Have a Thistle Farms Wedding
We know that planning all the details of a wedding can be difficult. Our straightforward solutions for providing wedding favors and gifts for your guests will make it very easy to give a meaningful hand-made item to the people you love.
All of Thistle Farms natural products are hand-made by women who have survived violence, prostitution and addiction. As you talk to Carolyn (our wedding gift coordinator) about the options we can provide, consider that each unique product is created and packaged by a woman who is putting love into it for your special day. Earth-friendly and budget-conscious, these thoughtful gifts will show your wedding guests you're beginning your new life while helping women begin theirs...
