Flower trial photos

I got to see some mockups of our flowers last night. A few things will be bigger or will have slightly different flowers, and the final products should be neater overall (everything except my bouquet was assembled on the spot for me), but I think we'll be very pleased on our wedding day! Here are the photos for those of you who asked to see them:

*** ETA *** I also uploaded them to my bio, so if any of you can't get Photobucket at work maybe you can see them there? If not I will e-mail them if you want.

My bouquet (will be bigger for the wedding, and the green-ish flowers will be more white - two varieties of roses, and lisanthius, freesia and orchids):

BM bouquets (this one was assembled really quickly and it will actually be mini gerberas, not these full-sized ones, but the daisies will be this shade of pink and they will have black centers):

The rose and hypericum berry boutonniere FI requested:

Orchid boutonnieres for the dads (my mom and grandma will have similar corsages): http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e306/mbcdefg/dadbout.jpg

Centerpieces (white hydrangea, the small ones are wax flowers, and the gerberas will be minis and there will be more of them in the final product; there will be green leaves wrapped around the inside of the vases to hide the stems):

Also, it turns out that it's cheaper for me to rent the vases from the florist rather than buy them myself (which is what I was initially told). Luckily I bought only about 7 of them, so I will rent the rest and then will hopefully sell the vases after our wedding. They are 6-inch glass cube vases.

    They are really pretty! I like the colors!! We are doing something similar for our centerpieces.  just hydrengeas in the middle glass container and then the 2 end ones will have spider mums instead.   Such great ideas!!

    Very pretty, who is your florist?
  • edited December 2011
    Everything looks very pretty & fresh with the colors, arrangement. Like the boutenierre choices, too.

    I love the centerpieces; in my opinion, daisies are incredibly fun & a wedding celebration should be fun...

    in short, really loving the big, pink daisies!

    Love them! I think they are all great!  I am thinking of going with gerbera daisies as well. If you don't mind me asking, are they expensive?

    All of your pictures look GORGEOUS!  I had a meeting with Nathan at Avenue Flowers yesterday and we're definitely going to use him.  If we didn't like him, our next stop was going to be AW Flowers.  And, like you, we're using the 6-inch cube vases for our centerpieces, but ours will be all gerbera daisies (no hydrangea) with some green stuff as filler.  Thanks for all of the help last week!  :-)

    They are about $3 a stem.  Not bad at all.
