Stormy weather.

We have received another lovely, lovely thank you note from our lovely bride Susan who got married over the Bank Holiday weekend in May. She choice a petite, trailing bouquet of creams, whites, cerise and dramatic reds with soft asparagus fern. The flowers we used were roses, two types of peonies, freesias and a delicious spray rose called 'Bridal Piano'. Her bridesmaids wore elegant cream peonies on a pearl wristband as wrist corsages.
The style complimented her bespoke tea length bridal gown which came from a designer shop called 'Dig for Victory'. Paired with probably the cutest red heels with bows on, the outfit was elegant and vintage inspired.
Speaking of drama, shortly after we delivered her bouquet to her at Brighton Marina, the heavens opened and there was an almighty thunderstorm with fork lightning and flash flooding. We nearly had to break out the amphibious Mole Mobile but luckily all was fine. Second piece of drama, when I arrived at Susan's hotel to deliver the bouquet, I discovered that the hotel had changed hands and was now called the Malmaison. Was I in the wrong place? Aaaagh! No, but it was enough to send a nice little jolt of adrenanline through me, fork lightning notwithstanding.
'Hi Barbara
Now that i've at last had a chance to draw breath (we got back from our honeymoon yesterday), I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you very much for your help and guidance in choosing the flowers for my wedding bouquet and for the finished result which was stunning and just what I wanted. I attach a picture which I think shows off the bouquet and button-hole beautifully.
I really appreciated your personal service and attention to detail and can't thank you enough for your unflappable composure and patience, especially when I asked for an additional corsage at short notice and during the worst storm in Brighton this year!
I know that choosing you for my wedding flowers was the best decision I made and wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to anyone.
I'm looking forward to joining some of your workshops in the near future.
Thank you so much again.
With kind regards
Susan Packer'
