Kelly did an amazing job for our baby shower! I really wanted colorful orange, yellow, and pink blooms, but my mother and I are both sensitive to fragrance. Kelly worked with me to identify non fragrant blooms and made a sample bouquet for me to take home and smell before our event. She went above and beyond and it meant so much! The bouquets for our tables turned out beautifully and everyone complimented them. She also did a fantastic job with the floral arch and floral jewelry I requested for the Hindu rituals my mother in law performed. I highly recommend her!!!
Kelly made our wedding more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! It was so easy working with Kelly throughout the planning process. At our initial meeting, she asked lots of thoughtful questions to get a sense of what what we were envisioning and then put together a vision board the next day. She was always quick to respond to our questions, update our order when we were being indecisive, and provide suggestions/expertise. Kelly is also an incredibly friendly and kind-hearted person.
Everything went smoothly on the wedding day, and we were literally in awe of how beautiful she made the venue look. We can't recommend her enough!
To my favorite vendor, Kelly - you were absolutely the best to work with. Your sweet personality was what instantly made me want to work with you from our first call. After booking with you, you continued to be sweet, knowledgeable, considerate of my budget, and everything else you could want in a vendor all throughout my floral journey. All the floral arrangements that you put together from my bouquet, to the arch, to the centerpieces - I loved it all and they were really what brought the wedding together. My wedding venue coordinator came up to me later in the evening and wanted to know the name of your business because she loved you so much too! Thank you for being such a pleasure to work with!!! HIGHLY recommend!
I could not have asked for a better person to execute my vision for my wedding! Kelly was amazing to work with from the start, and I was so impressed when I finally saw it all come to life. I knew from the first time I saw her work that I would be at ease during the entire process. Do not hesitate to use Kelly and her team at Thistle & Blooms - she is simply incredible!
If you are looking for an incredibly talented artist to work with you on your floral design--look no further than Kelly and her team at Thistle and Blooms. Kelly was so incredible in working with us for 2.5 years as we had to postpone our wedding multiple times due to covid.
I didn't have much of an idea of what I wanted for our vineyard wedding, and I'm so glad to have had Kelly's guidance and suggestions as we built the vision for our florals together. The end result was so incredibly beautiful and exactly our personality. Kelly is quick to respond, so easy to talk to, and really has a passion for weddings and her art--and it comes through in her installations.
I can't recommend hiring Kelly enough--we got so many compliments on our florals and it seriously elevated the whole wedding! Thanks so much Thistle and Blooms!
Kelly with Thistle & Blooms was hands down my favorite vendor! I was on a mission to have Luxury floral but was desperate to stick to our budget! Kelly was patient, kind and went above and beyond to give me my dream floral all within what we wanted to spend and I can’t thank her enough! Everyone raved about the flowers - people couldn’t believe they were real! Kelly was super responsive / excellent communication! I would hire her again and again! Thank you so much for everything ! XO The Hendrickson’s
Kelly is the BEST in the industry! She made my vision come alive! I. love. flowers. so I wanted the best of the best for my special day. Well, Kelly gave me that and I received SO many compliments about my bouquet along with my bridesmaids bouquets, the centerpieces, the fireplace décor and head table.
Overall, Kelly is friendly, kind, organized, efficient, attentive and most importantly so detailed in her work and knows flowers! I can’t say enough great things about Thistle and Bloom. I would highly recommend them to any brides! Thanks again, Kelly!
Kelly is AMAZING. I was so obsessed with our flowers I can't even tell you. Everyone commented on them and how beautiful they were as well. Kelly and her team come and set everything up so flawlessly I didn't even know they were there! She made my vision come to life and even made us our very own private Pinterest board to pin ideas to! I can't recommend her enough!
Thistle & Blooms was fantastic to work with. They went above and beyond our expectations. Everything they did was legitimately floral magic! We discussed design inspirations and they gave wonderful recommendations on how we could maximize our floral for the day. They executed the day flawlessly and we couldn't be happier!
It is difficult to even know where to start. Kelly was absolutely amazing! I couldn't have been happier and she was such a joy to work with from the very first phone call. I didn't have a great vision or know how to go about expressing what I wanted from my flowers and she guided me through the entire process. She created beautiful bouquets, ceremony/reception flowers, and aisle decor and not to mention how adorable my flower girls were in their flower crowns! Everything came together so nicely and was more beautiful than I could imagine. Kelly also made an already busy day flow even more smoothly. She delivered and set up on time and seamlessly! Kelly is super sweet and completely eliminated any stress I would have had. I would highly recommend Thistle & Blooms to any bride!!
