    Amazing experience!!!

    We could not recommend Willow and Thistle enough to provide the most beautiful flowers for your special day! I worked with Jill and Kim throughout the process and they promised to make our wedding magical and they absolutely did! Our bouquets, boutonnières, center pieces, arch, and additional pieces were all that we imagined and more! Kim and Jill were extremely professional, communicative, and compassionate the entire process. They both offered their advice and expertise and made sure to stay within my budget. When I forgot to add pieces to the contract closer to the wedding, they went out of their way to add these pieces and bring them to life. I was absolutely in love with all of my flowers for our wedding and could not have asked to work with nicer, more professional florists. Both Kim and Jill connected with our family and made us feel special from the moment we met them, through the process, and especially on my wedding day. Kim even brought a bouquet of flowers from my husband and hand delivered them to my room. It was going above and beyond what I could have ever hoped for! If you are looking for beautiful flowers from experts who know the venue, you found the right one! I also rented the gold chairs for my reception and they made it a super smooth process to add them to the contract! Thank you, thank you, thank you for being so incredibly kind to my husband and I as well as my mom through this entire process! We absolutely LOVED working with you!

    Thank you!

    Steve & Jen were fantastic to work with at Willow & Thistle. They worked seamlessly with Normandy Farm and were able to bring our floral vision to life. They are always quick to respond and amazing communicators. Everything was delivered the day of on time and we were so happy with the final outcome! Thank you so much!

    Amazingly beautiful and detailed! Highly recommend!

    Jen, Steve, and the team at Willow And Thistle did an amazing job of making our big day look absolutely stunning. They were so helpful and kind throughout the entire planning process with using the decor that we already had and combining it with their expertise and flowers to share our vision. Every detail was perfect and eloquently captured the aesthetic we were going for. I couldn’t have imagined it being any more beautiful!

    Creative Genius

    Steve was absolutely incredible. My vision was moody autumn florals, and he brought it to life. I told him I wanted my bouquet to be looser, not to prim and circular, and he gave me a gardenesque delight. My vision for the centerpieces I had difficulty articulating; I had brought him glass and velvet pumpkins and essentially just said to throw some flowers around them. Well he took this limited description and made the centerpieces stunning. His office manager Jen was also wonderful to work with, and made the final details meeting a breeze.

    Wonderful Florist!

    We got married on 10/22/21 and used Willow and Thistle as the on site florist at The Belle. They were wonderful! Steve was so responsive, creative and friendly. He was able to stick to our budget and give us beautiful personal flowers, centerpieces and arch decor. Highly recommend!

    Best vendor of the entire wedding

    Willow & Thistle was by far my favorite vendor that we worked with. They were super responsive and incredibly easy to work with. Jen sent me a photo of my bouquet a couple days ahead of time so I could let her know my thoughts and she was able to make a small tweak that made it perfect. I looked up and met with several vendors before selecting a florist and decided on Willow & Thistle based on their price, vision, reviews, and experience. I was thrilled that we were able to rent so many centerpieces like candles, vases, & lanterns— that saved us a bit of money and we weren’t left with items that we wouldn’t use again! I’ve had several friends ask where we got our centerpiece items and who our florist was— I think that says the most about how it all turned out!

    Our flowers

    We hired Willow and thistle for our wedding day flowers. I had a vision and they brought it to life for me. When I walked into our room I was blown away with how beautiful everything looked. My boutique was everything I wanted and more. I would highly recommend them for your wedding day!

    Will add photos of the centerpieces when I get them.

    Amazing to work with

    We used Willow & Thistle for our centerpieces, our ceremony arch floral spray, and boutonnieres. At our appointment went over what we were looking for in our centerpieces and overall look. We ended up with the perfect centerpieces for our wedding.

    We ended up having to change our wedding date twice due to COVID and Willow & Thistle worked with us every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better florist.

    Floral dream come true

    We love Willow & Thistle! Steve held our initial ideas/thoughts conversation, then we worked with Jennifer for the details as we got closer to the day of. They were both prompt with their responses, kind, and incredibly helpful! Jennifer made sure to send pictures of the bouquets over to me a few days prior for approval. They were gorgeous & perfectly captured the garden-esque style I was hoping for. We got 13 adult boutonnières, 8 bridesmaid bouquets, 1 bridal bouquet, 4 wristlets, loose flowers for the cake, petals, flowers for an arch, 9ish centerpieces, & 2 ring bearer boutonnières. They truly made our floral dreams come true!

