Carissa + Matt’s Wedding

This weekend I arranged flowers for my cousin Carissa’s wedding.  I had assumed the florist would deliver them ready to be assembled, but no.  The flowers were delivered as purchased, with all the foliage still on.  So I set up a little assembly line and had Dylan help me strip the foliage and sort the flowers, while I assembled the bouquets, cut the stems, and put them into the wine bottles my cousin collected.  Fortunately, I happened to bring a pair of sharp scissors with me.  I arranged the centerpieces on the tables, and finished just in time to grab a quick bite before getting dressed and heading to the ceremony.
