Clean up starts the minute the bride and groom walk out the door. We start collecting everything we brought to the wedding for the bride. The sign in book, pens, left over favors, bubbles, napkins, flutes, cake set (make sure this is rinsed off) are all collected and repacked in boxes to go in the pre arranged car.
While the car is being packed, we start moving all the centerpieces and candles onto one table so the site crew can start breaking down tables. The mother of the bride comes in and decides what she wants to do with the flowers. Most weddings the vases are just rented so flowers must be removed from vases and put into some sort of container if the mother wants to take the flowers.
We run a quick check through all the rooms and make sure nothing has been left behind by the wedding party. Then we gather up our items, the emergency kit, the steamer, the timelines, etc and make sure it is all packed in our car.
At this point, we are all exhausted. We’ve been on the job for over 12 hours, most of that time spent on our feet. We say goodbye to the site crew, make sure the florist or rental company is on the way to pick up his rentals and trudge to the cars.
Just one more perfect wedding completed. Nothing to it…. yeah right….
