Bouquets

So- I am trying to get ideas for bouquets and I am just not sure how to go about it??  Should the maids bouquets match mine?  How do you figure out complementing flowers?  (

Here's what I am trying to take into consideration....

1. My colors are black/ivory/light pink/light green
2. My favorite flower is Pink Carnation
3. I have totally fallen in love with using just Baby's Breath as a bouquet
4. I also adore hydrangeas

Would it look weird to have my maids carry Baby's Breath bouquets (their dresses will be black, adn I think it will be a nice contrast and tie in soem of the green that I having as my color scheme) and for me to carry and mix of carnations (mostly pink) and baby's breath?  Would it look weird if we all carried Baby's Breath only- my bouquet being larger than my maids?

    Are you using a florist?

    Yes, then talk to them about your concerns.  That's what you're paying them for.

    No, then I think the baby's breath would look fine but I wouldn't pair it with carnations.  I think that carnations bunched tightly together look very nice.  Either way they would look great but I wouldn't combine them in one bouquet.

    I think the baby's breath tightly bunched will look beautiful.  I have seen it in a few pictures when I was looking for bouquet ideas as well.  Good luck!:)

    I think green hydrangeas, white peonies, and pink carnations would be pretty. You could have the BMs carry either baby's breath or a bouquet with 2 hydrandeas and the peonies/carnations. The mom's could also carry smaller bouquets of baby's breath.

    Hydrangea blooms are bigger so it would give you a fuller look without having to purchase a ton of stems. Also, These flowers are easier to DIY.

    It would look something like this. They used a lighter hydrangea.

    Baby's breath is pretty and feminine, either mixed with other flowers, or on it's own. 

    The only problem I have with using a lot of baby's breath, is that it smells bad to me, lol.
