My BMs have voted to wear periwinkle and we are all happy with that, except now i need some help with flower/color coordination! I would like them to carry bouquets in one solid color and I love bright bold colors! Would a deep pink/fuschia -with green fresh cuts stems- look crazy with that color? I have gotten mixed opinions. Any other suggestions? Thanks for your help!

Re: Opinions?
Your best bet is to go to the florist w/ a swatch of the BM dress. (Try to get a decent size swatch) Then you & your florist can figure out what color/colors will go best. Good Luck!

Re: Opinions?
on this site a while back someone posted pics from their wedding ---her bm wore peri and they had pink flowers and it looked beautiful--i want peri too and will use pink, white and a touch of peri flowers ( i hope--well that is what i am aiming for!)....i have seen peri w/yellow and always thought i would use that until i saw the post on here w/the pink flowers-and to me the pink totally blows away the yellow!

Another color to consider would be dark red. Very bold and looks awesome against periwinkle. Then if you wanted, you could carry a red bouquet with purple accents to pick up the periwinkle that your girls aould be wearing.
Periwinkle is actually very versatile. Bright blue would look pretty and I think that fuschia would be amazing as well.

Re: Opinions?
My bm dresses are peri as well. I met with the florist yesterday. We are going with lavendar roses, white roses, lisanthus?(which is a darker purple looks like a rose) and few other purple, blue flowers. I wanted to do yellow to but didn't look as good.

I used periwinkle bridesmaids dresses and hot pink roses. It was beautiful and the colors in the pics are incredible.
Jenny, thanks so much!A really helpful and beautiful pic! I love that color combo- this was just the extra vote of confidence I needed to commit to it!

KC, glad to help out. The pink flowers were a certain kind (can't remember the name) that were white-ish on the bottom then pink at the top. I was scared that the all pink would be too overpowering so I went with these instead.
They dried real well too! I have my sis's maid of honor bouquet on a shelf and it still looks beautiful!
