I did a Valentine's day wedding for the first time. It's not the best day to have a wedding or the best month even as prices of flowers are up 3 times more than usual. So if you are reading this and if you are not yet married, please take note.
I made 2 bouquets the day before as the 1st one was just unlucky as 1 of the hydrangeas wilted on me and to make things worse, someone was not careful with it when I placed it in the refrigerator of the groom's house the night before (Chinese tradition where the groom brings the bride her bouquet in the morning) and when they slammed the door, they slammed 1 part of my precious Phalaenopsis orchid off. Stress levels rising by this point as I was exhausted from making the flowers on the wedding car.
Went home, redid another one went to bed by 1am. By 4:30am I was up, I had to get ready, load all the stuff in to my little car and head to the hotel to make more flowers for the night. I slaved all day and barely ate to make 35 arrangements for guest tables, 6 large arrangements for the walkway, registration table, photo table, bride & grooms chair and 4 more boutonnieres for the family and the flowers for the stage decor. 35 arrangements doesn't seem like many but time was robbed prepping the raw flowers before we could start with the arrangement. So plenty of lessons to be learned from just 1 night. Here's just some of the photos from the night taken by my crappy iPhone. I'm still waiting for the good ones by the photographer. Enjoy. :)
