What color bouquet should i have?

[JessicaPV]

I love dark red flowers. I know when I get married evrything is going to be red. If you cant find them maybe do something multi-color of dark flowers. Muti-color is always beautiful in your wedding pics. They match everyone! Good luck finding the perfect one for you!

Alyssa - if you are worried about them not matching, what about having like 3 dark flowers mixed in with the pink? That could look really good and totally tie it together without messing up the dark red look you have in other parts, OR the original bouquet that you wanted!

But I also have to add that I had orange shoes for teh AHR and JA and orange flowers for the AHR and pink flowers for JA. It was never obvious, and to me, it just brought in 2 of my wedding colors. I was looking at your pictures and I think it wouldn't ruin anything at all if you had pink flowers and your red shoes! But I am all about contrast and flashy-ness.

Alyssa, to be honest, when I was looking through your planning thread, I thought your bouquet was an odd choice. I really liked it, but it seemed out of place. Just the first reaction I had. I think the dark orchids that were previously posted would be absolutely stunning and tie everything together beautifully.

I like the second pic of the orchids bc the lips are dark red.

 

can I just say.. I'm DYING for your wedding to come up and see how gorgeous everything will be. You have such style and attention to detail.

Amy, did you see my shout out about the shoes you sent me in my planning thread? i can't wear them - they are 1/2 size too tight - do you want me to send them back?

Awww - thanks girlie!!!



and to everyone else - i totally agree about the dark - i called my WC and he said "no problem" so it is all good - we are going dark lol.

also, i had my 2nd fitting today and my seamstress gave me a bunch of the fabric from my dress that she cut off of the bottom when she hemmed it - i am going to mail it to my WC tomorrow and the florist will use it to wrap my bouquet and FI's bout

OMG i LOVE peonies but they do not do well in heat AT ALL and i don't think are too common in Hawaii. I did speak with the WC and he said no problem to go with the same inspiration pic but in a dark red/burgundy color so i am all set!
