flowers

after seeing my wedding dress, my mom thinks we need to make some adjustments to our flower plans. originally, we were thinking of doing a bright colorful bouquet. but after some discussion, she pointed out that a bright bouquet would compete with my dress....and she is SO right. so to a degree, we are back at square one regarding flowers. kinda. i think mom's helped me figure out what kinds of flowers i like (and i actually know the names of them now, thanks to her - my mom is an awesome gardener and knows all of this stuff). so here's some bouquets that are in neutral tones, but still quite beautiful (all images from the knot):

sweet peas!

roses & calla lillies - i'm not huge on roses, but i really like this pale ivory pink color

i like the pale green hydrangeas

mini calla lilies, ranunculus, and orchids

peonies & lily of the valley

peonies! this one is my favorite :)

these flowers are drastically different from what i was looking at before (here and here) but when you see my dress, you'll understand why the change was necessary! what do you think?

They're all beautiful. I'm glad you agreed with the decision to scale the flowers back -- you don't want anything competing with you in that dress.
