color scheme: wine
my girls' dresses are 'wine' colored and though i haven't met with the florist yet, i'm trying to come up with some ideas. most pictures i see, the flowers are red or purple. nothing really in between. did anybody else have that color scheme and if so, can you please post some pics of your flowers (bo-k's, pew decorations, cakes, whatever) thank you!

Re: color scheme: wine
I have some accents of it since my BM dreesses are pink (cotton candy) with a wine sash.My florist suggested staying with pinks (peonies) and since I am doing calla lillies, orchids as well.
Orchids can definitely 'soften' the burgundy look.
Here is a gorgeous BM Bo-K that my florist recommended I do with burgundy callas to match the 'wine'

Re: color scheme: wine
My best friend's wedding was wine and we used the above picture BoKs, almost exactly. MY SIL had the same color and we did all white BoKs.I've also seen some light orange and yellow. Think fall colors. What do the tree's leaves turn to? They all look good.
There was a bride that was married last fall that did leaves very tastefully. (SOmeone help me out with her name) Her flowergirl had leaves instead of petals and her cake had leaves. It was very beautiful!

Re: color scheme: wine
My best friend had wine BM dresses and our flowers were wine and white. I've also seen orange, yellow, etc. I was told to think about leaves that change in the fall to understand colors that go with wine.

My BM dresses are wine. Take a look at my album to see the bo-k's.

Re: color scheme: wine
I just met with my florist today and I'm also doing wine/red. She showed me pics of the dresses against red bo-ks and you could barely see them in the photos. She suggested a white rose with a red tip or just incorporating other white-colored flowers.
