Flower Colour Help!!

in June 2012 Weddings
Hello ladies!  I am desperate for help with my flower colours.  I can't decide and neither can FI (neither of us are good with picturing what everything will look like all put together).  Our main colour is cobalt blue....these are my shoes & bridesmaid dress colours:

 


 

 

So we are trying to decide whether to do bright pink flowers or to do orange/yellow/coral flowers.  Our wedding is in Maui so we really want to take advantage of all the beautiful bright Hawaiian flowers.   Obviously our flower colours will determine the rest of the colours for our reception so we are needing to make a decision soon.  Any advice on chosing colours???  Picture ideas are also welcome!!

    Well I was thinking sun flowers would look really pretty. But now that you mentioned bright pink maybe gerber daisies. Or hibiscus since you'll be in Hawaii.

    I am doing colbalt with pinks (all different shades for the flowers). I think that orange would be more tropical though.

    We are using these deep blue with sunflowers. But since you will be in Hawaii maybe the colors from birds of paradise? You could use those in centerpieces and pull colors from that.

    I think as long as the color is saturated and vibrant you will be fine matching to the blue.

    That is also the color of my BM's dresses.  This is what we are modeling our bouquets after:

    My MOH will have only orange gerber daisies, my BM's will have only yellow, FG's will have only fuschia and I will have a combo of all.  It really makes the dresses pop.  I had also seem a similar pic from one of my fb friends that was in a wedding with those color combos. 

    Since you are getting married in Hawaii, I would ask florists down there which flowers are cheapest and which would go together.  I'm sure they are experts with exotic flowers there! Or maybe even try googling it.

    I like the orange, yellow, coral combo. It sounds more tropical and fits for a Hawaiian destination wedding.

    Carebear62584, those are very pretty and would also match a tropical theme...

    I agree with this.

    As for the reception, I would do white tablecloths and pick an accent color that you like. I would go with bright colors. Maybe yellow, pink or orange?

    Our colors are ivory and cobalt blue and we're using red and magenta zinnias as our accent flowers.
