Belles and Thistles Floral Design

lways offered exactly what I was looking for. They were so affordable and absolutely killed the design. I tell everyone getting married in the area that they need to use them! I’m also so happy to support them as small business owners. Know that they are the ones you should work with- the will knock any design out of the park!

highly recommend Belles to everyone because of the amazing service and high quality products we received!

incredibly helpful for budgeting. She had some many ideas for small personalization details from painting the aisle runner with a favorite book quote to wrapping up our flowers at the end of the night for guests to take home as favors. Don’t look anywhere else for flowers. Belles and Thistles has you covered!!

asked for someone better. Absolutely amazing work. Very responsive - beautiful quality flowers with amazing floral design. If you are looking for someone please meet with them and see what they offer - you will not be disappointed at all. Thanks so much Jen for making our wedding a dream come true - we are so grateful for everything! Jessica and John Nemec

absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. I received tons of compliments. Since my wedding, I have confidently recommended Belles and Thistles to friends and they have also been absolutely thrilled with their work.

were truly the most beautiful flower arrangements I had ever seen. From start to finish, Emily and Jenn were extremely easy to communicate with. I really did not know what I wanted at the beginning and Emily sent me a bunch of options. Their proposal was the best I have ever seen. They put so much work in from the very beginning and did not disappoint with the final product. I would recommend them for any wedding or any other event that may need flowers. You can tell that they truly love what they are doing and they do an amazing job. I continue to follow their work on social media because I am so impressed with everything that they create. I am hoping to use them again someday for another event.

was convenient for us, which was awesome! We discussed what our vision for the wedding was and shared Pinterest boards to help get a better idea of what we were thinking. Shortly after our meet up we received a document with many different options for bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, cocktail hour foliage/flowers, ceremony foliage/flowers, etc. based on what we had talked about in our meet up. From there it was easy for us to narrow down our options and it was easy to picture what our wedding was going to look like. They really blew us away with how amazing everything looked on the day of the wedding and they helped make the vision for what we wanted our wedding to look like become a reality!

ing as the photos, so be prepared for that. Well I will tell you right now, Belles and Thistles blew all of that advice out of the water and rose above and beyond the challenge. When I first saw the bouquets, they were truly photo perfect and I have never seen such vibrant and beautiful floral arrangements with my own eyes. They were even more than what I could have imagined, including the custom arrangements that they made for the reception out of extra flowers. I was truly blown away by everything they did and so were my guests. My guests could not stop raving about the flowers! No matter who they were, young or old, men or women, everyone was awestruck when they walked into the reception l and I’m still hearing about the flowers to this day. I was even stopped by a woman in the venue who exclaimed “Please can I take a picture of your flowers? That is my dream bouquet!” When I told Belles and Thistles that our wedding theme was Guardians of the Galaxy and that I love bold colors, tropical flowers and exotic presentations, I knew that what I was asking for was not the norm. However, they showed the utmost enthusiasm and even watched the movie just to pick out different colors to use for the floral arrangements. To say they were dedicated to bringing my vision to life is truly an understatement, they were just as passionate as I was. On top of all of this, when we had to make last-minute arrangements to move our ceremony inside, they quickly brought out a birch ceremony arch and made it spectacular. When I was planning with them, they were true professionals and authentic down-to-earth people. They were always trying to make sure we were in our budget while still achieving our vision. They truly wanted us to be happy and I cannot express how happy I am for using their services and the amazing job they did. They made me see how much floral arrangements can truly add to an event, and I will now have to find new excuses to use their incredible floral services again. If you want it done, not just right, but spectacularly…use Belles and Thistles and let them blow your mind.

er was way beyond my wildest dreams and anything pinterest could put together. She was so easy to work with, communicated with me every step of the way, and just exceeded all areas of expectations. We are now about 3 weeks past our wedding and one of the highlights we heard from our guests were now elegant our flowers looked. She and her team put flowers in places that I didn't even think of and it set the scene and ambiance perfectly. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you girls! I wish I could go back and do it all again with you!

iked, Belles & Thistles put together an amazing proposal of different options, prices, and styles to choose from (all of which we could customize). I cannot recommend Belles and Thistles enough! They are so talented, and so incredibly easy to work with!!

working on my proposal. She met with me more than a year before the wedding and had a proposal to me in a google doc within ONE WEEK! I changed my mind about a few things throughout the process including some rental pieces and that was never an issue. When struggling to find things in copper and almost giving up on my copper vision, Emily re-inspired me and offered some great suggestions including wrapping copper wire around my bouquet which turned out absolutely perfect. Pricing was more than fair, paying was easy, and quality was out of this world. I received compliments on the flowers all night from so many of our guests. Thank you so much, ladies! You crushed it :)

y, but the day of was effortless. She delivered exactly what was planned and then some! Cannot thank you ladies enough!!

