Re: Which Bo-k do you think will look better...

I like them but I wouldn't try to match the blue but would use colors that enhance it a little more.

Re: Which Bo-k do you think will look better...

To be honest, it might be too much blue.

Re: Which Bo-k do you think will look better...

I like the second one better. I think the others are 'too' much blue (just my opinion). I like the idea of cream flowers with hydrangea or a different accent color

Re: Which Bo-k do you think will look better...

i would say the third one...i don't think you want to have too muc h blue if the dresses are teh same color...the third one seems to have alot of ivory/white flowers in it. I think that will go well!

Re: Which Bo-k do you think will look better...

I like the third one...just a little blue. It may look funny to have all blue flowers with blue dresses since they won't exactly match.

Re: Which Bo-k do you think will look better...

i do wedding flowers as a small side business and i wouldnt recommend blue roses. most of them are chemically sprayed blue and it just NEVER looks natural. some florists use stem dye so that the color wont run (it gets sucked up the stem instead) but its still never all that natural looking.

if you want a natural blue i highly recommend blue hydrangea maybe paired with cream roses and callas. hydrangea is the only naturally BLUE flower.

now as a bride im considering navy dresses for my BM's too. and now that you point it out i have had a hard time picturing the bouquets. i think any jewel tones would look ok so you dont have to be stuck with trying to use blue flowers when they wont ever naturally match.

good luck and def show us what you pick!

Re: Which Bo-k do you think will look better...

I think vendela roses (which are a cream color) would look beautiful with your bm dresses.

Re: Which Bo-k do you think will look better...

I like the second one best, but i must agree with the other girls that perhpas you should do something else instead of the blue roses. It looks a little too dark to me.

Re: Which Bo-k do you think will look better...

Out of your choices I would choose #2 but if it was me I would forget the blue all together and find a flower color that compliments the dress.

Re: Which Bo-k do you think will look better...

I am doing navy dresses for my BM's and I am using bright pink, pale pink and purplsh flowers for their Bo Ks

I think the blue bo ks are too much blue...you should do something that contrasts a little, the blue flowers could blend in wiht the dresses for pictures and then no one will be able to fully appreciate the flowers in pictures.

Re: Which Bo-k do you think will look better...

sorry but I don't like any of them either...I agree way too much blue to put with a navy dress! I think with a navy dress you can really add some nice color with the bok. I've seen girls in navy dresses with orange/rust callas or roses...you could do a bok of circus roses which are yellow with the red tips. You could do a mix of colors in the bok....yellows, reds, oranges. There's a lot you can do! But I def. would not try and match the bok with the dress color - I think you should brighten it up with some color!!!

Re: Which Bo-k do you think will look better...

absolutely love the 1st because it is different. the roses are such a gorgeous color. I like #3 as well. More subtle than the first.
