Help me w/flowers! My final appt is Tomorrow! UPDATED 4/13

So yea for my final appt tomorrow I decided to make a bunch of small changes and a bigger change to our tall centerpieces.

I chose this picture as an idea for my bo-k


These as my BM's


The bo-k in front as my MOH's...it has her favorite flower calla lilys in it.


First our small centerpieces look like this.

This is the pic I sent her.

and this is the same she made us in Sept.

They look very similar, I just want less leaves and have it alot fuller.


So now I completely want to change our tall centerpieces. This is the sample. I liked it but now I HATE it. I hate the babys breath and the leaves and stuff. I liked the branchy look then but now I want something more simple and elegant.



Im also considering using a tall vase with orchids in it with water and having the arrangement on top. I have a picture at home but I cant find it right now at work.

Does anyone have pics of tall centerpieces like what Im talking about?

My florist is charging $75 for that ugly centerpiece so Im sure its not gonna cost alot more for ones on candleabras or vases right?

UPDATE:
So we changed practically everything and added everything mentioned above. Of course that raised our balance but I think its going to look amazing.

We're going for this base:

PreshusSmurf's centerpiece


The top isnt going to be as full cuz it raised the price by alot unlessss we wind up having less tables so we'll go for the fuller look. So for now it'll look like this except with green and white hydrangeas and lavendar roses

It shouldnt - and i dont like all those leaves - its like a lot of filler and you are paying a lot for flowers- and the babys breath has to go - the other pics are beautiful - just needs more flowers

yea i haaate the babys breath. so hopefully for a tall cp with a vase or candlebra, it wont cost more than $100..if it does I can go as high as $120 cuz we dont have many tables anyway.

Re: Help me w/flowers! My final appt is Tomorrow!

The colors aren't what you're going with, but maybe the style is similar???

I had roses and hydrangeas too (mixed with some other stuff that I can't remember the names of, but I am sure your florist will know) ... with a vase that had orchids in it

This was my sample CP:

Re: Help me w/flowers! My final appt is Tomorrow!

I hope it went well at the florist. Sorry, I'm a little late at reading your post. I also booked Wick's and they seem to work w/ you want & are open to suggestions. I upgraded the centerpieces that came w/ the RH package and they do charge for using the vases and other bases for your centerpieces. I actually am supplying them with vases and dropping them off the week before. You can save money by doing the same. You can pick up the tall glass centerpiece vases at ACMoore. I always see them on sale for no more than $8 each and they're really nice.
