“Ashlee is absolutely amazing to work with - she recognized my vision right away and took it to another level! She went above and beyond and added special touches with leftover pieces that only an extremely talented artist could do. Our guests could not stop commenting/gushing over the creative floral pieces! Ashlee’s passion and love for her work is clear and I’m already planning my next event with her!”
Blending a background of 20 years experience in theatre and an obsession with flowers, I’ve created a design studio that prioritizes storytelling and quality blooms to make every moment of your day feel that much more unique. Obsessing over every little detail to create something truly magical is our forte, and that starts with just a few questions.
I’m Ashlee Brotherton, and I’ll be your wedding florist!

From the very beginning, Ashlee was incredibly collaborative, kind, enthusiastic, and responsive, making the planning process easy and enjoyable. She really took the time to understand our vision and brought amazing and personalized ideas and suggestions to the table, within budget. On the wedding day, her florals and decor absolutely blew me away — they were beyond what I could have imagined and truly exceeded my expectations. Every detail was perfect and we received so many compliments from our guests. If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented but also a joy to work with, you can't go wrong with Thistledown.

Our florist Ashlee was truly incredible and made such a lasting impact on our wedding day. From the very beginning, she took the time to meet with us and really listen to what we envisioned, which instantly made us feel comfortable and confident. On the day itself, she transformed our space into something straight out of a dream, she genuinely brought my Pinterest board to life in a way that was even better than I could have imagined. The thoughtful combination of florals and candles created the perfect ambiance, both elegant and warm, and it was more breathtaking than we ever expected. On top of her creative talent, she and her team were always timely and professional, quick to respond to us and other vendors, and incredibly reliable on the wedding day itself. Having her as part of our vendor team was one of the best decisions we made, and we’ll always be grateful for the beauty she brought to our celebration!

Thistledown Floral handled the flowers for my daughter’s wedding at Ivy House in Saugatuck. As we live out of town, all of our meetings were virtual. Ashlee absolutely understood the assignment. Our florals were the most discussed aspect of the night. They were whimsical and seasonal and perfectly tonal; all in keeping with Olivia's vision. In fact, Ashlee knew what we wanted more than we could have put into words. Trust her with your dream bouquets. Trust her to make the process seamless. She made our day beautiful and enchanting. Pictures cannot do it justice. I’m so pleased we found her.
