I recently ordered my flowers. I LOVE them, however, darling daddy expressed some surprise that the bouquet I am carrying is not white (it's actually a mix of fall colored roses). I'd never even considered white, but apparently it is, or was, tradition. I'm not going to change, but it kind of made me curious as to the stats regarding bridal bouquet color. What color is (or was, if you're hitched) your bouquet?
I think white is a traditional color, but most people do colorful bouquets now. Personally, I like the look of a bright bridal bouquet contrasted with white bridesmaid bouquets, but my florist talked me out of it. The colorful bouquets really pop against the white wedding dress, so I think what you're doing is perfect. My bouquet is going to be a mix of pink, purple, and white.
My bouquet will be green! And will look like this. I can't wait!
I was married in 1995 and mine was pink--lots of weddings we went to around that time had colored bouquets :)
I'm going with mostly white, not out of any tradition, but because all of our flowers will be mostly white...our wedding is in winter and our colors are sapphire blue, silver, and white.
I was going to do bright pink. But I have changed my mind, I love the traditional white rose bouquet. I am having 3 dozen open white roses for my bouquet and I love it, I think its so romantic
These are mine... pink and ivory to match my dress.
I'm so in love with them <3
I am actually thinking about doing a white rose and feather combo, either that or do something really different and do a feather and crystal bouquet. I like really different things, so I figure that doing something out of the ordinary.
Here is a picture:
My bouquet has all burgundy calla lilies, no greenery. Like this one:
And this one:
My boquet is mostly purple

I was originally intent on an ivory bouquet with wine accent flowers until I pondered that it would look washed out against my ivory dress, so I reversed it. Now my bouquet will stand out against my dress as it is mostly wine-colored flowers with ivory accents, and the bridesmaids are the opposite (wine-colored dresses with mostly-ivory bouquets with wine-colored accents).
@Littlest Birds - I decided the same thing, but I'm pretty dead set on having 1 color for all the bouquets - I like the monochromatic look.
So for me, I'll be having the wine/burgundy bouquet, while all the bridesmaids will have ivory flowers against their burgundy dresses.
Since your wedding is in October the fall colors will be beautiful. Initially I chose dark purple and yellow for my bouquet; however, since my wedding is in June, I felt that these colors didn't 'match' with the feel of early summer.... So, I changed my colors to white, green, and yellow. I think it is all a matter of how you feel about the colors you choose according to your wedding theme, the season, and other factors.
My bouquet will be bright fuschia roses, daisies and carnations. I gave my florist this picture as inspiration:
I've definitely seen lovely white bouquets, but that isn't what I'm having. Well, there will be white IN it, but there will also be a mix of orange and green.
I'm sticking with the traditional white. I like that my FI and will basically be in all white - his vest/tie, my dress, my bouquet, his boutonniere... I think it makes us stand out. And it doesn't hurt that my colors are royal blue and lime green w/ liberal splashes of white!
Mine will be a mix of red and white. I'm having red roses and some white lilies (not calla lilies - regular lilies) while my bridesmaids will have white lilies and white roses against their red dresses.
I plan on having ivories and blush pink tones in the bouquet. It will have roses, lisianthus, Star of Bethlehem, and wrapped in ribbon and floral jewellry.
This was my bouquet.. I loved the lime green! I needed an accent colour since our colours were only Brown and White.

Although my favorite flower is the white rose, my bouquet is a mix of green and pink orchids with a mix of pale and bright pink roses. Like many others I like the contrast against the bridal gown.

my bouquet will be made soley of bright yellow Gerber daisies. I'm trying to keep it pretty simple.
My bouquet and FI's bout will be yellow-orange bicolor roses. The bridesmaids bouquets will be white roses.

I'm making my flowers from satin & tulle, and here's what I've got so far (just stuck in a vase, I haven't actually made any official bouquets yet)! My bouquet will be a mix of pink (the color of the BM dresses) & white, green & white and yellow & white (BMs will have just g&w and y&w) but I think I might do a heavier concentration of pink ones for me than this photo.
I was going to have an all-white bouquet. All of our flowers will be white, and our wedding colors are mostly all-whites with small touches of navy blue (ribbons on ceremony arch, ribbon on bouquet, napkins, etc.), so I just thought I had to do a white bouquet. But then I fell in love with Vendela roses, which are a really pale pink/ivory that I think is really classy and will "pop" against my dress more than plan white. BMs and MOB/MOG will still have all white flowers.

Wow brides! You all have stunning taste! Love all the colors and I will never think about white flowers the same way again, they are awesome!
Mine will consist of magenta gerbera daisies, green cymbidiums, and magenta english roses. I definitely wanted something bright, summery and colorful.
Mine will be pale pink roses with white hydrangeas. So a mix of pink and white. See my avatar, it's an inspiration pic.
I chose orange in the poll, but actually it's going to be orange with small amounts of green (kermit mums) and deep purple (sweet pea) added in as accent colors.
This is my inspiration photo... :)
