Had a wedding order for 150 centerpieces that all needed to be identical

The bride wanted a very specific shade of dusty rose that was hard to match across different rose suppliers. I spent a full day driving to three different wholesalers in the city to get enough of the right color. On setup day, my main delivery van got a flat tire, so I had to move everything into my personal car in two trips. Has anyone else had a big job where every single thing seemed to go wrong at once?

How did you even fit 150 centerpieces in a car?

My cousin once fit a whole patio set in her Honda Civic.

Yeah, I read a blog post once about a florist who had a huge corporate event. They had all the flowers delivered, but the venue's walk-in fridge broke overnight. Everything wilted. They had to source and rebuild two hundred arrangements in like, six hours. Had to call in every favor they ever had. Makes the flat tire thing look almost normal.
