Centerpiece Styles | Fancy Florals by Nancy (2024)

Nancy was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is punctual, thorough and very helpful!! I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to articulate my vision to Nancy, but she was able to pick up what I wanted by a short conversation and just a couple pictures. When I saw the flowers on our wedding day I was beyond happy. The bouquets, flower crown, corsages, boutonnieres, ceremony/reception décor, etc. were all beautiful and perfect. I couldn’t have pictured any better!! She had everything there and ready, as she said she would. She even helped me plan my rental drop off so it would be convenient for us!! Nancy is AMAZING at her craft…she will not disappoint! Thank you for everything, Nancy!!
