Default Need some help!

I just cant figure it out but something is missing! I'm going crazy here at work cause it just won't hit me. This is the BM flowers! I have not tied it yet because something is missing and I don't want to have to take it apart to fix it. The picture makes it look small but it's really not that small.











(Sorry at work no spell check)

Two things hit me as I looked at the pictures.
Maybe the center flowers are to concentrated. Perhaps if they could not have such a tight line around them. Wiggle and relax it a bit.
Either that or some sort of greenery or filler to go in there to soften the lines a bit.



Actually, I lied....3 things.
WOW, those are so pretty. You have a great talent.

OR...maybe a smaller white rose in the middle of the color, oh, heck, now I am over thinking. LOL

I wiggled it out a little and no it didn't look good at all. The flower in the middle is one flower not a bunch put together. I also tried to put a cream flower in the middle and nope it didn't do nothing.

I like them the way they are, but perhaps a few of those "stick-up" pearly or crystal things, or some greenery would spice things up a bit.

This is the first thing that came to my mind too. I love the crystal stick things (whatever they are called).

I would say something that will sparkle a little.

Something sparkly as already mentioned or maybe some sprigs of lavender throughout the white? Needs a little shine though.

+2!!! I like that idea! Or maybe some pearl strand or spray glitter....something to give it a touch of 'umph'.

Thanks I'm going to look for some crystal sprays. I really just wanted to use it on the brides flowers but I guess I'll have to figure out something bigger for hers.

I agree, on first look it seems to be missing something... but I think once you tie it together and it is in someone's hands it will look fine.

But if you want to do the crystal things, I saw them on e-bay for like $25 for 15 of them (or something like that)... I think they were called floral jewels. But I'm pretty sure I've also seen them at Michaels... I'm sure I don't have to tell you this - but be sure to check with the bride first that she's ok with those kind of "embellishments". Some brides (like me) like the more natural look...

I've sent her the pictures but she is at work so I'm sure it will be tonight when I hear from her. I keep thinking it will be different once I get it tied but I don't want to tie it till it finished.

Default how to hand tie a bouquet

hi i was looking at your flowers i love the colour combo and what you have done so far I was wondering about the stems tho could I ask you how you did them did you put the hyrdrangea in the middle of a bunch perhaps the stems could be done a little differently to make it look more like a reg stem and you can put some crystals in it that would really punch it up a bit I would be happy to help you wtih them if you would like the help no problem
