    Stunning floral arrangements and an even better owner!

    Nancy & the team at Sweetbay Flowers are extremely sweet and easy to work with! Nancy was always so helpful in helping me think through ideas for our wedding day! And wow did she deliver and put together arrangements better than we could’ve ever imagined! Thank you Nancy & team!

    Sweetbay Flowers's reply:

    Thank you so much Kate for your kind words.
    You were so easy to work with and I really appreciate that.
    Even though it rained and you had to move inside, I think it all looked so nice and you took it so well !! Congratulations to you and Jamar !

    Gorgeous flowers, amazing experience

    I absolutely loved working with Nancy for our wedding flowers. She was so responsive and helpful throughout the process. She was able to stay within a very reasonable budget and make absolutely gorgeous bouquets and the most stunning swag for the trees that my husband and I got married in front of. I am so happy that we found Nancy for our wedding day and would absolutely recommend her.

    Sweetbay Flowers's reply:

    Thank you Sarah for all of your kind words. You were just great to work with and I am so happy you liked your florals.
    All the best to you and Greg !

    We love nancy!

    Nancy was the florist at our 7/10/22 wedding, and she made it look like an absolute dream! I will admit that flowers were NOT our biggest priority in terms of budget, and Nancy was great at working with our budget to get us what we wanted. We mostly did greenery + baby's breath, and everything looked stunning. She even set up all of our candles (200+). Nancy was so sweet and very responsive. I trusted her to make everything look great and cohesive, and despite minimal direction from me, she pulled it off better than I could've imagined!! In a time when some florists are charging $5-$10k minimum for florals, Nancy was a breathe of fresh air! 10/10 recommend!!

    Sweetbay Flowers's reply:

    Hello Hanna, I am sorry not to have responded sooner, but do want to thank you for your very kind review. You were a florist's dream to work with and I appreciate that so much ! I hope you are doing well and I wish you all the best !

    Elegant and Classy

    Nancy was wonderful to work with in creating the florals for our August wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. I know flowers aren't always at the top of everyone's list, but they were one of the more important things to me when it came to decor. We wanted an elegant feel with all white flowers and greenery mixed in and a tropical twist. She absolutely nailed it! Despite rising prices due to shipping and flower shortages, she was still able to keep us within our anticipated budget without having to sacrifice the overall look. My bridal bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets exceeded my expectations. On top of all that, she was so kind and wonderful to communicate with!

    Sweetbay Flowers's reply:

    Allison, I so appreciate your kind review ! Your wedding was beautiful as were you and I enjoyed the 'Hawaiian' theme. It was fun to be able to work with so many tropical flowers and greenery !
    Thank you for being such a pleasure to work with and allowing me to be a part of your very special day !

    Great experience!

    Sweetbay Flowers and Nancy were amazing! Our bouquets, boutonnieres, and arbor arrangement were beautiful! Out theme was rustic Italian. She nailed it, and made our special day even more gorgeous!

    Sweetbay Flowers's reply:

    Thank you Whitney. I know your wedding day was chilly and damp, but I hope it was a beautiful time for you and your groom.
    I do appreciate you letting us be a part of your big day !

    Gorgeous Flowers

    We had some wild weather on our wedding day, but the floral garland and large arrangements stayed put, and were gorgeous when the sun came out and we were able to have the ceremony. The bouquets were perfect, and she incorporated peonies (my favorite flower) into both my bouquet and my sisters bouquets (my MOH).

    Sweetbay Flowers's reply:

    Good morning Katie, thank you so much for the kind words.
    It really was a crazy weather day, but I'm glad it all turned out well.
    It will give you something to talk about later on down the road !
    Thank you for getting in touch and I wish you all the best.
    Also....loved your shoes !

    Gorgeous and Grateful

    Nancy and Sweetbay Florists created bouquets that literally brought my mom and I to tears (happy tears!) on the wedding day. From the beginning, Nancy's communication was impeccable and she was incredibly helpful in picking out the details of the floral arrangements. Her expertise and service made her feel like she knew the vision for my wedding before I even said anything. We are so incredibly grateful for her gorgeous fall bouquets and all her guidance to make our rustic wedding come to life.

    Sweetbay Flowers's reply:

    Thank you Jules for this amazing review ! I was so happy we could be a part of your beautiful wedding and the venue of the Inn at Huntingfield Creek was perfect. I wish you and Blake all the best and the most sincere congratulations on your wedding !

    Sweet Bay Flowers Envisioned Our Flowers Perfectly!

    Nancy, at Sweet Bay Flowers, was responsive and attentive from the onset. She asked pertinent questions and offered suggestions that fit perfectly with what we had envisioned for our daughter's wedding!
    While we lived a considerable distance apart, Nancy expertly advised us of what we would need for the Wedding Ceremony and reception afterwards. She provided suggestions for flowers that were in season, and matched both in color and visual appeal to what we had hoped for.
    Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process!
    Nancy's prices were better than most we spoke with, and she worked within our budget to create a spectacular array of flowers.
    Nancy even suggested ways that flowers used for the ceremony could be transposed to entirely different center pieces for the reception.
    As my daughter stated, " Somehow, you have taken what I wished for and made it come true!".
    We would highly recommend Sweet Bay for your wedding flowers!

    Sweetbay Flowers's reply:

    Thank you Sue for this wonderful review. I really do appreciate it !
    You were great to work with and I am so glad I was able to be a part of Julia and Blake's big day !

    Excellent floral design

    Nancy was wonderful to work with, and really brought my vision to life. She looked over my Pinterest board filled with ideas and color schemes, and pulled together the loveliest bouquets and arrangements. She was so sweet and was even able to pull together 2 extra arrangements when asked with only a weeks notice. If I were to do it all over again, I would choose her in a heartbeat!

