personal flowers

no ch today, he was helping jack move. it was an average day, but i didn't seem to be able to manage to get the wedding stuff done. today's list was all the boutonierres and corsages, as well as the flower groupings for the tops of the garland. and organizing everything. jim came in at 2, and he's almost a help. he left a little after 5, and i'd gotten all the corsages done. i was there for another hour and a half. there was a bit of panic about the bridesmaid's boquets- because they're orchids, we left them out overnight, but all the ivy that didn't have a water source and was terribly wilted. so i added orchids and more ivy to them, and clipped off the wilted bits, and stuck as many ends as i could find into the wet foam. now i just have to decide if i want to waterpak them on the way there- how long can ivy be out of water before it starts to droop? everything has to last 5 hrs. from when i take it out of the cooler- from 9 when i get there until 2, an hour after the wedding. that's all the more i care about.
anyway, i need to eat dinner, go to bed, so i can wake up early tomorrow. wish me luck!
