Remedial Floristry
Friday, August 31st, 2007I’m driving my friend who’s doing my wedding flowers nuts.
No, not on purpose. Though I’m told the fact that it isn’t on purpose doesn’t help. I want to apologize again, anyway.
I know very little about flowers, and even less about aranging them. I didn’t have a clear idea of what colors I wanted, let alone the kinds of flowers. I don’t like to micromanage, and I have always thought that the benefit of hiring a professional is to have access to knowledge and expertise. I tried not to give a lot of direction. Actually, I gave very little direction, and that was vague and high-level.
However, it looks like I am going to have to make some actual specific decisions, and in aid of that I have been given homework. I am to look at the pretty pictures in the big book and point at what I like. Most of what I like turns out to be yellow, so although I had originally (pretty much at random) chosen blue, purple and pink, I think I am going to end up changing my mind.
And in so doing, probably driving my friend even crazier. For which I apologize, again.
I’m a floridiot.
