Hi there!

I’m Nicole Fisher, owner of Thistle & Poppy Floral Designs. I live in Walnut Creek in the Bay Area of California with my wonderful husband, Josh, and my dog, Mila. Flowers have brought joy to me throughout my life, even back in elementary school when I carefully crafted flower crowns and bracelets with the daisy weeds from our kickball field.

My love of florals evolved when I read the book “The Language of Flowers” by Vanessa Diffenbaugh and learned the meanings of different blooms. I was enthralled by the idea of communicating through the bouquets I could create.

In college, I took a floral design class that ultimately sealed my dream of creating art through flowers. The endless options of arrangements and styles made me feel like the possibilities were infinite when I had some snips and stems in my hand.

Throughout the years, I’ve learned that not only the end creation of a design will bring people happiness, but so will the process of working with flowers. That’s why I am passionate about not only providing both floral designs for your special events but also creating events for anyone to learn how to work with flowers and build a creation of their own.

Whether you are looking for an arrangement as a gift, a floral designer for your wedding or event, or simply want to get together with some friends to get your hands on some fun flowers, I would be honored to be a part of your vision.

I look forward to the possibility of working together. Feel free to drop me a message and we can collaborate on bringing your vision to life.
