Hi

I would agree cream is a good option and then try and introduce some ribbon or dimontie sprays/pins.

urghhhhh! I can see in my minds I the colour!! I was a bridesmaid for a good friend of mine many moons ago and we (there were8 of us!) had to wear these floofy dresses in that colour...
We had white bqs, roses + gyp. I wouldv'e preferred ranunks in white but hey not my wedding!!
If you go pale pink...go REALLY pale in my opinion. Personally I'd still stick to white. A yummy mix of ranunks and freesias with a touch of silver wire. (This is a 'cold' colour so methinks silver would look good.) If she wants colour you could always add a touch with pearls in the aqua colour?

hey,
i am in full agreement of the white/cream, theres lots of accessories in a turquoise colour these days, bullion wire, beads, diamante style sprays, feathers etc, so that u can incoporate the colour of the dress.

personally i like the fgreen rose or the rose that is green with pink centre (forgot the name now) mixed with bouivardia, freesia, spray roses or like you i do like pinks with greens. whites are very classic but i am going more towards colour lately. Have done quite a few green weddings last year and got some coming up this year too. good luck with whatever you decide

oooh yes sweet avalanche might work quite well with it, nice and subtle. I personally like turq and cerise but most brides would have a fit if you suggested that!!