    Sweetbay Flowers's reply:

    Megan you and Amy ( now your wonderful mother in law ) were so great to work with. That large sycamore tree at the park was a perfect backdrop for you ceremony.
    Congratulations to you and Andrew and thank you for letting me be a part of your special day !

    Such a joy

    Nancy was such a joy to work with. Was highly responsive and patient while I planned my wedding from out of state. She took my ideas and inspirations and brought them to life in such a perfect way! The day was pure magic and the flowers brought color and vibrancy. From the sunflowers and roses to all the beautiful greenery, it was everything I wanted. I cannot recommend Sweetbay enough!

    Absolutely Gem

    Nancy was absolutely pleasure to work with. I was unsure of what type of flowers to use and she guided me on the options I could do. I was able to meet with her to discuss my wedding and I had in mind based on pictures. I also got to meet with her a few days before to see the centerpieces. The flowers were vibrant and in full bloom. They were beautiful. She and her team delivered and set everything up, which was a huge help. Then the next morning, they came and cleaned up. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

    Sweetbay Flowers's reply:

    Thank you Anna for your kind review. You were such a sweet bride to work with and I enjoyed being a part of your big day !

    Out of all my vendors, I had the best experience with Sweetbay! Nancy made everything so easy and anytime I had a question or thought of a new idea, she was so open and always responded quickly! I had zero stress dealing with the flowers. I arrived at the venue and like magic everything was setup and ready to go, no issues whatsoever. Nancy is extremely kind, easy to work with and creates gorgeous arrangements at ANY budget!

    Beautiful flowers and great florist!

    I found Nancy online and after a few emails I went to for a meeting with her at her studio. She was so nice and did a great job of helping me with my ‘vision’ for the wedding. She was super friendly and ultimately provided awesome flowers for our wedding. I definitely recommend!

    Beautiful & Affordable

    I hired Nancy last minute for our wedding flowers after realizing DIY-flowers may be too much to take on 🤪!

    Nancy was really easy to work with and was able to provide gorgeous flowers at an affordable price. The flowers were just what I wanted -- loose, full of greenery, and whimsical/romantic! She did my bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. She dropped off the flowers on the wedding morning and they were perfect!

    Gorgeous wedding flowers and lovely business

    If you're looking for an Eastern Shore florist that provides amazing service and creates beautiful floral arrangements for your wedding, Sweetbay Design would be perfect for you! I absolutely loved working with Nancy throughout the entire wedding planning process. We met with three florists in total, and our first meeting with Nancy set such high expectations that none of the others could beat it.

    She runs her business out of a cute shop right on the water at her family's property. I felt like I was meeting with a close family friend to plan my wedding flowers (I later came to find out she is friends with my aunt!).

    I loved how Nancy could envision the look that I had in my head, but also provided some great suggestions for what we could add to make it even more beautiful. The whole process with Sweetbay Design was so personal, not transactional at all.

    She did such an amazing job on the day of the wedding. The flowers were exactly what I dreamed they would be. Thank you Nancy for making my wedding day so gorgeous!

    Sweetbay Flowers's reply:

    Thank you Jennifer for this wonderful review ! I'm so glad your flowers were just what you were looking for and the weather for you special day couldn't have been better. The venue you chose overlooking the Chester River was also pretty nice !!
    You were a dream to work with and I do wish you and Harrison all the best in your future together !

    The florals were perfect! She worked closely with us to create the perfect chuppah and birch poles were beyond beautiful - we got so much feedback on how much everyone loved everything! We can’t thank her enough for the creative and thorough vision, flowers, centerpieces, EVERYTHING!

    100% work with Sweetbay Design for your wedding (or any special occasion!)

    I couldn't have been happier with how absolutely stunning every arrangement Nancy created was. Each was so creative, incorporated specifics I wanted, but always came together with a special unifying color or shape she created. Nancy provided great feedback, suggested ideas that fit perfectly with our vision, and was kind & thoughtful throughout the whole process. Nancy will absolutely make any event special, and I'm so thankful that I have her beautiful florals in my wedding memories forever. Thank you Sweetbay Design!

    Absolutely stunning

    I have no other words to sum up my experience with Nancy from Sweetbay Design other than saying it was seamless! Nancy worked with my budget to help me find a happy medium between Pinterest and reality. I was stuck on peonies and of course I picked the one month they were out of season. She knew the perfect substitute. She was so thorough that I hadn't thought of half the questions she asked me. She was always quick to respond and the end results were just stunning. Her beautiful workshop made me feel like I was visiting family. She was so knowledgable about knowing how to keep them fresh the day of and how to preserve them if I wanted to. My experience was off the charts! My pictures were beautiful and I was so happy with the bouquet and centerpieces. She even made custom wreaths using grapevines from her garden! If you want someone who pays attention to detail and will deliver beyond what you expected, you're at the right place.

    As a florist myself and mother of the bride, flowers are the most important part of making the party “ extra special “! Nancy at Sweetbay Design was florist extraordinaire! Her design and floral touches w the table pieces, bouquets, decorated arbor and a favorite swing were absolutely breathtaking! Just couldn’t ask for anything more. What a joy it was to work with her.

    I loved working with Nancy as she consulted and designed centerpieces for the rehearsal dinner and stunning floral accents for the wedding, surrounding the backyard tent and arbors. She was involved with all detailed, down to the handmade cedar arbor. Nancy is an extremely gifted gardener and designer. Restaurants have their giants in the "farm-to-table" movement and Nancy shines with her "garden-to-table" floral designs. She has great vision when it comes to blending the natural beauty of native plants and flowers with individual flower preferences to create gorgeous surroundings for your special occasions. She is not only talented but easy to work with because of her warm helpful personality. I highly recommend Nancy.
