Izvornik
A Wedding Bouquet was the idea of Lord Berners, who wanted Frederick Ashton to make a ballet pantomime out of one of Gertrude Stein's plays and who both wrote the music and designed the "decor" and costumes. The name of the play was 'They must be Wedded to Their Wife', but this was thought too long for advertising and was changed to A Wedding Bouquet. Lord Berners went to visit Gertrude Stein in Bilignin and she liked the idea and he found in her house a carpet which gave him the pattern for the backcloth for the ballet. The ballet was first spoken of as a choral ballet and the opera chorus did sing or chant the words at the early performances, but it was entirely unlike any other choral ballet before or since. The words explained the action, introduced the characters, made utterly irrelevant comments, worked themselves into a frenzied rhythmical accompaniment or injected on occasional apt phrase that devastated dancers and audience alike. Not all of the words have ever been really intelligible but gradually the audience got to know certain phrases by heart and the ballet has a devoted public, although inevitably it has always been a rather special one and to this day there are people who detest the whole affair, don't 'understand' it, and think it an absurd waste of time and talent.
Prijevod
Vjenčanje buket je ideja Gospodina Berners, koji je želio Frederick Ashton napraviti balet pantomimu iz jednog od Gertrude Stein drama i koji su i napisao glazbu i dizajnirao "dekor" i kostime. Naziv igre je 'Oni moraju biti vezani za svoj supruge, ali to je mislio predugo za oglašavanje te je promijenila na svadbu Bouquet. Gospodin Berners otišao u posjet Gertrude Stein u Bilignin i ona svidjela ideja i on je pronađen u njenoj kući tepih koji mu je dao uzorak za backcloth za balet. Balet je prvi put govorio kao zborski balet i opernog zbora ni pjevati ili recitirati riječi ranim nastupima, ali to je u potpunosti za razliku od bilo kojeg drugog zborskog balet prije ili poslije. Riječi objasnio djelovanje, uvodi likove, napravio posve irelevantne komentare, sami radili u pomahnitao ritmički pratnju ili ubrizgava se na povremene apt izraz koji je poharao plesačice i publiku podjednako. Nisu sve riječi ikada bili jako razumljiva, ali postupno publiku upoznao neke fraze napamet i balet ima odanu publiku, iako neizbježno je oduvijek bila vrlo posebna i danas postoje ljudi koji su mrziti cijeli Afera, ne 'razumije' ga, i mislim da je apsurdno gubljenje vremena i talenta.
