This is my first post and first day to LI weddings! I am very excited! I have selected/ordered my girls bridesmaid dresses. Its a light pink, floor length, Cynthia Rowley gown. Beauitful! Its an evening wedding, fancy and elegant. Girls will carry white peonys and roses and I will also carry the same but larger with crystals (fake of course hahaha) in the bouquet. My issue is...I can not decide whether I should do white flowers as center pieces, or some tables white some pink. I do not care for mixed color arrangements of flowers...looks beautiful but just not the way I am looking to go. Anyone have some feedback or pictures?? Maybe someone has gone to a wedding or had a similiar vision at their own wedding?? Thank you so much!!

Re: Flowers for my reception!!!
we did all white CPs, and i absolutely loved the way our ballroom turned out. here are a few pics. if you look at the last pic, you'll see that there were some shades of ivory and cream in the CP to add texture.

Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. What color bridesmaid dresses did you have?
I just cant decide how to bring it all together..I have a little OCD hahaha.
DO you have some picture of your bouquets?

Re: Flowers for my reception!!!
i originally wanted fall color CPs, but DH convinced me that white would be super elegant, which is the feel we wanted. so i hear you in not sure how to bring it all together.
BM dresses were plum. here's a pic of the flowers.

btw, my friend got married at the carltun over the summer. here's a pic of her flowers. they were mostly white, but had some light pink.
i think they were done by pedestals.

If you don't want the flowers in the pink arrangements to be different shades of pink, I'd say go white. I think you'd have a better chance of them all looking uniform.
ETA: CONGRATS and welcome!!

White if your table cloths are colored, if you get white ones then go with pink flowers.

That looks so pretty. Im loving the white flowers against the colored gowns. The wedding must have been at the woodlands? I looked at so many mansions. Beautiful, thank you so much for sharing!!
Since our colors sound pretty similiar here are pics of our sample CP's - the only flower missing is pink peonies as they werent in season when this was made. My BOK is going to have a mixture of pink and white in it too.
Here are the colors of the matron and maid of honors dresses - the rest of the BM's are just in the darker shade of pink

Your CPs were absolutely gorgeous. I never even considered doing all white until I just saw your pictures!
