Need Help Bad .... Thinking of Changing Colors ... sorry so long

Hey everyone...

So as you can see by my picture icon i am obsessed with the red rose bouquet in contrast with the white wedding dress ... when i picked my fall wedding colors i fell in love with the chocolate brown and tiffany blue ... i was thinking of doing my bridesmaids in brown with the ribbon of tiffany blue and possibly my MOH in tiffany blue with the ribbon of brown ... BUT everyone including my wedding planner is saying i can do the red flowers with the brown but not the tiffany blue ... any suggestions ... the lady at Kleinfelds yesterday told suggested rasberry as my other color ... HELP

If you're dead set on that red bouquet I personally would stay away from the Tiffany Blue. IMO That Robin's Egg blue and red look very strange together. Brown and red is a better contrast.

I couldn't find too much on google, but, chocolate and red go nice if you use the right shade of red. Like a burgundy. It's very fall looking.

Re: Need Help Bad .... Thinking of Changing Colors ... sorry so long

why not keep the red bq for you...and pick something that compliments the blue/brown of the BMs...all the flowers don't need to match....or talk to your florist..i am sure they can recommend something that will look great!

ETA: some color swatches & photoshopped looks to help

I think you can do red and blue...but I think the brown makes it muddy.
Maybe red, blue, black?
Or red, blue, silver?
The red blue brown isn't awful, it just looks more corporate instead of wedding.

Exactly my thoughts. I love that tiffany blue with that muted orangey red.

I'm strange too I guess, this was my second choice for colors. I love the color combo, even though TIffany the Co. itself makes me yawn.
