Just been dropped that I’m doing the flowers for my bros wedding this Sunday.
I’m seriously not impressed.
If anyone here has ever been to a wedding in Indo (their first wedding) and what her side of the family would (I’m guessing) expect… let’s just say from what I saw they expect a lot of flowers.
Send them an invoice - at wedding planner prices. Include an item for designing the wedding dress and making the wedding cake. Also an item for the days off work you’ve will have to take to get everything done. Sounds like they expect you to do everything but say the vows. This is beginning to look like fraternal abuse. Certainly it’s thoughtless and not nearly enough time to organise everything.
In addition to the invoice suggested by Thornburywitch:
add a priority service fee equal to 150% of your daily pay, or $500 before tax (whichever is larger), for each day off you need to take.
add a priority delivery fee of $1.80 for each km you need to travel, including the flights. If no flights required, then charge $3.00 per km.
add a 20% (of item cost) item provisioning fee for each item you need to procure.
add a stress compensation fee of 50% on top of all that, including Thornburywitch’s line items.
finally, put another 45% on top to give directly to the ATO.
As for the wedding itself, they probably also need to provision a few cows, pigs, and chickens to the parents, and some other gifts dedicated for the bride.

Fuck me
That’d be a “no” from me
Or, just one single flower.
Honestly tempting.
Plenty on the cum trees
Small posies for the bridal party, buttonholes for the groom party and single orchid flowers at tables. Posies for the mothers of the wedding couple

Heh I’m trying to avoid all of that. But yeah it is sort of looking not great.
Yeah, no. What the hell? How disorganised do you get especially for an international wedding?
Cum flowers for them all.
