Sharing My Secrets: the Bouquets

Sharing My Secrets: the Bouquets

I loved my flowers. Loved, loved, loved my flowers. Viviana at Petal Play Design was definitely able to compensate for peonies being out of season. I am so glad that Dean captured so many gorgeous photos of them. Get ready for lots of photos of my bouquet. Some butthead took it home with them and broke my heart. I can only relieve this pain by staring at these photos.

Flowers die, so I shouldn’t be that sad about losing my bouquet. What I am very sad about is losing the little charm and the rosary that were wrapped around it. My Grampy made me the rosary just for that day. The charm (made by Romero Designs- I highly recommend them!) was of my Great Gram Kirby, my Grammy, my mom and me. My Great Gram Kirby and Grammy passed away shortly after this photo was taken. I loved having it attached to me most of the day. They are both now lying in someone’s trash. I’ve spent way too much time crying about that, so back to happier photos!

Seeing my bouquet for the first time while I get un-bustled.

My back-up singers and their bouquets. Think it oh-oh-ver…

The junior bridesmaid bouquet.

Mr. Peacock’s boutonniere.

My brothers and their bouts.

Everyone together now!

More flowers next time!

Man, why do wedding attendees think that its ok to make a grab for bouquets? I had a gorgeous bridesmaid bouquet (that had a gift from the bride attached) swiped from my spot at the head table a few months ago!

Mrs. Peacock, sorry about your bouquet, but your pictures are amazing!

If it was a guest, can you just spread the word that you want the charm back? I mean who wants a picture of you with your Grammy? Why keep that?

i don’t understand why people think it’s okay to walk away with things that’s not theirs! and obviously, if the bride didn’t use it to toss [provided there was a bouquet toss] then she wants it! i do hope that someday your rosary and charm makes it way back to you.

I also had a BM bouquet stolen once w/ an antique hanky attached…I was freaking out, but luckily my cousin (who loaned it to me) said it wasn’t an heirloom or anything.

Seriously who does that?

Granted your flowers are truly lovely and so I can understand something WANTING to take them and have their loveliness all to themselves but actually taking the bride’s flowers?

Craziness.

I’m glad you have so many beautiful pictures of your bouquet
I’m so sorry some butthead (great name for that person, by the way) stole it. Some people have not manners or brains.

Your flowers are beautiful!

And I can’t believe somone was so rude as to take your bouquet, especially since it had jewelry attached. PErhaps you can pass it around that you would like to have the jewellry returned annonymously and maybe let the venue know. This way someone can send it to you and doesn’t have to put thier shame out into the open. The person prbably thought they were just flowers and didn’t realize that there was jewelr attached until they got it home.

Oh Peacock! Sorry to hear about the rosary- that really is a bummer!

But as per the usual — your flowers were stunning! And I love the photo on the stairs!

The bouquet is just luscious — it’s exactly the vintagey, slightly wild look I’m going for. I cannot believe that someone swiped your bouquet. Is there any way to get word out to your guests, just to see if anyone saw who took it?

Oh SO Pretty! Could you tell us what flowers were in your bouquet and in the bridesmaid’s bouquets?

Sorry to hear someone was a jerk and took your flowers, it’s bad enough people try to make off with the centerpieces but seriously the bridal bouquet? That’s just wrong!
