karma: 8 |  What color bouquet should i have?
I originally thought i would have a fuschia / hot pink bouquet - all monochromatic - here are the inspiration pics...     BUT now that i posted my planning thread and decided to use my dark red/burgundy shoes and purse - i think i am making a mistake - it is the ONLY place i would have the fuschia/hot pink -weird, right? i think i should go dark BUT will dark red /burgundy flowers look weird if it's not roses? do orchids even come that dark?   What do you girls think?

I know I've seen the really dark red orchids...but I have no idea if they'd be available, fresh, for your wedding...I'm googling...but haven't found much as far as origin yet.
I have also seen some really gorgeous dark red, almost black, callas...what about those?
Here is a website that I found...for Hawaiian orchids... Orchids and Orchid Plants, Tropical Flowers from Hawaii's Premiere Orchid Growers, Orchid Care and Growing Orchid Tips, Orchids Wholesale and Tropical Flowers Wholesale
There are quite a few red/cherry color variations under the Cattleya section...
These are really unique looking also: Hawaii Orchids - Sharry Baby
It might get you started?

What about black magic or baccarra roses? Those are almost a maroon/burgundy color.

I'm pretty sure you can get orchids that dark. I know you can get the black magic roses that are super dark.
I would call the florist ASAP. Sometimes it takes 2 weeks or more to special order flowers, and you are getting close missy!
She/he might also be able to offer some suggestions.
I think you would still be ok with red. I don't know about the pinks with the burgundy.
If BDW has taught you nothing else, it is that you go for what you want!

I don't know much about flowers but I don't think it would look weird if it's not roses. I think the darker would look better than the fuschia/pink ones, but it's a nice bouquet.
