What bouquet to get? Need help!

I am undecided about whether to get an all black magic roses bouquet, or a black magic with stephanotis. Opinions please!

ETA: Some pics I like! Looking for pic. of black magic with stephanotis! The first and last pic. have stephanotis accents!

A black magic rose bo-k will be very dark, is that what you're looking for? I'm not sure what the other flowers look like that you mentioned.

What is a stephanotis?

Stephanotis are the white flowers in the first picture.

ETA--miena re goign to be like the last picture--Ivory& peach roses& stephanotis, but mine will also have iviy & be slightly cascading.

I think black magic is too much of a contrast for a white gown, but many people like that look.

I happen to love stephanotis and I think it breaks up a bo-k nicely so I vote for it! :)

I think the last bouquet is beautiful. Now I'll be the one to ask....what are black magic roses? Are those the ones in the first pic?

The ones in the third pic. down--a darker red color!

ETA: The gown is ivory so it isn't pure white to contrast!

Re: What bouquet to get? Need help!

I love the stephanotis myself... and against the black magic roses, it'll look gorgeous

then again i am biased...my bo-k was all deep dark purples (lisanthus and sweet pea) with just the white stephanotis w/crystals to set it off

Its really a matter of preference. I've seen just the black magic rose bo-ks with no other color/flower and they are stunning as well.

In general I am a big fan of dark bo-ks for brides ... against your white/ivory gown it looks so dramatic

Here is a pic of a black magic rose..its a very deep, dark, rich red ... love it!

I like the first pic you posted... are those black magic? I was told that blck magic roses can look almost black in photos...

Re: What bouquet to get? Need help!

do you think it will be too much with the black magic roses and the stephanotis. I love both, but i am just wondering if the stephanotis take away from the black magic.

that was my concern too with the stephanotis- I really wanted it b/c it is supposed to be the marriage flower but I like it better mixed with lighter colors and I am having black magic roses...

Re: What bouquet to get? Need help!

black magic is darker than the 1st pic you posted above.. like this (though this has callas mixed in .. but it gives you an idea of the contrast)

Re: What bouquet to get? Need help!

IMO...I would do only black magics.

It was beautiful (as were you!)! Glad to see it doesn't look too dark at all! What bout. did your DH and the GM have?

Re: What bouquet to get? Need help!

My husband had a black magic rose to match my bouquet, and the GM's had a Vellum (sp?) or cream colored rose to match the BM's bouquets. I'll attach a pic of those of my MOH's bouquet.

Great! Are those fire and ice roses they had with white and peach? Looks beautiful. I was thinking black magic mixed with white roses for them, a black magic bout. for FH, and white roses for the GM. What did the fathers/grandfathers/grandmothers/mothers get? Too many decisions!

Re: What bouquet to get? Need help!

Yes, they're fire and ice, cream, and a lite pink.

Neither of us have grandparents, but if I did I would probably do something completely different. Like an Orchid or something.
