Need color input for upcoming wedding
My color palette is soft peach, soft pink and ivory. Just can't decide on the right roses for this rather pale palette. I don't want it to get too washed out. I rarely get a request for this palette (which I love) so I am having a difficult time.

Right now I'm thinking:
Prima Donna - peach
Sophie - pink
Vendela - ivory
and accents of Ilse spray.

But, I have never worked with Prima Donna and it's been a while since I've worked with Sophie. :help:

This wedding is very elegant and the colors need great depth if you know what I mean.
Thanks in advance.
 
I love those colors together too.. my thoughts would be Sophie may be a bit strong, Rosita Vendella or Faith might work better for the pink.

Sweet escimo is a beautiful even shade of light pink it opens way better than sophie...but is smallish unless you blow it open...would look fabulous with vendela and prima donna...

Thanks Boss but my supplier does not sell Eufloria. Don't ask me why because they are beautiful roses!

The Bianca Candy is a magnificent pale pink rose, just used it in a wedding this past weekend. Beautiful pale shade, beautiful shape and a nice light fragrance.

I just used Sahara a couple weeks ago. a nice ivory with a very pale pink to deep ivory cast . More beige than vendela. hth

Now not to hijack but I need a rose to compliment a watermelon red almost bordering on the old ribbon Valeria. tia

Love the smell of sophie. It's heavenly!

I was going to suggest Rosita Vendella as well. It's my new favorite pink as it photographs and opens so nicely. I've attached a pic of a wedding with a similar palette.

I know I ordered rosita vendellas, plain old vendellas, sophies for this. Not positive about the peach, but I can look it up if you are interested.

I just used Quicksand (which were substituted for Sahara)...they are a hair pinkier that Sahara though. I also love Katerina (similar to Sophie). Sometimes I use Porcelina sprays for that pale peach/ivory...they are a slightly larger spray

On the other note...I would love to know the watermelon rose variety name too!!! I just ordered them for this week's wedding (using my very technical "washed out reddish/pink" description). Luckily, my salesman is great at dechypering my terms. I'll post the name if it's on the wrapper.

not sure if it was my suppliers but our Osianas always blew the day we got them and then fell apart the next day. I refuse to use them at all.
Sahara is my favorite sand color ....

Huh, I don't see it as pink at all. When they open They are amazing!

Valeria seems orange to me. Maybe try dark milva,,,,
