    Highly Recommend!!!

    Ashley with Gathered Stems went above and beyond to make our bouquet flowers and reception space look absolutely beautiful. She even brought a bouquet sample over to our house beforehand to let us see her vision for the day. I literally gasped when I walked in and saw how beautiful the flowers turned out at the venue the day of our wedding. Her work is amazing, we had great communication start to finish, and she was very reasonably priced as well. Cannot recommend Ashley and Gathered Stems enough.

    Gathered Stems Floral Couture's reply:

    Wow! Thank you so much Susanne! I enjoyed working with you throughout the entire preparation for your lovely day. I appreciate your kind words; they mean the world to me. Do not be a stranger! Congratulations again!

    Would Love to Hire Her Again!

    Wow!! Those are our only words. We were looking for a florist who could transform space and really create a mood. Ashley went above and beyond. I teared up when I saw our wedding dining room. She took a couple of pointers and made it the absolute maximum it could be. She also worked us through two iterations of color choices and was very patient. Overall, she was affordable, professional, and, most importantly, had a creative vision that created the whole wonderful mood around our wedding. To me, that's a very rare combination. Guests from 12 countries and just as many U.S. states all remarked at how breathtaking they were. Ashley, wonderful!!

    Ashley at Gathered Stems is a phenomenal florist and absolutely wonderful to work with. She turned our visions for a beautiful spring wedding into reality. When our gorgeous arrangements arrived on our wedding day we were speechless- everything was beyond perfect and exceeded our expectations! We have received so many compliments on our arrangements that were truly magazine worthy. Ashley is extremely knowledgeable, professional, honest, and delivered high quality arrangements for an unbeatable price. We highly recommend Gathered Stems and will continue to support this amazing local business for years to come.

    We recently contracted with Ashley at Gathered Stems for our daughter's wedding . The quality of the flowers, the colors and combinations were stunning . Ashley went the extra mile and obtained flowers that several other florists told us were out of season and unavailable . A month later I am still getting compliments on the flowers. Don't waste your time with other florists . You won't find anyone better or more talented than Ashley . Weddings are too important to settle for second-best . Lastly , I was very pleasantly surprised to find Gathered Stems prices were less then the other florists I contacted.

    Gathered stems did the flowers for my wedding and they were perfect- exactly what I had asked for and envisioned. We discovered Gathered Stems after several disappointing meetings with another local florist. Ashley was able to see my vision on the first try and was able to find the specific flowers I wanted, even a few that were out of season. The flowers and greenery were beautiful and great quality. I felt so relieved when I saw the mock-up table bouquet she had done. The pricing was also very reasonable. My parents and I were so happy with the services provided by Gathered Stems and with the care and attention that Ashley and the staff used to make my wedding flowers exactly what I had imagined.

    Ashley and the rest of the gathered stem team did a phenomenal job with our flowers for our wedding! All of our guests commented how amazing they looked, including my MOT who doesn't like flowers! She definitely knows what she is doing and you will not regret choosing her! She was very flexible with me when I needed some things to change and I really appreciated that. We went on our honeymoon and came back a week later and the flowers still looked AWESOME! Do yourself a favor, and pick them!!!

    Ashely from Gathered Stems did a fantastic job with our wedding flowers! I could not have been more impressed by the quality of product and service - the flowers were fresh, the centerpieces were sized perfectly to fit our long tables, and email responses were very quick. Ashley definitely has a keen eye for composition and creativity - which I appreciate! I would recommend Gathered Stems to anyone looking for a flower vendor!

    Gathered stems did a wonderful job of putting together the flowers for my daughter's wedding. As a person who does not like to obsess over details, yet wants things to be just right, I could not have been happier with Ashley's work. I relied on her to deliver a beautiful product and she did!

    Working with Ashley was great. She offered great suggestions during our initial consultation and was very flexible when I made some last minute changes. The flowers were delivered on time and were gorgeous. We got complements on the flowers all night!

    Ashley was very helpful for a bride like myself who only had a color palette and no knowledge of flower types. I like working with women owned businesses because I feel you get a personal touch. Ashley made sure my order was special and was able to make last minute additions as well. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and matched the pictures I pulled exactly. She's very talented. I highly recommend her.

    I recently had flowers for my wedding done by Gathered Stems and I am SO GLAD I DID. They turned out beautifully! The person I worked with was Ashley who was very responsive and very helpful in executing our vision. The quality of the flowers were great. We got married on a hot day, but the flowers looked stunning the entire time. I would absolutely recommend this vendor and hope to work with them again on other events. :)

    Ashley at Gathered Stems not only was extremely responsive and helpful with suggestions, but the bouquets and boutonnieres were exactly like the photographs that I sent her. I couldn't have asked for a better florist and would highly recommend them to anyone!

    We had a great experience with Gathered Stems. Because we planned our wedding within a short time frame, we were concerned about the flexibility and value of the florist we chose, but we didn't have to worry about anything with Ashley!
    We had a general idea of what we wanted, and Ashley was able to provide new ideas that fit our budget.
    On the day, everything turned our perfectly- bouquets, centerpieces etc... It was perfect! I would definitely use Gathered Stems again.

    Gathered Stems provided the flowers for 2 of my daughter's weddings this year. The arrangements were absolutely beautiful!!!! We received many compliments on all of the flowers from the bouquets to the centerpieces to the cake table and altar. Ashley had excellent ideas and suggestions and was a pleasure to work with. She made this step of the wedding planning as easy as possible and problem free.
    I would definitely go back to them again for any future needs.

    My guests still talk about how beautiful the flowers were at my wedding, and it was in August 2010! The quality of the flowers and Gathered Stems' attention to detail was exceptional. I can't say enough good things about Margaret and Gathered Stems!

    Ashley (owner/designer) did really beautiful work that was well within budget and was exactly what I wanted. She listened to what I wanted, but also provided suggestions based on what flowers were in season (and would therefore look better and be cheaper), and what flowers would hold up throughout the day. She added some unique touches that were artistic while still being classically elegant. Everything was on time and just as I expected. I would definitely recommend Gathered Stems!!
