Alice M. Sent on 10/14/2020Excellent!
Marissa was excellent. She helped me me to find a vision for our small replanned backyard wedding within a reasonable budget. She worked with me every step of the way and was very responsive.We used in season flowers and they turned out just beautiful! I highly recommend. -

Matthew Sent on 06/18/2019Very easy to work with, beautiful work
Marisa worked with us and our wedding vision very patiently over the phone as we worked through options, ran half-formed concepts by her, and worked with us to put together an amazing floral approach that perfectly complimented our style, our venue (Elm Bank), and our budget. She worked the reception area on the day of to perfection and rolled with the punches when some of our ideas needed to be tweaked on the day. She was great to work with over the phone, very responsive, and we’d definitely work with her again. Thanks for making our wedding perfect!

Ana Sent on 07/19/2018Marisa's work speaks for itself... after a few seconds in her Love and Thistle website, you come to the conclusion that she's an incredible artist, and that nature is her way of expression. This is what initially made me reach out, but now I can say that I got much more than beautiful flowers; it was an unforgettable experience and one of the greatest collaborations.
I was to have a wedding ceremony on a sailboat out in Boston Harbor, followed by a dinner. Not having an aisle to walk down/through, a bridal party, or most of what you would normally see in a wedding, there were few details that I wanted to focus on, but that I knew would make everything radiate, it would be very us...
And so I sent color schemes and inspiration images her way, communication and plans off to a great start. My wedding planning felt quite organic, one thing building upon the next. It was a short amount of time, and every week a new element was handcrafted and set. I kept Marisa in the loop, but what I loved the most was that I was able to completely relax. By that I mean... I was truly able to trust. I was able to know that she not only comprehended what I envisioned, but that I could trust in her creative vision. I knew that I didn't have to be on top of it all, but rather it would be best to give creative freedom. I knew that I only had to tell her what the important components were, and that she would populate them her way, and that her vision together with my vision would result in wonder and delight. This is what happened...
My words can't say more than these pictures regarding what stunning work Marisa did. But I would lastly like to add that the reason why there was eucalyptus all around was that the scent is very dear to me and to my childhood, and while Marisa was only to decorate the reception venue, I was surprised to be greeted by eucalyptus as I stepped onto the boat. As I was sailing with my new husband, taking our first pictures, that scent was with me as well. -

Kimberly Sent on 10/16/2017Marisa is absolutely amazing and we couldn't be happier with how the bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces turned out for our wedding day! She was such a pleasure to work with and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. We had ideas of the colors and style we wanted for our wedding, but that was about it. Marisa took the time to help us develop the look we we were going for and the final product couldn't have been more beautiful. We received so many compliments. If you are looking for a wedding florist who is kind, creative, and talented, look no further because Marisa is the best!!

Stephanie Sent on 09/26/2017Marisa went above and beyond our expectations on our wedding day! We met with her last winter, about 6 months before our August wedding. From our initial e-mails, I immediately knew that she had a lot of experience. She suggested specific types of flowers, sent us photos, and got a feel for our style. Throughout the planning process, we ended up having to add a lot of additional corsages, bouts, and decorations. Marisa was able to send us a new quote and summary each time so that we could keep track. Her prices were extremely reasonable, especially compared to most other wedding florists. On the day of the wedding, I arrived at the venue to see our beautiful bouquets, all lined up in their own vases. Marisa even provided a cloth to dry the stems when pulling them out, and a card with directions on how to hold them. Our family members' corsages and bouts were displayed gorgeously in boxes with tags on each one to let us know who each one was for. Our arbor that she decorated was everything I could have imagined, and she even worked with our cake vendor!
Marisa not only produced a BEAUTIFUL finished product, but the planning process was fun and easy with her! I would definitely reach out to her again in the future! -

Daniel Sent on 10/07/2016I am beyond pleased with the work Marisa did! She was beyond delightful to work with. She immediately saw my vision, which I let her run with a bit. Getting out of the car at the venue on my wedding day, the first thing I saw was the chuppah. It was the most beautiful chuppah I've even seen, I with I could live under it forever. The bouquets were beyond beautiful, and of course the centerpieces and boutonniere's were wonderful, as well as the flowers on our cake. My sister had a flower arrangement waiting in our hotel room after the wedding, also done by Marisa - seriously this woman is gifted. I look forward to the next time I need a florist, as Marisa is sensational. Do yourself a favor, take some stress off your wedding planning, and book Love and Thistle! -
User1701284 Sent on 07/08/2014We used Love and Thistle to provide floral arrangements for our wedding in May 2014. We are SO glad we went with them. Marisa was so pleasant and easy to work with, and the flowers were just gorgeous. As the bride, I had a very specific idea of what kinds of flowers I wanted for my wedding day, but I can't say I had the easiest time articulating my vision, to myself or to others. Marisa seemed to read my mind. Her creations were stunning, and perfectly fitted the decor of the day. We had a campground wedding, and Marisa's flowers had a beautiful, organic feel that tied everything together. She specially chose flowers from local sources that matched my color palette, and I was so pleased with what she came up with. I don't have a ton to compare pricing to; I ended up spending a little more than I had originally anticipated, but I didn't get the impression that she was too expensive or anything. All in all, I really don't think I could have chosen a better florist or one that was easier to work with. She was so great and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. I actually hope I have another big event soon so I can work with her again! -
User2714304 Sent on 08/06/2016I have no words to express how far above and beyond Marisa went for my wedding! I had a modest budget and she blew me away. The flowers she was able to get were stunning and right on point! It was beyond my wildest dreams of what I thought my budget could get me. Her style was exactly what I was looking for and she was completely on board to source local florals for me, and work with greenery. She used interesting and unique plants and flowers that really stunned me and made it feel truly custom and artistic. The arrangements turned out spectacularly, and my bouquet took my breath away when she brought it in. It was very "me" and I got a thousand compliments on it, my centerpieces, and the ceremony decor. I can't recommend Love and Thistle enough! -

Erin Sent on 11/20/2017Marisa was a joy to work with on our autumn wedding. We were insistent on having an outdoor wedding and she came up with contingency plans to cover all her bases--too much wind, rain, etc. The scariest part of working with your florist is not really knowing what you'll get day of, but Marisa delivered and then some! The flowers were locally sourced, in pristine condition, and the colors were beyond stunning (especially the dahlias). On top of everything, we also found her prices to be very reasonable compared to other local florists. I would HIGHLY recommend her!
