Colorful Bouquets

June 25th, 2009 @ 5:49 pm by Mrs. Beagle

I love the way bright bouquets stand out against white bridal dresses:

Here’s a peek at the bouquet I’m working on for myself:

Will you be carrying a colorful bouquet or are you sticking to traditional white and ivory flowers?

My dress was bright white, and I carried a mix of creams, ivory, and blush. My girls wore navy and carried white and blush flowers. I guess we were pretty traditional, but I do love the look of bright flowers - can’t wait to see what you’re working on!

No teasing! Can’t wait to see the completed project!

I’m considering going colorful in my bouquet now with the new color I added. Stay tuned!

Here is a link so you can see my colorful wedding. It was mostly purple with some blues and bright pinks.

I went with bright blues & greens mixed into white…and LOVED it. I almost changed it at the last minute and I’m so glad now I didn’t!

I’m definitely planning to have some color contrast! I love it. They look so good in photos. We’ll have orange mango callas against my white dress and the bridesmaids’ blue dresses.

Hooray for your fabric flower bouquet! I’m doing fabric flowers–felt and buttons, though. And yes, it’ll be a nice pop of color–pink.

Best Wishes!

Thanks for posting that first picture. I scrolled down and literally screamed “Those are my bridesmaid dresses!!”. Yeah. Even though there was no one home. Yay me.

I like the pop of color! Your colors are beautiful! I don’t think I’ve seen that combo before.

I never even considered carrying a white bouquet…..we went with dark purples and dark blues, and they were more beautiful than I could have ever envisioned. The color really popped in the pictures! I can’t wait to see your DIY bouquet - it’s going to be amazing.

I keep changing my mind -
First I was all for color….and then Iwas thinking white…..and now maybe I’m back to color?

Bright yellow bouquets for all! I love the textures of white bouquets, but I love the pop of colorful flowers even more. So we chose yellow flowers (making ‘em from crepe paper). Very excited to see your full bouquet!

I’m carrying a dark purple and burgundy bouquet, and the girls will have pale pink. That first photo actually features my bridesmaid dresses, so I think the pale pink will be a nice contrast against the dress.

It never crossed my mind to have white flowers for my wedding. I always knew I wanted a colorful bouquet.

I’m carrying a dark purple lisianthus bouquet and my girls will have the traditional white/ivory because their dresses are dark purple and don’t want their colors to disappear.

I love bright flowers, and how they pop against a lovely white or ivory dress. Can’t WAIT to see your fabric bouquets, too.

color all the way!! I love how white looks, but I’m so a color person. I can’t stand having white walls in my house, it kills me to live in the whiteness that is my FFIL’s house

i am carrying a big red silk ball (like the traditional chinese type) instead of a bouquet. it came up as a totally random idea because i was clowning around with one, but the effect of the bold red against the stark white of my dress was absolutely breath-taking!

I carried a mostly bright blue bouquet and had my girls carry all white ones, I loved the contrast!
