    Hi Bees!

     

    We are getting married June 21, 2014 and I originally wanted a navy and apple/lime green wedding.  Looking at pictures of flowers I came across some photos of navy dresses with lime green and hot pink flowers...What do you think??  Should I stick with the all green/white or the green/hot pink?  Also open to other suggestions as well :)

    Here are some examples!

    This was the original bouquet that I loved:

    But I also thought these would look awesome with hot pink roses instead of orange:

    Thanks in advance ladies :)

    Personally I like the green and hot pink...great for summer. I especially love the photo of the solo BM with the hot pink flowers. Either would work...it's really up to you. You could even do both like the original white/cream and green for you and then green and hot pink for the girls. You don't have to match!

    I like the green and hot pink...though I may be biased because my girls had navy dresses and hot pink flowers =)

    I like navy/green/white better than navy/green/hot pink. It's more pleasig to my eye, and it lets me focus on the green and navy, without the distraction of hot pink in there.

    Well, wjat are your wedding colours? Or is this part of the decision as well. If pink is not to be found anywhere else but the flowers, I vote to keep it out, if you want to also incporporate pink else where I vote to include it.

    @T12ubeauty:  I thought about that!! But the bouquets with the orange flowers, the bridal bouquet was the same but it had white mini calla lilies and looked really neat!

     @lauraminn:  That sounds so pretty! Do you have a picture of the colors together?

    @Wonderstruck:  Picture please! :)

    @stillme:  That's kinda what I thought at first, but then I felt like it was missing something.  I want to use limes in my centerpieces and felt like adding the pink was more fun.  I don't know, I can't make a decision ever lol

     @stargurl101:  Well my bridesmaids dresses are going to be navy blue. I wanted to use either lime green and silver or lime green and hot pink as accent colors. So if I do use hot pink, it will only be in the flowers, but it will be used in centerpieces as well so it will be incorporated into the whole room.

    I think it really depends on the style or theme you're looking to achieve.  I love the last picture you attached, but that's just my taste.  Navy is so classic and elegant.  Good luck!

    @shamrock1228:  Sure! It's missing the green, although one of the sample boquuets had green bulbs mixed in too that looked very cool, I'll throw in a pic of that too. I know the dresses look a bit lighter in the pics but they were definitely navy, somehow between the lighting and photoshopping people sometimes think they weren't navy.

    I personally hate the color pink, but for your other colors I think it'll work well. As long as the green is a soft color, it should balance out the brightness of the pink.

    @shamrock1228:  Something very similar to this... changing out a couple of the flowers but the same color scheme.

    I would go with green and white because that way if you have a colorful bouquet it will make yours stand out more and won't look like just a bigger version of theirs. Originally I was going to go with navy dresses and either a bunch of baby's breath or light colored hydrangeas.

    @fzesguer:  I thought about that, but I think if I do the pink, I would do green/pink for the girls and then do green/pink with white calla lilies for my bouquet so they would "match" but mine would still be different :)

    I think it depends on what kind of feel you are going for, and what is going to work best with your venue.  I personally love the navy, white and green - it's elegant, classy and will be beautiful in early summer.
