WoodStem Floral & Decor is a woman-owned floral and event design studio based in Winter Park, Colorado, specializing in weddings throughout the mountains. From ski resorts and rustic ranches to intimate elopements and private-home celebrations, WoodStem creates florals that feel at home in Colorado’s spectacular natural surroundings while remaining entirely personal to the couple.
At the helm is owner and lead designer Melanie Rendleman, whose background includes years of corporate event planning in Chicago and Denver before making the move into weddings and floral design. That experience gives WoodStem an understanding of both sides of the equation: creating something beautiful and managing all the logistics required to bring that vision to life.
Rather than working from a standard menu of wedding designs, Melanie begins by getting to know each couple and their individual aesthetic. Floral services can include bouquets and personal flowers, ceremony arrangements, arches and installations, centerpieces and reception décor, with options ranging from florals for intimate celebrations to complete full-service floral design.
Couples looking for additional support can also tap into WoodStem’s event-planning experience. The studio offers wedding-day management, partial planning and full-service planning, as well as access to rental inventory—making it possible to create a cohesive look and experience without coordinating quite so many separate vendors.
And as a Winter Park-based company, WoodStem knows Colorado mountain weddings. Their portfolio includes celebrations at Devil’s Thumb Ranch, Winter Park Resort, Strawberry Creek Ranch, Headwaters Center and other mountain venues, giving the team firsthand experience with the unique logistics that come with getting married at elevation.
Most importantly, inclusivity isn’t left open to interpretation. WoodStem makes its philosophy clear: love deserves to be celebrated, no matter what your wedding looks like or how big it is.
