Laurie did the flowers for my daughter's wedding and I get teary just thinking about them! We told her the vibe we were looking for and the color palette and it was like she read our minds! Laurie was always quick to respond to questions and has an amazing eye for colors, textures and design. Very very affordable. Our venue remarked how tidy she kept everything and how nice she was to work with. HIGHLY recommend read more

Special moments should be celebrated, and when flowers are required, your first choice should be Pistil Design. It's owned by a maestro of style, Laurie; and you need only give her an idea, and you will be served well. She is knowledgeable, kind, cheerful, and always willing to talk to you about all things flowers. I have been coming to Pistil Design for years now, and her new location in Ballard is a perfect spot to gather yourself when you need flowers. It's a store, but it's also an inviting workshop and pulls you inward. The selection is seasonal; therefore, freshness is guaranteed. I never know what I want and honestly, flowers are things that you need to have a knack for, but she knows how to match the flower to the right person or occasion. This was Valentines, and roses are always good, but I wanted something different, something non-traditional that would convey the love for my wife. Having Laurie meant I could rest easy. When the day came, I walked in, and she presented to me a beautiful bouquet of flowers which captured the winter and spring colors, something very Pacific Northwest, yet with all the love and passion that one could expect. Pistil Design exceeds every one of my expectations, and I would recommend that you give her a call, and share your vision/needs. She will transcend them, and put a smile on your face. read more

We recently has some flowers delivered from Pistil and they are gorgeous. We did have a little problem with the original order- but Laurie stepped in and made things right (even after we told her not to worry about it). Customer service is clearly the focus as Pistil- and it's nice to have a local business who truly cares about how happy their customers are. I would use Pistil again purely because I know that if the order falls short of expectations in any way- they will make it right in a second. Very impressive! read more

Pistil Design - Beautiful bouquet for my sister's Birthday - Florists Near Me

Everything I have purchased for an event, for myself and for recuperating friends has caused people to stop, take notice and admire. So when a co-worker's mother recently passed, I gave Laurie creative license to do what she does best. I just received this email from our grieving co-worker: The flowers, which arrived yesterday when I arrived back in Seattle, are breathtaking--so unique and unlike any arrangement I've seen (I have been moving them from room to room in my house so I can see them where I eat, where I sleep, etc.! You know I am a flower-lover!) Laurie...Thank you for conveying our feelings with your creations! read more

Great little shop! Called last minute for some flowers to take to a house warming party. Love supporting small business and these guys have great flowers for a nice price. Tell them your budget and they will make something beautiful. Lots of dinner parties this summer so ill be stopping here more for hostess presents. Vase looks like ones I own from pottery barn. 5 stars. Update... I've since used the online service to send flowers to friends around town and have also dropped my own vessels off for filling to enjoy in my own home. Such a talented owner! read more

I've used pistil design a handful of times. My mom and grandma, both master gardeners, were impressed with the depth and composition. Plus they thought I was the best son ever. Works every time. read more

Laurie from Pistil Design's is AMAZING. The moment I saw one of her floral arrangements a friend got for her birthday I knew I wanted her to do the floral for my wedding. My husband and I are both pretty specific in our floral taste, we were doing long king's table for our wedding of about 170 people at Sodo Park and wanted our flowers to compliment the evening. We got together with Laurie and talked through what we were envisioning for the arrangements. We didn't want anything that would look too placed and staged, instead we wanted something that would flow with the table and had a natural element. Laurie blew our mind with what she came up with! She had multiple pieces of clear lucite cut the length of the 3 rows of tables and ultimately built one of the most amazing floral installation's I have ever seen the day of our wedding. Everyone was talking about the flowers and how beautiful they were. It really was a piece of art! Laurie just has an amazing eye, she is super kind and totally wants to produce what you envisioned. We LOVED her so much!! read more

