after seeing the beautiful pics of everyones bok here is mine. It is hand made with silk flowers. wondering if i should change? it is the traditional round and fluffy. Honest opinions please.
Honestly, that's really not my taste, but if you like it then go for it. It is really different from anything I've seen.

Re: Here is my BOK should i change?
Yes the same here I going to be honest it is not really my taste either. But if you love it, that is all that matters.

In my opinion, its too long -- I've seen some pretty BOKs that had a cascading effect to them, but they were sort of round at the top ....
Its very different and unique though.

I think the colors are beautiful! I prefer more traditional but I think the flowers are lifelike and beautiful!

It's very busy I would go with something more simple... you don't want all attention on your flowers

I agree with the other girls that you don't want to draw the attention away from you. Softer colors and not so long maybe. Are you having a florist?

I have to agree with the rest of the ladies----it's a little too busy for me----too many colors and too much stuff hanging from it.

Yeah I'm going to have to agree with this one.
I know you are probably feeling like 'ugh, what do I do now?!' at this point- but just take a step back for a sec... Go to Borders or another book store like that and check out some wedding books or mags with flowers in them.
They actually have books that are all of just wedding bo-ks and flowers.
Take a look, see everything there is out there and just go with your gut and what your heart tells you is beautiful-- and try to remember that 'simplistic is elegant' and 'less is sometimes MORE'... That might help steer you in the right direction of a bo-k that you will really love and especially one that will be TIMELESS so when you look back on your pics you won't feel as though it is 'dated'.
HTH!!!! Good luck and update us!!!

i agree with the rest of the girls....it is too big and busy....i think the ones u are using for the bm is very good in size...maybe u can get one that size..or even opt for getting a simple bok that will let everyone focus on u ...if ur having doubts i would def get other options....gl

Re: Here is my BOK should i change?
i gotta be honest, when i look at that pic, and see the bo-k, my first reaction, is 'Whoa! Waay too much!'
i think you might have gotten carried away with all the colors and maybe were excited when you made the bo-k. i almost feel like some of those colors are clashing against each other, and u just have way too much going on. (like the pearl string accent, on top is taking away from it too.)
BUT if YOU love it, then go for it. but if you are honestly not liking it right now, then i sincerely think you should change it. like MrsDaniRella said, check out some wedding books....or even buy a few silk flowers and see if Michaels or AC Moore will arrange it for you differently. (They do free arranging with any slik purchase.)

Not a fan at all. Really busy, and the pearls seem outta place. I think like someone said simple is more. Thats what I did, not to say you have to go that route. Research. You'll find something les busy. Unless this color scheme is what you were looking for, maybe you can tone it down a bit. Good Luck.

ditto, it does have a lot going on. Lots of colors, really long. JMO, you asked for them. I think it should be more simple-so that is doesn't take away from you. I fear everyone will be looking at it, and not you. Again, JMO,

I have to say it's not something I'd would pick either..........
If the cascading effect is what you like, then keep what you have and maybe keep the flowers all the same color.....or just a couple colors that compliment each other. Also, I just don't know if the pearl strings are a good fit.....I almost think they are taking away from the look.
Just play around with it more. BUT in the end, if you like how it looks right now, then keep it. It's your bouquet.....you know what you like

Re: Here is my BOK should i change?
i think there's way too much going on there colorwise, flowerwise and pearlwise.
is there a reason you aren't doing fresh flowers? i see you're using flower michelle--i assume that's for CPs. why don't you have them do bo-ks that are similar to the fake flowers, but not as busy?
