Meet The Thistle Bee Team | Karly, Admin & Social Media Manager

Hi Friends! I’m Karly, Thistle Bee’s Administrative Assistant and Social Media Manager! I also had the pleasure of being a former Thistle Bee bride back in 2021. 

I knew Katherine was the florist for us because of how organized her process was from the moment I filled out an inquiry form. She puts so much thought and effort into every part of her business and genuinely cares about each couple she works with. So when I saw this opportunity to work with her again, I jumped on it! Her passion for her work and the energy she brings to each wedding she does makes my job of promoting it easy! 

I get to learn so much about our couples throughout the planning process, so here is a little about me! When I’m not working, I love reading, staying active, and taking our golden retriever, Buddy, for walks. I live in the Hudson Valley, New York and there are plenty of hiking trails, wineries, and new restaurants to explore. (It’s the perfect place for a bachelorette party, so feel free to reach out if you need any recommendations!) 

Favorite Flower: Light Pink Peonies 

Go-to Vacation Spot: My favorite vacation spot is Long Beach Island, but we recently visited Antigua—the island was beautiful and everyone was so friendly! 

Favorite Book: The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine – I’ve read this multiple times and the twist in this book gets me every single time. I recommend this book to everyone! 

My favorite part about working with weddings: I love seeing the personal twist each couple puts into their day. The wedding industry is always changing and it’s so cool to see how couple finds the most creative way to add touches to their wedding. 

Advice for Thistle Bee Couples: Take a moment together at the reception and just look around the room. When will you have 150+ people that you care about in the same room ever again? They all traveled and made accommodations to come celebrate you and your spouse, take a moment to just soak it all in! It was cool to see all those people excited to celebrate us and we were so grateful to have them there!

If you have any questions about the planning process or need some book recommendations, don’t hesitate to reach out. We look forward to working with you and making the wedding of your dreams come true!
