Here are the flower girl baskets I put together this afternoon and just wanted to get some feedback as to whether or not they need something more or something less! I am having a nice garden wedding so I was going for something simple and not to mention EASY! Thank you in advance.

those are so cute, i might have missed it but are butterflies your theme? Serendipity loves butterflies and she has a bunch of pictures of her wedding with them in there. check our her after wedding journal for pics of her wedding (her cake was AWESOME!!!!!!!!)

thinking...are you adding a cloth in the basket and maybe some ribbon that is blue hanging from inside to flow out the sides of the basket to hang down with butterflies on the ends?

Hey FirechickBride great idea! The little girls are actually going to have their own little bouquets that they will set in the baskets as well as white flower petals. But I can always add some more butterflies and a cloth would be super cute. I was also thinking of adding some ribbon type stuff along the edges. :bblol:
Those are super cute!!! Depending on how formal your wedding is, I would just leave it the way it is. Simply elegant!!

So feel like something is missing with these. Should I wrap the bottom of the basket in light blue fabric (its our color) like FFC-Justina did in another post, should I just wrap a thick blue ribbon around the bottom and put the butterflies on top of that???? Are they OK how they are....HELPPPPP!!!! Wedding is in three weeks so need some honest opinions to get me in gear!!!

I think they look fantastic as they are! You might want to incorporate the blue tulle by wrapping it around the handle, or make bows on the part where the handle meets the basic. But seriously, they look fantastic as is!

I agree ... they look awesome :)
Besides .... you wouldn't want to take away the attention from the flower girls would you? They have to be cuter than the accessories LOL

Thank you for the input ladies!!! I guess I am just making myself crazy because I am constantly looking at them.:purplex: Maybe I should retire them to the closet until the time comes....ha ha ha :pompom:

I agree with the other gals. They are lovely! I wouldn't want to have too much more going on with them or they might feel too "busy".

I think they look great. And your flowergirls will look so cute holding them with the butterflies all over them. :happy:
I am the same way... I'll get something done, and a few weeks later I'll want to change it. FH says it's because our engagement was long (only a year, so I don't think so) and it gives me a chance to rethink and redo and replan everything.
I agree with everyone else, I think they look great the way they are. You don't want to over do it.:flower:

I think they look great, simple and not overdone. I think they fit with your theme perfectly.
I'm jealous of how big the basket is though! I ordered mine thru Oriental Trading, and didn't realize how small the basket part was. I'm afraid that my FG will run out of flowers halfway down the aisle. GRRR.
