bouquets

I have to admit, when I first saw my bouquet, I felt a pang of disappointment. It was my fault. I'd spent so long staring at the inspiration pictures below and creating my perfect bouquet in my mind, that the real thing was destined to never live up.

In fact, I think I was mentally planning for this exact bouquet. With the colors tweaked just a bit.

I felt bad for feeling bad. I told myself to just forget about it. Someone handed me a glass of champagne and I looked at my smiling groom and of course I forgot about it.

And then I saw the photos. And realized I was cuhrazy. My bouquet was one hot piece of work:

a chic, naturally gathered bouquet full of texture, including peonies, dahlias & garden roses in muted ivory, dusty pink & champagne tones with accents of freesia, berzillia baubles
& delicate greenery

As were the girls':

sweet nosegays of yellow football mums and white pompon dahlias are accented with fairy grass, berzillia baubles and dusty miller

Your bouquet was GORGEOUS!! love it!

Its funny cause I actually felt the same way about mine! I was a tad disappointed when I first saw it...but then the more I looked at it and carried it around... I loved it! I never wanted to put it down! Weird how that works.
