Oops… I Did It Again!

Oops… I Did It Again!

No, I didn’t play with your heart, but I did change my mind about my hairpiece. I know, this is my 4th change, but this time it’s going to stick — I already paid for and have received the goods.

Actually, I order more than the goods. I bought hairpieces for my MOH (grey with yellow) and flower girl:

A boutonniere for the groom that matches my hair flower:

Boutonnieres for the Best Man, ushers, and ring boy:

And matching boutonnieres/corsages for the moms and dads:

Since there are so few people in the wedding party, I wanted something that would set us apart as a group. I went back and forth about real versus fake flowers for the boutonnieres. I was afraid the fake flowers would look too fake, but they came out just beautifully. I was inspired by Mrs. Avocado’s boutonnieres. Hers were gorgeous. I got my lovely numbers from JMGJewelDesign. Jessica was amazing and so patient with me. She even threw in a pair of pearl earrings as a gift. I love how everything turned out!

Are you using non-real flowers in your wedding? If so, why did you decide against the real thing?

Ooohhh…those are so pretty. I love how the styles all tie together but yet are all unique.
Was the price comparable as to what real flowers would’ve been?

Beautiful! I like that they are each a little different, but at the same time have simliar elements.

I’d be interested in pricing as well if you would share =)

Wow, they are absolutely gorgeous!

I actually chose to go with non-real flowers for my wedding for two reasons:
1. I am just not a flower person
2. budget reasons.

My silk florist will be creating my bouquet, a toss bouquet, MOH bouquet, loose petals, 3 corsages and 6 boutonnieres for only $150. This works out really well for us.

Great choices! I just ordered the same hairpiece from Jessica a few days ago and am waiting to receive it : )

Ooo - I thought I’d decided on real flowers until I saw this post! We want gerber daisies and at Michael’s over the weekend a fake stem was $1.99 - so we figured heck we could get the real thing for that cost! I’ll have to check out Jessica - as these look gorgeous!

@MightySapphire: They were on WB classifieds (and a featured classified post) because I bought the groom’s boutonniere. It’s sitting on my dining room table! I guess this post was delayed in getting up on WB.

@MightySapphire: If you are still interested, let me know. I am selling them. Slight change in plan.
@Gerbera: I paid $10 for each bout.

I’m still deciding between real and faux. I am definitely planning to make my floral hairpiece, if nothing else, although I am hooked on making felt flowers. They look a little crafty right now but with the might amount of practice, they could be amazing. And, they would be done before hand and last for years!

We’re not using real flowers due to environmental concerns. We know having a wedding is not-so-nice to the environment and we’re trying help at least a little bit!

Those are so pretty. I’m a real flower gal, but now the fake ones… look so real so I understand people who go fake

These are so lovely and adoreable! I think it is so nice to have a something long lasting like these pieces! I used artificial flowers for my bouquet and they looked real and I love that it is on display in my dining room for me to see everyday. I had created a signature scent for the day and I was able to put it on my artificial flowers so when I pass by I can stop and smell my Big Day again so to speak.
