Reliably beautiful flowers with excellent customer service every time!
Stephanie designed all the flowers for my wedding back in 2015. This year, for our 10 year anniversary, we decided to return to where we got married for a vow renewal. She made a replica bouquet for me, boutonnières for my husband and boys, flower crowns for me and my daughter and swag for the cross for our ceremony. Everything was so beautiful and I am so happy with how everything turned out! She is so kind and easy to work with! 10 years later but the same amazing service and products! -

Expectations Exceeded!
Stephanie's Secret Garden provided all the flowers at my son's recent wedding. She exceeded our expectations with beautifully-arranged autumn-inspired floral arrangements: the bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, the ceremony and cocktail hour arrangements, and the gorgeous centerpieces on all the tables. When I share photos of the wedding, the one comment I consistently receive is how beautiful and colorful were the flowers. Highly recommend!! -

Gorgeous Wedding Flowers!!!
Stephanie was wonderful to work with. She was able to translate our ideas into beautiful flower arrangements. She gave us ideas that would save us money and keep us in budget. I loved getting the sample bouquets and table arrangements. When we walked into the space it literally took our breath away. She gave us everything that we asked for and more. We couldn’t have been happier with the flowers and with Stephanie’s Secret Garden.-

My dream wedding
The easiest part of my wedding was working with Stephanie at Stephanie's Secret Garden. My bouquet was absolutely gorgeous and the flowers she did for our rustic barn venue were simply georgous. Stephanie was very responsive and accomodating. She listened to what I was envisioning and with her knowledge and expertise turned my wedding bouquet and venue into the stuff dreams are made of.-

Amazing!!!
I cannot express enough how incredible our experience with Stephanie's Secret Garden was for our wedding! From the very first consultation, they were attentive, creative, and truly invested in bringing our vision to life. The floral arrangements were nothing short of breathtaking, perfectly capturing the essence of our special day.
Every bouquet, centerpiece, and floral accent was meticulously crafted and radiated beauty. Guests were raving about the stunning displays, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. Stephanie Egly went above and beyond, even accommodating last-minute changes with grace and professionalism.
If you’re looking for a florist who combines artistry with exceptional service, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie's Secret Garden to anyone planning a wedding!-

Absolutely amazing!
Stephanie just did flowers and decor for our wedding and it was absolutely perfect! It was so beautiful and beyond all of my expectations. I enjoyed working with Stephanie from the moment I met her. She was so detailed and had great questions for things I hadn’t even thought of. She even went to the venue to visit the space to understand the layout for the ceremony arch and other decor. I really appreciated that she gave me mock-ups of the flower bouquets and asked for feedback prior to our wedding. She even sent me a photo of my bouquet the day before. I gave her inspo pictures of the colors and theme and I was going for… and her floral arrangements were even better ! I’m so happy and highly recommend Stephanie for your wedding :) -

Just magical
Stephanie and her team did the flowers for my daughter's wedding in October. They were great to work with, especially with a challenging red and purple color scheme. We received many, many compliments from our guests. The most common adjective we heard: magical. -

Stephanie is fantastic!
We used Stephanie for our wedding flowers in Spring 2023. The whole process, Stephanie was very proactive. We met several times at her flower shop to discuss our vision and different flower options. She did a mock centerpiece arrangement and mock bridal bouquet in the months leading up to the wedding so we could see everything ahead of time. We were very pleased with all the bouquets, the boutonnieres, centerpieces, and flower swag used on our ceremony arbor. She helped make our garden party wedding vision come to life! -

Gorgeous flowers & wonderful experience!
Stephanie did the flowers for our wedding and they were incredible!! She and her team are so talented and all of the flowers and greenery at our wedding were insanely gorgeous. She is so fun to work with and is able to make your vision come to life so perfectly. One cool thing she does is about 2 months before your wedding, she does a trial and she puts together a bouquet and centerpiece to make sure its what you want or if there's anything you'd like to change. She is so creative and she makes sure everything is set up perfectly the day of the wedding. She's very hands on and does not just drop off flowers - she made sure each table was set up perfectly with the centerpiece, greenery, and the votives. The flowers were definitely one of the highlights of our wedding day and we got so many compliments on how gorgeous they were. We highly recommend Stephanie for your wedding or any event! -

Stephanie Is Magic!
Stephanie of Stephanie's Secret Garden is absolutely an artist. She will bring your floral vision to life in the most magical way. She's really lovely to work with and even created sample bouquets for us before our wedding. The flowers and greenery on our wedding day were perfect. Stephanie and her team worked so hard and made sure everything was set up just right. If you're looking for a florist who you can trust to do an incredible job - look no further! -

