What flowers would work with this?

What flowers/colors would you use with this dress??

This is not the style of dress I was going for, but I fell in love with it when I tried it on yesterday (my mom picked it out and begged for me to try it on).
Originally, I was going to have a 6pm ceremony outside (with inside reception) that was casual. Pink and yellow were my colors, and was going to use gerber daisies. However, this dress has me willing to start all over.
I can't ask FI because I am adament about him not seeing my dress, so any help would be great!

Do you mean the dress in your profile?  It is very elegant and sophisticated, with just a hint of a vintage Hollywood glamour feel to it.  

Something simple and elegant, like callas, white lilies, orchids, or classic roses (or a mix of those).  If you were going for a vintage look, you could add an antique silver bouquet holder, vintage looking jewelry or accessories.

Thanks Catwoman

a bokay of stems of phaelenopsis orchids would be the stuner bokay but it is not inexpensive.I agree with catwoman about the callas.very retro 30's style

Personally I love roses, but I agree Callas would be perfect with this dress.

Callas would look nice (& only if you like them), I agree, too, with the idea of orchids...

& I like the idea of adding a vintage/retro/glamourous detail.

You definitely have options in terms of a sophisticated bouquet that would complement your lovely dress!

A tight nosegay style would look pretty, too. Callas:
