I found this one online and the description is, indeed, banana leaves.
The leaves are actually variegated aspidistra. Banana leaves are HUGE leaves, and wouldn't work for bouquets. Aspidistra, however, are what are in your top picture. Here are some more pictures of them:
Solid:
Variegated:
Most flower shops should be able to sell them to you. They aren't terribly expensive (we sell them at the shop I work in for $15/bunch, or $1.50/stem). Best of luck!
@LindsayB: Thanks VERY much! I was wondering why the banana leaves were so expensive...but yeah...they ARE huge...LOL
@LindsayB: I was able to contact a florist in Norfolk, VA (where my sister is getting married) who agreed to order the aspidistra for me. I also ordered some grape leaves for the bouts. This is my inspiration photo:
I think I should be able to recreate this relatively easy. Thanks again.

I am trying to find out what these leaves are called on this bouquet
I am doing the flowers for my sister's wedding and I did a trial run of her bouquet and the bouts but I really prefer the leaf?, grass? used in this bouquet. They only had ferns at Wal-Mart but it doesn't have the same statement the above leaves have. So bees...WHAT IS IT??
Some pics of the trial run.....
My daughter is my "Broom" Bride/Groom for the pics =) When I took the bouquet from her to put on the ottoman for the picture she said..."Hey! You said I was the Broom!"...Hee-larious...LOL
