Wedding Party Rose Bouquet

My bridesmaids will be wearing reddish colored dresses (haven't picked them out yet), but I would like them to be a "rose red"

Would it be too much to have the BM carry white rose bouquets and the bride carry the red rose bouquet?
 
I didn't want us all to carry red because I think that would not look well if the BM are wearing red. But I also don't want to do all white roses either. I was trying to alternate colors. Any suggestions?

Also, how can I make my bouquet stand out more. Is the color difference enough or should mine be bigger....

    I think that sounds fine.  The flowers won't show up as well against the same color dresses.

    The colors sound good.  My sister in law did all rose bouquets:  she had 2 dozen roses, BMs had 1 dozen and the flower girl and 1/2 dozen.

    Sounds fine to me. I agree that red roses won't show up against the red dresses. I've seen the look you describe in several wedding photos and it always looks nice.

    I'm having the same dilemma. My girls are wearing dark red dresses (David's Bridal "Apple") and my bouquet will be all red roses. I thought about having them carry white bouquets or red and white. I might have to make a sample and hold it up to a swatch to be sure, but it might end up being white BM bouquets.

    I thought about using David's Bridal Apple. I've only seen it online though, and it looked more bright red than deep red. I guess I need to go and see it at the store.

    My daughter was in a wedding last year and she wore an apple red dress from David's Bridal. It was very pretty. The apple red is a very beautiful red. The bride carried red roses and the bridesmaids carried 2 long stemmed calla lilies. It was a very elegant wedding. Good Luck with your wedding plans.

    My girls are wearing DB apple red also but we are doing a mix of roses and calla lilies and gerber daisies.  I couldn't make a decision
