Meeting with my florist today - need your opinions

My bridesmaids dresses are red....so I am going to do some combo of red and white flowers....do you think it looks best for me to have a white bouquet and then do red flowers against their red dresses, or does it make more sense to do 'opposites'.... (I carry red flowers against my white dress, and they carry white flowers against their red dresses)??

Opinions please!

What about a red/white combo for the girls? I had an all red bouquet for myself and the girls carried a bouquet that had white in the middle and red on the outside. Let me see if I can find a pic.

ETP - This is along the lines of what Im talking about.

I personally love the way colored flowers photograph against a white wedding gown. SO with that said I think you should carry red roses, and the girls a mixture of red and white.

I agree. I think the red roses against a red dress won't stand out as much as white roses against the red dress. Opposites will make the colors pop.

I am having black magic roses. All the girls are wearing red dresses. My MOH will have vendela roses (whitish/creme roses) and forever young roses (a little lighter than black magic). The rest of the girls will have vendela roses.

I agree with the mixture- you all red...MOH mix...others more white. Let your florest suggest tho- they gave me ideas I never would have thought of. They are the pros. If you don't like it, go with your original idea! I wanted a mixture of flowers so I needed this- all roses is so pretty also. Good luck.
