Come in if you are bored!

What color flowers would you use with this eggplant colored dress?

What color flowers would you use for a bride to contrast it.

What color flowers would you then use for centerpieces?

I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Re: Come in if you are bored!

first of all - I love this dress. I've been looking at it for my own bridal party.

I think a bright pink w/greens would contrast nicely with the eggplant. Especially since your getting married in the spring.

Re: Come in if you are bored!

My BM dresses are plum (very similar to yours) and this is what I'm using:

For me -- white roses, lavendar roses, hydrangea, sweet pea and stephanotis w/pearl centers

For BM -- lavendar roses, lisianthus, lavendar tulips, ginester.

Centerpieces -- lavendar tulips, white and lavendar roses, stock, lisianthus.

Re: Come in if you are bored!

leese... do a search for the purple bo-k thread, it might give you some more ideas!

Re: Come in if you are bored!

leese, I think you could go with almost any combo....I really happen to like the greens & purples with a hint of pink

I also like your idea of ivory for the girls & then purple for you!!!

You can also do reds & black magic with a hint of purple...I think I have a picture that I will show you...I have to find it in one of the folders though!!
