One of my daughters has just become engaged and Raymond is under
starter's orders to plant up some *beautiful* tubs/pots/containers etc.
for next year, in the hope/expectation we'll need to decorate church and
marquee. I've had that slightly baffled response men seem to give to
wedding plans - "what are you worrying about?"

Well, I thought it was a bit unfair, considering he can become a tad
irritated with brides or mums who turn up two weeks before the wedding and
expect us to find burgeoning containers and large mature plants for them!
The main thing is to set the date and book the church and that has been
done! The rest is just a big party afterwards and a 'what shall we wear?'
thing for the girls!

I remember when I used to do wedding flowers how often the poor bride
had no say, it was Mum who said what the bride wanted and no argument.
but I remember one poor girl coming in on a Friday morning , about 10
months pregnant wanting to know if I could do any sort of bouquet for
her wedding the next morning,
She was a real slip of a girl and I reckon that the pregnancy must have
increased her weight by almost 50%.
I did an orchid bouquet of just cymbidium orchids and gyp, The orchids
had been in flower for almost 3 months, so she had it for £10.00, she
was over the moon.
Ah ! Those were the days.
