Going into this wedding, I didn’t care so much about certain aspects of the planning. For instance, I didn’t care about flowers. I recall saying, “whatever, anything will do.”
Famous last words.
I gained a whole new respect for flowers after I went to a workshop offered by Huckleberry Karen back in November (Miss Penguin was there, too!). Before I went, I was under the delusion that I might be able to DIY my flowers. HA! I don’t think so. I had a VERY hard time putting together my bouquet:
It wasn’t nearly as pretty as some of the other participants‘, and it’s not nearly as complicated as the bouquet I really wanted for my wedding. This bouquet is the inspiration for my entire color scheme, and I am madly in love with it (from the knot real wedding of Heather and Ryan in Los Gatos):

Good times, good times. And OH MY GORSH those flowers would look amazing with your multicolored BM dresses! Great find! Who did you end up going with for flowers?
Wow! That tropical bouquet is sooo beautiful! I’m not really into flowers myself. We’re not having a wedding party so it will be all about my bouquet and the centerpieces at the reception….that’s it! Still don’t know what mine will look like, but I love anything orchid! Callas are gorgeous too.
Gaw-geous. I lub them flowers. the colors are SUPERB!
that’s what i want to do for my flowers! the bms carry a white bouquet and i carry a colorful one. i got the idea from my best friend who ended up not using it at her wedding. great minds abound
I totally know what you mean about being “eh” about flowers in the beginning, and then being completely transformed as you start planning!
Great bouquet! Love splashes of big, bold colors wherever I can find them!!
Can’t wait to read about your centerpieces!
I’m totally with you, Miss Cream Puff — didn’t think I cared about flowers before, but now it’s become yet another thing that I’m obsessed with making “perfect” at the wedding…. I think I need to lower my standards, but it’s hard for working artists like you and me to ever settle for anything that isn’t visually stunning! If only I had a money tree to accommodate my snobby taste 
PS, that bouquet is to die for…. I love your colorful palette!
I like both the bouquets you’re holding!
I’ve never seen anyone do a multi-color bouquet like you have in mind, but I really think it’ll work AND be unique!
I’m sure you’ve already discovered this with your floral designer, but you should be aware that the dahlias in this photo have been retouched to that stunning violet color. *Don’t you love it when they do that?* Just so folks are aware, though..Happy planning!

About Me: I never dreamed about my wedding as a little girl because I was too busy playing in the mud or pretending to be Martha Stewart–but now that it's here, I'm having a fabulous time DIYing everything in sight! We’re planning a very fun multicultural wedding (I'm Jewish and Mr. Cream Puff is Chinese), filled with as many personal details as I can muster.