Amazing florals that brought our venue so much life!
We had a very bare-bones venue that had only been used a couple of times, so we knew the bulk of our decor would be florals and greenery. Stephanie was PERFECT for it. After a couple of phone calls, emails, and her actual visit to the venue, she knew exactly how to make our vision come to life. She dressed the columns, staircase banisters, tables, and wedding cake beautifully and simply. She even used the bag of tulle from my wedding dress alterations to cinch our cocktail table linens for the hourglass shape I wanted! I could not recommend her more, she was fabulous.-

Amazing florals transformed our venue
Stephanie and her team did an incredible job taking a plain old barn and turning it into a festive, beautiful setting for our daughter's wedding reception. Every table looked wonderful with the muted tones of whites & pinks we requested, and the touches of garlands, greens, and pops of color throughout really made the event pop. Even the venue owner couldn't believe the difference. Stephanie walked us through from start to finish and was always available to collaborate to make sure we got exactly what we were wanting, and her suggestions and expertise helped us focus on what would work best at our venue. Thanks Stephanie!!! -

A True Artist
Stephanie is hands down the best at what she does. I came to her with a very limited budget and she took my vision and made it a reality. She is direct and clear with her feedback and tells you upfront if your vision makes sense with the season and types of blooms that are available. She also has urns and vases that you can use which is incredible. We chose to do greenery and pumpkins for our centerpieces and they came together so beautifully. I really cannot say enough about Stephanie, her eye for floral arrangements is truly amazing!!-

Stephanie's Secret Garden Made Our Wedding Come Alive
I'm so grateful to Stephanie's Secret Garden for making our wedding day absolutely beautiful!! They don't just show up with flowers, they are artists and pay attention to the little details that make the day special. From the moment I first talked to Stephanie I knew she'd do an amazing job and I couldn't be happier. She made recommendations on what was in season and which flowers would maintain their beauty, she shared ideas to stay on budget, and the team adjusted to timing changes to ensure everything was perfect when our guests arrived. I highly recommend Stephanie's Secret Garden to anyone planning a wedding!!-

Stephanie made our day BEAUTIFUL!
Working with Stephanie was WONDERFUL!! She was incredibly helpful when it came to choosing what we wanted for our wedding. I do not know a lot about flowers, but just by telling her our venue and style she was able to come up with a PERFECT mix of flowers for our big day. She talked through every detail with us and offered advice for saving money while still maintaining the look we wanted! And everything was beautiful the day of too! Our ceremony arch and my bouquet looked like something out of a bridal magazine! She is a true artist!!! Thank you Stephanie!!! -

Highly Recommend
Stephanie was great to work with! I showed her pictures of what I wanted and she delivered. They brought all the flowers to me and set up the ballroom. She was very responsive and kind. I also loved the contract, it was very clear and had everything we discussed. I accidentally broke one of her vases and she told me not to worry about it. She grows her own flowers and showed me a sample of what my flowers would look like the day of. I highly recommend Stephanie's Secret Garden!! -

There's no better florist around.
I honestly don't know if there's enough space here to fully explain just how wonderful Stephanie is, and how perfect our experience with her was. My husband and I were married on May 15th, 2021. Our original date was may 16th of the previous year - but as with many of my fellow 2020, we had made the decision to postpone in light of the pandemic. This means that Stephanie worked with us, patiently and graciously, for almost two years. She was more than understanding of the situation, and adjusted our contract without hesitation. I mention this because I have heard horror stories about brides whose vendors refused to accommodate the new date, and even charged to change the contract. Stephanie did neither of these things - and I don't think it even crossed her mind. The relief and reassurance that brought, amidst all that turmoil, was indescribable.
Now, as far as the process of making a vision become a reality goes - Stephanie was spot on. She dealt with my (oftentimes) vague and abstract requests without even blinking an eye. I remember describing my desired color scheme for the as a "Colorado sunset," and she truly brought it to life. She requested a few photos to help visualize my idea, and was off! I'm not the most creative person but Stephanie absolutely is; she new exactly how to perfect and elevate each of my ideas. Stephanie also took each new request in stride, and there were many (I guess that's what happens when you have two years to plan!). She was never bothered or frustrated, just happy to help ensure my vision came to life.
I'd also like to mention that Stephanie and I were nearly two thousand miles apart throughout this entire process. Because of this, we relied heavily on email to communicate. She was incredibly communicative; always responding to my emails within a day, sending me photos of various flowers, potential arrangements, various fabrics to wrap the bouquets in, vases to use, the list goes on. Her level of communication was incredibly reassuring, given that I was so far away. I knew that I was in good hands, and trusted her completely.
I truly can't recommend Stephanie enough. She was incredible. I'll never forget walking into my venue on the wedding and seeing how beautifully she had transformed the space. The beauty of her work took my breath away. Stephanie - I can't thank you enough. You are the only florist I will ever recommend to my Maryland friends. You are that good.-

