Okay, so i went to the florist last night. It was the owner's brother that helped us, because the owner has another place in LI. I didnt think the guy was very creative. I know that i went in not knowing what i wanted, but from what i've read about others experiences i figured i can just tell him my colors and ideas and he can show me something... He kinda did that. He had the green roses and the berries (for the touch of red) he put them together as a bouquet, and it looked nice and i agreed to it. But he he made me an arrangement of green roses and the berries to take home and the more i look at it the more i hate it.. so.. back to square one.

My stepdad is going to take me to the place in LI to see the real owner because he's the artistic one and the one most brides go to see, so hopefuly i can get a better sense there. I just feel like i have to book there because my stepdad knows the owners and are going to give him a break since he's paying for the flowers..

Soo.. now i was thinking of having the green dresses (because i still dont want the common red BM dresses) and having them carry white flowers with a red ribbon, and the green stems exposed, and maybe i'll carry red flowers with a white ribbon and the green exposed. and then for CPs. i like something like this. I figured i could make the iced branches and give them to the florist so its cheaper.

What do you guys think? (sorry for rambling again)

OMG that is the nicest winter CP I have seen. Its gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! Def go with this, are your colors red?

No.. thats the thing. I dont know if it will look bad with the girls in green and the cps with the red... maybe i can do it like the original picture, and add green somehow in there

you don't have to match your BM's to your CP's... no one is going to look your girls standing near a CP and be like 'EW! They don't match!!'

do what you like.The Matchy Match Rule should have died in the 80's. (not saying that when things match it's bad, just saying brides shouldnt feel like everything HAS to match)

i love the centerpieces you posted.

Thanks. I showed my mom, stepdad and dad and everyone loves it.. and since my stepdad is in the business and knows this stuff, he says the bq's will also be cheaper and I am going to ATTEMPT to make the CPs. Atleast the branches.
