The Bistro and I have an arrangement that I provide them with flowers every ten or so days. They want plain and simple designs; which means only one flower per vase. This can be a bit tricky as there aren't many flowers which allow theme selves to stand alone, especially on a tight budget.
I am going to the market in a few minutes...in fact, as soon as I finish this post...to get some flowers for the Bistro.
The first thing I do to prepare is to grab The File with a list of (mostly) all the flowers at the market in order to get a visual. Today I would like to try and get Asters (Callistephus) as they are a bit quirky. The vases are quite small, so I might be able to cut the flowers short and fit them in.
I need to fill 15 small vases and then one larger vase. Hopefully we can find some Golden Bird (Solidago) and beautiful Deep River Iris'.
This might seem a little loud, but the Bistro is all about pairing strange colours together to create a perfectly peaceful atmosphere.
I will keep the details of the auction at the market for another day...especially for the day that I get a big order that necessitates me to go. The orders for the Bistro are too small to buy from the auction, so I buy from the smaller wholesale shops instead.
Here are some pictures of the market.
This is the entrance:
This is the auction floor which I will tell you more about on another day.
This is how flowers are displayed at the shops (even though the photo is the right side up on the computer..I cannot get the blogger to keep it that way...sorry guys 0_o )
This concludes the tiny section of one of my days in the week. I will keep you posted on how the flowers at the Bistro turned out!
