At the dear old age of 89, Nana Betty is fast winning the heart of the nation after acting as her granddaughter’s bridesmaid.

Elizabeth Govern (or Nana Betty as her family call her) was asked by her granddaughter Christine to be one of her four bridesmaids because they’re BFFs and by the looks of things she stole the show.

Christine had to plead her grandmother to take on the job and after asking her about 10 times Nana B finally agreed and stood beside the bride at her 2 May wedding.

“The decision was easy given the strength of our relationship,” Christine, from Pennsylvania told Huff Post. “Who doesn’t want her best friend standing beside her on her wedding day?”

Take a look at the life of a florist behind the scenes…

Victoria rises super early three times a week to arrive at the

wholesale flower market by 4am.

There she hand selects all of the beautiful blooms sold in her store and for

special orders, weddings and events.

Thank you Laura Manariti Photographs for following Victoria and Leah around market and providing these wonderful pictures.

Congratulation to BBrooks member florist Andrea Halliday and her crew at Table & Tulip, MA, for receiving the Best of Boston 2015 award!

Lisa and Ron Pritchett opened Lilium Floral Design in 2008 fulfilling a decades-long dream.  Revenue has increased between 20 percent and 30 percent each year and last year the business registered a 35 percent increase in volume over the previous year.  The full-service shop tests every new flower variety or batch from a new supplier to ensure that the longevity will satisfy the customers.  If stems don’t last in the test vases in the shop, then Lisa will repurchase.

This record of success, stunning floral design, and commitment to sales and customer service led to Lilum Floral Designs designation as 2015 Retail Florist of the Year in annual contest co-sponsored by Florists’ Review and the Wholesale Florist & Florist Supplier Association.
