Bristol
Thistle & Vine
A bucket a week, whatever the market is doing.
A two-person studio running weekly accounts for shops, studios and offices in Bristol. One bucket or two, split on the premises, delivered before the doors open and bought that morning.
- Standing accounts are delivered Tuesdays and Fridays, before opening
- Autumn work through September – November; outside that the shop substitutes rather than stalls
- Invoiced monthly, and paused for any week with a word
- The round is Bristol only: it is done before the shop opens
Standing accounts
By size and by week
An account is a size and a rhythm, not a design. The shop buys what is standing that morning and splits it the way your rooms need it, and a week you do not want is a week you do not pay for.
Weekly · one bucket
The weekly bucket
One bucket of whatever the market gave that morning, split into two arrangements on the premises: a reception and a desk, or two rooms.
Weekly · two buckets
Two buckets, weekly
A hallway and a boardroom, or one long run for a counter. Same mix, split where you want it, and both buckets cut to the room they are going in.
Fortnightly · one bucket
The fortnightly account
One bucket every other week, with the stems cut long so the second week still stands up rather than being cleared two days early.

Kind words
What clients say
“The same bucket every Tuesday for four years. Two arrangements for the reception and one for the desk, and nobody here has had to think about flowers since.”
“We asked for whatever is good that week and that is exactly what arrives. It has never once looked like the same arrangement twice.”
“They swap a stem out when we ask and the invoice still matches the count. That is all a small shop needs from an account.”
Questions
Before you write
Whatever the market is giving that morning, split the way your rooms need it. We will always take a note of what you would rather not have, and we will not promise a particular flower — the account is for a bucket of what is standing, not for a list off a price sheet.
