We got married at Normandy and this is their partner florist. Best decision we could've made! We were set on an outdoor ceremony, however the rain didn't hold up. They went above and beyond to make it incredible inside! It was a mystical garden and to be honest it was even better than we could've dreamt! W&T were easy to work with and the flowers were absolutely beautiful. I can't put it in words how grateful we are! Book them!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Willow & Thistle Floral and Event Design for my wedding, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Kim and Jen were incredibly helpful, guiding us through every aspect of our floral and decor needs, from corsages and bouquets to ceremony decor, lounge setups, centerpieces, tableware rentals, and much more.
The booking and consultation process was smooth and easy. Kim and Jen took the time to walk us through every detail and worked with our budget, ensuring we got exactly what we wanted without any stress. A special touch that I absolutely loved was when Kim sent me my bouquet the day before the wedding as a small preview. The photos did not do it justice! I was overjoyed with my bouquet, as well as the bridesmaids' smaller versions and the groomsmen's boutonnieres.
The reception was an absolute dream. If you want to create an enchanting and dreamy ambiance, I highly recommend requesting the wisteria, bistro lighting, and tall candles! Our guests were completely in awe and are still raving about how beautiful everything looked. The florals and decor turned out far better than I could have imagined. The lounge setting created a swanky vibe that was perfect for couple's photos, and our final photo of the night featuring their LOVE sign was the perfect way to end the best day of our lives.
Willow & Thistle's team truly brought the wow factor that made our wedding day extraordinary. Their attention to detail, creativity, and dedication to making our vision come to life were unparalleled. If you're looking for a floral and event design team that will exceed your expectations and create a magical atmosphere, look no further than Willow & Thistle. Thank you, Kim and Jen, for making our wedding day unforgettable!

Willow & Thistle was the in house florist and design team at my wedding venue; Normandy Farm.
I honestly booked them based on convenience, but it ended up being one of the best decisions I made. Communication with Jen was amazing and they turned the Grand Ballroom into the Moody Christmas wedding of my dreams.

Willow & Thistle did the florals for my wedding, and they were absolutely phenomenal! They sent me pictures of my gorgeous bouquets two days before the wedding, and delivered them right on time the day of. All of the florals that they provided were high quality and absolutely stunning!

Our wedding was in May 2023, so it has taken me a few months to decide if I wanted to leave a review or not. I relied on a lot of reviews when planning my own wedding, so I decided to leave this review and explain why I would not recommend hiring Willow and Thistle for your big day. We originally hired them because they were listed as a preferred vendor from our venue. A year and half later, our wedding came around and we learned that W&T was no longer the preferred florist for our venue. This now makes a lot of sense.
Communication was extremely lacking. Whenever I had questions, I had to send multiple emails to receive any responses. I never received any invoices unless I specifically asked. I had to ask a few times to be sent the form to make my final payment. (Why should I have to ASK to pay someone?). When it came time to do our final meeting before the big day, it felt incredibly rushed. We were in and out of there in no more than 5 minutes and it left me feeling a little uneasy, but I trusted the process.
I was asked to provide a phone number for our emergency contact person, someone other than the bride/groom, so that if there were issues on the day of, we wouldn’t need to be bothered. We appointed my maid of honor as our contact person. The day before the wedding, W&T sent a preview photo of my bridal bouquet to my maid of honor for approval, instead of sending it to me. A simple mistake I guess, but still frustrating when running around the day before your wedding. Although the flowers were beautiful and in great shape, I was disappointed at how small my bouquet turned out to be when seeing it in person the next morning. Simply put, it did not feel like $300 worth of flowers. I didn’t mention it at the time as it was a busy morning, and I acknowledge that. But the more I looked at it, the more I realized how small it was.
When we had our initial meeting, we had seen a beautiful vintage couch they had available for rental. We decided then that we would rent it for the day-of to use for photos and our sweetheart table seating. Fast forward to our final meeting, I was hoping we’d get to see the couch again just to confirm it was the one we wanted (this did not happen). On the day of, the team dropped off not a couch, but a small chair only big enough to sit one person. As if that wasn’t frustrating enough, they refused to talk to my maid of honor (contact person) while my husband and I were taking pictures, and instead kept insisting they needed to talk to the bride. What was the point of having a contact person at all??
W&T did come by our venue with two couch options to show us, neither one was the original couch or anything close to it. I appreciate them trying to make it right, however, they took back the small chair, both couches, and still kept the $250 that we paid for the couch, despite the fact that it wasn’t used (or provided). If anything, they should have verified at our final meeting which couch we had signed up for. This was the one thing that went wrong on our wedding day, and for that I am grateful, but it does leave a bad taste in my mouth regarding our choice in florist.
In all, I feel like what we received was not worth what we spent. The quality of the flowers was great. The arrangements and candles were beautiful and achieved our vision for the ceremony/reception. However, I think the stress of working with W&T was just not worth it. It was clear why our venue (who we LOVED) no longer prefers them.

