Flowers for the bridemaids?

This is the style of the dress (not the exact one) http://davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_deta...



In canary yellow, cornflower blue, and rose petal--- 3 different colors for the three bridemaids.



I was originally going to have pastel bouquets (b/c of the great suggestion from Darlene mouse)-- like the ones in this link http://www.wedideas.com/RoundPastels.htm



but my bridesmaid want the flowers to stand out more with brighter shades like hot pink, electric blue, and a bright yellow. Kind of like this picture but hot pink gerbera daisies, blue hydrangeas/or some other flower-- and yellow roses/or tigerlillies.

I'm not sure if it would look good-- but i want them to decide- would it look bad--

Also if you have pictures of bouquets with the bright colors that would really help.--- Doesn't have to be those specific flowers-- I just want to see how
Flowers for the bridemaids?
i think the first picture of the bouquet is nicer than the brighter. I think the best bet is to just have one of the colours stand out in the bouquet



what about something like these pics, only with some yellow flowers and more cream flowers than pink and blue?

another idea is to have each bridesmaid hold a bouquet with all colours almost exatlcy the same colour as their dress only just one shade off, (it works) like these pics

Alternatively they could swap bouquets?

Reply:i think that if you were to do brighter flowers, it would be too busy, but if you were to do one uniform color, one that would go with all the dresses, it would look ok. i'm all for bright colors, but you also don't want it to look like it's all been thrown together. maybe one color of a bright flower, and then the same color of another flower in a more pastel shade. if you did that, like having yellow flowers for the girl with the yellow dress, etc., and then use a bright ribbo in the same color, it would look good. that way it'd still be bright and cheery, but not all over the place.
Reply:I agree with your BMs. Although pastels would look nice, I think brighter flower colors would work better at complimenting the dresses. By using colors that are brighter in your bouquets, you will actually make your dress colors pop more and the bouquet would be a great compliment to those colors.

i love this bouquet for a BM, and it is the perfect size too...



i agree with some other answers that mention a multi colored bouquet may be too busy....and that includes a multi color pastel bouquet. i really feel the link i provided is something that you can pull off. but, if you are afraid of all the colors being overwhelming, then i would go with a white tulip or a white lily.http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.asp...

Reply:I love the colors in the second link! If in doubt, visit a local florist. Take color swatches of the fabric if possible. I think the hot pink gerbera daisies with some blue, maybe a little white or yellow, would be good.
Reply:Don't listen to your bridemaid, I did that and didn't get champagne colored dresses but sort of happy??



So do what you want to do.
Reply:I like the first link of the flowers, I think it would go better
Reply:i liked the first flowers ..
Reply:I love the idea of three different colors for bridesmaids. Very cool, very chic and very original. Kudos!



For the flowers, I would actually try to refrain from using too many bright colors. I think the different colored dresses already make a great statement, but adding a multi-colored bouquet into the picture might look a little too chaotic, you know?



I LOVE gerber daisies. If I were having a spring wedding, that would be my flower of choice. I would stick to a very neutral color for the bridesmaids bouquets such as cream or light link.



This color is more pale yellow rather than cream, but could be used:

Having the girls hold simple white daisies with the yellow center would be very pretty as well:

Reply:Have you visited a florist's shop? That's what I did for my wedding. I went to one that was highly recommended to me. I gave the florist my wedding colors and a budget. She showed me books, magazines, and asked what things I wanted. She did a beautiful job. If you haven't done that, you should. It doesn't take long. It doesn't cost anything until you sign the contract. If you go to someone that knows what they are doing you might be surprised at what they can offer.

I love the bouquet she did for me. It was so beautiful and perfect.
Reply:First of all, I love the idea of having the three different colors! (My bridesmaids wore printed dresses, and we had four colors to 'play' with.)

If you go with the pastels, it may end up looking like a baby shower...

I agree with your women, going with stronger hues

of flowers is the way to go -

You need to talk with your florist to see what flowers are available in which colors - and at what time of year your wedding is.

Reply:I think that having the flowers stand out would look good. But I don't know if I would make all the flowers in the bouquet that bright color. Maybe what you could do a bouquet with hot pink, medium pink and light pink; then do the same for the rest of the flowers. The varying shades would look lovely together.

You could use the pink gerbera daisies. They come in hot, medium and light pink. Maybe something like this:

For the blue bouquet it may be a little harder, but you could use some deep blue orchids and some blue hydrangeas:

Then for the yellow you could use the gerbera daisies, or you could do another flower:

You can also take some fabric samples to the florist and they will be able to match up the flower colors perfectly. Also, you might want to think about how you want to do your bouquet because you don't want your bouquet to clash with the bridesmaids bouquets.
