We had a wedding-marathon weekend with two rehearsal dinners on Friday night, and two ceremonies on Saturday. For the morning ceremony, Bryan officiated Bond-style (in German, Mandarin and English — only one of which he speaks), and I made the flowers.
Of course, when we went to pick up the flowers we’d ordered, the florist didn’t have them. Had not ordered them.
So, instead of keening and rending our garments, the bride and I acted calm while we shopped for new-and-improved flowers. Here’s how they turned out:
Bridal bouquet
Bridesmaid bouquet
Boutonnieres
Hair piece
Mighty Girl 
The flowers are stunning! And what a great bride to remain calm in the face of potential wedding day disaster.

Beautiful! Especially considering that weren’t what the bride must have painstakingly chosen months ago.

I would have thrown up and died if that had happened at my brother’s wedding (I was the maid of honor) so go y’all for keeping it together in the most beautiful way. The hairpiece is my favorite.

Ha, when I read this, I thought:
Maggie would be exactly the person I’d want to have with me if I found out my florist didn’t have my wedding flowers.
I don’t know you or anything, but I’ll have to remember that sentiment when my own wedding comes around and have a suitable “Maggie” replacement. Just in case.

I don’t know how the florist’s version could have been any prettier. As my 11th grade English teacher used to say, you were a Hemingway Hero exhibiting Grace Under Pressure. Beautiful!

Love the beautiful purple-y waxflower in her hair! A perfect choice, if I may say so. Waxflower is the baby’s breath of the cool kids. 🙂

The flowers are gorgeous. Funny how life can throw a crisis at you then turn out to be better than the original plan. Please tell me you didn’t purchase this loveliness from the “florist” who forgot to order the bride’s original flowers.
