What color flowers? white or red? Please help

My dress is white with an db apple colored sash. The girls are wearing solid color db apple dresses.
What color flowers should we all have? The original thought was I would carry red and the girls would carry white with a little red. First we thought roses, lillies and gerbera daisies but decided thats too messy looking, so we were going all roses. The girls would have white roses and white stock.
After further thought, I am now thinking maybe we should all just have white flowers. Maybe white roses unless there is something else prettier. I have tried to find pics online of red/white bridal parties with flowers but haven't found too many. I think the red bouquet looks pretty but is a huge smack of red in the middle of the photo. Maybe it takes away from everything else... idk.... Also, someone had mentioned to me that the white with a little red made the flowers look like they were bleeding LOL.
Thoughts? Pics?

I am having such a hard time since the first time i got married I found a blue bouquet I loved without roses that I gave the florist. I wound up with some kind of ugly white and pink and floraly arrangement... must have been switched with another wedding. Everyone told me they looked great, and not to worry about it, I was pissed and wanted them switched. I lthink back and it just upsets me. NOW, I can't seem to make a damn decision on what I want or what would look good.

    Just keep in mind that just because your main color is red doesn't meant that you're stuck with only using red and white flowers.  Pink and green accents in the flowers may be a nice touch to break up the boldness of a red bouquet.

    I'm having this same problem! I cannot decide if I want red roses or white lilies. Girls are wearing red, I'm wearing white. I like the idea of the same basic color for both bride and bridesmaids (maybe you have a different opinion?) and I've also had that thought about a "bleeding" bouquet- terrible thought! Here are some pictures I found that I like. Maybe they can help you!:

    By the way, the lily picture was the bride having white lilies and her bridesmaids having that stargazer lily with the pink/red center. It actually looked really nice with the dresses!

    I have the same issue as well. I have db apple bridesmaids dresses with a black sash and my dress is ivory. I want my girls to have black magic roses but that just makes their whole look seem really dark. I think I will have mostly white calla lilies center with black magic roses on the perimeter. But what to do with my girls? My other color is gold so maybe I will give them white and gold flowers.

    My advice to you would be to give them either all white or a mixture of white and some other colors not all red.
