    Hi All!

     

    I am getting married in 30 days and I have to finalize my bouquets in the next week! Oh dear! I am having some panic anxiety over it, even though I know it will turn out beautiful regardless :) 

    I am going to post some pics and was hoping to get some opinions. My wedding is fairytale themed, my dress is a fit and flare lace style and white, my bridesmaids dresses are Magenta with a Black band around the middle. 

    Just wondering if I should have hot pink in my bouquet? What color bouquet the bridesmaids should carry? Does the groomsmen boutonniere have to match the bridesmaid dresses or their bouquets? Sorry for all the questions.. I just need help from some past and future brides! 

     

    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!

    Here are the bouquets I love!

    nothing needs to match. Go for textures so that the flowers "pop" on the photos -regardless of color, texture can be added by using feathers, nuts, or berries. Pink and white aren't generally the most daring so if you are looking to not be as conservative - try adding in some hot pink and/or textures. :)

    @Tilley:

    To answer a couple questions I think the color scheme should flow throughout the entire party and accent flowers throughout the venue. So any boutonnieres or bridesmaids bouquets should really be related to your color scheme of dress, flowers and venue.

    Orchids look lovely on men with a hint of greenery attached. One orchid should do, but the groom could have two orchids and the groomsmen have one.

     As for your bridal bouquet you can jazz it up however you wish. If you like whimsicle then add feathers or rhinestones to the bouquet (local craft store) Or add ribbon. If you did bouquet 1 (all orchids you attached) adding magenta ribbon that is partly see through would really be pretty.The bouquet 2 you attached is already enough. The bouquet 3 is enough too, cause of the feathers. Something to think about is allergies and fragrance. Ask your florist if having to many say roses for example could be to heavy all together, and to strong a fragrance.

    As for the bridesmaids bouquets, some brides alternate colors to create dimension. So if your bouquet is mainly white, add a smidge of magenta. It's a strong dominant color so dont over do it. Especially if you have pink undertones in your skin (you may appear more red, or flush if you add to much). You can switch colors in your bouquet vs the bridesmaids. Example, your bouquet is mainly white orchids with magenta roses, so then the bridesmaids bouquets would be opposite colors. If you did #3 it gives you more options b/c you can have the bridesmaids with just magenta roses, and no orchids=saves you money. Using#2 the magenta and white roses in your bouquet, i'd have the bridesmaid having strictly magenta roses (unless the dresses are magenta then use white). Attached are examples of color switching, bouquets and bouts Need an opinion on Bouquets! :  wedding flower bouquet pink help bridesmaids Magenta Ideasboutonnieres Good Luck! Hope any of that made sense and relieves some uncertainty ;D just have fun with it!

    I love the first bouquet you posted. Very soft and lovely. It's feminine with soft touches of your bright pink. I think that one would be great for you.

    Since your bridesmaids already have a lot of color going on in their dresses you could go with all white bouquets for them. I love the Stephanotis in the 2nd bouquet you posted!

    You could do white bouquets with a colored ribbon.
