What do you think of this CP?




It's probably about 4-5 callas in the middle, with tulips all around..since I can't see the middle, I don't know how those tulips are sitting there (but 5 seperate cutie vases would be nice I think).

Also, I am going to ask a florist - but I want YOUR opinion on what it should COST...your honest, LIWedding gal opinion.... thanks,


Leese

Re: What do you think of this CP?

I think its ok. I think the calla lillies should maybe be a little shorter or the tulips a little higher? just to make it look a little fuller

cost wise, no idea

Re: What do you think of this CP?

No idea on the cost.

But I agree with the above post that it could look a little fuller.

Re: What do you think of this CP?

My opinion on it at first was that there aren't enough callas....

I think you are right about the tulips needing to be taller.

Now that I look at it, it seems that maybe they have it all in a floral sponge or something...

Keep 'em coming....I'm having SERIOUS flower issues!

Re: What do you think of this CP?

ok, Tulips should definately be taller & maybe the calla's shorter...I know you want to keep the cost down on flowers, Calla's are expensive flowers but not unbearable...Are they situated in any type of vase???

Oh yeah, I should say that I would probably do the callas with white tulips... it looks like they may be wired and held there.

I'm thinking of white tulips on top, with a replica arrangement of my bridesmaids' boquets (purple, gold and white tulips) on the bottom.

I almost think that you could do a tall vase inside a low and wide circular vase that has all the rest of the tulips in there too.

Re: What do you think of this CP?

I think it could def be fuller...imo I'm not that crazy about it...maybe if you made some adjustments to it ...like making either the Calla's shorter or the tulips taller and adding more flowers be it tulips or callas then I would prefer it a lot more...right now it doesn't jump out to me...I don't know what cost on something like that would be...but Callas are expensive flowers...something to keep in mind

Re: What do you think of this CP?

To be honest -- I don't really like the callas. Just having the tulips would be alot, prettier, IMO

Re: What do you think of this CP?

Either just tulips or just callas...I don't think the flowers go together...IMO tulips are kind of casual...what about roses??

actually, i like roses, but i have been to too many weddings with roses and want something different!

i'm carrying purple callas and the girls will be carrying tulips...

i was thinking of an arrangement like this but with all tulips...

Re: What do you think of this CP?

I think tulips would be pretty...could you mix Callas in the tulips and not do the high ones??

yeah.

im in love with those super high CP with the white tulips or callas.... but they are expensive.

trying to think of something a little bit high, but a little less pricey.

if i do all low, i'm going to do a mix of purple/white/gold tulips.

thanks for the advice girls....!!!!

Re: What do you think of this CP?

I hate to say not-so-positive things about what people like but...I think the idea is nice but it looks a little empty on the top full on the bottom. I've also heard callas are expensive, but when I look at the centerpiece I don't think that it looks like it should cost a lot you know...Maybe mix in the callas and tupils in a high piece with other flowers so you can have the flowers you want with some more fullness. I have seen colored callas...that oculd be another option!

I think the same thing. There's too much of a difference in height.

Re: What do you think of this CP?

I'm with the girls, the center calla needs to a bit shorter, or not there at all.

Re: What do you think of this CP?

you know what it is- I've never really seen this kind of cp before. It's pretty and I love calla's (using them 2) and tulips will definitely be good for our time of year. It's a very Original kind of piece. If you want that effect than go for it!