Pistil is a must! Top notch little floral shop! I'd been eyeing this plane on the corner of Queen Anne Ave since I moved here last fall. Drive or ride by it every single day and always enjoy the cute window decor. Friday I finally went in and I'm so happy I did! I've been thinking about getting a plant for months and I finally did! Laurie is so sweet, is an expert!, and fixed me right up. The shop is adorable, lots of options, and I found the perfect plant for my place, got a perfectly fitting pot to put it in, and am beyond happy with my purchase! I left knowing how to take care of it and am crossing my fingers he stays alive! If not...I'll go see Laurie for my next plant! It's priced for Queen Anne but I also like shopping local so I was ok with what I paid. read more

I recently ordered a boutonniere and flower girl crown for my wedding. Laurie at Pistil Design was easy to work with and the prices were very fair, especially since she doesn't do the typical cookie-cutter type of arrangements. I chose PIstil as it's very close to where I live. Also, I was quite impressed with the portfolio on their website. My order was very small, but I wanted something really unique and pretty, and I had a hunch that this was the florist to use. However, about a week after I placed my order, I saw that the shop had moved! No worries, though, because Laurie delivered the flowers to me the evening before my wedding. The flowers were GORGEOUS. The flower girl crown was the talk of the wedding; it was absolutely beautiful. If I need flowers again, I'll absolutely use Pistil Design. Highly recommended! read more

Yesterday, I was the lucky recipient of a Pistil Design arrangement. I have a background in design and a floral license so I am almost always disappointed in delivery flowers. This was a huge exception and surprise. The choice of flowers, color selection and arrangement are exquisite. I have found my new favorite place! Chris D. read more

Pistil has impeccable service and always creates unique and stunning arrangements! If you had 10 stars, I would highlight those in a hot minute for this woman owned and amazing local business. read more

I'm a long time customer of Laurie's; she provided all the flowers for my wedding 12 years ago, she made arrangements for the front counter of my retail store, and is now designing the centerpieces for an event I'm organizing in a couple weeks. When you find an artist you can trust, has impeccable taste, understands the proper aesthetics for any given situation, and only needs the slightest bit of direction to "get" what I'm after... you stick with her. I love consistency, and Laurie's designs have always been extremely well-received. read more

Called to get a valentine's day arrangement of some sort. Informed I could only buy their set arrangements starting at $65 PLUS $10 deliver PLUS 9.5% tax. Asked if I could just have something made up I was brusquely informed not gonna happen. So much for getting what YOU want. Rather pathetic IMHO. read more

My friends sent me flowers yesterday for my birthday. The florist is a new place on Queen Anne, Pistil Design. The arrangement was so beautiful, the kind you wish for when you send or receive flowers! The guy who delivered them was charming and funny. I am so glad to have a new small business like this on Queen Anne, it is getting a little depressing up here with so many empty storefronts! read more

As an event producer, I am always on the lookout for great vendor partners. Over the past couple of years, I had been frequenting Ballard Blossom, however I was in search of a change, something fresh and unique, and I found it with Laurie at Pistil Design! I knew from the images on her website that she produced beautiful product, but I was even more impressed when she took our ideas for 3 different high-end client events, with 3 different themes and all within the timeframe of 2 weeks and presented us with the perfect enhancements for each production. Going into her store is also a fun experience. There's always something I see that I must have in my home. Check out the new owl pillows. Stunning. Thank you Laurie! We will see you soon! read more

I love Laurie and the magical store she has created here. Fragrant, magical, and wonderful service.

I walked in to buy flowers randomly off the street. The owner put together a lovely arrangement. She was very kind.

Saw the 2 previous reviews so I ordered from them. Laurie explained that a dozen roses from here would be more elaborate than from most florists, and the price was similar, so I went for it. My wife received the flowers a few hours later and was extremely impressed, posted pictures on Facebook and said nice things about me!!!! What more could I ask for? Oh, yeah, I think I'll be OK in that department, too! =-} read more

UPDATE: I decided to revise my review after the great customer service I received from Laurie at Pistil Design. I emailed Laurie to let her know about my disappointment in the flowers not lasting more than two days; she immediately responded, apologized and offered to replace the flowers. While the flowers did not live up to expectations, the level of customer service did. Fingers crossed the next batch of flowers will be better. I will post an update on how long they lasted. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I really like supporting my local community and business owners, so I was pretty disappointed when the flowers I ordered on Wednesday and had delivered on Thursday were dead by Saturday -They barely lasted two days. I would expect more after paying $98. The ordering process was quite simple as I was able to order on line and the flowers looked beautiful upon arrival, they just did not last long enough (and yes we made sure they had water in them). I will not be using Pistil design in the future. read more

