I absolutely LOVE my florist, I went to a local place in East Islip.. she is so sweet and kept throwing things into my package and she actually let me keep the sample bouquet!

It will be bigger, and its red and black magic roses with stephanotis.

NOW, I dont know how thrilled I am with the red pearl beads in the middle of the stephanotis. Is it too much? Or kinda neat and different? Opinions Please!

ETA: Im definitely getting less of the 'greens' I think it looks too Christmasy.

The bouquet is really pretty, but I have to admit that before I even read your post, I was wondering why there were red things in the stephanotis. I like the look of the pearls or crystals in them. It's give it a little something extra without being too much. Right now, my eye is immediately drawn to those red beads.

I agree

I agree-the red beads draw your attention away from the rest of the bok

The stephanotis looks huge, I've never seen them that big. If you want to keep the red pearls maybe you could do smaller stephanotis with smaller red pearls.

I think the red is too much. It takes away from the roses. I would consider the crystals or pearls in white.

Stephanotis is such a beautiful, delicate flower...I think the red beads detracts from their simplicity, which is what I really love about them...JMO

The bo-k is beautiful ....... but I would leave out the red beads........it's very distracting. I found my eyes zooming in on just that and not really taking in the rest of the bo-k at first!

I would put white beads in instead.... i think it looks like a push-pin stuck into the middle of a flower the way it is now. i think the white is more delicate.

I love the bo-k, but I agree, I think the red beads are a bit too much. Otherwise, it's gorgeous!!

I am personally not a fan of the red beads in the stephanotis. i would say either go with clear or pearls.

The bouquet is beautiful otherwise.

The bok is beautiful but I would definetely use pearls or crystals rather then the red beads. What florist did you use?

Re: Got Sample Bouquet, need opinions...Pics and Poll

pretty bo- k but like the majority said I would drop the red beads and either leave them plain or add pearls. I would also use a little less green to stay away from the xmas-y feel