w boutonniere's looked at the end of the night after all the hugs! They delivered and it was perfect! They take your vision and make it better! They are responsive and receptive to changes - you need flexibility with any vendor and Belles & Thistles go above and beyond! If ever I need flowers in the future - I'm emailing Belles and Thistles - the modern florists with a fresh take!

n mind! They truly made our wedding day special and beautiful and even added in small details I would have never thought of. My wedding boquet was GORGEOUS!! They went above and beyond our expectations! They are so hardworking, kind, and passionate; and truly love creating and transforming spaces! (which is exactly what you need on your wedding day!) I would recommend them to anyone and not think twice about using them again for any other event I may have. Thank you ladies!!!!!

r themselves (which is actually hard to come by from florists!) and left our space spotless. I would highly recommend them and hope to work with them again in the future!

son, she was professional and warm. She took my mish-mash of ideas and came up with a five-page proposal to \narrow down my favorite style of bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces and everything else I could dream of. Jenn was never pushy and kept our budget in mind, promising that she could make small changes to flower choice to help with the bottom line if our guest count stayed high. She also helped reassure me suit colors and linens. Wedding planning makes you worry about the tiniest things. But she was right; the flowers were the finishing touch pulling everything together. I could not believe the number of “bonus” floral pieces in the reception space and nearly started crying at the escort card table alone when I walked in. Totally normal reaction to candles and flowers, right? Last but not least, Jenn found a nearby veterans’ home that was so excited to receive our donated centerpiece flowers and dropped them off the next day. We were so touched by this extra effort and can’t thank Belles & Thistles enough for their hard work. (Replaces my mistake of reviewing our bakery here instead -- feel free to delete that one B&T!)

nd the buttercream frosting and fillings were so creamy and perfectly sweet but not overwhelming. The tasting was a lot of fun. They give you an iPad full of sample designs (which was just fine for our simple idea) or will sketch out something special if you prefer. Then, we got a plate full of small squares of cake flavors and circles of each filling flavor. The set-up let us mix and match and decide on the perfect combination for our cake. The finished product was beautiful, so moist (even two days later) and delivery was smooth. We had our florist add greenery and flowers to the finished cake. My mother-in-law also ordered a groom’s cake, beautifully decorated with the mascot of the groom’s favorite team and other icing decorations, for our rehearsal dinner. Everyone raved about both cakes!

ld work and what wouldn't work. I never felt I had to compromise my vision and it was such a comfort to know she had it handled. Everytime we chatted, Jenn would reiterate what I wanted and she delivered. Her attention to detail is impeccable. If you're looking for collaboration, guidance and great execution/follow-up she's your girl! Thanks Belles & Thistles.

plete with different price points, and pictures for us to see. She truly did an amazing job understanding what we were looking for. I never once was worried about what the arrangements would look like, and the day of my wedding I was blown away by the bouquets and center pieces. They were absolutely beautiful. These ladies were wonderful, easy to work with, and responded so quickly with every question I had. I would 100% recommend them to anyone!

n took these thoughts and made them a reality. She gave me several options and from there, I was able to choose exactly what I wanted. I knew they would do an awesome job and when I saw the bouquets and the reception space, it took my breath away. Simply gorgeous. My now husband saw the space before I did, and said that he was so excited for me to see it because he knew how happy it would make me. So many guests complimented me on my flowers, but I have to give Jenn and team all the credit! She even brought flowers to decorate my cake, and at the end of the night wrapped up flowers for guests to take home. I wish I had another event to plan because I want to work with them again!

. After our initial consultation, Jenn provided a number of examples and ideas to help narrow down what I liked or didn’t like. Jenn was patient, listened to my feedback and came up with additional design ideas until both of us were completely satisfied with the plans. We chose a simple tiered white wedding cake which Jenn then decorated on site after the bakery delivered, it turned out beautifully. Additionally, Jenn delivered fresh greens to my hotel the morning of the wedding for my stylist to incorporate into my hair. I was incredibly impressed with the Belles team and how they go above and beyond in customer service. Also, Jenn took it upon herself to add extra flowers in the bathrooms and pieces to our table settings. I planned the entire wedding myself, it was so sweet to receive these unexpected surprises on my big day. We received numerous compliments from our guests and I could not recommend them higher. My sister is getting married in March and has booked Belles and Thistles, I can’t wait to see what Jenn and Emily come up with for her wedding day!

ul when I was stuck on ideas and went above and beyond what I would have expected! She was affordable and our flowers were beautiful! I would highly recommend Jenn and Belles & Thistles for your Wedding and any other event! You won’t be disappointed!! Thanks for helping to make our Wedding not only beautiful but memorable!!

t, be sure to check out these hard-working ladies!

