Help with bouquet please

Bustamucho

We are having simple wedding on a Kauai beach. It is a second wedding, and we are in our late 40's, so traditional white dress is not what I had in mind. I am wearing a turquoise blue and chocolate brown tropical print dress. My fiance is wearing brown shorts and a white wedding shirt. No one else is in the wedding. I want a tropical type bouquet, but my question is, in what color ? I am really having a tough time with this. I want the flowers to pop in photos, but not clash ! Help !

Orange! It's on the opposite side of the colour wheel, so it'll totally pop in photos.

can you take a picture of the dress (or if it on the internet somewhere), and play around with in on your computer?  even in Word I think you could put a colored dot in the middle to see what that general color would look like. IMHO, I think a white bouquet would really pop in photos.

I also think a yellow-orange color would be nice, or a light green color (like the green of cymbidium orchids or other green flowers).  I like yellow-orange, almost like a gold color, because gold goes with turquoise as well as brown. Here's a pic where they used orange in the brown and turquoise color scheme - the flowers are sort of small in the pic, but you get the idea.  they also used white flowers. to think about turquoise, brown, and green as a possibility, I saw this.  It's not exactly how the colors would appear of course with your dress, but you get some idea.

I like the idea of orange as well! Very tropical!

I think orange and/or green is perfect! My wedding colors are turquoise, lime green and choc brown and my bouquet is white and green and my bridesmaids who are wearing turquoise will be holding orange and green bouquests.

How big is the print on your dress?  And is it pretty evenly turquoise and brown - or is one of those colors more prominent?If it is a big bold print, I'd learn more towards a simple white/ivory bouquet.But if the print is smaller/simpler then I like the idea of orange or green.  I guess it depends on the dress.  Do you have a photo?
