Remedial Floristry
I’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.

My wedding bouquet was yellow roses. Partly because they’re pretty, and partly because the yellow rose for friendship was a good symbol considering I was marrying someone I’d been friends with for many years when we weren’t romantically involved, and partly because it was the flower my mother had used in her bouquet, so it had that tradition aspect to it at well.
But mostly because yellow flowers are pretty.

Well, at least if you’re driving B. crazy it’s in late August 2007, rather than late May, 2008. Then it’s “look, would you figure out what you want” rather than “OMG can I change the order in time!” Now that would be legitimate cause for mayhem.
