Romantic, Textural Wedding Florals — Designed by Sweet Stems
Whakatāne & Bay of Plenty Wedding Florist Creating Flowers that Tell Your Story
Every wedding I create starts with connection — a chat about you, your day, and how you want it to feel.
Our consultation is where I start piecing together your story through flowers: the colours you’re drawn to, the textures that make you smile, and the mood you want your guests to feel.
Bring along anything that inspires you — photos, fabric swatches, your dress design, or a snippet from your Pinterest board. Together, we’ll shape a floral vision that feels like you.
THE SWEET STEMS WEDDING EXPERIENCE
From the very first conversation to the final placement of your bouquet, my goal is to make your floral journey effortless, inspiring, and deeply personal.
I take on a limited number of weddings each season to ensure every design receives the care and creative energy it deserves. Each couple’s vision is interpreted through romantic, textural florals that celebrate the season and reflect your unique story.
Consultation & Inspiration
We begin with a relaxed chat — in person, over Zoom, or by phone — to explore your ideas, colour palette, and the feeling you want your wedding to have. Bring photos, fabrics, or mood boards if you have them, but if not, I’ll help you find your floral style.
Design & Proposal
Following our consultation, I’ll create a detailed floral proposal and visual inspiration guide. It includes flower selections, design concepts, and pricing options that align with your vision and venue.
Creation & Setup
When your wedding day arrives, I bring everything together — from bouquet to ceremony to reception — with care and intention. Every stem is placed by hand, ensuring your flowers are beautiful, balanced, and perfectly in tune with your day.

Love Notes From My Couples
"Emma did a beautiful job of creating my bridal flowers. I was so impressed at how easy it was to communicate with Emma during the lead up to my big day, she was very responsive and happily tweaked colour choices when I had changed my mind. I was so happy with all of the work Emma did..."
