    Drought - doubt it
    Hurricane - Sheltered garden but obviously if PROPER hurricane struck I would have other things to worry about over the flowers!
    Heavy Rain - not so much of an issue, I have "plant umbrellas" that my mother gave me. I can always plant them in pots but I have very good drainage.
    lack of sun - always a risk but I don't see it being too much of an issue, my garden gets sun all day and my flowers generally do okay in mediocre weather
    insect attack - I will attack the insects with everything I have.

    Like I said, I have enough in my budget just in case this goes wrong and I need to buy the flowers wholesale. If I can pull this off it will be lovely, if I can't well I'm sure I will have flowers the year after!

    A sunny spell or a cold spell can advance or retard flowering in bulbs by up to six weeks so you need to be prepared for this. I would contact your wholesaler sooner rather than later to ensure you get the quality and colours you require

    Then I would say as you are so confident that you can do it go for it, good luck and I hope that the day goes well.

    I too agree with your earlier posts, or at least my take on it is this.

    You may just know what you are doing.
    I'm sorry but that is unlikely.

    Crikey, do something for the great day, but please don't take responsibility for tyhe arrangements,:eek::eek::A:A
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
