Hurricane wedding
My wedding took place in Ponte Vedra on November 8th just before hurricane Nicole. I was so stressed out the days following but Sarath calmed my nerves by surprising me with sweet pea and peonies!!! She created the most beautiful arrangement and was great to work with very attentive to detail and accommodating my arrangement was even ready to pick up an hour earlier than originally planned. I highly recommend soulful stems for your big event -

I used Soulful Stems by S&K for my wedding day, and I would choose them again in a heartbeat! I went into it a little uncertain about not getting to pick/see the florals until the day of, but between my inspiration photos and verbally discussing my vision for the day, they NAILED IT. Absolutely beautiful! Not only did everything look amazing, but S&K were great to work with, open to hearing what I wanted, and were adaptable with changes made along the way. I highly recommend using them for your wedding or other events! -

The best experience ever :)
I can not even begin to start to express how much gratitude I have for this team. From the first call, I knew they were the one for my wedding! I felt confident that they understood my vision, even when a few months after booking I totally curveballed and completely changed my theme lol. They were supportive through and through. I have no words for my feeling I had the first time I saw my flower hair piece and my bouquet. Exceeded any expectations I had! These ladies were positive and beautiful rays of light to work with. Thank you so much for making my wedding dream florals a reality.💕 -

An absolute dream
Oh my, where do I even begin?! These two ladies made my absolutely DREAM bouquet. It was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined and I am still so in love with it. Not to mention, they’re the coolest two gals you’ll ever encounter?? I just want to go hang with them and watch them work their magic.
Bottom line is - book them, adore them, and the be happiest little soul you’ll ever be because of your floral dreams come true!! -

Our Dream Wedding Florals!
We cannot thank Kari and Sarath enough for the florals they designed for our wedding.
I met up with Kari a long time ago as our wedding was initially supposed to be last year but was postponed to this year due to Covid. She was so kind, helpful and knows so much about florals and what looks good together.
We wanted a minimal, tropical, 70s inspired look and Soulful Stems created the most beautiful bouquets and the most stunning arrangement for the altar. Our wedding was unexpectedly moved inside the day of due to heavy rain and not only did they brave the rain but created our dream florals. I also really loved that they donate what you do not keep to others and take a eco friendly approach to the arrangements.
Thank you Soulful Stems, we cannot recommend you enough!!
Update: Had to edit to highly recommend doing flower cones as your exit- it was such a beautiful way to leave!! -

As excited about my wedding As I was !
S&K took so much time to figure out our vibe and really went out of the way to make everything perfect ((even when I brought the wrong size hurricane glasses 🤦♀️)) she reworked and I trusted her artistic vision and was so happy with the results. A true professional and makes you feel like a friend! She was so excited about our wedding and I KNOW there is so much passion for what she does behind every placed flower 🖤🖤🖤 -

I was introduced to Kari by my wedding planner and after a 2 hour zoom I knew she was the perfect person to help our dreams come true! She knew exactly what I was looking for, even when I couldn’t articulate it! She made my dreams and visions come to life! She offered so many perfect suggestions to help build the perfect floral decor to our wedding design. My bouquet was by far the best part of my wedding design! I loved every single detail! She made it perfect for me and included personal details that made it that more special! We opted for groomsmen pocket flowers with feathers from their latest turkey hunt, and she it turned out better than I ever could have imagined. Her and her partner have such a eye for such detailed beauty! She listens to every important detail and makes it all come to life! I highly, highly recommend them for your big day! -

Amazing florals and vendor
Kari did such an amazing job on florals for our wedding! We didn’t know exactly what we wanted, but when we met with her for our consultation, she knew exactly what to do. She made both bridal bouquets compliment each other so well. Everything looked gorgeous and we got compliments all night on the amazing work and beautiful arrangements. With COVID, we had to make a lot of changes, some last minute, and Kari was able and willing to accommodate all of them. We would 100% recommend her work to anyone! -

