My Centerpiece Sample

Here's my sample centerpiece. I'm using Burton's and I was a little nervous that it might not be full enough, but I'm very happy with it. What do you think? Please be honest since i can still call him to make changes. Thanks!

It is very full! Mine looked almost like that but I had red, pink and white roses! I think it looks great. There are alot of flowers in there and very full!

I think the shape and size is great, but personally, I am thrown off by the bright white baby's breath and the ivory roses. I think you need color or maybe not the baby's breath

It's very pretty but I am not too crazy about all the babysbreath. Can they add a couple of more roses & some more greens?

I think it is very pretty - very full...I'm just not crazy about baby's breath - is there another filler you could use instead?

I agree...the baby's breath is taking away from the arrangement.

Love the arrangement but i dislike babies breath alot.... beautiful roses, white monti or white caspia would be beautiful i used to be a floral designer...

Actually after looking at it more closely..I don't like the baby's breath either. I think it will look full and nicer without it...

more of the orchids and stephanotis, less baby's breath. if you cannot add more stephanotis or orchids, the maybe wax flower as the filler?

I am no fan of baby's breath and maybe it's the way the picture came out but you cannot even see the stephanotis or orchids with all the baby's breath - unless it's a flash glare off the camera?

The concentration of baby's breath in certain spots really takes away from the chicness of the arrangement. I would do away with it all together and just leave the greens.

Definitely eliminate the baby's breath. They seem to take away from the elegance a bit.

I agree- It is very beautiful, but I am not a fan of baby's breath - maybe more stephs or some other kind of filler.

Thanks for the feedback. I actually told him to take out lot to the baby's breath. Maybe I'll call and tell him to eliminate it all together.

The date in my profile is off by a week. I'm getting married this Sunday.

Lulu use Queen Annes Lace instead of the Babys Breath

I know I'm in the minority but I like babys breath. Ask if they could diperse it more, it looks a little too clumped up. I think it is very pretty

Re: My Centerpiece Sample

Thanks again for the input. I actually spoke to Burtons this morning and I requested that they use Queen Ann's Lace rather than the babys breath and also a few other changes.

Shamma, I only wanted white because Ballroom in the Vanderbilt Mansion is very ornate and I think addding lot of color in the room takes away from the elegance.

Here's a pic of the room with only white:

Lulu - they look beautiful. I see what you mean with the room and using the white. It looks great.
