Dress and boquet: what do you think?

[zoebartlett]

Here''s what I keep picturing for my bouquet: white or ivory roses with pearled stehanotis. I tried to put pics of it next to my dress so you can see them all together. What do you think? I have no idea how the picture will come out. I did a really rough job in "paint" on my computer.

Oops...I typed "bouquet" wrong in the title and the picture is HUGE. Sorry about that!

Beautiful, and classic! If you get a handtied bouquet, you could try to find champagne ribbon to match the trim on your dress.

I think that will look awesome together! I love the look of pearled steph...however you spell it

.

Gorgeous! I agree about ribbon to match the ribbon in your dress. Also, maybe you could find a rose with similarly colored undertones in it? Maybe if you take a swatch of the ribbon with you to the florist he/she could suggest a particular variety that would really make the detail on your dress pop.

Okay, I''m going to attach a collage (my first!) that I just spent the past hour working on. I apologize ahead of time if it comes out really big....

...well, it''s apparently too big so I''ll e-mail it to Andrey to see if it can be uploaded on PS'' end.

Here it is and it is a very nice collage.

I love the two pics on the left with the pinks in! I am a sucker for pretty colours!!

Lovely... and that bouquet on the bottom left is gorgeous.

I love the rose bouquet- classic.

I would like to throw out something for you to think about that my florist brought to my attention-
I have a lace dress also and was going to go with champagne roses.
My florist got to picture an all red rose bouquet and it really popped, without taking away from the lace on the dress (reason i wanted a one-type of flower bouquet)

Just a suggestion- you may want to add a bit of color so that the flowers don''t get "lost" against the dress.

The collage of some pinks/red flowers are beautiful.

Ivory roses maybe with a bit of pink for contrast? Or a one color bouquet of bright blooms for even more contrast?

Don''t listen to me -- I can''t make a decision of my own regarding bouquets and arrangements!

i like the bouquet on the bottom left of the one ps posted. it matches the tones in your dress better than the bouquet you posted, but the one you posted is beautiful.

Thanks everyone. I seem to be drawn to roses with stephanotis (pearled I think). I LOVE the one on the bottom left also. I found all of the others after I posted what I thought I was leaning toward in my original picture. I''m not really a fan of pink but those are just so pretty.

Labbie, I was afraid of using more than one color since my dress seems "busy" with all that lace. Using one color might be a better option (although I do love the one everyone else voted for). Hmmm, I need to think about that. Also, I think you may be right about using a bolder color than white, ivory, or maybe even light pink. I don''t want it to look washed out against my dress. So..red roses and no stephanotis? For some reason, I''m not a huge fan of darker color roses with stephanotis. I''m not sure why. I was hesitating to use red because my venue has a ton of burgandy all over the place and I didn''t want it to be too much. I''ll think about it though. Thanks for the tips!

Here's what I'm doing -- except I'm doing rhinestones rather than pearls--this may help you, I like the separation in the bouquet of the roses from the stephanatois (ivory roses with the white steph's for contrast)

 

[zoebartlett]

That''s beautiful Sweetpea! I love how the flowers are separated yet compliment each other nicely.