Stephanie Sent on 12/07/2020The absolute best!!
It’s hard to put into words a review for Kari and her team. I am a huge flower lover and had the highest expectations. Soulful Stems exceeded everything I could’ve asked for. Kari has an eye for creativity and accomplishing more than a bouquet, she creates a beautiful story in an arrangement. She worked with me before the wedding to create two mock bouquets so I can see them in person with my dress. She then took notes on what I did and didn’t like. On our wedding day I cried hysterically when she walked in with all my florals and I still can’t help but zoom in on our flowers in every single picture. They knocked it out of the park. This team is a GODSEND and I will continue to 10/10 recommend them to every bride, coordinator, event planner or person I know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my wildest floral dreams come true. You are the best and I am so thankful for y’all. -

The Floral Queen 👏🏽
Two words. HIRE HER! Apart from being such a sweet person, her work is absolutely stunning! I found Kari on Instagram and fell in love with her work and aesthetic. She proved to make our floral dreams come true!! We shared our mood board with her and gave her creative direction with our florals so she can run with it. I’ve never seen such beautiful florals in my life. She was also super flexible with all the bridal party floral changes we had with the pandemic craziness of this year. I can’t imagine Kari not being our floral vendor - she perfected our wedding vision and I will forever be swooning over our florals. I’d also recommend you let her take your dried up florals and convert them to soaps you can cherish them at home. Now, go sign that contract! -

Krissi Sent on 07/05/2020Kari is the BEST!!
From the moment of meeting Kari, she felt like a friend. She’s cool, down to earth, spunky, professional and passionate. Within 5 minutes of telling her our vision, she had some sketches done and we were 100% confident she heard us, shared our vision, and understood exactly what we wanted. She delivered every bit of it. Her and her team literally showed OUT for us. I decided the day of our wedding day that I changed my mind and actually wanted a bouquet. She made it happen and it was GORGEOUS. Not a single detail when unnoticed with her. Kari also gives back to our community by repurposing the flowers, turning them into all natural soaps, and also delivering them to local nursing homes. As if she needed a reason to be more awesome!! Floral Designs by Kari is the only choice. Thank you so so so much!! -

Sana Sent on 03/10/2020An awesome experience!!
When it came to the floral decor for our wedding, I did not even know where to start. I checked for vendors on WeddingWire and sent out some messages. After my consultation call with Kari, I knew I wanted her to do the flowers for our wedding. I had a few vendors shortlisted but I knew she would be the best choice. Looking back, I am so glad I picked her!
The morning of our wedding was chaotic. When I entered the hall after getting ready, nothing seemed to be in place. Kari assured me and my husband that by the time we were back after getting married, everything would be perfect. And it really was. I was pleasantly surprised at how she handled everything for us. She went above and beyond what she had signed up for and helped us through the chaos that morning. She was a godsend for us that day. I can say without a doubt that she saved our wedding day. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, fun, friendly, easy to approach florist who does it all while keeping it wild! There is a reason she has been winning the Wedding Wire Couples' Choice Award for four years in a row! -

I wanted to propose to my girlfriend on the beach as the moon was rising while standing next to an archway adorned with flowers and Kari really delivered! Her arrangement was exactly what I was looking for. Everything was there and in place for when we arrived making the whole night magical. Highly recommend hiring her for any of your floral needs! -

Best experience
Kari was literally the best throughout the whole experience. When we first met at the consultation I knew I was in the right hands. After changing my colors a million times as well as my overall vision, she delivered and exceeded my expectations. Not only was she super responsive but very detail oriented. I will recommend her over and over again to any bride. Thank you for making one of the most special days of my life an even better one! -

Kari is absolutely AMAZING!! I had no idea what I wanted and gave her the freedom to create the most perfect arrangements and she outdid any expectations I had. From my centerpieces to the floating arrangement during my centerpiece, it was all perfect. She’s one of the sweetest people

