Finch & Thistle Event Design, nominated in King 5’s 2009 Best of Western Washington competition for floral design.
“Thank you for all that you did to make Ruby Dance 09 a success! You went above and beyond the scope of your work to procure unique and very valuable live auction items that were integral to the auction’s success. I personally appreciate your efforts very much. We were able to raise over $38,000 for conservation of the Hylebos watershed and our urban forests, exceeding our goal of $35,000 in this difficult economy. Your participation made this a successful event!”
Chris Carrel, Executive Director, Friends of the Hylebos Wetlands
“I wanted to take a few moments to write a note of praise for the work that you did for our wedding. The flowers were beautiful, and in addition to the fact that they were more beautiful than what I'd imagined, everyone who attended our wedding and those who've seen pictures since have remarked at how stunning the flowers were. You managed to combine the style elements that we talked about in our meetings and added your own personal style to the pieces which, believe me, helped me immensely.
The bouquets held up great during the very warm day and despite our selection of a classic white/cream color scheme, looked vibrant and springy. Almost if not more important than the flowers themselves, you were truly a pleasure to work with, and I enjoyed talking through all our ideas together with you. Your professional knowledge and exposure from being in event planning helped to put me at ease amidst all the craziness of our wedding planning.
THANK YOU!!! I will pass on your name to anyone I know getting married!”

“The flowers were a smashing success and the Founders Room looked beautiful and so different from last year’s Spring Recital Event. The centerpieces went to guests at each table whose birthday was closest to today. They loved bringing home such bright colors. I look forward to working with you again soon!”
Marita Sheeran, Seattle Symphony

“Not only are Finch and Thistle's designs beautiful, but Rachel is great to work with. I've ordered arrangements with very specific colors, flowers and budget in mind, and she's been able to meet all my requests within budget. But she is also great with brainstorming creative ideas if you are not sure what you want. I highly recommend her!”
