Second guessing my bouquet..any opinions?

Syd A., on July 1, 2011 at 1:08 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 38

So I'm having a beach wedding, and the colors are black and white with red accents. To add a more beachy-theme, I decided on a red rose bouquet with calla lilies. Now that I have my red dress, I'm not sure if the red bouquet will clash with the dress. Any opinions?

**The BM's will wear black with calla lily bouquets.

    I would go with another color.......or just do white. In my opinion, it's too much red and will just blend in with the dress.

    So I should do all white calla lilies? Or put more calla lilies and only a few roses?

    Hhm, my opinion is use the roses as the accent flower so your bouquet would be mostly white with a few red accents. This way, it contrasts your dress in just the right way Smiley smile

    I would choose one of the options the others suggested. Too much red in the bouquet will make it blend in.

    I think it's too much red. Since the dresses are red I would go with another color. Maybe all creams

    I honestly wouldn't put any red in the bouquet.

    My wedding dress is red and Ivory, so I'm doing a more dark color calla lillies bouquet(actually it's black, wedding colors are black, red, ivory and white). I agree with the others, do a white or a different color, too much red might clash

    I would either go all white with a few red roses or all white calla lilies or all red roses/calla lilies (I'm pretty sure you can get calla lilies in red anyway)

    I like the all white ones! I think it will look much better with that dress.

    I think the all white cala lillies would stand out more against your dress but you may want to then change up the BM bouquets so they don't have the exact same bouquet as you. Add a little red to theirs maybe?

    LOVE the all white cala lillies in the first picture above. It will look really good against the bright red dress.

    If you use Callas, make sure you aren't outside in the heat too long because they will start to wilt. My all time favorite flowers are callas and I was dead set on them until 2 florists told me that it was a bad idea for a July wedding. If you are out in the heat for your reception, have a vase of water available for you to put them in!
