Spring is a wondrous season. Flowers are blooming, loved ones are celebrating St. Patty’s Day while smelling fresh rain over pouring throughout Texas.
This week leading up to our destined daylight savings change, I had the opportunity to work with our floral division. For obvious reasons I will re-name the characters in my blog posting(s). (Making sure their secret spy personas are safe, like their an “original Bond man or woman”.)
Our floral specialist, Mrs. Blossom had worked with me on a special wedding project for one of our clients. Mrs. Blossom had gone above and beyond! She planned for over 2 weeks, making sure each arrangement was pieced together with perfection.
After several conversations with the client, countless hours put into the designs, and multiple possibilities of arrangements shown…..Mrs. Blossom and I received news no wedding planner(s) want to hear.
……”We need to cancel.”……
You see, the client (Mr. Liaison), had a very special job during the floral planning process. Mr. Liaison was not the bride or groom, but a middleman working on their behalf. He, after countless hours going back and forth, dreaded the very words he had to communicate towards Mrs. Blossom and I.
Mrs. Blossom and I have seen this a hundred times. In the wedding industry anything is possible. Couples break up, couples realize the actual expense, or couples simply don’t like the grand wedding planning process. All of these elements are completely understandable. Each bride and groom is different. Mrs. Blossom and I know that each couple marches to the beat of their own drum. (One of the very reason’s wedding planning is never boring and always captures our attention!)
In the final hours…leading up to Mr. Liaison’s family wedding, I received a phone call. Urgent, and ready to make one final detail come to life; Liaison expressed how patient Mrs. Blossom and I had been through the planning process and asked for one last favor. How soon could we put together a last minute floral arrangement within a different color scheme?!
Well….I tell ya…urgency and adrenaline are Mrs. Blossom and my middle names!
Within two days we managed to display amazing florals within Mr. Liaison’s vision. To our comfort the bride and groom were overjoyed with the visual enhancement to the venue.
Divergent floral planning is one of the main reason’s we love our jobs! Never a dull day when it comes to wedding planning. Thank you Mr. Liaison for giving Mrs. Blossom and I the chance to help you navigate in the floral department.
