Why Stem Story?
The floral industry has faced huge disruption over the past few years: post-brexit, post-pandemic and the rising cost of living, flowers are getting more and more expensive. Flowers, simply put, are a luxury.
Like everyone in today’s society, many people are having to watch their purse strings and not everyone wants, or can, spend thousands of pounds on wedding or events flowers. And yet professional florists have minimum spends they have to uphold due to wholesale minimums, labour and rental costs. So the last thing they can, or should do, is reduce their prices. This is where Stem Story was born.