We used Willow & Thistle for florals and rentals for our April 2023 wedding at Normandy Farm. We didn't have a specific look in mind, and W&T delivered on the most beautiful bridal flowers. They were very easy to work with, and very reasonably priced. They also provided chiavari chair rentals, which I highly recommend as it absolutely elevated our reception decor and experience. The team at W&T is incredibly talented, and I am so happy we chose them for such an important day!

I can’t say enough great things about Willow and Thistle. We got married on 7/2/23 at Normandy Farm. We booked willow and thistle more than a year out and had multiple meetings/emails about our vision. They listened to our requests and helped with changes. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. Everything came out so beautiful. I would definitely recommend them for your wedding!

Willow and Thistle did an amazing job on my daughter’s wedding flowers. Jen was so calm and reassuring during the planning process, they did not oversell us (in fact we spent less than what I had anticipated), and they absolutely nailed our colors and vision! We received so many compliments on how beautiful our arrangements were. Highly recommend them!!

Jen from W&T was excellent to work with- once we confirmed exactly what was needed for my big day, I met with Kim to confirm again and the day-of everything was perfect. At the wedding, everything was exactly as I requested! Extremely convenient that they're already on-site and took a lot of stress out of my planning process

We could not recommend Willow and Thistle enough to provide the most beautiful flowers for your special day! I worked with Jill and Kim throughout the process and they promised to make our wedding magical and they absolutely did! Our bouquets, boutonnières, center pieces, arch, and additional pieces were all that we imagined and more! Kim and Jill were extremely professional, communicative, and compassionate the entire process. They both offered their advice and expertise and made sure to stay within my budget. When I forgot to add pieces to the contract closer to the wedding, they went out of their way to add these pieces and bring them to life. I was absolutely in love with all of my flowers for our wedding and could not have asked to work with nicer, more professional florists. Both Kim and Jill connected with our family and made us feel special from the moment we met them, through the process, and especially on my wedding day. Kim even brought a bouquet of flowers from my husband and hand delivered them to my room. It was going above and beyond what I could have ever hoped for! If you are looking for beautiful flowers from experts who know the venue, you found the right one! I also rented the gold chairs for my reception and they made it a super smooth process to add them to the contract! Thank you, thank you, thank you for being so incredibly kind to my husband and I as well as my mom through this entire process! We absolutely LOVED working with you!

I’ve debated and debated writing this review since I was refunded some money, however my bill was over $2,000 and the lack of what was provided certainly warrants a review. Buyer be ware! I paid $650 alone for an arch that would have greenery, pampas grass, and flowers in the upper left hand quadrant. They put one strand of greenery and fake pampas grass that resembled feathers up. And that’s it. Had I not been outside getting pictures that’s what would’ve been left. After numerous calls the coordinator got ahold of someone and was told they forgot to put the flowers on. The florist forgot to put the flowers on….their one job. They did come back and put a few flowers on however it was nothing like I pictured. They used fake pampas grass that looked more like feathers than anything. Again I debated on writing this review as I was refunded $350. But the one item that I really wanted honestly looked terrible. After the refund I still spent over $2000 for something I genuinely don’t think should’ve been valued at that price. (Bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 6 or 7 boutonnières, flowers for flower girls and a strand of eucalyptus on the tables) Do I wish I went with another florist….absolutely. Do I feel bamboozled…yes.

