Centerpiece Help - all white or color?

I need help with my CPs ladies. Originally I wanted all orchid with curly willow CPs but when FH and I saw the sample, we didn't love it...there weren't enough orchids on it for what we wanted to pay

The florist has this sample on display and we decided to go with it. The problem is that I don't love it. I originally wanted all white CPs anyway, so that's fine. It has all of the flowers I like:

White Casablanca Liliies
Orchids dendrobium
White Calla Lilies
Curly Willow
Greenery: Lemon Leaves (?)

I'm just not sure of the shape. Maybe if it was more condensed? I dunno I still like the idea of using color (I'm having Eggplant dresses w/ cream & blush pink roses, and green orchids BoKs). I'm so confused!!

Does anyone has pics of similar CPs - in white or in color? TIA!

I like that you still did pink flowers for the cake, which is what I plan to do (Hot Pink roses like in my BoK).

Do you have pics of your CPs by any chance?

MD835 - Did your florist say whether or not the orchids were likely to open up.

I hate that those little $uckers don't always open up!!

I did all white flowers for my wedding

My girls wore Eggplant colored dresses and had all white bouquets and they just looked amazing, they really stood out in the pics against the dark color dresses

My centerpieces were all white as well
Here is a pic of the sample of my centerpiece

I LOVE color. The colors in the first BOK are great together.

I love color too but I also love that all white is very elegant. I think to do the colors and flowers in the BoK would be very expensive for the size I want since it's all roses and orchids.
I the BoK, I can't wait to see it in person!!!

This is what I originally wanted to do!!!! Unfortunately, FH doesn't like the way you can see all of the stems in the vase. We decided to go with an arrangment that sits on top of the vase and has water and orchids inside - which I do love....it's all about compromising!!

i considered doing all white, i considered doing bright tropical colors, and finally decided on mainly white with some peach and green accents.

BM dresses are blue with peach flowers.
