Problem with white boquet

Sorry if I spelled boquet wrong lol!

I would like a completley white boquet for myself and the florist I went to said she cannot get a complete white flower ordered for me. It would include a mixture of roses, peonies, lillies, and hydranium(sorry for the spelling) and she showedme the mix togetehr and some have natural tints of green. My dress is a completley stark white dress, and some of the flowers look almost ivory.

Should I ge another opinion, or is this very common when asking for a solid white boquet?

Thanks !

    This is pretty much the norm.  White flowers are not naturally stark white.  Each has its own hint of ivory or green to it.  The mix that you want sounds beautiful and it has a wide variety of textures and shapes.  I wouldn't stress too much over this because the bouquet will look gorgeous next to your dress.  Anyway if you had a stark white bouquet it would just blend into your dress!

    I had a stark white dress, and the roses in my bouquet had a definite ivory hue, and it still looked great. As PP said, having even the slight color differences will allow the bouquet to pop.

    Very common.  Here is my "all white" bouquet.  The ribbon on the stems is ivory.



    I've now come to realize that most of my inspiration pictures were probably photoshopped.

    There are hundereds of shades of white... the only way to get just one is to use just 1 flower.   Peonies are about the whitest white flower so that might be the way to go.. 
    Otherwise bend a little ?

    I like the ivory flowers because they pop more off the dress.
