Seriously though, I think we sometimes do take it for granted that we can create such things of beauty, I constantly agonise over the minute details of things (is there a gap here, does that rose need shifting slightly to the left, can you see the oasis there, etc) and forget to step back and look at the overall creation, to look at it from the customer's perspective. It's so lovely to get a reaction from brides, you often build a really warm relationship with them, they value and trust you, you reciprocate by creating something beautiful to your absolute best ability. I so look forward to this time of year, the start of the wedding season proper, I love it, there's such a feel of teamwork and purpose, all the girls, and often the customers too, oohing and aaahing over the gorgeous flowers, heads down, getting on with it, no time to be whittling and whinging.