While I haven't yet had a specific need to place an order myself, my out-of-state mother regularly orders flowers for me through Pistil Design given their close proximity to my home and her great experience with this shop. Every single arrangement that has arrived for me has been absolutely beautiful, as well as unique and unexpected. According to my mother because she is ordering over the phone, she usually gives a rough idea of the occasion and the dollar amount she'd like to spend, but then gives the shop the ability to have creative license in their design. Again, I've never been disappointed with the arrangements and they've always arrived thoughtfully and carefully packaged. The next floral order I need to make in town will absolutely be done through Pistil Design. Great work! read more

I walked in and asked for a bouquet for a funeral. I had a short timeline and was prepared to go elsewhere if it was too short of notice. Laurie arranged a gorgeous white bouquet for me in just a few short minutes. I love her shop; it is so tasteful and sweet. She is talented and her bouquets are gorgeous. Thank you! read more

Fabulous flower shop. Valerie Easton wrote about it in the Seattle times yesterday so I went and bought 3 plants to bring springtime into my condo. Friendly,knowledgeable owner. She is a king county master gardener too. Talk about artistic flower arrangements! These are to die for! I already told my husband that this is who I want to make me an arrangement for valentines day. Guys...you all must go here to get your gal an amazing bouquet or arrangement, read more

I went into Pistils for a special Family Event and I needed a unique gift with flowere and WOW they were so helpful. Thank YOU!!!

I wanted to support a local florist for a birthday bouquet delivery and what a disaster. Paid $60 for a very small arrangement with pale roses with brown edges...and wilted white extras. I couldn't believe it when my wife brought it home from work. I was embarrassed and angry. Don't make my mistake avoid Pistil Design at all costs. read more

I live on the east coast and wanted to send a dear friend something beautiful to help bring some light during a very difficult time of year. I found Pistil on Yelp and placed the order through their website. Only after receiving a text from my friend that the flowers were absolutely gorgeous did I happen to notice she lives waaay outside their normal delivery area. Laurie and Pistil went above and beyond, without so much as a peep to let me know they were doing so. I'm super appreciative, awesome service and such beautiful work. read more

Pistil's flower arrangements are classic and unique, starting with the container. If you like the standard market or Whole Foods bouquets, you may not appreciate these compact, tasteful works of art. I received one this week and unfortunately, the Hydrangeas wilted after a day or so, possibly from my lack of watering expertise. Laurie replaced not only the hydrangeas but also fixed up the entire bouquet. Great service, Elaine read more

Found Laurie when searching on Yelp. Such good reviews I decided to give her a try and am so happy I did. The flowers were gorgeous. So different from what you would get a regular florist. I sent the flowers to my sister at work and that she uses them for all work functions. I have ordered from Pistil Designs several times since and have never been disappointed. I highly highly recommend them. read more

I received a gift of flowers from Pistil, and was thrilled with how beautiful and unique the arrangement was. I will definitely use them for my own flower orders in the future!! read more

Pistil created my bridal bouquet and wedding flowers. They were all exquisite and I received many compliments. True artistry. I highly recommend Pistil. read more

I don't usually shop at flower boutiques because they are usually overpriced, stuffy and have flowers that are fit to only take to your grandmother. However, I decided to go into this one because it just opened across the street from my apartment building and looked very brightly lit inside and had some really beautiful flowers. It also has a modern look to it, with trendy flowers you don't see at many places. I wanted to start off with something small and practical for my studio and found a cute plant. The owner of the store is very knowledgeable about the plants and flowers in her shop and had my concern of worrying that I would over/under water the plant top of mind (great listener!). She also somehow knew what kind of style I liked and suggested a very modern-looking stone-like pot for the aloe vera plant. The prices are not outrageous and very reasonable (unlike many other flower shops). I know I will be a frequent customer! read more
