Laurie Thoma, Owner & Designer

Purple Tulip Design is the result of over 30 years of floral design experience, a beautiful friendship 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. I had no clue what I was doing, my job was to water and deadhead the petunias and geraniums. So I made a trip to the library to check out books on wedding flowers and figured it out; It was lovely and I was hooked! I worked in retail 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.  One is my social media guru, and the other is my editor.  I am SO blessed!
