We are going to meet w/ our florist again soon b/c I just want the CPs to look a *little* different.
I want something simple, yet very springy and lush looking.
Here are some pics I have of our sample..basically I want him to have less lilacs (the little purple flowers) and less greenery, but still keep a tiny bit of both. He would add in some more big, lush flowers in their place. In the pics some of the flowers had not bloomed yet..I think they were roses...once they bloomed it was less green looking.
Please let me know what you think and if you have any other suggestions.

this JMO, but have you thought about using a round 'bubble' vase instead? I think if you're going for a spring look, you need to have more pastels in there. definitely needs more color. and it will look so beautiful in pics afterwards!

I would try some more hydrangeas or peonies. You can get some pink/purple hydrangeas and I think that would fill it out a lot. I really like it though, it's beautiful

Re: Ladies, I need your help with my CPs!
yea, that's what I was thinking of asking for...have the additional flowers be colorful ones..but I still like keeping the amount of white there currently is...is that what you guys meant?
Yes, I love peonies!!..what do hydrangeas look like?
hmm...I didn't care initally what shape the vase was but I'm thinking I will ask to see it in a bubble vase..thanks!
thanks! do you think that's what is in there already (some of the hwite flowers)? It's hard to see, but in the first pic you can see it sort of on the right bottom corner...
or I could of course just ask my florist!

Yes, you have some hydragea in there already (the big white flowers). I suggested using more of it to give the arrangement a fuller look and you can use the colorful ones.

I actually prefer the square vase-it's a more up to date look imo.

I think if you added blue/purple and pink hydrangea, it would totally change the cp. the white it just TOO white to me, if you know what I mean..

Re: I need your help with my CPs!
I agree there could be a little less white. Don't get me wrong though, I love the centerpiece! But if you want more color, he could add some pink lisianthus instead of white lisianthus. The white lisianthus is what you said later bloomed and then looked less green.
Would you want to add a whole other color at all? I think a soft orange colored rose might look very pretty. Or green hydrangea instead of white?

I like Hydrangeas but they may be too big with all the other flowers. If you are using them, you might want to scale down on the other flowers. Unless you want bigger center pieces. I like the green and ligth blue hydrangeas.
I like the square vase. If using a round. I would use a low one 8-10 inches and wide (from top to bottom).
