I was a little dissapointed last night when my Aunt came over and started to tell me which flowers would look best with my dress. She wants to do a hand tied bouquet in a shape I don't really like, and she was on about ivory flowers.... She also suggested black baccura roses (Which are basically dark red, despite her insistance they aren't!)... I'm gutted as I didn't want to have anything ivory/white (Save for the cake, but thats white chocolate and therefore unavoidable!) or red in the day.... I hate the colour red.... I also didn't like the idea of ivory/white roses 'cause they're what I had for my Dad's funeral and I just think it would remind me too much of those. She assures me it would be different, but I'm not convinced. I'll go with the Ivory rather than red though... I'm trying to look for things that'll be a halfway point between what I want and what she thinks will look good. I know she's right- She has a real eye for these things, and I want it to look good on the day, but I'd be heartbroken if I had to have something I hated as my flowers mean a lot to me....
I've agreed with her that because of the dramatic look the dress will have it's better to have all one flower and all one colour though, so thats one thing at least!
