okay I am having a military wedding and my FH is in the Air Force. He is planing on wearing his Mess Dress Uniform and by doing so picked our wedding colors to. Air Force blue (very deep navy), silver and black ascent. My brides maids are wearing silver dresses and his groomsmen are wearing there uniforms as well. 

So here is my problem I am confused on what color flowers i want im leaning more towards 
burgundy, ruby red, or white. But I am not sure if I am playing it to safe.

Plus will be doing all my bouquets and centerpieces and really leaning towards calla lilys.

    I love the idea of all white bouquets with different flowers.  Calla lilies are beautiful, but on the higher end.  But mixed with rose, dahlia, etc. they make really beautiful bouquets.

    Hello there, my FI is also Air Force and wearing his Mess Dress. My BMs are in navy blue and his GMs are in gray suits (they're not military). We're using bright red flowers (anemones, dahlias, spray roses, and, hopefully, some poppies) as well as some orange and deep saffron yellow. I do love bright or ruby red flowers, but I think with your color scheme a lot of white would also work very well.

    i think red or white bouquets would be stunning!!!! remember, you want your wedding pictures to not look dated in 10 years!!!!!  sticking with classic colors is always safe!  callas are pricy, but stunning! if you have the money, and love the flower, use them!! they are very easy to work with. (i am an event florist, and have a ton of DIY brides use them) i would suggest ordering from a website like fiftyflowers.com, get them in bulk, and layer 3-5 of them together for your bridesmaids! super easy, but very classic! go for it!

    i often look back on wedding pictures from the 80s-90s and giggle at all the mauve and teal weddings!

    <div>A lot of colors go with Navy Blue, Silver, and Black.  </div><div>
    </div><div>You could do a combination of red white and black like this one:</div><div><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/100498347/paris-red-and-white-bouquet-and" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/100498347/paris-red-and-white-bouquet-and</a></div><div>
    </div><div>Or you could do something traditional and jazz it up with some shimmer like this one:</div><div><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/101860106/classic-shimmer-ivory-wedding-bouquet" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/101860106/classic-shimmer-ivory-wedding-bouquet</a></div><div>
    </div><div>It really just needs to suit your style.  Hopefully that helps and I hope you have a fabulous wedding! </div><div>
