bo-k poll

so my colors are ivory/ champagne and navy blue and i really don't want to do other colors. i'm simple in that way. anyway, i looove stephanotis because they're shaped like starfish and go perfectly with my beach theme. i'm wondering if i can have just them for my bok with a blue pearl or whatever goes in the middle. will this look strange against my ivory gown??

i was thinking of having my girls have the same as well, but maybe without the touches of blue, and giving my MOH a blue thing around the vases to stand out a little. what do we think??

TIA

i like the idea of an all white Bok...even an all stephanoitis Bok. I am not crazy about the ribbons in the pic but i like the jewels in the stephanoitis.

ETS: its ok to have color in ur Bok. it wouldn't stand out in a bad way at all.

I don't know your budget for flowers but I know a bouquet of all stephanoitis is pricey.

I hear that a full steph bo-k is really expensive. I am having the steph wiht blue jewels in the middle as well. I personally dont like all white bo'k's cause in pics it blends with the dress but its all about what you like.

Re: bo-k poll

I think most bo-ks have color in them. I have a blue and silver theme and will probably go for a mostly white bo-k with a touch of blue. I have never seen the stephanotis with colored jewels before, and I am so happy to have seen this thread. Do you have any pics with the blue jewels?

My friend had an ivory gown and an all stephanotis bo-k...it was beautiful!!! I would say blue jewels and the wrap be navy blue ribbon...I think it will be fierce.

I wish I had pics... but my friend's wedding we had blue hydragenea and stephanotis... so it would stick with your colors... they were really pretty... MOH and bride also had light pink roses... but you don't need to do that
