Nancy Orkish is a dream come true! Even now, two months after the fact, I still glow about those flowers.
I will never forget how my heart leapt up when I saw the bouquets she created. I planned my wedding from Halifax,
so Nancy and I were limited to e-mails and phone calls. I did not even give her a lot of time! She managed to
surpass all my expectations. Everyone at our wedding was breathless over the flowers: the yellows and pinks
and blues in the garlands on the head table, around the cake and circling the punch bowls. And my bouquet!!
It was perfect. She had not even seen my bridesmaid's dresses and she composed arrangements that matched them
beautifully. Nancy has a gift, and my husband and I feel very smart for having had the good sense to ask her
to share it with us on our wedding day.

David and I had a fall, evening wedding in a small museum and Nancy did all the decorating and flowers. The museum
setting created some unique decorating opportunities and challenges. Although I didn't articulate it very well,
Nancy understood exactly the atmosphere we wanted to create and we were thrilled with the results. I knew I could
trust Nancy to take care of these things for me. It took a lot of the stress from me and the results were
beautiful! Nancy is wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend her for any event.

Thank you very much for the beautiful decorating at the hall for the shower. It was just fabulous! Everyone who
attended and those who were just passing thru' were simply astounded.

Nancy Orkish delivers a tasteful mix of elegance and homespun charm. For our marriage celebration, she arranged
a variety of flowers, including long stemmed roses, in beautiful silver and crystal containers for a classic
theme. When friends threw us a baby shower, Nancy created a celebration of new life, built around apple blossoms
and the spring buds. It was a delight. I highly recommend Nancy's work.

A few years ago, I photographed a wedding for which Nancy Orkish decorated. It was one of the nicest ones I've
seen. I was especially impressed by the garlands.

... I never got to thank you in person, but the flowers were AMAZING!!!! Talk about dreams come true!
The garlands were especially gorgeous. John has a VW Beetle (which has an extremely broad dash), so we placed
the garlands on it after the wedding and drove around with me watering them with my water bottle every
day .... I got all misty when we had to throw them out!

Nancy Orkish's use of innovative floral arrangements and decorations for our wedding was simply inspirational.
We were married in a country church with an outdoor reception. Her creative and imaginative floral decor wove
a spell of elegance through our simple wedding theme. Everything from the huge sunflower arrangements greeting
our guests to the garlands of fern and angelica on our wedding tables created a polished look for our special day.
I have attended numerous events where I witnessed Nancy's range of designs from classic to country.
From small intimate gatherings to large elaborate weddings, Nancy manages to interpret individual style
in her artistry. She has an uncanny ability to make each event unique.

...thank you so much for agreeing to decorate at my wedding. I saw what you did at Candace's wedding last year
and I fell absolutely in love with it. I especially love the little wishing pond and the flower arrangements.
I always knew you were crafty, I just didn't realize how good you were....Thank-you so much for making mine and Erik's day a little less
stressful. Planning this wedding is hard enough since I am in Sweden, but knowing that you will take care of it
all at a very reasonable price means so much to us. I'm looking forward to seeing how you will
turn a legion hall into Cinderella's Castle. After seeing Candace’s wedding, I know you have the
capabilities to do it!!
Shauna Youden, bride, of Sweden
Nancy did an excellent job on our wedding decorations and bridal bouquets. It was good to have someone who
knew exactly what we were looking for and bring things together so elegantly. Her decorating surpassed our
expectations and it was nice to know we had one less thing to worry about on our special day. I would highly
recommend Nancy to anyone planning a wedding.
