should I get? I have been thinking about flowers since September and I still can't decide what to choose. I'm wearing a diamond white dress with a pink sash and the girls are wearing lime green (a decently BRIGHT) lime green. Our colors are mostly pink and green although we've added blue, brown and olive to the invite and added yellow and maybe coral to the reception flowers (minus the brown and blue). Sometimes I think I want the girls to have green and pink flowers while I carry a creme and pink bouquet. Then I think that I want to have a monochromatic bo-k with all pink flowers and have each bridesmaid carry a bo-k in a different color. I keep going back and forth on what I want to I thought I would come here for some advice. The only definite I have is that the bo-k not be completely round- I love the look of loose bo-k's with different heights
Can you ladies help me by posting some pictures, or just offering suggestions. I would be so completely grateful!!!
pink/green bo-ks or monochromatic bo-ks?

Re: What type of Bo-K...
PEONIES!
love them.... beautiful, and are in white and all shades of pink....
Have you spoken to your florist, mine was very helpful with ideas and I could't be happier with what my final decisions are. BTW I used MnF in Islip. Maggie and Barbara were great!

Re: What type of Bo-K...
I would go with pink and white peonies and maybe some green hydrangea.

Re: What type of Bo-K...
peonies are really pretty...
hydrangeas come in a variety of colors-- a lot of the colors that you mentioned (pinks and greens) they are big and beautiful...
and orchids also come in quite a few of the colors that you mentioned and they are gorgeous.
HTH!

I was advised by my florist to ditch the ranunculus.... they are apparently really delicate, and may not survive the day...... you can use mini roses instead....

Re: What type of Bo-K...
THe pink bok does have rununculus in it
My girls will be carrying pink peonies and pink rununculus and I will be carrying white peonies and white rununculus....kinda like this
lime green?! i love it! green is my absolute favorite color, so i just wanted to compliment you on your excellent color choice.
for my bo-k i'm going with mainly green, maybe a few touches of pink/brown (like the green orchids that have green around the edges) but in a variety of flowers. for the bridemaids i'm still undecided, but i'm thinking monochromatic (either in green or pink) in all the same flower. then again i just started looking so i'll probably change my mind soon. =0P
i liked a lot of the bo-ks on this site. i have many more pics, but they're spread between a few different computers and i think posting them all may be a little obnoxious. =0P j/k hth!

Pega Lega those bo-k's are awesome...so pretty
betani... I love green too, thanks for the compliment. I love pink and green and I love pink and brown. We're adding brown with our invite envelopes and some ribbons here and there. Thanks for the link too. It's proving to be very helpful.
