Couldn't have asked for a better floral experience

Gill (Stems from here) was simply amazing. Gill was so easy to talk to and her knowledge of various flower varieties really sold us, we knew we wanted lots of foliage and all white flowers but wanted to ensure it caught lots of interest. In came Gill with lots of ideas of different types of flowers and foliage we could use bringing the contemporary look we had in mind to life. We were offered so many different options and we really had a true understanding of what to expect on the day, it felt fully bespoke to us.

Needless to say that when we finally saw it all on the day it exceeded our expectations! We had so many compliments on how wonderful it all looked. Cannot recommend stems from here enough!

Responsive & Creative

I cannot thank Gill enough for creating my beautiful bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, button holes, table spray, ceremony chair décor and wrist corsages.

From day one Gill was patient and helpful as I decided on the colours and look for my wedding flowers. Her professionalism and friendly service is highly recommended.

Beautiful flowers & excellent customer service

My husband and I were like many other covid affected couples and the pressure and stress of planning a wedding during the pandemic really made the whole experience not very enjoyable. We decided to have a smaller "shotgun wedding" with close friends & family. Most florists I had spoken with were unable to be flexible, or could really understand what I was looking for until I met Gill from Stems from here.

Gill really made the whole process enjoyable again for me and with the use of vision boards she gave me a clear understanding of what i wanted for wedding flowers. Gill was super responsive, gave clear instructions on how to look after the flowers, even down where to hold them when photos were being taken (things I had never even considered!).

I couldn't recommend Gill enough, she is brilliant and fantastic value for money.

Very communicative, helpful and friendly.

Thank you for my lovely wedding flowers. We booked the wedding package and Gill got it spot on! Amazing flowers, our bouquets were gorgeous, the buttonholes were really well made and presented. The flowers have lasted really well!

Wonderful from start to finish

Highly recommend Gill. It can be unnerving to pick a florist to help create the perfect wedding day with you. But from the first message with Gill I was put at ease and her quick responses and professionalism was second to none, we needed to discuss my views and thoughts and Gill had samples to show and pictures, we discussed in depth everything and on the day it was purely magical, she understood everything and delivered it. Lots of comments and people saying how wonderful the flowers were. Thank you so much Gill xxx
