what do you girls think?

Jenny Yoo has these really cute flower accessories that you can wear around your neck or arm or where ever........ do you think it would look awful or really cool if i had my bridesmaid wear an ivory one around their neck (their bouquets will be ivory).... i was just trying to think of something different but it might just look horrible and they'd hate me for it!

Here is a pick of the flower and my BM dress is underneath it... my dress will be in navy...

I think the idea is nice but it might look distracting in pictures if you have a line of 3-5 girls with big flowers around their necks. If it's your entire bridal party it might look odd. I am not sure.

True... i may just stick with good ol' pearls

Re: what do you girls think?

Could you put the flower in their hair instead of around their necks?

Re: what do you girls think?

I think it's a really sweet look, especially if the girls are carrying simple bo-Ks. I love little details like that. My girls, however, while I do love them dearly, would think I was on crack if I asked them to wear them.

Re: what do you girls think?

IMO if it were me I wouldn't have them wear it. But that is just me.

The bride should be the center of attention. The flower around the neck may bring just a bit more attention to the bm's.

Also, everyone's tastes are different. Some girls may like it, others may not. To be on the safe side, I would say go without it.

I agree that it may be distracting in pictures. I'm in love with you BMs dresses though!!! I wish I had gound those before I picked mine.

There are some times when you need to be subtle and other times when you need to be blunt... for this issue, im going to be blunt with ya... if i ever saw a bm with a flower like that around her neck, i'd prob think it was hideous and wondering wth the bride was thinkin asking her girls to do that.... and as your BM, i'd prob hold that against you for life... lol .... its note cute, its not 'unique', its just OMG... what was she possibly thinking

Re: what do you girls think?

Re: what do you girls think?

I think it's a nice idea to go for something different to make your wedding special... but I'm personally not a fan of that particular look.

Re: what do you girls think?

I think it will be very distracting... clash..... and not everyone will be able to pull off a look like this. Also someone else said all eyes should be on you... and this will have everyone looking at the bridesmaids trying to figure out this 'new' look..

Re: what do you girls think?

not eveyone can pull that off. on some it might look really great, and on some horribly wrong. maybe you can give them the option and maybe some will wear it and some wont.

Re: what do you girls think?

I personally think it looks very cool and different...

I just don't know that all of your girls would like it.

I was just thinking of my own BP...4 girls - 2 would love it, 2 would hate it.

So I probably wouldn't go for it - but if your girls are game for it - do it!

Re: what do you girls think?

i think it looks really cute on the model, and they kkow how to take the picture to make it look good...

however, imo, i dont think it would look good on the bridesmaids, unless they are absolutely gorgeous and can pull of any type of look

Re: what do you girls think?

cool for the runway - not realistic for real life. I think a very select few girls can pull it off. (read: superskinnycouturelookingmodels) A+ for creative idea, though!

Re: what do you girls think?

I agree that it may be too much. If you want something different than a typical necklace or what not-- try a broche on the side of their dress like where a sash would go.
