Meeting with florist in 2 weeks, need color ideas

My wedding is in the fall and this is the BM dress. The color is pecan. I'm not sure if orange or yellow goes. What flowers can I use besides roses or calla lillies?

i think a nice deep red color would look great unless you're not into red..

Bring a swatch of your dresses to the florist and they
should help you pick a nice flower

I found these pics. Also check if lillies are in season, as long as no one is allergic to them.

I agree with a deep red/burgandy color.

I'd go with deep burgandy--like black magic roses, and maybe add some circus roses, which are deep yellow with red edged petals. That would look stunning, I think.

Who is your florist?

John at Flower Michele. I know he will do a great job, but I wanted to bring in some pics of various colors and flowers to see what works best with this color dress.
