Bridesmaids bouquet - Wedding Forum

I have decided to wear a diamond white dress and to have a small round bouquet of red roses. My bridesmaid will be wearing a deep red colour dress but I'm not sure what colour bouquet she should have. Do you think a small round white rose bouquet would be too much of a contrast?

I think that would be lovely!

Sounds blooming perfect if you ask me!

If you wanted to add another element/colour you could have lots of greenery, Nikki did that & it looked gorgeous.

How about a mixed red and white bouquet? My bridesmaid had a similiar bouquet to my own only a lot smaller, otherwise we both had purple and ivory flowers, which was my colour scheme.

Thanks for the welcome, I feel at home already

I like the idea of adding lots of greenery. it sounds lovely.

We are having a fairly small wedding (about 50 including us) and we are hoping to have it in a small country church followed by a marquee reception in my H2B's mothers garden... so we are keeping our fingers crossed that the marquee people say it can be done when the come to survey the garden!

I'm having one bridesmaid who will be wearing a deep red dress and I will be wearing a diamond white dress by Maggie Sottero. I'm making my own invitations etc and we are planning to have fireworks and bubble machines too!

There is a red rose theme starting to come out I have noticed... it wasn't intentional but it should be nice... at least I hope it will be lol!

I have already ordered my dress so now I feel like a 6 year old waiting for christmas day

Just wanted to say

I think the contrast would be lovely, or you could always keep to the same flowers but use diamond white ribbon on the BM's flowers!

I'm assuming you mean South Wales as in UK...... if so where abouts? I'm an Ex South Wales girl (Marriage meant a move)

I'm in Newport at the moment but I have moved around a fair bit. I was born in Pontypool and I have also lived in Swansea and Cardiff.

Where in S/Wales were you from?

I lived in Cardiff up until a year ago! (Lived there for 20 something years!
