They are the absolute sweetest couple in the world! I received a phone call from both of them individually on Monday a.m. thanking me for making their wedding so beautiful. And remember, they were married Sunday night. How unbelievably sweet is that? They both have hearts of pure gold.They will have a wonderful life together!
Using their wedding to illustrate, I want to give a sort of "play by play" of how it all comes together here at bloom, so here goes:
Flowers are delivered in cardboard boxes that need to be unpacked. Flowers are sold in bunches of either 5 or 10 stems. Each bunch is generally wrapped in cello to protect the petals. So, it's a lot of unwrapping and cutting of rubberbands. Then each individual stem needs to be recut so they will drink water properly.
Before recutting the stems, any extra uneeded foliage is removed.
The flowers need to be placed in the appropriate size buckets so the flower heads do not become damaged.
Erin and Blake's wedding had over 800 stems! That's a lot of work just to get the flowers ready to use.
Here is my assistant, Stormy, making sure I am doing things correctly.
Erin wanted a little extra "detail" for her centerpieces, so I wrapped ti leaves around the cylinder vase and added a gardenia leaf for pizzaz. This design element was utilized throughout her entire event.
That's it for today...more to come later! I've got 3 weddings this weekend, so I've got to get to work.
