A friend of mine is doing all of our flowers - bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, reception, etc - for free. We are using silks, which I picked out & paid for and she is building everything based on what I tell her I want.
The dilemma I am faced with is that the bridesmaids bouquets, while beautiful, are so much like my bouquet, it's hard to tell the difference. They use a lot of the same flowers and, the way she has made them, all the bouquets are the same size. I had already said something to her once & she said she had changed them, but when I saw them again, they were still very similar to the brides bouquet.
Like I said, the bouquets are beautiful, I'm just not thrilled with them being SO similar. Should I say something & ask her to start over, or should I just accept them as they are?

Re: [mtabride] To say something or not?

Dear Bride,
Typically when someone gives us a gift we should smile and say thank you. But, you have paid for the materials and this is your bouquet. So, perhaps she can just add some flowers to yours or a long ribbon might help. It would make yours a bit different.
To say something or not?
