Oyster and ivory dress- white flowers?

Lovely dress!

Honestly, although I think white flowers would be fine, you might need another colour to break it up a bit.

What colour are your BM's having?

I was hoping the yellow centres of the daisies with maybe a bit of greenery with the flowers would be enough.

Haven't got as far as BMs yet! I'm sure I am focusing on things in the wrong order! I do love the idea of black dresses for BMs but in a floaty material with maybe a yellow pashmina to brighten it up. Might still be a bit dark for spring though. They are both larger ladies so I know they would prefer darker rather than lighter. I think they might kill me if I put them all in yellow!

Hmmm...you're probably better off waiting to see an opinion from one of the HIBs as I don't know that mich about flowers.

Personally I think your dress would look better with a more formal flower, like lots of pale pastel roses, as it's quite dressy, if that makes sense. I'm fixed on having sunflowers as my flowers (for sentimental reasons) and so I'm considering this when I'm picking a dress.

People with more flower knowledge will probably come along in a minute and make me feel very silly though!

Thanks for the help- others opinions always help me look at things from different angles

Fabulous dress and very elegant and classy. A couple of things worth considering.... Ox-eye daisy is classed as a wildflower and generally flowers in Summertime so chances are, your florist would have problems getting hold of any for you in Spring. Wildflowers are generally not available for commercial use (i.e., wholesale flower markets) as a lot of them are protected species too. Commercial alternatives would be gerbera or chrysanthemum which is very similar.

The other point is the style of your dress dictates towards elegant, luxury flowers such as orchids, roses etc. Personally, and this is only my professional opinion, I think that a country style flower would 'cheapen' the look of your dress - a bit like wearing casual summer sandals with a designer business suit. Oyster and lace is a classic, vintage, romantic look and would look amazing with David Austin Roses or orchids in pastel shades with delicate foliage. Obviously, you can have whatever flowers you like as it's your day as long as the flowers are available but daisies wouldn't be something I would recommend having with a dress as fantastic as yours and I mean that in the nicest possible way ?

This or peonies

LOVE your dress it is stunning , I think softer looking flowers would be more suited it the style of it though and would add to the romantic look of your dress.

Thankyou ladies, that has given me something to think about. I'm not a big fan of roses so would probably be looking at one of the other options. I think I need to do some serious googling to get some more ideas- will def look a bit more at peonies and orchids. Thanks for the compliments on the dress- I didn't really believe 'the one' feeling existed till I put it on!! Totally blew the budget but hey ho!!!
