Last week was one of the busiest weeks I had in a long time. I did the flowers for 2 weddings, that were on the same day. One for my good friend and cousin Shilo (Mitchell) Munk and Becky Tiffanys brother Ryan.
Here is my week by numbers:
2 weddings
3 days to do it
700+ dollars worth of flowers
105 roses, that needed to be dethorned and striped
5 buckets and every pitcher and vase I own to hold all the flowers
19 boutonieres
10 corsages
6 floral hairpieces
3 little girl floral head wreaths
6 bouquets
11 centerpieces
1 monster centerpeice
36 yards of ribbon made into 23 bows
5 trips to the wholesaler
5 trips to drop off kids at the babysitters (THANK YOU mom and Alene for watching the girls!)
4 trips to deliver flowers
1 nice catering company that helped me set up the flowers for the reception
30+ worth of work
1 messy house covered in flowers and greens
5 cuts on my hands
1 thorn stuck in foot
1 amazing husband that helped me so much and even got his first shot at designing, I LOVE YOU
0 tears (thank goodness)
2 happy brides (hopefully!)
1 very tired and relieved it is over designer!
Lesson learned: NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!
