My most recent wedding

So I did a wedding on Saturday that had been a work in progress for over 5 months. Overall, I was pleased, as well was the groom, the mother of the bride and miscellaneous guests. Wow was the set up a lot of work though! I could not have done it all without my assistant, Emily, as well as her mother who stopped by and of course my very talented florist, Ria with Nature's Grace Design. Overall, I was most pleased with the floral centerpieces. Flexx rentals was very accommodating helping set up. The food was wonderful as always from Michael's Plum Catering. I also need to thank Pat, the disc jockey from Choice City djs who saved our behinds when we found out last minute that the bride had left her cd with her Processional song on it at work. Thanks Pat! We did have a few snags......... unfortunately, the chair covers that were ordered online from Beyond Elegance were the wrong size, a good reason to try to not order something that important over the Internet. Our paper lanterns would not stay hung on the ceiling which was too high in the first place, the ladder that was provided to us by the Chilson Center was not tall enough. Dave did accommodate the rest of our requests though and I was surprised how we managed turning that humble Senior Center's multi-purpose room into an elegant wedding reception. Oh, another thing to remember, aisle runners and wind do not mix. Man was I tired and sore by the end of this wedding but like always, when it is all over, it is bittersweet.
