Dear Kathy,

They were absolutely perfect!  More beautiful than we ever imagined!  Thank you for putting the time into doing all the pearls and rhinestones in the stephanotis.  They looked great in all our flowers, and on the cake, too!…Thanks again!

M. & E. A.

Bloomery note: We always use some sort of pearl or rhinestone-headed pin to attach the stephanotis blooms to special stems (called Stemson Stems, after the manufacturer).  Stephanotis blooms grow on a vine, and have stems too short to work with in bouquets, so we attach the blooms to a special device which has a long wire stem and a top made of cotton (so the bloom has water on your wedding day).  The pins help hold the blooms onto the stem.  If you’re one of our brides, and using stephanotis in your florals, you can choose from several different colors of rhinestones to accentuate your bouquet.  All this extra work is one reason why stephanotis is one of the more expensive wedding flowers, despite its tiny size.
