DIY bridesmaid bouquets...help?

[NowAShelton]

ok so at first i liked them but then im thinking they are a little TOO simple. i tried a bow but then it just looked like a skinny guy with a big head and a bow tie! i really dont want any greenery plus my budget is empty....this is all i could come up with? what do yall think??

I prefer the "without" bouquet. It is simple in a good way. The other one seems like yo are TRYING to make it more than it should be.

[NowAShelton]

yeah maybe im just overthinking it....

Oh maybe make the bow smaller. Or you could wrap the ribbon down the stem to add more color.

[NowAShelton]

well i already have ribbon goin up and down it....

Oh I'm sorry...I see that now!!! Did you try the smaller bow?

[NowAShelton]

well i didnt get a pic of the bow...that one i have up is just pieces of ribbon tied on. before that i did bows but they just didnt look right. if i did it small i could hardly see it under the flowers but when i scooted it down it looked weird in the middle..*sigh*

like this?

[Britters_37]

Don't give up. You will think of something. I like it with the small bow. Another idea is to have ribbon coming down from the the flower heads. Like flowing ribbons. I'm sure you will come up with an idea and it will be beautiful.
