So I have come to the point where planning for my wedding is no longer fun and it's becoming way too stressful (for those of you 4 months away from you wedding date I am sure you can relate). I have decided to venture out and get your opinions to hopefully help in me in some way because God knows I need it...lol.
For the life of me, I cannot decide what I want to do about my bridesmaids flowers. I am wearing ivory, my BM are wearing taupe with champagne sash (Bill Levkoff #966). I know 2 things for sure - I want the flowers to all be roses and I want white with baby pink roses. Now, for my girls, I just don't know :( I do know that I want their bouqets different than mine, but I also want them to compliment mine.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated =)

You have a few options.
- You can make smaller versions of your bouquet for each girl
- or you can do smaller and single color bouquets. For example: your flowers are white and pink, their's are all pink.
- Another option is to have the maid of honor hold one color and the bridesmaids hold bouquets made from the other color.
- Since your bouquet is white and pink roses, another option would be bouquets of pink roses with small white accents - this way, they are not the same as yours, but still have the same colors. The white accents could be baby's breath, stephaotis, pearls, ribbon, etc.

Honestly? Ten years from now you will not care if your BM wore taupe, stripes, or polka dots. What you will care about is the memory of the moment your eyes met your new husbands and he smiled at you. Or the moment a tear escaped your eye and he brushed it away with his finger. Or the moment that ...I think you get the point. All of the planning for what amounts to one big drunken dinner party in the end is silly. So much time wasted planning one day and too little time spent planning a life. Rethink your priorities and you will never regret it.

My bridesmaids are wearing that exact style from Bill Levkoff as well (mine are in euro-celadon though). How about hydrangeas in shades of ivory/cream/pale green with pale pink antique roses interspersed. The flowers will be a variation of your bouquet, and cream/pink/pale green is a superb color combo! I have seen that exact palette and trust me, it's exquisite.

I would suggest using the same colours that yours will be and then add in a completely different colour to compliment the white and pink. Maybe a purple or a blue colour to give it some punch. Their arrangements should be smaller than your own.

I would suggest all pink for BM's! If you have a Maid / Matron of Honor then Let them be one color & the bridesmaid the other

Make theirs the same but lots smaller with fewer flowers. If your florist is used to designing wedding flowers they will be happy to render suggestions to you. They should also have a book with lots of pictures to help you visualize better what they can do. Please let them handle this that is what they are there for.

I had Gerber daisies, my flowers were orange (favorite color) and my girls wore different colors. so we incorporated the flowers with their dresses.
