What patience you need for that job. I have never done anything like that. I did work as a Floral Designer and you would be amazed at how many people (mostly husbands) call up on Valentine's Day expecting you to deliver a dozen red long stems. Flowers are always pre-ordered for big holidays and many times there are no extras. Not to mention the poor delivery guys.
Jessie, Now I understand why you have to work on your merit badges!!!!! My son and daughter in law were having those kinds of issues with her mom being a pain in the neck and a control freak so they flew to Hawaii and got married on the beach. Then they had a big party at her brother's hpuse when they got back. Left her mother in the dust by making all their own plans and everybody was happy Michele
Wow! I can identify. I used to cater. I can tell you that WEDDING GUESTS can be the most demading of people. It must be the free(to them) food or something. I had one get reallty bent because we didn't have milk for her baby's bottle.
Two of my four kids had outdoor/garden weddings at private homes, both beautiful settings but.....after these two I asked the others to please get married inside. The first was in July and the second in August. Normally August on the Oregon coast would be very nice, not 100 plus. The July wedding was the most interesting though. At the beginning of the ceremony the thunder started, then the lightening and the rain in the middle of the ceremony. Lightening struck down the road and started a fire in a wheat field. After the deputy sheriff arrived, half the guests left to fight fire. It was exciting. The food was great! We always do that ourselves and the flowers.
The third was married at sea by the captain on a cruise to Alaska and none of us were invited. Now I thought that was a little rude but after the first two weddings who could blame her. We had a big party(reception) three weeks later so all is well.
I'm still waiting to find out what the fourth one will do.
It's not about being perfect, but enjoying what you do. Set aside time to be creative.
