A Stem Above

an we could have imagined. Highly recommend!

ure our vision and know exactly what we wanted. We were able to visit Erin's studio a month before our wedding to finalize candles and final details. Her studio is great and she has so much inventory you're bound to love something. On the day of, I was blown away by Erin's floral work. It was perfection and beyond what I imagined. It was absolutely stunning and our sweetheart table was the star. We highly recommend working with Erin to make your wedding dreams come true!

o look like and she went above and beyond. The arrangements look gorgeous and I received tons of comments. I will recommend her without hesitation.

ey have the ability to create a wide range of arrangements and looks. Erin's knowledge of seasons when flowers are in and how to achieve the look I wanted was great. Would recommend without hesitation.

knew I wanted white flowers, greens, and lots of candle light, and Erin made our dream wedding come true. During our wedding flower preview, I told Erin to just do whatever she felt would look the best because I trusted her and she exceeded all of my expectations. The flowers in my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets were crisp, fresh, and gorgeous. No browning whatsoever. The men’s boutonnières were fabulous with 1 ranunculus flower and greens - simple and chic. I highly HIGHLY recommend going with Erin for your event, she will not let you down. Thank you Erin! I also wanted to shoutout Ivan, the other piece of the A Stem Above puzzle because he is fabulous as well. Thank you both for everything.

taste. Our wedding looked spectacular because of her staff and herself. Thank you A Stem Above for making our wedding exceed our expectations!

you pay for, there are no hidden fees, she is clear and straightforward which I liked , and she knows her stuff. I wish we could do it all over again, and Erin if you are reading this, thank you for everything. You pulled our entire vision together and we were reminded of that after viewing our photos this past month!

n worked with us to come up with cost effective alternatives for some of our ideas. The entire process was stress-free and because of the trust Erin had built with us, we were able to relax and enjoy everything that much more! On top of the excellent service, the floral and design elements were GORGEOUS and we couldn't be happier!

had hoped to have an outdoor wedding but due to poor weather, we had to move the event inside. Erin handled the change without any issue, and made the indoor space really lovely. My parents helped pick flowers, and Erin was very nice in fielding my mom's many questions. She was always very responsive to emails as well. I highly recommend you use A Stem Above!

ry courteous of budget and being resourceful. She made the entire experience comfortable and stress free. I HIGHLY recommend Erin and her team, they are consummate professionals and total rockstars!

tiful vision. her attention to detail and knowledge of flowers and a space made our reception truly beautiful and unforgettable. Our guests continually mentioned how beautiful everything was and we really couldn't have asked for more. I would highly recommend A Stem Above for a wedding.

tone Hotel and saw how beautiful Erin and her team had made the room. She completely exceeded our expectations and executed our requests/tweaks from the mock-up flawlessly. My family and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. In addition, Erin is an absolute pleasure to work with. Very responsive, receptive and has tons of examples to help visualize the big day. Highly recommend!

Even if you're not budget worried, Erin will give you input if something doesn't provide price point value. My husband and I were able to view the Stock Exchange Room before the reception, we felt like we were in a dream. Thank you Erin!

the rest of the wedding vision with me, which I wanted to keep simple and within budget. Erin understood exactly what I wanted. She knows what today’s current trends are and has access to flowers that other vendors said they could not find. The day of the wedding she absolutely nailed it! Besides my dream bouquet, she put together the perfect loose florals for my hair and a breathtaking hanging arrangement to complement the handmade arbor my Dad built – with huge dahlias home grown in her garden. She made my secret garden wedding an absolute fairytale. I highly recommend A Stem Above!

!

in making sure that our wedding floral and decor dreams came true. She’s a true expert, immediately understood our vision, and executed flawlessly.

s to what I was hoping for over a quick phone call, and wasn't able to see anything until the day-of. I can say she and her team definitely delivered - the venue looked beautiful!

whites and beautiful fall colors. I would highly suggest A Stem Above if you want your florals and decor to stand out and be one of a kind!

e creative and unique pieces. It was more than we could have hoped for. Definitely contact them! A special bonus is the amazing proposal that Erin puts together to help flower dummies (like me) better visualize colors and flowers!

mmend A Stem Above to any friends getting married. The flowers and table-settings were perfect, and I appreciated them delivering a proposal that was within my budget.

profession and didn't have the design expertise to put my vision into words. I was having trouble with other florists, but when I met with A Stem Above they were able to capture my vision immediately, even with my poor description. They are not only an amazing florist but they are design experts and true artists! They captured every single detail of my vision perfectly and even helped with suggestions to make it that much better. Walking into my venue the day of and seeing it all come together was one of my most favorite memories from that day! Erin had completely transformed the room! With it being the middle of winter in Chicago I wanted it to feel warm and romantic. The mix of the lace runners on the wood tables with lanterns and candle treatment and mixed floral votives and mercury glass it was just amazing. All of my girlfriends were raving about my decor! Not to mention that the bouquets they made were absolutely breathtaking. I couldn't believe how perfect mine was and the succulent bridesmaid bouquets were so much better than I even expected. Not only was everything they provided perfect but Erin/team were great to work with. They are extremely knowledgeable, personable and professional. I cannot say a bad word about them. They were quick to respond on questions, helped me stay within my budget and offered a lot of great ideas/advice. All I can say is do yourself a favor and choose A Stem Above. You won't be disappointed.

