Hot Enough For Ya?

What we have here, ladies and gentleman, is a situation.

We have a customer who is helping to plan a gala.  She wants to use her florist: us. The other two committee members want to use their florists.  Fair enough.

The very glamorous clothing designer who is the guest of honor has her own florist.  And he's a BIG guy from New York City.  You heard me right, the Big Apple.

DC doesn't want to pay his prices.  The designer doesn't want dreck on the tables.

So 3 of us have been selected to do a sample and send a picture to our local connection, who will send it on to the fashion designer who will then show it, to her florist and he will decide if any of the designs are acceptable. I asked my co worker betty to whip up a little something something.

Instructions: Red.



Ok, red gem stones, red lights, red amaryllis,  2 varieties of red garden roses, red chili peppers, red hydrangea.  Red enough for you?

Coming up this weekend: Platinum and Purple

Color makes the world go round.  The world go round., the world go round.....

  1. I almost broke out in hives reading that. Crazy time. Once upon a time I thought it would be fun to be a florist. Then I made friends with one and saw how hard she worked--especially around the holidays which she never had time for. I never thought about this competitive aspect of it either. Yikes.
