Custom Wedding florals
Stem and Thistle specializes in wedding celebrations with guest counts of 150 or less. With thoughtful intention and a personalized approach, we create artistic, sophisticated, and timeless designs. Flowers are our love language, so we love to incorporate them into every detail of your day. Our style presents lush, natural, and textual designs that honor the present season.
Working closely with you and your team, we establish a cohesive, curated, and custom design, informed by your aesthetic, wedding details, the season, and wedding location. Our plan encompasses all aspects of your day - from where you get ready, to your ceremony and reception, to breakdown at the end of your celebration.
Stem and Thistle has a special affinity for intimate wedding celebrations that gather your nearest and dearest while making flowers an integral part of your design plan. Please inquire about our smaller wedding offerings for guests counts of 100 or less.

Our signature process

1. hello
If we are available on your date, we will schedule a 30-minute consultation call. During our call we will get to know each other - it’s very important to us that we are a perfect fit. We will discuss your wedding day details and vision, view your inspiration imagery, and explore how we can create a unique and special design for you.
2. Getting to know you
We will create a cohesive wedding floral proposal based on our conversation. Within the proposal you will find the details of your design and pricing. We will provide one revision of our initial proposal to reflect any desired changes.
3. Proposal
Once you accept the proposal you will receive a proposal package that contains the details of your day, a contract, and payment schedule. Once your contract is signed and your deposit is received, we will begin preliminary work for your wedding.
4. Booking Stem & Thistle
In the months leading up to your wedding, we will coordinate with your wedding team and stay in contact with you and/or your wedding planner. Six weeks prior to your celebration we will schedule a call to review/confirm floral and decor details, timeline, and all other pertinent aspects relating to your day. We are available to you if any questions or needs arise.
5. Staying connected
This is when all of our planning culminates into a beautiful day! We will see you when we deliver your personal florals. Our team will be on site to set up and breakdown at the venue. If your design requires a room transition or a movement of floral pieces, we will remain at the venue until everything is complete.
6. Wedding Day!
Elopements
Elopements may be small but are just as special, significant, and romantic as full-service celebrations. We love creating beautiful florals to make your elopement memorable and personal. Whether it's a bouquet, boutonniere, floral crown, floral collar for your furry family member, centerpieces for an intimate brunch, lunch or dinner, we would love to create it for you! Please inquire about our custom elopements offerings.

kind words
Hiring Brooke was, hands down, the best decision we made when selecting our wedding vendors.
She is not only incredibly talented but she is kind, thoughtful and someone you want in your corner on your wedding day and throughout the entire planning process. To say that she blew the design out of the water would be an understatement. When we walked into our reception space and saw her designs, we were overwhelmed. It was beyond anything we could ever have dreamed of. She brought our vision to life with personal touches that made the overall design just sparkle. We recommend Brooke to all of our friends and family - it will be the easiest decision you make when hiring your wedding vendors!
