You can’t go wrong with Willow and Thistle. They did such an amazing job with our June 2, 2023 wedding, we were just blown away. They worked with us on price and got us to where we were comfortable, and then delivered quality above and beyond what we were expecting! Just so so happy with how all of our florals turned out, from my bouquet to my bridesmaid bouquets to all the flowers for the ceremony and reception! Just a beautiful job all around and i’m so glad I went with them! -

Catherine Sent on 01/25/2023Amazing experience!!!
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! -

Steve & Jen were fantastic to work with at Willow & Thistle. They worked seamlessly with Normandy Farm and were able to bring our floral vision to life. They are always quick to respond and amazing communicators. Everything was delivered the day of on time and we were so happy with the final outcome! Thank you so much! -

We got married on 10/22/21 and used Willow and Thistle as the on site florist at The Belle. They were wonderful! Steve was so responsive, creative and friendly. He was able to stick to our budget and give us beautiful personal flowers, centerpieces and arch decor. Highly recommend! -

Steve was absolutely incredible. My vision was moody autumn florals, and he brought it to life. I told him I wanted my bouquet to be looser, not to prim and circular, and he gave me a gardenesque delight. My vision for the centerpieces I had difficulty articulating; I had brought him glass and velvet pumpkins and essentially just said to throw some flowers around them. Well he took this limited description and made the centerpieces stunning. His office manager Jen was also wonderful to work with, and made the final details meeting a breeze. -

Jamie Sent on 06/01/2021Amazing to work with
We used Willow & Thistle for our centerpieces, our ceremony arch floral spray, and boutonnieres. At our appointment went over what we were looking for in our centerpieces and overall look. We ended up with the perfect centerpieces for our wedding.
We ended up having to change our wedding date twice due to COVID and Willow & Thistle worked with us every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better florist. -

Ashley Sent on 04/08/2021Floral dream come true
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. We got 13 adult boutonnières, 8 bridesmaid bouquets, 1 bridal bouquet, 4 wristlets, loose flowers for the cake, petals, flowers for an arch, 9ish centerpieces, & 2 ring bearer boutonnières. They truly made our floral dreams come true! -

Leana Sent on 11/29/2020Excellent to work with!
I cannot say enough good things about Willow & thistle and especially Jen! Jen is incredible! Our original wedding was canceled because of COVID-19 but we wanted to still get married and use W&T for flowers. Jen was so patient with me, flexible, and answered all of my questions. She was able to accommodate every change we needed. I am so appreciative of her professionalism and kindness. Now, the flowers themselves were gorgeous! I absolutely loved the bouquets and cake flowers we received! They held up very well too! -

Erin Sent on 02/20/2020Amazing florist!
A friend recommended Willow & Thistle to us and I could not be happier with our choice. Upon meeting Steve for our consultation he immediately listened to our style & vision and did a mock up of the centerpiece right there on the spot. It was perfect!! Willow & Thistle was easy to work with and Jen was super responsive to any questions/changes I had along the way. Our flowers turned out AMAZING and exactly what we had pictured. We cannot thank Willow & Thistle enough for being apart of our special day and making our flowers exactly what we wanted!!! THANK YOU :) -

The most beautiful floral arrangements!!! I was so pleased with my arrangement on my wedding day. Steve was great and everything was exactly as we planned. He worked with my budget and had great ideas how to cut costs and make things work. I couldn't be more pleased! Will definitely be recommending their services in the future. -

Kathryn Sent on 06/27/2019the most gorgeous wedding flowers
It was truly a pleasure working with Willow & Thistle for the florals for our wedding. During our initial planning meeting, Steve took what I was trying to say and was able to bring my words to life. We changed the table layout about a month before the wedding and W&T easily adapted and delivered exactly what I wanted! In the days leading up to our wedding, the staff at W&T actually texted me pictures of the bouquets to make sure that they were everything that I wanted. I am still completely in love with my bridal bouquet! The flowers were all fresh and beautifully arranged. I'm still getting compliments on my bouquets and centerpieces! -

