My post-wedding DIY

Ok so I attempted my own DIY shadowbox frame as inspired by the beachy one created by HamptonsBride. It was a ROYAL PAIN IN THE BUTT! OMG!! LOL. I would suggest any bride who wants to do this to use small sturdy items with no give like the seashells and sand in hers. I tried moss and the silk dasies I used for the girl's weddung day barrettes and though I think it looks pretty good, it was WAY too much work to make everything lay approximately the way I envisisoned it. Moss/grass wouldn't lay flat, the flower petals wouldn't curve or move the way I wanted them because once the back was on, it got squished.....

OYE!!!!!!
Its not perfect but after 1 1/2 hours of fighting with diff colored mats, ornery flowers and stubborn faux grass moss, I accept dh's addage that 'nothing is ever perfect.' He thinks it looks good so here it is.

UPDATE:
FYI because someone FMed me about it, yes I did Photoshop the picture so only my bo-k, dh's bout and our shoes are colored. I thought it helped the flowers to pop more, like the flowers jumped off my bo-k.
