Thistle

Thistle is a women-owned flower shop in sunny Tucson, Arizona, founded in 2018. Thistle specializes in textural, romantic weddings, and works with the freshest seasonal floral elements to create the stuff dreams are made of! We work closely with our couples to bring their ideas to life, using our extensive experience to design custom pieces unique to each love story. We love using unexpected elements to add dimension, texture, and movement to everything from the bouquet to the table arrangements. Every couple is unique and each deserves a wedding to match! Thistle is co-owned by floral designer Victoria Martino and administrative whiz Carly Wilson. Victoria has worked with flowers for over 30 years and has designed countless memorable & unique weddings of all sizes, working in renowned shops in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and finally Tucson. Victoria and Carly first met when they worked together in another flower shop, where Carly was the office manager; they soon realized that they made an amazing team, and Thistle was born! Thistle prides itself on choosing to create custom weddings as opposed to enforcing budget minimums, packages, and anything else that limits the choices of our clients. We're happy to work with our clients on weddings and ceremonies of any size, from a single bouquet and boutonniere all the way to a fully decked-out reception. We hand-select each bloom from our floral supplier, ensuring that the freshest, most vibrant flowers are selected to make your big day memorable. Thistle's home is in the historic La Buena building on the border of South Tucson, which used to be a tortilla factory! Our shop and boutique offers not only wedding flowers, but also daily arrangements for all of life's celebrations (can you say anniversary?!). We carry a large variety of houseplants, succulents, and cacti, potted in a wide range of containers to suit any decor. Our boutique features gifts sourced directly from small makers across the United States and Mexico, including candles, luxury bath goods, accessories, letterpressed cards, and baby gifts.