I dig the weird and asked for kale as well as other strange plants in my bouquets! Not only that, but their facilitation of the donation of my arrangements after the wedding to a veterans' hospital was key in my choosing them for my florist. They took my interests both in flowers and in life and enabled me to truly customize not just the flowers but the whole experience. Their constant communication and clarifications made the process 100x easier. When we met to discuss the final arrangements, the friendliness and professionalism reassured me I had made the best choice. Professional, reasonably priced and friendly, these ladies are more than certainly going to be recommended by me to any bride looking to have the best arrangements around with a smile! I am so grateful they made our day even better, and hope that those reading this will give them a try!

t for me. She knew exactly how to make the picture in my head come to life and every suggestion she had was right on target. Throughout the whole planning process she was easily reached and responsive in a timely manner. More important, the day of the wedding the product turned out exactly as we had discussed. Jenn also undertook the task of decorating our reception space for us and it was beautiful. Of everything at the wedding we got the most compliments about the decor. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and with all her hard work. Inevitably the day of a wedding there will be a few snags in the road, I am happy to say there was not one snafu with the floral aspect. Would most definitely recommend Belles and Thistles, well deserving of the five star rating. I can't say enough good things about them!!!!

ption space looked great. I was in love with our bouquets and all the extra bonus arrangements she included. It was a no brainer hiring Jenn after months of researching florists - I highly recommend Belles and Thistles!

quet. Loved her and will definitely recommend her to others.

uquets to the table arrangements to the ceremony arbor and even our daughter's horse was decorated in such a way that was simply breathtaking. We worked closely with Jenn throughout the entire process and she listened intently and incorporated many of our ideas but we know that the implementation of such a feat is a complete team effort, so well orchestrated and testimony to the both Jenn and Emily and their entire staff. The compliments were endless and I will continue to sing their praises. Margaret

ork. I planned the wedding from a different country and they were really understanding about that and video chatted with me as many times as needed as well as phone calls. Since I could not speak with them before the wedding, they waited until afterwards to check with me and my DH to make sure everything met our expectations. I could not have wished for a better florist!!

y enough to great things and I definitely recommend them to any bride! I am not a huge flower person but I was in love with all my flowers!

that my flowers were beautiful, I have to speak to the person that Jenn is because if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have had pictures of my ceremony. Of course, I had to get married on the first snow fall and on top of that winter storm of the season. My photographer got stuck in traffic and Jenn took it upon herself to stay throughout the ceremony to take pictures for me. It meant the world to my husband and I. I wish I could get married over and over again just to keep getting flowers from her. I cannot recommend Belles and Thistles enough! I'm so lucky to count myself as an official Belles Bride.

amazing reality! Since my husband and I met at the gym, we used a huge metal Rogue squat rig as our ceremony arch. It's not the most elegant piece of equipment, but she turned it into a beautiful and unique work of art! Our bouquets were gorgeous, too, and complimented our wedding colors, dresses, and tuxes so well! Emily and Jenn made extra trips to pick up a personalized kettlebell vase that we had made to use at our reception and to drop off the orchids we ordered to use in our centerpieces a couple days before the wedding. On the day of, they stopped at my moms house to drop off the girls bouquets before heading to the church to set up the large arrangements and pin the boutineers on the guys. SO COMPLETELY ACCOMMODATING! Every request for a change or a last minute addition was accepted without a problem and I couldn't be happier with the way things turned out! Thank you ladies, from the bottom of my heart, for being so sweet, attentive, and downright creative!

ll be realistic about the types of flowers you can get within that budget. What's even better, is that you aren't picking a certain design from a photo book. You walk away knowing your flowers are going to be a unique arrangement that aren't cookie cutter. I can't thank these ladies enough for the amazing job they did!

rences. She was also very flexible when my Mom changed her mind between a wrist and a pin corsage about a million times! We ended up coming in under budget and got more than I expected! She thought to add floral accents to things that I never would have thought to (and to set ups areas that I didn't know I was adding until a few days prior to the reception) and honestly it made a huge positive impact on the overall aesthetics of our reception decorations! She was extremely helpful the day of and was great to work with. I highly recommend her and Belles and Thistles.

uet. i received complements all day!
