Colors again

[Caribou]

So my two color choices are cinnamon and periwinkle. I''m leaning more toward periwinkle...but the flowers got me. I don''t have an acutal picture but in you ladies opinion do these color look good together.

First pic...hopefully I do the rest too.

second, (not the yellow tulips, just the lavender)

third and final...



Now, they would be arranged like so. White, purple, then blue.

Here is an example of why I am not one of those people who is good with photoshop.

But the point was just to see if the colors looked good together, and I think they do! Go for it!

I really really like them together!

Albi, that''s awesome! Thank you.

I was watching E! last night and Dave Narravo was giving Carmen Electra a bouquet just like this and I thought it would go great with periwinkle.

I think it will look great also.

 

[selflove]

Pretty!

I actually think it is a tad too busy. I''d go with the hydrangea and the white tulips only, possible with some greens.

Those colors look great together.

I like the colors together but not the two types of flowers.

My sister stood up in a wedding a few years ago and the BM had periwinkle dresses. They had the same color scheme as you''re looking at except they had wildflowers for their bouquets. It was stunning! I wish I had a picture, but I don''t.

The wildflowers were not very expensive as far as flowers go. I also went to a wedding where the BM carried bouquets made with hydrangeas and sweet peas (which are like an off white color). Very pretty too.

If you''re really looking for "spring" flowers, I would go with either the hydrangeas or the tulips for the bouquets. If you do the hydrangeas for the bouquets you can put tulips on the tables for centerpieces (although that might be a lot more pricey).

Really? I look at the picture and I just think of spring. Actuallly the more I look at them the more I think I''m going to go for this color scheme and flowers.

For the centerpieces, this was my idea, one table have the white tulips, one table have the lavender tulips and one table have the Hyancthis (totally spelling that wrong) and so on. My table I will use my bouguet for.

The hyacinth and tulip combination is totally spring to me (they are spring bulb flowers afterall), and go great together. Think of a spring garden full of bulb flowers. So pretty.

Love the color scheme and your bouquet is going to smell so yummy! Are you sure your florist can get hyacinths? When I got married the 1st time I wanted them and were told they were not a "florist" flower and I couldn't have them. I got married in the spring so they would have been in season. They need a lot of water and are very delicate--therefore they don't travel well from growers. You might want to check before you get your heart set on them unless of course you are going to pick them out of your own yard.

i was a bm last year and the colors were similar, periwinkle and pink insted of lavendar. we wore periwinkle dresses and the bms carried bouquest of these blue flowers (can''t remeber the actual name) and each bm had a different pink flower in her bouquet, with the most vibrant pink being a pink roses for the MoH, and slowly fading to the palest pink for the last bm in the lineup. The bride carried the same blue flowers, with all of the pink flowers plus a pink peony in a gorgeous bouquet that was very wildflower-y. the "theme" for the wedding was texas wildflowers in the sping type deal. came together gorgeously!

Yikes! Looks like I''m outvoted!

I don''t like the two types of flowers together because I don''t like the two textures together, if that makes sense. The tulips are very velvety and the hyacinths have more of a lacey kind of feel to them. I am not explaining it very well, but I still think a bouquet with all tulips (in different colors) or all hyacinths with another small petal flower would look pretty.