Fantastic florist!
Stephanie was wonderful to work with from start to finish! I was not entirely sure what I was looking for when she and I first sat down, but she spent a lot of time with me to learn about my style. We decided to go in one direction, but after she and I met again where she had created samples (a WONDERFUL perk of working with her!), I had a few different ideas that she completely went along with. Our flowers day of were absolutely gorgeous and had been set up perfectly by the time I arrived at the wedding venue. Lastly, Stephanie was willing to work within my budget! She is incredibly talented, creative, and a great listener. I could not recommend her more! -

Beautiful bouquet for courthouse wedding
Stephanie created a bouquet for my courthouse wedding earlier this year... She listened to all of my preferences to design a breathtaking bouquet which I adored. I loved the colorful and ethereal look it had. This was especially impressive as she was dealing shipping delays/limited inventory during a snowstorm. Despite the pressure that the storm added, she designed a beautiful bouquet for me, right on schedule. She was incredibly personable and I would highly encourage anyone to book their wedding flowers with her! -

Beautiful flowers from Stephanie!
We had the best time working with Stephanie for our flowers. She has beautiful taste and really listened to me on what I wanted and the overall look and feel I was going for. And she delivered. The flowers were everything I could have asked for and more. She got the vibe and the look I wanted perfectly. And the flowers smelled so nice! Stephanie has a really unique, artistic eye and has wonderful taste. She is also a pleasure to work with! -

Stephanie could not have been better or easier to work with. She was an incredible guide for my husband, mother-in-law and mother as we met with her to discuss our vision and ideas for our wedding's flowers. She not only worked with our ideas but enhanced them with her own creative insight and professional experience. I had really wanted to incorporate protea in my bouquet and she found them and also worked them in to the piece at our head table for the reception. Stephanie truly wanted to ensure we had the flowers we wanted and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right. We had flowers for our rehearsal dinner, mass, and reception so she had a lot of details to keep track of. Stephanie absolutely nailed it. 100% work with her-- you will not regret it!! -

Flowers were not something I put a lot of thought into for my wedding initially. I was kind of like "well I guess I need flowers..." But then, I met Stephanie and she helped me realize exactly what I did want and it was a dream! She listened to what I liked and didn't like and came up with the most stunning bridal bouquet and bridesmaids flower crowns and barrettes! Her incorporation of herbs, eucalyptus, and baby's breath through every aspect of our ceremony and reception was perfect. I love her eclectic style and open-mindedness when it comes to planning a wedding. -

Stephanie did all of the flowers for our daughter's wedding this past weekend. She took our daughter's vision, elevated it and made the most magical, natural floral works of art. Stephanie added touches we had not even thought of, but were so inline with our vision. There were flower crowns, other floral hairpieces, boutonnières, wrist corsages, table pieces (lavender plants and succulents to create a woodland feel), barn decor, arch flowers, and the bouquet...just perfect! I would highly recommend Stephanie's Secret Garden for your event needs, especially if you are looking for unique pieces of floral art! I have attached some candids from a friend. I will add professional shots when we get them to really do the flowers justice! -

Stephanie was wonderful to work with! We were planning a Silver Spring, MD wedding from a distance, with the bride in NC and the mother-of-the-bride in TX. She was flexible in meeting with us and we were able to ship supplies like candles & vases directly to her - being able to provide these ourselves was a cost savings. She worked with our requested color scheme and suggested flowers that would be available at our time of year and steared us away from others that were either not durable enough or not available in March. The church looked lovely and so did the reception and bouquets. Somehow our cake topper went missing but Stephanie saved the day, responding to our last-minute text with the suggestion of dressing the cake with flowers. And the reception flowers lasted for more than a week afterwards when we gave bouquets to friends to take home. High quality flowers & beautiful work - thanks Stephanie!-

Stephanie was amazing to work with. She listened to what our vision was and gave me and my daughter ideas we never thought of and she was spot on with everything. Very detailed and unique designs. Sample bouquets and centerpieces so you know what you are getting. The wedding turned out beautiful and we had many compliments on the flowers. Just gorgeous. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone looking to work with a professional and I would not hesitate to work with her again! -

There are not enough good things to say about Stephanie and her team!! She is incredibly knowledgeable and so creative. She offered great ideas and even made us trial bouquets. Her team did a wonderful job with the set up, I didn't have to worry about a single thing. The flowers were absolutely one of my favorite parts of our day. We received so many compliments and will enjoy seeing them in pictures for many years to come. -

