I think I found my bouquet. Our colors are black, silver and wine and the calla lilies are not quite wine color but I think it can pass. What do you all think?

Complicated Woman · #2 01-19-2006, 01:21 AM

That looks like it will go perfectly with your colors. I love the rhinestone holder. Gorgeous!

absolutely gorgeous.

ljeagle · #7 01-19-2006, 02:26 AM

I love that rhinestone band! I wounder how it would look with roses. Great choice...

syringa · #8 01-19-2006, 02:28 AM

I love the clean-lined look of calla lilies and the color is beautiful. So is the rhinestone holder.

PlanetClaire · #9 01-19-2006, 02:47 AM

They are gorgeous!

I would be cautious about them with wine colouring. What in the wedding is wine coloured? Dresses or table accessories?

I think you'd really need to hold them up against the colour you are using just to be on the safe side.

ljeagle · #10 01-19-2006, 02:54 AM

I wounder where u could get this rhinestone band?

sparklesweetie · #11 01-19-2006, 03:18 AM

Lol, Lj, I was going to ask the same thing. If it sparkles, it has my attention (as per my sn) hehe. I want one!!!!

Jacqueline · #12 01-19-2006, 01:16 PM

Marrying_the_Good_Husband · #13 01-19-2006, 01:19 PM

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

Lizbet · #14 01-19-2006, 02:28 PM

I think the flowers are gorgeous!

bebe · #15 01-19-2006, 03:42 PM

I bet you could use inexpensive rhinestone bracelets from a place like Claire's or The Icing. The one thing my florist warned me about colored callas is that the color isn't guaranteed. The hue and vibrancy of callas varies greatly based upon weather conditions; sun, rain, air quality. That wasn't a big deal to me, but if you are set on a precise shade, it's something to think about!

Here is another bouquet option for those flowers. I found this when I started my wedding planning. I wanted these bouquets sooooo bad, but changed the BM dresses to black from my original color so I had to change my flowers.

And this was the bout I wanted to match:

Marge129 · #16 01-19-2006, 04:09 PM

I like that, Chacha... and bebe's choice, too!

TheaterDiva1 · #17 01-19-2006, 04:14 PM

I love the flowers!

The only thing giving me pause is the rhinestone holder - it may be too much. I would wrap them in a black of silver ribbon (maybe intertwine both colors?).

lovici · #18 01-19-2006, 06:19 PM

those are beautiful! I find the rhinestones add a special touch to the monochromatic colour of the bouquet since the look you seem to be goingfor is simple elegance...i love callas...esp the colour you have in the picture
I would keep the stems long so you can hold it as an arm bouquet. I find with callas, if you cut the stems short, you lose the effect....
you can even add more rhinestones done the stem if you leave the stems longer...it'll be beautiful! or you can tie ribbons down the stem ballerina style where it's criss-crossed all the way down (I would probably use black satin or silver satin) instead of the rhinestones if you find it too much

Lieagle and Sparkle,

The cuff it is a stretchy bracelet and I already have a three inch wide one from my grandmother who passed away. The only ting is it is missing one of the crystals but I figured I could keep that side towards the back so no one will see it. I also was tossing around the idea of putting two of these together http://www.hsn.com/cnt/prod/default....*j00044*656902 but I have been kind’a put off by it because they have been given a few bad reviews. I have taken a few jewelry classes so I know I can make the bracelet smaller in circumference but I would rather not change my grandmother’s cuff if at all possible. I’m sure I can find a rhinestone cuff simple enough as Bebe said.

Those are beautiful bouquets too

. I like the boutonnieres I will ask my FH what he thinks about it to. Thanks for the tip Bebe some variance won’t bother me but I’m glad you told me ahead of time so I know what to expect.

PC,

Wine is more of our accent color I more than likely won’t be having BM’s because all my close friends are guys. I consider my Bliss girls my honorary bridesmaids,

that’s why I value all you’re opinions so much. The only things that will be wine colors far is the ties for the men, the bows on the back of the chairs, and the flowers. I’m sure we will use wine accents in a few other places but not much more. The place we are getting married and having the reception at already has a ton of colors it is light and bright so we don’t need to add much color. But I will keep in mind that it can become overwhelming and that I should be sure to compare it thankx

I'm in!! Whoo-hoo!

SuzyBride · #23 01-20-2006, 12:23 AM

I think the bouquets Bebe posted are fabulous! As for the rhinestone holder, what about a hair thingy? I actually have one similar that is on a ponytail holder but it is alot smaller I'm sure.

allison · #24 01-20-2006, 12:30 AM

I love the color and think the flowers (and rhinestone holder) are absolutely beautiful!!

rosefeather · #25 01-20-2006, 01:32 AM

I'm not a big fan of callalillies but I happen to love them in that colo. Both of those bouquets posted are beautiful

. The rhinostones on the first one just add a little something. I like that idea
