Last minute BM flower advice needed! (LONG)

Last minute BM flower advice needed! (LONG)

I have changed my mind on BM flowers *SO* many times... because I could. (I've doubted other decisions, but it was too late to change my mind).

You all know my BM dresses well by now (but if you've been under a rock, I have pictures in my album)

Our color scheme is blue and ivory with peach. I'm not crazy about blue flowers since they don't come naturally in nature, so that's where we are bringing in the peach. Our centerpieces are ivory with peach and a little green (pictures again in my albums, and one below).

I keep changing my mind for BM flowers -- originally callas, then decided the coral was too harsh and switched to peach. Was thinking about 2 shades of peach roses, but I never really liked all-rose bouquets and always preferred the look of more of a mix. I am thinking about mixing in some other flowers like possibly some hydrangeas.

I dont know if I should leave their bouquets all peach, mix in white, white and green, blue?, or go with a different type of flower.

Also, my MOH is wearing the same dress so I wanted to mix it up a little with her flowers.

We have our last florist appt tonight and I think I want to change my mind again from the peach/peach rose bouquets we currently have down.

Please give me your opinions, post pictures if you have, and help me make up my mind

Re: Last minute BM flower advice needed! (LONG)

what is your bo-k like? Just thinking maybe if it goes you could incorporate some elements of yours into MOH's to make it more special than BMs?

Maybe a combo of the peaches and some ivory would be nice, but mostly peaches? Maybe just the peaches and some green but like bear grass of something like that to break up the look, but not a whole flower? hmmm....

ETA: As someone with the same BM dress color, I agree to stay away from the blue--the dress will look blue in some lighting, purple in others...I think it's best to keep the bo-k's relatively simple b/c the dress is really the showpiece--I think a busy bo-k would be too much with the dress. Just some pics of mine with their bo-ks as a help I hope (my bo-ks were all one flower with 2 different shades and I thought it worked...)

In the RH lighting they looked more purple:


In my parents house they looked more blue:


Outside, also more blue:

I would keep the bo-k's how you have them, but add a few of the delphinium. I think what you have picked is gorgeous, but you are going to go crazy. Your bo-k's are very classy and perfect.

i wish peonies were in season. i love your bouquets, i just hate most all-rose bouquets. maybe if they had some buds or different sizes mixed in...

ex: i like #1 and dont like #2 or 3
