Re: CP?

it's pretty but I agree too much green... and the bold yellow sorta doesn't mix well... maybe white or light pink would work better? or a softer yellow?

Re: CP?

Honestly, I think there is just way too much going on that CP. Yes, there's too much green, but I don't like the way those shades of purple, yellow, and pink go together either. The green washes out the color in the other flowers, too.

I would simplify the centerpiece color-wise. What are your colors? Are they purple, yellow, and pink?! I would start with a whiter base instead of the green, white callas or orchids like someone else mentioned. Then, I would pick two colors (from purple, yellow, and pink) and stick to that. I think as it is in this picture, the colors are all over the place and the green is causing them to fade and not pop out.

I think replacing the green with white would make a huge difference!

I think it's beautiful. I would take out all the green and just leave the purple/yellow and the brown stalk.

I agree. Purple and yellow absolutely go together. Just less green and I think it will be perfect!

My colors are purple and yellow and thank you! I will take everything you said into consideraton.
It definately looks like I am taking the green out!

I want bigger flowers. Whats a nice big yellow flower that will go with the purple dalphiniums and what other purple flowers are there? I think I will definatley put orchids into the mix and keep the brown stalks cause i like that... hmmmm

Re: CP?

How about hydreaneas to fill your CP's, I think your florist can dye them any color you want, they will the CP very nicely. I am doing some of those for my CP but in white

Re: CP?

I think they are beautiful - I personally would add a little more color - but it's your day - you do it however you want!

Re: CP?

I think it's beautiful but lose some of the green - the purple and yellow need to pop out a bit more.

Re: CP?

if it were me, I would replace the yellow with white callas. But it depends on your room and taste and colors etc. If you like them and they are what you want- then go for it!! :) They will prolly look great in ur room!

Re: CP?

I have an appointment with my florist on June 13th! He is going to come up with another sample or two for me to check out.

I'll let you know how it goes! Thank you all for your suggestions!

Re: CP?

You said that you don't like calla lilies.

How about iris ? They are purple and some actually have yellow centers. This would hlep the delphiniums pop a bit more.
Hydrangeas would help fill out the arrangement. You can do a variety of the pale greens and blues. I'd stay away from the pink.

Re: CP?

How about yellow tiger lillies...these would go perfectly!
