Wedding Flowers?

Hi Everyone, I am having eggplant bridesmaids dresses and I have met with a couple of florists...I really liked this one lady I met the other day and this is what she came up with for the bridesmaids....i want to know your opinion...



dark purple lisianthus

lavendar (blue curiosa) roses

green hydrangea



I'm just not sure what this is going to look like, so anyone that knows anything about flowers, please let me know!! Also, if anyone can find a picture of what this might look like, that would be awesome!

Wedding Flowers?
This sounds perfect, actually! Lisianthus is a beautiful flower that resembles a rose but has more detail, is more delicate and has more aroma. Lavender roses (also called sterling roses, I believe) are perfect with a deep purple and the green hydrangea will add just the right touch! This florist really knows her stuff!
Reply:I was looking at the links posted by the first poster, and I think the green hydrangeas will be a little too much for the bouquet. Instead I would see if the florist will add some baby's breath, and throw in some white roses too, or go with white hydrangeas because they will look better with the purple.
Reply:Here is a similiar arrangement with white flowers thrown in.. sounds beautiful!

Some white mixed in the boquets would be very nice also... maybe some baby's breath or something light. The green hydrangea may be too big for the delicatness of the other two flowers.
Reply:I think that sounds beautiful! I am also having lavender roses, they are really pretty and I love green hydrangea. That will be a very elegant look. Go for it!
Reply:The flowers will look lovely. One suggestion though - you may want to mix in some whites or cream color flowers... otherwise your bridesmaids may end up looking too 'purple' with an eggplant color dress and a purple bouquet. Just my two cents.



Congrats!
