  you probably should have the color somewhere in the flower arrangement. But if you like neautrals then maybe take ribbon and put it through the arrangment. I would suggest googling this because you may not like the sounds of it until you see it. But unless you want dead flowers in your bouquets then you should probably try this alternative!

  [QUOTE]My wedding colors are latte and champagne.  I am also using chocolate as an accent color.  I am having a horrible time trying to decide on flowers.  It seems that I am attracted to neutrals.  Everytime I look at pics of flowers I seem to be drawn to whites, creams, and beige tones.  I am affraid that my the bridesmaids will look washed out and dull if I use those colors. <strong> My friend told me that when I pick the flowers I have to make sure I incoporate the color I use in my wedding somewhere. </strong> Is this true? My wedding is in September but I hate the color orange that alot of people use in fall weddings and would never use it for flowers.  Any suggestions?

  <div>I don't know if this is always true. Some people have bouquets that are rainbow colors, but they do not have every single color in their decor. If most of your color scheme is neutral, some bold colors would look great in your flowers, but I don't think that you should feel like you need to change your scheme just to fit your flower choice. </div>

  When it comes to weddings, there is no "have to" about the details.  If you listen to everyone who gives you advice, it will stress you out. 
  
  Your friend might have been used to seeing bright, vivid colors at weddigs, because that's the trend now.  But that doesn't mean you have to follow it.  Many people prefer a simple, classic style and look to trendy.
  
  If you are drawn to the white, ivory, and cream flowers, they will look beautiful with the other colors.  It's called a monochromatic color scheme, and wll look very simple and elegant.
  
  If you feel you must add some color, because you prefer neutrals, you would probably prefer  some very soft pastels, like green, peach, or pink.

  My colors were black and champagne if you want to look in my bio.  I did all white flowers as I wanted everything to look classic and elegant like Catwoman said.  I considered adding blush pink also which I think would look beautiful if you are looking for something else.

  Just do what you want.  I would opt for a color bouquet to pop in pictures, but you seem like you prefer neturals, which is beautiful as well.  It's your vision and day. 
  
  Also, consider what your centerpieces will look like.  My BMs have white bouquets, I have a half-white, half-colored one, and my centerpieces are colored.  I didn't want everything to be so matchy-matchy.  However, if you want a monochromatic look, then maybe you do...

    You are doing a monochromatic color scheme, which can be very elegant and classic. You don't have to have pops of color if you don't want to. My cousin's wedding (over 10 years ago) was in the colors you mentioned and the pictures still look good because they made a classic choice. As long as you have different tonal values (light, medium and dark), people shouldn't look washed out. I think it would only look washed out if everything was in one tone. If you want to add more color (because you want to, not because someone said you have to), you can add whatever color you want. It doesn't have to be a fall color. Blush pink, sage green or peach would look nice IMO, but so would cream and ivory.

  Do i have to use the color of my bridesmaids dress in my wedding bouquets? My colors are marine blue and red. I was thinking about doing all white flowers for my bridesmaids and a all red with maybe a little white bouquet for myself. Does anyone think thats a good idea? HELP