T&B's flowers turned our venue into the wedding of our dreams. Kelly and Brian have an eye for amazing design and a mind for creative ideas and solutions. We had them make our bouquets, install a beam above our head table, decorate our wood backdrop, signs, and seating arrangement board. We were so blown away by everything they did; walking into the venue after the had decorated it was like seeing an entirely new space! They were timely, professional, and most importantly a joy to work with in one the most stressful seasons of our lives - honestly a total breath of fresh air to collaborate with and we can't recommend them enough. We are so grateful to Thistle and Bloom for making our special day extra beautiful!
Kelly at Thistle and Blooms was amazing to work with! She made our flower vision come to life with her expertise. In addition to her floral talents she was extremely professional and a joy to work with. We would highly recommend Thistle and Blooms for any wedding and/or event. Thank you again, Kelly and team! :)
Kelly was amazing. From our very first call, she catered to my personal wedding dreams and made the whole experience enjoyable. She was super flexible in meeting and finalizing everything, giving us time to decide exactly what we wanted. I completely trusted her with the final product and our bouquets were INCREDIBLE. She made my description of all our floral come to life, creating an even better final product than what I'd described. She made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable, and was so wonderful to work with. Would recommend her for all your wedding floral!!!
I LOVED working with Kelly on the floral design for our June wedding!! Kelly was such a pleasure to work with and was so patient with me! On the wedding day, I was obsessed with all of the floral arrangements! She also made a stunning greenery hanging arrangement above our headtable that was breathtaking :) Thank you Kelly!!
Kelly was AMAZING!!!! So lucky we found her!!!! She was so fun to meet and work with! She made the process so easy and fun!!! She matched our vision perfectly!!!! Our flowers were gorgeous!!!! She was also very flexible and made our big day so stress free!
Kelly made all of my floral dreams come true! The bouquets and venue was absolutely STUNNING with all of her arrangements. Kelly is a joy to work with, a sweetheart and truly cares about bringing a bride's vision to life. She was timely in answering my questions or any adjustments that needed to be made. She is amazingly talented and I was obsessed with the florals all day! Highly recommend to any bride.
Simply put, do not look anywhere else for your flowers. Not only is Kelly extremely talented and creative, but also kind and funny. I can't help but smile when I think of her walking into the bridal suite, giving me a huge hug and congratulating me. She was receptive to all my thoughts and ideas and I let her do whatever she needed to bring it to life! She exceeded my expectations. Brides, trust me.
I just adore her!
Only 5 stars? I wish I could leave 10 stars. Good news, you can stop looking for floral vendors. Thistle and Blooms is the best; it's your home; it's your goal; it's your dream.
Think of it as planning your wedding with your best friend. Not only did Kelly exceed our expectations, but h
er service and genuine enthusiasm set the bar to a whole 'nuther level. The best yet. Need more info, I am at ready - call me for more detail! 651-337-0425. The mother-of-the-bride! Debra
Kelly was a fantastic florist, and I highly recommend Thistle and Blooms. When Kelly and I spoke at the beginning of the planning process, she understood the vision I was going for and made it better than I even imagined, creating the perfect arrangements for the wedding day. Kelly made great use of the spaces in our venue, with the various arrangements looking cohesive and ethereal. Throughout the process, Kelly was also very responsive whenever I had questions or wanted to make adjustments. Ultimately, I could relax knowing that I could trust Kelly to create stunning florals.
Soooooo happy I hired Kelly for my wedding flowers. She easily took my Pinterest photos and vague explanations of what I wanted and gave me exactly what I envisioned my wedding looking like. I was OBSESSED with our head table! She's also pretty much the nicest person ever so it was super enjoyable working with her :)
Words really cannot describe how amazing Kelly is! She is so fun and easy to work with! She really makes you feel comfortable and like an old friend. She listened to what we wanted and created more than we imagined! Okay, now onto her talented side- the flowers that she created were breathtaking! I received so many compliments on the bouquets, the centerpieces, and my hair piece (which was BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT!) Her flowers really are Pintrest worthy! I wouldn't only recommend her to my friends and family, I would make it a requirement! ;)
Kelly was an absolute joy to work with. Not only will she feel like a new best friend from your first phone call/meeting, she's extremely professional. Kelly always responded to my emails and phone calls in a timely manner, was flexible, generous and VERY VERY good at what she does. Seriously, this woman's work is incredible! I just adored Kelly's organic, fresh, and ethereal style- it was exactly what I was looking for. I never once had to worry that Kelly didn't understand or see eye-to-eye with vision and she proved me right on our wedding day! I was literally brought to tears (of joy!!) when Kelly brought me my bouquet- seriously the most beautiful bouquet I've ever seen (even my photographer said so, and trust me, she's seen a lot of gorgeous bouquets). All of the florals at our wedding were an absolute dream and I cannot thank Kelly enough for sharing all her talent and hard work with us on our wedding day!