Stephanie did an amazing job taking the Pinterest pictures I showed her and making bouquets that were even more gorgeous than I imagined! The boutineers and corsages were perfect, as well, and she definitely takes the time to make sure she gets it right. She made me a sample bouquet about 2 months before the wedding so I could get a real sense of how it'd look. Loved everything!! -

I was able to show her a picture and she knew the exact flowers and the perfect way to arrange them. Anything I asked for, she was able to execute perfectly. I would highly recommend her and her services. She executed the wedding of my dreams. -

Stephanie was fantastic. Not only is she an incredible artist, but she was very flexible and open to my out of the box ideas. She was able to design beautiful pieces that fit in wedding vision while being respectful of our budget, and her knowledge of flowers is amazing. She even incorporated non-flower items such as willow branches, mercury glass, and peacock feathers to go along with our wedding "theme." Our wedding flowers and centerpieces turned out even more beautiful than I ever expected.
Working with Stephanie was a pleasure and I would recommend her to other brides looking for a fun and stress-free florist experience! -

Stephanie did the flowers for my July wedding! They were exactly what I envisioned, and more. Stephanie has a creative style, and she keeps our flower arrangements interesting - they were not average, boring, or stuffy! I wanted an organic feel for our summer wedding - sunflowers, lavender, eucalyptus leaves, peonies, and more -- Stephanie somehow made all these pieces complementary, edited, and stylish in her arrangements. It ended up being very "us." Stephanie also worked with us to stay in our budget, which I appreciated. She was a bit of a drive from downtown DC, but well worth it. -

I used Stephanie's Secret Garden to do my wedding flowers for my Summer 2016 wedding and she was fantastic! All of my flowers looked amazing! I didn't have a vision going into picking flowers and only knew the colors and a few types of flowers that I wanted and she made samples for me in advance so I could decide what I wanted and liked and everything looked beautiful the day of! -

Stephanie was amazing throughout the entire process! I do not know much about flowers, but Stephanie was very knowledgeable the whole time. She answered all my questions and was able to give very helpful suggestions. She was creative and understood my vision for my wedding. She was always available with phone calls and e-mails. All in all the process was very easy and fun! The flowers and centerpieces looked so beautiful and I could not be happier with the service I received from Stephanie. I would definitely recommend her for any event! -

I could not have asked for a better florist than Stephanie! She was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process to phone calls, emails, and even text messages. After meeting with her and seeing samples she made up just for me after sending her pictures of my vision, I knew I would be in good hands! She worked with me to come up with options to fit my very modest budget and still made everything look FANTASTIC! I got many compliments on my floral arrangements from the wedding! I would definitely recommend Stephanie's Secret Garden to anyone looking for a florist in that area! -

Stephanie is an ARTIST, not just a simple florist. I spoke with a couple of florists before choosing to work with her for my wedding and she blew me away with her creativity. I am so happy she was available on my wedding day. Stephanie really listened to what I wanted but also had lots of suggestions -- which I absolutely loved and needed, since I did not know much about flowers. She worked very hard at maintaining my budget, offered different options to include all price ranges, and provided me with choices.
The flowers came out stunning - breathtaking, romantic, and elegant. Everything turned out above and beyond what I expected. Stephanie also took charge of arranging and decorating the tables with the provided materials - which was so helpful - and made sure that everything looked impeccable as far as centerpieces went.
Stephanie runs a tight ship and everything was delivered as promised, on time, details were not omitted, and she went the extra mile for me. Her studio is a garden wonderland and as with every artist's studio there is a degree of organized chaos involved.. : ) Don't let this fool you because you will get everything done just right with lots of extra attention to detail. I would absolutely work with her again and recommend her to others. -

Stephanie was beyond wonderful to work with in so many ways. Within minutes of meeting her, it is evident that she absolutely loves flowers and loves what she does, which shows in the arrangements that she creates. The flowers at my wedding ceremony and reception were everything I could have dreamed of and more, and I have gotten so many wonderful comments on them from guests. They were beautiful- elegant, romantic, modern, chic, and overall just amazing.
Stephanie was phenomenal. She put a lot of effort into helping us keep costs down while not cutting corners with quality or quantity, and went above and beyond in the time that she spent with us, the samples that she created, and especially in the extra effort and time that she put in on our wedding day to make sure that everything looked beautiful- she definitely did more than expected and really cared about our ceremony and reception looking amazing. Our coordinators from the church made a point to comment on how great she was to work with.
I feel so lucky to have gotten to work with Stephanie. She has such a passion for what she does, and it shows in her work, and also in how great she is to work with. She is warm, patient, honest, funny and an all around great person.
I would never consider going to anyone else for floral arrangements if I ever need them for any other important events. She knocked it out of the park in so many ways and we are so grateful to have worked with her. -

