I was assured that the flowers were coming from ethical/local places, she was responsive and very flexible (my Mom added things last minute and requested a mock up of the flowers). The delivery was on time and her prices cannot be beat. Honestly, when the flowers arrived while I was getting ready - that was the first time I cried that day. I COULD NOT praise Stephanie enough or recommend Flowers by Stem more. CONGRATULATIONS to you brides and grooms to be (or whatever it is you're celebrating). Look no further, you found the best flower vendor in Chicago (yes, I realize how enthusiastic this sounds. I love flowers more than most, but I also loved feeling cared for and not exploited when planning an important - and expensive day)

    Stephanie is amazing - By far the most responsive and helpful vendor that I worked with. She really tailored her work to my vision for the wedding. I really didn't expect to have any emotional response to the decorations at my wedding, but the flowers really brought life to the venue and made the day truly feel like a once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

    In addition, to be perfectly honest, I changed my mind about a dozen times about small wedding details throughout the process. Stephanie never even gave off a whiff of annoyance, but was always enthusiastic to make modifications to our contract based on my new vision. She truly made the wedding planning process very smooth and (surprisingly) fun!

    Flowers by Stem provided the flowers for my wedding. I had a tight budget for my large bridal party (11 bridesmaids & groomsmen each, plus 5 little ones) and Stephanie was very helpful in providing budget-conscious flowers that still looked beautiful. She listed to what I wanted and was able to recreate it even better than I could have imagined.

    Stephanie and I have been friends for a while but it wasn't until I got engaged that I was able to tap into her floral talents. I came into our first meeting without a lot of direction other than what I didn't want and what my budget was. She came back with a few options that met those needs and we landed on a direction. From the bouquets, to the corsages, to the table centerpieces - everything was done with the utmost attention to detail. The quality of the flowers were top notch and her presentation only added to their beauty.

    Stephanie is an easy going, warm, creative and honest business owner. I came back a few times with revisions and she was accommodating and happy to meet my needs. My only regret is that, in the whirlwind of the wedding day, I didn't get a chance to say thank you to her in person.

    I would recommend Stephane and Flowers by Stem to anyone for any occasion.

    Stephanie was so pleasant to work with from start to finish, she was always easy to talk to and she definitely knows her stuff. She worked with my budget and helped me come up with ideas to give me the best value. Everything turned out beautifully and she was able to bring together everything we had discussed so that it was exactly how I had envisioned it, in fact probably better than I had envisioned it!

    Stephanie was an absolute pleasure to work with! She responded to all million of my emails with slight changes over the months very quickly. Our first meeting was wonderful! She brought books so we could actually see what the flowers she was recommending looked like. She had beautiful ideas and worked with us to create gorgeous arrangements and bouquets.

    Stephanie was wonderful to work with. I loved my bouquets, centerpieces and ceremony décor. She used mint for the bouquets and the smell helped relaxed me. It was a very nice touch. I had a hard time spending money flowers (as real flowers are expensive in general) but in the end they really added to our special day and am so glad we had them. I greatly appreciated her ability to work with a necessary last minute change to our day and helping us out.

    Stephanie from Flowers by Stem did an AMAZING job for my wedding day!
    From the get go, she was very responsive whenever I had a question or idea. She was enthusiastic and fun to brainstorm with.
    I went into planning with a very specific look/feel of my wedding and flowers were the most important part to me.
    I could not have been more pleased with what a great job she did in making my vision come true... I still have people commenting at what gorgeous arrangements I had! She even painted all of my vases herself, when she couldn't find what I was looking for in my budget! The flowers we are so fresh and beautiful and lasted beautifully throughout the entire day... even the hydrangeas, which I know can be tricky. The quality was outstanding.
    I would HIGHLY recommend Flowers by Stem for your special day!
