    Hello Bees! I need some help...

    It was always my intention to buy some artifical flowers and try to put together my own bouquet. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but that's just not going to happen. I've found two bouquets that I like on Esty and I would like some input.

    Here are a few details about my wedding...

    I'm a peacock bride and I've used mostly teal to compliment it along with a little bit of dark eggplant purple. My dress is ivory, my shoes are teal and my matron of honor's dress (she is my only attendant) is eggplant. Plus, we will each be wearing a peacock feather in our hair.

    The first bouquet from SouthernGirlWeddings shop which can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/SouthernGirlWeddings?ref=seller_info

    The second bouquet is from ekaminsk's shop which can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ekaminsk?ref=seller_info

    I really like them both. Although, the second one seems like the safer choice as there is no other red anywhere in the wedding, but I find the teal/red combination quite stunning. So, while the first one really stands out, the second one actually has the feathers in it. AAAHHH!! I don't know!

    I'd say keep looking. The second one's nice, but the feathers sticking out on top is just too weird for me.

    What about a compromise...stick one single feather in the first bouquet? 

    I like the simplicity of the white one but all the feathers spread across the back seem like they might be a little distracting...maybe just take off a few feathers if you are leaning towards that one.

    Love your peacock theme!

    you could add a red flower to the bouquet with the peacock feathers, or red ribbon...