Hi Laura, thank you for your candid and honest review. We are very sorry that your experi...
ence did not match your expectation. This is on us. We always strive for exceptional attention to details, and we sincerely regret that we missed the mark on your wedding.
Speaking with you after your wedding we had agreed on a full refund for the floral spray, but we realize that may not change how you felt on your wedding day. For this we are wholly sorry. Aside from the floral spray, we hope you loved your bouquets and other personals, as our Lead Designer relayed that you did when she sent you images of them before your wedding. Your Contract only called for an "accent" of Seeded Eucalyptus to coordinate with other elements you provided (pumpkins)- so, the greenery is a rather minimal floral addition.
If you would like to discuss this further, I did give you my personal cell phone number before your wedding so please don't hesitate to reach out to me again. Again, I am very sorry your expectations were not met on your wedding day- we always strive to make our brides very happy.

Willow and Thistle were a pleasure to work with! They answered all of our questions in the planning process, helped us make decisions that fit in our budget and were flexible when I miscounted centerpieces and forgot that my cake design needed a floral decoration. They were a recommended vendor onsite at our venue (Normandy Farm Hotel & Conference Center) and had all of our bridal party flowers delivered to our suites for us, set up our flowers at our church and took care of our center pieces set up in our reception room. This was truly a stress free experience and our flower arrangements turned out BEAUTIFULLY! They did an excellent job hearing our vision and bringing it to life. I would recommend Willow & Thistle to everyone!

Willow & Thistle hit it out of the park! We got married at The Lake House Inn in Perkasie, PA. Steven Letendre and Jen Murphy were extremely professional and talented starting from the early planning session to the day of execution. We were able to organize all of the floral details remotely and, thanks to Kim, we got a sneak peek of the nearly finished arrangements a few days before. Willow & Thistle coordinated table centerpieces (orchids suspended in water with candles on top), gorgeous bouquets & pocket boutonnieres, floral garlands, and special memorial pieces. And, by the end of the night, the flowers still looked fresh. We highly recommend Steve, Jen, and their team for your wedding event!

My husband and I were married at Normandy Farm in the Grand Ballroom on September 2nd, 2022. We chose Willow & Thistle as our florist not only because they were the onsite florist for the venue, but because they knew exactly what vision we had in mind for our flowers and offered several other decor for our ballroom that we would not otherwise have access to. Steve was great to communicate with and had great ideas on how to make my dream bouquet a reality. All of our bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages were artistically and beautifully designed. I received photographs a few days before the wedding showing me what the flowers looked like, which was so nice to have ahead of time. We highly recommend booking with this florist!

Beautiful work!! Honestly I do not know much about flowers… and when I spoke to Steve I gave him colors, and that I wanted eucalyptus in our arrangements - and everything they picked to put together was so beautiful!! They were also super accommodating right before the wedding we had a few changes to our order, and they made it so easy! Also they were able to deliver the bouquets and boutinerres to separate locations which was so perfect! We added in uplighting & bistro lights too which was really made our ballroom come to life! Thank you!!!!

Willow and Thistle were amazing! We worked with them for our wedding since they were right on site for our Normandy Farm wedding. I arranged a drop off appointment a few days before the wedding with a few of my details for the centerpieces. They put them together beautifully on the tables. They even sent me a picture of my flowers the day before and asked what I thought. I was able to request them to add a little more blue into the flowers to make it exactly how I wanted it. It all came out so perfect!

Our wedding was June 5,2022. All the flowers went with our tropical theme and what I wanted . Communication with the vendor was always timely and no issues . The week of our wedding I received a picture text from the florist to show the progress of my bouquet and daughters bouquet. I thought that was so nice and thoughtful . Did not expect that . The week of your wedding is stressful getting everything right and talking to so many vendors . The surprise of the picture made me smile and what I had to look forward to . Overall definitely pleased .

I got married at Normandy in July '21 so we felt it would be easiest to use them since they're on site. The initial meeting was fine, it felt confusing because we didn't know what we wanted and the guy seemed to have no patience for it. Our second meeting with Jen was a lot more fun and I felt significantly better about our wedding day and had a much better picture of what it would look like. When the day came though, I didn't love my flowers. They looked sad and on the verge of dying. I also asked for my bouquet to be significantly bigger than my bridesmaids and it just didn't pan out that way. Our arch wasn't as beautiful as I had envisioned, it seemed like it was put together last minute. I remember feeling pretty disappointed when I saw everything but it was my wedding day and I just wanted to focus on having fun and enjoying my day so I just rolled with it. In hindsight, I wouldn't recommend them, even if you are getting married at Normandy. There are a lot of other florists who will make you feel a lot more special and care a lot more about your day. I just felt like any other bride giving them a paycheck :(

