Weddings, Weddings, Weddings

Well, it has been a long few months at Bergerons! We have had one wedding after another. Each wedding has been so different from the next: large and small, contemporary and traditional, elegant and fun. Guaranteed to delight in any form, they have been wonderful to be a part of.

After twenty-one years in the business, I still get excited about each wedding and look forward to the boxes of flowers that come into the shop for each one. The boxes come in from our purveyors and I feel like it's Christmas. Just opening the box and checking out the bunches of flowers we've special ordered for each wedding, watching the flowers open to their pristine best, and then arranging them in to the designs the bride has chosen. To see the bride's face on the day of the wedding when we present the bouquet elicits a feeling in my stomach that I never tire of experiencing.
