Common questions
Frequently asked
What does the $5,000 minimum include?
- It covers your floral design only - bridal party, ceremony, and reception florals tailored to your vision. Delivery, setup, breakdown, and applicable taxes are additional. Every couple receives a complimentary consultation and a custom proposal so you can see exactly where your investment lands.
How early should I book my wedding florals?
- We typically book six to twelve months out, and longer for peak NC High Country dates in late spring and early fall. The earlier you reach out the easier it is to secure your date and lock in seasonal flowers you love.
Do you offer set packages or only custom design?
- Every Golden Thistle Design wedding is fully bespoke. Flower varieties, color stories, and arrangement sizes are built around your venue, your palette, and the way the mountains will light your moments. No two weddings look alike.
What about elopements and small weddings?
- Smaller celebrations are wonderful. Reach out and tell us about your day. We will design a thoughtful, intimate floral plan that fits the scale of your celebration.
How do I get started?
- Tell us about your wedding using the inquiry form. We will reply within a few business days with availability and the next step toward your complimentary consultation.
“As both a bride and wedding planner, I have incredibly high standards when it comes to florals, and Golden Thistle Design didn’t just meet them, they exceeded them in every way. When I saw my bridal bouquet, I actually cried, it was that beautiful. They are truly masters of their craft who turn floral dreams into breathtaking reality. Simply put, they’re the best in the business.”
“Erin and team blew my expectations out of the water! We had multiple calls so they could truly capture my vision. 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 cannot thank Erin enough for making my dreams come true.”
“Our wedding flowers were an absolute dream come true. From the very first meeting, Erin understood exactly what we wanted and somehow made it even better. The colors and design were breathtaking, and we received endless compliments from our guests. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!”
“Erin brought to life my daughter’s floral vision in such a beautiful way. It brought tears to my eyes when I walked into the venue. From the table decor to the hanging greenery to the altar centerpieces, everything was absolutely stunning. Every wedding needs Golden Thistle Design!”
“Hannah is an artist among artists! She captured our wedding vision better than anyone else could have come close. 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.”
“If I could give 1,000 stars I would! My wedding looked like it could be straight out of Pinterest, all because of the work that Hannah and Erin did. I cried exactly twice on my wedding day, during toasts and when I saw my bridal bouquet for the first time.”
“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. She advised me on where to spend more versus less to maximize the impact. I sincerely don’t think you can find any better.”
“Choosing vendors for a destination wedding can be difficult, but working with Hannah made all of those fears go away. I wanted an elegant Christmas wedding and she made my dreams come true. The flowers were big and beautiful, of the highest quality. If you are getting married in the North Carolina high country, Golden Thistle Design will make your floral dreams come true!”
“Erin and her team are truly incredible! They created an entire design board to bring my vision to life. I loved my bouquet so much that I had it preserved in resin to keep forever. I couldn’t say enough great things about this mother-daughter company. They really make you feel like family!”
