How Olive Thyme Tells Your Love Story through Florals

In the heart of San Antonio’s vibrant downtown, Olive Thyme is redefining what it means to tell your love story through flowers. This isn’t your typical floral experience, owner and floral artist Nicole behind Olive Thyme, approaches each arrangement as a narrative waiting to unfold. Translating emotions, memories, and moments into stunning botanical compositions that speak volumes without saying a word.

What sets Olive Thyme apart is their personal approach to floral design. Every petal, every stem, every color choice is intentional, creating bespoke arrangements that feel less like decorations and more like visual artistry. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or dreaming of a show-stopping wedding installation, Olive Thyme transforms flowers into stories you can see, touch, and remember forever.

Full-Service Floral Design That Tells Your Story

Full-Service Weddings

At the core of Olive Thyme’s philosophy is the belief that flowers should do more than look beautiful, they should mean something. Through comprehensive full-service wedding florals, Olive Thyme handles everything from initial concept to final installation, ensuring your wedding day blooms are as seamless as they are stunning.

The process begins with an in-depth consultation where the team takes time to understand your story: how you met, what moves you, the little details that make your relationship uniquely yours. These conversations become the inspiration for custom floral designs that reflect your personality and journey. From cascading bridal bouquets featuring unexpected textures to ceremony installations that create unforgettable backdrops, every arrangement is crafted with artistic vision and technical expertise.

Full-service means Olive Thyme manages all the logistics; delivery, setup, and breakdown so you can focus on celebrating. The result is a cohesive floral story that weaves through your entire celebration, from personal flowers to reception centerpieces to statement installations that wow your guests.

Showers, Engagement Dinners & Private Celebrations

Beyond wedding day florals, Olive Thyme brings the same level of artistry and attention to all the special moments leading up to your big day—and beyond. Whether you’re hosting a bridal shower, engagement dinner, rehearsal dinner, or intimate private party, these smaller celebrations deserve beautiful flowers that set the perfect tone.

From elegant centerpieces to styled tablescapes, Olive Thyme creates cohesive floral designs that complement your event’s theme and atmosphere. These occasions are opportunities to tell your story in a more intimate setting, and the florals should reflect that warmth and personality.

Flexible Options for Every Couple

Olive Thyme understands that every couple has different needs, budgets, and preferences when it comes to their wedding florals. That’s why they offer flexible service options that maintain the same story-driven, bespoke design approach while giving you the level of involvement that feels right for you.

Floral Backdrop Sessions: A Photographer’s Dream

One of Olive Thyme’s most innovative offerings brings the magic of fresh florals to your photo sessions through stunning backdrop rentals available at their downtown studio. These aren’t static installations, they’re living, breathing works of art featuring fresh flowers arranged into gorgeous backdrops that transform any shoot into something extraordinary.

Available to rent by the hour, these “Backdrop Pop-ups” (as they’re advertised on Instagram) feature seasonal blooms and thoughtful compositions that photograph beautifully. Each backdrop remains available for 48–72 hours, giving photographers and clients flexibility in scheduling their sessions. They’ve become particularly popular for engagement shoots, but they’re equally perfect for bridal portraits, boudoir photography, content creation, or any occasion that deserves an elevated aesthetic.

The backdrops change regularly, showcasing different color palettes, textures, and seasonal flowers, so there’s always something fresh and inspiring to choose from. Keep an eye on their Instagram @olivethyme to see when new Backdrop Pop-ups are available and secure your spot to shoot against these ethereal floral masterpieces.

Whether you’re planning a full-scale wedding with comprehensive floral design, seeking bespoke arrangements for an intimate celebration, or need the perfect backdrop for a photo session, Olive Thyme offers something truly special. This is floral design with intention, creativity, and heart!
