WEDDING FLOWERS!

Well Saturday was the BIG day for the wedding! The flowers were delievered Thursday afternoon...after a few set backs they all FINALLY arrived! Thursday night I prepped all the flowers...cutting tips of stems, putting them in buckets of ice water, etc... The last group of flowers I did were the large roses, we ordered 1/2 Bi-Colored Yellow with Red tips (50) & 1/2 "Hot Orange", a coral color (50)...well when I got to that box of roses...ALL WE GOT WERE 100 Yellow & Red! NO Hot Orange! So, we try calling the flower company & they are already closed!
So, I finish prepping & put all the flowers in my "refrigerated" bathroom! It's called turning the air down to 60 degrees & putting a fan in there with flowers in buckets of ice water...It gets REALLY cold!
And then Friday night after I got off work I got to work on arranging the flowers for the wedding...

It was a LARGE wedding so I had a lot of stuff to do so, luckily, Vicki could come and help me for a little while before she had to go home...With her help we finished all the 19 boutonnieres & 11 corsages! Then I was left on my own to do the 12 bouquets & arrangments...

It was a LONG night but everything got finished & (if I do say so myself) they were BEAUTIFUL! The bride (Jenny Price) LOVED everything! Then entire wedding was BEAUTIFUL!
