Sixpence Floral Design

WARNING! BAD BAD BAD BUSINESS! STAY AWAY! RUINED WEDDING!
I know it’s long but worth the read if you are considering her for your wedding day.
Don’t make the same mistake I did.
Stella was recommended to me by my wedding planner and I met her at an open house event at Gabriel springs. I had one meeting with her before signing up to use her as my florist for my wedding. She was extremely difficult to communicate with, I had sent her emails and tried calling for over 2 weeks with simple questions that she would not answer. I told my planner that I was going to cancel my services with Stella and she contacted her herself and finally got the communication flowing again. Stella offered to meet with me at her shop so I could see the flowers. Well all she had were some hydrangeas and babies breath for me to see and NO delphiniums which were to be my center pieces. She had some large white roses off to the side I said I wanted in my bouquet and she added them to my invoice. I had a very basic order with pictures provided. Everything was super simple! Only delphiniums and hydrangeas for all the tables inside and I had sent her photos and she had those same photos on the Pinterest board she made. The day of the wedding arrived ¹⁰⁄₀₄ and while my hair was getting done they brought me in my bouquet. First thing I noticed was that there were none of the white roses in it. My MOH took Stella the bouquet and asked her why and she said Stella looked shocked, pulled out her phone to check the invoice then came running into the bridal suite. Stella began to tell me that the white roses were not available and that the ones that had come in were not pretty. My MOH was shaking her head behind her the whole time knowing that this was a lie based on her reaction outside. I walked out to look at the rest of the flowers and began to cry when I saw my centerpieces. And not good tears. They looked like she had driven there with the delphiniums hanging out of her car window. Where there should have been full bunches of 20+ buds, there were bare stems with 4 or 5 dangling unhealthy looking little flowers. Pictures below. Stella started to tell me that she had to go with what she could find (at this point I was not buying her story). I’ve seen better ones sold at HEB. Stella then offered me a full refund for the flowers, she obviously knew she completely failed me. I shook my head and told her to speak to my mom since she was the one that paid. I had less than an hour before walking down the isle and I was in just complete shock and didn’t know what I could do. Walking down the isle I see that the ceremony flowers were wrong as well. She had my bouquet, the center pieces and my ceremony flowers wrong. I told my mom to go ahead and get that refund because this was over the top bad. We emailed Stella with all of the concerns and issues about what happened with my flowers and we heard nothing to back for almost a week, I contacted my planner and she finally got her to respond to us. Stella was very unprofessional and said many untrue and hurtful things in the email. And that she would not me giving any kind of refund even though she had offered it before. She said that she ultimately has the final decision for what flowers will be used. So basically no matter what flowers you want for your wedding, it doesn’t matter because she has the right to change them and do what she sees fit. I’m on the edge of taking her to court over this. I have email proof promising me the flowers I did not receive and witnesses that she offered the refund and photos of the flowers I email her and photos of what I got. No bride should have to deal with this kind of nightmare on her wedding day and if Stella is not professional enough to stand by her word and try to keep future business than this is one that I would never ever put my trust in. Pictures below.

Sixpence created BEAUTIFUL and very UNIQUE flowers for our wedding!
Stella was wonderful to work with and I genuinely felt her excitement about our specific flower needs during the consultation. We wanted something pretty unique and got it! Our wedding was held in an event Hall that was part of a public market. Stella use the public market as inspiration for the floral design. Vegetables and fruit were included in the arrangements, it was beautiful and fun (Just like our wedding).
Thank you Sixpence!

Stella is a genius with flowers. She made did the floral for our Bridal Party and I was in awe when I picked them up. She knew exactly what I wanted and I couldn’t have been more happy. The bouquets were gorgeous. I will definitely use Sixpence again.

Stella is just wonderful — she worked so well with us, we couldn’t have chosen a better florist for our wedding. She was so patient with all of our indecisiveness and truly listened to what our ultimate vision was. Her arrangements were affordable and just stunning. Her incorporation of the shepherd’s hooks, vintage silver plates and antique books tied everything together just perfectly. We recommend Sixpence for any floral needs you may have — I will definitely be using Stella & Sixpence over and over again.

