A Schoolhouse Garden

thorough, detail oriented, throughout the process of finalizing our decisions for our big day. We could not have chosen a better Florist to work with for our wedding, Nancy exceeded all expectations! We highly recommend her and her team.

ancy created a mood board for us and pulled lots of options of vases for us to rent and use for the wedding. The arrangements were unique and really matched our theme of an elevated barn wedding. They also designed floral arrangements for us for an archway, which were beautiful and really set the stage for the ceremony. She also was able to provide us with baskets for the flower girls and had different options and sizes for us to use. She also was flexible on coming early to get our photographer the lay flat flowers and chased down our parents to get them their flowers before the wedding. Nancy was also very thoughtful in how early to use my bouquet for pictures to ensure that it was fresh for the ceremony. I would highly recommend booking Schoolhouse Garden for your wedding!

t design for our wedding. She was so great to work with and promptly responded to communications. All of our guests commented on how beautiful our reception décor was. Nancy and her team did a fantastic job!

d wish I had preserved it SO BADLY. She was communicative, organized, detail-oriented, and so thorough. She really helped keep things on track during our wedding day and timeline, and was able to pivot when we had to make a last minute rain plan decision. Please, do yourself a favor and hire Nancy immediately for your wedding day florals. She is the best in Vermont!

gn proposal, listened to every piece of feedback, and incorporated every inspiration image we sent throughout the months of working together. At the same time that they were receptive to direction, they were also so generative with their ideas and had tremendous vision to bring them all to reality. One of the best parts for me is that they always seemed excited about working together and brought such care and attention to detail to every interaction. The results were beyond words and our wildest imaginations! The florals truly took my breath away and were my favorite element of the wedding. Thanks to Nancy and her team for making it happen! I could not recommend them more highly.

She’s very communicative, and knows her craft.

ind. After some initial communications and sharing a Pinterest board, Nancy really got a sense of what I wanted the day to feel and look like. She crafted beautiful bouquets for me and my bridesmaids and great boutonnières for all the guys. My bouquet even included fall leaves! One of my favorite things, though, was the gorgeous arch she created on the gazebo where we got married. It looked so natural and continued to look fresh and lovely through the next day. Couldn’t have asked for better flowers and a more wonderful florist at such a reasonable price.

so beautiful, and even made dried floral bouquets out of them!

n and completely put me at ease. She is a true expert and knew exactly how to make my ideas come to life. Highly recommend working with them!

about. I'd say my only two elements that may have given this a 4.5 in my mind were that 1) some of the areas ended up looking a little sparse because the extra decore flowers ended up clumped in certain focal points which we hadn't reviewed 2) we had to get some replacement blooms for some accent flowers (things happen) and we hadn't talked about exactly what those would be and I wasn't digging the color those came out as.

rtbeat!

er communication throughout the process was amazing.

and she handled them efficiently and gracefully. She was able to work seamlessly with us through a crazy busy wedding season and easily made changes for us over the 2 years of wedding planning. She knew our venue (The Lodge at Spruce Peak) so well it made our whole layout of the room run perfectly.

sed with Nancy’s professionalism, attention to detail, warmth, and willingness to work within our budget. Nancy scrolled through millions of my “pins” to create a color palette to perfectly complement our Killington Peak Wedding Ceremony and Reception. Low and behold, like most 2020 wedding couples Andrew and ended up having to postpone our wedding twice. When we were finally able to have our formal wedding ceremony and reception in August 2021 our guests were amazed by the natural beauty and superior quality of Nancy’s tablescapes, arbor décor, and bouquets. Nancy is not just a florist, she is a designer. Andrew and I also really appreciated Nancy’s patience in working with us as we struggled to find a time when it would be safe and practical to have our full wedding ceremony. Andrew and I would sincerely recommend Nancy and A Schoolhouse Garden to any couple looking to enhance the natural beauty of their venue, and for couples who value hard work, and exceptional floral designs that will not break their wedding budget.

edding color scheme and details of our outfits. The results were incredible! We were thrilled when our flowers were delivered and they perfectly matched our color scheme. The bouquet for the bride was stunning and perfectly complemented the splashes of color on her dress. The matching boutonnière for the other spouse was beautiful and looked great with their tie and pocket square. We were so happy with how the flowers turned out with minimal direction from us.

Nancy took those ideas and ran with them. She created a winter wedding wonderland filled with gorgeous, unique, seasonal greenery and florals. She completely transformed the church, venue, and the flower girl crown, bouquets and boutonnières were stunningly breathtaking. EVERY guest was blown away by the beauty of the Ponds, cake, boutonnières, crown and bouquets! Nancy took my vision and made it into a reality with her professionalism and incredible art. She’s everything you’d want in a wedding florist! Nancy- we are forever grateful and I cannot wait to share the pictures.

essional and decisive- just let her do her thing! You will not be disappointed! Our flowers were beautiful - muted and lush, just like I envisioned. 10/10 highly recommend!

oral design she created for our daughter’s wedding was absolutely magical. She took my daughter’s vague ideas about what she wanted and translated them into beauty around every corner that surprised and delighted us. Beyond that, Nancy is wonderful to work with - responsive, friendly, smart and thoroughly professional. So take the time you would have spent interviewing florists and spend it looking for the perfect dress. 😉

e-consultation meeting with her where we talked colors and inspiration, and from there, she really blew it out of the water. Her presentation, attention to detail, and overall attitude was amazing to work with. Highly recommend Nancy and A Schoolhouse Garden!!!!!

generous. She gave me advice and guidance on more than just flowers. I can't say enough good things about her!

