It takes more flowers then you would think and they all have to be prepped. My kitchen was turned into flower central. The smell was amazing! It may surprise you that it actually takes more than one day to put together arrangements, bouquets, and corsages for an event. Flowers come in with tight heads and then continue to open over time which allows you to work over a few days.
Eventually we see some progress and can check arrangements off our list but the flowers are now overflowing to the dining room.
We were exhausted when it was all over with but the results could not have been more perfect thanks to my very talented friend.
