Re: blue / green ideas?

that sounds like it will go. maybe you can add small pink colored flowers into bo-k also to break the blue on prewinkle......

Be careful with hydrangeas in bo-ks.....I wanted them as well and a florist told me that they will wilt by mid-day because it's summer time and hydrangeas need ALOT of water.....they would work better with centerpieces, etc.

Good Luck!!

P.S. I just saw a previous post about the dark red calla lilies with periwinkle and I loved it! I love the contrast.

Re: blue / green ideas?

I'm doing hydrangeas in my Bouquet. My florist said that he's going to add some wet cotton balls to the end of the hydrangeas stems and wrap them. This way they can still get their moisture. I really like my florist and he knows all types of tricks. He did tell me to stay away from lilys and orchids in my bouqet though...

Sorry I went off on a tangent. Can you post a picture of the color the dress will be?
