What color flowers should I get for my bridal bouquet?

My bridesmaid's dresses are turquoise. I was thinking of getting colorful flowers (reds, blues, purples) for myself and whites and pastels for them to create a contrast. But I'm afraid that if my bouquet is too colorful it will take away too much attention from my beautiful white gown. Anyone have experience with that? Thanks

What color flowers should I get for my bridal bouquet?
I would stick with a little more muted colors for your bouquet because I think you're right about it taking attention away from your gown. Maybe you could have more exotic looking flowers and the bridesmaids could have just plain bouquets. Or you could have a variety of pastel colored flowers and your bridesmaids could have just white bouquets, or white with one other color instead of all the colors. In the end though, it's your wedding, and you should do whatever makes you happiest! People will notice your gown no matter what your bouquet looks like!


Hope that helps!
Reply:I think what you are doing sounds fine. I think the colorful bouquet will draw attention to yourself, and therefore the dress. Plus, people will see the dress afterwards as well. I am doing colorful gerbera daisies and sunflowers.
Reply:for the flowers.. i say go with your favorites..





not just base it on colour..
Reply:No offense, but everyone has seen every version of a white wedding gown and would likely appreciate something unique to enhance it. Just go with whatever you and your fiance likes...yes I said your fiance as its his wedding too.
Reply:I would do their in a color. make theirs smaller and you should have a big white one with pale pinks!
Reply:Have you thought about fans and having flowers arranged near the bottom -- not too many flowers to over power the fan.. but each of you have fans - the bridemades in their respective frock colourings just one carnation and fern.. and you could have a wee bit of gold in yours. Such as white and pick carnations with a gold ribbon just a thought





No they are not old fashioned either... even umbrella's something different
Reply:I had a large, colorful bridal bouquet and it was stunning! If you go that route, your bridesmaid's bouquets should be very monotone (especially if they're wearing turquoise). Style of your bouquet should be complementary to the setting of your wedding and overall tone (formal or casual, etc)
Reply:White and light green.
Reply:i suggest combination of pink, jasmine and rosy colors
Reply:Get peonies, they are only available one month out of the year, so take advantage of it. They are the most beautiful flower to have in a bouquet. Yet very pricey... And yes you are thinking of a way to colorful flower for yourself. Brides should have either white or pink or red. But those flowers don't come in red. Good luck
Reply:having some color in your bouquet can be beautiful and actually add to your dress and help break up all the white if your dress is very wide at the bottom (ball gown shape)





my bouquet had white and yellow star lilies with small white stephonitis flowers to fill it in, which was enough color to make the flowwers pop without overpowwering the dress. two-tone flowers like tulips or dafodils could do the same thing if they had white tips.
Reply:My bridesmaid dresses are pool and my girls are carrying peach gerbera daisies and I am carrying blush Calla lillies, they are an absolutely gorgeous combination.
Reply:I would do all the colors you want just add white flowers in them, you can do the colors in little bits each and it will be very pretty. Do alot of fill flowers in misc colors instead of the large flowers.
