wedding flowers help?

Has anyone else found it difficult choosing flowers? I just think so many are beautiful. I want roses to be the main flower consistently through the day to stick with the classic and romantic feel the day seems to be set up for. My centrepieces are going to simple bouquets of roses http://www.arenaflowers.com/files/Image/arenaflowers.com/bespoke/weddings/bouquets/bridal_bouquets/weddings-peach-roses-bridal-bouquet-lg.jpg except the table numbers will be attached and a large gold ribbon will be around the vase The color scheme we are working with is gold, ivory with accents of pinks/peaches The ceremony is in a garden and our arbor is covered with greenery and we will have peach and ivory roses around it as well For my bouquet I was thinking of something like the picture that is the fourth down on the left http://www.flowersbyjoanneatlanta.com/Bouquets.html I like how the Calla lilies look around the peach and ivory roses. For those who are better at envisioning flowers what else would look good with peach and ivory roses? I have spent a lot of time on google images and wouldn't mind seeing more options. I don't want to settle if you know what I mean I am debating if I want the bm's carry a single rose or a mini bouquet or wear a corsage, and the gm's and grooms boutonnieres will be roses Suggestions are welcome and if you would like to share any stories about picking out your wedding flowers please do so I have never watched the Bachelor, as for timing we have approximately 4 months, we know our florist though and she will make sure we have everything when we need it and let me know when she needs decisions

1. You certainly do have a big decision on your hands. Is your wedding right around the corner or do you still have time? This can be a difficult decision due to the numerous beautiful domestic and foreign flowers florists now carry. Unless you are an interior designer, it can be difficult to envision how and where you want the placements for the big day. My suggestion to you is to go through the numerous bridal magazines that highlight wedding set ups and see what strikes you visually. You may be able to get an idea from some of those pictures. I'm sure you will be striving for the most beautiful scene imaginable, but remember that it will be gorgeous no matter what you choose as the end result. Flowers make all weddings beautiful!
2. Your choice for your bouquet looks very traditional and elegant in style. I think it would be fine to have the bridesmaids wear corsages, but if you decide against that, then: Have the bridesmaids carry down mini bouquets. I really feel that it will look a bit odd if the bridesmaids come down the aisles carrying a single rose or such. After all, your wedding should not resemble TV's THE BACHELOR.
