My CPs with pics! Need advice!

So we’re going to the florist today to see our sample CPs… some of you might remember that I posted about a month ago that I had called our florist to change our colors (since we haven’t met with our florist in a year) and they told us you can’t meet just to discuss colors, they make the sample for you and then you have to make changes. Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, and I’ve left messages with both the receptionist and on our specific florist’s v-mail saying our colors are navy and fuchsia now instead of blue and yellow.

SO – I will either be a later with pics of a fuchsia and white CP, or if I have pics of a blue and yellow one.

Stay tuned!

Update: So we went there today. And walked in to see this:

I knew that was going to happen.

They were very apologetic though and fixed it right away, so now the colors are right.

I just... I dunno. I like it, but I'm not sure if I LOVE it. But I don't really know what, if anything, I would do to change it. Get rid of the green hydrangea maybe and make it all white?

Any suggestions?

Yes I agree with taking out the green. And adding more white, blue, and another shade of pink to the mixture (in addition to the bright pink roses).

In any case.. I do like it.. I think you should add a lighter pink tone flower to the mixture as well... this way it isn't so striking and the colors blend better. leave the bright pink flowers but just add lighter ones too.. maybe light pink peonies? I know someone suggested peonies but what abuot light pink ones?

The original CP, the one in your old colors... that one blends well.. because the green and yellow blend well together. When they swapped it for the pink it made the green color seem off. I think it's just that the original one was made for the yellow colors like you said.

Just some minor tweaking and it will be perfect!

I'm just not getting a read on it... I think you're right about taking out the green hydrangea. There's a lot going on as far as colors are concerned. I really like all the flowers but I agree it needs a little some else.