    Gorgeous florals!

    W&T were fantastic! Steve helped my mom and I at our initial consultation. He helped gear us towards the right flowers for the season and went over various types of center pieces to use based off of my preferences. Jen was amazing and so kind. She was great at communicating with me throughout the whole process and even sent me a "sneak peak' of the bouquets for me and my girls. Customer service was amazing and they really know how to make a wedding come to live. I couldnt have been more impressed. I highly recommend Willow and Thistle if you want a florist who really cares and wants to make your day special

    Above and Beyond

    My wedding was in March 2019. I met with Steve (the owner) for my first consultation. I don't know much about flowers so I had a hard time explaining what I wanted. Steve did his absolute best to show me flowers, describe things, show me photos, etc. He was so timely in sending me a quote and the whole staff was great when I had to reach out to them to make a payment or ask a question. 2 days before the wedding I was in shock when I saw a preview of a bouquet that looked nothing like I envisioned (beautiful, but not my style) and I realized there was a big miscommunication - I don't believe it was W&T/Steve's fault at all, probably more mine for having no clue what I was talking about! The quote DID match the bouquet created perfectly. I explained my misunderstanding and told Steve I understand if no changes could be made that close to the wedding, but I was upset. I didn't expect anything. To my surprise, Steve and his staff recreated ALL of my bouquets and flowers and even texted me photos of every single item for my approval. They were SO wonderful, kind, and triple checked EVERYTHING with me. The day of my wedding, I actually cried because the flowers were exactly what I had pictured!!! I would 100,000,000% use them again for any event, and I highly recommend them. So professional, kind, and flexible. They did so much more than they "had to" for me and that really is appreciated!

    Excellent to work with!

    I cannot say enough good things about Willow & thistle and especially Jen! Jen is incredible! Our original wedding was canceled because of COVID-19 but we wanted to still get married and use W&T for flowers. Jen was so patient with me, flexible, and answered all of my questions. She was able to accommodate every change we needed. I am so appreciative of her professionalism and kindness. Now, the flowers themselves were gorgeous! I absolutely loved the bouquets and cake flowers we received! They held up very well too!

    Amazing florist!

    A friend recommended Willow & Thistle to us and I could not be happier with our choice. Upon meeting Steve for our consultation he immediately listened to our style & vision and did a mock up of the centerpiece right there on the spot. It was perfect!! Willow & Thistle was easy to work with and Jen was super responsive to any questions/changes I had along the way. Our flowers turned out AMAZING and exactly what we had pictured. We cannot thank Willow & Thistle enough for being apart of our special day and making our flowers exactly what we wanted!!! THANK YOU :)

    Picture perfect!

    Willow & Thistle's flowers and centerpieces were everything we wanted. The centerpieces matched our rustic venue perfectly - lanterns, burlap/wood numbers, and tons of greenery! We got a lot of compliments on the seating chart from W&T as well - a large door with names on the windowpanes. We highly recommend them!

    Beautiful Flowers

    Wow! Willow & Thistle really rocked my wedding flowers. They were exactly what I envisioned. We first met with Steve to get an idea price wise and feel out everything. Steve was super friendly and knew the exact vision I was going for. After we met with Steve we worked with Jen through the rest of the process and she was AMAZING. When we met with her my vision changed slightly which was no problem for them at all. I showed Jen a flower I really liked and told her I wanted some eucalyptus and she was able to match other flowers to it to make exactly what I was looking for. Jen was so friendly and you could tell she really knew what she was doing. She would show us the different flowers she was thinking would go with what I had in mind and every flower was spot on. She replyed to all my emails in a timely manner and was able to take and add everything necessary to the contract.

    A few days before the wedding Jen sent over a picture of the flowers and I was in love. I was a little nervous about the size, which I did discuss with Jen, and they were perfect. Day of went really smoothly, flowers were delivered and where they were suppose to be on time.

