Flowers can say so many things and they can make such a difference to any event.

A short while ago I attended my sister’s wedding. My sister and her future husband had seen an advertisment on eBay for bids on a complete wedding package.   They really liked the idea of everything being sorted out and organised so decided to start bidding.

They were really excited as the date set for the wedding was 14th February, which was only a matter of a few weeks away. How fantastic to actually get hitched on Valentines Day with virtually no hassle whatsoever.

They were winning the bids right up until the last minute when unfortunately they were beaten by another couple.

As you can imagine, they were really disappointed, but it had made them realise that the sooner they got married the better. They decided to call the hotel where the original wedding was going to be set and see if maybe the hotel could do anything for them. The hotel had a slot available on March 7th and everything would be organised pretty much except the wedding dress and flowers.

Finding a Birmingham Florist was a very simple task, and didn’t take too long at all.  In fact my sister even managed to sort out a friend’s birthday flowers at the same time!

The dress however was a different matter entirely and it was quite a mission as my sister had set her mind on a certain style of dress. She was so lucky because her local wedding shop had her ideal dress in stock and low and behold it was in her size, it was an absolute miracle.

All that was now left to organise was getting my sister and my future brother in law to the hotel. Luckily a really close pal of theirs hires out his limousine, so that was the final mission accomplished.

It seemed that everything was ready for the big day, when unfortunately we heard some very sad news that our cousin had sadly passed away.  Unfortunately for my sister, whilst picking up her bridal bouquet, she also had the sad job of ordering some funeral flowers.

The big day arrived, and of course we were all very sad about our cousin, but as it was a wedding, we tried to enjoy ourselves.   The weather was beautiful, the venue was stunning and we all had just that little bit too much to drink.   Well it was a wedding, and you have to let your hair down sometimes!
