Rehearsal dinner decorations question

I have never had a problem asking the TJ’s manager to special order or set things aside for me. Last year I needed 15 small pots of “something pink” for a shower-- plus a “larger version” for the buffet table. I asked the manager of my local TJ’s for help- she showed me pictures on her tablet of both small rose bushes in pale pink and celadon plants in a deep pink. I told her they were both fine-- but I was nervous about them not being there when I picked them up the morning of the shower ( a Sunday). She assured me that the service desk would be expecting me.

And there they were- 15 small pots of fuschia/magenta celadons, and a large centerpiece sized deep pink hydrangea AND a rose bush. (manager couldn’t get a large enough celadon so she subbed in). And a note “Sorry I’m not working today, hope everything works out beautifully”.

Since then I pretty much always order ahead of time. Need three hydrangea branches in deep blue for a dinner party? Call ahead. I needed 10 of those tiny cactus/succulent plants for a cousins event- the hostess wanted to stick place cards in them and put me in charge of finding them. Easy peasy.

Good luck!
