Not that Nancy needs any additional rave reviews because she is so clearly known to be fabulous, but I can't help but join her fanbase! I was planning a last-minute wedding and of course intended it to be casual, low-key event, and a (very tale...nted) friend was planning to do the flowers. However, Nancy was the florist for my sister's wedding and did such an amazing job (let's just say friends and families talked about it for years to follow), my mom insisted that we hire Nancy. The first signs of Nancy's dedication--and kind, warm, generous spirit-- was that she had actually given her staff that weekend off but agreed to the job, AND was willing to travel to Lake Tahoe for it. She was also amazing at respecting my preferences despite my mom having somewhat of a different vision. Just after a couple conversations, I could tell Nancy understood me, so I trusted her experience and talent to do whatever she wanted--and the result blew me away!
Perhaps the only downside to having Nancy is that the flowers may have upstaged me as the bride! Guests were stunned by how gorgeous the flowers and arrangements were--how many times did I hear, "Congratulations! You look beautiful! And your flowers are amazing!!!" :) The flowers singlehandedly turned my wedding from casual to classy in a way that I didn't think was possible. Nancy managed to stay true to the more rustic theme, but put a certain glow and sparkle into the decor that made everything magical. In addition to what she had planned, after arriving at the location and seeing the space, she added special unique touches that only a true artist can do. My wedding coordinator said that she had never seen a florist show so much dedication and stay so long at a site to make sure every detail was attended to. Truly, everything was perfect.
So, once again, mom was right! Choosing Nancy was one of the best decisions I could have made. I feel incredibly fortunate that she was so generously willing to accommodate a last-minute destination wedding. She made our wedding day more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!
