need opinions-- red and purple theme?
hi,I started looking at bm dresses and this combo caught my eye....i was originally looking for a sort of dark blue/ teal dresses but as my moh tried on dresses we saw these combos....
is that too weird red and purple? the dresses below I would like in red w/ accent in purple....
I'm wondering what kind of flowers would my bms carry?!....
I am also attaching a pic of 'Backinneyork' center piece...do you think I could so something similar ina bouqet? would it clash with the bm dresses?

Personally I think the colors look great. when i read your post i was like red and purple - yuk, but seeing it it looks so good. Go for it, its very different.

I think its GORGEOUS! All 3 dresses are just beautiful! As for flowers, Id have them carry something SIMPLE with not alot of color in it.. Maybe you can switch the typical bo-k's... instead of BM's with colorful bo-k's and you with a white/ivory bo-k, give BMs the ivory bo-k's and you use a red/purple bo-k? Just a thought!

I really like the 2nd Aand 3rd Dresses. There is nothing wrong with your color. Though those dont look like purple more like a wine color. They are beautriful. Im not sure about your flower arrangements maybe ask the ladies from Flower Michelle I've read good things about them!

Those colors look gorgeous together. I really like the second dress. I think red roses will look nice with that color combination.

OH- another idea- if you'd use ivory bo-k's for the BMs, maybe throw in 1 red or purple rose. I loooove bo-k's with that 1 rose to splash color into it!

here is that pic of center pieces from 'Backinneyork'...i think its from flower michelle with plums in the vase! how cool is that!
what do you guys think of theses flowers for a bouqet? too much going on w/ dress?
I do think it would be too much for a bo-k and excellent for a cp. Ask Flower Michelle what he would use to compliment it.

Re: need opinions-- red and purple theme?
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!I am a big fan of Jewel Tone Colors together
Go for it
Only thing with the Flowers, I would maybe go more towards the cream colors and bring the purple & red in here and there. Don't want to over do it with the color IMO

Red and purple flowers look amazing together. I was just in a wedding with this combination.

Re: need opinions-- red and purple theme?
I think it is very different and REALLY pretty! I would also go with a simple bo -k with a splash of either red or purple like someone else mentioned. Very nice idea....good luck!!
