Visit us at 832 Main St or order online. Originally opened in 1983 by Lois Vander Weide as the Village Florist, our shop has been a part of Historic Downtown Pella for 25+ years. Under new ownership in 2006 we changed our name to thistles to better suit our style. We can do traditional styles, but excel in something a bit more unusual or high style. We are proud of our heritage and being a staple in the downtown community. With changes in the times, economy & ownership, we are thankful for our customers who have embraced these changes right along with us! We look forward to continuing to serve you through life changes, yesterday, today & tomorrow.

We know wedding flowers can feel like a mystery until you already feel in it. So we built two clear paths. One with pricing you can see before you ever book a meeting and one fully custom to your vision ✨🌼

Either way, you are getting the same care and the same trained florist team. Swipe to see which fits your day 🤍

Fifteen years in, and Nicole still lights up when she sees beautiful flowers in our cooler! She says the textures and scents never get old, and you can see it in every bouquet she builds 🌼

Happy Petal It Forward Day 🌷 Come say hi and let us share a little of that joy with you ✨

Kristen says the best part of working at Thistles is getting a front row seat to life’s milestone moments. Weddings, new babies, anniversaries, first dates, and the hard goodbyes too. Every arrangement she makes becomes part of someone’s story, and she counts that as a gift 🌸

Happy Petal It Forward Day 🌷 Stop by, grab a bloom, and pass it along to someone who needs it 🫶🏼

Our last flyer is waiting where a fresh look can turn your whole week around. Taking care of yourself counts, and so does sharing that feeling with someone who needs it. Find the flyer, pull a tab, and stop by Thistles for a bouquet to keep and one to give away. Can’t wait to see you! ✂️💐

Clue number two is tucked away where good bottles wait for good company. It’s the kind of place you stop on the way to a dinner with friends or a quiet night in. Grab a tab and come see us. One bouquet is yours, and one is for the person you’d raise a glass to. 🍷🌷

Some mornings need a little lift before the day can begin. Our first Petal It Forward flyer is hiding where Pella goes for that first warm sip and a few good minutes to breathe. Find it, tear off a tab, and bring it to Thistles. You’ll leave with two bouquets: one to brighten your day and one to brighten someone else’s. 💐☕

10/14/2026

Be on the lookout tomorrow for our flyer clues around town to get a hold of not one but TWO bouquets for 💐🌸 keep one for yourself, and brighten someone else’s day with an unexpected gift 🫶🏼💖 see you tomorrow!

Some buildings hold more than memories. They hold pieces of the people we love 💗

For me, one of the Keys of Main Street has always been this building. Long before it was Thistles, it was The Soda Jerk, the soda shop my grandma would take me for a sweet treat. Those sweet memories are why I always dreamed of owning a business here, and why filling this space with that same warmth means so much.

This month, it feels even more meaningful. I’m so honored to support Pella in Pink, because cancer has touched generations of my family, including my grandma, a nurse who faced it with quiet strength.

Stop in for our breast cancer awareness decorated cookies. 20% of proceeds go to Pella Regional Health Center🍪💖

Here’s to the women who came before us, and to a community that carries their memory forward ✨

Some brides dream of every detail. Others just want beautiful flowers without one more decision on the list. We love both 🤍🌹

Our custom wedding design isn’t going anywhere. But if you’re hoping for something seamless, meet Flower Market Weddings, where there are only three questions to answer:

1. What color scheme are you dreaming of?
2. What flowers do you need? Bridal bouquet, boutonnieres, centerpieces, whatever your day calls for.
3. Pickup or delivery?

That’s it ✨ Our designers take it from there, with honest pricing up front and premium blooms at a more approachable price, thanks to the grower partnerships we built in South America this year 🌼

Stop by the shop to see the collection in person, or send us a message. We’d love to hear about your day 🤍
