Above The Stem

My husband is deployed over seas and uses this service very often. A while back I received flowers that some were wilted. He called and she told him the flowers were meant to look that way. My co-​workers were the ones who noticed the wilted brownish flowers in the bunch.
My husband sent me flowers attached with a card written by the florist. The first sentence read «Wishing You A Great Day !» Then it was crossed out. Above it written in blue ink «Wishing my beautiful wife a wonderful da»
The sloppy written message was not even completed. This was very rude and for me unpleasant to read. I notified the Shop and the owner called back to apologize for the flora it’s mistake.
My husband spent $ 160 on this bouquet and card. This was tasteless and he will never trust them to send me additional bouquets from them in the future.

First of all I spoke with Nitasha from Above The Stem and she was the most helpful and sweetest person! I got exactly what I was looking for and I can’t speak highly enough about the service I received. Let me start my telling you what almost happened when I ordered from a «well known» florist… I was online looking to order flowers for my friend and I was getting ready to place my order I noticed that it went from $ 75.00 to $ 111.00!!! I looked at the charge detail and was being charged for a delivery fee PLUS extra for same day delivery, a card insert fee, a shop fee, a vase service fee and a SALES fee! What in the world?! So I figured out that this was a third party that obviously gets the order and forwards it to a local florist. I decided to do some digging and found wonderful reviews for Above The Stem… no hidden charges, just great service! I am very pleased and will be using Above The Stem for my future flower needs. Nitasha was excellent and has a customer for life! She designed exactly what I had in mind and my friend LOVED the flowers. :-)

I have been going to this florist since Prina and her husband bought it with the original name Conroys. I average an order 3 to 4 times a year just for my business. On a personal need I have used them for all manner of occasion including this year’s RHS homecoming. My family also uses Above The Stem and feels as I do. Their service has always been friendly and professional. They have gone out of their way to always accommodate my special requests and go the extra travel distance for a fair price. I am treated like an old friend the moment I say my name. Most of the associates have helped me at one time or another but I strongly recommend that you speak with Natasha when Prina isn’t available. Natasha’s creations are always just what I pictured and she will go out of her way to send me a photo before my delivery goes out to ensure it is what I asked for, just as Prina does for me. I have never needed to use a different florist for the Inland Empire area. When I have had to go outside of the area I can honestly say that I have never been as pleased as I always am with my home florist. Please consider them for your next occasion.

As we speak, Prerna is spraying my beautiful hydrangeas a lovely soft pink! I await the finished product as I think to myself — how lost would I be without her help and expertise! I’m just a guy looking to get my girl a thoughtful bouquet of her favorite flowers, so of course I appreciate when service at the florist goes above and beyond my expectations.
(Ahh, here she comes with my bouquet!) The hydrangeas are a soft pinkish-​white, offset with three sets of pink spray roses and white Stars of Bethlehem. She adds pieces of black Medolina wood accents, which provide a touch of class. Finally, black mesh wrap to contrast the white, pink and green.
The whole thing comes together as a perfect bouquet, receiving compliments from everyone in the room! A neighboring customer asks, «Are you going to be proposing with that?»
«No!» I say! Haha, too early for that. Though I WILL be asking my girl out tonight. Thank you Prena, and Above The Stem, for your excellent service and absolute perfection!
I’ll be back ;D

We used Above the Stem for all of our wedding flower needs. Prena is so awesome! She really knows her stuff! She kept in good contact with me throughout the whole process, met with me multiple times to go over everything, she even met me early in the morning because of my work schedule and had a coffee waiting for me when I arrived. Our arrangements were so beautiful and they were delivered to our venue on schedule. Everything was above my expectations! Thank you Prena and everyone else at Above the Stem for such a pleasant experience!

Worst service from the most argumentative women! Papers everywhere couldn’t even find my order!!! Messy place and corsage looked awful all brown and wilted then she wants to get all crazy with me slamming doors and being extremely nasty! I asked for a discount she refused so I asked for a refund and she stood there and said I’ll do it. The other customer left because she was so hateful!!!

First off, Everything I asked for was not a problem. I wanted to send my wife flowers at work and they went above and beyond from what I expected. The price was very reasonable for what I want. The best florist shop in Redlands by far. U ask, u get!
Thanks Above the stem

They kind of remind me of grocery store flowers :(And they were somewhat squished from being delivered. Just glad I’m not the one who had to pay for them.

So glad I found this flower shop. Great staff; creative and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Choosing above the stem floral studio was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. The owner and staff were such a pleasure to work with every step of the way! Prena is up to date on trending styles, she worked with me in keeping my vision while staying within in my budget, always kept in contact when I had questions, promptly returning calls and emails. She is passionate about her work, and most definitely not in it to just make money. She was always helping me find the best deals on other items needed. My floral crown was stunning, our centerpieces were exactly what I had envisioned and our bouquets were gorgeous. The delivery was on time and professional. I had a very minor set back on the day of my wedding with my floral crown while getting ready. I gave them a call and they had someone sent to my hotel within 30minutes to bring me another flower for my crown with a completely pleasant attitude to help me. I can’t wait to get our pictures back to share them. I don’t normally take the time to write reviews, but this was a very special occasion and they exceeded my expectations and deserve this review. I would highly recommend using this floral studio for any special occasion, they are amazing!!!

