Where you tend a rose...

A few days ago I touched base with our florist one last time before the big day.
No changes to the order, everything set, good to go.
Then my phone rang yesterday.  Not a good sign right?
 
Rannaculus
Apparently the rannaculus flowers I requested are coming into the flower market looking rather sad.
So not a horrible problem, but still not good to hear 9 days out. 
 
My florist remembered me mentioning that I'm not a big fan of roses and had been combing through her floral books looking for a similar fluffy white flower.


Plan B: Garden Roses or David Austen Roses.  While it's still a rose, it has a more fluffy look to it.
Carnation
Plan C: The Queen of Flower Fluffiness (yes that's an official title) the carnation.  While carnations tend to get a bad rap, I think they are pretty. One or two in a small vase, yeah not a great effect.  Give them a chance in larger arrangements though and they really step it up!  We already plan to have purple and white carnations in my bouquet so these could easily replace the rannaculus.

So pretty!
  I've never been too worried about the flowers so this issue really isn't making my head spin. 
We have a plan, and I'm sure it will all work out! If not, oh well!