Maria Sent on 12/22/2019A superb experience
As soon as I came across Kari’s artwork I knew my search was over. What I didn’t know was her amazing creativity to come up with beautiful floral arrangements, she went over beyond all expectations with innovative pieces that were to die for!
Working with Kari was an experience, more than providing florals, she hopped in with ideas to make everything even more special. She provided me a GORGEOUS bouquet with painted leaves, ribbons, perfect flowers and even feather, besides that she created a beautiful inverted V arch, decorated with florals. She has so much attention to details and work as a team like no other, she even brought flowers for the hairstylist to use! Love her work and her professionalism, hands down my go to florist of all times. -

Let me start off by saying if I could give Kari more than 5 stars I would. Working with Kari was a great experience. She’s goes over everything in great detail & is very flexible with changes. She was available for me to call her whenever I needed to & always had great suggestions. The flowers were what I was most excited about with my wedding decorations. Kari made my wedding even better than I could have ever imagined! It was so beautiful, everything from the arch to the centerpieces & my bouquet was out of this world! If I ever need any floral designs in the future I know who I’m calling. Thank you Kari for everything! -

Mia Sent on 11/20/2019Excellent Customer Service!
Kari is amazing! Being new to the wedding planning business, and living outside of the Jacksonville area, I reached out to multiple vendors and had several floral consultations. After the first 5 minutes of my initial discussion with Kari, I knew for sure that she was my vendor of choice! She was extremely patient and helpful in educating me on the various floral styles and options, worked within my client’s budget, and even provided recommendations for other vendors as well as ideas for other design elements for the venue! She was also very responsive through the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, Kari hand delivered the flowers herself and was just as pleasant in person as she was throughout the planning process. Not to mention, the flowers were gorgeous! If you’re looking for professionalism and high quality florals at a reasonable price, Kari is your girl!!! -
![Kristie]()
Kristie Sent on 10/30/2019Wow! Beautiful! Stunning! Sweet!
I can't say enough good things about Kari and her creations. I was working on a limited budget and she exceeded my expectations. She respected my wishes to avoid certain flwoers, but had creative freedom otherwise. The coolest touches on each bouquet, but made mine extra special with a purple agate and pearls. And the guys absolutely loved their boutonnieres.
And after all the stunning work, she gives you the chance to donate your flowers back so that she can make arrangements for a local assisted living or memory care facility. We opted to donate our centerpieces and the pictures Kari shared brought us to tears.
Seriously, you can't go wrong with Kari! She will knock it out of the park every time!
Sincerely,
Kristie Doak -

Erika Sent on 10/29/2019Amazing, creative and so easy to work with!
Kari was the perfect florist for our wedding. She went above and beyond and was so flexible with my last minute edits and changes. She communicated through out the process and was always easy to reach and quick to reply. So creative and gave us an interesting spin on everything I asked for. I gave very loose guidelines and let her work her magic and I highly recommend letting her run wild! I felt like my flowers were so unique but fit my vision and fit us as a couple and our venue perfectly! They were definitely not cookie cutter or average in anyway! After our wedding she came back and broke all our flowers down to donate them to a nursing home. She also cut down and sanded a board that she made for an arrangement, I’ve posted below a picture of it. She cut down the board and made sure the R was attached well! Amazing experience and I wish I could get married again just to work with Kari again!! -

Choosing Kari to be the florist for our wedding was a no brainer. After meeting with Kari, it was easy to see she her commitment to enhancing every aspect and especially the memories associated with our special day. We quickly decided to give complete creative control... and it was the best decision we ever could have make! Kari nailed the bouquets and boutonnières and transformed the reception venue!