Working with Stephanie was a wonderful experience again. I had worked with Stephanie for a daughter's wedding. She was quick to response to my inquiry, setting up a time to come to her studio and discuss and talk about what we were looking for. She spent a good amount of time with me, looking at pictures I had brought, showing me options and adding her creative touch that I couldn't even imagine. For example, I loved that she put a fragrant herb, rosemary, in the boutonnieres! And not only did she create the perfect bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids, she made up samples of them before the wedding, just in time for the bridal shower. The bride LOVED having a sample of her flowers to show her family and friends. Stephanie also helped us a solve decorating dilemma for a ring ceremony by offering urns with clouds of baby's breath. It was perfect. Not only did she deliver the flowers in a timely fashion, she delivered them to the LDS temple AND the reception venue in Washington. I was confident I wouldn't need to worry about the flowers the day of the wedding and Stephanie was true to my expectation! Oh, AND, she was able to do everything we wanted within budget! PLUS!!! -

If you are looking for beautiful and unique flowers, than Stephanie is your lady.
Stephanie, is not just a florist, she is a designer and artist. Her flower arrangements will make your wedding pop. She was right on the money with what I wanted. I was so pleased with her work; as well as her professionalism. I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for beautiful flowers with an artistic edge. -

Stephanie is great! she worked with us to make exactly what we wanted.
We met about 3 times before the wedding. She listened to the ideas that I had and showed me all different flower options to go with it. We would email back and forth with flowers she thought would work well. I wanted something vintage and romantic and she gave me exactly that.
She was always accommodating. She was understanding when I changed my "vision" a few months before the wedding.
She also worked with my budget. She always kept me in the loop with all of the flower prices. She delivered all of my flowers day of.
She planned one of our meetings to work around my bridal shower. She let me keep the trial bouquets to display at my shower. It was so nice!
We will be working with her for all of our future floral needs. -

Because of Stephanie, our wedding decor was romantic, rustic, and more beautiful that I ever could have imagined! She worked with us from the beginning to figure out our concept and then made everything happen. We were so thrilled with the results. She was incredibly flexible and worked with our budget - very impressive in this industry! Everything was beautiful and I had no doubt that it would be. Definitely work with Stephanie's Secret Garden for your event. -

Stephanie did the bouquets and I purchased loose flowers from her for my wedding back in May. She was amazing to work with. We must have exchanged HUNDREDS, if not more, emails and I met with her twice for almost 3hrs each time. She is so passionate about flowers and couldnt have been more helpful and patient with me. I couldnt have been happier with my bouquets and flowers. My bouquets were GORGEOUS and the loose flowers were the best quality. If you are looking for a personalize florist for your wedding then Stephenie is the BEST! Her prices are VERY competitive as well and a free consultation! -

I loved working with Stephanie. Our wedding was rustic, at a barn, with close friends and family. I wanted our flowers to work with that feeling, not compete or try to overwhelm. Stephanie worked with my ideas and came up with beautiful plans. Our bouquets were gorgeous! She also ordered grasses and flowers for me so I could DIY my centerpieces. I highly recommend Stephanie's Secret Garden! -

Stephanie was awesome! She's very talented and was very accommodating to my budget and schedule. I ordered bouquets, boutonnieres, and loose flowers for centerpiece vases. I was able to pick up my flowers from Stephanie the day before the wedding and drop them off at the venue (Comus Inn) during the ceremony rehearsal. I was a little nervous that they would wilt by the next day, but they looked great! I loved my bouquets! -

Stephanie made us feel like family members. She was very warm and welcomin. She was patient and kind and didn't laugh at any of our dumb, novice questions. She even came up with inovative ways to help us save money on our tight budget. She was very flexible - she worked with our schedule and even offered to be up very early (outside of her usual business hours) to meet with us. She is easy going and has a great knowledge of what looks and smells just right for every event. We would HIGHLY recommend Stephanie to any of our friends and family. -

I gave Stephanie a lot of freedom in designing the flower arrangements for my wedding and she did a wonderful job. She went above and beyond with all her personal touches. It was everything I wanted and all my guests made comments about how beautiful my flowers were. What I loved most about Stephanie was that she was not a huge business where I would get lost in the crowd. Everything was very personal and I never felt pressured or rushed. Stephanie is a very down to earth but professional florist and I would highly recommend her for weddings or any event! -

We live in Florida and our daughter lives in Poolesville, MD. My wife likes to send flowers to our daughter several times throughout the year on special occasions and we always selected Stephanie's Secret Garden to provide the flowers. Every order has been perfect in every way. So, when our daughter told us she was getting married, we knew who to contact to make the flower arrangements. All Stephanie needed from us was: the color of the gown and dresses, the choice of flowers and the delivery location. She then worked her magic. Stephanie sent us photos of various flowers and vases to choose from on line. It could not have been more convenient. The end result was a work of art. -

