Few weeks back, I had an opportunity to join a wedding & bridal florist provider who have been in this service for more than 10 years, Aunt Sally Tan. It was a 2 days wedding florist job for Aunt Sally, I offered myself as assistant & helper; firstly was to learn what is it like being a wedding florist provider, secondly was to offer my hands to her as the schedule of delivery was really tight.

Ball flower – requested by client for the bridesmaid… Beautiful & lovely

Personally, I would say that it’s not an easy job being a florist provider. There are many items that needs to be prepared before hand; while I only join during the actual day for setting up and deco at hotel area. There were many little items and things done by Aunt Sally herself during night – midnight.

Example: The above ball flower was done by Aunt Sally before we join in in the morning. Means, she prepared ready during the night before the actual day.

One of the design I like the most, it’s really beautiful!

Beside being creative as a bridal florist, there were many details that must be taken care off too. When we were decorating the arch; I thought it will be an easy job, but it’s not as colors combinations must match, how many flowers of each designs must be put on to match the arch and so on.

Once we have done with the wedding arch, we head back to Aunt Sally’s place for corsages & hand bouquet for the bridesmaid & bride.

Work in progress – corsages

I did not help out during the corsages session, Aunt Sally & Annie did. While they were busy doing corsages, I went to sleep after taken Vitamin due to sinus; when I woke up…. the corsages were ready!

After finishing with corsages, the making of hand bouquet was started. It was formed by many combination of colors, it was awesome & pretty. The end result of the bouquet is as follow.

Overall, it was a very tired 1 day session with wedding & bridal florist, Aunt Sally. I learnt a lot – specially making flowers, color combination, do & don’t of making a flower.

Hope you enjoy.

Cheers.
