I was featured on the sky channel and channel 4 i have also done work for the gmtv programme when they run a comp. to marry at gretna green,they filmed valentines day 2 yrs ago here. what a palava! I do all the flower work for Anvil Hall and they required another 3 large pedestals and brides bouquet, etc, and of course an elongated corsage for the presenter (who will remain nameless,) the programme went out at 7am, all was ready ,so i thought so i went back to the shop, as we had a very busy day to contend with,i would have the tv on to watch it airing live from Anvil Hall, as they went live,the first thing i noticed the presenter had the corsage on upside down ! and the grooms buttonhole on the wrong side !! as this was being aired at intervals throughout the morning ,i phoned, told one of the girls,she coudn't believe it either,of she went to tell the presenter ,wasnt interested, so it went out live about 5 times , i was so annoyed with them,because they had given us a headache wanting this that and the other done before filming , i learnt something never trust the so called experts ! do it yourself !

My work consists of wedding, weddings, and more weddings ,10 months of the year.we are in the middle of what we call the silly season here.anything up to 12 weddings a week ,I just stumbled across this site,when looking for something else on the net.
Last year there were 5,683 weddings in the Gretna/Gretna Green area.
lots of brides travel with fresh flowers others have silk,and jo soap here has a fare few,there are only about 6 local florists in the area, some have a shop and others are mobiles working from home. so plenty room for everyone.(a bit of useless information for you !)
Have a nice day !
Hello Mary Tefler I am just appologising for a mix up I made earlier, you know about the tipples. I have replied to alby and told him what happened, I tried to reply to him first and my modem packed up, and couldnt get back on line, when I did manage it, I forgot were I was and ended up giving you the wrong information: I really am sorry. I wondered why Apple was asking me why I was going on about being drunk and stuff. Shame there dosen't seem to be an icon on here that describes how stuiped am I so i'll just have to blagg it. Hope you will forgive me. FLOW: Oh hang on I must be the light bulb I agree mine deffinately went out:
