I am wearing a blush colored gown. The groom is wearing a black suit/ Bridesmaids are wearing black cocktail dresses (even though it is a Sunday afternoon wedding!) Second marriage for both – the grandchildren flower girls are wearing ivory. Any suggestions for bouquets. Wedding is in 5 weeks- February in the northeast. Help! Thanks

I would go for red, dark pink, and/or ivory colors!

My first thought would be white and ivory flowers for you and blush flowers for the bridesmaids. Or you could always mix some greens in as well.

I agree with kala way. I would keep it soft-bright or dark colors would seem a bit harsh with your blush and ivory colors.
Another interesting option would be to incorporate some succulents

Yes, you might be able to find some early peonies or ranunculus, or fuller roses could give you a similar look. The hydrangeas would be very expensive this time of year, but maybe certain types of lilies, baby’s breath, narcissus, cyclamen, helleborus, star of bethlehem…etc, could be worked together to give you a similar look. Ask a florist what’s available and bring a few inspiration pics and see what they can do for a reasonable price.