rangements, to the adorable flower collar for our Golden Retriever - we couldn't have been happier. Nancy and her team are professional, prompt, responsive, kind, flexible, and a delight to work with. I highly recommend using them for any event!

looking for a florist in the Waitsfield VT area.

istens to every detail and takes the vision of the couple to the next level! She and her staff were wonderful!

things we hadn’t even thought about. She helped us determine what would work best with our budget and on the day-of, she and her team arrived extra early to ensure our center pieces were perfectly arranged to accommodate our family-style dinner. Highly recommend!

ng about flowers and flower design, so it was such a relief to hire Nancy and experience how professional, knowledgeable, and talented she is! I was able to put my total trust in her and it all came out perfect!

orry about set up on the day of which was great. Highly recommend!!!

me in handy on many occasions as we were planning the details of the wedding. The day of the event everything was completely seamless. Our ceremony site decorations were exquisite. The staff stayed until after the ceremony so that they could move some of a pieces from the ceremony site to the reception space. The flowers and vessels were all absolutely beautiful! They even brought a cloth the blot the bottom of my bouquet so that I wouldn't get water drips on my dress. I would highly recommend Nancy and her team!

efinitely recommend them!

happier.

through color, texture, and design in a very thoughtful way - she really made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with, which I know is not the case! We also asked her to do our dessert table which looked perfect. Overall the flowers were exactly what we wanted and everything looked amazing!! I would highly recommend booking them!

dding. Her shop is adorable, so make sure to stop by and see it! Nancy was recommended by my coordinator Becky, at the Inn at Round Barn Farms. Nancy was very familiar with the venue and just enhanced the natural beauty of the space.

by A Schoolhouse Garden, it was turned into a fairytale. My bouquet literally brought me to tears. It was absolutely gorgeous. The dozen of pictures I sent from pinterest and the dozens of conversations we had about what I envisioned, came true in the most breathtaking way. Everything was perfect. Arbor that was decorated from the ceremony, and the flowers and chandeliers and candles at the reception were just stunning. My guests days later, were still talking about the Flowers. It was actually one of the first thing said after Congrats, was OMG, the flowers Ranee. My God, they were so gorgeous. You know they were stunning when guests are posting on their Facebook Pictures of their Table or My Head Table. People were in awe! I'm so happy I chose them. Made my day and the pictures I now have forever, perfect. Thanks Nancy and Staff....

without me having to say a single thing. Our ceremony and reception decor was perfect, my flowers and the flowers for our bridal party were perfect. Nancy was sweet and reassuring on the phone and an absolute professional. Highly recommended!

ttle about flower varieties, Nancy's attention to detail and creative process was perfect for my vision. I provided magazine clippings and pinterest pictures and Nancy created exactly what I was envisioning while staying within our budget. Everything was beautiful! I highly recommend A Schoolhouse Garden.

houghtful questions, examples, and creative ideas. She is so professional and has so much experience that we knew within minutes of meeting her that we trusted her to craft beautiful pieces that perfectly reflected us and our style better than we could have dreamed — and she did!! All our guests (and our photographer!) commented on how beautiful the arrangements were. Thank you, Nancy, for your gorgeous work!

nts to help bring all the different elements to life and A Schoolhouse Garden made it all happen. We came in with a low budget and no real definitive ideas but from the very beginning, Nancy and the whole ASG team was willing to work with within our price range, bring ideas forward, help us determine what was important and was flexible to some last minute additions/changes. Both before the wedding and on the day, one conversation with ASG made us feel like it was one less thing to worry about, and that's all we could ask for. We couldn't recommend them enough.

esigns I liked and she turned my ideas into a dream come true. Every floral detail was perfect. Nancy is exceptional at what she does. I felt so confident she was the perfect choice within minutes of our first consultation together. She knew what to ask and how to help me turn my vision into reality. Thank you Nancy for making our day so incredible!

her and her team; they were our first choice when we were looking for florists. Nancy was intuitive, respectful, and brilliant to work with. She worked with us throughout our planning process to help actualize our vision. Her familiarity with our venue also complemented our experience as she was able to support us in making decision about what we needed from previous weddings she had done at the barn. We did not have a huge budget for flowers but what A Schoolhouse Garden was able to do with our budget was incredible. The flower arrangements were stunning and deeply reflective of our vision and discussions. We received many compliments on them and thoroughly enjoyed them for a week after the wedding!

sibly have been more beautiful. We also felt very taken care of throughout the entire process; any stress/worry before meeting with Nancy was quickly resolved because she really truly is an expert; you can put all of your trust into A Schoolhouse Garden to make your dream wedding a reality! No hesitation whatsoever to recommend A Schoolhouse Garden, we would work with them again in a heartbeat!

on for flowers, as we didn't even know where to start! They were very flexible with us, providing several different quotes for different flower options as we tried to determine what we wanted and what we could afford. On the day of the flowers were stunningly beautiful and the staff that they sent to set up were very helpful and attentive. They complimented our handmade centerpieces with moss and single blooms in small vases, making sure everything was set up perfectly so we didn't have to worry! They also made the effort to seek us out the day after to give us all of the left over flowers in neat arrangements so that our close friends and family could take home a piece of the day. I'd highly recommend A Schoolhouse Garden to anyone!

amazing job with everything. From bouquets to decorating the barn to ceremony flowers! I look at pictures and it is like she was able to see my dreams and make them reality! Nancy is so easy to work with and even though she was going through some personal things during our planning process, made herself available to talk things over. You can truly see all of the love and dedication Nancy and her team put into their work.

ces, ceremony flowers/arbor and flowers for the reception, and hair flowers. They all had such amazing attention to detail and great taste. The flowers were beautiful, exactly what I wanted. So lovely to work with and highly recommend!
