Maybe I'm just being "cold" but how important are a multitude of flowers to a wedding anyway? Assuming a bride has something to carry in her hands, no matter how trivial the arrangement, does the rest of the celebration have to be covered with floral arrangements? Granted, I've not been married and we do get 2 dozen roses for $5 to $8 on every street corner here every day - Miami is the port where flowers are imported from South America, So, perhaps I take flowers for granted given how cheap and readily available they are. But if it were me, I wouldn't fret over it. Again, that's just me. We have fresh flowers all over the place every day because it's the "norm" here.
Not having flowers wouldn't ruin my day; not having a groom would..
Agree.
We had a mature couple staying with us a few weeks ago, who got married on Dores beach at the end of Loch Ness during their stay. There was a piper playing traditional Scottish music, the minister and the brides daughter and boyfriend as witnesses.
It was an absolutley lovely little ceremony they had, and before they left here the bride asked if she could pick a few flowers from our garden for her to hold. Of course I said yes.
Afterwards she told me she threw the "bouquet" into Loch Ness.
