First crunch time

The week started off pretty calm then sky rocketed into crunch time by Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday morning was the only time this week we had time to focus on a different event other than the wedding to take place this weekend. We had an appointment with the florist at the Phoenician to discuss the best and most affordable way to do the flowers for an event we are hosting early next month. It was really interesting to learn how many types of flowers there are and the effort it takes to make an event look elegant and unique in the floral aspect. Also it was interesting to learn that because we are in Phoenix no flowers are really in season, leaving endless options for any time of the year for special events.

We have spent the rest of week preparing for our first event of the season, and let me tell you tying up lose ends for an event in town leaves room for error, if you forget something you can still get it later. This wedding will be taking place just outside Cancun, Mexico so we have till Alisha gets on that plane Friday to have everything perfectly prepared. We spend the remainder of today packing the 10+ boxes that Alisha will be taking on the plane with her today, including gifts for the guests and home made maracas by the children to be used instead of throwing rice. The small details are endless. Everything has to be tested and perfected before being packed and shipped. There was a last minute change on the guest gift packaging that had to be switched out and redone before Friday. My dining room looked slightly chaotic yesterday.



Tuesday we picked up the canopy that Alisha designed and the seamstress sewed instead of renting one on location, it will look awesome, and in the wedding colors no less. I will try and post some pictures of the finished product next week.

Like this post this week was chaos, I love this part the best so far in my internship, I thrive under pressure and that is where we are right now, everything depends on Alisha and I's work to make sure everything will go perfectly, Luckily Alisha will be down there to make sure everything runs smoothly.
