So easy to work with. Understood our vision for the wedding activities, which included rehearsal dinner and welcome party for 125 people.
Everything was so beautiful even beyond my expectations. The rehearsal dinner was exceptional and the price was amazing. -

My daughters' vision for her wedding was heard by Hannah and was 100% delivered. Truly GORGEOUS!!! Each flower/design was presented by Hannah and chosen by my daughter. Hannah and her team gave their time and talent to give my daughter the wedding she dreamed of and didn't disappoint in any way. Thankful and grateful!!!Golden Thistle Design's reply:
Lisa,
We love working with you and your family! Anna's vision was a visual feast and we were truly inspired while creating it. The flowers over the dance floor are still being talked about and will forever be a personal favorite.

Erin and team blew my expectations out of the water! We had multiple calls so they could truly capture my vision and plan for my wedding. On my wedding day, I had total confidence that Erin had all the details handled, but nothing could prepare me for how GORGEOUS my wedding bouquet was! Even my caterer came up to me during the reception and said "I've been to thousands of weddings, but these florals are by far the best I've ever seen". I would absolutely recommend Golden Thistle to anyone, and I cannot thank Erin enough for making my dreams come true. -

The best decision I made as a bride
Erin and her mom were jewels to work with. I had a small ceremony on New Year's and they made my dreams come true. Even during the planning process I had some setbacks with my health and had to scale back the florals. I was so appreciative of their understanding and willingness to work with me. It still turned out to be a beautiful vision of what I wanted on my big day. The vision board was like Erin looked right into my brain for my wedding. My bouquet, the corsages/boutinnieres, centerpieces, and memorial pieces were all exactly as I imagined and looked amazing on our big day. -

Hannah S. Sent on 01/26/2023The best floral designer in the high country!
If I could give one piece of advice to newly engaged couples it would be to hire Hannah Hunt and her team at The Golden Thistle asap! Hannah made planning our dream wedding in under five months an absolute breeze. Hannah is always available to answer any question and her years of expertise and contacts in the business are invaluable. Every detail of my vision for florals was executed perfectly. Her team handled everything so all we had to do was show up and enjoy every minute. Everything from her mood board at the beginning of the planning process to the final day was seamless. Hannah’s attention to detail and her creativity truly make her the best of the best in the high country. I cannot recommend Hannah and her team enough!Golden Thistle Design's reply:
Hannah, it was our great joy to work with you on your beautiful design. Your ideas were inspiring! Thank you for including us in your beautiful wedding. The joy and love was felt by everyone who witnessed you and Charlie together. -

Mother of the bride
Hannah was a delight to work with! She is professional and pleasant. She worked with my daughter and I to make the overlook barn in Beech Mountain a spectacular, beautiful and breathtaking venue. It was elegant and just what we were looking for . Her whole team was amazing the day of the wedding. Could not have asked for a more perfect company to make our day special. Thank you Hannah -

Erin and her team did AMAZING!!!!! Everything I ever wanted and more. Starting with our initial call to providing me with a vision board to seeing everything in-person. they HIT THE MARK!!! They got every detail, and even worked with me when I decided I wanted some last minute things. I would use them over and over and over again. If you are looking for a team that will provide you with the perfect vision you are looking for, for your special day, I would highly recommend Golden Thistle Design. -

A Dream Come True
Talent doesn’t even begin to describe Hannah and Erin at Golden Thistle Design. We met exactly one year before my wedding and they helped me form a vision from day one that was executed in the most incredibly beautiful way it honestly brings tears to my eyes thinking about it. (I actually did cry when I saw my bouquet!!) Flowers were super important for me and they went above and beyond to make our venues look stunning for both rehearsal and ceremony / reception. They are so lovely to work with, so creative, so efficient and so quick at set up and breakdown. I trusted them immediately to run with the ideas we created together and knew it would execute beautifully. Cannot give enough stars- thank you for making my floral dreams come true!!

Working with Hannah and team was an absolute dream! It's been almost two months since my wedding and I am still getting compliments on the beautiful flowers. I was looking for unique floral arrangements with a lot of color but the only vision I had was a few inspiration images on Pinterest and I could not articulate exactly what I liked about each. I met with Hannah and she was able to look at my Pinterest board with me and find the themes between the images I had saved and dreamt up the most AMAZING vision. She put together a mood board and did a personal sketch of what she envisioned for the head table floral arrangement. The way she was able to interpret what I wanted from a few images and a "feeling" that I was looking for was beyond incredible. She was also very willing to work with my budget and advised me on the areas to spend more versus less to maximize the impact. I sincerely don't think you can find any better - I HIGHLY recommend Golden Thistle!!! -

Look no further for your floral design needs!
If you are considering Hannah and Erin with Golden Thistle Design DO NOT HESITATE!! From the moment I met with Hannah about our design vision I had complete and total trust in her. She is so knowledgeable and creative! My ideas were all over the place and she was able to synthesize all of that into an absolutely beautiful design for our wedding with personal meaningful touches such as Chinese vases. Every detail including candles and baby’s breath pins for my hair was done with so much care. They far exceeded my expectations and I wholeheartedly recommend Golden Thistle Design! -

