Thistle and Plume

elling or pressure. She made our wedding vision come to life while also honoring our floral budget. We received numerous compliments on our gorgeous candle heavy tablescape and pedestal floral arrangements. Grace also coordinated for drapery to be installed for our ceremony space, elegantly framing the altar, which saved us from having to source and contract with an additional vendor. Grace was easy to work with, responsive, and punctual! The quality of the services and floral arrangements was a bright spot in our wedding. We would certainly recommend Thistle and Plume to any couple needing wedding florals!

d our vision and our florals and candlelight were just perfect. on our perfect day. Thank you, Grace & team, for helping to turn our wedding into a gorgeous site to behold, I cannot recommend Thistle and Plume highly enough!

ceiling floral installations. All of the florals held up so well, were exactly to the bride's expectations, and lasted the entire evening! Her team was not only on-time, but early & they returned for the flip of the space as well as the breakdown. We are looking forward to working with them for many weddings to come!

ur floral vision, and was beyond mindful of our budget throughout the entire process. She made us feel heard, and made our floral dreams come to life so seamlessly! We will always remember the amazing vendors that made our wedding day so beautiful, and Grace and her team are truly on the top of that list!

ng for the AMAZING work that she does. Grace and her team made our venue look incredible and the first time I saw it I was instantly brought to tears. From the beginning, Grace was able to hear my ideas and brought my vision to life perfectly! She was also always happy and positive every time I saw her! If there was a vendor MVP award, I would give it to her for my wedding! Thank you Thistle & Plume and Grace!

ything they put together for our big day, and it was so much fun meeting in person to see a mockup beforehand. They even sent us home with a beautiful bouquet from that meeting - it was a really nice touch. Grace and the team made everything so easy and the flowers were truly spectacular and really complemented our venue space. My grandma (and all of our guests) won't stop talking about how beautiful and magical the flowers were. Would definitely recommend!

ce itself is beautiful. They were able to take our inspiration of both design and colors and bring it to life. Being able to see a small sample the month before helped us adjust minutely. The day of we were truly in awe, seeing the beautiful blossoms and greenery complementing the Ivy wall and courtyard. Thank you for making our day beautiful!

omments we got about them from our guests! My husband is very into plants so we wanted to do something a little different by doing potted plants as our centerpieces instead of florals and they truly made our vision come to life! Grace was so wonderful and easy to work with, very organized, professional and amazing at what she does! I can’t recommend Thistle and Plume enough!

r beyond my expectations. As we got closer to the wedding and I started working closely with Sabrina, the team went above and beyond to make all of our dreams come true. From incorporating personal mementos in my bouquet, to utilizing silk florals for blooms that were particularly meaningful for us but were not in season, the team was attentive to every single detail that were important to us. Sabrina was also so incredible about gently and professionally providing recommendations around floral arrangements that were a best fit for our venue, rather than what Instagram told me to do. We got endless compliments about our florals on our wedding day and I am so, so grateful to the team for everything they did for us. I truly cannot thank Thistle + Plume enough for tying together our wedding day in the most magical way.

c I was going for and executed it perfectly! She was incredibly kind, responsive, organized, friendly, and down to earth! When we met for our floral preview I was brought to tears as the arrangements were even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. My bridal bouquet was beyond my wildest dreams and the room set-up and floral placement was stunning. Not only is Grace and her team kind but they're incredibly talented. I can't recommend this florist enough for your special occasion - we feel so grateful they were part of our special day.

I envisioned! Thank you for making our special day even more memorable!

d with excitement and gratitude when I saw the final florals. Grace's team did an incredible job and I would recommend them to anyone with floral needs, especially for your wedding! I would work with them again in a heartbeat.

easy and seamless. Couldn't recommend more!

e really vague ideas and just let her run with it. Oh my goodness, I'm so glad we did because we never would have come up with the beautiful florals she created. We ended up doing bud vases and votives on all the tables, having flowers at our feet at the altar and I had a wildflower esque bouquet. Everything was so incredibly gorgeous, there's no way I could have imagined it in my head! Grace was such a kind and lovely person to work with as well. My husband reached out to her for flowers for our engagement anniversary as well and she was so generous in creating a bouquet for me. It was such a nice little preview before the big day! 10/10 would work with Grace and Thistle and Plume again!

