DIY bouquets - OUCH!!!!

[anytimeflowers]

So.......20 minutes before I was closing for the week-end today, I get a call.

We need help, our bouquets "got a little frosted" sitting in the hotel refrigerator."

I asked what was in the bouqets, what got ruined.

"Oh, really, it's just the greens around the edge."

Okay, well, bring them in and lets perk them back up.

This is what they showed up with.



I don't have any hydrangeas, I don't even know what the draping foliage is. But they were completely ruined, it was like I could see them turning browner.

I ended up with pink alstro, bells, I had one large pink peony, purple matsumoto, white stock, and some fillers and lily grass.

They purchased the loose flowers and off they went, didn't want to pay the extra to have me make the bouquets.

Okay because clearly you have had so much success already. Fine. Bye-bye.

all i can say is wow. Do you really think they were in the hotel cooler?

Let's hope they were DIY, because even fresh, that's just plain ugly.

WOW. Those were seriously frozen!

Let's hope they were DIY, because even fresh, that's just plain ugly.

I have to wonder if there were any other pieces, those two were the only ones they brought in.

I wanted to laugh that they were so very careful to bring them in their vases of water, like they needed to somehow keep them alive. Hello? They be all but dead, give it up, throw them away.

And really, yep, just plain ugly. Sorry the pics are so bad, but I took them on the sly while the people were looking in my cooler, I doubt they would have appreciated that.
