About
More Than Your Florist—Part of Your Team
Stemsbyjen is a wedding florist based in Roselle, Illinois, backed by over 20 years of experience in horticulture and floral design. We take on a limited number of events each season, so every couple receives our full attention from the very first conversation to the final petal placed. With long-standing relationships among trusted growers and wholesalers, each design begins with carefully sourced florals, greenery, and plant materials — because that's where every great arrangement starts. Our approach is personal and collaborative, start to finish. We get to know your vision intimately, offer guidance along the way, and deliver arrangements that elevate every venue.

Jen Poremba
Owner and Lead Designer
My love of horticulture and floral design began with a high school job at a Chicagoland florist. That early experience sparked a passion that led me to pursue a degree in horticulture and spend the next 20+ years working across many facets of the industry.
What I love most about floral design is that it’s always evolving. Every client brings something new to the creative process, and I love seeing flowers through their eyes.
My background in product sourcing has also become an important part of how I approach my work. I love searching out those unexpected, special stems – the gems that bring something distinctive to each client’s event.
And quite simply, flowers make me happy—and I hope that comes through in every event I design and every client I work with.