Sixpence Floral Design did the flowers for our recent wedding, and Stella’s work is absolutely glorious! I told her what I was looking for, and she exceeded all of my expectations. Working with Stella was fun and stress-​free, and the flowers were unique yet timeless. I literally cannot recommend her enough.

Stella is an absolute joy to work with. She made the floral process for our wedding so pleasant. I will not be using another florist for events again!
I found Stella on Unilocal after being discouraged from some other vendors… as one would not even return my email after giving my budget and size of wedding. I find this hysterical because I spent twice my budget (my choice and add– on’s because I had a new job :-)) and was happy to spend my time and money with Stella at Sixpence.
Stella met with me and reviewed my dream, size of wedding, showed me her portfolio, and provided me with a quote which was so easy to understand and customize. For example under bouquet she had three size/​price options with very detailed descriptions about the bouquet that I could visualize. She did this for each and every aspect of my floral décor in the wedding. I was able to really customize my florals and they were exquisitely beautiful.
Stella let me use some of her props without a charge which really made everything come together and pop beautifully. She set up early, stayed, and broke down the extra florals at the end of my day. She was sweet, kind, compassionate, and never made me feel like a less than bride for spending only a few thousand instead of tens of thousands of dollars.
My mother in law, who is shall we say tough to please, spoke of nothing else at the wedding except the flowers!
I HIGHLY recommend Stella from Sixpence for your event. She even did my rehearsal dinner florals which were festive and fun-​perfect for our venue!

I highly recommend Sixpence Floral Design. When we arrived at Barr Mansion on the afternoon of my daughter’s wedding, Stella was hanging glass vases of flowers from the large pecan tree next to the house. I will never forget the image of the sunlight reflecting off them during the wedding ceremony. It was stunning. Stella captured everything my daughter envisioned for her wedding. The bouquets, boutonnieres, and nosegays were lovely. I adored the table arrangements cleverly done in birdcages. The centerpieces she provided for the after wedding lunch were a beautiful extension of the wedding. Stella worked within our budget and the results far exceeded our expectations. She is very creative, has a passion for beauty and is a delight to work with.

Stella was amazing to work with! I ended up using Sixpence by chance, my budget for flowers was not a lot but they were important to me so I had originally a bunch of florists with what I wanted and eventually selected a florist off Craigslist just based upon price (bad idea). A couple of weeks before the wedding she cancelled on me stating that she «had family coming into town that weekend». WHAT? Anyways after I freaked out a little bit I started my search for a new florist I had an email from Stella checking in to see if I had yet found a florist. Fate? I think so! But I’m sure Stella thinks she was just doing her job. Anyways I had a vision and Stella hot it for sure. You see I had collected over 100 bottles and jars and wanted a very shabby chic vintage theme. She was able to take my boxes upon boxes of junk and turn them into exactly what I had in mind! The final product was amazing and exactly as I had envisioned. Ok now let’s talk bouquet. I wanted a HUGE bouquet filled with all my favorite flowers not only did Stella deliver my dream she found PEONIES IN JANUARY! As you brides will find in your research peonies are pretty much non-​exsistant in winter. Can you say miracle worker? Ok lastly Stella took my idea for the arch at our ceremony site and really hit the ball out of the park. Very creative! Finally a few tips:
DO get the clean up service! Totally worth the extra. Stella came at the end of the reception and took everything (flowers wise) home with her. It meant two things 1. That my canopy didn’t have to worry about returning stuff to her the next day and 2. I was able to pick up my stuff from her after the honeymoon!
She DOES take credit cards now!
She is very professional and went above and beyond to make our day special! HANDS DOWN OUR BEST VENDOR!
Ladies book her now, because very soon you won’t be able to afford it because she will be so sought after!
