The groom as a sidekick... I love it!

.....I agree....and yes...good thing to call them and reassuring them: " Yes, everything is done and in "the Box!" ...so they can relax! :~)

Yeah I must admit I am also leaning towards the ' don't show the bride the flowers before her big day'. When ordered there would be nothing I could do really about it unless I chase up all the growers/wholesalers and that is something that I really do not want to be doing twice!!! Bride's are definately an emotional wreck and they are really the last person I want to see or even talk to about their flowers....so much can go wrong. BUT I do however give them a call after I have finished and ensure them that the flowers are perfect and to wish them a wonderful day.
I just find it funny when a bride has been ' dreaming about this day all of her life' and when something goes wrong its ruin the WHOLE thing! It almost seems like the groom is just a sidekick who looks nice in a suit hahaha:rofl:

Queenie ( Queen of Weddings ) I think your wonderful if you are calling them up the day before the wedding and letting them check out the flowers. In my case I wouldn't dare...BUT if it works for you then thats fabulous and thats what you stick too.
I am at the stage where I am learning to do the weddings properly and have colour charts,disclaimers etc etc or do not do them at all....that way just like ' flowerchatter ' said it is definately Their Day, Their Flowers and Our Reputation that is on the line at the end of the day!!! Thank you for writting that because it has changed my frame of mind
Silly brides....really need a good kick up the youknowwhaters!!!! hahaha
