Need some advice...Those of you who had all white Bridal Bo-K's...

Sorry don't mean to barge in on the Newlywed Board, but I had a question....

Those of you who had all white Bridal Bo-K's and did Black and White photos with a little color in the picture (sorry a little hard to explain without a picture), how did they come out? Can you post a picture if you have?

Because I want to have some photos like that, but will it look like a waste even if my Bo-K is ALL WHITE and won't show up? Or should I add color to my Bo-K?

Thanks and I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

I had a all white bouquet. If you click on my avatar you will see one of our pics.

oh wait I know what you are talking about now. If you do black and white and then have your bouquet in color and its all white I would think it would loook weird.

I mean usually in those pics they are trying to bring our the color and detail in the bouquet.

Don't get me to lying girl I am no photography expert

If anything, a white bouquet will be more 'lost' in a color photo than a black and white.

A color photo highlights color differences better but a black and white photo will show shadows and shading better.

So a white bouquet on a white dress will blend more in a color photo than a B&W. At least thats what I would think.

This is the only black and white photo of mine I could find. Your question is you want the picture to be all black and white and then the bouquet in color?

I don't know how that will look but this is how mine came out in all black and white. I don't know if it looks more washed out in the black and white or color

i had an all white bouquet and opted against coloring it in in the b&w picture. although i love the look that can have with a more colorful bouquet, i think it looks odd with a white bouquet (mine ended up looking yellowish).
however, personally, i wouldnt change the color of my bouquet just for the effect in a picture!

(just for the record, this is my 1000th post)

We chose to do the bo-k shots in sepia instead of traditional b&w. It gave the bo-k a little more definition, and a bit of personality as well. Sorry, no pics yet

Thanks

Miro127, 'i wouldnt change the color of my bouquet just for the effect in a picture!' - I agree, but I'm not sure if I should all white or add some color in my Bo-K - then what color? decisions, decisions -- I guess I was trying to make it easier for me...one less decision to make-LOL

Anyone else?

I had an all white bo-k and will not have a b&w with coloring done with just me and my bo-k or me and DH and my bo-k... I would choose a picture with MORE colors in the background. A friend of mine did this and it was during her petal toss, the petals were colored in and her DH's tie, as well as the bridesmaids bo-k's. There are ways to do this without adding color to a white bo-k. I would NOT add color to my white bo-k.

I hope I made sense, lol... I kinda started to babble!

My dress was ivory and my bouquet was all ivory roses with touches of winterberries...I have some black and white photos that I do not plan on adding any color to them...SORRY for the blurriness of the pics...these are pics of my proofs that I took with my digital camera!
