OK, posted too soon. Dress is creamish, taupe, slim fit to the floor.

Flower girls will be holding large pink round twirl lollies.

Or does it all look a bit odd? Confused

Not sure which of the second link's bouquets you were thinking of, but the buttons are fun, and a bit more eye catchingly different.

I think the first one might just fade into the background of your dress. Could the balls be made to match the twirl lollies?

nooka · 28/01/2015 05:48

Looking at the dress I definitely think buttons. Are you very chic smithneejones? What is your fiance going to wear?

smithneejones · 28/01/2015 05:53

Very chic?! In my head I am. My feet say different!

Fiance will wear a black or brown suit. I can make bouquet brighter. The trouble is I can't find a matching button boutonniere. So the seashell cream one is out? That's my least fave anyway.
I like button best but billyball one matches better with groom and flower girls...Confused

I thought that the seashell one was a bit dull. If your fiance wears a black suit and the right sort of shade of pink cummerband/tie/flower/handkerchief I think that would work, no need to be completely matchy matchy :) I think if you are going to go different with your bouquet you might as well go really different!

The button person seems to do quite a few interesting bouquets, would it be worth emailing her and asking if should could make you a button boutonniere too?

Google 'lollipop bouquet' & choose 'images' there are some great bouquets on there.

Are you having fish & chips in paper?

I hope you have a lovely day!

smithneejones · 28/01/2015 06:41

Pie shop for tea!

Also what kind of jacket, shrug, shawl? I was thinking black leather, biker style!

Good idea Nooka about pink or peach flower for groom. No need for totally matching Smile

I suspect that whatever happens you are going to rock your wedding! Biker chic Grin

ChippingInLatteLover · 28/01/2015 07:02

'Pie shop for tea'. Love it!!

What's the guest dress code?

ChippingInLatteLover · 28/01/2015 07:03

Cream cashmere, ultra soft, wrap?

smithneejones · 28/01/2015 07:30

No dress code! Oh dear, I've not even thought of that! Its like a runaway train!

OP posts:
ChippingInLatteLover · 28/01/2015 07:44

No dress code?

Beach, pie shop... Surely means I can wear jeans very casual clothes?

smithneejones · 28/01/2015 08:02

Of course! I thought that too! Blush or as sailors...
Perhaps not. So chippin billy balls or button?

Billy balls. I love that it's a bit quirky. Button bouquets are everywhere.
Me and my mum are madly crocheting flowers for mine and it will have a few flowers in it made by family and friends and dp's late granny.

wobblebobblehat · 28/01/2015 08:11

I don't like any of them and I really don't get those button bouquets.

Fresh flowers every time...

addictedtosugar · 28/01/2015 08:39

When you first said seeside, I thought sea thistles, however I think that wouldn't fit with your style.

Give the flower girl lollies, I think I'd get the pink or pastel from the second link, and get the groom in a colour that matches.

I agree the first link will disappear against your dress.

Third link could work if groom in brown?

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 28/01/2015 08:44

I really like the top one but agree, against the dress and with the BMs lollipops I think it may look plain.

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 28/01/2015 09:27

what about a sweetie one for you?
