Normally when we do a wedding we buy the flowers, arrange them and deliver them to the appropriate places.
This Saturday however the bride is bringing the flowers with her, all the way from Ecuador!
She is a firm believer in fair trade practices, and being from Ecuador, she felt one way to be sure of the source was to see it and buy them for herself.
The flowers started their journey about 3 days ago and will arrive with us on Friday morning, all 600 stems of them!! That will give us just enough time to prep and strip them and arrange them in time for the big day...we hope!
July should typically be a quieter month, what with everyone either being off on holiday or spending their hard earned on entertaining kids...but so far we've been pretty busy. Add to that a full wedding schedule and it's smiles all round.
Our home grown organic flower bunches are still going down a storm. The picking is a little erratic this season though as the farmers have to crop them before any big rains come down. As they are a little bit delicate, down pours can be bad for their health.
That's all for now, hopefully the next instalment will be a little quicker.
