About Dancing Stems Design

Located in Brooklyn, NY and serving Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and the greater NYC area, Dancing Stems Design creates full-service floral decor and fully custom designs for weddings and events. With a sculptural, organic, effortless, and artful style, this team brings each vision to life through color, texture, and movement, ensuring every celebration feels unmistakably personal. The aesthetic draws inspiration from natural landscapes, favoring seasonal, textural blooms over anything overly formal or formulaic.

Owner Holly Warner has a deep love of nature and is committed to sustainable, eco-friendly practices in every arrangement, sourcing seasonal and local blooms first, composting, and using foam-free, reusable mechanics rather than single-use materials. Every design is fully custom, with no preset packages, so blooms are chosen specifically to match each couple's taste and wedding style, from ceremony arches and aisle installations to reception centerpieces, hanging florals, and draping.

Dancing Stems Design has designed weddings at some of New York City's most sought-after venues, including Brooklyn Botanic Garden, The Boathouse, Brooklyn Winery, The William Vale, River Cafe, Rule of Thirds and The Foundry. Whether the setting is an industrial warehouse, a lush garden, or a riverside dining room, each design is built around the venue's own character rather than a one-size-fits-all aesthetic, and the team is equally comfortable adapting to a brand-new space they haven't worked in before.

The process begins with an inquiry detailing your vision, venue, and inspiration. You'll receive a custom proposal with mood boards and seasonal recommendations, followed by a video consultation to review everything together. A 50% deposit secures your date, and colors, scope, and budget can be revised at any point along the way, with the remaining balance due two weeks before the event. Because Dancing Stems Design takes on just one event per day, most couples book six to twelve months ahead, especially during peak wedding season from May through October, though inquiries at any stage of planning are always welcome.

Beyond weddings, Dancing Stems Design also designs florals for corporate events and intimate celebrations, from product launches and galas to engagement parties and elopements, and takes on just one event per day so nothing about your celebration gets less than full attention. Full-service investment starts at $5,000, with a la carte options starting at $1,000 for smaller gatherings, and larger statement installations available for couples looking to go bigger.
