Need opinions...

Currently, this is my bouquet:

But I keep coming back to this one:

Here's my dress & color swatch:

(my dress has copper/rose gold beading, which would pick up the spray roses in the 2nd bouquet.)

So, which bouquet do you think would look best?

I prefer the second one because it's so unique looking. Where did you find it? I'm curious to see other ones.

Re: Need opinions...

I like the roses #1. I think your dress has alot of detail so a simpler bouquet would look better.

Re: Need opinions...

IMO, i think #2 looks better. #1 looks like it overpowers your beautiful dress. But you have to go with what you like the most.

It's from the current Martha Stewart Weddings magazine.

I love roses but there is something very unique and romantic looking about the 2nd one..

#2, #2, #2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the second one, it is different and really beautiful. I love the look of all roses also, but they are everywhere, #2 is breathtaking! It would look beautiful with your dress! I am going to print out this picture for my own file!

PS Have you found that tiara you posted? I meant to tell you that I saw it at my dress store, The Wedding Salon of Manhasset.

Hmmmm. Both are very beautiful. The 2nd one is so different - that's why I like it! The only things I would do is wrap the stems on the bottom and add more ivory/rose flowers and less of the green.
BUT your dress is so glamorous and I am thinking that since you have the beautiful lace work on the dress, the simpler bouquet #1 would be better - it won't compete with the dress.

Re: Need opinions...

EvenEdan, at the Wedding Salon eh!?! Guess where I'll be heading this weekend! Thanks!!!!!
Out of curiousity, do you happen to know how much they were asking for it?

Re: Need opinions...

For the girls who are interested in the 2nd bouquet, that has Mint and Geranium leaves in it for the greenery!

Re: Need opinions...

ALOT!! I want to say in the six hundred range, but don't quote me on that! I really don't remember for sure! They are negotiable though. Good luck.

Re: Need opinions...

EvenEdan,
I kinda' figured that. I can't recall what Bridal Couture was asking for it, but I know most of their tiaras were around $500. I'm not getting a veil, so I figured I would 'make up for it' with the tiara. j/k As long as they're negotiable!

Re: Need opinions...

both beautiful. But I agree w/ Merf99. maybe the first one will compliment your dress better.

Re: Need opinions...

I am very partial to roses but, after seeing your dress I would go with #2, your dress is very beautiful and the second bouquet seems to enhance the uniqueness of it.