I used them because we got married at Normandy Farm and it was convenient to have them on site. Mine and my bridesmaids bouquets were beautiful. The groomsmen’s boutonnières were great too. I am very disappointed in the centerpieces for the wedding. They did not match what we discussed and the inspiration pictures I showed them. They have also not returned my email or voicemail which is also disappointed. We paid them a lot of money. Also, I gave them a few tall vases to put the bouquets in for centerpieces to save a few bucks and they never gave them back to me.

Willow and Thistle was a pleasure to work with! Their pricing was very reasonable. We got married in Fall of 2021, the craziest wedding season ever. When we booked them originally, the communication was great and they were helpful with questions here and there. The two months leading up to the wedding, they did not reach out very proactively, but the last couple weeks before the wedding, they were great. They absolutely delivered on my wedding vision. A couple days before the wedding, they even sent pictures of the bouquets to get my reaction and any feedback. I still can't believe that! They took my feedback into account and the bouquets were STELLAR. I would recommend them and book them again.

We were very happy with Willow & Thistle for our wedding! We initially worked with Steve, then in the months leading up to the wedding we worked with Jen. They were both incredibly helpful and were relatively responsive to emails - keep in mind they are extra busy will all the postponed weddings / "normal" weddings! The day before my wedding (10.2.21) Jen sent over pictures of my bouquet / bridesmaids bouquets and they were not what I envisioned or expected. They looked nothing like the inspiration pictures I had provided and I started to panic. Thankfully, Jen worked with her team and made my floral dreams come to life. They were STUNNING and exactly what I wanted! A month later and I still have people complimenting my bouquet... I wish I could post pictures on here to show just how gorgeous my flowers were!!!

I couldn't be happier with what Willow and Thistle put together for me. Not only did they need to do the bouquets and centerpieces but they were also tasked with a fireplace mantle and grand staircase. What they did looked absolutely gorgeous and was so similar to the inspiration photos I sent them AND they managed to keep it all within my budget. They were easy to work with and flexible when I asked them to revise my bouquet a tiny bit the day before the wedding. If you are considering hiring them for your wedding then absolutely do it!

I met with Steve and showed pictures of what I wanted. He said they could do it. What I got on my wedding day was NOTHING like what we discussed. I wanted lush greenery on the fireplace mantels and received leaves and scraps just thrown up there. It literally looked like they swept up the scraps from another wedding and used that for mine. The centerpieces looked like a five year old went outside and picked random flowers and put the 10 in a vase. It was awful. Thankfully my family was able to use Costco greenery to redo everything. I emailed Steve and Jen about what happened and never heard back from them. The price seemed great, guess it was too good to be true. DO NOT USE THEM

We met with Steve, who guided us but allowed us to share Pinterest photos with him of our vision. We selected elegant flowers, and to go with the room's rustic elegance, Steve suggested wooden containers. The mix of dahlia, hydrangea and roses were stunning. They exceeded our expectations!

We booked Willow and thistle since we were getting married at Normandy and it just was awesome because they were on site. Steve and Jen were awesome with communication and getting back to me promptly with updated contracts as my requests changed throughout planning my wedding . One thing I was disappointed with was in my contract (and I paid for) I asked for rose petals to line my isle. They were not there instead the isle had white lanterns which wasn’t discussed throughout our planning. It was a small bump in the day which was not something to make or break the wedding but would of been nice to be communicated to me. My bouquet and all the flowers for the wedding party were beautiful and looked just like the picture I provided. Jen even texted me pictures the day before to see what I thought of them. The center pieces were amazing and just what I asked for at the consultation. They provided the bistro lights on the dance floor for free which was an added touch to the reception area. The succulents that I asked for on the cake were beautiful and so were the arrangements for the pergola in my ceremony space.

Hi Jillian - Congratulations! Thank you so much for your kind words. We are truly sorry ...
about the roses. The after-effects of COVID have produced a world-wide flower shortage. All of those rescheduled 2020 weddings are happening now alongside the 2021 weddings, which means nearly double the amount of weddings. This has created a huge scarcity in flowers - especially white ones. I know it seems unbelievable (it still surprises us each week) but we could not get our hands on enough white/ivory roses to line the aisle. We decided to replace with the white lanterns instead so you at least had something. We honestly didn't realize it until the day of your wedding that we didn't have enough. We are terribly sorry for this. In any case, thank you again for your kind words. Best of luck to you in your new married life!

