About this vendor
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.

Thistle made the bouquet and boutonnière for my wedding this past weekend and WOW. We were blown away with the quality! I contacted so many florists around town and they were all quoting insane prices for very standard looking bouquets and boutonnières. Thistle gave me a great price and really went above and beyond with the color scheme and aesthetic I requested. It completely tied our look together and really made our wedding pictures pop! Thank you so much!!!
We are absolutely thrilled with the floral arrangements provided by Thistle for our wedding. The staff were incredibly attentive, taking the time to understand our vision and bringing it to life with stunning florals. Each arrangement was beautifully crafted and perfectly complemented our wedding theme.
Thistle's dedication to detail and their genuine passion for their work were evident in every piece they created. Our guests were amazed by the beauty and elegance of the flowers, and we received countless compliments on them. We couldn't be happier with Thistle's exceptional service and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exquisite floral designs for their special day.
We were turned down by multiple flower vendors because we weren't looking to do elaborate floral installments at our microwedding. Thank goodness for Thistle Tucson, who never once made us feel bad about having a minimal aesthetic! After my first call with Thistle, I knew we were in good hands. They took detailed notes, asked what was important to us (in-season, and if possible, locally sourced), and understood the vision right away. I shared a Pinterest board and they took that inspo and ran with it, choosing the perfect colors for our bud vases and groom's bout, and creating a bouquet SO beautiful it took my breath away. Every guest commented on how gorgeous the flowers were, as did everyone who looked at our wedding photos!! Thank you Victoria and Brittany for going above and beyond. If I lived in Tucson, you would absolutely become my go-to for every special occasion.
We loved Thistle! Easy to work with even with our needs constantly changing. But our florals were BEAUTIFUL. Centerpieces, boutonnieres, corsages, bridesmaids and toss bouquet were all just so stunning. And my bouquet was absolutely gorgeous and everything I ever wanted, even better than I could have imagined! So happy with how everything turned out!
10/10 Amazing florist! We got so many compliments from guests and the photographer on the stunning bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages. The flowers turned out to be our favorite thing from the wedding! I wanted something autumnal, colorful, and not super traditional. Carly worked with me over Zoom and email to understand the vibe of the wedding and my inspiration, and put together a proposal. I trusted her judgement and the process, and it turned out absolutely breathtaking. I loved all the colorful flowers and different textures and the inclusion of a cactus in my bouquet. The bouquets did end up being a bit bigger than I had imagined and mine was rather heavy, so I got a bit of an arm workout during photos.
The groom and groomsmen loved the ease of the magnetic back boutonnieres, and having vases included with the bouquets made it simple to repurpose them as table decorations for the reception.
