 Dear Candice, 

We thoroughly enjoyed our flowers for the wedding. They were gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. The communication, follow through and attention to detail was absolutely spectacular and made for a wonderful experience with the Petal and The Stem.

One of the best things about the entire experience was that we needed to make adjustments to our order midway through - we needed to order centerpieces and were held to  budget - The Petal and The Stem offered amazing ideas that were beautiful while staying within our budget.

 Thank you again.  Gina Gray-Mahler Promotions Director, 950 KJRam and 95.7 KJR FM

Dear Owner of the Petal and The Stem,

My experience with The Petal and The Stem was so much more then I had expected it to be.  See when it comes to flowers I don’t know a whole lot, and I had no idea where to even start.  But that wasn’t a problem for Candice or Corie.  

The wedding was perfect, the flowers looked amazing and they really added just the perfect touch to the reception.  Before the night was over, I think I had more compliments on my center pieces then on my dress!  

I strongly recommend The Petal and The Stem to anyone planning a wedding or any other event.  Even if it’s just for an individual person, give Candice and Corry a call, you won’t regret it…

Candice and Corie,

I just wanted to formally thank-you for creating such beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages for our wedding on August 29th, 2009. They all turned out perfect; exactly what I had imagined. I especially want to thank-you for your patience when it came to myself making changes to the bouquets. You have obviously dealt with many brides, as your professionalism was clearly evident. I also have to comment on the neat way everything came packaged; the bouquets were like individual presents for all my bridesmaids and myself! We didn't want to take them out of their "bags". Thank-you for making a mere image in my head, reality!

Dear Candice,

 I loved the flowers that you did for our wedding!  Corey was amazing in helping me figure out what to use and letting us see arrangements that were being done while we were talking to her.  I appreciated so much that when you delivered everything, you helped the guys with their boutonnieres (it saved me from doing them all!)  Our moms and grandma were so excited to have the magnets for their corsages - I appreciated that as well.  There were compliments all night long on how amazing the flowers looked, and I can't wait to send my friends to you!  Thank you so much. 
 
Thank you again!  Danica

Dear Candice and Corrie, 

My experience with The Petal and The Stem was wonderful!!! I changed my mind a "few" times and you were always accommodating and cheerful.  You were very knowledgeable about what would stand up in the august heat, good thing since it was 80 degrees!  I never worried about the flowers, I knew they would be beautiful and was excited to see them on my wedding day!
 
Thank you so much!  Jessica Ortiz

Dear Corey, Candice, and the staff at The Petal and The Stem,

We want to thank you all for everything you did for our July wedding. The flowers were absolutely stunning and the quality was amazing (the lived for a full two weeks until that big heat wave!) We were also very impressed with the excellent customer service we received and appreciated that you were able to work with our budget.

We appreciate all that you did to help make our wedding day perfect. We will recommend you to family and friends and hopefully use you again in the future.

Sincerely, Briana and Ken Butcher

You did such an AMAZING job on my flowers. They were more beautiful than I imagined! I was just informed that you made my arch, and it was so perfect! You are one talented woman, and such a blessing on my special day.

God Bless!  Ashley Bachelor

Dear Candice,

Thanks once again!  The bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres were perfect.  They were exactly what I envisioned.  I especially loved how they came packaged!  The bouquets were each like little presents.  We didn't want to take them out of their packaging.  I have to especially thank-you for your patience with accommodating the many changes I make to the flowers.  I will highly recommend you to anyone interested in any flowers, for weddings, or any occasion.

Dear Candice,

Please forgive the belated letter of thanks for such a fantastic job of decorating our house during the holidays. Your work was nothing short of magic, having transformed the house from its normal state to a place of beauty for Christmas.

What was best of all was leaving in the morning and coming back from the office to such a well-thought out design and beautifully decorated environment. Not only that, the extra touches on the fireplace mantle and the entry doorway contributed to the wonderful feeling we enjoyed for many weeks.

I am also personally thankful for the weekly delivery of roses to my wife at our office. The quality of the floral arrangements and the consistent service are quite welcome in these trying times. It is company’s like yours which set the standard to which others should strive to attain.

We are grateful for the service and will not hesitate to use it again in the future.

Sincerely,

Hi Candice:

I just wanted to thank you for the absolutely beautiful flower arrangement that you did for Administrative Professional’s Day. The flowers were sent to me by one of the salesmen in our company. Interestingly, the website he used to order accidentally doubled his order and I received the same bouquet from another florist. The difference in the quality of the arrangements is dramatic. The arrangement you did is not only more colorful and fuller, it is also just prettier by far than the other arrangement. The quality and variety of the flowers and greenery you used is far and away better than what the other florist used. And I think it’s very telling that even though I received their bouquet a full three days after I received yours, it is already wilting, even though it is receiving exactly the same care as yours.

The care and creativity you put into this bouquet is obvious. You can be sure that the next time I need flowers, I will be calling you, and I will be recommending you to all my friends.

Thank you so much for the bright smile your bouquet brought to my day.

My daughter was down at Mill Creek Town center last Friday for an errand, and decided to stop in and buy my mother and myself flowers on a whim. She’s never bought flowers before- but said your store just looked to happy and cheerful that it made her happy and she wanted to go in. My mother is going through chemo right now- and my daughter wanted to give her the flowers for that and her birthday- hoping they would make her feel better. Not only did you help her put together an absolutely beautiful bouquet for a price she could afford on a 17 year olds budget, but the flowers she bought are the only ones that are still fresh looking and gorgeous one week later! (I went to spend the night with my mom to help her last night, and she had the flowers by her chair she sits in so she could continue to enjoy them.)

I just wanted you to know that the care and beauty you create has brought joy to at least 3 people in the last week…..my daughter, my mother, and myself. Thank you for creating something wonderful.
