    I'm a little bit confused about wedding flowers.

    Does your bouquet have to match your colour scheme and theme? My colour's are midnight blue and pink so should my bouquet be those colours? Or can I have completely different colours and pink, like purple and pink mix?

    I've found a bouquet I really like but I can't picture it in just pink.

    So you can have colours in your bouquet that you aren't actually using anywhere else? x

    You can have what you want so stop worrying and go with what you like. I think the pic you have put up would work very well.

    I'm not worried, I just wanted some advice as I wasn't sure if it's the norm to have totally different colours in your bouquet to your actual colour scheme.

    I've seen this a few times. I liked that someone had baby blue BM dresses and such, and had baby pink flowers with diamonds in. Works nicely!x

    Well I was thinking of having that exact bouquet but instead of the lilac flowers having pink and then having some navy blue baby's breath added and some diamonds.

    My bridesmaid will have exactly the same colours but in a small posie

    Purple navy and pink go doesn't it?

    Can you ask the maker if shes done it in pink and if she has a picture??

    Or would she be able to make a mock up to show you before you buy

    We're not having a theme as such; we're not decorating the venue (apart from flowers on the tables) as it's very decorative already, and my BMs are all in diff colours; they only things that will match will be the bouquets, and if I have a colour in them, we might match my OHs tie to it. I might have different flowers on the tables to the ones in the bouquets, but I'm undecided yet, and if I do, I'd like them to complement each other and not clash too much, but that's personal choice :-)

    Had an email back from her. She's never made it in pink shades and she wouldn't be able to as a lot of the flowers she's used to give it that shape are only available in purple.

    SO, the other option is this one..

    Love that......maybe you can get some blue ribbon round the handle instead???

    Or can you have white and purple
    Then the bm's can have all white maybe???

    i think it will compliment the bridesmaids dresses beautifully whichever way you go!

    I actually have a florist booked but I found this woman who do these bouquets and I love them and they aren't badly priced so was thinking of just ordering them online but maybe I should just nick the picture and get my florist to make it, then I have more say in how it will look

    My flowers match my colours, but I don't think it has too - my colour theme is based around Iris's so I can't really not match!! Both the bouquets look lovely though xx

    I'm wondering if it would be safer and maybe a lot nicer to just have white flowers for me and the bridesmaids but have the handle wrapped in pink and navy and maybe pink diamonds in the roses.

    Bridesmaids all in midnight blue, white flowers, pink shoes.
    And then white flowers on the tables, chairs with navy sashes and navy table runner but everything else on the table in pink

    Ohh that sounds nice.

    OK, I think white flowers. lol

    I think you have what you want. I went to the florist armed with a photo of my dress and bits and bobs I have already bought. They said I have a pretty "vintage" theme (was news to me). I then showed them photos of bouquets I liked and they said I have picked all pretty vintage themed flowers too! so it all matches.

    just go with your gut girl, and you wont go wrong

    oh, and remember if you are having a white dress, a white or ivory only bouquet can get a bit lost in the photos.

    whatever feels right for you - i went with my favourite flowers as opposed to what was my colour scheme. I am just a pink girly girl cuz my fave flowers happen to be pink stargazer lilies and roses which i am having in ivory to go with my ivory and pink theme! x

    Have what you like! My main colour is sky blue but obviously can't get real gerberas to match that so we're having baby pink, yellow and white to compliment it instead! And I decided overnight that I'm going to have fuscia pink in my bouquet to make it different from the bridesmaids because thats what I want, I'm not bothered if it doesnt match :o)