our wedding as beautiful as possible was a treat. They were excited to offer ideas and suggestions when we weren’t certain what would look best, and the result was breathtaking. Photo credit: Bonphotage

not have a good vision of what I wanted, but after sending Anna a mood board she put together a beautiful proposal and in real life our flowers looked even better than I could imagine! Throughout the process Thistle and Plume was very transparent about pricing and the options we had within our budget, and how certain items would impact cost. We felt very comfortable when signing the contract, but felt even better after having an in person mock up meeting with Anna to see exactly what our flowers would look like on the day of the wedding and what the process would be for the day. On the day of the wedding Anna herself was prompt to deliver our personal flowers on time and the set up for the entire venue was BEAUTIFUL! They did the roomflip so flawlessly that we didn’t even notice it happening while taking photos. We received so many compliments throughout the night and all our centerpieces were taken home by friends and family be reused. I cannot recommend Anna and the entire team at Thistle and Plume enough - flowers have a major impact on your wedding day and are in every single photo and they brought the entire vision and venue together with their expertise. On top of it they were incredibly professional and so pleasant to work with.

provided easy payment options. She couldn't have executed my vision better! Grace had great ideas when I was struggling with what I wanted and went above and beyond on my special day! She was so sweet and provided a lot of complimentary florals for my day! I received so many compliments on how perfect and beautiful my florals were and my day would have not been the same without her! Brides- Reach out to Grace for all of your floral needs, she is every brides go to girl for floral!

lanning process. From our initial consultation phone call to our actual wedding day, Grace was so collaborative and easy to work with each step of the way! Not only did she produce BEAUTIFUL floral arrangements but she also made us feel so special throughout the entire wedding planning process-it was as if we were working with a friend! After showing Grace some inspiration photos of my decor vision, she blew me away with what she actually came up with-it was above and beyond anything I had imagined. From my bouquet, to the center pieces and everything in between it was all stunning. Grace even allowed us to bring in our own items which her team helped set up (lanterns, bud vases, etc). We could not recommend Thistle and Plume enough!

were absolutely gorgeous, and Grace had amazing suggestions that made everything come together perfectly. Grace was so helpful throughout the planning process, and flexible when we had some last minute updates. I highly recommend Thistle and Plume!

opinions on floral. I knew I wanted a festive vibe without being over the top (no Christmas trees, for example). When I walked into the venue after her work, my jaw just about hit the floor. Everyone has been raving about the floral, and I give all of the credit to Sabrina and Thistle and Plume. My wedding felt so magical thanks to her awesome work!

rals for my wedding and were not really listening to me. I reached out to Thistle and Plume in a panic to search for other options. With one quick phone call and a very fast email turnaround time, Grace completely understood what I wanted!! She is so kind, efficient, responsive, and understanding of changes we needed to fit our budget or a family member's request. Our wedding florals were beautiful and perfect. Would absolutely book again!

and ran with it. When I made an embarrassing mistake on the dimensions of a focal point table, T&P was there with solutions. When I desperately wanted a neon sign with a specific vision, T&P said "we got this". I am so grateful for their never-ending support and absolutely beautiful work. I don't think our big day would have been as special if it was not for the atmosphere T&P created. It truly was like they took my imagination and made it tangible. Highly recommend and would happily hire them again for any important event in my life.

s able to help dissect our random Pinterest board and list of flowers we’ve heard of before and turn it into a beautiful scheme. She brought a full gathering sample to our planning day and ran through how each arrangement was going to be used and reused efficiently between the ceremony and reception - definitely appreciate her budget consciousness there! The day of florals were beyond perfect and she nailed our color scheme. Cannot thank her enough for the beautiful flowers and being such a pleasure to work with.

ey are also very professional and communicative. I got so many compliments on my flowers for the bouquets and arch. I originally was recommended to use them from a girlfriend who got married last year, and so glad that I did. Thank you ladies for all of your help with my wedding the past 2 years!

ch and will never get over it! Of course, Thistle and Plume also did a FABULOUS job on all the florals, I don't mean to pick favorites! The pieces flanking the altar, the centerpieces, the flowers at the entry way, the tiny buds. I just can't get over it all. They took my confused and basic ideas and made it more beautiful and perfect than I could ever imagine. I love Thistle & Plume so much. I would hire them again and again! Plus they were amazing and so easy to work with through all the planning. They were truly effortless and just went so above and beyond. So beyond happy. Thank you for making my wedding so beautiful!

turn them into an absolutely stunning proposal that captured my vision for our wedding exactly. When I walked into our venue on the day of our wedding, it was absolutely breathtaking and the florals were even more beautiful than I could have hoped for. I cannot recommend Sabrina and Thistle and Plume enough!

am was organized, creative, and absolute floral EXPERTS. I can't recommend them enough. I'm so happy we trusted them for our wedding!

