Chicago Wedding & Event 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.”
