    My dress (as you can see by the pic) has a flower on it already so I'm very torn as to what to do about my bouquet. I'm thinking maybe a few small ivory calla lillies but I don't want to really have my dress and flowers be all one color. Do you have any ideas for bouquets/flowers that would work with my dress and how to add a little color or if I should at all? Oh and the dress that I got is not that color in the picture...it's maybe two shades darker but lighter than ivory. Thanks ladies!

    Do you have any bridesmaids?  If so, what color are they wearing?  Mine are wearing 2 different purples so all of our bouquets are varying shades of purple, white and a really light pink.  Maybe you could do mostly whites/ivories and a touch of purple or pink?  Or whatever color your girls are wearing.  Obviously I'm totally biased but I think that's the prettiest way to go if you just want a touch of color.

    I am a fan of the contrasting bouquet for the bride.  My BM's will have white Fuji Mums and I will have a mixture of greens in my bouquet.  Check out my Bio for a picture.

    Let us know what your BM dress or accent colors are. 

    I love posts about flowers and would love to jump in and help.  On Style me Pretty yesterday there was a post of a wedding where the bride had the most beautiful soft peach bouquet and I thought this would be perfect for a bride wanting just a "wash" of color.  Anyhoo, you could pretty much do any bouquet you wanted.  I don't think your dress limits you in anyway!

    Thanks for the suggestions! Jennybirdy - I posted the bridesmaid dress pic and my colors are purple and green. The green is like an apple or lime green.