Hadassah is so incredibly talented. If you are thinking of booking her for your wedding, my advice is to DO IT. I have a feeling she will be completely booked out for years to come. My jaw hit the floor when seeing my florals on our wedding day. I expected them to be amazing, but WOW... everything just completely blew me away and exceeded my expectations. Beyond that, she is so kind and understanding. Our day was originally scheduled for 8/8/20 and we had to reschedule due to the pandemic. Hadassah was so understanding and flexible with us. She was also SO understanding when we completely changed up several design elements just two weeks before our day (and added a lot more), and somehow she made it happen for us, which I imagine was a ton of logistics and behind-the-scenes chaos that we were not aware of. I am so thankful I found Hadassah and Thistle Do Flower Co because they completely made my wedding day!!!

Steve and Jen at Willow & Thistle were amazing! We wanted relatively simple floral arrangements, with a lot of “don’t do this or that”. After meeting with me and hearing about my taste and seeing my vision, they created beautiful bouquets and a stunning arch for the ceremony. They were prompt with delivery and set up, and never a stress or worry to be had with them.

Steve at Willow & Thistle is amazing! We wanted relatively simple floral arrangements but still wanted everything to pop and look super elegant. After meeting with us and hearing about our vision, he created the most beautiful floral arrangements while still coming in under budget. Steve worked with me through the entire planning process to ensure it was everything I wanted. I kept changing my mind on some of the smaller details and Willow & Thistle never made me feel like it was an issue to change. We also had to keep changing our numbers based on the pandemic, and they worked with us every time. We got married at Blue Bell Country Club and Willow & Thistle took care of everything. Would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Willow and Thistle is wonderful! We were originally to be married and have our reception on May 9, 2020. We had to postpone our reception until May 8, 2021, but decided to get married on May 9, 2020 in a very small, immediate family only, ceremony. Willow and Thistle not only did an amazing job on all of the floral arrangements for our reception this year, but also created a beautiful bouquet for me to carry on our actual wedding early on in the pandemic. They have always been very responsive and truly made our day beautiful. We would definitely recommend them for any occasion and intend to work with them again!

I didn't have a lot of flowers - just my bouquet, small bouquets for my girls, and a floral spray for the ceremony pergola, but W&T was easy to work with, and everything was beautiful.

We love Willow & Thistle! Steve held our initial ideas/thoughts conversation, then we worked with Jennifer for the details as we got closer to the day of. They were both prompt with their responses, kind, and incredibly helpful! Jennifer made sure to send pictures of the bouquets over to me a few days prior for approval. They were gorgeous & perfectly captured the garden-esque style I was hoping for. They truly made my floral dreams come true!

Jenn was our florist for our wedding on January 30th, 2021. I was so pleased with how everything turned out it really did exceed my extremely high expectations! Everything turned out literally PERFECT, from the bouquets, to the centerpieces, to the entire ceremony and cocktail hour. Everything was so beautiful! I am so happy with how everything turned out. Willow & Thistle was so professional and was there with us through our May 2020 postponement, they were there for us and supported us through the very turbulent times, and came out stronger than ever for our January 2021 wedding. Jenn even let me see the bouquets the day before the wedding, and it was so nice getting to meet her. She is such a sweet person, and was always very responsive to email and inserted her professional opinion through the entire process to help me with my floral designs and everything! I cannot recommend W&T enough, they were so great, and I am recommending them to all my future bride friends! Truly beautiful and currently in the process of pressing my bouquet because I want to keep it FOREVER!

Willow and Thistle was so responsive, professional and accommodating throughout the whole planning process! We loved working with them. They had such good ideas for decorating, but really worked with your ideas and listened. They were so generous and helpful whenever I had a question or concern. My bouquet was beautiful!! Every other arrangement and bouquet they did was so intricate and perfectly placed. We got so many compliments on our flowers, and they were one of my favorite parts of my wedding day!

