Wedding flowers

Yesterday was a thrill...FedEx delivered over 3,000 stems of flowers for my sister's wedding. Many of the names I can't remember, but some of my favorites include: English roses, peonies, hydrangeas, eucalyptus, wax flower, ranunculas, spray roses and stock. I had a field day preparing her table arrangements and bouquets. Good times ahead tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to the Cheesecake Factory cheesecakes she's serving for dessert. :)

Gorgeous flowers, especially the English Roses. Did she get them through http://www.gatheringguide.com/ec/floral_design_florists.html? That's where I'm looking for mine.
