Thistle Dew Floral and Event Design

Patti is absolutely incredible!! The flowers and centerpieces she made for our wedding made it an absolute tropical dream. She even provided a tiki bamboo arch for our beach ceremony and decorated it BEAUTIFULLY. The florals were the star of the show and truly made such a beautiful impact on our day. She is so kind and truly talented at what she does. Highly recommend!!!

I am so glad that I was referred to Patti for my wedding at the San Diego Botanic Garden. Before meeting with her I had some idea of my color palette but was not as clear on the details of my florals and decor. She guided me through selecting my florals and pieces of decor that would work with the venue, the season, and even down to the fabric on my dress. The final product was everything I wanted and more. Every floral arrangement and decor detail pulled together our aesthetic. I loved my bouquet so much, that I ended up preserving it in jewelry. I would highly recommend Patti as she was both a pleasure to work with and amazing at what she does!!

Patti is the best at what she does! Prior to our wedding she invited my fiancé and I to her studio to discuss the flowers we wanted throughout our day and the vision we had. She did an amazing job at bringing our vision to life, she is super sweet to work with and everyone loved her. The best florist hands down!!

Patti was amazing to work with for my wedding on 6/4/22! Prior to our wedding, she invited my mom and I over to her studio to talk about my vision. She really helped make it a reality!!!! Patti was so easy to talk to and really understood what I was talking about even though I don't know much about flowers. We arranged a pick up the morning of my wedding. She made 2 large arrangements, a hair pin for me, flower crown for the flower girl, corsages, and boutonnières. Everything was done way better than my expectations and made the whole day amazing!!!

Our wedding flowers were all so beautiful! Patti was so kind and extremely knowledgeable. We loved every floral and greenery item Patti designed!

My husband and I got married back in October of 2021 and we hired Patti as our florist. The flowers were absolutely beautiful! We received so many compliments from our guests on how wonderful the floral arrangements were. Not to mention Patti did an amazing job capturing the rustic fall aesthetic that we wanted. Overall, we are so happy with everything and are so lucky that Patti was our florist for our special day!

Patti's floral design was phenomenal at our October 2021 wedding, I would highly recommend hiring her and her team for your wedding!! She really listened to the theme we were going for and created such beautiful centerpieces, arch design, bouquets, and thoughtful touches throughout the venue. You can really trust her to create a romantic ambiance for your wedding. Her florals were the only 'decoration' we used for the ceremony and reception and she absolutely nailed it. I loved the hurricane centerpieces (tall candles), it added variety to tables. Hiring Patti was so integral to making our wedding the best it could be!!

I am in love with my bouquets - they were absolutely stunning beyond my imagination! I sent Patti some inspiration photos and she exceeded my expectations with the most gorgeous bouquets I’ve ever seen. They were perfect! Thank you again Patti!

Patti was INCREDIBLE!!! She was amazing from the start of our planning journey until the very end. She understood my vision and executed it flawlessly. Patti never hesitated to hop on a call, send me examples, accept pictures I sent, and even make last minute adjustments as the numbers changed. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for an incredibly florist, she was the best.

Jacquie G, Patti @ Thistle Dew recently designed and provided a beautiful display of florals for my daughters wedding 7/11, from the Welcome sign to the garter toss, which ended up in the market lites.🤣 I would highly recommend Thistle Dew, she listens to the Brides vision and is passionate about making the Brides dream wedding come alive. I was blown away at the floral pieces she made for the Hexagon Altar, so gorgeous I took them home and displayed them in my home. Thank you Patti for making my daughters wedding Magical. Jacqui G

Patti and Thistle Dew Floral were absolutely perfect for our wedding! She did a great job bringing my vision to life and the florals were even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Patti was super professional and I loved chatting with her in our planning meetings. Finally, we really appreciated Patti's flexibility in rescheduling our event due to COVID. We would 100% recommend Thistle Dew!

Thank you so much for making our wedding so beautiful and special. Patti, you are insanely talented! The arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages were literally perfect. I hope to have another event soon just so that I can book you again!! So amazing. Thank you!

We were supposed to have Thistle Dew Floral as the florist for our September wedding but due to COVID, we had to adjust our plans and no longer have our wedding in San Diego as originally planned. Patti was beyond understanding about the situation and was incredibly accomodating. She understood that this is affecting everyone and offered our full deposit back. During the initial process of finding a florist, I was super overwhelmed but Patti made me feel totally at ease. She was great to communicate with, she made the booking process so easy and she really understood what I was looking for. Unfortunately, we weren't able to use her services but I highly recommend her just based on the fact that she is a caring and understanding business owner.

Thistle Dew Floral and Event Design is fantastic! We came to Patti without a vision, feeling helpless and she saved the day. She helped us identify what we were looking for and far surpassed our expectations. The flowers and entire event design was gorgeous. We HIGHLY recommend!

Patti was incredible. She 100% NAILED my vision of the reception decor (flowers, table/chairs etc) as well as the ceremony (chuppah, aisle etc). The bouquets were perfect. She was super accommodating and easy to get in touch with. WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE having a wedding in San Diego.

Patti totally exceeded my expectations! My first phone call with Patti was really positive, I was a little overwhelmed at the idea of planning a wedding, and she immediately put me at ease by giving me some guidance on some good places to start figuring out design ideas. After our initial phone call, Patti would send me emails of pictures of items in her inventory (chuppah, table numbers, charger plates, candle votives), to help me in selecting items for the wedding. I feel very lucky that Patti was part of the vendor team, she was so pleasant and easy to work with, and very talented Ultimately, Patti created a real live fairy tale, from the gorgeous chuppah to the warmth of the candle light, the texture and color of the centerpieces (including the cute cocktail hour centerpieces with the white gourds!), and the natural rustic look of the table numbers, it all came together into such an elegant display. The guests were practically fighting each other at the end of the night over who would get to take the centerpieces home. Patti is a very talented florist and designer, she really created a stunning environment. Also-my mother took the succulents out of my bouquet after the wedding and potted them for me, so I will be able to have a piece of my wedding day in my backyard for a long time!

Patti is the best. she is so sweet and wonderful to work with. She is creative and very talented. She listened to what i wanted to made it a reality. she came up with great ideas and executed them beautifully. my reception was a dream come true and much of that was because of Patti's floral design as well as candles and other decorations. I absolutely recommend her.

I'm so happy Patti was our florist for our wedding. The bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages and centerpieces were lovely and just what I wanted. She also created beautiful other pieces - like the ringer bearer pillow. Patti was so easy to work with and always very prompt with any questions I had. I asked her to make a sample bouquet for me because I didn't see exactly what I wanted (wildflower freshly picked look) in the photos on her website. If you don't see a photo on the website, no fear (and really no need to get a sample)- she can make whatever it is you want - and make it beautifully. It was a pleasure to work with Patti, I am so glad our venue suggested her.

Patti is such a kind, wonderful, beautiful person! She did all of the floral and the majority of the decorations for our wedding. Everything was beyond beautiful and even more stunning than I had dreamed! She listened to me, she worked with me and she handled everything so impeccably. Words cannot describe how grateful my husband and I are that we had Patti a part of our wedding day! She makes the most beautiful arrangements and has amazing ideas! She even has a beautiful canopy/chuppah and so many other beautiful items that she can rent to you. She will help you every single step of the way and she will make sure that your wedding day is perfect! I will be forever grateful for her for making my day so amazing and for going above and beyond.Truly an amazing lady!
