Pick my flowers

jennyann28

So flowers are one of the main big things I have left.  We are DIYing them, so I am starting to think more about what I want to do so that we can do a trial run first.  I had originally wanted a mixture of all colors of dahlias.  Now I am kind of worried the mix will be too much.  My dress is kind of busy, but the girls' dresses are bright green that will look good with almost any flower.  So which do you prefer:

Option 1, the mix:

Option 2, all one color:

Option 3, a mix of just two colors (look at the thumbnail at the top, for some reason I can't get this pic any other way):

I'm having my girls have all white flowers, possibly dahlias, and I'm having a mix of flowers, in green, white, and blue. If I can't find enough of those, possibly pink or purple.

i like the idea of two colors...that way there's still a "mix", but not too busy. or you can have a solid color, and give the bm's a mix.

I picked all one color.  I think Dahlias have such a strong shape that when you mix too many colors they start to look too busy.  I like Jennlin's idea.  Maybe do all one color but each BM (or just MOH) a different color.

Actually I like Jennlin's idea.  That or you can do 2 colors and have the BMs with the mix because I do like having a mix of flowers.

i LOVE the yellow dahlia's... they would look amaznig with the green dresses.

Any of the above would be pretty.  But, I'd say the mix for BM, w/ a hint of green and one color for you.  Or vice versa.

mix for you, solids for BM's or vice versa.  While your dress has a pattern, I don't think its too busy to have a colorful bouqet. if your dress had color in it that would be different stories. I really like the idea of single color bouqet, esp with such a distinctive flower as the dahlia.
