I just got back this morning from 2 weeks of weddings in DC. There are thousands of new posts to catch up on.

Yesterday was the most intensive floral wedding I think I've ever done. There were three various table arrangements all in hot pinks. Peonies, amazing large pink hydrangea, roses, sweet peas. It was nice to do a large budget wedding again. Love them NY brides.

I was tearing it all down at 1:30 am by myself at the Willard DC. I trained three large metro carts full of stuff down to the loading docks and finished unloading the first when I noticed I had neglected to set the break. It started to roll of the dock and I lunged to stop it only to have the dam thing fall off and smash my big toe. Broke it big time. I screamed like hell froze over. The 7 hour drive home this morning was hell as I had to drive with my left foot as I propped my right up on the dash to keep the throbbing to a minimum. You know what pisses me? The Willard has changed their vendor dress code. All vendors are requires to wear dress slacks and shoes, plus shirt and tie. I usually wear steel toe boots, had I done so I would not have damaged myself. I will be sure to call the Willard tomorrow.

I also wanted to share that one of my freelancers worked for David Tutera in Baltimore on Thursday to help on a 2 million dollar wedding. Nice to hear that.

well welcome home! Hope your big fattie toe is on the mend, and you can spend the week with your foot on a satin fluffy pillow, with your kiddies bringing you bonbons.

Broke my toe years back after I had just started my first floral job then went on a planned 3 day visit to Seattle, shopping and theatre, was a long time healing I can tell you. Stay off of it as much as you can to give it a chance to heal or it takes lots longer.

Would love to see pics of the wedding if you had time to do that.

Glad you are back. Wondered if you were ok... If you are allowed to soak the toe - try epsom salts and vinegar. Old fashioned, but takes some of the hurt out.