When I first began planning our elopement, I honestly just thought I would use artificial bouquets and arrangements. We were travelling from out of town, and I had been the bridesmaid in weddings with nice artificial bouquets & just thought that was the route I would go, never even considering otherwise. My mom mentioned I should really research fresh flower vendors in the local area, as it can make such a difference. Once I found Hannah of Golden Thistle Design, I quickly realized I had to have her as my florist. Our hour long phone consultation flew by--I was immersed in telling her our story, and she helped verbalize our theme and explained how she could tell that story through our arrangements. The mood boards she sent soon after just showed me what a true artist she is, and how much she understood our vision. Communication over the next few months was easy, and she responded with more urgency than any of my other vendors if I ever had a question.
When the day of the wedding came, with so much going on, I as so relieved to have her there. She took the guidance of where we had simply placed our ceremony rug and knew just what to do. Renting the stands, candelabras, and lanterns from her was one of the best decisions I could have made, as I watched her and her daughter's expertise come to life through the window of my get-ready room. Their attention to detail and understanding of my wedding mood was unlike any other. The flowers were unbelievable--some having been flown in form Hawaii that very day, some from London. The photographer and videographer stood in awe staring at the altar arrangements and my bouquet. Every single person who has seen photos of them, it is the very first thing they comment on is how gorgeous they are. Honestly, it's the only vendor I didn't know I needed when I first began my journey, and the one that ended up making all the difference. I wish I had photos back from my altar setup to share, but the bouquet itself was equally stunning. I was able to successfully preserve it, and it now sits on my bedside table so I can marvel it forever. If you are debating fresh flowers, don't doubt it for a moment. And if you're debating who to use, this is your sign to look no further. Hannah is a true artist, whose passion for her craft is unbelievable, and now an unforgettable element of our day. -

Hannah and her team were by far the best part of our wedding. I was super indecisive but knew I wanted a boho, elegant, rustic wedding and she took my vision and walked me step by step through the process. I can’t put into words how pleased I am with the florals and design of our wedding- absolutely incredible. I highly recommend Golden Thistle and would work with them 100x over again. -

How do I put this . . . Hannah is an artist among artists! She and her team are on par with the floral designers at the White House or Buckingham Palace! She captured our wedding vision better than anyone else could have come close! From the first time we spoke with her she was so attentive and knew exactly what we wanted despite our struggling to verbalize our vision. The flowers were a vision of beauty. Our guests were absolutely blown away and commented on how utterly stunning a job she had done. Walking in and seeing the final design was like walking into a dream of beauty. I wish we could have brought every flower home and captured the immense beauty of her hard work.
Hannah was absolutely wonderful to work with. She is an artist among artists and someone I would give my highest recommendation. You absolutely will NOT go wrong by having her design your wedding floral masterpieces! Thank you Hannah for bringing our dream into a vivid reality!Golden Thistle Design's reply:
Christopher, you and Chris were a delight to work with and we were honored to be part of your special day. Thank you for the kind words, they mean so much! -

I don’t know where to start with how grateful and impressed I am with The Golden Thistle and the services they provided. My wedding planner (who is also using The Golden Thistle) connected me with Hannah and just knew she would be the perfect person to bring our vision to life. Hannah Hunt was amazing. She listened, took feedback, had fabulous communication, very professional and kind, organized, created an unbelievable castle/boho mood board, made the entire process so smooth and truly beautiful. It is everything we could have ever wanted. She brought in flowers that I had never seen before and created a color palate that was beyond what I could have dreamed of. She wanted our day to be everything we wanted it to be and adapted so well to everything we asked of her. Your florist is so crucial to your big day and I would 10/10 recommend. Hannah, thank you so much being a part of our day. You were wonderful and my husband and I are so lucky to have you create the perfect ceremony site, reception hall, and wedding cake décor. I wish you nothing but the best in the future pal! You are so gifted in your craft.

Erin B. Sent on 06/13/2022Absolutely Gorgeous
Absolutely everything I wanted it to be. I was really relying on the florals for pretty much all of my color and decor. I asked only for an ombre of color ranging from purples to oranges and gave pretty free range otherwise with some general photos of the vibe I enjoyed. It was perfect and beautiful. Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. -

Alexi Z. Sent on 10/01/2021Thank you will never be enough - MOB
Where to begin….Thank you doesn’t quite seem to translate into the depth of our appreciation for the beautiful oasis Hannah and her amazing team was able to create at our daughter’s Overlook Barn wedding.
Like other reviewers, I could talk at length about how wonderful Hannah and her team are, their attention to detail, their artistry, upbeat calming demeanors, and their professionalism. All of which is completely accurate, but I also want people to know what an incredible human being Hannah is as well. Like all 2020 weddings, we were faced with the new reality that COVID had plummeted us into and made the very difficult decision to postpone the wedding 6 weeks out. Hannah was incredibly understanding and worked with us to find another date in 2021 when she would be available at no additional cost or loss of deposit. When you are talking thousands of dollars for an event, that is no small deed, not all of our vendors were that compassionate. Her demeanor is upbeat, her voice calming, you will feel like her friend after the first conversation, just a wonderful human being inside and out.
In terms of their work, Golden Thistle Design is the best of the best, just ask any of the other vendors or venues you may be looking into they will tell you the same and that is when you know you are in good hands. Not convinced? Just look at the photographs below they will convey all you need to know. Hannah and her team took my daughter’s vision of color and Pampas grass and turned it into a reality. They were able to repurpose the ceremony flowers and even some of the flowers from the rehearsal in the massive open reception area making it full of visual beauty no matter where you looked.
To be honest, I did not know how incredibly important the flowers would be in creating the emotion and love we wanted all our guest to experience until I was immersed in all the colors, floral variation, and design created on site by Golden Thistle. All our guests, the photographer, and most importantly my husband made various comments about the wedding being among the most beautiful they had seen.
Do yourself and your special occasion a great service hire Golden Thistle Design.
