I need advice - I've been going to florists and trying to get ideas, but I'm not sure i'm happy with what I'm getting.
My bridesmaid dresses are David's Bridal Apple Red - has anyone used this color and if so - what flower scheme did you go with? I'm trying to stay away from Red, White and Blue and I don't like Yellow on the red....anyone have better ideas?

Much appreciated! Thank you!!

I am doing red dresses with white tulips for the girls and mine will be white and deep red calla lillies.
I know that isn't what you want though, sorry I can't help!

Thank you all for your responses!

To clarify - I'm looking into Red and White with roses some other types for myself (mini orchids, fresia and/or mini calas). My girls I'm currently looking at red roses and white daisies.
I meant I was trying to stay away from red/white/blue - patriotic thing.

I was trying to stay away from pink, but now that I see some of them..I don't know. I just want someone to show me something and be like 'I think you should do this.' It would make my life so much easier!

So far I've met with Flower Barn, Flower Michele, James Cress, Malkmes & With All My Heart. I have no idea what I want. I've liked what *most* of them have had to say, but haven't so much liked all their prices.

What does anyone think a good budget for flowers (with and without centerpieces) is?

(For 1 MOH, 5 BMs, 2 Flowergirls, 1 BM, 5 Ushers 1 Ring bearer.....extras include 2 mothers, 2 fathers, 2 gmas....possibly a couple of readers? In terms of centerpieces it would be a minimum of 15 tables)
