I really need some help with choosing my flowers. I live in England but i'm getting married in Orlando, Florida. As it is only an intimate wedding I only get a small choice of flower selections:
1) White Miniature Calla Lillies with stems partially wrapped in white ribbon with pearl pin accents
2) Hand tied bouquet designed with white lizianthus, alstromeria, veronica, freesia, and greenery accents. Stems fully wrapped with white ribbon.
3) Cascading bouquet designed with white cymbidium orchids and white dendrobium orchids
or
4)Hand tied bouquet designed with roses. Stems fully wrapped with a bow in coordinating ribbon.
The only choice of colour options I have is with the fourth option and I have a choice of white, red, pink, yellow or purple roses.
My dress is Paulette by Maggie Sottero and is Diamond White. My fiance is wearing a light coloured suit and I am not having any bridesmaids to co-ordinate with.
I liked the idea of white roses but then someone said they would look awful in the photo's as i'm wearing diamond white and that the flowers wouldn't show up.
I would really appreciate some advice with what to choose!
Thanks in advance, Sophie

Whoever told you that the flowers wouldn't show up against your dress...tell them to zip it...unless the photographer is completely inept that is just silly. I have done white bouquets for tons of weddings and never...ever...were they invisible! All the choices sound quite nice. Pick what you like best, breathe deep and relax. No flowers are all white anyway. There are touches of green and tones and shadows in them. An all white rose bouquet would look really nice against a Maggie Sottero dress. Enjoy your Orlando wedding....It is a great place to get married and have a lot of fun!!!!(And the light is always beautiful down there!) love and luck to you!!!!
