To add or not to add baby's breath to centerpieces?

Just in general I'm on the fence whether or not I like baby'e breath in centerpiece's or not. I've seen some that look unbelieveable with it and some that I don't like so much that has it and also vice vers. Please take my poll, I'd like to see some opinions.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

That is VERY old school and will bring down the look of your centerpiece... the same goes for Ferns as well!!

IMO

I am not a fan of babys breath as a filler... you could try queens anne lace also as a better alternative

Re: To add or not to add baby's breath to centerpieces?

I chose 'other' it just took me a few min to find pics of the 'other'... I am VERY anti-baby's breath. I like seeded eucalyptus (first 2 pics) or 'Millionstar' gypsophila or white wax flower (3rd pic)

Re: To add or not to add baby's breath to centerpieces?

there are so many pretty fillers out there.... just look at bouquets on knot.com, and see which ones you like. For my personal taste, I'm not that excited by baby's breath or stephanotis... but I know my tastes are rather unconventional....

Re: To add or not to add baby's breath to centerpieces?

I am lost when it comes to flowers

if it's not a rose I have no idea what it is

I'm going to need a lot of help with flowers.

Re: To add or not to add baby's breath to centerpieces?

I voted no. I'm not a big fan of BB and often I find it 'cheapens' the look of the CP. JMO.

Re: To add or not to add baby's breath to centerpieces?

Not my taste personally, but it really depends on what type of flowers you are using.

Re: To add or not to add baby's breath to centerpieces?

I don't like babies breath. I'm doing only roses in my CPs and I'm not adding any filler or greens. Partially it's because I'm doing my own flowers, but mostly it's because I think it looks more modern and sophisticated that way.

but if you do like filler, try a different one like lamb's ear or dusty miller. I have no idea how expensive those are, I've seen them in Martha Stewart Weddings!

Re: To add or not to add baby's breath to centerpieces?

I really like the look of roses mixed with hypericum berries--they come in all sorts of colors, so they can go with any sorts of roses. Usually you see them in red or pink but i know they come in yellow, too. I've also seen blue-toned berries, but I think that's another type. You can even add fruit to your centerpieces! I think it looks great. Check out the current Martha Stewart Weddings, she has an article about fruit in centerpieces, and also one about rose bouquets.
