"I can't think of anything more stressful than weddings." And that's from someone who isn't even going to be walking down the aisle. Brent Pritchard, an independent wedding floral designer, wants the flowers at a wedding to be perfect.

"Sometimes the product will look better with a substitute," she says. "If we have the flexibility to do that, we can make truly beautiful bouquets."
