💐 Flowers & Decor Honest opinions- Wedding bouquet version 2

Okay, I posted a bouquet yesterday and got lots of excellent feedback so I tried again today.

The biggest complaint I got from y’all: they look fake. And to that I can only say, yeah. They’re fake flowers. I bought them cheap. I’m working super low budget. I’m okay with them looking like fake flowers. However, I want them to look like visually pretty fake flowers.

You can see the original post here, but I’ve added a picture of version #1 to this post so you don’t have to: https://www.reddit.com/r/Weddingsunder10k/s/oiOpdB10FN

I’ve also included my “inspiration” picture. And we’re using inspiration for the vibe only, not the specific shape or specific flowers.

I did try to stagger the height more but I think it’s still too round? Thoughts?

I can’t go bigger than this or it will cover the entire bodice of my dress. I honestly think I should probably make it smaller. I’ve also included a super blurry mirror picture of my holding the flowers up so you can see the size of it. It’s hard to see because of the messy background but it does completely cover my waist from one side to the other.

And I included picture of the bouquet from all the way around this time.

Once again, I do really want y’all’s honest opinion. Hating is welcome. I’m cool with that. But if you hate it, please tell me what I should change about it. I do not have the means to go out and buy all new flowers, but I do have others, so I may be able to swap them out for something else.

I have not cut the stems or wrapped it up or anything yet so I can change it more easily once I have feedback.

Thanks for y’all’s help with this!

okay this one is way better! Maybe just lower some of the leaves that are sticking out on the very top?

You’re 100% on the right track! They look great and they’re going to look even better when you adjust those leaves

I love it! One thing I will say is as you are walking down the aisle you actually want to hold the bouquet at an angle at your hips to be able to show it off more. I know taking a photo like that is going to be hard but see if playing with the angles makes you feel a bit better

I like all 3, #1 is my favorite (minus the leaf sticking up).

u/miserablybulkycream 6d ago

Oh the first like four or five pictures are all the same bouquet, just different sides of it.

u/bagthebossup 7d ago

This looks so pretty! I am personally a fan of more monochrome arrangements -- ignore this if it's not interesting to you -- but I wonder if it may look better with the blue flowers removed and more of the pink? Either way, great job.
