Laurie Thoma, Owner & Lead Designer

Purple Tulip Design is the result of over 30 years of floral design experience, a beautiful friendship, a pipe dream, and a divine appointment.  I have always loved plants and flowers. At 18, I worked at a little plant nursery with a little flower counter. My boss was getting married, and he wanted us all to help with his flowers. We had no clue, so we went to the library to check out books on wedding flowers and figured it out; It was lovely and I was hooked! I worked in a couple of retail flower shops through and after college for 10 or so years combined and operated loosely under the name of Purple Tulip Design on the side. I loved creating unique and affordable weddings for my friends, and meaningful memorial flowers for my family. In January of 2023, I was offered an opportunity to adopt the business partners and clients of Flowers From the Farm, a well established and trusted flower business in Windsor, Colorado. We took a leap of faith and said, "Yes" to this new adventure and made Purple Tulip Design official and incorporated as an LLC. 

My husband said, "I guess we are building a shop", so stay tunned for construction updates!

I have to thank my boys too, as they have been delivery drivers, editors, social media managers, etc.  I feel so blessed to be living out a dream that I kinda forgot I was dreaming.
