Had a bride in today getting married on Valentines Day 2009...and yes you guessed it she wants Red Roses...many florists in the town apparently turned her down...We said we would take it but the cost would be high...

Am I mad in taking it? Or justified considiering she is willing to pay whatever?!

justified
you have a living to make
and cos you are willing to do the flowers she will always remeber you and send people your way and not the ones that refused

Mad!
Well at the risk of getting my head kicked in I say
MAD
too!

I stay up all night for the 3 days leading up to get as much done as I can as it is. I just couldn't do it anymore .... when I've let my guard down and taken one I've always regretted it.

Having said that if someone wanted a big funeral for VDay I wouldn't even flinch. I just don't feel I could give the lovely bride a full service and for that reason I'd say I was already booked

Well it sounds MAD but I wouldnt turn it down either even though you might work through the night, and get lots of grey hair......

I remember very clearly how slow orders were coming in last valentine, and to have e wedding to put yr energy into 3-4 days before might be good...

You might be able to do chuch evening before and bobs yr uncle

Absolutely go for it, but make sure you charge enough...

I'd do it too, if it was handties and buttonholes only, and make them collect it from the shop.