It was such a treat to work with Kelly on our wedding floral! She is organized, prompt, flexible, and incredibly creative. We love her whimsical, romantic, and organic style--it was perfect for our day. We would highly recommend Kelly!!
Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Kelly. This girl is extremely organized, talented and very personable. You can rely on Kelly. Never once in the wedding planning did I have to worry about whether or not Kelly understood my wedding vision. I knew she could make it happen AND help me achieve it while staying within my budget :) Thank you, Kelly for being so amazing!
I highly recommend Kelly! She is such a sweetheart, and an absolute joy to work with. She promptly responded to all of my emails, and her bouquet design exceeded all of my expectations! If you're looking for gorgeous flowers, and a stress free floral experience, choose Thistle & Blooms!
Kelly was a JOY to work with. I was first drawn to her organic and natural style but was hooked when I realized her creativity. I showed her a few pictures of my overall vision and she was able to bring it to life while offering suggestions and alternatives along the way. She was conscious of my budget, flexible when I wanted to add or change things, and so, so knowledgable of flowers, decor, and weddings. Our wedding was beautiful because of Kelly and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous florist.
Kelly is the sweetest. I have never had so much confidence & peace. I knew she would pull everything together from our meeting. I never imagined what I got, it was so beautiful, original, organic, and elegant. Our day was romantic and whimsical, full of floral and love! Thank you thistle&blooms!
Working with Kelly was an absolute dream!!! She was incredibly responsive anytime I had a question or concern she would get back to me quickly with an answer and she made me feel so at ease during the whole planning process.
I loved my flowers, they were more beautiful than I ever imagined the could be. Not only is Kelly extremely talented but she is a genuine and kind person who is passionate about what she does. I never felt like just a client to her I felt like a long time friend. She is such a joy to be around I had so much fun at our meetings. I am so thankful that she was such a large part of my wedding day!
My wedding was just a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't ask for more beautiful flowers!!! I honestly feel so blessed to have found Kelly. Without her talent I don't think my wedding would have been what I dreamt of. She made my vision real and most importantly kept me within my budget. I literally started crying when I saw my flowers because she went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you Thistle and Blooms for making my dream wedding come to life!
Kelly was the absolute BEST! From our initial conversation, I knew that I wanted to work with her. She was extremely friendly, helpful and considerate of our budget. When we saw everything come together on our wedding day, we were completely speechless! Everything from the bouquets to the centerpieces was just perfect. We received numerous compliments from both our wedding guests and our other vendors/photographers! I would definitely recommend Thistle & Blooms to anyone who asks!
Loved working with Kelly on our flower decor for the wedding! The decorations, center pieces and bouquets were beautiful. She did a great job capturing my vision and executing.
Kelly is THE BEST in the business and an amazing person. Her flower arrangements speak for themselves, but she stands out because of her fun energy, professionalism, and willingness to accommodate any request. I was absolutely obsessed with my flowers! And we received so many compliments from our guests on my flower crown, the table arrangements, bouquets, flower arrangements for the cross, etc. She thinks of everything and is such a joy to work with. Would recommend her 100 times over to anyone looking for a flexible, fun to work with, professional florist.
We could not have been happier with our flowers for our wedding in May. Kelly went above and beyond and had such an amazing vision for our day. Not only is she incredibly talented, but SO great to work with. After our very first meeting, it was like chatting with an old friend. Highly recommend!
Kelly was an absolute dream to work with. She understood exactly what I wanted and made it happen without question. Nothing was too big of a challenge for her. We had a rustic barn wedding, so I wanted lots of greenery, wildflowers and herbs in our floral arrangements. I had a flower crown for myself, floral hair pieces for my bridesmaids, flowers on the chuppah we stood in front of during the ceremony, a long eucalyptus vine for the head table, and loads of other gorgeous arrangements. Kelly helped conserve flowers by using our bouquets as centre pieces during dinner. Everything was done splendidly - and she was able to bring a lot more elegance to the old barn. I highly recommend Thistle and Blooms! And I also recommend paying the extra 'take down' fee so you don't have to worry about removing all the flowers at the end of the night or returning vases.
