Bouquets- CHECK. (PIP)

footballwife77 · December 2012

I've been sick for 4 days now. First I couldn't breathe and I had a runny/stuffy nose. Now operation sore throat is in effect. But that can't stop me. *doing my John Cena*

I decided to bust out the wedding stuff since Fiance is waiting on me hand and foot and doing the dishes, cleaning, ordering the boy around, etc... (AWWWWW). I couldn't get the Pearls in 2 of the bouquets because the way the wire stems are so I had to slant those ones. Question 1: does that look dumb? Also, I messed up the bottom of my bouquet with the satin so I put the pins at the bottom to mask that- I didn't want pins, but I also didn't want to re-do them. Question 2: Does it look dumb with the pins at bottom? Question 3: Can I leave bm's bouquets without pins at bottom.

Below is picture of Bouts, kitty getting in my way, and the finished bouquets! Now onto corsages.....

Bouts look fine... my question is how do they look flushed against a lapel?.. do they lay properly? I think the bouquets look good with the pins.. and looking at the pic I don't think the bm bouquets need pins at the bottom... And.....YAYYYY KEYS!!!!!! LOL

Question 1

Answer: No, they do not look dumb. I like them slanted. Most pins will slant because it's hard to get them in the stem straight when using artificial flowers. Mine were slanted too. If where the pins are are the back of the bouquet, you won't be able to see them anyway.

Question 2

Question to your Question and answer...sort of: Are your pins at the underside bottom (if so, I can't see them so keep it as is since it can't be seen). If you are talking about towards the end of your stems of your bouquet, I think it looks fine as well.

Question 3

Answer: Yes, they look nice just as they are in the picture.

Several Sidenotes: I hope you feel better Tash, but it sure is nice to be waited on hand and foot. Just fake being sick a little while longer ;-). Mari mentioned keys...does that mean they were found?!?!?! Question: so I don't get to keep the boy? LOL!!! Kitty is precious...I'll babysit kitty too!!!

Your day is approaching soon!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!!! You will be a beautiful bride!!! I can't wait!!!!