iversity Club. The flowers, the candles, the colors - everything fit our vision and the time of year perfectly! Erin was so helpful and responsive and kept us calm - even with the stress of wedding planning. We received so many compliments and my husband and I couldn't be happier. We highly recommend A Stem Above!!

made our wedding amazing. I had one phone conversation with her and gave her an idea of what I wanted and then my husband and I flew to Chicago (we were planning the wedding from out of town) and met with Erin and our wedding planner and she had a mock up table there and all sorts of other options so that we could try a bunch of different options until we got it perfect. On the day of my wedding, everything looked flawless and was exactly what I had envisioned in my dreams. She is a small business owner and it is obvious that she genuinely cares about making her brides and grooms happy.

ve to do this, but she went above and beyond right off the bat. What really set Erin apart to me, and unfortunately cannot be said for every wedding vendor, is that she never once tried to upsell me. In fact, she tried to talk me OUT of extra arrangements at the 11th hour because she didn't think we needed them and it would compete with other elements at the venue. That to me is the mark of someone who cares about how my wedding looked, and not just making a buck. I cannot recommend her enough! She is rare. :)

e suggestions and guidance that helped make our wedding SO beautiful. Planning a wedding from out-of-town can be complicated, but everyone (especially Erin!) was helpful and professional and always responded quickly to comments/concerns. From providing us with a beautiful place card "tree" to helping donate our flowers after the night was over, A Stem Above deserves 5 stars because they went above and beyond our expectations, and we were so grateful to have had their partnership in our wedding planning!

st/price. I would recommend her and team to anyone to looking for amazing flowers, table decor etc at your wedding!

r families and guests. Erin transformed the room with stunning drapery, one-of-a-kind ostrich feather and candelabra centerpieces, and romantic white and gold bouquets. She accepted every question and request as a challenge to help bring our vision to life. I couldn't have imagined more beautiful decor for our big day. And through it all, Erin was a joy to work with. She was upbeat, professional, and supportive. We knew we could fully trust her to execute flawlessly. I hope to be lucky enough to work with her again in the future.

a different state and Erin with A Stem Above was incredible at making sure I felt comfortable with everything and so easy to communicate with! If I could give 10 stars I would! We loved A Stem Above!

s on the flowers from our guests. Erin took care of the entire process and are daughter was very happy with the results. Outstanding!!! Thank you.

d talk in person, but just from our emails you were able to create the exact look that I wanted. It was like you were in my head! From the gorgeous linens, to the beautiful mixture of white flowers, to even the types of vases that you used and even the candles and candle holders, it honestly was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I could not be happier with how everything turned out. I couldn’t stop walking around the room and staring at everything! Everyone loved the place card tree too!! I received so many compliments on the decorations and people could not get over the linens! Thank you so much for making my wedding so beautiful and honestly it was the best day of my life.

arrangements based on our color palate and gave suggestions for different styles. I couldn't believe how the colors of the bouquet came together and complimented my bridesmaids' dresses! The bouquets and floral arrangements were beautiful and beyond my expectations in every way.

slightly different design focus during our ceremony (garden-like), to the lunch reception (casual), versus the evening reception (modern as in museum). Michelle nailed it! Not only was her design beautiful, but she managed to reuse elements from ceremony and lunch in the evening in a cost-effective, but seamless way. I would highly recommend A Stem Above!! Thank you Michelle!!!!

absolutely made my wedding flower visions come alive. She had tons of options for me in our initial meeting and helped me figure out what I wanted despite my lack of floral knowledge. Erin is also incredibly easy to worth with --she's down to earth, super communicative and very respectful of budgets. (I liked her so much that my fiance's family used her for the rehearsal dinner flowers too!) Thank you Erin and A Stem Above!

odating when helping us put together our vision. She had tons of great ideas, and everything turned out perfectly. I would highly recommend A Stem Above!

nstitute and the design/color combination was exactly what I wanted (actually, it was way better). She was really easy to work with and much more affordable than the other vendors I contacted. Katie

ove for any bride and groom's florals.

she was the one who could take our vision and make it a reality. From our first meeting she made suggestions that we had not even thought of and always kept our budget in mind along the way. Our ceremony and reception decor turned out better than we could ever have imagined it. Thank you Erin for making the decor and atmosphere at our wedding absolutely perfect!!

sure she was very clear on what I wanted. Everything turned out perfectly!

to create a set-up that included tea tins for the flowers and old books. They provided gorgeous single stem peonies that my bridesmaids were able to place in a book and carry down the aisle. Erin and her team were great to work with and I would absolutely recommend ASA to others!

those who are unsure of exactly what they are looking for. I was in the latter group, which can feel overwhelming. Erin is the perfect mix of personable and professional. I talked with her about a theme and colors, and she made fabulous suggestions and shared ideas via a Pinterest board. She did a fantastic job of taking what we discussed/shared and put her own artistic flair into it. Her staff was awesome as well, and the attention to detail was phenomenal. A Stem Above helped make our big day truly special and memorable- I cannot recommend enough!

nd revised my contract several times until it was just right. The flowers were to die for! I received so many compliments from my guests and even still when people see the photos! The flowers looked fresh all day and night, which made me very happy. I’ve been to other weddings were I’ve seen the flowers already look like their dying half way through dinner. It can get pricey, but it all depends on what you’re looking for. It’s definitely worth paying a premium to work with such professional vendors, I never had to worry about a thing, which is just what I wanted on my wedding day.
