Need help coordinating...

Here are my BM dresses in claret. It is a red, sort of on the cranberry side. What color roses will go with this for the BM bouquets, and centerpieces. I dont want red to be my only color. I need something else that will work with this. I am so stuck here, need help from the creative! Thanks ladies...

Re: Need help coordinating...

My girls are wearing claret. The florist suggested using colors like yellow and orange and giving it a great Fall look. I thought it sounded funny but I saw it in a magazine and it looked great!

That sounds beautiful, but my wedding is in april, so you think any other colors would work?

This is what I did with my 'bordeaux' BM dresses. I used the oranges, etc.

Close up of MOH bouquet which had some blue delphinium in it and looked so pretty against the organges and also matched my bouquet.

Re: Need help coordinating...

Thanks! I was so happy with the way the bouquets turned out. It was exactly how I had envisioned it. Look at lots of pictures and you'll find after awhile you keep turning to the same types of colors, flowers, arrangements. Have fun with it!

Hey Christy,
My BMs are wearing garnet and I am having them carry very pale pink colored roses. I believe the name of the rose is Candy Blanca.

Re: Need help coordinating...

The good thing with that color is you have a lot of choices...The rose ambiance or Confetti would be beautiful, also yellow roses. My girls carried a combination of yellow roses and blue hydrengeas. I am going to look for a pix...BRB

Re: Need help coordinating...

I do not know if you can see this but here is a close shot of my bo-k, my girls had variations of this. You can also use orange roses. You have so many choices. Have fun and don't be afraid to experiment.

I am planning to do a similar thing, white/cream roses for the girls and red rose/calla combination for me

Re: Need help coordinating...

I think I want to carry red roses too. So my girls could carry white, but I like the idea of the shades of pink too. This is a tough choice.

Re: Need help coordinating...

my girls were in claret. We used black magic roses in the bouquets with yellows and oranges....

my wedding was in April, and the girls didn't look like fall.

Re: Need help coordinating...

the dress and color are beautiful!!

because the dress is so strong, i would keep with understated colors in order to have an elegant result...maybe cream or ivory roses mixed in with some pale yellow or orange ones...i would keep it to 2 colors though...less is more in this case...
