    Beautiful Job!

    Nancy and Julia did a wonderful job with our florals. Nancy was so attentive and flexible throughout the planning process and was able to prioritize our budget to create the perfect 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!

    An incredible florist!!

    Nancy and her team are extraordinary! They were creative, communicative, and so incredibly fun to work with. They were mindful of our budget, so incredibly thoughtful with the design 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.

    Exceeded All Expectations!

    Nancy and her team were phenomenal from start to finish. She surprised me with her level of service throughout the entire process. Firstly, she's obviously an expert in her field and was extremely helpful in developing our vision for florals for our wedding. She guided me towards some decisions based on her knowledge and experience, which made the process much smoother. Not only that, but after our long covid delay, she let me entirely change the vision and then somehow absolutely nailed the aesthetic after just a single phone call! Two giant bonuses that demonstrate the level of service Nancy and her team provide: First, Julia coordinated with the bridal party in order to affix boutonnieres onto the men's suits at the appropriate time while getting ready. Such an undervalued service!! After spending too long struggling and watching videos at our sibling's recent wedding, this was major! Second, the team returned after our reception to re-create bouquets out of all of our centerpieces, which were placed throughout our brunch for decor and for guests to take home with them. The bouquets were stunning and our friends and family within driving distance were totally thrilled. (I even got texts with photos over a week later with people exclaiming how impressed they were that the bouquets were lasting so long!) We thought everything was very reasonably priced for extremely high quality work and would recommend A Schoolhouse Garden to anyone and everyone!

    Made my vision come to life!

    Nancy was so easy to work with and made our day look even better than how I envisioned it! My mom and I had a lot of questions and requests when it came to the flowers and design, 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.

    Incredible Florist

    From the beginning to the end, Nancy and her team were professional, accommodating and truly visionaries. I knew the vibe I wanted to capture in the mood and feeling of the day and 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.

    They will bring your vision to life!

    Working with Nancy was such a pleasure. She was always so responsive, willing to give you her opinion if you wanted it, and also willing to hear out your ideas and make suggestions to bring them to life. She literally made our wedding pinterest worthy! We wanted a drapery style ceremony setup with greenery, and she absolutely nailed it. The ceremony looked so dreamy! We also wanted a greenery chandelier above the dance floor in our clear top tent, and she made this a perfect centerpiece of the event. She even was willing to work with one of my DIY ideas (hand made copper disco ball, hand made copper vases for the tables) within her work. She did a perfect job incorporating my ideas with her style and suggestions, and it couldn't have come out better! (attached photo credits to Savannah Brown Photography)

    Flawless execution on a tight budget!

    Nancy is a true artist! My mom and I came to her with a modest budget and she made every dollar count, which we were so appreciative of. Working with her was easy - she's very professional and decisive- just let her do her thing! You will not be disappointed! Our flowers were beautiful - muted and lush, just like I envisioned.

    Nancy is Brilliant!

    Nancy is amazing! She made my wedding dreams come true. I had a design tha tthe venue had never executed before, and Nancy made it possible. She is so talented, detail oriented and generous. She gave me advice and guidance on more than just flowers. I can't say enough good things about her!

    Beautiful and Easy to Work With

    A Schoolhouse Garden was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Nancy is incredibly knowledgable and talented and was able to pull together my random thoughts into a beautiful, cohesive picture. She spent quality time with me months before the wedding learning about my style, vision, and personality. The staff were timely, professional and helpful on our wedding day - and I was able to get a boutonniere for my "Best Dog" too (worth it)!

    I strongly recommend working with Nancy, she captured exactly what I wanted and I mean exactly. Everything was beautiful the long greenery on the tables and perfectly laid out candles were magical looking. My bouquet was also perfect with the hint of blue that was so sutled but was just right for my "something blue". The flower crowns for the flower girls and our Golden Retriever were also perfect. She is a wealth of knowledge and gave me pro-only suggestions to get the girls to practice with fake flower crowns before the wedding day (worked like a charm). The flowers stayed fresh throughout the ceremony and reception we even got to enjoy them for quite a while afterward as well! If you want quality, superior design and professional knowledge go to Nancy at A Schoolhouse Garden!

    Beautiful Work

    Loved working with Nancy for my wedding in June. My husband and I didn’t really know what we wanted for flowers & wedding decor, but Nancy talked us through every detail including 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!

    Nancy and her staff were wonderful to work with! I had a limited ideas and a pinterest board for inspiration. Nancy was able to take this and make wonderful arrangements for my wedding. 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.

    Nancy and her team did an amazing job with the flowers for our wedding! A Schoolhouse Garden was recommended by our venue and we were not disappointed! As someone who knows very little 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.

    Nancy from A Schoolhouse Garden made our wedding beautiful! We weren’t sure exactly what we wanted for our flowers, but Nancy was easily able to help us create our vision through thoughtful 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!

    Less than 3 weeks ago, we worked with Nancy from A Schoolhouse Garden for our wedding at the Skinner Barn, also in Waitsfield. We were and still are so grateful to have worked with 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!

    We could not have been happier with how our flowers and decor turned out for our wedding. Nancy and Elizabeth at A Schoolhouse Garden are true visionaries. Our wedding couldn't possibly 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!

    We hired A Schoolhouse Garden to be our florist for our 5/20/17 wedding and we couldn't have been happier! Leading up to the big day, they were great and helping us shape our vision 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!

    Nancy was incredible!! Our flowers were absolutely gorgeous. I had a lot of special requests (floral chandelier, garlands on our seats, special seating card display) and she knocked it ALL out of the park. Each element was even better than I imagined. She was also a huge help during the planning process. Her creativity, taste, experience, team, and relationships with our other vendors made the whole planning process easy and worry-free.

    Nancy was amazing to work with. She did the flowers for our wedding on 7-10-16 and they were beautiful. We did a consultation prior and her process of going through all of the aspects of the wedding, the design, the ambiance, all of the colors, made us feel so comfortable and confident in her expertise. Neither of us are experts on flowers, and therefore all we had was a collection of photos on pinterest to show Nancy however we immediately felt sure that no matter what the flowers would turn out beautiful and they absolutely did! The bride and bridesmaids bouquets were so gorgeous and the centerpieces came out stunningly. We also rented mixed votives for candles from Nancy which were placed on the tables and on the windowsills and when we walked into our reception space we were blown away with how beautiful everything looked. We would absolutely recommend working with Nancy!

    Nancy was a pleasure to work with. She captured the colors and vision I had for my bouquets as well as my centerpieces perfectly. I also LOVED the boutonnieres she made and we received many compliments on them. In addition to delivering exactly what I wanted, she was also very flexible about adjusting number of centerpieces as our headcount changed. I highly recommend Nancy.

    Nancy and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. She took the ideas I had floating around and elevated them beyond my imagination. The arbor she created was stunning and I had people commenting on the quality and design of the center pieces all night. My bouquet took my breath away when I saw it. I recommend A Schoolhouse Garden for any event needed, they truly elevate the level of the wedding
