About Mrs. Bee

Please Help Us Decide!

July 1st, 2007 @ 12:58 am by Mrs. Bee

You guys had so many great suggestions for our next batch of flower characters, it was too difficult for us to narrow them down!  We’re definitely gonna have a peony (there’ll be an all out war for that one), but we need to choose nine more.  So please tell us which 9 out of the 17 flowers below we should choose. :)

Please keep in mind that we’re looking for the following variables: 1) a variety of color, 2) flowers that don’t look similar to one another, and 3) flowers that you think will be popular as characters. 

Here are the choices:

Peony & Cherry Blossom

Buttercup & Daffodil

Jasmine & Gardenia

Lily of the Valley & Hydrangea (also in pink, purple, and blue)

(via henribonell & reiusu)

Magnolia (also in white) & Snapdragon (also in yellow, orange, red, purple)

Dahlia & Zinnia* (both in pink, orange, yellow, red, white)

Lilac (also in pink) & Hyacinth**

Please Help Us Decide! :  wedding announcements behind the scenes S965656 lilac2Please Help Us Decide! :  wedding announcements behind the scenes S96565601 hyacinth
(via sarahface & limowreck666)

Tulip (every color of the rainbow) & Calla Lily (also in white, yellow)

Please Help Us Decide! :  wedding announcements behind the scenes S965684 tuliporangePlease Help Us Decide! :  wedding announcements behind the scenes S965683 calla
(via duvyna & Isabella P)

Sweet Pea*** & Petunia (also in pink)

Please Help Us Decide! :  wedding announcements behind the scenes S96568301 sweetpeatPlease Help Us Decide! :  wedding announcements behind the scenes S96568302 Petunia_Purple
(via becca3k & ilovemycamera

Some things to consider: 

* the dahlia & zinnia may look too much alike
** lilac & hyacinth are virtually identical so grape hyacinth is pictured
*** the sweet pea looks similar to Miss Orchid’s character
*** sweet pea is similar to Miss Snow Pea, buttercup is similar to Miss Butterscotch, and lily of the valley/calla lily is similar to Miss Lily.  They’d all be married by the time we launched the flowers, but let us know if you think it’d cause any confusion. 

With that in mind… please tell us your 9 picks (peony is #10)! :)

Tulip, Dahlia, Peony, Magnolia, Hydrangea, Sweet Pea, Daffodil, Cherry Blossom, Snapdragon

You already have a miss lily, I think, and doing any version of that (lily of valley, calla) might be a little much?

Miss Magnolia is a must, thanks to “Steel Magnolias”…
…and wouldn’t Miss Bluebonnet be sweet for a Texas bride?

1) lilac (purple- cluster shape) [that's what i would want to be, so maybe you should save it for later and not pick it now, haha]
2) peony (pink-big, round shape)
3) cherry blossom (pink- maybe a branch w a few blooms) [that would be a popular flower]
4) dahlia (orange- round shape)
5) tulip (red- cup shape) [but could be any color to fill in]
6) jasmine (white- star shape)
7) daffodil (yellow- star shape)
8) magnolia (white- large, rounded petals) [makes me think of a southern bee]
9) snapdragon (red- cluster shape)

*the lilies might get confused, tho the shapes are very different from each other. and sweet pea is similar to miss snow pea.

*and maybe a set of birds in the future. that would provide lots of color options as well. :)

Include at least:
dahlia
zinnia (if you use a less petal-y zinnia it won’t look as similar to the dahlia because they have teeny florets in the center: http://tinyurl.com/2pbt9u or http://tinyurl.com/36rmfy)
tulip
snapdragon
daffodil
hydrangea
cherry blossom

hard call on all the lilies…
