    Hey everyone..
    been trying decide on colours schemes for the bridesmaids and flowers for the big day! First i was thinking grape (purple) but then i found it was so differcult to find flowers that dont clash and think maybe burgundy would probably be better.
    What colour schemes have you ladies you decided on?

    i'm having dusky purple as my main colour for BM's etc, then everything else like the flowers and are going to be different colours, lilac, pink, peach etc so they don't match but they do go together. i don't like it when things are too matchy if that makes sense! x

    We are having purple and I have found loads of flowers that won't clash but will complement it. Do a google search for purple summer flowers and loads will come up!!

    No probs - I was like you and had decided that I wanted purple, then had a sort of mad panic that we couldnt get flowers to match so just went on google!

    Iris and delphinium are my fave so far, and hopefully I will get some lavender for the centrepieces. But am thinking that blue flowers somewhere will also look fab x

    Thanks i found it on google images so going to show the florist. They are the only proper blue flowers we've come across apart from blue roses but the florist advised us against them x
