Meet Karen, your creative Taumarunui florist
Sweet Stems Floral Design is based in Taumarunui, New Zealand. The concept was born during the COVID-19 Lockdown of 2020. I created an Anzac Day wreath with my daughter using garden foliage and a wire coat hanger in memory of my Grandad. I loved making it, as rustic and as wonky as it was, it was special but also fun and it inspired me to tap further into my creative side. Without further ado my planning commenced, my vision grew and then before I knew it my little business went live on the 11th October 2020... just minus the wire coat hanger!
I produce my creations from a little hut at home that I have transformed into a Flower Room. As well as my business I have a part time administration job four days a week, help my husband when need be on our farm and I'm a mother of two xx
What my customers say:
My wedding flowers were better than anything I could have imagined!
All I gave Karen was my colour theme and she worked her magic to produce some stunning arrangements. She went above and beyond including delivering and setting them up in the pouring rain. I continue to get so many compliments about them, and her beautiful flowers almost outshone the bride. I truly cannot recommend Karen enough.

I highly recommend Sweet Stems!
This lovely lady made the most beautiful table piece for my mums memorial. My head was a mess at the time we discussed it but I just told her make it colourful. What turned up was exactly that and I cried as it had so many of mum's favourites which Karen didn't even know! Thank you so much for the awesome work you do. Oh and I highly recommend Sweet Stems!

Lush is an understatement!
Sweet Stems flowers are next level. We have supported this amazing local florist since the beginning, her taste is exquisite and she nails it every time. The flowers I received on my 40th Birthday were like none other. The time, effort and love she puts into every bouquet is above and beyond, even on short notice where she can. She delivers a fantastic assortment of LUSH flowers every time. Myself and my husband absolutely love Sweet Stems!
