tell them lavendar will NOT do, and you want white flowers, period. if they can't give you mums, then give you something else. -- nm

They can't, period. They are on the gulf islands, there isn't a ferry that can do that for them. -- nm

Pender Island is freaking tiny, and kind of isolated by limited ferries. They get flower shipments once a week. -- nm

If I were you (and the fiancee agrees) I'd just cancel the flowers completely and demand a refund. (nm)

they need the rest of the flowers, these ones aren't critical. really, i'd let it slide and not worry, but i wouldn't pay for the lavendar ones. -- nm

Ah, I misunderstood, I thought the lavender was the entirety of the order. Then yes, I'm with you.

if it's not many flowers, maybe a guest coming from the mainland can bring a few bouquets and just make a switch that morning. -- nm

(however, if you are missing those flowers, who would know? throw a couple big candles there instead. don't make yourself crazy.)

why should this just be laid on the bride? Bery doesn't seem to happy about this either and from I gather, he's the groom. -- nm

As I said they should deputize another, maybe irritating relative.

agreed, but in most cases the plans are made to fulfill an image that the bride has been carrying around since before she even met the guy. -- nm
