I would stick with a solid or monochromatic bouquet for the BMs with that dress. I like pink with blue! Ivory would be nice too, then you can have ivory roses with blue hydrangea.

blue hydrangea is nice. I'm having blue BM dresses and I'm accenting with hot pink roses and maybe white and blue delphinium. I like the way the pink will stand out.

Good luck!

LOVE love love the blue hydrangea that Holly231 is posting....AND I used Hydrangea for some of my flowers (we used 3 different flowers, all the same color, hot pink-we had 2 hot pink tulip boo-ks, 2 hydrangea, and 2 Gerbera daisies). I also kept my boo-ks small....so I think the hydrangeas were 2 blooms and it was perfect!

What about doing an opposite theme.....the girls carry ivory flowers (to emphasize the dress) and you carry the blue hydrangea? I think that would look awesome in the pics!

First of all - Hi Vanessa!

I agree and love Shana's idea (that I quoted above) ... having the girls carry ivory flowers and having YOUR bo-k incorporate blue hydrangea -- or maybe combining the hydrangea in your bo-k with some ivory roses , but basically keeping the BM's flowers simple in a solid , neutral color ..

Your dress is SO beautiful and so is the BM's ... I would also say that once you speak with your florist (if you chose one already) they can usually help you out with a lot of other suggsetions on what colors look good, or how to contrast the two, etc. I know that is what saved me, my florist came up with many wonderful ideas to incorporate all the colors I wanted into the bo-ks

Good Luck!!!! (and good to see you finally post