Stephanie did my brother's fall wedding a few years ago and the flowers were unique and beautiful. When planning for our son's wedding I urged his fiancee to go with Stephanie's Secret Garden. With one thing and another we didn't get to it in a timely fashion, arranging for an appointment the week before the wedding which also happened to be the day before Mother's Day. Stephanie not only fit us in, she did it most graciously and the flowers were perfect. -

Stephanie was thorough from start to finish. She carefully walked me through a variety of options, which really helped me create the simple elegant wedding that I really wanted. She was also sensitive to my price concerns and let me know when I could substitute a similar flower for a lower price. Throughout the process, Stephanie kept in close communication and never made me feel like I was bothering her. In the end, the flowers and decorations were absolutely perfect. The owner of my ceremony/reception venue said it was the nicest that the place had ever looked. By the way, I think one of the best parts of her service is that she sat down with me several weeks before the wedding and created sample bouquets (for the bride and bridesmaids) as well as a sample centerpiece at no extra cost. After taking them home with me and looking at them for a few days, I was able to suggest a few small changes and feel at ease that my venue would look beautiful on my wedding day. -

The flowers that Stephanie put together were so stunning. Stephanie spent countless hours with me figuring out what I liked and wanted. I changed my mind so many times, and she never got frustrated with me, but just kept digging to see what it was I really wanted. My bouquet was prettier than I envisioned, and she made miniature bouquets for the mothers which were just as pretty (I actually would have been just as happy with the mother's bouquets if I was on a tight budget). Would recommend Stephanie in a heart beat. -

My flowers were classic, elegant, and yet still unique. I request a traditional calla lilly and deep red rose bouquet, and Stephanie's designs were exactly what I wanted and more. The little details were what impressed me the most. She's very knowledgable about the flower industry and I knew I could trust her in that area. During our meeting she was brainstorming about the little details she'd like to include and they ended up being what made the design so unique. From the ribbon she used to tie the flowers, the pearl pins she used to keep them in place, to the wrist bands she used for the mother's flowers--everything was beautiful and perfect. What wouldn't hesitate to use her services again or to recommend them. -

We contacted Stephanie when we made a last-minute decision (the week before) to order a bouquet, boutonniere and 2 flower arrangements for our wedding. She was very easy to work with despite being on a short timeframe. We met with her to discuss colors and types of flowers we liked, and gave her free rein on the creativity. She made beautiful arrangements using very creative materials (in addition to flowers - including chili peppers and fresh herbs), to fit within our budget. The arrangements still looked good a couple of weeks after the wedding. We highly recommend Stephanie's Secret Garden! -

Stephanie was absolutely amazing for my wedding! She has worked with Strong Mansion numerous times and knows the lay of the land (which is always helpful!). She really took the time to listen to my vision and helped me pick out budget friendly flowers and alternatives for season specific. We worked very closely with one another to pick out the perfect colors and even which flowers would be in those specific colors. I couldn't be more happy with how everything came out. LOVED my bouquet! So dreamy! She even called a few days before to let me know a specific flower did not come in well, but had a replacement. She always kept me informed with how everything was going!
My only suggestion to Stephanie is to create a simple spreadsheet or chart when giving quotes/estimates. I am definitely a Type A personality and like things organized, but it was hard to see overall everything I was paying for and making sure we didn't miss anything when it is sent in paragraphs via email. She does not do any contracts, just a deposit fee that holds your date - that did make me a little nervous (again Type A over here), but she is very reputable and is well known in the community so that put my mind at ease! Another suggestion I have is to keep the sample appointments a little shorter. It was really neat watching her put together bouquets and centerpieces and sit and chat, but 3 hours was a little excessive. It would have been nice if a few things were prepped before my Sister and I got there.
Overall I would absolutely choose Stephanie again to do my wedding and any other event! Amazing artist!! -

Stephanie is always fabulous to work with. Tell her your colors and she'll come up with ideas. If you've got a vision of something different (we did a hanging ball of white flowers years ago for an[ wedding Open House), she'll make it fabulous. Stephanie is also anxious to make sure her creations fit the personality of the person and the event. -

Stephanie did such an amazing job with my wedding! She pays close attention to detail and had extremely good taste! I simply told her what I was looking for, what the theme of my wedding was and she did exactly what I wanted and more! It's fun working with someone who loves what they do! I highly recommend her! -

Beautiful flowers from Stephanie
Stephanie takes all the time you need to communicate the look you want and works together with you to create that look within your budget. My daughter and I actually visited her shop the weekend of her bridal shower and watched as she created sample bouquets that we were able to use at the shower. She does this so you know exactly what you will be getting the day of the wedding. She is receptive to your providing your own vases, which saved us money . The flowers she uses are of the highest quality and stay looking fresh the whole evening (actually, the bouquets continued to adorn my house for over a week after the wedding). She truly cares about the families she works with and is very receptive to your ideas. -

