Wedding flowers, colors

[carnation]

We're hoping that our Zeta daughter doesn't see the HK dress, as she's a Hello Kitty fanatic and I can just see her wearing that at her wedding!

I've known of some brides to go to the florist's first and look at the bouquet books and then plan colors that go with the one they liked best. I saw a bouquet in one of those books that was all done in blues, greens, and purples and thought that'd be gorgeous to plan gowns around.

One daughter has decided that when she marries, she'll have her bridesmaids wearing all different shades of pastels. We've also been to weddings where the bridesmaids wore gradually deepening shades of the same color. Like the first one down the aisle wore very dark pink, the next one was a little lighter, and so on until you got to the maid of honor, who was wearing very pale pink.

My friend was going to do something similar to that, and have varying shades of blue and green for her bridesmaids. It got too complicated though (she would've had to organize the colors based on our heights), so she's just sticking with one shade (seafoam, which I usually hate, but this dress looks so pretty that I don't mind wearing it!).

This is the dress:

Light pink roses are very nice!

I"m toally buying that Hellow Kitty wedding dress. It'll look AWESOME with my red hair. Totally. Maybe there is a matching dress for the bridesmaids and flower girl, too!!!! *pukes quietly.*

Also, keep in mind the timing of your wedding. Certain flowers are better and more available at certain times of the year. Of course if price is no object, do whatever the heck you want. But your florist can advise you on that.
