MEN, MEN, MEN!!!
They are sooo funny... just when ya think they could give a rats-A about something like flowers....they surprise us and have all of the opinions in the world! Gotta love them!! If he is dead set on no Yellow... then I suppose you better make your man happy and not do yellow...I think you will get plenty of pop...and plenty of brightness without doing the yellow.(although I luv yellow and am with ya on it) I would make him happy. If he is anything like my FH he has pretty much let you decide most stuff.... I ran into something and he didnt care for it... sooo I gave him his way....for once... lol.... Good luck.. tell us what you decide.
