I Always Cry.....

So...I can't seem to deliver a wedding without shedding a tear or two.  I don't know what it is, I hand out the flowers and then I lose all sense of professional boundaries and want to hug and kiss the bride.  It's fine if I know her but when I'm simply the florist...that sort of behavior can cause...well...awkwardness.  I generally feel the same about pregnant mamas and sweet little old ladies but I have learned a little, in my older years to try and refrain myself if need be!  So, no need to worry if I'm doing your upcoming wedding and hugging the florist makes you feel just a little...uncomfortable:)

In fact, I did refrain today when I delivered flowers to a most beautiful bride.  Not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't want to cry all over her beautiful dress!  I love the anticipation in the air before the ceremony and I love seeing the glowing face of a bride adorned and ready to speak sacred vows to the love of her life.  I love pinning on boutonnieres and seeing the family gathered and dear friends circling close.







 I love the small part that I play in that day.  I love the flowers.  I marvel at their colors and details, when shades and textures are blended like tapestry.  I love how they look placed into the wedding like props for Broadway.   I took a few pictures today before carting them down to the little white church.  They're lovely....but they are nothing compared to the bride.  They were only a compliment to her and her ladies.  Hopefully,  when the professional photos are done you'll get to see for yourself.

Congratulations Bernie and Sarah....today was a beautiful day for a wedding.
