I need some advice. We've hit a little... roadblock... My fiance knows a florist and asked her if she wouldn't mind making up a bouquet of flowers for me to see if I like the mix for my bouquet. She agreed and did a good job. Their were a few things I wanted to tweak but otherwise I liked it. Now my parents came to visit the other day and they have been offering to buy us our flowers which makes me very happy They took me to Memorial florist and gardens and had me talk to the consultant there. After talking to her she had given me so many ideas to think about and I told her I would bring back my fiance before setting an order. When my fiance heard I added a particular color he didn't like (HONESTLY I DIDN'T KNOW!) and he got all moody with me and told me he didn't like how I went from wanting all the bouquets super bright, including mine, to all the bouquets, now with the "ugly" color that doesn't fit, and my bouquet completely different (more whites and babt blue. I want my wedding BRIGHT Our main color is Royal blue (and white obviously). I wanted to add in some Orange (like for tiger lillys) and Magenta (saw some cute flowers that color and he thought it would be nice in "dabs" and for favors). The bouquet his friend made had Orange, had white, had blue, had purple and a lighter pink but we could always change that. The one that I saw for the girls was Orange, Magenta, Purple, and Yellow. He hates yellow. He thinks that I should go with the original ones his friend made and ditch the ones that have the yellow. No, he cannot get over this for some odd reason. He also thinks I should stick with the bright boquet, which I agree with... although I thought it would be nice to have more white roses in it and either magenta carnations or magenta roses but since I'm a petite girl he thinks it will be overwhelmingly big next to me... AHHH! lol What do you guys think???

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.

It's good to know my husband isn't the only picky man out there! You know I went through almost 10 bridesmaid dresses before we could agree!

What if you both compromised (good practice for marriage)? What if you did your bouquet just as you want it (and do keep in mind the overall size can be overwhelming if you are petite - pictures will be the dead giveaway) and do what he wants with all the bridesmaids bouquets. A little yellow never hurt anyone. If you really aren't that set on yellow, than I think it's probably good to just throw that one out - there are SO many colors to choose from.

It's great that he has opinions, but to reduce stress, it's good to communicate before and know what each other's expectations are from the start. Guys do tend to feel left out if we assume they don't care.
Good luck!
