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's Secret Garden's reply:
Thank you so very much Mary Beth!!!!
We loved working with you all —you and your daughter are delightful and have great taste :-) Purple and red is actually one of my favorite combinations and I love it was so different 💜 -

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!Stephanie's Secret Garden's reply:
Thank you so very much Theresa !!! I loved flowering your beautiful wedding! All your personal touches of glassware and accent pieces made every table a unique vignette.
All my very best wishes and thanks🌺 -

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's Secret Garden's reply:
Oh wow….I can’t thank you enough for this amazingly kind review!!!!
We loved flowering your wedding—everything about the whole experience was wonderful❤️ -

Joan B. Sent on 04/29/2022Amazing 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!!!Stephanie's Secret Garden's reply:
Thank you so much Joan for this super kind review!
I do love local barn weddings and flowering Alex’s was a lot of fun….specially when we get to see the before and after🌷 -

Janet R. Sent on 10/17/2021Stephanie'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's Secret Garden's reply:
Thank you so very much Janet! It makes me so happy knowing that you loved all your wedding flowers! You were a delight to work with❤️ -

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's reply:
Sarah I just realized I never thanked you for this wonderful review !
It was a true pleasure doing your wedding flowers, and it makes me so happy that you loved everything as much as I loved doing it!!! -

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!!!Stephanie's Secret Garden's reply:
Thank you so very much Katie Rose!!!
You were a delight to work with. Wishing you and Thomas all the very best 💕 -

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.Stephanie's Secret Garden's reply:
You're the best !!!! Thank you so very much for this stellar review!
I loved working with y'all and creating beautiful wedding flowers for you! -

User2329293 Sent on 09/22/2015Stephanie 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. -

Kirstin G. Sent on 06/18/2021There'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.Stephanie's Secret Garden's reply:
Kirstin--your wonderful review and all the time and thought you put into writing this leaves me speechless...thank you soooo much!
You and your family were absolutely wonderful to work with, so honestly the 2 years of planning and prep were a pleasure on my part.
Many, many thanks!

Kate M. Sent on 11/25/2019Fantastic 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 bohemian blooms!
Stephanie designed the flowers for my son’s rehearsal dinner. I wanted something wild with a found flora look and she hit the mark spot on. Very easy to work with too! -

Jessa Sent on 05/04/2018Stephanie 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!
