When Matti and I started discussing flowers for her wedding, one thing was for certain--she wanted burgundy DAHLIAS and nothing else would do. Imagine my panic when the first flower source I contacted informed me that dahlias are not available at this time of year. I didn't want to disappoint, so on a hunch I kept going through my list of suppliers until I found someone who could get us what we needed. I was informed that the flowers were coming in small but they seemed to be getting bigger--Maybe by the time we needed them they would be in better shape.
Hurray! The flowers gods smiled upon us and this is what we ended up with for Matti's bouquet. I was relieved and she was ecstatic. More to come on Matti's wedding day...
