Bridesmaids dress colour V's flower colour -Help!

mrsmould-to-be, 18 January, 2010 at 10:41 Posted on Planning 0 8

Morning ladies - some advice on flower and colours please!

My bridesmaids are all dressed in alfred angelo gowns is the colour Sunshine - for those that are unfamiliar its a couple of shades darker than a Lemon colour (will post pic when found) im in a pale ivory - almost off white and im planning on having either gerberas or Tulips

as my colour theme is yellow, i want to have a yellow bouquet and give the bridesmaids white, so if i have yellow tulips they have white etc

do people think this will be ok? considering the yellow of the flowers may be brighter than the BM's dresses, will my flowers clash with them? the girls will be having white with green foliage

thanks girls! xx

    I think it will compliment beautifully. Using different shades of one colour is much easier than trying to match colours exactly. The different shades of yellow will look stunning. As you will be having foliage then this will also help to break the colours up. Ivory, Yellow & green is so elegant & fresh.

    I was going to suggest the daisy theme just like Sherrie...

    NEARLY went for daisies myself - but have since changed my theme to vintage pink ...

    Gerbera are daisies so if you have them in Yellow & white/Ivory you could still incorporate daisies into the theme.

    I think that sounds lovely. I did something similar in the summer, both the bride and bridesmaids had white and yellow roses and gerberas, but we put more white and less yellow in the BM's bouquets. You can see a pic here ... http://www.bygeorgebespoke.co.uk/testimonials.html
