White bridal bouquet?

Joanna G, on December 31, 2012 at 11:51 AM Posted in Planning 0 23

Hey gals,

I've met with our first florist and thought I wanted a colorful bouquet (purple, greens and orange) but I hear some brides do all white roses ( that is beautiful) and do colorful ones for their bridesmaids. What are you all doing ?

    Color. I'm pale, my dress was pale, and flowers were the only thing that had any color whatsoever.

    I'm doing white hydrangeas, light orange roses and light blue delphinium in my bouquet. My BMs will have light blue hydrangeas and light orange roses. I thought I wanted a monochromatic bouquet in orange, but when my florist showed me her vision, I fell in love.

    Go with your gut and heart on this one.

    I'm doing colorful, I love the fall colors, and I love how it pops off the dress.

    Go with what ever you want and will love!

    The bridesmaids are wearing black, and their bouquets are going to be a mix of hot pink & light pink roses. My bouquet is going to be a mix of hot pink & light pink roses as well as some white roses intermixed. Since my colors are black & white I figured I needed to throw some color in somewhere Smiley smile

    I personally did not do white for my bouquet because 1. it wouldnt stand out against my dress 2. my dress was white and white flowers are typically more of an ivory color. instead I did a color bouquet for myself and white hydrangeas for my bridesmaids.

    My bouquet is all ivory and creams, roses and lilies with a single yellow rose at the top and in the back where no one but me can see it as I'm getting married on what would of been my Mom's birthday and the yellow rose was her favorite so it's there to represent her, my BM bouquets are colorful of deep red roses and stargazer lilies....

    My BMs are wearing different dresses, so I'm having them carry all white bouquets. I will carry white and blue intermixed

    I'm doing all white centerpieces, but for the bridal party we are doing color. My girls will have a mixed bouquet and I will have a bouquet of 1 color picking from their bouquets to make sure they all flow well together.

    I chose white with a few pops of color and it did stand out against my dress. Here are a couple pics so you can judge how white looks next to a white wedding dress.

    I'm wanting a soft, understated look overall.. my flowers will match my girls' flowers (except my bouquet will be larger) and they will be white peonies and green hydrangeas!

    Mine will have

    Color. I love all the pretty flowers and colors together, there's not a whole lot of pretty white ones other than they typical roses, Lillie's etc. I definitely want a pop of

    Color!

    If anything, I think it should be opposite and bridesmaids (if wearing a color other than white) have white bouquets while the bride gets the colorful bouquet.

    I had white Bouquets for me and My girls. They look great with my girls and their dresses but wish I'd had more color for me.

    I think it's all in what you envision. I've never seen an ugly bridal bouquet (white, colors, etc). They're all very pretty.
