I just ordered my flowers and now I'm rethinking!

I only have a 12 hour window to cancel so here is why I am panicking!

Our invitations, reply cards, etc. are all decorated with red gerbera daisies as this is our color and favorite flower. I just ordered bouquets, stems and boutonnieres and now I'm terrified that I'm overdoing the red gerbera. We literally are not choosing another flower. Each table is only going to have 3 or so stems in a bud vase and candles on the table and my bouquet alone is only deep red gerbera. The bridesmaids do have a bit of white in theirs since their dresses are red.

Help! Did I make the wrong decision? When is a repeated flower, too much??

    There is no right or wrong here. A repeated flower is never too much. You're probably over-thinking this, but it's your wedding and your money. Do whatever flowers you like and think will be most beautiful.

    You can probably re-do your order with the florist until pretty close to the wedding. There might be extra charges, but it's not like the flowers come in months in advance, specially for you. They only come in a couple days before, tops.

    I agree with PP. If you like it then go for it! I think it sounds nice and the flow works well, but if you think it is too much add a different kind of flower as well to go with the daisies.

    You're already mixing it up with the candles on the table and the white in the BMs bouquets.  I think it will look lovely :)

    Thanks, everyone! I am leaving it the way it is :)

    I will admit, relaxation is not on my list right now but I will try!

    15 days to go!

    I LOVE gerber daisies - you could take those gerber daisies for your tables, take the stems off and put them in vases and have them float - then have something like this inside the vase
