Had a few glitches prior to the wedding.  Wasn’t able to get the snapdragons that I ordered when they came in they were not the right color.  I had to airbrush bells of Ireland.  We also recieved bt pink alstromeria instead of the dark red I ordered so more airbrushing.    Thank goodness for the ability to airbrush.
