3 reviews for Stems
This is my new favorite place to get flowers! It is a 'floral artist's' boutique. It has all sorts of classy looking vases, picture frames, mirrors, candles, soaps & assorted children's outfits. It feels very 'European' to me! The best part about Stem's is the fresh flowers they get every Wednesday. They have a big chalkboard when you walk in that lists the fresh flowers that are for sale. You can create the perfect little bouquet for very inexpensive.
I got the cutest bouquet for my mom's birthday last week for ~$5. I told the saleslady that I didn't want roses (so overdone), but that 3 tulips would be great! She added some green flare, wrapped them up with some cellophane & a bow and I was on my way! This was a great way to get a more personalized arrangement of flowers that was more unique than your regular run-of-the-mill bouquets!
*the items for sale other than the flowers are not so inexpensive, but cute to browse through!
As a rule, it's best not to try and show up last minute for flowers on those special occasions when said items are in high demand. Nevertheless, my ability to follow such simple rules seems to have been impaired recently, and as such, I found myself milling around East Sacramento in the very situation I knew better not to be in.
In my quest, I happened upon Stems. The aptly named little store did not disappoint. Despite a diminished selection, obviously depleted from the run on supply of the previous day, I managed to select (with some assistance) a beautiful and diverse arrangement of some really fresh and colorful flowers (gladiolas, berberas, roses, heather, snapdragons, etc.). Most of Stems' prices are listed on a sign behind the counter, and glancing at it, it was clear that I wasn't going to be leaving without ponying up some major coin since this was a fairly large assortment of flowers. I had a pretty good idea of what this arrangement might cost, but figured I'd wait to see what they came back with as a total for everything we had pulled together.
After just a few minutes, I was informed that since I was practically cleaning out her stock of various varieties, she'd be nice enough to give me a bouquet price, rather than a piece by piece price, which clearly would have been more expensive.
The flowers came wrapped very nicely, and have so far held up well in the vase. While you are waiting for your flowers to be arranged, you can browse the various gifts in the store (soaps, vases, etc.)
All in all, very pleased.
I'll update once I give them some time to break in...
Amazing! They found flowers in winter that were out of season for an amazingly reasonable price. Plus the store has a ton of great items from a few kids clothes to glasses and vases... LOVE this place.
They are so good at arrangements and you can tell they love their job, very refreshing service and just all in all kind people! definitely worth a visit
