Hello!

My girls dresses are burgundy. Their bouquets are 8 ivory long stemmed calla lilies. I am thinking about adding some orchids. I wanted to add 5 light pink cymbidium orchids. My florist only has a purply pink, burgundy, or white orchid. I don't really want burgundy bc I don't like the flowers match perfectly. I am holding black baccara roses. I'm not sure what color to add in the bridesmaid bouquets if any...Do you think I should just leave the ivory calla lillesby themselves?

Have you considered another color of calla? My BM are also in a burgundy colored gowns.  We are thinking of adding a mini calla called Captain Rossete.  It is a very light pink that is almost variegated.  I like the texture of the coloring with the ivory.  Just my thoughts.  Here is a link to a photo of the the calla that I am referring to: http://www.minicallas.net/img/callas/new_callas_files/page0-1005-full.jpg

Hope this helps.

I think the callas on their own or with the light pink orchids will look beautiful either way. 

The picture of the Captain Rosette mini calla that abrown351 posted is just beautiful and would look great. 

It might be a little tricky mixing the larger with the mini callas, because the stem size and length are so different.  Ask your florist for advice if that will work.  If not, you could easily switch from long stemmed to all mini callas in ivory and the pink, and it will still have a very similar look.
