About

Tell us about your love story - that special moment you knew they were "the one." Tell us about your favorite places you've visited together, the way it felt to step into each other's arms after long days apart, and day you agreed to be each others forever. At Thistles, we want to get to know YOU! Work with Maggie Milby Iowa Master Florist and Thistles Wedding Coordinator where you are the center of personal planning. Whether your miles away from our shop in Pella, Iowa or just across town, we offer face to face, email, Facetime, Skype, and over-the-phone consultation and planning services that keep your love story, your budget, and your day in mind!

We get it! You're busy! Like so many couples, your wedding planning is likely done between work/school and after everything else - let us take your details and ideas and create the perfect atmosphere for your special day! Allow us to help you with floristry and decor, calligraphy, and graphic arts. Don't stress on your big day, and allow us to deliver and set up everything so you can cash in all of those moments of planning and simply enjoy.

We hope you'll get in touch with us to hear more about our services and so we can learn more about you! As a florist that works with any budget, we're always willing to brainstorm creative ways to get the most bang for your buck with creating unique designs that speak to your unique love story!

Perfectly executed my vision for wedding flowers!

We could not have been happier with our experience at Thistles! Maggie was wonderful to work with! After just the first consultation, she had tons of ideas to match my color scheme and budget. She answered all of my questions quickly and even sent pictures of different centerpiece rental options. Our wedding ceremony had a chuppah which was decorated beautifully and looked great in pictures! Our wedding was in Des Moines but delivery from Thistles was reasonably priced and definitely worth it!

Very friendly

I went with my mom to look at flowers and she had a slide show. I’m terrible with matching and she would tell me what I could do and what would match!

Wedding by Thistle

Maggie at Thistle Was absolutely amazing to work with! She responds quickly to emails and brought my vision to life based off of one single Pinterest photo. She made my wedding look magical with her floral creations! Everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were!
