Please help me redesign this centerpiece

This is the sample centerpiece that I saw last night. It is exactly what I wanted, so I'm not disappointed or anything. But now that I see it, I think the bright pink gerbera daisy might be too bright. I feel like my eye is just drawn to it, and I don't want one flower to outshine the rest.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a pale pink flower I can replace it with? I already have pale pink roses and lisianthus.

Thanks!

I think there are lighter pink shades of gerbera daisies, that would look great.

I like the way gerbera daisy looks in this centerpiece, you might just try a softer color of the same flower

Peonies are my favorite, but they are out of season. Tulips are a good idea...

Thanks for the suggestions ladies! You are the best!

You could use some more colors maybe something that would cordinate w/ bridesmaid dresses. It seems like there was alot more white colored flowers it needed something more, like adding color.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, the BM dresses are pink, so I'd like the flowers to be pink and white.

There is a bit too much white in my opinion. To get each flower to stand out (rather than just one bright one) you need to make sure each is distinct.

You don't need to match them to the BM dresses. Nobody will notice a theme and it really doesn't matter anyway. The dresses and the flowers are such different entities.

I'd add some green hydrangea, pink roses and maybe some snapdragons in pink as well. Orchids can also make it really elegant (they are hearty and not as pricey as you would think)

Instead of the plain white lillies I would go for the stargazer lily - it has pink on the inside with white tips - would help tie in the pink gerbers.
