Services
Proper flower care is essential in maintaining your fresh flower arrangement, so that you can enjoy it for as long as possible. By giving your flowers just a little bit of daily attention, you can help them to last up to a few weeks. In foam: add water to the container daily to keep the water level toward the top, like you would water a plant.
Thistle's principal designer, Victoria Martino, has more than 30 years of experience crafting memorable wedding florals that you'll dream about long past the honeymoon. Work with a designer one-on-one to create floral designs that express your love story -never generic or cookie-cutter. Our weddings start with a complimentary consultation.

We had the best experience with Thistle. Thankfully a friend pointed us in their direction! Victoria and Carly have such a sweet and personal touch, the initial consult was so easy, we wandered over to their location and they asked questions about our venue, some basics about our style and the colors for our wedding, and basically took the time to get to know some more about us (including our tiny baby). We knew we didn't want traditional flowers, and we were attracted to their use of succulents/desert foliage. After the initial consult, communication, payments, etc was unbelievably simple and

For our wedding day, it was so important to me to have a beautiful bouquet and a flower arrangement. I contacted Thistle and provided a picture or two. When I received the flowers, I was speechless! They were absolutely stunning with incredible details. Thistle really made our day as special as I could have imagined. I cannot recommend Thistle enough for any type of arrangement. I also cannot imagine going anywhere else for flowers in Tucson. Thank you!

Thistle is yet another lovely florist in town! Carly has such a good eye. The floral arrangements are beautiful and they have a selection of dry flowers and gift items. I received a gorgeous bouquet of flowers for my birthday from my husband. The ordering process was done over email and delivery was mid morning in my birthday. Easy peasy and super beautiful!

Absolutely appalled by this business' customer service. Currently our country is undergoing a pandemic which I understand is affecting many businesses but it's also affecting families. My two very good family friends were supposed to get married this weekend but unfortunately with everything going on they were forced to cancel (emphasizing forced to cancel NOT by choice). Instead of showing compassion or even some understanding, when my family friends called to inform them that they would need to cancel the flowers they told them it was too late (understandable because they did already order the

I have purchased and received numerous arrangements from Thistle over the years. I have followed their progression from small stand at the farmers market to the opening of their brick and mortar store. The flowers are not only uniquely and beautifully arranged, but they are fresh! The staff are extremely courteous and customer-centric. Before the pandemic, as I planned a wedding, they were more than willing to make my flower dreams a reality and at fair price. This small, women-owned business has cultivated a beautiful shop where anybody would feel the warmth and care these woman put into their

I've received a couple bouquets from Thistle and they were absolutely beautiful! They made the prettiest flower crowns for a few of us for the All Souls Procession here in Tucson, which I was able to save and also wear for my birthday a few days later! The store is so incredibly cute and there's so much more unique things besides flowers. I even found things for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day! I got some nice natural soaps and found a cute card. It was so nice to see both of the owners in there having a good time together! Thank you Carly and Victoria!! Y'all are the best

Thistle is my go-to florist! Not only have I received several gorgeous arrangements from this shop, I’ve used them to send flowers to my coworkers and friends who have all raved about their flowers to me.
Thistle consistently exceeds my expectations...and, I’ve actually stopped in their shop which is super cute and the girls are friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend!

I have ordered flowers from Thistle on a few different occasions, all were fantastic experiences. Not only is this a woman owned business, but they are so very helpful when choosing the right arrangement! I am always pleased with how beautiful the arrangements are and will continue to use this company in the future.

Thistle, oh Thistle, you have won my heart.
As well all know, florals are always beautiful, but the type of arrangements that Thistle puts together are truly stunning and unique. Their color choices and signature style has earned them a huge spot in my heart, and they were a joy to work with. I had recently collaborated with them for a local event, and their response time, attention to detail, and overall ability to go above and beyond, made my event go much smoother than I had anticipated! They provided a gorgeous lush centerpiece arrangement, as well as individual roses for each guest at our

This place is a hidden little gem of a flower spot. I stopped next door and saw this place as I walked out. Their flowers are distinguishable when compared to your cookie cutter 1800flowers or grocery store arrangements. Their customer service was very friendly and knowledgeable while offering unique options.

Victoria is the most talented floral designer that I have ever met!! And Carly is super professional and easy to work with. Both have a great track record in the industry - a powerhouse team!! You definitely have to go to Thistle for all your floral needs! After purchasing a Christmas wreath from Thistle at the farmer's market last December, and being blown away by the quality and attention to detail, we decided to have Victoria do all of our holiday wreathes and garlands! She even shipped them out of state for us at a very reasonable cost!! Wow!! We were so in love with the end result and

The Thistle girls have created some of the most beautiful arrangements that has absolutely floored me! They are so incredibly friendly and a pleasure to chat with at the markets! Everyone has gone crazy over their centerpieces.
I wish I could have Thistle flowers every day! These girls are not fooling around when it comes to the floral game!
