Burgundy pom pom Dahlia, white tulip, mini calla lily combo?

My colors are hunter green with chocolate and ivory accents. Any thoughts?





Here is a picture of the pom pom I am thinking of:

Burgundy pom pom Dahlia, white tulip, mini calla lily combo?
Burgundy and hunter green are colors that sound bad together, but actually work great, they're very rich and dark together, nice. I'm not sure about the chocolate though...where and how will that be used? Your bouquet sounds like it will look lovely.





Edit: thanks for the extra info. If you were thinking of switching up the color in your bouquet, how about incorporating the hunter green instead of the burgundy? It would get you away from the "christmas" type look, and pull out the girls dresses color. I carried in my bouquet accent flowers in the color of my girls dresses (soft yellow). Then I had accents of Ivy green on my centerpieces. Maybe you just have one too many accent colors? Skip the burgundy and stick with chocolate, hunter green, and ivory.
Reply:it would look cute with the ivory dress, but not with the hunter green color scheme. i would say no.
Reply:I'm a florist, and I've seen a lot of odd flower combos... but a dahlia is a very "eye demanding" flower... and they're very fragile... they will wilt and fall apart VERY easily... so you'll need to becarful with them. Their are other flowers that are 'big' that are eye catching, that aren't so 'eye demanding' and aren't Christmas... Calla Lilly's, roses, stargazers, Stephanus, bear grass, eucalyptus, alstromeria, heather all come in a wide variety of colors and they all came in many different sizes.... good luck!
Reply:I love it. I'd go without the white tulip though...you already have solitary flowers (the calla lillies) and the mix of a sphere and tube would just be sooo cool.





For little "filler" flowers, why not try green hydrangeas?
Reply:do you have a picture of your dress and the bridesmaids dresses? I am not a huge fan of green and red - but it could be nice if it was done right - so I don't want to say no!!!
Reply:I love all the dresses you've chosen! They're beautiful.


I kind of agree with your mother about the Christmas thing though...





What about a pink dahlia? I think that would look really nice.

The other option would be to go the same flowers as the bridesmaids or to go with the green ones in your centrepiece.
