I went to see my sample centerpiece at Flower Michele today and I loved it. He is such a DOLL!!!!! Please give me your honest feedback. Pics 1-6 are mine abd 7-9 are my cousins'. They are having a sweet sixteen and he is doing their flowers as well. I thought you'd like to see them if you were having a lavender theme.

THIS MIGHT SOUND LIKE A DUMB QUESTION BUT ARE THE STANDS RENTED FROM THE FLORIST OR ARE THEY YOURS TO KEEP?

They are both beautiful! I love your color combination.

Re: PICTURES of my Centerpiece

They are both very very pretty. (I like the fullness of the low c-piece,,could you maybe get a few filler flowers in the high one? I feel like the roses are just stuck in and there areas of to much space?)
I love the stand and colors.These are jenn's I think the little flowers complete it

Thanks ladies!!!!!!

The stands are not your's to keep. they are rented.

Jenny, I have a filler. It's the hypercumberries. Are you suggesting flowers?

Re: PICTURES of my Centerpiece

yes, I love the arrangement, I just like how Jenn's had tiny little purple. That's just me...I like a little more color, along with the pretty roses that are there.

K, I LOVE it!!! Beautiful! I especially love your stand (of course I am biased as I have the same one) My vote would be to leave the c-piece as is, I think your filler balances it out perfectly- too many more flowers will make it too busy IMO. Its perfect as it is

I think I am doing a similar flower in my centerpiece, we are using a rose that is cream with a red tip (I have no idea what its called, I am flower stupid ). I hope my sample looks as good as yours! So did you get to take it home?

Karina I don't think the CP needs anything else. When I saw it, it was really breathe taking!

Re: PICTURES of my Centerpiece

They are gorgeous! I used those stands too, they really make the table glow.

I kind of agree with Jenny2penny. Maybe a bit more filler to make the arrangement a bit larger. I think the higher the centerpiece, the bigger the arrangement should be so it makes an impact...but it is GORGEOUS as is also and already makes an impact with the color! Oh I'm confused.

Edited to add...maybe not filler so much as bringing it out a bit more....maybe it's the length of the stems that makes it seem smaller? Hmmm.

Re: PICTURES of my Centerpiece

Curly they are so gorgeous! I love it just the way it is. Remember that in a picture some things look darker and I don't think that in person it will look like it needs fillers. I am using the leondis rose and berries for my GM bouts and the berries are in my Centerpiece that John made me. You must be thrilled! What will your bouquet look like?

Re: PICTURES of my Centerpiece

Thanks ladies!!!!!

Misty- I understand what you mean. But, I liked the sleek, clean, crisp look of it. If I extend the stems I don't think it will look as 'together'. But I will take it into consideration.

Thanks again for all the feedback
