Ever see a bo-k like this? Kinda vintage, kinda dainty :hehe:
OK So my MOH found me this bo-k in a magazine and I LOVE it-
Only thing is that Im not crazy about stephanotis...
Has anyone ever seen something similar to this? Can anyone suggest something similar? I want it to have a bit of a vintage feel to it.
Thanks guuuurls

i think the flowers are pretty common---its that wrap around the stems that make it so chic--i actually really like it. something a lil different then just standard satin wraps---very cool

I think it is really pretty, my florist warned about gardenia though because it is such a fragrant flower, some people get headaches from smelling it all day.

My exact concern! Is there anything similar to this that will be in season in July?

I love the wrap on that. The flowers are pretty but it's definitely the wrap that makes it stand out.

I don't know when they are in season, but what about peonies? They might make it look even a little more vintage!
I also agree that the wrapping around the stem really "makes" the look!

thats what i wanted- peonies! Theyre in season NOW, so im screwed for july
yea i love that wrap, definatly changes the entire look of a simple bo-k  which is just how i want it! Arghhhh!!!! I just want a delicate, fluffy flower like a peony but not as smelly as a gardenia

Isn't there another kind of rose that has a softer, more vintage look?
I think Jiffy used them in her bouquet or was going to if I remember correctly?!

Re: Ever see a bo-k like this? Kinda vintage, kinda dainty :hehe:
What about lisiantius (sp?). My MOH's bouquet in this picture is made out of them and I know you can also get them before they are opened so there is a mixture...Your's could have less green in it than hers....
I had peonies in March and they weren't supposed to be in season but we lucked out. Maybe they will last until then?
Here's the pic:

I cant remember the name, but what about that type rose that starts with an R, maybe something like Rancoulous- a few girls on here have used them., they remind me of peonies.

Re: Ever see a bo-k like this? Kinda vintage, kinda dainty :hehe:
That is so funny...that was my inspiration bo-k for the longest time. I decided to go with white peonies...but I gave it to my florist because I want the same time of look for the ribbon on the stem. So gorgeous.

Re: Ever see a bo-k like this? Kinda vintage, kinda dainty :hehe:
ok first of all go HERE
It will give you a link to all the flowers in your season. Gardenias I totally forgot are NOT a good flower for you...they brown very easily and will die before she even takes it out of the box....peonies are great too but again...too hot!
i say garden roses and raunaculus, some sweet pea and dendrobian orchids...maybe some lisianthis for that open lush look....I have a pic I'll show u tonight u might like...the dendro orchids are kinda like the stephanoitis too but their more delecate looking and don't smell really....we'll talk tonight. I know my flowers

Re: Ever see a bo-k like this? Kinda vintage, kinda dainty :hehe:
Ranunculus are a flower that look like something in between a rose and a peony - LOVE IT. I am having them in my bo-k. Check if you can have those. I hear they are delicate flowers, but so many are.

I would show the picture to your florist and I am sure they could give you ideas.

that website is awesome, but just watch...its from the UK...its not going to give accurate american seasons for flowers...its going to end up costing more if you have something imported....
