Bridal Bouquets: Color vs. White

Original post by soon2beMrsHenry92912

Hi ladies!

So I had thought I knew exactly what I wanted for my flowers and then when I was discussing boutonierres this weekend with a florist, it totally changed my way of thinking. Originally I wanted all dark puples and reds with pops of fushia and lighter purples in my bouquets. But the florist couldn't come up with a combination of flowers for the the grooms boutinerre that I liked. So I started to rethink my vision. Now I'm pondering an all white bouquet so that FH can have a white boutinerre and save the color for the bridal party. So my question to you (and I'm sorry this is so long) is what color is your bridal bouquet and the colors of your bm bouquet and what kind of boutinerres are your men wearing? Any pics would be greatly appreciated!! TIA

I'm having hot pink roses with those small 5-petal white flowers to break it up.
My bridesmaids are going to have different hues of pink in their bouquets.
The groomsmen are going to have a hot pink rose.
My FH will have a hot pink rose with one of those small 5-petal white flowers with it.

***When I first started looking at flowers I told florists that I wanted an all white bouquet. All 3 of the people I priced out talked me out of it. They said that the white flowers sometimes don't match your dress and they blend in too much in pictures. After looking at many pictures of brides with white flowers compared to color, the color ones, in my opinion, we're just so much nicer. ***

I'm doing all white for myself. White roses and calla lilies. FH will have a white orchid. I'll have a white orchid in my hair. It was just my personal preference to be white from top to bottom, but that was just my own vision.

My BM's will have blush pink roses. GM's will have pink orchids. I'm going with very soft colors, because the BM dresses are very navy blue.
