My bridesmaids are wearing red and white. I'll do red roses (my fiance's favorite) and white gerber daisies (my favorite). I think my bouquet will be just red roses...and the bridesmaids will carry just white gerber daisies. Simple and classic.

I used the same flowers for my wedding, but the bridesmaids bouquets were a mixture of the 2 flowers and I had white roses.

I'm having a scarlet and gray wedding (my fiancé is an alum and I'm a fan) and he is wearing a black suit with a red vest and gray tie. My bridesmaids will be wearing black and I will have a red sash around my waist. How did we pick scarlet and gray? It just honestly came to us when we were throwing around colors. My flowers will be gerbera daisies though. Those are the very first flowers he ever bought me. I don't care if it clashes; those flowers hold a special meaning for the two of us.

Our oldest AOII daughter carried red roses as well, and that's what the boys wore too. I wish I could post a picture of her bouquet--it was red roses and berries and greenery (this was a Christmas wedding)--but the computer won't let me. The bridesmaids had red roses, fragrant white lilies, red berries, and silver Christmas balls. The little girls had kissing balls covered with white hydrangea petals with silver balls at the bottom a a silver chain.

Hypericum berries, because they come in all colors, and kissing balls seem to be used a lot around here for bouquets these days.

When are you getting married and what color are you bridesmaid dresses?

I used peach and red roses with white orchids. Red is my favorite color (and it photographs beautifully), and I love orchids. The peach was a great accent color for summer.
