I think I have been most indecisive when it came to picking my wedding flowers. I’m sure my florist hates me for being this way, I must have changed my wedding colors like 3-4 times! First I wanted deep shades of burgundy, dark purple, and champagne. I thought the colors were too dark so I went for lighter shades of lavender, mint green, and gold. I changed our reception color scheme but I kept the dark shades of burgundy in my wedding bouquet. To make communication easier, I found a photo of exactly what I wanted for my bouquet so that my florist would know what flowers to incorporate. Here’s what my bouquet will look like:

I found this bouquet on Beautiful Blooms website. The bouquet is large but I think I can handle walking down the aisle with it. Now the question is do you think I should add a butterfly like the photo above? I might consider buying this one for the bouquet:

I love the crystal design but I don’t know if it will stand out as much as the one in the photo. I could buy an opaque butterfly from the local craft store but I think I would have to decorate its wings with super fine yellow-green glitter. Paper Source sells a collection of butteflies and they have them in all kinds of shades:

So should I add a butterfly to my bouquet or not? Do you think the crystal butterfly goes better with the bouquet or what about the Paper Source butterfly?
