About Stem & Petal

Rooted in purpose, grown through passion.

Stem & Petal was born during the quiet of the pandemic — a time when creativity became my refuge and flowers became my healing. What began as a personal outlet soon blossomed into a full-service floral design studio in 2021, dedicated to creating intentional, story-driven arrangements for weddings, events, and installations.

At Stem & Petal, no two designs are ever the same. Every arrangement begins with a question — why. Why this celebration, why this moment, why these people? I believe that florals should do more than decorate a space; they should capture the spirit and story behind it. Whether it’s a wedding rooted in a couple’s love story or an event celebrating purpose and progress, each design is crafted to reflect meaning and emotion.

My work is personal because people are at the heart of it. Through flowers, I aim to leave others better than I found them — whether that’s through thoughtfully curated designs for clients or through my “Give Them Their Flowers” campaign and ongoing pro bono floral services for nonprofits. These initiatives are my way of honoring community, joy, and recognition in living color.

Stem & Petal is more than a floral design company — it’s a movement of gratitude, beauty, and connection. Every petal tells a story, and I’m honored to help tell yours.

— Alana Bufford, CEO & Lead Designer
