all of mairee's wedding flowers came in today. so many boxes! such a high bill! oh dear oh dear. we'll have lots of extras. ch didn't seem too mad at me- i guess that's just how weddings go. and he was the one to give me quantities for the greens, so it's his fault we'll have 1/2 a box of scrub ivy left. yesterday we made our big checklist, so today we started following it. we processed all the flowers and put them in buckets in the cooler to stay lovely until the event. i soaked the corsage and stephonotis stems. and we made all the garland. 19 pieces at 2 ft. for the backs of the chairs, and 2 pieces at 7 ft. for the railings. yes, we made 52 feet of garland today. it's sprengeri fern with bits of scrub ivy and regular varigated ivy, and gypsophilia. the day of the wedding, i'll add a hot pink ravel rose and two bits of yellow solidago to each one. hopefully it will look like a jungle!
at the end of the day today we had a balloon delivery. they were going to an event at the allegra hotel. crazy, walking with ch through rush hour traffic, with these enormous balloon boquets. only one annoying guy asking what happenend today. i said, um, i think they're for a party. ch was laughing and when we passed the guy, he said, they're for a funeral, sir. i laughed and said i wanted balloons for my funeral. he asked what kind, and i said characters, because we don't order those at our classy flowershop. and he laughed and said i'd have helium veggie tales pallbearers. sounds like good times to me- too bad i won't be around.