Steven and Jen were so great to work with! Jen was super helpful when it came to making my bouquet vision come to life (especially since we had to do it virtually). They were super responsive. On the day of wedding they were on time and knew exactly what they were doing-everything was just how we visioned it We didn’t have to worry about anything with them! I would highly recommend!

Willow and Thistle brought our romantic country fairytale to life with their florals abs decor. My bouquet brought tears to my eyes. The wedding arch was decorated like a dream with hay bales, corn husks, mums, wooden crates, lanterns, and breath taking fall flowers. The bouquets were delivered very timely, and held up with vibrant colors long after the wedding. They were so easy to work with, provided excellent suggestions and guidance, and made the day a work of art. Highly recommend Willow and Thistle!

W&T were fantastic! Steve helped my mom and I at our initial consultation. He helped gear us towards the right flowers for the season and went over various types of center pieces to use based off of my preferences. Jen was amazing and so kind. She was great at communicating with me throughout the whole process and even sent me a "sneak peak' of the bouquets for me and my girls. Customer service was amazing and they really know how to make a wedding come to live. I couldnt have been more impressed. I highly recommend Willow and Thistle if you want a florist who really cares and wants to make your day special

We had a great experience with Willow and Thistle! We worked with Steve, Jen, and Patty. We had a long timeline from when we started until our wedding day, but they still treated us like valued customers each time we asked a question or went in for a visit. They are more than willing to work with different styles and budgets. They have an in depth knowledge of how to make things look nice and flow well!
Our wedding was at Normandy Farm, so we had a very easy time working with W&T since they are right on site. They understand everything about Normandy and how it is set up, so they were really able to hone in on what we needed to do to dress up the space!
W&T definitely understands "little details". They were so helpful in making sure I checked all the boxes of details to choose!
One thing I would suggest, is to make sure you have an understanding of your ceremony space, and point out any particulars that you would not want around. I didn't do this, but W&T still made the area look very nice. Normandy left the wine barrels out which I told them I didn't want as part of the decor. But W&T dressed them up with candles so they didn't look so ordinary/ plain.
Overall, I definitely recommend Willow & Thistle!

What a seamless experience with W&T! Jen and Steve were an efficient and collaborative team. We were able to meet with them in person towards the beginning of our planning process to show them some ideas with pictures and see them assemble the centerpieces right then and there.
Steve was mindful with recommendations to help us keep costs down (renting certain items, bringing our own mason jars + pebbles for the bouquets during the reception, etc.) which was greatly appreciated. Their communication was always timely, clear and helpful to every question we had along the way. A few days before the wedding, Jen had sent me pictures of the bouquets we were putting together and I was able to provide feedback where she made immediate tweaks. Their delivery was prompt and they helped assemble everything as we discussed, even small details like attaching a locket I had to my bouquet.
If you're looking for an affordable, creative, exquisite quality, communicative, and collaborative florist... don't look any further! Thank you again for being a part of our wedding day.

Jen and Steve are amazing to work with. They made my life so so so much easier leading up to the wedding and on the actual wedding day. The venue gave us a hard time about multiple pieces of decor that we were supposed to drop off to them the Wednesday before the wedding and I had no idea how the execution of the wedding decor was going to happen. My mom called W&T, explained the situation, and they came up with a solution for everything . They were so willing to help us out and they made the ceremony and reception decor everything I was dreaming of and more. They went above and beyond with their service and the flowers were stunning. Jen actually sent me pictures of the bouquets a few days before the wedding to make sure I was in love with them. I asked them to make a few changes and Jen was so so so accommodating and finalized the flowers within the 15 minutes I was texting with her. That meant so much. I cannot say enough positive things about this company. If I ever need a florist again, I will 100% be contacting them. I would refer anyone to work with them - they find solutions to any stress you might have and execute your vision perfectly. Thank you thank you thank you Willow and Thistle! You seriously made every wedding dream of mine come true.

Willow and Thistle provided beautiful bouquets, boutonnières, and floral arrangements for our daughter’s wedding. They did a marvelous job with everything! The table arrangements, bouquets and ceremony flowers were better than we had even anticipated.

