Booked Thirsty Flowers for our wedding and it was PERFECT. Gorgeous arrangements. Multiple meetings and phone calls to plan and coordinate. Loved collaborating and trusting them with our wedding flowers.

We used Thirsty Flowers for our wedding and they were phenomenal start to finish! My wife and I met them in person and discussed what we had envisioned, and we were given good suggestions as well. They were communicative through the whole process leading up to the big day, and the flowers, boutonnières, and bud vases arrangements were perfect. And the flowers were so fresh that they lasted 2+ weeks after the ceremony and were sprinkled around our home afterwards! 10/10 would recommend!

Thirsty Flowers is simply AMAZING! From start to finish, they were super friendly, professional, and beyond trustworthy. I counted on them 1000%, and they truly went above and beyo...
nd in every possible way.
They brought my fairy tale wedding to life and made my Beauty and the Beast–inspired vision an absolute reality. Every single detail was breathtaking. The décor was stunning, magical, and perfectly executed. Me and my Husband and all of our guests were completely obsessed with the decorations!
What impressed me even more was how seamless everything felt despite planning long distance, me in San Antonio and them in Virginia. They made the entire process so easy and stress free, and I always felt confident that everything was in the best hands.
Thirsty Flowers is a beautiful, caring family to work with, and their passion truly shows in their work. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Highly, highly recommended!

The arrangements provided to us for our wedding by Kandice and Lillyana were spectacular! Even more than I could have expected. I was not picky with my flowers and really only gave...
them a vague outline but they nailed it. It was also very important to me to have as many local, seasonal flowers as possible and to minimize things like plastic wrappings/etc and they went out of their way to make that happen. Would highly recommend them to anyone in the future.

I can’t say how pleased I was by Lily and her mom. They were able to accommodate me quickly into their schedule for my wedding bouquet. Lily was very thorough in making sure I got ...
exactly what I had envisioned! We sat down for a consultation in the flower shop and I had given her a few reference photos to work off of. She gave me many options of ribbon, execution, possibilities, so many colors/variations of the same flower I didn’t even know existed. They have a wide selection from the wholesalers they use. They sent me updates on the flowers, a mock up bouquet, and once again checked to make sure I was pleased. They were willing to be flexible with changes and requests. It was truly a pleasant experience, I don’t have any complaints for these two. It may be a small shop, but don’t let that create doubt that they are able to do amazing work! I would 100% recommend them and have already done so!
