Hi ladies! So I am having a bit of a dilemma and I need some honest opinions from other future brides :)
We are having a winter wedding and I have been set on a black and white theme with some silver. The bridal party is wearing long chiffon black dresses and holding white bouquets (roses and 'frosted' babies breath). I was originally set on myself with a white bouquet (white roses, hydrangeas, 'frosted' babies breath and calla lilies). We just picked out the tuxes today. Its going to be black jackets, FH's vest and tie will be ivory to match my dress and the groomsmen are going to have a silver/grey vest and tie (uploaded a pic in the wedding album). (fathers will have charcoal vest and tie, a little darker than the other guys).
So this is my question - I am kind of liking the red bouquet idea for myself, just a little color to stand out against all the black and white and grey. Pic below - red roses and white calla lilies. Now, I am just concerned that the red bouquet may not mix well with the guys silver/grey vest colors in the pictures. Keep in mind, the girls will still have white bouquets, it would just be me with the red. I would probably have FH with a red rose boutonniere to match me and the guys will have a white rose to match the girls.
What are your opinions? Yes for the red bridal bouquet? Or will the red look silly since the bridal party will be all black white and silver?
I know it may seem little and petty but I don't want my pictures to looks weird!

YES! I was going to say red before I even finished reading and saw that's what you were asking haha. I love red thrown in there. Their silver vests will go with anything. I think that pop of color will look amazing when you come walking down the isle.

We have almost exactly the same colors and the same time. The only thing I'm attempting to do different is pops of a light blue but I love the red and think it will look awesome. Personally I would say the color red and white for you since you are wearing white (or ivory) and white bouquets for the girls since their dresses are dark... Let me know what you decide and who are you using for flowers?

A little pop of red is perfect. It will go well and will be a great way to have you and the FH stand out a bit. Go for it!

Do the red! It'll look really nice against all of the black and white and the red bout on your FH will make him stand out!

I think the red helps add a little to the color scheme. It gives your bouquet an extra pop besides just the white..good choice!

I think that's really pretty, and I think it will mix just fine
Absolutely red! I'm doing a brooch bouquet for myself but I am doing the same color scheme (black, ivory, silver and pops of gold) and my girls are in black chiffon dresses. the guys will be in black tuxes with black vests and bow ties.
I really want my girls to have white anenomes and my MOH will have red anenomes. I want my stepdad and FFIL to have red bouts and our moms and grandma will have white corsages :)