So disappointing. I met and provided pictures of inspiration of what I wanted exactly. There were some difficulties getting specific flowers, understandable. But planner then rushed through ideas, showing me no actual images or ideas. When I tried to slow down and actually understand, planner continued to rush through things like she had somewhere to be. Meeting in total was no longer than 20 minutes, I absolutely felt rushed out. At that point, we were a few months before wedding and had already paid deposit. Long story short, myself and my family were completely surprised on the day of the wedding of what we got. My bouquet wasn’t at all what I was hoping for. Also, my mothers corsage broke and fell apart before cocktail hour.

Our wedding flowers were gorgeous! Willow and Thistle made our flower and centerpiece dreams come true. Not only were they reasonably priced, but they even helped me when the day before the wedding I miscounted our centerpieces. so glad we chose them to help us on our special day!

Willow and Thistle are such an incredible team of talent. These people know what they’re doing! Steve and Jen were so responsive and always open to suggestions and changes. When my normal team was out of the office the day before my wedding they were kind enough to send me photos of my and my girls bouquets to make sure they were right. When I wanted them tweaked they came in to change them. I was so impressed and appreciative and everything was GORGEOUS! Thanks again!

We had a great experience working with Willow & Thistle. When we met with Steve, I brought in a couple pictures as ideas, and he knew what to do right away. We had a fairly large bridal party, which meant that buying flowers for everyone would be expensive. Steve worked with us to save money where we could and was very honest throughout the whole process. Leading up to the wedding, we worked with Jen to finalize all the details. She was very responsive and nice (even when I repeatedly got confused over our final numbers). On our actual wedding day, the flowers looked amazing!! We could not have asked for anything better. Thanks for making our wedding day look absolutely beautiful!

Wow! Willow & Thistle really rocked my wedding flowers. They were exactly what I envisioned. We first met with Steve to get an idea price wise and feel out everything. Steve was super friendly and knew the exact vision I was going for. After we met with Steve we worked with Jen through the rest of the process and she was AMAZING. When we met with her my vision changed slightly which was no problem for them at all. I showed Jen a flower I really liked and told her I wanted some eucalyptus and she was able to match other flowers to it to make exactly what I was looking for. Jen was so friendly and you could tell she really knew what she was doing. She would show us the different flowers she was thinking would go with what I had in mind and every flower was spot on. She replyed to all my emails in a timely manner and was able to take and add everything necessary to the contract.
A few days before the wedding Jen sent over a picture of the flowers and I was in love. I was a little nervous about the size, which I did discuss with Jen, and they were perfect. Day of went really smoothly, flowers were delivered and where they were suppose to be on time.
The one thing that unfortunately didn't go as planned was the decoration of my sweetheart table. We were suppose to have eucalyptus leaves and a Mr. and Mrs. sign we rented from Willow & Thistle, but unfortunately neither of them were there. Luckily, we moved my cermoney inside and we were able to use some of the decoration from the cermoney at our sweetheart table which worked out really well. I actually didn't notice day of due to the crazy amount of things going on. When I realized the next day, I reached out to Jen and she looked into what happened and offered me a refund immediately. Which was a very professional way to handle the situation and I was very happy with. Like I said I didn't notice day of and was so happy with the rest of the flowers!
I would reccomend Willow & Thistle to anyone looking for a florist, especially if your wedding is at Normandy Farm. It made it super convenient both of them being right there, considering whenever I was coming for a meeting I was driving 45 mins. I was always able to make the meetings work the same day, so I didn't need to take two trips. It also made me feel more comfortable day of knowing they were right there if I need them!

We were happy with Willow and Thistle. One of the best parts of working with them was sitting down in there shops and actively working with their staff to mock up centerpieces. That was extremely helpful.
We were a bit unhappy with what felt a bit like deception when it came to our contract. We got the initial contract and mentioned that we didn't expect to need a full set of centerpieces. Willow and Thistle said that once we got a more firm number, it would be no problem to remove one or two centerpieces. When we got a better idea about numbers about a month before the wedding and asked to remove a centerpiece, we were told it was too close to our wedding date. This wasn't a huge deal, but it just felt a bit underhanded.
Overall I would recommend Willow and Thistle, but suggest that you order the minimum you'll need in your initial order, and add to it if need be, rather than trusting that you will be allowed to remove from it.

We really enjoyed working with Willow and Thistle! They were extremely personable and answered all of my questions. They even helped make some last minute changes to my bridal bouquet to make sure I was 100 percent happy with it. The flowers were beautiful and looked amazing in our pictures!
