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.

I kind of like the red but then again if you had a picture with white I might say I like the white.
it's beautiful.

That's a sample right? So the real one would be more put together. I say stick with the red beads. I think it's different and when held agains the white dress I don't think will be too much.

The bo-k is really pretty but those red beads draw your attention away from the flowers too much. I agree that pearls or crystals might be a better choice.

I love the red beads just not how she did it. I would say that they either need to be pushed in more or, I had my florist use red crystal so that they lay flat in the stephenodis. I don't have a pic to show you but it looks great. The pins she put in are sticking out to far but I love the idea.

I would stick with the white pearls.

My first thought was that it was very christmasy. Had to check and see your wedding date. It's very pretty but I'm not crazy about it. Feels like it need some more color

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!! beautiful but lose the beads

your gut instinct was right!!

i agree

ditto.... i vote for pearl or crystals

I originally ordered red crystals in mine, but then I pictured it in my head and I am going to go with plain crystals. I think it does stand out too much and it is looking a bit Chritmas like.
