I DIY’d my flowers and 48 Longstems was easy to use and shop with. They even go the extra mile and called me following my order to ensure I ordered the correct amount and answered ...
questions I didn’t even know I had! And to top it off, they even offered to have the flowers delivered to their location, prepped them all and delivered them to my venue with extra supplies!! Their customer service exceeded my highest expectations and had a great impact on the success of our big day! We can’t thank them enough! I have continued to recommend them to all my friends and will always be my go to for future events!
Amazing quality and service! We did a ton with hydrangeas with the color scheme to match the theme. Karin went over and above to customize. She (and her husband) has the highest...
standards and personally made sure we were 100% satisfied. The flowers were absolutely beautiful. Can't say enough about how pleased we were. We would unhesitatingly recommend 48LongStems!
48LongStems was phenomenal to work with! They listened to what we wanted and created the exact feel we were seeking while staying within budget. I can't recommend them enough!
Karin was very thorough in her written and verbal communication which was a must since I was located in CA. I had example photos of what I was looking for and color schemes that I ...
had provided to her. We went over my budget and how we can mitigate extra costs which was a huge help. When she and her assistant arrived at my wedding venue with the floral delivery, everything looked perfect! She had to make some substitutions due to demand but the arrangements exceeded my expectations. I needed extra floral for arrangements that I was going to put together myself and she provided more than enough to do so. I love that she used magnets for the mens boutonnieres so they wouldn't damage their suits and the corsages had pearl or gold cuffs which looked classy. Karin even arranged my bridal bouquet with a front side keeping in mind how it would photograph. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you Karin for your assistance and yes I see Maine in our future lol
Perfection at it peak!
We're pretty sure it doesn't get any better than 48LongStems. Karen and her crew were an absolute pleasure to work with. From beginning to end, the experi...
ence was 100% stress free. The personalization, flexibility and recommendations provided by Karen surpassed anything we could have ever expected and/or hoped for.
We opted to be very "hands on". Karen and her crew arrived the day before the wedding with a multitude of buckets of healthy, fresh and beautiful flowers and greens, as well as vases, antique boxes, pruning shears, wire, ribbons, etc. They then helped us put together bouquets, table arrangements and planters. The bridesmaids each assembled their own bouquets with flowers of their choices which made everything so personal and wonderful. Karen and her crew then put the finishing touches on them. They also shared all sorts of fascinating floral and horticultural knowledge with us. I can hardly put in to human words how much fun this was and how peaceful we all were during this time. It became one of the most memorable and fun experiences of the the whole wedding adventure. She also hand made the boutonnieres, a corsage and arbor hangings which were exquisite.
We were asked by Karen if we would like to have any extra flowers that we weren't taking home after the wedding donated to a nearby institution of our choice. The thoughtfulness and broad perspective of this question was extremely moving.
Through this kind thought of Karen's we were able to share our joy with people who were struggling in one way or another.
Just amazing!
From the outset, we felt very well taken care of. Karen's abilities to listen and guide and suggest are stellar. She and her crew are so kind and polite and and are just so much fun to be with. With no reservations whatsoever, we recommend 48LongStem to anyone who asks.
We loved our flowers! It was very helpful that we could see a mock-up before the wedding. Few florists offer this option.
Karin made my vision come to life!! We were absolutely stunned with what she delivered on wedding day. I sent her inspiration pictures and she took it from there! Would 100% recomm...
end her for any wedding needs!!
I DIY'd the flowers for my daughters wedding and highly recommend 48LongStems. Karin helped me with color palettes, flower selection and designs. Multiple phone conversations. W...
hen disaster struck and there was a severe rose shortage they substituted a more expensive flower, peonies, at no increase in cost to me. Karin also talked me down off the wall once or twice! Awesome, honest company with GREAT customer service!
Karen at 48 Long Stems was incredible to work with!! She was very responsive, spent lots of time on the phone with me mapping out my needs as well as working with me to be within ...
our budget. Once we ordered flowers she invited me and my fiance to her own home to give us detailed tutorials on how to put together the flower arrangements that we were having, and taught us how to make bouquets and boutonnieres. She supplied us with tons of supplies, and offered several times to travel to us if we needed any help. She was always available to answer questions, and was more helpful than I can explain, she is an angel!! We had some greenery that was browning, and she went out of her way to get us more and even delivered it to us that day. I cannot recommend Karen and 48 Long Stems enough!!! We had so many flowers, our wedding guests kept complimenting how gorgeous they were, and we saved thousands of dollars by using wholesale flowers. AMAZING COMPANY AND PEOPLE!!!!