Kelly was such a privilege to work with. From our first meeting over the phone I felt so comfortable with Kelly. She is so easy to talk to and she really understood exactly what look we were going for. She had me send her a Pinterest board to get an idea of what my taste was and from there she was able to pull a beautiful color scheme and floral designs. She made us an outstanding white rose and luscious green floral piece for the arbor at our ceremony, gorgeous pew arrangements that we reused as center pieces for the reception, single stem peony cocktail table center pieces, cake flowers, bouquets for all of the bridesmaids, mothers, and godmothers. My flower girls, junior bridesmaids and myself wore the most beautiful flower crowns that were made so well and with the perfect flowers. She did so many other things as well, I could really go on about how she made my dreams come true. I will recommend her to everyone I meet that is getting married. I cannot wait to see pictures!
I hardly ever write reviews but Thistle and Blooms deserves it. Kelly is truly the best in the business. When I booked her I was still 18 months out from our wedding next July and she has been nothing but responsive, flexible, and honestly just amazing. I asked her about doing a hanging centerpiece and she went as far as pricing out install with different companies for me. If you need a florist, look no further. She will go above and beyond. I'm so pleased. We will absolutely be using her again when my sister gets married next year. I cannot speak highly enough about her.
Thistle and Blooms is AMAZING! Kelly is so wonderful to work with and she makes picking out flowers so fun! The moment I met her I knew I wanted her as my florist (and I looked at a ton of florists). She always seemed just as excited about my wedding as I did and it made me feel so thankful to have her. The moment I shared with her my floral vision, she said "I know exactly what to do" and when she sent over the proposal with the flowers she chose, they sounded perfect. Kelly is so easy and helpful to work with and very trustworthy. She would suggest alternative options of where to cut certain things to make sure we could fit in all the flowers that were most important to me into my budget. She made the process go so smoothly and always got back to my emails quickly. Beyond her being easy and fun to work with, she’s an amazing florist! I knew the flowers were going to be beautiful just from the way she explained them and her previous work, but I was blown away the moment I saw them on my wedding day! They were BEYOND PERFECT! They were exactly what I was hoping for and more. I was absolutely obsessed with them and received so many compliments on how gorgeous my flowers were. I would recommend Thistle and Blooms for any event – I promise you, you won’t be disappointed!
Kelly was amazing to work with! Her eye for your vision in an artistic sense is spot on! I just love her style and she made my vision happen, it made our day truly amazing! I can't count how many times I was asked about who did our flowers. I'm still being asked! I can't say enough about Thistle and blooms I'd recommend them whenever I get the opportunity! Thanks Kelly for making our day so beautiful! The overhead arrangement was loved by everyone!
Kelly is amazing! From the moment I met with her she put me at ease. She knows so much about flowers and you can tell is passionate about her job and celebrating people. Her work is amazing and she makes it so easy for you. She has a lot of vases and candle votives and other props for you to use which made planning and choosing the décor so much easier than buying/renting things through other vendors. Thistle and Blooms does amazing work for a great price. If anyone is looking for a florist she is wonderful!
Thistle and Blooms is beyond incredible. Kelly is a mighty talented florist and there is not a shadow of a doubt that she loves working with flowers along with celebrating people. She has found her true strength and it's so wonderful to see someone love their job as deeply as Kelly does.
Our wedding guests were truly astonished and couldn't stop raving about how beautiful everything looked from the archway to the bouquets to the centerpieces. Prior to the start of the wedding, Kelly pinned on my flower crown and it just completed the whole look - there was not a dry eye in the bridal suite!
In the months of getting our wedding logistics together, working with Kelly was the best experience out of all the other elements to wedding planning. I simply told her our wedding colors and she completely nailed the design from start to finish.
In all sincerity, there is not one thing I would have changed about the turnout of our big day. We are so excited that her flowers will be showcased in every single one of our wedding photos.
Kelly was such a DREAM that our venue wanted to hire her as a preferred vendor!
I would recommend Thistle and Blooms ten times over!
