Dovedale Florist

In full wedding panic mode the week of my dad’s wedding, I was still trying to find blue flowers for the church arrangements (I mean, who has blue flowers for a wedding — surely they should be reserved for christenings. BOYS’ christenings). The poor woman in Dovedale Flowers looked just as baffled as me.
However, when I specifically asked whether she had pale blue flowers, she pointed out some quite obviously deep lilac flowers. To some, it may only be a subtle difference of hue. To me, it was a grave error and didn’t improve my mood. Yes, maybe she was trying to be helpful and suggest an alternative to alleviate my stress. Or maybe she was slightly colourblind, in which case I’d be dubious about ordering flowers over the phone. I really hope it was the former otherwise the future does not bode well…
Still, a nice, bright florist with a limited amount of flowers on display but enough to get the general idea and a decent selection of silk flowers too.
