There's an arrangement that my supervisor and manager make when a customer asks for "whatever you want." I've delivered it three times and the smell has been absolutely addicting all three times. Also, it's absolutely beautiful. So I finally got up the courage to ask my supervisor what goes into that arrangement, so I could copy it.
It turns out that the concept behind the arrangement is actually very simple. Usually the florists will ask, "Well, does he/she have a favorite flower? Or a favorite color?" of customers, but in this case the buyer of the arrangement doesn't know. So the florists put a little of every color and every flower in it (and still make it within the right price range), hoping that they'll somehow hit on the receiver's favorite flower or color.
So today I went into the shop with my list of flowers for the arrangement, took it home, and put it all into a big crystal vase I own. Here is the final outcome:
I was short a snapdragon after buying all the flowers and arranging them, so I returned to the store to show my supervisor and manager, and they were very impressed! They said it looked really nice (WOOHOO!). I'm absolutely stoked. I've never done one that big before and it turned out great. It smells just as incredible and the colors are so vibrant, it's like they're dancing. Fantastic!
