Our Story

Hello, I’m Gill a wedding and event florist and the face behind Stems from Here, run from my home-grown floristry studio and workshop based in the charming seaside town of Leigh on Sea, Essex.

I vividly remember the moment when I discovered my undeniable love for floristry at a family wedding. From that moment on, I became addicted to the art of floristry, and it wasn't long before Stems from Here came to fruition as my flourishing business.
As a luxury wedding and event florist, it's always a pleasure to work with clients who have a specific vision for their special day.
I love Orchids, with their elegant and exotic appeal, bring a touch of sophistication to any arrangement. Their long, arching stems and delicate, intricate blooms make them perfect for cascading bouquets, centerpieces, and even floral installations.

At Stems from Here, we understand the importance of every detail, whether it's a small buttonhole or a luxury floral arch. Each element plays a crucial role in elevating the ambiance of a wedding or event.
When it comes to luxury floral arches, our creativity knows no bounds. We approach each arch as a distinctive artistic creation, tailored to the venue and the vision of our clients. From the initial conception to the final installation, we pour our expertise and passion into every aspect of the design. Our floral arches are designed to leave a lasting impression and create a breathtaking backdrop for the most memorable moments.
At Stems from Here, we take pride in creating bespoke floral designs that capture the essence of our clients' style and preferences. Let's work together creating a truly unforgettable experience for you and your guest.
