go with the black so you have more options....and know I wont beat you with a stick for it lol ...

i'm worried that the bridal party won't stand out as much then...
the last wedding i went to EVERYONE wore black. Except me... i felt like i didnt get the memo.

I want people to know how special you all are without having to rent the short bus.

I'm doing black dresses. I'm not too worried about them blending in. Not many people, well not in my circle anyway, wear floor length gowns to weddings so though lots of women will be wearing black I would assume, I know my BMs will still stand out anyway.

That's a really good point!

I like your original color dress - it's beautiful!

Instead of trying to match the flowers, why not go for creams and darker blues - like violet flowers? that would look great against the aqua-y blue...

I really like that first blue.

Yellows & greens and hot pink would be amazing with that color! You don't want blue'ish flowers or baby pink - you'd look all mommy like....not that it's a bad thing - but not for a wedding.

I would think you would want BRIGHT colors to pop off the dress....it's beautiful!!!

Thanks! That's what i was hoping for, other color suggestions... i guess i didnt make that clear.

I do not want to MATCH the color flowers to the dress exactly. I just don't want the flowers to clash with that shade of blue.

I am thinking of having the girls have ivory flowers, tied with or wrapped with fabric from their dress after alterations, and have me carry a mostly Ivory BoK with some blue flowers thrown in.

I want it all kind of simple. I was thinking of doing an orange/aqua thing, but it's just 'too much' for me and FH. we're really simple kind of people.

i want things to pop, but i don't want it to pop too much.

i'm confusing myself

I totally get it and LOVE the idea of using fabric from their dresses! I may have to steal that!!!!!

I wouldn't go orange/aqua - it's rather OUT THERE.... Maybe a bright yellow flower in the middle or beautiful green would be great. Even a very bright red would be a nice contrast....even in your boquet.

My girls are wearing cobalt blue and we're doing hot pinks, deep reds, greens & yellows so that it pops and isn't to - red, white and blue - all 4th of july type thing...

You can try some Ivory flowers mixed with purple flowers to brighten up the dress, then your bo-k can really stand out.

---

any suggestions as to what shade of purple?
i think the right shade purple, pink, or blue, is exactly what i'm looking for.
but i can't figure out what way to go.

flowers are my obsession and freak out of the day.

do you think HOT PINK flowers would work with my blue?
I love the idea, and i think hot pink is far enough away from a baby pink to not look all babyshowerish.

what do you think? HONESTY IS KEY HERE! if you guys hate my ideas, please tell me and help me fix it!

I am always honest darlin!

Hot pink may look a little Miami Vice now that I think about it....with that pale blue - and bright pink.

I do like the DEEP purple idea. That would be really nice! Let me see if i can find an example!

Not necessarily this FLOWER - but this color!!

Hang on - too big!

Ok I posted it in your other BHB one by accident. I found some and just put them on top of the dress so you can see:
