Bouquet Question??

[joshswifelucasmom]

I am making beaded roses for my bouquet. I'm going to have 28 all together when i'm done...i figure 4 per BM and 8 for mine (none for flowergirls) I was planning on doing the rest of the bouquet with cream/white carnations because they are cheap and pretty...The roses measure about 2-4 in per rose. I was thinking that the roses wouldn't be enough and that maybe i should add something else that will help make them pop...something that is black(our colors are blue, black and cream) maybe like black lilies or pansies, like 2-4 per bm and 6-8 per mine ( i also saw black wooden flowers i think they haveroses,which i don't want but they have like 2 other ones as well if you think that would work) ...that way it gives it something extra.


Do you think that is too much and i should just do the roses or do you think the black flowers would add to it

Maybe you can try the roses first and then see if it looks like something is missing.

Someone on here did a beaded bouquet mixed with feathers to give it a bit of softness and that went well together.

I used Black Feathers, Black Beads and Black Ribbon curled on wire to break up the Roses in my Bouquet.
