I want to carry cream cala lillies for my bouquet, i will have a champagne colored bridal gown, Will it look elegant as well as pretty photographed if my bridesmaids carry red/wine color rose bouquets as they are wearing truffle colored gowns. Please advise on other color roses that would blend and photograph well with the truffle color.

Re: [kcfaulks] wedding flowers to go with truffle color
[In reply to]
Assuming that truffle is a somewhat mushroom colored brown I would run a bit shy of reds. There are a few nice roses to look into; one is the Sahara, a flesh tone, then leonidas, brown and gold two toned. Clear ocean is a beautiful soft cream. Virginia is a huge ivory with a touch of pink on the outer edges. Latin Lady is a red inside with white on the outside of the petals. There is also a strain of roses with the family name of Curiosa that might strike a nice look in this case. They have a burnished quality to them Gypsy curiosa, sunny curiosa, pink curiosa..etc. To show up against the dresses the color should be either much lighter or brighter than the dresses. Think sort of as if you were to take a black and white picture. Do you think it would show? Another suggestion I might make to you would be to continue the use of cream calla lilies and mix a few into the rose bouquets which would help them to pop a bit. If cost is a big factor here just make them into small perfect nosegays and go with the less is best quality philosophy. Afew perfect and refined mini callas in each could make a really elegant statement.Good luck and Happy planning! Sue of Hobart's Fine Florals http://www.hobartsfineflorals.com
