Bailley did a fabulous job with the flower arrangements for my wedding. Her attention to detail and expertise were astounding, and she made the vision I had a reality. Our arbour flowers were the most beautiful arrangement I have ever seen, and the bouquets and boutonnières were absolutely perfect. She went the extra mile and added to my table centrepieces and reception backdrop with gorgeous faux garlands and flowers, giving my wedding that extra pop. I can’t say enough good things about Bailley, she is truly amazing at what she does!

What an absolutely delightful place. When you first step inside you realize this store is really neat! There’s a slushy machine, a fancy coffee machine, yummy ice cream, pop, chocolate bars, 10 cent candies and also so many other beautiful things like honey, plants, flowers, jewelry, candles, cool stickers, bags, stones and so much more. The store also has a really cool vibe to it and there’s a few places to sit down and enjoy your coffee, inside and out. The owner and her dog are very friendly and very welcoming. When you’re passing through Oliver you must must must must must stop in and check out Gems and Stems, it’s only a few blocks from main Street and well worth your time, parking on the side of the building. 🍭

This place is absolutely adorable. We stopped in here for a coffee one morning and had no idea what a lovely wonderland we were walking into!

The owner Bailley is so delightful and has filled the shop not only with amazing artisan finds like pottery, repurposed bowls and cups with candles etc… but her florist studio! There are gorgeous flowers galore and she works in the back of the shop.

And of course coffee and goodies… ice cream… etc!

While we were there Bailley let me snap some shots of her while at work and honestly this has become a total favorite spot of mine in Oliver!

Bailey is one of the most incredibly talented florists I have had the honour of meeting and I cannot believe that I was lucky enough to have her do the florals for our wedding day this July. Bailey is one of the kindest people I have ever met and she pours her love and passion into her work. Although I had a general idea of what the colour scheme and types of florals would be, nothing could have prepared me for how amazing our wedding florals turned out. Bailey took every single thing that I loved and made it into the most gorgeous final product. Thank you so much Bailey for making my floral dreams come true and then some! If you're getting married or having an event in the Okanagan and need florals, I HIGHLY recommend you go straight to Gems and Stems.

Thank you, Bailley for our dreamy wedding florals! Bailley took in our inspiration and curated a spectacular arrangement of bouquets, boutonnières and stand alone pieces that exceeded every expectation! We loved them so much that we dried some of the pieces. The all natural confetti was a huge treat. Bailley has a lovely demeanour and is very kind to work with. Thanks again, Bailley!

The flowers for my daughter's birthday were absolutely gorgeous! The service is friendly and Bailey was a delight to deal with. Highly recommend!

Very delighted to discover this beautiful shop in Oliver. Florist accommodated a last minute request to create a whimsical arrangement to place in the bridal suite for a wedding. Couldn’t have turned out more beautifully and we stayed for some ice cream too. Will definitely be a family stop now when we are down that way. Thank you!

Bailley absolutely blew me away. My bouquet was stunning, from the colours to the arrangement I couldn't have been happier. She also made our Micheal's bought flowers look incredible on the arbour as she paired in some of her own dried and fresh pieces. We had one small mix up the day before the wedding, but she quickly resolved and made it right. I would highly recommend to anyone in South Okanagan who needs a florist.
