Unique & Modern Flower Arrangement- What do you think?

Hi, I found some unique flower arrangements by using rose, calla lily and feathers. Since my wedding dress has feathers in it and I would like to carry the theme throughout the event. What do you think?

i'll be honest.... i dont' like them at all!!

i would skip the feathers and just go with the callas on their own.

I love unique and different. I think if you're going to incorporate feathers that they look better with the roses.

pic 1 is ok but I like the look of cala's alone, or with curly willows and dendrobiums :)

I love the feathers. I love anything unique. Would you have other things with the feathers? I think that would be a really cool thing to carry throughout the reception. People would remember it & notice it because it’s different, otherwise it would just be a flower arrangement.

I agree. I like the feathers with the callas. I think with the roses it looks too..... poufy?

I've seen some brides (in British bridal mags) with feathers in their hair and incorporated into their BoK - I think it looks gorgeous!

I love the feathers. It's different. I never saw a wedding with them.

I would go for it but try to incorporate the feather somewhere else maybe to have a common thread/theme.

Honestly, not a huge fan of the feathers. But, if you are going with the feathers, I think they look better with the long flowers, like the callas

I'm in the minority but I hate calla lilies. Hate 'em! I like the tall ones with the roses. They're fun and different. If you want a different look for your reception, it's definitely a way to do it!

I've also seen feathers worn in the hair, and I love the look. Joy of the 'Oh Joy' blog wore a very pretty one, from this maker:

One of those feather hairpins was worn by a bride in a recent Martha Stewart Weddings, there's a link on the page. They're very pretty, very unique.

Re: Modern Flower Arrangement- What do you think?

I'm not crazy about the feathers. JMO though. I like the idea of the roses and calla lilies though.

Re: Modern Flower Arrangement- What do you think?

I LOVE them because they are soo different...if I had more money to spend on flowers I so would have done a different look at my wedding- I prefer to be different rather than cookie cutter...go for it

Thank you for everyone's input. I will makeup my mind once I meet up with couple more florists. Thanks!

Re: Unique & Modern Flower Arrangement- What do you think?

to be honest, I don't like the ones posted at all, b/c it's just too much.

I would recm'd having the calla's w/the feathers evenly throughout, or just the feathers, or just the calla's.

feathers

I used feathers only as the centerpieces for my wedding and people loved it. They are still talking about it 2 years later :) I am helping a friend to plan her wedding now and was pushing feathers too, but she is into flowers.

They looked something like this, but not as many.
