Lead Florist

Stems and Petals is a floral design studio based in the suburbs of Chicago, creating fresh, natural, and modern floral designs for weddings, events, and community workshops. We believe flowers should feel effortless and expressive, and we love helping people bring their vision to life — whether it’s a dreamy wedding bouquet, a styled installation, or a fun bouquet bar. Every design is crafted with care, creativity, and a love for meaningful moments.

With over four years of experience in the wedding industry as both a lead designer and day-of lead, I bring more than just beautiful florals to your wedding day. I understand timelines, installation flow, photography moments, and how floral design shapes the overall guest experience. This perspective allows me to design with intention, ensuring everything not only looks stunning but also functions seamlessly within your day. The result is peace of mind, a smoother setup, and a thoughtfully coordinated celebration from start to finish.

Best of the Best
Absolutely perfect to every detail! Mackenzie was so patient with us as we came into the wedding planning process with no clear vision in mind. She took the time to send us detailed proposals and had very detailed calls/meetings with us. Our guests were blown away with the beauty of our floral decorations! Mackenzie also went above and beyond to help out with our rehearsal and wedding day festivities. She was there helping us prep for bridal party intros and got our sparkler send off started! Thanks for giving us the best day!

Wedding Flowers
Mackenzie was awesome! She was easy to work with. When you had a question or needed some help she was quick to respond back. She really made my dream come to life with only a few pictures. I will definitely be recommending Stem and Pedals to others. Could not have asked for any better florist. Her prices are very reasonable compared to other Floriest shops I looked at as well.

Highly Recommend!!
Working with Stems and Petals was such a joy from start to finish. Mackenzie communicated with us every step of the way and always got back to us right away, making the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. The bouquets and arrangements she created were absolutely gorgeous- they felt perfectly tailored to us and our wedding day. Her eye for design really stood out, and every piece turned out beautiful. We will certainly be recommending Mackenzie to friends in the future! If you're looking for a florist who delivers both beautiful work and outstanding service, Stems and Petals is the place to go.

Book with them!
Kenzie with stems and petals is amazing. She’s truly the best florist ever. I know nothing about flowers not even names. With very little direction and a few inspo pics she not only nailed she went above and beyond. She was so easy to work with and so fun! Her attention to every single detail was unmatched. She was timely and even my coordinator said how amazing and easy she was to work with. Worth it, get more florals and less decor!! I got so many compliments on the flowers still weeks later.

Great Business
I was so happy with Mackenzie at Stems and Petals. She, as a human, is a wonderful, kind soul and was such a pleasure to work with. My partner and I know nothing about flowers but during our first consultation, Mackenzie asked questions, gave suggestions, and offered a lot of options. I never felt like "just another customer" when I spoke with her and that is not something that you can always find. I asked her about 50 different questions about pricing and she very patiently responded to each of them and adjusted the order accordingly. The flexibility was much appreciated as we figured out what we wanted. In addition to the fantastic customer service, Mackenzie's pricing was phenomenal. I have always heard the horror stories about expensive wedding flowers and I figured that I would have to DIY my florals. After the first consultation, I was so shocked to see such affordable pricing. It was a dream come true because the last think I wanted to do was DIY. She was a godsent and I was so grateful to have such stunning flowers for such a accessible price. Not only was the pricing great, the payment software was clear, easy to understand, and provided payment reminders and receipts. We appreciated the transparency of this! Finally, I wanted to mention the quality of the product. Our bouquets, boutonnieres, and stem vases were beautiful. I was so happy with how she matched my larger teardrop bouquet with my bridesmaids smaller ones. The boutonnieres were perfectly sized and extremely tasteful. Everything really matched the aesthetics of the wedding and brought it all together. Again, I think this is because she asked so many questions along the way. She was so detail orientated, that I felt confident they would be beautiful and they truly were. In addition to this, she also made us a complimentary vase for our photographer to shoot photos of AND a arrangement for our head table. That sort of customer service and care for the customer was fantastic. If I had anything even somewhat negative to say, it is just that the smaller roses were a bit bruised/brown on the tips. After some research, I see that this is pretty normal with white flowers. I quickly pulled off some of the damaged petals and they were good as new! Honestly, I couldn't be happier with the quality of the florals and they were just so gorgeous. Again, I can't recommend Stems and Petals enough. They were a joy to work with, professional throughout, and made our wedding day that much more special. Couldn't ask for a better florist experience.
