I am in the process of ordering the flowers for the bouquets and boutineers. My dilemma is, my wedding is in about 3 weeks (I know not much time left) but what I am doing is ordering the roses online and making all the stuff with the help of the wedding party ($$$). Anyway, the bridemaid dresses are red, mine is ivory, and the tuxes are all black. I initially thought to do red roses for me and white for everyone else, but I think red would be too much of a contrast....so how would it look if I used a variety of colors such as red, white, pink, and yellow or is that too summery? Also, how about just white or cream colored roses? Any suggestions are welcomed, please help!

I think that if your wanting to go by the richness of the season, the red would be nice, but something you can have ordered is a bundle of cream roses that have an accent color of red, kinda like a shimmer, which is soft and really rich for the season. I think too many light colors going on might mess up the theme you were going for initially. Your brides made could have the straight creme roses or white if you prefer. You could even to on your bouquet an outer of the rich scarlet red and the inner the cream with the red! That also would be very beautiful! Hope this helps! Good luck and happy holidays

My wedding colors were the same as yours.
My bouquet was red roses (3 different shades) and a little white flower called stephonosis as accents. I received so many compliments on my bouquet.
The bridesmaid bouquets were calla lillie and casa blancas.
Good luck and congratulations!!!

I think that the red would look spectacular against your white dress and not look to flashy, I also think that red would look great against the tuxes and white roses for the bridesmaids. I think your Idea about all those other colors would be too flashy and to springish, not summery.
Also if your looking to save money silk flowers may be cheaper and you can get them at Micheals and may be able to find different types of flowers that you like and they are easier to work with. (experiance of doing way to many wedding flowers in my time.) besides which there you can also find very pretty vine-like babies breath and such.
Have fun and you should hurry you don't have much time to do all of this :)

I would use white roses for the bridesmaids and red roses for you, the contrast looks great.

If it is a night wedding, the red and white would be very dramatic and classy. However, if it is a day time wedding, the mix of colors may soften the effect so it isn't so stark. I like both ideas!

I like the idea of red, white, pink and yellow - nothing summery about them at all. Or what about sonya colored.

I think your first thought would be stunning! The contrast would be really neat, bold and memorable.
