Bouquet help, pretty pelase?

[zoebartlett]

Hi fellow brides-to-be!

Thanks to AsscherGirl (thank you, thank you, thank you), I think I've found the bouquet that I want. I know AG's planning on using peonies instead of roses, but I love this bouquet as is. What do you think? Here's a collage of what we have so far. As I mentioned, we don't really have a set color scheme. So, after looking at these photos and the bouquet that is my current favorite, what would look good with my sister's dress? Here's the bouquet and I'll post the rest of what we have so far in a minute.
ETA: Obviously there's a typo in the title. Oops.

Here''s my dress (ivory lace overlay with champagne sash) and my sister''s dress in indigo:

Here''s what the men (my FI, best man, and my dad, who will be walking me down the aisle) will be wearing. In person, the ivory in the shirt, tie, and vest look better than they do online.

And just so you get an idea of what the venue looks like, here''s something I put together a while back. The wall to wall carpeting is burgandy and the chairs are plush, tufted burgandy (I think some have cream also in them). The last picture, the centerpiece, is just so you see what height we''re talking about. We want something low-set, probably in a square vase.

Do you like the colors of the flowers that make up the bouquet you posted, or just the actual flowers? Cause I think that coloring would look lovely with your sisters dress!

ETA: Oops, you were still posting pictures and I butted in! Hmm... I still think that the color of the bouquet as is would be smashing. I'm not sure how it'll look with the burgandy in the reception area, but it might work anyways. Keep in mind that people will be sitting in those chairs, so you don't HAVE to make it all look perfect together... of course, some people want to and thats fine too

Ok, ETA AGAIN, I reread your original post and I think I read it wrong... you like the bouquet as is, for you, and want to know what your BM bouquet could be? Am I getting it right now? Geez, I need a nap or something! lol. So I think I will add that just a smaller version of yours with maybe some of the flower types taken out would look great, add in an accent of blue maybe? And now I'm going to give up on it because I'm not reading things clearly and am just making a fool of myself

I love the bouquet. I would add LITTLE touches of blue to your bouquet to tie into her dress, nothing too noticable, just a detail (I have ideas for that at home if you want some) and I'd wrap it in a dark blue ribbon. And I'd do blue touches in the centerpieces with the greens and the warm ivory champagnes you've got going on in the bouquet. If I remember correctly your invites have blue on them too so it would work. It's going to be lovely Zoe. I'd do blue groomsman and dad bout, and your FI should match your bouquet for his bout.

I want THAT bouquet, exactly as is. I keep staring at it --I LOVE it. Oh, hang on, AsscherGirl posted a picture in a her "update" that might work for my sister''s bouquet. Both pics, I should mention, are courtesy of the Knot.

Oh, now I feel kinda bad that I''m using AG''s ideas for my own.

 

[zoebartlett]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful replies, Partyjewels and Gypsy! And sure Gypsy, I'll take whatever help you could provide. You're a saint! I know you're helping Mimzy and I don't want to overwhelm you, especially because I know you have your OWN planning to do. I really appreciate the help ladies!!

Tweedia are little blue flowers, that clustered like this as a LITTLE accent (like in this pic) could work for you.

Oh I like that! Thanks for the link! I''ll have to browse more through the Knot and Your Wedding Company later tonight to get additional ideas.