Iv’e used Above the stem for several occasions. One, a good friend had hip replacement surgery and the other, a close friend was in a car accident. Both floral arrangements were simply gorgeous. They lived longer than I truly expected them too, and were fragrant the entire time. And the best of all, The owner delivered them in her own car after hours too!!!
It’s not everyday you get such personal service, especially from the owner. I called the next day to thank her and she was very warm and genuine.

I went into the shop for flowers. Walked out with art!
My wife loves case blanca lilies, so that’s what I requested, but fresh ones were due in next day. In the meantime, Prerna introduced me to ‘tube roses’. I decided to wait and I’m glad I did. The tube roses smell amazing and the overall arrangement is gorgeous (photo: Casa Blanca Lilly arrangement).

I’m writing this for my father who wanted to leave a review, but doesn’t have a Unilocal account.
My dad receives medical care (being generous using ‘care,’ here) at the Loma Linda VA. There are a lot of employees who hate their job, hate the patients, or both. BUT, occasionally there will be someone who will go out of their way to help him and ensure he’s treated with compassion and respect. My dad often writes letters of appreciation to supervisors, etc. but will also bring flowers or a small plant as a ‘thank you’ to those individuals that really stand out.
So, what do you do when you want to show your gratitude to the business that helps you show your gratitude? Leave a Unilocal review!
My dad has nothing but nice things to say about this place and the folks that work there. He’s consistently impressed by how thoughtful the employees are and how they always manage to find something memorable. The flowers and plants are always beautiful and the prices are very reasonable. One of the ladies there, Prerna, even asked my dad to call there if they could help him out with anything while his back is broken! Absolutely outstanding people and service.
I called the VA a couple of weeks ago to make an appointment for my dad. The operator asked for his name and she knew who he was, instantly: «I remember your father! He gave me that beautiful plant! I love it!»
I live almost an hour away right now, but the next time I need flowers or a similar gift, I will go out of my way to make sure I get it from Above The Stem.

I recently had my wedding, so I choose above the stem to do my flowers. All the employees were super helpful, accommodating and friendly. Prerna helped us with everything and help me to get a better idea of things. She did a great job and I’m so thankful my flowers looked great. So thank you guys so much! :)

The two ladies that work at ABOVE THE STEM were very friendly and helpful. I went in looking for flowers for my date and they helped me put together a very special assortment. THANK YOU! AND YES,
I will return.

On April 7^th I accompanied my grandson to this florist to order a corsage for his prom today, April 18^th. We took in a picture. He prepaid $ 30 and scheduled pick up for this morning. Flowers were to be purple. His first prom! Numerous times I heard the staff reassure him by saying «don’t worry we do this all the time». He gets a call Thursday the 16^th and is told by the florist they couldn’t get purple flowers! but they would give im a orchid and not charge extra. SERIOUSLY! Well professionals he didn’t order a orchid so why would you charge him? You couldn’t get purple flowers. I was at the LA floral mart 4 weeks ago and I never saw a shortage. Somebody dropped the ball and had the nerve to keep the $ 30 and not supply what was paid for. My grandson attends REV. All I can say is thanks for nothing and buyer beware!

I got a small bouquet for my mothers birthday and I just love this place. Beautiful flowers and the attendants put together beautiful bouquets. There wasn’t as big of a selection as I wanted, but I did go right after Easter. Almost a week later and the flowers still look and smell great!

Absolutely love this place for their impeccable service. My fiancé has no joke ordered me flowers from here about 25 times. My arrangements are always so beautifully done & I never get tired of them. Plus, the flowers always last me about 1 & ½ weeks.

Above the Stem is by far my favorite flower shop in the area. I’ve been going to them a little over a year now and have nothing but positive remarks. The staff here are very helpful and friendly and have tremendous insight on all of their flowers. They always greet me with a smile and offer their assistance as soon as I enter the door. They have a vast and unique selection of flowers, which are always fresh with affordable. My wife and I recently got married, and when we were in need of some last minute bouquets and boutonnières they were able to help us. The florists here are eager to give me helpful tips to conserve and prolong the life of my flowers every time I come in. I’ve learned so much since coming here, and would not go back to any other flower shop.

Prerna and everyone at Above the Stem were just amazing when they designed the succulent pieces for my wedding this year! My bridal and bridesmaid bouquets were gorgeous and sturdy and so unique! Prerna also ordered our cactus and succulents for our centerpieces and favors which we put together ourselves at home. So many different species made for an amazing look for our desert wedding! Will definitely be recommending Above The Stem to anyone who asks! Thank you Prerna!
