I have a certain fear.
All of the flowers at the ceremony and reception are going to be roses and peonies. So while for the most part that means a ton of fluffy goodness, it can also be concerning. For evidence, see above.
My beef with rose bouts is this: they remind me of high school dances, where every single date of mine had the same tight rosebud bout. I also don’t love how far it sits away from the lapel. I’d like to avoid this.
Those aren’t roses, they’re dahlias, but they sure are awesome. Note how the flowers lay flat across the lapel and while they’re large, they’re a quirky large, not “I’m a giant bud” large.
Another convincing argument:
So I think at this point, a rose is not the ideal flower bout for us. But peonies are a little delicate and I assume they would not hold up as a bout either. Do you have any last minute suggestions for a flower available in June that’d be flat and big and lovely?
