3 weeks tomorrow

well........the day at capernwray went well yesterday...planning all the finer details like head counts for meals and sleeping and stuff and what rooms need how many microphones and what size tables I need for things such as the guest book, which roof and tower the photographer can climb up, where to put cones so the horse and carriage can get through, who is ordering what napkins and how many, how much more organza needs to be ordered, where EXACTLY I can put thumb tacks (drawing pins) all those kind of fun things. I arrive there with my plans and lists a plenty, all printed and I feel all professional and within 2 minutes I feel like a ditz because I missed my parents off the sleeping list, forgot I had to feed the jazz band and chair cover people and hadn't even thought to think about what microphones I would need where and how many. Thankfully there are people to make me aware of the need to consider these things.

This morning, around 8 a HUGE box (literally the size of half our hall way) arrives filled with oasis blocks, florist tape, wir, baskets and a sample of the flowers I am ordering for the wedding. I am ordering the flowers wholesale, they will come direct from the huge flower auctions in Holland which means I can have zillions of flowers. Today I made a rose bridesmaids bouquet which cost 6-8pounds but all 5 of the florists I checked out would have charged 65 for the exact same thing. It has been really fun playing around with flowers today, I made test runs of 2 table centres, my bouquet, the grown up bridesmaids rose bouquets and the younger bridesmaids calla lilly bouquets.

I think being a florist would be really fun.

We bought some vacumn seal bags today and then shrunk my big duvet and pillows and stuff into them. It was pretty crzy seeing them shrink down so fast. I am half way through packing.

ALSO TODAY my Mum and I went to see the new movie 'No Reservations" I really liked it, I am looking forward to seeing it with Andy I think he'll like it a lot. It is a romantic comedy set in a restaurant kitchen.