Kelly was so sweet and wonderful to work with. We spoke on the phone a few times and I sent her some inspiration/ideas from Pinterest, and she was able to take that and transform it into something beautiful. The bouquets were lovely and the ceremony decor was perfect- simple arrangements that complimented the beautiful outdoor space perfectly. The table arrangements were beautiful. Again, she was able to take my vision and execute it perfectly. Whenever we spoke she made me feel like her only priority and that she was truly excited to be involved in our day. My only regret is not getting my bouquet preserved after the ceremony so I could continue to enjoy the gorgeous flowers!
From the very first moment I sat with Kelly to discuss the possibility of her being my florist, I was blown away. She was so personable and genuine. She reassured me she would do everything to make my wedding dreams come to life and she did.
She was incredibly easy to work with, always being available for any kind of questions or concerns I had. Any budget concerns I had, she worked with me, offering to swap flowers in and out to reduce my price.
I fell in love with her work after seeing my bridal bouquet -- gorgeous! And then I saw my venue on the wedding day... I was speechless. All of the visions I had, had come to life. The bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, archway, and centerpieces were stunning. People continually commented on the beauty and unique look of the flowers.
Kelly was a joy to work with and I would suggest any bride to work with her. I couldn't have had my dream wedding without the beautiful workmanship of Thistle & Blooms!
Kelly with Thistle and Blooms is so incredibly sweet and professional! We spoke over the phone a few times about the look I was going for for my wedding flowers and she had a great idea of sending her my Pinterest board of flowers that I liked. I was a little nervous that they may not turn out how I had envisioned purely because we were not able to meet. Her contract was very detailed, naming the kinda of blooms she would be using. A week before the wedding she allowed me to add a few stems with no problem. When she arrived on time to deliver all of the flowers, she brought extra!!!!!! I was floored. My wedding bouquets were stunning. Absolutely gorgeous and perfectly in line with the look I was hoping to achieve. I would hire Thistle and Blooms in a heartbeat and would recommend Kelly to anyone!
It was a pleasure working with Thistle and Blooms. They went above and beyond what I asked for. Their design and creativity helped make my wedding flowers one of a kind.
Kelly with Thistle & Blooms is an angel! She went over & beyond for our wedding making my only daughter's day incredibly gorgeous & extra special. Kelly was creative, affordable & continually added "extras" just because she is a precious, servant hearted person. The day of the wedding Kelly added special touches all around our venue to areas that she didn't even need to. She is someone that my daughter & I can't wait to tell Austin, Texas about the GREATEST FLORIST in Central Texas & that is THISTLE & BLOOM!
I can't say enough good things about Thistle and Blooms - great communication, easy to work with, and so talented. I pulled together a few inspirational photos, and Kelly and I worked together to figure out what would look best with my dress.
I wanted a wild/lush mix of flowers and greenery, and she nailed it! We got the most beautiful bouquet and boutonniere.
I wish I could wake up to those flowers every day!
Kelly is so great to work with. She's easy going, professional, and prompt. She did a great job replicating an arrangement I loved on Pinterest. There was a possibility that my flowers would have to be subsistuted with others because they weren't in season. However, she managed to get them for my wedding. They were beautiful! Job well done!
Kelly is an amazing designer and totally read my heart through my pinterest board. From our first meeting when we went over every flower on my vision board - she picked out the exact trend I was looking for.
We ran into some last minute add ons and it was so easy and Kelly was so accommodating.
I could NOT believe my eyes when she brought in my bouquets for the day of and it got even better as I saw the ceremony site and reception room!
Re-living our wedding through our photos and getting to really see all the details was so fun and I wanted to hug Kelly all over again!
I was so overwhelmed with all the moving parts of our wedding-- I didn't want to think of one more detail. Kelly was able to gently gather my vision while genuinely making me more excited about the little touches of greenery and petals that I'd hold throughout my wedding day. I wanted simplicity and elegance, and--even with such vague descriptions-- she nailed it.
She loves flowers and she loves people, and she wants you to feel that in your gut. She was a professional Celebrate-er, and a mini-retreat every time I chatted with her during our planning season.
I completely recommend working with Kelly-- or just calling her up to hang out over a good cup of coffee. Her pizazz, creativity, and warmth will not disappoint!
Thistle and Blooms was a dream to work with! I had envisioned my wedding day for years, and I was very particular about my wedding flowers and Kelly was able to create my dream bouquets! We sent photos back and forth for her to know exactly what I was looking for, and she caught my vision exactly! I was in love with everything she created! She was a pleasure to work with, has such a fun and fabulous personality, and is the perfect mix of professional and creative! I highly recommend Thistle and Blooms, they can make your floral dreams come true!
