Flowers of my dreams

I want to preface this review by saying that florals were one of the most (if not the most...) important parts of the wedding day to me. As a fellow type A girlie, Katherine matched my energy 110% and was OBSESSED with the details as if it was her own wedding. She listened and re-listened to my changing floral vision during our 18 month engagement and always knew exactly how to update our proposal perfectly. On the wedding day, I remember going to the ceremony and reception spaces to see the florals and candles and literally could not believe they were OURS - it was like Katherine snuck into my brain, took a picture, and recreated it IRL. In addition to being a flower queen, she also has an incredible energy and was so wonderful to work with on the day of. You WILL NOT REGRET working with her. Separate but equally important note: Katherine's system for managing a wedding from inquiry all the way through proposal / payment plan /etc. is so seamless and tech-forward, which was a huge plus in my eyes!

Strongly recommend!

On the day we went to tour our venue, we had the opportunity to see Thistle Bee's beautiful work in person, as she was preparing and setting up for a wedding taking place that day. Her work was absolutely stunning. We also met Katherine that day and she was so kind, warm, and willing to answer any preliminary questions we had. Thistle Bee was one of the preferred vendors of our venue. After looking through her content on her instagram and website and comparing with other florists, we knew Thistle Bee was the perfect fit for us. We had multiple phone conferences with Katherine to thoroughly discuss our vision and what the overall plan and timeline would be. The meetings were comprehensive and extremely thorough. She was extremely knowledgeable about her craft, informative, and helpful. She made sure to devise plan options for us to consider that fit our vision yet remained within budget. On the day of the wedding, Katherine and her team showed up on time and wasted no time. She met with both of us to hand deliver bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, etc. Ceremony and reception decor was absolutely breathtaking. We can't thank Katherine and her team enough for their professionalism, expertise, and kindness. 10/10 Strongly recommend to anyone searching for a floral fairy godmother!

Beautiful work

I used Thistle Bee the Florist for my wedding on 3/22/24 and I was NOT disappointed. Katherine was amazing to work with and does beautiful work. She was a preferred vendor for Bear Brook Valley and for obvious reasons. First of all, she knew so much about BBV and how to set up that space with flowers to make it look beautiful. It was extremely helpful that she knew how to design the venue within my budget. Every time I spoke with her she made me very excited to see my vision come alive on my wedding day. She did EXACTY what I was envisioning, I could not be happier. Everything looked perfect. The day of the wedding she showed me everything that she had... perfectly labeled. All of the girls bouquets had a tag that said bridesmaid and mine said bride so we knew exactly to whom, each bouquet belonged to. She showed me all the boutonnieres and counted them with me to make sure we had everyones. Katherine does not leave any room for error. She is incredibly detail oriented and delivers every time. While Katherine was setting up I got a call from a groomsmen saying we were short a boutonniere (it threw me into a panic and I was confused because we had just counted them together). I went up to her to tell her (again, slightly panicing) and without hesitation she told me not to worry, and that she would go down to the grooms lounge and figure out whats going on. Long behold... men just can't count apparently (lol). She is an amazing person to work with and does beautiful work. I would recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful flowers at a reasonable cost.

Best Vendor on our Wedding Day

Katherine from Thistle Bee was the best Florist we could ask for for our wedding day. She was totally organized, well-spoken, and paid attention to all of the details. We went through many iterations of what we were envisioning for our special day and she was so patient throughout the process. More importantly, when we arrived at our venue, the floral arrangements were absolutely stunning. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you Katherine!

Outstanding!

Katherine and her team were a true joy to work with! I had a Scottish themed wedding (bagpipes, kilts, tartan etc) & Katherine showed up to the farmhouse ready to rock and roll in a tartan skirt- if that's not dedication to clients, I don't know what is. Katherine is incredibly knowledgeable and so kind. She nailed my vision and it came out beyond what I could have imagined! Thank you Katherine!! ✨🤍

Wonderful experience with Thistle Bee

I am so grateful to have worked with Katherine and The Thistle Bee Team on the flowers for our wedding day. Florals are one of the more difficult decisions to make for your wedding day because you can only reference inspiration and images and don't see the final output until the day of. Katherine understood exactly what I was looking for and relieved some stress by providing me with wonderful mood boards. Katherine absolutely matched my vision better than I ever imagined. I was so overwhelmed with joy when I first saw my bridal bouquet. My tables were exactly as I pictured and the combo of florals was breathtaking, yet simple and elegant. She decorated my wedding venue so beautifully it was a total dream come true. A lot of the smaller details such as the greenery on the ledge leading up to the reception was noticed by many of my guests. Working with Katherine was also such a pleasure; she was professional, not pushy, responsive, and helped guide me to decide exactly what I wanted. I cannot thank her enough as it was a huge component to what made my day so special.

September 10 Wedding

I had an awesome experience with Thistle Bee. Katherine was extremely easy to work with during the planning process: very detail-oriented, so thorough and also very transparent. The proposals she creates are perfectly detailed and really provided the outline for our vision. I started planning pretty early on, and she was super helpful at every step, providing the necessary guidance to help me stay true to my vision AND my budget. Our calls were very productive and gave me reassurance as we continued to move through the process and I knew I could trust her with delivering everything we envisioned for my big day. She and her team absolutely delivered and my airy, romantic vision came to life. From the installations like the fireplaces and chandelier to our sweetheart table and my bouquet, everything was well executed by the team and aligned with all the inspiration I had provided. We were very happy with the final product and would absolutely recommend her and her team!

Amazing Florist Team

Katherine and her team are amazing! Admittedly I don't know a lot about flowers so this part of the wedding planning process stressed me out prior to Katherine stepping in! I had pinned tons of inspiration but my vision was all over the place. Prior to even consulting with Katherine, I used her Wedding planning guide to help narrow down my focus on what I wanted my day to look like. By the time I met with Katherine for my consultation, it was a breeze! Katherine was professional, kind and transparent about what my budget would offer. During our consultation she helped guide me to understand certain terms, colors, shapes, etc. which really put my mind at ease. The day of the wedding, Katherine's team really nailed my vision, letting the natural beauty of my venue shine with just the right added touch of elegance with her work. The bouquets, centerpieces, sweetheart table and ceremony pieces were everything I could have asked for - everyone was raving about the creativity put into these pieces. I even utilized her team's service when I bit off more than I could chew with my DIY mind - Shea did a wonderful job setting up everything as if she were in my own head. I would recommend Katherine and Thistle Bee to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Katherine from Thistle Bee the Florist is absolutely wonderful! Her beautiful work is really a wedding photographer's dream. I was so impressed by her designs at a wedding I photographed that I immediately reached out to her when I myself was in need of a florist. As expected, she delivered far above my expectations :) I hope we get the chance to work together again in the future!
