Windy Weddings!

What happened to summer?? The sky is looking a tad dark out there, and the wind is blowing all our lovely plants about.  Leona is running outside as I write to grab another price ticket that has blown away down the street, and she just rescued a large white peony plant from the 'summer breeze'!!!


Unusually for a weekend we don't have any weddings to prepare flowers for, as we are actually going to a wedding ourselves tomorrow.  Our friends Nik and Anna are doing the do up in Aboyne, near Aberdeen, and it should be a great day (even if the weather is looking a bit dodgy!). We first met Nik many years ago when we used to do flower classes in the shop.  He was the only male that signed up for them which we were quite excited about, and we bonded over the flowers and too much wine! A few years later at a Hogmanay party, Nik met the lovely Anna (who bonded over wine...and beer....) and the rest is history. 

There must be lots of weddings on this bank holiday weekend though as tomorrows box if full of orders for corsages and buttonholes.  We can't quite decide if we are going to adorn a flower ourselves or not.  I'm sure as florists we are supposed to be showing off our wares, but we didn't even have flowers at our own wedding!
