To say that last weekend was seriously busy would be an understatement. We provided flowers for 8 different weddings. The above picture shows all 8 of my bridal bouquets and the fabulous team of designers that got us through the weekend. My husband Evan, son Alex and the amazing Peter, Albert, and Carlos also had a huge part in making the weekend a success. Thankfully our crew was right on target and we handled everything perfectly but I would be lying to you if I said there was not some serious stress along the way. We as a team handle things amazingly well, there’s lots of communication and constant rehashing of how the weekend will unfold. We do get a little stressy amongst us but for the most part we are in sync with each other and the stress or irritability is similar to what you would see in a family. What we can never be prepared for are the delays we will encounter along the way, like waiting for linens to be dropped, or waiting for the previous wedding to leave, or even traffic issues on a wedding property. We did get in a little trouble this weekend because our tire went off of the pavement and landed in someones precious grass. Honestly that is the biggest complaint we have ever had so it killed me that we made that error, but in the scheme of things I would simply have to call us rock stars. Here are some of the weekends designs. I will also say that one of the reasons the weekend turned out so large was I decided to donate flowers to a military couple in honor of 9/11. We also had a fabulous bride in her mid 60’s who decided to plan a wedding in under a month. Coming to her aid was an awesome experience and I will share her pictures with you tomorrow.

Notice, we also had two lighting projects managed by the new guy Evan, as well as a few prop and antique rentals!! I am really proud of us!!
