Brianne Emhiser, owner and founder of stem & vine, spent her childhood summers in Maine, surrounded by salt air, wildflowers, and long days outdoors. Raised by a mother who loved gardening, she developed an early appreciation for plants and the quiet beauty of the natural world. After studying botany in school, her first step into floral design came when her sister was in need of wedding flowers—a meaningful moment that sparked a lasting passion. Years later, that passion has grown into a dedicated career. Brianne prioritizes sourcing from local flower farmers and is deeply committed to sustainability, honoring seasonal blooms and the land they come from. Each arrangement reflects her connection to nature, nostalgia, and all things local!
