Cute or not?

[stepcutgirl]

I can't decide.

For you or for your BM's?
What do the BM's dresses look like?

I think its really different, and pretty, but would like to see what the rest of the wedding looks like.

 

[stepcutgirl]

For me. The girls dresses are strapless ruched short and black. They will be carrying hot pink Gerber daisy's. I planned to carry the same except maybe add in white orchids to theirs since we are using white orchids in other places and leave mine the gerbers but then I saw this and at first I loved it but then I was like...I'm not sure.

Honestly, I think it's really cute, but not really great for a wedding...it reminds me of a prom for some reason. But if you like it then I say, go for it!

I think it would look better if the feathers were not sticking out as much. I do think the feathers add a "uniqueness".

Yes, prom! Or a quinceañera or something. Don't get me wrong, I think they are cute. But I'm not sure if "cute" is what you are going for.

I'm not sure of exactly what I'm going for. I had decided on the gerbers with orchids and then I saw this and I really liked it. It left me all confused about what I want.

I can see why you like it, because I find it fun to look at...but I feel like it will 'cheapen' your overall look. And I don't mean that in a bad way, even though I don't see how it can be taken any other way...I just feel like your dress is elegant and beautiful, and this bouquet is funky and fun and teen-ish and not a good fit.

I also don't like the uniformness of the bouquet with the more wild, organic feel of the feathers. I feel like this look might work better with some cream/off white flowers added to make it more bridal, and off white feathers, not black. I also feel like the bouquet itself should be more organic, and not so round. Maybe then it would be more wedding appropriate.

I think it looks a little prom-ish because it's only two colors. If you had multiple hues of pink with the black, I think it would give the bouquet more dimension and make it pretty. I can't decide if I like the idea of black feathers though, and think with your current color scheme ivory/white may be the way to go.

As of now I like the concept, but it reminds me a little of a feather boa.

We were posting at the same time, but you said what I was thinking in a better way. The flowers are too constricted to then have the flourish of the feathers. I think the whole bouquet needs to loosen up a bit.

Cheapen it was exactly what I was thinking but couldn't put my finger on. Thanks! I do like this but it does seem very fun and teen-ish.

This is the type of bouquets I want for myself and the girls, only I will somehow add orchids to theirs and leave mine the plain gerbers. I know thats a little backwards of normal but i really like the simple look of just gerbs for me. No crystals in the center though.

i like the second pic you posted (sans crystals) MUCH better than the one w/the feathers. the feathers don't really "flow" with gerbera daisies & having the black ones poking out from pink daisies does make it look young & cheap. stick with you original bouquet ideas.


but i still love your dress; it's so romantic! (and bm dresses too! the pink will pop great against the black dresses!)

I like this much better. Sans crystals, as you said.

I do like the funkiness of the feathers, although it kind of looks like the bouquet ate a bird and then burped the feathers.

This is exactly how I feel. I really like incorporating feathers into bouquets and centerpieces but the one's that I've seen also have a variety of flowers and at least some of those with long stems.

Another vote for the second bouquet sans crystals - gf said it perfectly! Neither element is problematic, they're just - all out of place together like that.

I just snorted tea everywhere

Sorry, I have to vote not. Love it for something fun like a prom, or maybe a new years eve centerpiece.... you get the idea.

But for your wedding, I would go with the gerber daisies sans crystals and feathers. I think sometimes simple is best. I totally get wrapped up in things I see- i.e. Brooch Bouquet....and once I started sharing pics of the idea my bridesmaids told me like it is- cute but not for me/my wedding. At first I was offended but now I see their point of view and am happy I am doing traditional flowers.

 

[stepcutgirl]

Thanks ladies!

 

[mrscushion]

I actually really like this bouquet idea. However, I don't think it goes well with your dress. I dunno -- just different styles in my eyes, I guess.
