Wanna help me find a bouquet? (PIP)

Goldlie11

I'm meeting with a florist in a couple of days. He told me to bring in photos of what I'm interested in.  I found the centerpiece.  It's a retro centerpiece I saw on Madmen.  I'm trying to find a bouquet that will coordinate, but not look the same.  I'm really going for a retro vibe.  Any help will be appreciated. I know you girls are much better than me at finding stuff on the web.  

 I want the bouquet to be red and pink, but it doesn't matter if the color is off.  Here's a fuzzy photo of the centerpiece

Hmm sure.  Also we brought in pics to show our florist and he was able to i.d. the flowers and design stuff that went well so you could always just bring in that pic and see what he suggests.

Thanks, NQB.  I was wondering if anyone had any links or could PIP any photos.

What about this one?

It's brighter than the centerpieces though.  Do you have a bio?  I need more details!

Weird. There's not too much in it.  My colors are red and black, with a hint of pink.  <div>Here's a photo of the reception room.  I'm thinking of black tablecloths.  </div>

Any flowers you particularly like or don't like?

Goldlie11

I like most flowers.  I pretty much want to stay in season (summer).  I definitely want mini carnations in it, but not just carnations.  

catemeg

If peonies are out of your price range, what about this?  It said it used garden and English roses to simulate the lush appearance of peonies on a smaller budget.  Throw a few carnations in it, and I think it'd be perfect!

What about using some dahlias? They come in such a variety of colors that coordinate well. I would use some hot pink roses or carnations in place of the spikey pink flowers they have here, but this general idea:

Another idea with dahlias and cymbidium orchids, but you could easily go without the orchids.

Thanks, desert and cate.  I'll print them out.  

Desert, I really like the first one you posted.
