Bouquet thoughts...

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

I'm having a handmade felt rose bouquet made for my wedding.  FI, his best man and my friend walking me down the aisle will have small felt rose lapel pins and my MOH and my daughter will have felt corsages with two flowers - possibly not roses but something flatter that will sit well on their wrists.

The problem i'm having is deciding on the colour of the roses in my bouquet.  My dress is ivory, with a white petticoat (it's a tea length dress and you can only really see the red pop when I move around) and I'm wearing matching red shoes.  FI is in a dark blue suit with an ivory shirt.  Tie as yet undecided but he wants blue with white microdots although he's seen one with red microdots which I'm trying to get him to buy without giving too much away about my dress!  I've told my MOH she can wear what she wants but I think her dress will be black and my daughters is red like my petticoat and shoes.

So do I go for all red roses in my bouquet?  Or mostly red but with some ivory?!  I'm thinking red for the lapel pins but then what about the corsages?  Two red flowers or a red and an ivory one?  There are so many options and I know all of them will look good but I'm having trouble committing!  All opinions welcome!

  • I would go red for everything! Maybe because your daughter will be wearing all red you could make her flowers ivory?
  • Thanks @J9lawrence :)

    I sat down with my MOL and Fi's sister and we had a look at the colours and we decided that of the 10 roses we'd go with three ivory and 7 red, but have three different shades of red to give it depth which I hadn't thought of :)

    I think for the corsages i'll go for one ivory flower and one red, but make the small one red and the large one ivory which will look good against the red and black dresses.
  • Sounds awesome! Can't wait to see pictures!
