Swank Stems was one of my favorite vendors for my wedding. From the initial meeting I was really impressed with the creative vision that Nicole and I collaborated on. I absolutely adore Nicole. She is so professional and responsive. She is also a very calming force which can help ease the mind of a stressed bride leading up to the big day.

Swank Stems went above and beyond my expectations and would recommend them for your next event.

Nicole did an incredible job with the decor and flowers for my wedding this summer. I had friends that used her previously and they had raved about her style, prices and execution. She immediately understood the vision I had for my wedding and executed on it beautifully. She also never pushed me on my budget and came in under my limit, a huge plus when planning a wedding. I'd highly recommend Nicole and Swank Stems!

Nicole made my venue and my wedding party look BEAUTIFUL! She was flexible and responsive up until the very last day of planning, listened to my every request, and her creations were stunning and just what I had asked for- all while staying within my budget. I would recommend her to any Colorado bride:)

Nicole was absolutely amazing. She worked with me to make my floral vision come to life and was willing to make changes when I wanted to add to our proposal. She also re-ordered and personally delivered my lavender bunches when the ones her provider sent were not up to her standards. The flowers were STUNNING and lasted all day/night. Nicole is the best florist in CO that I have ever worked with.

We planned our wedding on short notice, and Nicole was AWESOME. She accommodated the many requests of my family re: tablescape, and my bouquet was lovely.

I asked something special from Nicole, I asked her to make each of the floral centerpieces to be different and identifiable so that I could use that piece to name my different tables at my wedding. She did this with ease while staying inside my budget and color scheme- and they were BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with me, my friends, and my family.

I can't say enough nice things about Nicole Iverson. She is truly talented and a pleasure to work with. My fiance and I actually had to fire our original florist, Cori Cook, two weeks before our wedding. Cori was rude, disrespectful and horrible to work with.

My fiance and I couldn't believe we hired Nicole on such short notice. We can't believe she was available two weeks out during wedding season! Well she was and let me tell you...she produced the most wonderful florals. We are still receiving compliments on all of the flowers.

A huge thank you to Nicole- you are amazing and a true talent. If you are a bride/groom please don't hesitate to hire her. You will not only love your florals ..you will love Nicole :)

I cannot say enough nice things about Nicole! She was such a pleasure to work with: super responsive, friendly, and professional. She completely captured the look I wanted for my flowers and she did it all while being very conscious of my budget. As table numbers and guest counts changed, she helped keep my floral budget on track without compromising the overall design.

It is a daunting task to plan a destination wedding especially up in the mountains of Colorado. On our exploration trip to find our vendors, the very first person we met was Nicole at Swank Stems. My daughter and I fell in love with her and her inspirational creative designs immediately. We knew immediately that she would be the perfect person to help us with our vision. I loved that she came up with our theme of "Colorado Chic" and with her creative language and questioning, she figured out what we wanted when we weren't even exactly sure.
Working with her was a pure delight. She always had time for us and came up with every solution to a question.
When we walked into the ballroom at the Westin Hotel in Beaver Creek, CO, I was brought to tears. It was beyond what I had even imagined. And my daughter was speechless and over the moon happy with every little detail. Nicole did all the flowers for the rehearsal dinner the night before and was able to incorporate them into some of the empty spaces. The compliments were flying all night long. Friends had never seen such creative gorgeous bouquets. If I could give a rating higher than all 5s I would. If you are looking for an amazing florist, extremely creative, budget conscious, a good listener, has an eye for detail, then Nicole at Swank Stems is your perfect woman for the job. Nicole gave us PERFECTION!

Working with Nicole, from the very beginning was such a pleasant experience. Her creativity and expertise far exceeded any expectations we may have had. From our very first consultation to the wedding day Nicole made sure everything was absolutely perfect, and she did it with a smile!

I absolutely loved her contemporary modern flair, because that is exactly what my hubby and I wanted. She took a picture that I had and an idea and ran with it. The result was stunning! She also took in to consideration our budget and did a fantastic job of getting us the beautiful flowers we wanted on a budget. She ordered and prepped all of the bridesmaid and groomsmen roses so we could put them together ourselves. How many florists would do that? She didn't even hesitate when i brought the idea up.

Overall, our experience with Nicole and Sank Stems was fantastic! I wish I was getting married again so I could work with her one more time! I would recommend her to anyone getting married! Thank you to Sank Stems for help making our wedding day unforgettable!

