    The 3rd one is amazing.

    It's different, romantic, and would look fabulous with your gorgeous wedding dress.  It's so beautiful I was compelled to use a ton of adjectives. =0)

    Go with the gut feeling though.  Good luck!!

    you need to choose the one that best fits you and your wedding.  Each of those bouquets would be appropriate for different events.

    The first one looks like a more formal wedding, maybe indoors

    The second one is kinda in the middle of the first two

    The third one looks like a garden wedding

    You also need to consider what flowers will be available to you.  I'm not sure you can get hydranges (in the third bouquet) in October without paying an arm and a leg.  Your florist should be able to help direct you according to the feel of your other flowers and what will be available.

    I really like the 1st one, but I don't think I am crazy about it with your dress.  I think I like the 3rd one with your dress.  It seems to compliment the dress's pattern... if that makes sense...

    @mcnetn3:  they wont be fresh; im using  the highest quality silk available to floral designers.  Im getting married on the beach in MX and I'm not leaving my flowers up to the resort-too risky to me.  I know something tropical would better fit the location, but I've already ruled out tropical a while ago as it just doesn't seem to fit the feel of my dress.  I still need something semi bright/colorful but yet soft/romantic for my dress.

    Keep the input coming girls!!  I need it :)

    in that case, I'd go with #1 since it has orchids in it, which are tropical.  I just always think of calla lilies as being a more 'formal' flower, if that makes sense.

    I love orchids though, especially green cymbidium ones.

    Now that I know you're getting married on the beach in Mexico (awesome), I change my vote. I agree with mcnetn3 that number 1 is best suited for that type of wedding.

    @lopezlulu & mcnetn3-is it just the orchids in #1 and that they are a tropical flower that made you change your mind to #1?  Bc I could always add the orchids to #3.  I think I do agree with what mcnetn3 said that #1 is more formal...

    I love the 1st one, it's beautiful! I like that it has varying shades of one colour which I think makes it simple and elegant and the variety of flower shapes in there make it look really pretty too.

    I voted before I saw #3, I like it the besty! They are all pretty though, and I don't think any will be a bad choice!

    Your dress is very flowy and romantic.  I don't see cala-lillys as that.  They are more structured and uniform in shape. 

    I love the hydrangeas and other mixtures you have posted here.  I like the idea of adding the touches of green in there as well.

    Is this bouquet just for you? Or are the bridesmaids carrying similar ones? If so, what color are the bridesmaid dresses. That could help me choose what I think would look best with your over all color scheme.

    @caszos:  I know what you mean about the shape of the calla's and I agree.  The hydrangeas and other flowers in #3 are ruffly (for lack of a better word) and softer, which to me equates to more romantic and not as rigid in shape as #1. 

    @charbirdie:  there are no bridesmaids, just the 2 of us, which leaves the colors wide open for me to choose what I want, which is why it is so hard.  It would be easier if I had to match my flowers to BM dresses or the sort...it's only 1 bouquet and 1 bout.  I cant imagine if I had to decide on centerpieces etc!!!!

    i think you need a new poll - what if people voted before seeing #3??? that bouquet is absolutely amazing, i love the colors and the shapes and the textures of the flowers.  like other bees have said, it suits the romantic-ness of your dress :)
