I already posted something in flowers, but not really getting any responses. Here is the deal... We met with our florist yesterday (friend of FI) and he made a sample of the centerpieces. We are doing 3 tall cylinder vases with orchids submerged. The vases are different heights & there are floating white candles on top.
Our reception hall is very basic - flooring is brown marble, walls are light tan with espresso color trim. Table linens are an eggshell (off white) with white dishes & silver chargers. The walls will have uplighting in the bridesmaid dress color (or as close to it as we can get - which may lean more toward the purple side since I don't want to turn the hall into a pink room).
My bridesmaids are wearing Plum color Impression Bridal dresses. It is like a sangria/magenta type of color. Their bouquets will be a mix of pinks with a pop of a lime green.
Well I made the mistake of mentioning the color green & he made the sample centerpiece in solid green dembodium orchids. Very pretty, but I didn't want all green centerpieces. He said they make a green orchid with a throat in a plum/magenta shade. Or they also make an all purple shade or purple with white.
Your thoughts on which way to go would be appreciated... I am leaning towards purple orchids just because I really am not a fan of green.
Here is the girls dress color.
