What color flowers should I use for the BM and my bouquet????

This is the color of my BM dress (not the style though, the style is empire waist with spaghetti straps, see a sample in my profile pics):

What color boks should I get????? My wedding colors (I think) are gold and this deep rose pink. I am considering tossing in some green as I love those green orchids with the pink centers (green cymbidium, shown to the left in my chat avatar).

But I still have no idea ....

What color flowers should I use for the BM bouquets??? What about MY bouquet? I feel so lost!!! I favor the one color bouquet mainly but am open to all options.

HELP!!

i LOVE the BOK in your avatar with the color of dress pictured, i think that woud go beautifully together. How bout doing your BOK in ivory flowers with a little bit of light pink in it? i think that would look nice.

Yeah, that bok does go nicely doesn't it? the only think is that it isn't one homogenous color. Plus I want my MOH to have a different bok than the other BMs ... any ideas how to modify it to have her have something different?

Re: What color flowers should I use for the BM and my bouquet????

you could always just make your MOH BOK bigger than the BM's .or have it wrapped in a different color fabric maybe (gold?) I would definately ask the florist for some ideas on how you could make your MOH BOK different but still have it 'go' with everything else. Maybe there is another flower they can add to you MOH BOK that would blend well with everything else.

what about white and green in the bok. Or some that are white and close to the pink you have

I also love this bouquet ... and think it's more lively ... but again, it's multiple colors ...

Honestly, the person who can best answer that question is your florist. I had no idea what I wanted for colors with my red BM dresses. My florist pulled out so many flowers and created a beautiful bouquet. If she had simply told me the colors and the flowers she would use, I wouldn't like it. When she showed me, it really just clicked. If you speak with a florist (and not the salespeople some wedding flowers places have in the showroom), they will be able to make you something in the styles they want, with flowers you'll love.

Yeah, you are right, I have an appointment in a few weeks for another consultation, I just want to have some ideas when I go in.

Gorgeous, however since my wedding is in September those flowers are not a possibility (without paying through the nose which I am already doing to have my florist do my wedding!) :(

Here is my dress for reference:

Do you like this for me or for BMs (it's more in line with my desire to have one color)?

Re: What color flowers should I use for the BM and my bouquet????

I think I got it!!! How about white cymbidium orchids with pink centers for me, green with pink centers for my MOH and the bouquet in my avatar for the BMs???? Does that go with my gold, green and deep rose theme???
