If it were me and I wanted to use those 3 flowers, I would put the orchids in the vase nd put the hydrangea in a ring around the bottom.

The way it is, it looks a bit busy. JMHO

Re: SAMPLE CENTERPIECE ( PLS GIVE ME YOUR OPINION

maybe try using less calla lillies..

the hydragnas(sp??) dont really go IMO with the look and the blue beads in the vase either..

if you want color in the vase have her put the colored orchid in their instead...

the callas are beautiful so they dont need much to compliment them...

I like it-dont love it.

I think the flowers clash with each other, callas are so elegant that IMHO I dont think they should be mixed with too much.

im not a fan but then again the biggest reason i would say to keep looking is that you feel conflicted about it...if you love it, it should hit you like a ton of bricks, not make you question it...lol

i like all the flowers that are in the vase, but i dont like them together, maybe they can put some smaller flowers in the vase so you dont see the stems, or bunch them together with ribbon. are you going to replace the lilies with the orchids? or just add them into the mix

i feel like it's a little disjointed - everything looks separate and it doesn't look like a cohesive bouquet. the lillies are high and the hydrangeas are low - it doesn't mesh. I think the cherry blossoms and lillies would look great.

ok if I may- JMHO...its a little too busy...there's too many conflicting things going on....I think it would be beautiful if you just did the callas and white dendrobian orchids simplify it because the flowers are competing a little....

Yeah, I agree, and you know I am partial to calla's.
I am having the calla lilies with the white dendrobian orchids and they look beautiful I am sorry I don't have a photo, but I will be seeing Carmine soon. Carmine is from Flowers by Emil on 18th avenue in Bensonhurst Brooklyn. He is great He is the one I loved and gave me the best prices

Re: SAMPLE CENTERPIECE ( PLS GIVE ME YOUR OPINION

I have a question? Was this your concept or was this your florist idea? Because if it was the florist, then you have to rethink it Did your florist at least make suggestions of what will work and what wouldn't? For example, my florist had many ideas that really helped me

Re: SAMPLE CENTERPIECE ( PLS GIVE ME YOUR OPINION

i think without the hydrangeas or maybe doing white hydrangeas. Also see if they can hide/cut the stems in clear vase.

Good luck you'll get it just right!!!
