Hi there ladys!
I need advice. I got my boquet and wanted to make the bridesmaids similar. So I think I figured out what I wanted. I really liked these sprays of lavender in the bridesmaids boquets though, but that didn't go with the uniform look I had on mine. So for grins I added them to mine also. Now I have looked at them so much I can't decide what I like. Would you all take a look and give me your opinions? Leave it in the bridal boquet or not? On the right track with the bridemaids boquet or tear it apart and start over?
TIA

I personally love the way both of them look hun!! I think you did a great job and I wouldn't change either of them. Well, the only slight change I would make MAYBE would be to put a little more of the lavendar the small bouquets... add another sprig or two of it...jsut so there is more lav in theirs and not as much white. But, even that is not necessary.

I like both of them a lot. I'm assuming (correct me if I am wrong) that your bridal bouquet is on the left and the BMs bouquet is on the right. I think the balance of color is great in your bouquet; if anything, you could add some more lavender if you didn't want so much white/ivory.

The only thing I can see that sticks out about the BM bouquet is that, since it is smaller, the greenery (even if it is the same amount) is more obvious and makes the bouquet look more a mix of green, white, and lavender. The bridal bouquet definitely looks like it has mostly white and lavender with a little bit of greenery.

I'm not feeling the sprigs of lavender sticking out of the bridal bouquet. Actually, I'm not feeling it in either bouquet, really, but it looks out of place in the bridal one to me. The BM bouquet looks less formal and doesn't catch my eye as much as it does in the bridal one. This is one of those minor details you probably won't remember later, so don't let this one keep you up at night, ok? OK

I agree with Cru5h. The bridal bouquet is a lovely blend of lavender, ivory and white. The bridesmaids' bouquet is a lovely primarily lavender blend. But the spiky lavender stems are a bit distracting coming from the top. I think the spiky stems need to be a little more balanced, possibly coming out the bottom.

Agree with Crush and Wynelle. I think the colors are beautiful, but the sprigs sticking up are a little distracting.

I agree as well. I would take the sprigs out. Other than that beautiful color scheme.

I love the bridal bouquet but I'm not big on the sprays in it. If you are trying to add more green to it try putting ivy b- hind it. It is your bouquet if you like it keep it that way.

Thanks ladys! I will try to post updated ones tonight. I took the green grass out of mine and ticked the Heather way into the bouquet so it is not near as noticable. As for the bridesmaids I have it all fanned out nicely now and I cut the wire on the heather way back so they are not near as far out there now and cut the green grass on those also. I think with some modifications we have a winner!