Jackie Sent on 06/17/2019The absolute best!
I cannot express enough how amazing this studio is. I worked with them for about 2 years during my planning process and from start to finish they were so easy to work with. Steve and I initially started the process of going through my colors (I had 8 bridesmaids wearing 8 different colors!) and trying to find the happy medium of floral options that would both stand out but not be overwhelming with all my colors. I have to say, he nailed it! After we went through those general ideas, I was passed along to Jen who seriously held my hand through everything! She was prompt, helpful, and was constantly sending me revised invoices!! Patti handled our day-of floral arrangements and nailed exactly the look we were going for. We also had a sneak peak at our bouquets 2 days before the wedding and I was able to make some small tweaks I wanted, which seriously made me not even have to worry about the day of! I cannot thank them enough for seriously nailing the look I was going for (and pictures to prove it). Thank you! -

Hannah Sent on 06/04/2019Great Florists
Willow and Thistle was a great florist. Once we met with Steve, we knew we wanted to work with them. They were really understanding of our budget – which wasn’t that high for flowers – and came up with ideas that were both cost-effective and beautiful. They made me a stunning flower crown that needed to be picked up before all the other flowers were delivered, and they were really helpful and understanding in arranging that, even though it was extra work for them. The flowers were, of course, beautiful, and they communicated their plans for our wedding clearly and consistently. Willow and Thistle was easy to work with, honest, and produced exceptional flowers for our wedding. We recommend them highly. -

Willow and thistle exceeded my expectations! My flowers were phenomenal and pictures don’t even do them justice. The centerpieces were so beautifully done as well. They really brought my vision to life and I could not be more thankful. -

Ashley Sent on 02/28/2019Absolutely Stunning!
Working with Willow & Thistle was an absolute dream! When we started talking to florists, I had an idea of what I wanted (greenery and candles for a winter wedding) but I wasn't quite able to visualize how it would turn out. In our first meeting, Steve immediately started grabbing similar materials available in the shop and lighting candles on the table to show us how it would look. We immediately knew we could trust Willow & Thistle to make our venue absolutely stunning and they far exceeded our expectations! From the bouquets, to the boutonnieres and moms corsages, all of the personal flowers were absolutely stunning. They even made a flower 'wand' for our 7 year old flower girl that made her feel like one of the big girls and she absolutely loved! The tables were lovely, the sweetheart table was perfectly done and they used the leftover greenery to highlight the mantle. The entire event was absolutely stunning and we truly appreciate all of the hard work that everyone at Willow & Thistle put into our day! Everyone was so easy to work with, friendly, and helpful. I couldn't imagine booking any other florist to bring my wedding vision to life! -

Megan Sent on 02/08/2019A great experience and beautiful flowers!
After meeting in-person with Jen she helped to write-up a proposal within our budget. I was easily able to make some changes that helped with my vision of what I wanted out of the flowers. The W&T team did a great job bringing this vision to life. My bouquet was ready early and I was able to see it in advance, Jen even texted me the final product the night before so I can see it and make any changes I'd like. However, no change was necessary, they did a WONDERFUL job with the flowers and the team was so lovely to work with. I've already recommended them to a friend for her wedding this spring and could not recommend them more highly!! -

Megan Sent on 09/03/2018We are so pleased with our experience with Willow & Thistle. At our first meeting last year, Steve helped us turn a few vague ideas into a put-together vision, and that vision became an absolutely beautiful reality on our wedding day this past July. We consistently had great communication with the team, and could not be happier with the way everything turned out. We got married at Normandy Farm, so working with Willow & Thistle was an easy decision--especially since they know the venue so well. I was a little nervous about the bright colors we had picked, but receiving photos of the flowers from Jen a few days prior to the wedding put my mind at ease. The bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and flowers for the ceremony were all perfect. Highly recommend to any couple planning a wedding in the area!

