Yesterday, I posted about patterned bridesmaid gowns, and for all of you out there who are loving the idea of a gown that isn't the same old boring solid number - here is a tip for you. Nothing runs a perfectly good patterned gown like a mixed color bouquet! It's just TO busy! So, if you are going to pick a wonderful patterned number for your girls, pick a classic yet modern single color bouquet for a perfect finishing touch.

For example, take a look at two of the JCPenney gowns I featured in that last post. Since both have a touch of red in them, I picked out a deep red rose bouquet. The effect - definite A+! It looks elegant, not to busy, and the solid color stands out nicely against the patterned background.