Nicole provided all the flowers for my wedding and did a beautiful job! As soon as I met with her I knew I wanted her to be my florist. She listened to what I was looking for and planned a perfect floral decor based off of my ideas. When I saw the final product it was better than I had imagined. My bridal bouquet was incredibly beautiful. She was extemely helpful and worked with all my ideas and concerns.

The flowers at my wedding were better than I ever could have dreamed. I was blown away when I saw how beautiful my flowers were at my wedding day and I've gotten so many compliments since.

Nicole "got" the vision of what I wanted at my wedding and designed my flowers to bring it to life. And she did everything within the budget I gave her. My bouquet was my dream bouquet and my husband's boutonnière was awesome. She also created these amazing floral arrangements to surround the alter area during our ceremony and created candle arrangements for our reception. If you have an idea but aren't sure how to implement it, Nicole will be able to come up with an idea.

Nicole was amazing to work with! She was able to help guide me during the process of choosing my flowers and helped make my vision become a reality. Her work was flawless and I have nothing but complements about how beautiful our ceremony and reception looked. Nicole was great about working within our budget and was able to make almost everything we used for the ceremony work at the reception site as well. I will never use another florist for any future events I may have happening.

Nicole was PHENOMENAL! I know I�ve been raving about my vendors but I really feel like I had a dream team and Nicole was a huge part of that! I had lots of pictures and ideas when I met Nicole the first time and she took so much time to understand exactly what I wanted and put her artistic detail in too. She was quick to respond and so helpful during the whole planning process! And I was stunned when I saw all the flowers on the big day! They were so beautiful and the little details we discussed were perfect! Nothing I threw at her was too crazy! She even found a way to incorporate my grandmother�s swarovski crystal bracelet into my bouquet! And on top of all of that her prices were really reasonable and she helped me stay with in my budget instead of pushing me to spend more. Thank you Nicole for adding such beauty to my wedding!

Everything that Swank Stems provided for my wedding was flawless. After meeting with Nicole once she knew exactly what I wanted and saw my vision for my vintage perisian wedding. I could not have asked for anything better. I still look at the pictures from that day and can't believe that it was my wedding. The reception hall was transformed into a romantic candle lit room that any bride would feel lucky to have. The ceremony was breathtaking. It was like a movie set with tons of candles and jewels sparkling in the candle light. It was the most romantic setting to say our vows to. There is not one tiny detail that I would have changed.

Swank Stems provided GORGEOUS flowers for my September wedding! Nicole was so great to work with and was a huge part in making my dream wedding come true. She is so creative and has impeccible style. She explained everything thoroughly and provided an incredibly organized and detailed proposal. Ultimately she was able to understand my vision and take it to a higher level without breaking the bank. I would HIGHLY recommend Swank Stems for any occasion.

We absolutely LOVED working with Nicole! She is so creative and really makes your ideas and visions come to life. She provides such professionalism and produced a proposal unlike any I received from the MANY florists we interviewed. She is very creative and strives to make you really happy with her work, I give her my highest recommendation!!

Nicole was exceptionally professional and responsive from the moment I first contacted her. She listened to my vision of the wedding and flowers, and came prepared with several ideas to our first meeting which was very refreshing...it proved she actually had an interest in my wedding and wasn't just an order taker. Nicole has an extraordanary ability to turn a brides vision into reality without blowing the budget and consistantly delivers white glove customer service at every touch, from the first meeting to the follow up after the wedding. In an industry, where I believe customer service has for whatever reason gone by the wayside, Swank Stems is the shining example for how vendors should treat brides!

Nicole did an amazing job. She provided a quality presentation after our consultation that really got to the essence of what I wanted in our wedding flowers. When it came to the day of she did an amazing job and truly blew me away with the quality of all the arrangements, from the boutonnières to the centerpieces and ceremony decor. I would definitely recommend Swank Stems to anyone wanting high quality service & beautiful arrangements!

Nicole at Swank Stems was lovely to work with. She provided delightful blooms at our wedding at a reasonable cost. In fact, she delivered a lot more than what I was expecting! Nicole was very responsive and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend her to another bride.

Nicole has wonderful ideas and input about bouquets and arrangements! When my wedding day came and I saw everything set up it was more than I could hope for. Everything looked amazing and I felt she really took the time to make every last detail perfect. I would recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful floral work with a great woman.
