It's your wedding sweetheart but in my opinion I would defo stick with the lilies if this is what you've always wanted. Again, personally I'd go with something sophisticated for the bridesmaids so what you've just chosen would work very well.
Anytime you need some help just ask. Always happy to help.

Thank you so much Linda, means alot that people on here help.:D Am going to bob off and feed my little angels but then I will have a night looking on the net and trying to piece it all together.

Thank you everyone x

with shocking pink detail instead of white


Theses have got to be my fave, ask for shocking pink ribbon and buttons:D

if you cant find the perfect dress, why dont you go for a black one and use something like these to help you tie in the pink theme? even a silver dress i think would be lovely with any of these.

another idea i had was that you could put the ladies that will suit the pink dress in the pink dress with black accessories, and the lady that wont suit into a black dress with pink accessories?

Hi rach,

As you can see from the pics, I LOVE hot pink and had it for my wedding! I thought it worked really well even though my dress was a big one too (it's hard to see on the pic). My two big bridesmaids wore different dresses in the same fabric, like linda suggested to you. They were mori lee dresses in 'raspberry' and my little ones wore similar dresses to each other too, but slightly different. My little ones were 8 and 10 (twins) and I thought the flower girl worked well with them despite my initial worry they may be getting too old to carry it off!

I just thought it may help for you to see it all together to get an idea of how the whole picture looks (and of course to reminisce about my day-haha!)

Thanks rach. Your dress is absolutely stunning!

What about something like these? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hot-pink-bridesmaid-prom-evening-dress-8-10-12-14-16-18_W0QQitemZ270451609919QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Wedding_Clothing?hash=item3ef82c113f&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14

The seller also does other styles in the same colour and if you check they are the same fabric, that could work well. They also state they can do cravats, flower girl dresses etc, but it says these dresses each come with a free shawl, which I'm sure you could have made cheaply into cravats/ a sash for your flower girl to ensure the perfect match!

Hi there, I just wanted to say that I love the hot pink! I would have had it for my wedding but my friend is having it for hers in a year so we went ofr black satin bridesmaid dresses in different styles but the same colour and fabric. I'm getting married at 4.30pm in December so it will be dark and I now want more of an evening ball feel. My flowergirls have got plum coloured dresses from Debenhams and my dd the same but in ivory and all of them have got white fur capes. My ushers, best man have got wine/burgundy ties and my H2B ivory to match myself and dd. Hopefully it will all look good together but not too uniform. Good luck with finding your dresses! Tiger xx

Just wanted to show you this using the hot pink.



See how the brides dad is wearing a VERY hot pink tie.



The bridesmaid is in a short hot pink dress. Flowers are quite strong and architectural using pinks and oranges.
