About Thistle Floral

Alex Lehr

Owner & Lead Designer

I heard someone say once, "What people come to you for is what you're good at." Since I haven't figured out a way to make a career out of eating candy and watching Law & Order, the next thing would be Floral Design. What I thought would be 'just a part time job' at a neighborhood flower shop, turned out to be the greatest, most challenging, and beautiful adventure. After years of working in the retail shop environment (and meeting two of my now nearest and dearest friends), it was very obvious that I should expand my knowledge in the floral industry.

I love working with all couples. Every arrangement is specifically designed for you and your wedding - no cookie cutter flowers, ever! I am an environmentally responsible florist specializing in romantic, whimsical, and botanical designs.

    So thoughtful and professional!

    Alex made our wedding day so beautiful with her thoughtful, creative and talented eye! We have received compliments for our flowers even years after our wedding. Not only did she capture our vision for our wedding, but Alex has provided beautiful holiday arrangements for our home year after year. I am so thankful to have someone so creative and professional to add that little boost to any event or just to brighten the room! We love thistle floral!

    Amazing Florist

    Thistle Floral did the flowers for my wedding and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. They listened to everything little detail I described, and matched my inspiration pictures to a T. I had numerous compliments on my arrangements and bouquet. If you are looking for style, beauty and an easy and reliable florist to work with go with Thistle!

    Creative and a Delight

    Alex of Thistle is truly the most creative florist. I chose her due to her unique vision and personality. My flowers were incredible and my bouquet was one of my favorite parts of my decor. She is so fun and makes the planning process easy and joyful. Book her! <3

    Floral Dreams

    I had the opportunity to work with Alex on a project at my event space and I hope to work with her on many more events in the future. She has great taste and good vision when it comes to floral arrangements and I got so many compliments on the flowers that were provided. Her photos on my social media pages have been getting a lot of attention as well. Highly recommended!
