This week was a hectic week- I started by pulling for a wedding, this means that I took product that had been rented out of our inventory so it can be used for the event. Once the items are collected into one central location, it is then cleaned and checked off of the list and label so it can get to the proper wedding or event. This first week we had 6 total weddings and 2 other events happening. I got to help process a good amount of flowers and I learned there methods and procedures for doing so. I have never seen or heard of dipping hyds. into water head first and also bells. Later in the week I also worked with Jelly balls and they are so cool, these clear beads make it look like petals or flowers are suspend/floating in water.
Tuesday I went to help set up at a boat show. We were providing anything from the show tent to the plants around the resort, we set up umbrellas and lots of furniture. This was all done for the Bennington company. Bennington got everything customized and we provided it all for them. I loved getting to be behind the scenes of such an event.
Wednesday and Thursday I continued to pull out and clean our inventory. I also got to process flowers that came in. I also got the rare opportunity to be able to pull and then complete the floral that went with what I had pulled, so I pulled out the vases for the wedding and then I put the floral in vase as well and it was one less thing that the floral girls had to deal with.
Friday is BRIDE day- I got to help do two different set ups the first one was just decorating the table tops and placing the floral at the church. The second wedding was a huge thing and we worked from 5 pm until 2:30 am it was great we set up 50 tables and placed 400+ chairs I then got to go around and tie the decorative ties on the chairs. We also placed chargers and napkins and the place cards. The men that were with us did the lighting and the draping of fabric over the dance floor. The tables all got 18 different kinds of halos and votive candles. The whole process was just that a process.