Stephanie did a fabulous job creating floral arrangements for my rehearsal dinner and wedding. She has an excellent eye for creating exactly what I wanted. From the start she was helpful in guiding me in which flowers would look good together, and honest about what might not work well. Her execution was spot on and I could not be happier with the outcome of the flowers. Book Stephanie for your events! :) -

Stephanie is one of the most creative people I have ever worked with. She is very patient, she answered every question we could think of and went above and beyond and expectation I had regarding our flowers. She and her assistant Linda made me sample flowers for the bride and bridal party and centerpieces. She spent countless hours with my mom and I designing our arrangements, and was able to pick out the best ideas.
I was a bit upset wedding day that my bouquet was different than what we had planned. But when I called to ask about it, I understood that the flowers that arrived that time of year for my bouquet came in looking off, so she substituted others that were similar. They looked great, and I'm happy she went ahead and switched them out. -

Wow, Stephanie's work was above and beyond my expectations! I was lucky that she was available as I didn't even contact her until about a month out - my date was the only one she had left for April! She saw my vision and made it happen in record time. I knew our vibes would totally mesh when I went to her rustic chic studio on her family farm. She incorporated the beauty of peonies with my succulent themed wedding - look closely at the bouquet. She helped me design the arch look and suggested ideas to do it on a budget. I provided the fabric, but she hung, along with her flowers creation, the day of. As a bride on a budget, it was a bit more than I wanted to spend, but worth it for the high quality of her work!-

Our flowers for our wedding looked absolutely beautiful. Stephanie did a wonderful job giving us the green, organic look we were going for while keeping everything structured so it wasn't too "wild." She was able to provide a variety of flowers to go with out color scheme and budget. The flowers were all in great condition and lasted long after the event. Would highly recommend to any couple looking for a florist for their wedding. -

Stephanie did a great job with my wedding flowers! The flowers were beautiful and bouquets well done. I was coming from a far distance so she was very accommodating and would work with my schedule when determining our meetings even if they did not fit her shop hours. I was very happy with the service and products! -

Stephanie is the best! She recently did the flowers for my wedding, and I seriously could not have been happier -- everything was stunning! She has wonderful taste and is flexible and accommodating -- she spent extensive time with me and my mother, talking through options and trying them out. After each meeting, she also sent me home with the samples we worked on so that I could consider them afterwards, which was very kind. She clearly cared about doing a great job, and she certainly delivered! Every detail was beautiful. The one, tiny suggestion I'd make is that I think it might be helpful if she took on a comprehensive planning software. Occasionally, we went over details a couple times because her notes were in a couple places, or didn't have them readily on hand. However, she was very responsive and had all of the details correct, so perhaps it's just personal preference. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to anyone!! Thank you for the gorgeous flowers! -

Stephanie worked with me to create centerpieces that reflected the tone and the colors of our party. She understood my budget, and worked very hard to find flowers that would ultimately give me the look I wanted with an affordable price point -

Stephanie came recommended to me via another florist who had my day booked. I really liked her whimsical and artsy design aesthetic. Even though she was a little far away for me (her in Poolesville, MD me in Springfield, VA) it was worth it. I had two requests.... no pastels and no carnations. I know nothing about flower types but she had lots of ideas and was able to stay within my budget. As a previous reviewer mentioned, Stephanie doesn't use a formal contract.... communication is done in person or via email. If you are a Type A personality, this may bother you. But I assure you she is flexible and not out to nickel and dime you. It definitely was not something I was used to being a meeting planner myself but I just made sure to clarify everything we discussed and kept things organized. My wedding flowers were absolutely gorgeous. She certainly captured my vision and details that I dreamed of. And, I purchased all of my floral containers (my choice) and she used them all beautifully. Thank you Stephanie! -

