Petal Pushers

All of my flowers were done by me, but the flowers I wanted on my wedding cake. I wanted real Star Gazer Lilies. My mom went a week before and they tried to tell her that they were out of season and it would be hard to get them. I've worked in the floral industry and they guy was full of it. They are available pretty much all times of the year. Especially in July. Anyways, they charged my mom a hundred dollars for ten stems!!! That's outrageous. Especially since they didn't have to arrange them. And on the day before the wedding when we picked them up, none of the flowers had bloomed!! They had been cut too early!! So we had to put them with harsh artificial light to get them to bloom and then out of the ten stems we barely had enough to put on the cake. I don't think I will use them again.
