About Us
Welcome to Gathered Stems, a floral couturier based in McLean, Virginia. Our signature botanical designs are inspired by nature, using fresh and dried flowers and greenery. Gathered Stems is a privately owned, small flower business that provides delivery service throughout Northern Virginia. We take great pride in bringing our clients’ visions to life to the surprise and delight of those who receive them. If you do not see your zip code on our website, do not hesitate to call us at 703-556-0001.
As a professional florist for over 30 years, I have learned two things: •No one knows flowers better than Mother Nature and •No one has better ideas than my clients Bringing your ideas to life is an honor, but it is also a tremendous joy! I have been captivated by flowers and floral design since my first job in a flower shop in the early 90’s. When I opened my own business, I found that using art and nature for inspiration provided a unique way to highlight the sensual nature of flowers. By playing up to simple design theory to enhance their textures and colors, I could present flower arrangements in a way that titillates the senses. I approach your flower delivery with creativity and imagination. Through experience and education, I have developed a critical eye and an elegant personal style that can be seen in the simplest bouquet and the most elaborate wedding alter. My favorite projects are the occasions in which I design unique floral arrangements inspired by the personality of the client and which highlight the natural beauty of the flowers selected. There is always an unexpected element, and that is often why my floral arrangements are so delightful. Gathered Stems Floral Couture has been highlighted in several print and digital magazines, but am extremely proud to have been featured several times in Engaged Magazine, a bridal magazine serving the DC Metropolitan area.

|I've worked with Gathered Stems many times over years --most recently on a celebratory arrangement (end of medical treatment) for a loved one as well as a bereavement arrangement, and she's my go-to for Mother's Day flowers as well. Everything is always perfect.
I really appreciated Ashley working with all the constraints (tight timeline, coordinating delivery around their schedule) and how collaborative and kind she is helping us strike the right tones during sensitive times.
Thanks for doing what you do - my family and I have always been such fans!

|loved it. I wished it had had fewer roses and more variety in arrangement, but it was still very nice.

Florist's Response:
Hello Leigh! I appreciate your feedback and your business. The arrangement had that was pictured online had three spray roses and three standard roses in it as well as the arrangement that was delivered in your behalf. Perhaps the spray roses had more blooms per stem then the one pictured on the website. I am sorry this disappointed you.
That arrangement also had every variety of flower that was pictured online. Wax flower, hydrangea,, hypericum berry and lisianthus.
Thank you for the review. If you are ever unsatisfied with something, please give me a call.

|My niece, Claire D., sent me a flower arrangement that your company prepared. I want to let you know that it was absolutely lovely. Really one of the prettiest arrangements I've seen. You did such a wonderful job! I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated it. Thank you!

Florist's Response:
Dear Robert, My heartfelt apology for forgetting the plush animal with the flowers. I am extremely happy your daughter thought the flowers were lovely, however I completely understand how frustrating and disappointing it was for discovering the plush animal was left out. I take full responsibility on this error and I feel terrible this happened. After speaking with you on the phone Saturday morning, I felt so bad I went out and purchased a winter fleece blanket with a matching snowflake throw pillow and a plush Husky for your grand daughter. I know this does not change the fact of my error, but I want to let you know how badly I felt. Please accept my apology and I stride to turn things around in the future if you allow me that chance. Thank you kindly for your previous patronage.
