  I would add some other flowers to the girls bouquets. Different tones and shades of red would add both depth and texture to the flowers and help them stand out from the dresses.
  
  maybe something similar to this with or w/o the green

  Also, maybe adding a sash or something to the dresses in another color might help the flowers stand out a little more

  What is your other color?  I was in a wedding with red dresses and we carried red roses, but they broke up the color with some baby's breath in there.

  I wasn't planning on having any other flowers or colors to it, only the deep red daisies.  I want to keep it simple and it will be affordable for me also.  Thank you all for your comments and suggestions

  What about white daisies for them and red ones for you?

  I like this idea! Having the FGs wear red dresses, then red daisies is honestly a bit much. This would definitely break it up a bit-plus you still get the red daisies you want :-)

  Yes, I think as long as there is a little bit of other color somewhere else in your bouquet, it will look gorgeous.

  I definitely love texture and different shades, so if you really want red daisies with red dresses, I would suggest going with different shades of red or even orange.  Don't get the exact same or else I think it'll look like a red blob in pictures.

  
  

  Personally, I would choose white anemones like the one I embedded below.  Anemone have the look of daisies but I think black, white, and red make a stronger statement.
