Default Dress and bouquet

could I do a long stem bouquet of 4 large cala lilys with an ivory dress? I guess I am concerned with white flowers and an ivory dress. The ivory is very pale in the dress.

Naturally white flowers aren't going to be bleach-white. I'm sure it will look fine with your dress.

I think it would be fine! Just make sure the ribbon u tie it with is not going to blend in with your dress for pictures.

So you think ivory ribbon is bad? Should I use chocolate brown (color of brides maid dresses) for the ribbon, or a pretty green that would go with the stems??

I think ivory would be fine! I also think chocolate would be fine. And just another option, you could use green so that it matches the stems and just looks natural, like they aren't bound together at all.

I just found a few pictures.



I think the green makes the flower stand out. So now that I see it I think ivory ribbon would be fine.

You could also get your florist to tie some gold or silver wire around the stems with ivory beads..something that matches in with maybe your jewellery tiara or accessories?

I think calla lilies would work well with a pale ivory dress, like Suzy said, there is never any guarantee to the exact colour of fresh flowers they won't be perfectly white so it should work beautifully.

I think any of the ribbon colours you mentioned would be beautiful!
