OK Ladies, I am at an impasse with finding bouquets that will coordinate with my girl's dresses.  I want to compliment the hot pink dress but everything I find has TOO MUCH hot pink...any suggestions?  Here is what the bridesmaid's dresses look like

And here is what my dress looks like


What about these?  Will they look good?

    I think your selection is lovely however your ladies flowers might get lost  in gowns.

    My ladies are wearing their choice of Navy blue gowns and will be carrying  white/cream silk hydrangeas that are hand-tied in Navy ribbon, with white net overlay.  As soon as my FI uploads the pictures I will share them.  My bouquet is blue silk hydrangeas and stephanotis with rhinestones (15 of them to honor how old we were when we met), they are hand-tied with white satin ribbon that I will be doing a Navy blue net overlay on.

    FIrst of all, I LOVE your colors. I think those bouquets would work if you added more lighter pink roses and a bit more green.

    Yes, I was afraid it might be too much pink.  I love the flowers...maybe I could have them change the hot pink roses in the bridesmaid's bouquets to light pink and have the stems wrapped in either ivory or sage green ribbon.

    CincyChick  - Changing out the ribbon and opting for lighter roses would make both the flowers and the gowns pop!

    My girl''s dresses were similar in color I think.  Here are a few pics that show the bouquets.

    I really the variety in kitty's bouquets.  Maybe keep the pink theme, but add some really bright other colors.  Then the pink will be less likely to get lost when up against the dresses.

    I, personally, would have their stems wrapped in a lighter colour and YOUR bouquet stems wrapped in the brighter shade. :)

    I would switch them.  Have your's be mostly the pink & have the bms be mostly the white.  That's what I'm doing with ours' (in our color).

    My sister's gowns were purple and we used mostly accent colors in their bouquets and very little purple. But I had a lot of colors in our wedding, all the jewel tones, including gold.

    Love them and I agree with PP suggestions about lightening the ribbon.  Seeing the other photos, it seems you'd have enough other color to make them pop and not blend.  LOVELY either way.

    I like the idea of having more white in their bouquets and more color in yours.  I would suggest having a bright green ribbon on their bouquets for a POP of color or a blue even, like a turquoise.  If you are going to use colored flowers in their bouquets, use more pastels and keep the vibrant flowers in yours for a good contrast.

    Have you posed this question to your florist or are you planning to DIY?