    The one thing that unfortunately didn't go as planned was the decoration of my sweetheart table. We were suppose to have eucalyptus leaves and a Mr. and Mrs. sign we rented from Willow & Thistle, but unfortunately neither of them were there. Luckily, we moved my cermoney inside and we were able to use some of the decoration from the cermoney at our sweetheart table which worked out really well. I actually didn't notice day of due to the crazy amount of things going on. When I realized the next day, I reached out to Jen and she looked into what happened and offered me a refund immediately. Which was a very professional way to handle the situation and I was very happy with. Like I said I didn't notice day of and was so happy with the rest of the flowers!

    I would reccomend Willow & Thistle to anyone looking for a florist, especially if your wedding is at Normandy Farm. It made it super convenient both of them being right there, considering whenever I was coming for a meeting I was driving 45 mins. I was always able to make the meetings work the same day, so I didn't need to take two trips. It also made me feel more comfortable day of knowing they were right there if I need them!

    The most beautiful florals

    The most beautiful floral arrangements!!! I was so pleased with my arrangement on my wedding day. Steve was great and everything was exactly as we planned. He worked with my budget and had great ideas how to cut costs and make things work. I couldn't be more pleased! Will definitely be recommending their services in the future.

    the most gorgeous wedding flowers

    It was truly a pleasure working with Willow & Thistle for the florals for our wedding. During our initial planning meeting, Steve took what I was trying to say and was able to bring my words to life. We changed the table layout about a month before the wedding and W&T easily adapted and delivered exactly what I wanted! In the days leading up to our wedding, the staff at W&T actually texted me pictures of the bouquets to make sure that they were everything that I wanted. I am still completely in love with my bridal bouquet! The flowers were all fresh and beautifully arranged. I'm still getting compliments on my bouquets and centerpieces!

    The absolute best!

    I cannot express enough how amazing this studio is. I worked with them for about 2 years during my planning process and from start to finish they were so easy to work with. Steve and I initially started the process of going through my colors (I had 8 bridesmaids wearing 8 different colors!) and trying to find the happy medium of floral options that would both stand out but not be overwhelming with all my colors. I have to say, he nailed it! After we went through those general ideas, I was passed along to Jen who seriously held my hand through everything! She was prompt, helpful, and was constantly sending me revised invoices!! Patti handled our day-of floral arrangements and nailed exactly the look we were going for. We also had a sneak peak at our bouquets 2 days before the wedding and I was able to make some small tweaks I wanted, which seriously made me not even have to worry about the day of! I cannot thank them enough for seriously nailing the look I was going for (and pictures to prove it). Thank you!

    Great Florists

    Willow and Thistle was a great florist. Once we met with Steve, we knew we wanted to work with them. They were really understanding of our budget – which wasn’t that high for flowers – and came up with ideas that were both cost-effective and beautiful. They made me a stunning flower crown that needed to be picked up before all the other flowers were delivered, and they were really helpful and understanding in arranging that, even though it was extra work for them. The flowers were, of course, beautiful, and they communicated their plans for our wedding clearly and consistently. Willow and Thistle was easy to work with, honest, and produced exceptional flowers for our wedding. We recommend them highly.

    Flowers beyond my wildest dreams

    Willow and thistle exceeded my expectations! My flowers were phenomenal and pictures don’t even do them justice. The centerpieces were so beautifully done as well. They really brought my vision to life and I could not be more thankful.

    Absolutely Stunning!

    Working with Willow & Thistle was an absolute dream! When we started talking to florists, I had an idea of what I wanted (greenery and candles for a winter wedding) but I wasn't quite able to visualize how it would turn out. In our first meeting, Steve immediately started grabbing similar materials available in the shop and lighting candles on the table to show us how it would look. We immediately knew we could trust Willow & Thistle to make our venue absolutely stunning and they far exceeded our expectations! From the bouquets, to the boutonnieres and moms corsages, all of the personal flowers were absolutely stunning. They even made a flower 'wand' for our 7 year old flower girl that made her feel like one of the big girls and she absolutely loved! The tables were lovely, the sweetheart table was perfectly done and they used the leftover greenery to highlight the mantle. The entire event was absolutely stunning and we truly appreciate all of the hard work that everyone at Willow & Thistle put into our day! Everyone was so easy to work with, friendly, and helpful. I couldn't imagine booking any other florist to bring my wedding vision to life!
