    I know I've posted this a few times in other posts but here it is again.. I love this bouquet and was thinking of DIYing it but I'm starting to rethink it but not sure why. I think the colors are what's doing it to me. My BM's dresses are turquoise, our colors are black, white and turquoise and we have a glam feather theme going on. I think this bouquet is more modern than glam tho, maybe that's my issue. What would you guys do for a bouquet? I found an anemone one I like and a ranunculus one too but the ranunculus one doesn't match our colors. Does that matter? I kind of see it as I'm only going to need bouquets for an hour or two so why should they have to match? Will anyone really care (besides me)?

    I love the first one...can't go wrong with feathers, orchids, and caila's (although, I do love peonies and anemones too)!

    Maybe you could mix the aspects you like from both bouquets.  You could have the anemones and ranunculus with some flowers.

    I originally ordered my bouquet from a florist and the more and more I thought about spending $150 bucks on some stinking flowers I decided to DIY!!

    My bouquet didn't necessarily turn out the way that I had planned, but in the end, it really didn't matter! I had flowers to walk down the aisle and they turned out pretty in the pictures!

    They are both very pretty. One thing to consider is that those orchids probably come with multiple flowers on one stem, so they might need to be trimmed and individually wired to look like bouquet #1. That might make for a lot of prep time. I really don't know for sure, but it would be worth looking in to. That being said, I love love the feather!
