April :
My colors are black and white. The girls will be in black chiffon dresses. They will be carrying white rose bouquets. We want to use pink as an accent color for like decorations at the reception and for the cake. My hang up is this…..Should I go with a pink rose cascade to stand out, have a mixture of pink and white or should I go all white like my girls? For the altar the flowers will be in white. For the pews we are using a 3 stem rose arrangement for selected pews most likely in pink. And once again the reception hall flowers will be in pink roses.
I just wanted to add we were going to do red, but our florist said it would be too dramatic. We are having a huge balloon display done by a lady who decorates for the Country Club at the reception. We planed on doing the balloons in black and white with a few reds thrown in for color. We were told we should go with pink and white wtih no black since it would lighten the color and not be so bold.

Ask your florist, they should be able to give you ideas.
i think that the pink will look better since your dress is white i assume you could do either all pink or with some white i did blue with accent of white
hello!
i would rethink the pink. i know you must love pink, i do to! however your fi may prefer RED.
this is a VERY popular color combo now.
RED, WHITE and BLACK.
VERY classy!
have fun and enjoy!
It sounds like the rest of the flowers for the ceremony are pretty well planned. I would go with a bolder pink for your bride’s maids flower bouquets. Maybe hot pink tiger lilies or roses…something along those lines It will really pop against their black dresses and create a nice contrast. Then as far as decorating…use a nice rosey/light pink mixed with white flowers. Your bouquet should be white, maybe with some light pink flowers.
My wedding colors were black, red and white. My bouquet was red roses with jewels scattered with the flowers, black ribbon on the stem and white criss crossing through the ribbon. My bridesmaids had White lilies and roses with
with ribbon and black ribbon criss crossing. Hard to explain. But it turned out really well. I didn’t think it was dramatic, I just thought it looked pretty classical.
I would include the pink in your bouquet as well. Otherwise the pink looks like you’ve thrown it in to the mix for no rhyme or reason. Having it in your bouquet gives it a reason for being there.
Use as much bright pink as you can, because the morbidity of the black dresses needs as much uplifting as you can do.
