All right, my lords and ladies, here's the question for the end-of-
week.  This question came in from the Steward's Office via FTD (you
know, flowers by wire; they presumably got Hilary's number out of the
directory of organizations) from a florist in Redding.  And he wants
to know:

	What kind of floral decorations would you have seen at a
	large, lavish, Renaissance wedding?

And the reason, of course, is that he needs to put together the flowers
for somebody's large, lavish Renaissance wedding (presumably not an SCA
person, or they would've gone directly to sources and not through FTD).

The wedding itself isn't till May, but he would like to have _some_ ideas
by Monday, which is when the bride has to go back to school in London.

So: any ideas?  Rough outlines for the florist to get started with?  
REFERENCES that he could look up--or we could look up for him--between
now and May?  Please  post or e-mail me at cozzlab@garnet.berkeley.edu
as you choose, and I'll summarize and forward.  Hilary thanks you and I
thank you.
