My bridesmaids are wearing chocolate brown dresses for my fall wedding.
I want to use roses, but which color would go best?
Dark pink? Warm yellow? Soft orange? Green? White?
HELP!!

    I think any of them would look pretty against the brown dresses. Is brown your only wedding color or do you have others? I would suggest using your wedding colors otherwise it could be fun to have each of your bridesmaids have a different color rose bouquet! Yellow, orange, or white seem more fitting for fall. Pink os fun but to me that is more summer time. Hope that helps!

    Thank you replying :)
    I agree with what you said about pink, I feel the same way about bright yellow, which is why if I did yellow it would be warm yellow opposed to a bright yellow.
    My colors are gold and brown with white (no ivory)
    There will be gold uplights for the cocktail hour and reception.
    The favors are gbrown and gold and the girls dresses are brown.
    My cake is white with gold swirls.
    The tableclothes and napkins will be white as well.
    But other than that I don't really have any other places that the gold and brown are- do I need more decorations than just the above?

    It all sounds really pretty! Are you having a white rose bouquet? If so maybe you could do a mix of soft yellow and orange roses for your bridesmaids. Or you could do a soft yellow for you and then your bridesmaids with a mix. It's hard to tell if you need more decorations without seeing the venue. But if you are confident in it, then I say nope. It really depends who you ask though and your budget.

    Welllllll...
    I was thinking of doing a white bouquet for me, because I am somewhat traditional- but I have seen so many pictures of brides in their white dresses and white bouquets and their bouquets just blend into the dress, they dont stand out at all, and even if pictures you cant see them well against the white dress- so I have been steered away from an all white bouquet for me.
    In my head, I'm thinking- a bouquetof circus roses for me (they are orange lined yellow roses), then orange roses for my MoH and then warm yellow roses for the other girls.
    OR
    a circus rose bouquet for me, orange and circus for my MoH and just orange for the other girls.
    Which do you think will look better?
    As for the decorations, I have no idea if what I have is enough- I hope so bc I can't think of what else to do for them-

    I had a similar color palette (champagne/gold/ivory) for my fall wedding.  I did all white flowers.  White flowers aren't ever stark white.  Here is a pic of my bouquet against my dress:



    That being said, I think any of those colors would be lovely.
