Hi pokergirl!! I love this idea. We're from Mississippi and this is a dream for most Mississippi brides. However, do you know that once you touch a blossom the petals turn brown? its horrible :( Let me know if you find a way to make it work!
magnolias bruise EXTREMELY easily... like if you look at it funny, they'll turn brown lol.
it's a shame though since they're so lovely - have you considered looking for real touch ones?
That inspiration bouquet is actually Gardenias, which also bruise very easily, but are a different plant from Magnolias.
@elliestan: lol, the only magnolia I'm uber familiar with is the tree!!!!
I second getting the real touch or velvet/soft-touch flowers. From what little I know (and I know VERY little) they aren't the stoutest/toughest of plants....
@pokergirl84: Those are actually Gardenias - Magnolia is a flowering tree. In SF the flower stands have gardenia boutonnieres for $1 and I would get one each time I passed by one. You will have to be very very very very careful with gardenias, they tend to bruise and wilt with the slightest touch.

Im posting my inspiration bouquet! Were doing a peacock/mardi gras wedding and our venue is called the new orleans room. Even though we live in the north, New Orleans is my inspiration for our wedding. I go to Mardi Gras every year (had a great time last week btw!) and I thought it was only fitting that my bouquet is made of Magnolias-the state flower of Louisiana. Will also be incorporating peacock feathers in it.
