It seems that the florist had messed up the flower arrangement. It is not like we hadn't given him careful instructions. I know that flower arrangements for weddings are among the most important decorative elements. They were the last thing that we picked out, and meant to reflect all the other elements. Flower arrangements for weddings, you see, do not stand alone. They have to reflect the bridesmaid dresses, the bridal gown, and the decorations of the room. Everything has to be taken into account or else nothing will look right. I had worried that the flower arrangements for weddings would not look right, but it did not even occur to me that the florist would screw up the order. I figured that it might look different once we got into the room and not reflect the other elements of the décor the way that I wished. But when he screwed up at the last minute, it was more than I could take.
It wasn't like the flower arrangements for the wedding were slightly off. They were plain old wrong. If the flower arrangements for weddings had been, say, a lighter shade of purple instead of the dark purple that I had chosen, it would have been alright. As it was, they were completely different. I assume that he mixed them up with some other flower arrangements for weddings ordered by some other wedding party. They were probably having the same nervous breakdown that I was having right now. Instead of the dark violet floral bridal bouquet that we had desired, we are presented with a series of Calla lily arrangements. I think that calla lilies make great flower arrangements for weddings, but they didn't go along with anything. They clashed horribly. All the guests were polite about it, but I can't believe that no one noticed!
