Weekend Wedding

I did some flowers over the weekend for a wedding. My first in a year. Our neighbors daughter got married last summer....so I got to help out with that one. The wedding colors were yellow, black and white. I thought kinda bumble bee like... but I could make it work. Yellow Gerber Daisies with a black center and so much more. I would have liked to work some sunflowers in but you know it is all about the bride and not the florist. Anywhoo... I worked about 12 hours on the wedding over 2 days and all turned out beautiful. 14 centerpieces, 2 alter arrangements, bouts, corsages, toss bouquet, bride and 3 brides maids bouquets, 3 extra bouquets... it was like the flowers were loaves and fishes flowers... I had ordered what I thought would be enough for the wedding but I had so much left over that I was able to embellish everything and still had enough left over for extra arrangements... It the best to be able to arrange and not have to skimp to make sure that you have enough flowers for everything. There were even flowers left over for the cake!

What wasn't pretty were my fingers afterward. Helpful hint........don't try and clean off dirt from the stems of bear grass with your fingers... you WILL cut your self on the lovely serrated edges.... as I did. They are feeling better... but they were kinda deep. I could pretend like one was talking by opening and closing it. Yuck.

It was so much fun to get my hands back into what I love to do. I was blessed by my hubby who so graciously had some daddy/daughter time so that I could go and do this wedding... plus I get paid! Whoohoo!
