Color of flowers?

Question

I have no idea what color I want my bridesmaids' flowers to be in my wedding. I believe their dresses are going to be a dark red (called apple at David's Bridal). What color flowers would go with this????

Answer 1

My sister used the color combo - she did white roses for the maid of honor instead of for "just the bride" and hers were done in the most beautiful "black red" colored roses from a florest with no white - the contrast was fantastic - the bridesmaids carried matte black lanters with tiny red rose accents at the corners of the handle. The lanterns were lit with tiny white rice lights (battery powered)
It was very elegant

Answer 2

When is the wedding? You have to look at what time of the year this event is planned for, because it's hard to find some flowers without spending a lot of money during certain times of the year. I think, white with green, or maybe white roses tipped to match the brides maids dresses. Any fresh cut bouquet would be acceptable as well. It all depends on the season in which your wedding will take place, and what flowers are available at that time as well. If you are going with dark red bridesmaids dresses, then I would guess your wedding is being planned for the fall or winter. Green ivy mixed with flowers would be pretty also.

I think that it totally depends on the look that you're going for - but you could almost do any color.
White - simple, traditional. White flowers go with almost anything.
Red - romantic (could be a little matchy-matchy though)
Orange - fiery, spicey. Would probably work best with a fall wedding.
Yellow - bright and sunny. Yellow tends to look really great with red.
Blue - depending on the shade it could look really nice.
Purple/lavendar - purple and red together look really luxurious and regal.
multi-colored - you could just get really colorful bouquets that had a punch of red in them.

It might be a good idea to take a fabric swatch or a paint chip or whatever you use to match colors, and take it to a florist. Hold it up next to all the different flowers and even ask the florist what colors or flowers they think would look nice. That way you'll not only know what colors you want to use, but the specific flowers (keep in mind that if you don't do this around the same time of year as your wedding, those same flowers may not be available.)

I just got married on June 10th and used the David's Bridal Apple Color as well. It was beautiful. I had the dress that had the ivory and apple combination and did mine and my bridesmaids flowers in different combinations of ivory and red roses, I just made sure that for the girls' bouquets that there was more ivory than red, especially around the outter edges of the bouquets. Everything was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better day. If you want to see pictures you can check out our wedding website at: http://normandandjessica.weddingannouncer.com under the photo albums and wedding pics. We got so many compliments on the color combination too! Good luck and congratulations!

Answer 5

I would definately use dark red or a bright red-----go with some shade of red. White would be nice as well, and of course I am a huge fan of pink! Just make sure the flowers match the dresses as well as the theme of the wedding! Good Luck and Have Fun!

I just went to a wedding and the bride had chosen a deep red for her bridesmaids. The rest of her wedding was done in black and white. It was gorgeous. The bridesmaids carried bouquets with white lilies and little tiny red roses. With the dark greenery..it was stunning.

Answer 7

If you are having the florest do it for you then they can show you what colors would go. My florist really helped me when I picked out my flowers and colors. Just have an idea of what kind of flower you want and a piece of the fabric from the dresses to match them to.

Good luck!

Answer 8

I agree that white or ivory would look really good with it. But it would really be up to you and what color you like. Personally though I wouldn't go with green because it would to much like Christmas than a wedding.

Answer 9

Since red is a dark color... why not just a white flower so it will hightlight the gown.
