Need flower help please...(Tried not to make it too long, but it is)

BM's dresses raspberry
Still want a fall look

Florist suggested - raspberry colored roses, light orange gerbers, deep red flower that looks like a gerber, and brownish berries (I think that's it).

I would like my bo-k to somewhat match the BM's, and I definitly want stephanotis (sp?).

I think these are his 2 suggestions (4 my bo-k):
1. mostly white with raspberry roses and the steph. and the berries
2. rust colored calla's with raspberry roses, steph. and the berries.

My dilema: I don't want mostly white b/c I like when the steph. pop. I went to see the rust calla's and they were too big and too dark. Also, he thinks I shouldn't have the rust b/c my dress is beaded and it would be too much.

Any advice or suggestions? TIA

What about just the raspberry roses with the stephenosis? Or did you really want a 3rd flower in there?

Well I kind of want to blend with them. I feel like me with an all raspberry (pink) bo-k will look funny with all the fall flowers. Am I wrong?

I am not sure if the Rust colored calla's are the same but I know they make a color called Flame. They have them in the mini size.... not the huge ones. I think the mini would be better for your bouquet and I think the flame would look pretty and blend with the other fall flowers in the BM bouquets. I am having them in my bouquet and I am wearing an ivory dress.....
Here is a bouquet with the flame color:

I like the idea of raspberry roses with the stephanotis.
Waht is the name of the rose ? My sis will carry a bo-k of Leonidas roses, hypericum berries and seeded eucalyptus. The Leonidas is a dusky deep color, darker than mauve but not quite in the pink family, not quite red. My FMIL will also have this color rose in a wrist bracelet to match her deep berry colored dress. GM will have as bouts

Pics of my CP's are in my album. There are three roses - Circus (yellow/orange), Black Magic (dark red) and the Leonidas.

Hope this helps.