articulating the vision for our wedding (which, by the way, evolved several times throughout our COVID postponement duration!). But throughout all the twists & turns and curveballs we threw, Grace was professional, collaborative, accommodating, and patient - helping us zero in our aesthetic, ideating & providing inspiration from other projects, and ultimately helping us land on the perfect floral plan. Someone once told me that florals are often the thing many brides are under-whelmed by on their wedding day, but my experience with Thistle and Plume couldn’t be more opposite!! On the day of, Thistle and Plume's creative talent & flawless execution BLEW me (and my guests!) away. My bouquet & the bridal party florals were even better than I imagined, and our hanging arrangement was STUNNING - serving as the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and repurposed for the head table during the reception. Thank you, Grace & the Thistle and Plume team, for making our day everything we dreamed of, and beyond!

th them. The proposal was great but I was still a little nervous they didn't fully get my vision. Then, we had a mockup with them where they did a few arrangements and all my doubts were instantly gone. They knew exactly what I wanted and blew me away! I changed my mind a few times on the ceremony flowers and my flower girls and they were so supportive and rolled with what I needed/wanted all while respecting my budget. I could not have imagined better florals for my wedding day. They are truly mind readers and oh so so so talented! Wouldn't dream of ever using another florist ever again. Thank you so much!

k us under her wing to help us develop a stunning floral plan for our reception. Throughout the planning process, Sabrina was thorough, kind, patient, and professional. Sabrina and the entire Thistle & Plume team executed the proposal they developed to perfection. The flowers for our ceremony and reception were breathtaking and completely transformed not only the look but the feel of our venue. We received endless compliments throughout the evening and after our wedding about just how stunning our flowers were. We would highly recommend Thistle & Plume to anyone looking for the best florist in Chicago.

in our pictures and I was one of those brides who didn’t think they cared that much about flowers. It made a huge difference to the whole aesthetic of the day and our room reveal was incredible when we saw the final product for the reception . I cannot recommend thistle and plume enough. A pleasure to work with them and so honored that they were part of our wedding day!

dream wedding florals when I didn’t even know what they were! All I did was show a few examples of arrangements on their Instagram account that I liked, and she came up with the most beautiful floral arrangements I have ever seen. We got so many compliments on the centerpieces! I love that Thistle and Plume takes something simple and make it unique. We went with pink and white for our flowers, but somehow they looked so different from other flowers I’ve seen. I can almost always pick out their florals is wedding photos on Instagram now that I know what to look for. Sabrina was super responsive and kindly worked within our budget, letting us add/subtract items as other vendors got back to us on pricing. I highly recommend using them for your wedding flowers! They truly did an amazing job.

ouquets were the best they had seen. Grace created a collection beautiful bouquets, each bouquet a different white flower. They complimented each other beautifully. Grace was incredibly patient and understanding as I changed several details of my original plan a few months before our wedding. Grace is creative, professional and kind. I would highly recommend working with Thistle and Plume.

eir communication is excellent and whenever I needed to make adjustments, Anna was quick to respond to help us. They even went above and beyond and helped us set up all of our decorations for our reception. I was so excited to receive a sneak peek of our flowers the day before and even more excited to see them when they were dropped off at our hotel. They made our day stress free and all of our flowers and hanging installation looked beautiful!

ht hands and that she would bring our day to life. Anna was so conversational and personable, I honestly think she became one of my favorite vendors for our wedding. All I had to do was talk about the feelings that I wanted on our day and described what the wedding party would be wearing, and then she completely nailed the florals & entire decor from that. And on the day of the wedding, I had the lush, warm, romantic vibes that I was going for but was even better than I expected. Additionally, Anna was always mindful of being intentional with my budget and I'm so grateful to her for that. I would highly recommend Thistle + Plume to anyone planning a wedding in Chicago.

ce that describes who you are as a couple. Grace made all our dreams come true. When I told her we wanted timeless, spring, romantic, citrus feel - floral that we can indulge in - she knew exactly what to do. We trusted her on the big day to make a call on what looks best. She is kind, patient, and worked so well with my husband who had the best time finalizing the floral! Thank you, Thistle and Plume, for making our floral dreams come true. You are incredible in every way!

absolutely stunning. Anna is a lovely person to work with, very responsive and accommodating. Her and her team go out of their way to make your day absolutely beautiful. Anna exceeded my expectations with her work and I could not have asked for more beautiful arrangements or a better person to work with.

They had a fun garden-y look, but were still timeless. I thought that asking for purple to be our main color wouldn't be possible, but Anna and Grace made it happen! Grace was also very quick to communicate with me and they were able to add on cake flowers at the last minute. Thistle and Plume really went above and beyond for our florals and I could not recommend them enough!

day were STUNNING! We could not be happier with how things turned out.

our ceremony. The flowers and boutonnières were beautiful, and the table centerpieces were elegant and exactly what we wanted. They made The Rookery look so fantastic and we loved all of the flowers. We highly recommend Thistle + Plume for your wedding flower needs!

uly a work of art! The wedding was complete with their arrangements!
