Colour dilemma

Melissa, on January 18, 2017 at 12:28 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 24
Hello. My wedding is in Sept. And we decided on our primary colours to be Rose gold (bridesmaid dresses, and groomsmen ties/pocket square) and Navy blue (tuxedos and backdrop). I'm having a problem deciding on bouquets. I dont really like the neutral white and blush bouquets for my bridesmaids. I really would like red flowers. But I'm not sure...my husband does not like the red flower idea. But he said if i really like it. To do it. But I wouldn't be incorporating the red anywhere else besides maybe the centrepeices. Is that weird?

    You can go pink as an alternative to red and navy blue on the alternate tables. Gives the room decor of both sides.

    That's great! I think you could really play with these colours! The blush with red flowers is trully beautiful. Smiley smile You should take a look at this discussion to see options for shape: What is your favourite shape of bouquet?
    Which of these bouquets do you prefer?

    Do you prefer posy or cascade bouquet? Smiley smile

    Hey Melissa! It's so nice to meet you! I love the colour of your bridesmaids dresses! Smiley love That's such a great idea! I love what all these lovely ladies suggested. Smiley heart If you don't want the whole bouquet to be red roses, you could have include only a few roses in the bouquet to match with the style of your bridal party and centerpieces. Maybe something like this?

    This is mostly for colour suggestion but the red roses I think would look beautiful with blush and white. Smiley smile How do you like the idea?

    Would you consider changing the colour of the bridesmaids dresses to champagne instead of rose gold? I think you have way more possibilities to go with a bold colour. And it would go great with Navy!

    Hi Melissa! Congratulations! Rose gold is a very hard color to match with different colors I think! Unless you stay in that genre of colours and go I with light peaches or light pinks for example mixed with a bit of white. Alternatively you could do like a Dusty Rose type flower which is like a medium tone, but all in all I think it's a tough call to match other than going with white, cream mixed with lighter colors. I really love your idea of the Navy with rose gold dresses I think they're a great combination!

    That sounds pretty! Do you have an inspiration pic? Bridesmaids bouquets are generally similar to the bride's but on a smaller scale, like you said. Are you wanting them to be completely different than yours?

    Wow! Sam...thats absolutly stunning. My bouquet will be cascading white orchids with pink peonies and roses. For my bridesmaids I want something on the smaller side...but I'm not sold on the traditional red roses.

    Here are a few more ideas.... I personally love the blush/light purple flowers or the last one with the navy centers (I think they're poppies)

    I don't know much about flowers but if you do fake flowers, you can get whatever you want and not have to stick to what's in season! My flowers were paper and we did a mix of roses, peonies and hydrangeas. Here's a picture.

    You should check Pinterest to see if there's anything you like. Is there a particular style of bouquet that you like? Here are a couple more discussions for ideas.

    Hi Melissa! Welcome! I think red would go really well with the rose gold dresses and be perfect for September! Emilie posted this discussion yesterday that had some beautiful red bouquets. https://community.weddingwire.ca/forums/7-wedding-bouquets-in-red--t2185 What type of flowers do you like? Are you planning on doing real flowers or fake flowers? Look forward to hearing more about your wedding!
