Here are the flowers we are using for the BM's. It'll be Mango Callas, Brown Roses, Circus Roses (orange & burgundy ones) and Fall Berries. Would you add anything to them? My girls dresses are champagne with chocolate brown sashes -- so Marcella said it shouldn't be anything light in color -- cause I was thinking maybe an ivory rose but she said it would get washed out. Any ideas?
this is how I am having the stems wrapped in chocolate satin with pearls
and my bo-k without the roses

Honestly, I agree- I wouldn't add any light colored flowers. I love the deep colors that she used. And I love your boq!! Gorgeous!

i would add maybe some berries and greenery around the edge to make it a little fuller

It'll definitely be fuller we just put the flowers together to get an idea of the look -- just not sure if we should add another type of flower into the mix we already have. what do you think?

I was thinking maybe some berries and fall leaves... kind of like your centerpieces. They are beautiful though.

Greens. Maybe even just some spiky grasses rather than large leaves, since you have very bold flowers.

I like it, but it is missing something. Maybe green hydrangea for fullness, some white wax flower for just a hint of white and as filler.
I plan on something similar for my bo-k. Circus roses are my favorite.

I like the idea of the green hydrangea -- the smaller underdeveloped kind?
what are wax flowers?

Hmmnn, wax flowers are used as filler, sort of like baby's breath. It is a small defined flower cluster, comes in white, pinks and purple with a darker green stem. I'll try to find a picture and post it. I like the green hydrangea, gives a nice contrast to the oranges and deep reds. There was a green hydrangea in the pic you posted where you asked about the red/brown flower in the middle of the bo-k, the dahlia.
I am so bad at posting pics, but here is a link to some pics.
I love the ribbon wrap! Gorgeous...definalty think they should be fuller but I dont think adding a cream color to it would wash it out. Can they make a mock up of it with cream roses so you can see it just to get an idea? I think that would look really nice!

Hypericum berries come in orange, red and green. Snow berries are white.

I think it looks lovely! I love the rich colors, and I think she's absolutely right that anything light will look washed out against light colored dresses. I wouldn't add anything to it, especially not anything light colored.
To those who think it should be fuller... this is just a guess, but I'm pretty sure that's just the florist holding the flowers together so that you get the effect, not meaning it to actually look as full or put together as the actual bouquet will be, so I wouldn't worry about that. My florist did the same thing - it should definitely be fuller and cleaner looking when it's actually put together for the bouquet.
