Should your bo-k match or blend with your BM's dress?

Should your bo-k match or blend with your BM's dress?

I booked with Flower Michele very early before the girls picked out their dresses.

I am having a fall wedding and picked Mango calla lillies, circus flowers and terra cotta roses

My BP bouquets is TBD because we didn't have their dress yet.

Their dress is a shimmery cinnamon.

Mango and cinnamon???? Will it matter in pictures even though it will only be in mine?

I think I should have a flower that will match of blend.

What do you think?.

Instead of the mango callas you can do the chocolate ones that actually look like cinnamon.

My advice would be to actually wait until the dresses come in and then determine if you shift your bouquet colors a little bit.

My bouquet, dress twin, will be cream roses with 3 mango callas (to get a bit of brown) and some hydrangeas to capture the blue.

Nope. Don't let the name of the color fool you. When Burton's showed it to me they looked burgundy, not chocolate at all. The mango callas looked more like brownish to me - or at least the ones they had when I went there.

The colors for our wedding are mocha & papaya.. so... My bo-k will be cream, ivory w/ stephanotis & pearls.
BP bo-k will will blend with their Mocha colored dresses. Their flowers will be papaya.

MOH dress is papaya & mocha.... have yet to decide on the color of her flowers.

Hey Regal Beagle..You might have already picked out your flowers, but my girls too are wearing cinammon (bill levkoff) and my florist recommended mango calla lilies and leonidas roses for their bouquets. I think they mesh really well together. I am having a white/ivory bouquet so mine won't necessary match back to theirs. Oh and I have the same bridal gown as you too. We have so much in common :) Good luck!
