We were so fortunate to have a personal recommendation that led us to Nancy Bishop Floral Design. Nancy is a true artist in her work, but in our eyes what sets her apart is the care she takes in creating decor that truly brings to life the vis...
ion of her client. Art is, after all, a deeply personal experience, and Nancy was simply perfect at internalizing our vision and turning it into reality. She listened patiently and carefully as we rambled on about our tastes and style, our likes and dislikes, and the feel and ambience we envisioned for our reception.
Planning a wedding during a pandemic is a bit of a chaotic affair, and so we more or less handed over the reigns to Nancy when it came to the final decisions about what to decorate with and where to put it. We essentially told her, "you know the feeling we want, do whatever you want with it!" and she knocked it out of the ballpark! We both understand the value of a professional's experience, and Nancy is as professional as it gets. We wouldn't have changed a thing about the decor for our wedding day and we'd recommend Nancy to anyone without reservation.

uch that I would have moved the wedding date if she had not been available! That’s how incredible her work is. Before getting engaged I really had no opinions on what I wanted my future wedding to look like, but the one thing I did know was that the flowers had to be beautiful and memorable. I love flowers. Most of the things I own: clothing, artwork, mugs and dishes (yes please feel empathetic for my husband here) are covered in flowers. Nancy and her team made all of my flower dreams come true and then some! She has such an exquisite natural sense of beautiful taste, and all of her suggestions worked perfectly with the end result. I was completely confident that even if some disaster happened last minute and none of the flowers that I had wanted came in (luckily this didn’t happen!), that Nancy would use her magic and everything would look stunning. She left no detail undiscussed, but she was also very patient and didn’t overwhelm me with decisions. I can’t tell you how many compliments I have received on how amazing our flowers looked for the wedding. Not to be forgotten, with all of these works of art in flowers that she creates, she is astoundingly reasonably priced and offers great ideas with how to make your vision work for your budget. My husband and our families are forever grateful to Nancy and her team for all of the work they did to make our wedding day so beautiful and memorable!

studio and showed us how she could make our vision become a reality. We left that day knowing we made the right choice.
Nancy kept us completely in the loop and anytime we had an idea or a thought she was always around to answer our call or email. Any changes we wanted she was happy to make and her flexibility to adapt greatly lessened what could have been the most stressful part of the planning process.
On our wedding day when we saw the Equinox Pond decorated we were 100% blown away. There it was in all its glory, everything we wanted but just couldn't quite articulate, Nancy had created it.
A month later as I am writing this review I am thinking back to the soft, natural bouquets Nancy put together. I see the table with the burlap runner covered in our succulent favors. The calligraphy and painting on each individual name stick her colleague Sue so beautifully created. The rows are chairs that at their ends had bottles on stakes full of lively purples and greens. The perfect tussie mussies my grandmothers held as they served as flower girls. The elegant floral crown that our niece wore as she brought us our rings. Rings placed gently atop a small circlet of tree covered in moss and flowers.
Nancy not only captured our vision but she made an already beautiful venue more beautiful because of her immense knowledge of design. Her passion for what she does show through in her work. Like i said at the beginning if there was a 6th star we would give it.
