    I need some advice so me and my H2B and I have asked one of our friends to help with our wedding flowers she was really keen but had a baby last week so now I'm thinking it will be too much. W e have found some one who would do everything flower wise including table decorations for £300 and I think i want to go with her but I don't want to disappoint the friend we have asked. I really don't know what to do x

    Perhaps you could compromise and have your friend just do the bouttonieres or the bridal bouquet? It'll take a bit of pressure off her. Depends if it'll work out budget wise though!

    Tell her how u feel, say that u know a new baby takes up a lot of time and attention and if she would like u can get them done at where it was u got a quote from , explain its affordable for u and u really appreciate her offering it meant a lot, but u have respect that her baby needs her a lot at the moment- i find if ur honest with people and it comes from the heart then theres less upset in life and its more genuine. you could maybe if u wanted ask her to give advice when booking flowers if u want her involvement still so shes not upset?

    id ask her first, she might like the break from the baby to do the flowers, the baby will be over 3 months so they get easier and by then she will be in a routine.

    Personally I would say to her that you appreciate the offer to do them but because the clocks ticking down to the fast approaching wedding it may be better to have them done by someone else who has the time to do the lot however, if she still wants to do something could she make it into gift? i.e. flowers for the Mothers?

    I would just ask her if it will be too much for her. You may hurt her feelings if you dont ask but she might be wondering how to tell you if it is to much for her. I think you just need to be honest here and the right outcome will prevail x

    Yeah I think im going to have to talk to her she is so keen to be involved but i think a new born and a 2 year old will just be too much for her to get the time to get them done x
