Critique my DIY corsage/boutonniere /bouquet??

So I've never done DIY flowers, but the florists around here are crazy expensive so I thought I'd give it a try. How do these look? These are 'rough drafts' if you will. Also, should the groom/GM boutonnieres be different? What makes a pin-on corsage different from a boutonniere? Just more feminine...

    Thanks for the advice guys! I'll mess around with it and see if I can make them look a little better. I feel better about them now considering its my first time touching them!

    I really like the idea behind the corsages and bouts. I do second the motion for something other than the faux baby's breath though. Also I like the larger flowers in the front of the bouquet. I would limit to maybe 3 or 4 different types of flowers varying in size. Too many different flowers can look in-cohesive. That doesn't mean you cant have more colors, but try to find the same type of flower in different colors if that makes sense. Just my opinion, I'm not a florist. I made my own bouquets too. Youtube has some great instructional videos than can help when it comes to arranging!

    Oh, I almost forgot- don't forget the greenery! That is important and worth buying pricier greenery that doesn't look fake. It's what's going to keep it from looking too obviously like fake flowers! Good luck in your crafting, and start early with making them; You'll be glad you did!