We can’t thank Kari enough for her addition to our magical day! We could not be more passionate or enthusiastic about our recommendations to chose Kari for any event! We will be using here for all of our floral needs in the future. Thanks again for helping to make our day so amazing!!! -

Above and beyond
Planning a wedding is already an incredibly stressful time but my husband and I only had about two months to plan ours. I was stressed to the max and everything seemed to be a head ache. Honestly the only thing I didn’t worry about was my florist Kari. She is such a professional! In planning she was so communicative and stayed on top of everything. She went absolutely above and beyond the call of duty. Additionally I gave her very scattered structure and guidance as to what I was looking for and she NAILED IT. I seriously teared up a little when I walked into the reception and saw everything. We had a (mildly) Star Wars themed wedding and she even wired in little lightsabers into the garland around our sweetheart table! Her attention to detail and artistic intuition is out of this world! As for value all of my girlfriends thought I paid a fortune for my florist! Our budget was tight and Kerri worked with us. After the wedding she picked up the flowers, brought them back to life and delivered/donated them on our behalf to an assisted living community. 11/10 would recommend! -

The best vendor I’ve ever worked with!
Kari is such a sweet woman, and her craftsmanship is even sweeter! Incredibly flexible and professional, I’d recommend her to anyone. My switching the date twice and changing the number of arrangements I needed surely didn’t make things easy, but that’s how it felt with Kari. Easy! She made me the perfect bouquet(s) for my wedding day and I couldn’t be more thankful! -

Bride- I clicked with Kari over the phone planning the wedding. We don’t live locally and right when I started explaining my vision she knew exactly what I wanted. She made my wedding day such a beautiful day! Her work exceeded my expectations and if we lived closer I would hire her for all my floral needs.
Groom- I never thought the after wedding floral arrangements would come in so handy. I decked out our honeymoon suite with all of the flowers. Needless to say the housekeeper met us in the hallway outside the suite and said we made the suite look amazing. -

Gabriellea Sent on 06/09/2018There aren't words to express how truly wonderful Kari is. Kari made all of the floral arrangements for my wedding and I couldn't be happier wth the result. Her creative ideas and vision shows in everything she takes on. You can see by the pictures just how stunning, to say the least. Her arrangements are some of the most unique I've ever seen. The different colors and different use of flowers/greenery are just amazing! And the little extra "bling" or other fun aspect that she is able to pull into a bouquet is amazing. I loved how I was able to tell her my ideas and she was able to bring them to life. It was truly a pleasure to work with you. I look forward to referring you to more clients in the future- I know they will be as blown away with your work as I am!! Thanks again!

Gabriela Sent on 06/08/2018My wedding would not have been even close to what I imagined if I hadn’t had the help of the amazing and talented Wedding Designs by Kari. Not only was Kari able to take my crazy wedding-brain visions and bring them to life, but she was able to stay in (and even UNDER) budget for the whole thing. She was so specific in her preparations, that when the big day finally came, all the flowers that I had asked for, and then some, were exactly where they needed to be. My pictures, our archway, and the cake all looked extra beautiful because Kari really took time to get to know my vision for the wedding. We are so grateful to her and will absolutely recommend her to anyone asking!

Shelby Sent on 06/08/2018I don’t even know how I can explain how amazing Kari was! I was a nervous wreck. Changed my mind a million times and she was ever so patient with me. She took her time trying to match the color scheme according to my needs and listened to my concerns. She is by far the best and oh so sweet! If I could do it all over again I would most certainly pick her! She did my bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets, groom and groomsmen boutinnierres, hair clip for the flower girl, and corsages for mother of bride and groom and grandmother of bride and groom. She also did a beautiful vine of flowers for the mantel in the ballroom for our reception. I now have it on my cabinet in my dining room.

Pat Sent on 11/09/2017Kari's flowers were so beautiful. Kari was easy to work with and so accommodating to work within our budget and ensuring our money was spent wisely. We asked for the arch at our ceremony site be the focus and she pulled it off without a hitch. It was very time consuming but everyone commented on how beautiful it was. Kari gave us great ideas and pointers on how to save money but made sure we wouldn't be disappointed by not spending enough. Thanks Kari for making our wedding day flowers beautiful. Pat & Donia

Kari did 9 bouquets and 10 Bouts for my daughters wedding, as well as decorated 17 tables and 12 hi tops using some of our candles and her inventory of gold votive cups. She was a tad late in delivering the bouquets, (well before ceremony though) but they were well worth the delay. -
