"Difficult" People

I may be an opinionated lady, but I have always tried to be a team player. Not an "ok-I-don't-care" teammate or a "no-no-no-YOU-decide" teammate, but an opinionated, (and I hope) diplomatic, and integral part of the networks in my life.

Being a teammate to other "difficult" people has proven to be much more of a challenge than my personal quest to not rock the boat. When my will wavers (usually after an extreme lack of sleep, a big ol' bowl of wheat, or finals week) I have to bribe myself to keep the devil of verbiage that wants to belch its way out of my system under control.

I think this ability to "play nice" may be getting worse in my old age! My tolerance level for rudeness, narcissism, and just lack of general awareness and concern for others had plummeted in the last few years. Maybe because I know it's NOT OK to let difficult peoples' behavior persist in the workplace, school, relationships, or family. I realize I may have been a part of the creation of these "difficult" peoples' idiosyncrasies and atrocious interpersonal tics by not addressing them at first blush! I don't think these individuals are horrible people, I just think they have horrific personalities...

I truly would appreciate some "tips and tricks," if you will, on how to deal with people that make me want to reconsider my aversion to poking others' eyes out with my thumbs.

Deborah & Christopher Gregson's “Vintage Aubergine & Classic Romance” Wedding Day at Lytham Hall

I've been looking forward to Debbie's wedding day for ages, so when the great day arrived we were on the ball bright and early decorating Lytham Hall before delivering the bridal bouquets to Debbie's family home.

I introduced our "be-rollered" bride to the exquisite blooms in her autumnal wedding Bouquet.

We pinned on Dad's Metalina Rose Boutonniere, before heading back to the Hall to meet the groom and his party.

Debbie's Groom Chris looked quite magnificent, Rosie had made him a Schwartzwalder Calla lily a Silver Stone Rose, Black Viburnum Berries & Silver Foliages.There was little bit of re-dressing required... The Professional Photographer on the day was simply superb Adam Peter Thorpe, he was all over everywhere, lots of energy and there was a precise attention to detail kind of vibe going on all day. I love his web-site it's beautiful here's a link it's worth checking out.

The Gold Room at Lytham Hall is the most beautiful Civil Ceremony Room for intimate family weddings just like this one.

I arranged two tall vases with elegant vintage style arrangements towering above the room, the dramatic mirrors dominate this beautiful room and the two marble tables seem to be made for our flower arrangements. The top table design was used first on the registrars table and completed the scene for the marriage ceremony.

We framed the front door with our lanterns, ferns and Bay trees.

The Ushers wore Metalina & Viburnum Boutonniere's

This Candelabra graced the centre of the entrance hall

The Groom's gorgeous Mum Christine arrived, Rosie had made her a co-ordinating corsage of Picasso Calla and roses
