Today was rather uneventful in the wedding prep arena. It may have been ambitious of me to announce a week in the life of a part time wedding florist. The fact is, until the flowers come I am pretty much set. I also changed the day I receive my flowers to Friday. Thursday felt too early, especially with this warm weather. So for now the kids play with the buckets;
I count and count and recount jars.
I make sure the candles work, because that's how paranoid I can be. I don't like last minute surprises. Though I have to say that I am pretty resourceful and have been known to save the day just minutes before the ceremony. (Patting myself on the back). I think this quality I get from my mom. Not the paranoid, the resourceful.
And tonight after the kids fell asleep I pored over my notes, the scribbles, magazine clippings, and mostly over my flower order to Florabundance. I also have been scoping out neighbor's gardens for interesting foliage. I have found something in a garden I pass by regularly that my wholesaler wasn't able to get for me. Will I get the courage to knock on the door and ask for a clipping? I'll pay whatever it is worth to them. It's a smoke bush, it has chocolate brown foliage and is exactly what I need.
Zach has a friend that has been so kind as to loan us his massive American Suburban SUV. This way I won't have to rent a van for delivery. Sweet.
