Vendors We Love

We’ve developed many friendships along the way with spectacular vendors that we’d love to share with everyone. Every month, we will showcase one vendor and give them the opportunity to speak about what it is they do and exactly what sets them apart from the rest.

Sticks and Stems

Bio:

After working in floral design for 12 years i decided to open Sticks and items while on maternity leave in 2009. I love having the creative freedom and flexibility to have fun with my brides. Getting to know each client and understanding her overall vision for the day helps me to create beautiful flowers that will enhance the tone of the wedding. I have fun with flowers!

My why:

Weddings have always been my favorite part of floral design. I love that the trends and styles are always changing. One weekend I may be creating flowers for a soft and romantic vintage wedding, and the next brightly cloured florals for a fun and funky event. I enjoy playing with different styles and mixing things up.

My Advise for couples:

My advice would be to do some research and compile a list of potential florists to meet with. Check out websites, blogs, facebook pages, etc. Try to get a feel for that particular florists style and whether or not you think they would be a good fit for the look you want to achieve. You may not find your exact bouquet, but if you like the overall style and work of that designer, chances are they’ll be able to create something uniquely beautiful for you. Have fun with your planning!