The week of the wedding they were kind enough to send me a picture of the bouquets - I had wanted a small change and they made it happen! The flowers were stunning !!! Thank you so much! Highly reccomend ! -
![Aisha]()
Aisha Sent on 08/01/2017We hired Willow and Thistle to provide our personal flowers and decorate our venue (centerpieces and arch flowers). After our first meeting with Steve, the director, our worries were diminished. We spent an hour discussing ideas, reviewing pinterest, and magazine clippings. We were absolutely relieved and entrusted in his suggestions for floral colors and theme to flow and not clash. Our flowers matched our rustic theme perfectly, in addition to our save the date magnets, and invitations. We would definitely recommend their services. Additionally, we received a discount, for using their services, as we had our wedding at the Normandy Farm venue.Willow & Thistle's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind words, Aisha! We were thrilled to be your florist and help make your day great! We wish you the best! -
![Catherine and Nick]()
Catherine Sent on 11/09/2016Willow and Thistle seemingly read my mind at our first appointment - I never expected them to know exactly what I wanted right off the bat. My simple, elegant Calla Lily bouquets were perfect (and excellent flowers if your bridal party has allergies) and our non-floral centerpieces were ethereal and amazing. So happy we used them.Willow & Thistle's reply:
Thank you Catherine and Nick! We're so glad we could play a part in your big day! Best wishes to you both! -

Megan Sent on 09/27/2016Willow & Thistle were a life saver!
My mom and I originally planned to do all of the flowers ourselves. We even took a wedding floral workshop about 6 months before the wedding. It was eye-opening, and we quickly realized how stressful it would be for us to do the flowers alone. Thankfully, Willow & Thistle were available for our wedding.
We met with Steve and I showed him the various ideas I had along with the general style I was after. He had great ideas, and even put together a sample table during our consultation. I was so relieved and excited that he knew exactly what my husband and I were after. He was able to calculate how many candles, pumpkins, and other accessories we would need per table. All we had to do was provide those items, and his team set all of the tables up along with the floral arrangements the day of the wedding.
Walking out into the ceremony and reception space prior the wedding was breath-taking. Willow & Thistle did an AMAZING job setting everything up in such a short timespan. It could not have looked better.
We can't thank them enough for the work they did, and we would highly recommend them!Willow & Thistle's reply:
Thank you, Megan! We were so glad to be a part of your special day, and we're thrilled you loved everything. Congratulations, and we wish you the best! -
![Jill]()
Jill Sent on 07/16/2015I could not be happier with my experience with Willow & Thistle. I live out of town, so my mom and grandma met with several florists for me. They met with Steve at W&T and loved him, quickly selecting him as our potential florist. The next time I was home, I met with him and saw exactly what they were talking about. Steve was so incredibly friendly and I got the feeling right from the start he wanted to (and could) create the perfect floral arrangements for our day. He listened to what I liked and didn't like (very basic) and provided suggestions that helped us easily design everything within our budget. He was extremely accomodating - if I didn't like something, he had a new suggestion and at the last minute he added in flower petals to scatter on tables and other amazing decorations (candles, candlesticks, etc.)...everything was gorgeous. He quickly answered e-mails, phone calls, and he met with us as many times as we needed. As someone who had no idea what I wanted for flowers and did not have much preference - he was able to take the information we gave him and create beautiful and perfect flowers for our day. All of his staff were exceptional as well - friendly, accomodating, and hard working. I highly recommend this company! -

Stephanie Sent on 08/01/2013We would absolutely recommend Willow and Thistle! Our flowers were stunning! I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted before I went to our first appointment. Jill worked with us to take my idea to georgeous and unique arrangements that were well within our budget! All of her suggestions were perfect! We also worked with Jen who was awesome! I can't say enough nice things about Willow & Thistle! From the first appointment to recieving our flowers - everything was perfect and beautiful! -

Meredith Sent on 08/15/2012We loved the Willow and Thistle! It was very convenient for us to use them, as we had our wedding at Normandy Farm, and W&T is their in-house florist. Jill Letendre is extremely helpful with everything. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. The centerpieces were phenomenal, and we got tons of compliments. They matched our wedding colors perfectly. We would recommend them to anyone!
