About Us

Long Stems is a quaint, authentic flower shop on the Main Line that has been providing the Greater Philadelphia area with exceptional floral design since 1984. As a family business, we pride ourselves on ensuring everything that goes out of our shop was made with care and professionality. We’re all about presentation, and the little details really matter to us. Whether you’re looking for freshly-made vase arrangements or bouquets, vibrant plants of all varieties, artisan gifts and gourmet, a garden layout to brighten up your property, or a professional florist to bring your event to life, Long Stems will design breathtaking work that is sure to make a lasting impression.

Everyone here brings their own unique skills and ideas to the table, working to provide first-rate service for our clients and designing floral pieces that are as creative and original as they are breathtaking. We’re always helping aspiring floral designers improve their techniques, teaching them the ins and outs of the business as they become professional florists.

Fresh flowers in all varieties from all different countries come shipped to us daily, but the blooms grown right here in Pennsylvania are some of the freshest you can get. Picked and delivered in no time, nothing beats farm-to-table-arrangement! That’s why we love taking scenic trips to Lancaster, where the landscape is teeming with some of the most beautiful flower farms you’ll ever see, managed by some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet.

Since we got our start, Long Stems has become a staple in the Philadelphia community, providing top-rated floral designs for some of the most prestigious events in the city. We understand every client’s needs vary based on the unique vision they have for their event, which is why we work our hardest to accomodate any requests they have for us.
