A New York florist is being hailed as a hero after standing in the rain for 30 minutes to hold a wedding’s ceremony flowers in place so they wouldn’t blow over. The wholesome moment, captured on TikTok, has since gone viral, with viewers praising the florist for going above and beyond.
Various users showed their appreciation for the florist on her client’s special day, with many praising her dedication. Others said they would have felt guilty watching someone lie in the rain on their behalf, while some wedding professionals said they completely understood why she did it.
The short clip features a wedding happening in the foreground, with the bride, groom, and officiant in the middle of the ceremony. The camera then zeroes in on the floral display directly behind the officiant.
You can quite literally see a blonde woman lying down on the ground and holding on to the display. Around her are rain puddles, implying that it had been raining for quite some time.
The person who posted the video is a wedding planner who makes sure to give the florist credit in the video, writing, “Someone give this girl a raise!!!! She held up the floral installation for 30 minutes in the pouring rain so it would stay in place for the couple.”
Judging by the footage, the florist appears to be completely hidden from guests, with her head lying on the floor. It is not clear why the arrangement required someone to physically support the display, though several commenters speculated it was a perfect storm of events that made it unstable.
Comments and Reactions to Florist Holding Display Down During Rainy Wedding
Many commenters praised the florist’s commitment and said they hoped she was properly compensated for her efforts. One of the top comments reads, “Wow I hope her business is FLOURISHING after this post.”
Another person wrote, “I would never expect someone to do this but the fact that she probably did it willingly without any hesitation says a lot about her. She deserves a raise, a promotion, a car, a house, RETIREMENT AT 35, 😭.”
Several viewers admitted that they would have been uncomfortable allowing someone to remain in the rain for so long. One person wrote, “I could not focus on my wedding knowing I was the reason another person was laying on the cold wet ground. Their passion or not, I could never.“
As the video continues to circulate online, many viewers are using it as an example of just how much effort wedding vendors put into making a couple’s special day memorable, even if it means lying in the pouring rain to do it.
