poo poo poo!! - if you have good quality flowers that have been stored correctly prior to the wedding (e.g if it's a hot, make sure they're keept cool) and after the ceremony, at the reception, you should ask the hotel to supply you with a a vase or jug of cold water to place them in during the rest of the day - that way evening guests can see the flowers too - the same goes for the b/maids - ask your florist for 'professional' advice on how to keep them fresh all day - lets face it that's what bridesmaids are for
Hope I don't sound arsey, but you should have what YOU want !!