Thanks to Stephanie's impulsiveness, my flowers were the most disappointing part of my day. Truly I mean that, and my church a/c broke before the ceremony. Even after going to Poolesville to a dingy, cramped studio for samples, my bouquet was not what was agreed upon. I wanted RIBBONS. I was never a "must-have-blush-peonies" kind of girl; all I ever wanted was big dramatic streamers! They were the focal point of every inspo photo I shared with Stephanie. I went to JoAnn and bought $100+ ribbon for the bouqs, bouts, etc. I handed all supplies over in April (at samples meeting) for a June wedding. I had one old handkerchief that I wanted folded up and tucked in, for the sake of having "something old." Stephanie convinced me to wrap it, but we decided it could be hidden with my desired ribbon look. Sample photo actually shows that. I did not get that at all. I got a full wrap with the old, non-modern yellowing piece of cloth front and center and just a few little ribbons. YUCK. (I had it cleaned at Parkway, but old is old). It looked worse than DIY. I was disappointed when the bouquet came to the hotel, but it was too late. My ladies tried to help, but we didn't think we'd need sharp scissors on wedding day and there was not time. Thanks to their efforts, there are no group photos of us getting ready together. To be fair, my contract - which is in Comic Sans font or something artsy-fartsy and unprofessional, has it is as wrapped, but most people will also agree that an in-person sample is a de facto contract, or at least worth considering. I try to overlook such things with people who are artists, and I try to trust their judgement. Shame on me. Although Stephanie apologized, she still defends her choice to not support my wishes. My 1st choice florist was Meg Owen. She recommended Stephanie. I noticed another bride had problems with Steph's whimsy in 2016. It seems like Stephanie picks at least 1 bride per year to screw over. Photos/evidence in my profile! -

Failed on execution
Failed to honor her own proposal. Flower decorations on cake were lame and not nearly as described in proposal despite us supplying photos to follow. Sweetheart table never got decorated - she forgot? Not a single flower. Ordered the wrong vessels for the table arrangements, offered to loan us ones she already had, but then expected us to return them to her after the wedding. What a way to kill a vibe! The bouquets for bride and MOH were nice. Other than that, didn't live up to her reputation at all. -

I ended up ordering the bridal bouquet, 5 bridesmaids bouquets, and 2 boutonnieres from Stephanie. She makes beautiful whimsical arrangements, unfortunately, working with her is just as whimsical as her arrangements.
When I shared our wedding budget and the styles we wanted with Stephanie prior to committing to using her services for our wedding, she said she was able to work with it, which is why we decided to book her as our florist. Our first consultation was great; we met at her farm and she created complimentary samples of the bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets and centerpieces. When I received her proposal (written in an email, no official contract) following the consultation, the estimated cost was within our budget but it wouldn't give us all the flowers we needed after all. I asked for suggestions for cheaper flowers so that we could add more but she said she couldn't make the bouquets any smaller or change any flowers because then I wouldn't get the look I wanted. She straight out said some of my flower suggestions would look ugly (i.e. using carnations in mason jars at that particular venue. Which I ended up doing, and it looked beautiful). There was a lot of emails back and forth trying to figure out how we could get all the flowers arrangements we need within our budget, which she had originally said was doable. 2 weeks prior to our wedding the bouquets had increased in price as prices from her vendors had increased (I guess if she had provided an actual contract we could have avoided this issue), there were some additional administrative costs added as well. because we didn't have time to find another florist this close to our wedding we ended up ordering the 6 bouquets and 2 boutonnieres. For our centerpieces, ceremony flowers and other arrangements, we ordered fresh flowers from Blooms By the Box and arranged them ourselves - it looked beautiful!
If you decide to work with this vendor make sure you get everything in writing and have her sign it! -

Stephanie's bouquets, corsages, and boutineers were beautiful from the start, and you can tell she knows the flower industry and has skill.
The centerpieces went through a couple revisions - the final centerpieces on the day of were beautiful, but the 2 drafts had my mom and I wondering if we should forfeit our deposit, or decide to do the centerpieces ourselves. The first ones were a few little flowers haphazardly put into vases and a bowl. The second was some hydrangea stuffed into a bowl. Once she quoted about $2,000 for flowers, I suggested switching the orchids in the long glass vases with a cheap flower - she used stock flower in her sample, and somehow still quoted $45 each! She kept hedging about the price, and didn't give us a final estimate until weeks later, and sent it in typed in an email, and even had an error in it ($30x5 is $150, not $155). The other vendors I had all sent official looking contracts. She kept arguing with me about a flower I wanted being blue - to my eye it was a bluish-purple.
Meetings with her were 3 hours long and inefficient. Both meetings at her flower shop she had computer problems and we had to sit and wait while she tried to fix it. Rather than having bouquets or samples ready for us, we had to sit and watch her prepare them. When my mom, MIL, and I met with her at the church and at the reception (10 minute drive from the church), it was a long meeting from 6 to 9. Stephanie ignored my MIL completely - it's like she wasn't even there. And just when I thought we had talked over something to death, resolved it, and moved on, she brought it up again.
She messed up the church flower pews - we paid her to do 10 bunches of baby's breath, spaced every other pew (it was 10 pews on each side of the aisle). Instead she did one bunch every pew, going back 5 rows, making the flowers look all bunched up in front and the rest look sparse. Very uneven and not what we discussed.
Not sure how she won a Wedding Wire award.
