Flowers!
So below are the pictures I found of the flower ideas I like for the bouquets and boutineers. I have no idea what kind of flower that star-shaped white flower is, so if anyone does, and could let me know, that would really help me! :)

Origins
Also known as Madagascar jasmine, floradora or waxflower, Stephanotis floribunda is native from Malaya to Madagascar. Its name derives from the Greek stephanos, which means "crown," and otos, which means "ear," and refers to the five earlike appendages to the staminal crown at the flowers' center.
The woody, twining vines are related to milkweed and are members of the Asclepiadaceae family. The vines feature leathery, elliptical leaves and fragrant, waxy white, tubular blooms that are highly prized as wedding flowers.
I think that this is the flower name. I went online a typed in stephanotis and pulled up all type of samples. Of the wedding bouquets I did see, they all paled in comparison to what you are looking at. A lot of them have small sized pearls in the center, which appears to give it a finished look. Classier in appearance than other center finishers.
Your selections are lovely, Christy.
