About

Overview & Vibe

Thistle Flowers is Matt and Chris, running a bespoke flower shop on Murray Street in Port Macquarie. Their own framing is “beautiful flowers for the unique & unexpected”, and they describe the range of wedding work they will take as “understated or overstated, elegant, extravagant, contemporary or eccentric.”

Style & Signature Blooms

Confident at both ends. Their own wedding photographs run from an all-white ceremony installation of roses, gypsophila and hydrangea on a headland, to a chapel doorway drenched in magenta bougainvillea, coral roses and gum, with a petal-strewn path. Native work features too — banksia, kangaroo paw and trailing amaranthus in the bridal bouquets. Blooms are seasonal by policy rather than by preference.

Ideal For

A Port Macquarie couple who wants the installation to be the statement. They list arbours and hanging installations alongside bouquets and buttonholes, and offer “any other event installation you can dream of.” It also suits anyone who cares where the flowers came from.

The Need-to-Knows

Wedding work is quoted through an enquiry form, and that form asks you to pick a budget band — the options run $1,000–$3,000, $3,000–$5,000, $5,000–$10,000 and $10,000+, which is a fair guide to the range they work in. The shop trades Tuesday to Friday 8am–4pm and Saturday mornings. Everyday delivery is free across Port Macquarie and Thrumster, and $10 to Wauchope, Lake Cathie and Bonny Hills.

Standout Feature

They publish where the flowers come from and why. “We forge close working relationships with boutique growers, small scale growers and local farms along the Mid North Coast and beyond… supports eco-friendly cultivation and growing practices within Australia.” Every stem is sourced within Australia. It is a sourcing policy rather than a marketing line, and it comes with an honest caveat about seasonality and substitutions.

Appointment Policy

Wedding and event enquiries go through a dedicated event form rather than the general contact details.
The form asks you to select a budget band up front so the quote can be pitched to it.
For anything else, email or call and text on the published mobile.
The shop is open Tuesday to Friday 8am to 4pm and Saturday 8am to noon, and you can call in.
