Well, I suppose it's not a crisis- but I'm having a tough time deciding. We're having a tented reception outside and our theme is we just want everyone to have fun and don't want it to feel like a traditional wedding. Our colors are turquoise and apple green. The links posted below are the actual colors and will be used for the tables linens, each table will have a green table cloth and a turquoise table runner.

Our problem is with the flowers. Should we use hot pink or white flowers for our centerpieces?
Wedding color crisis... well sort of?
It depends on what kind of look you're going for. White flowers will be more subtle. The pink will be very vibrant. Either will be beautiful. If it was me I would go for the pink, but I'm not really all that subtle.
Reply:I love those white flowers, they're not your typical centre piece flowers and would look great with your vibrant linens.
I dont like the pink rose, if you going for none traditional I'd avoid roses all together. The Cala lilly is very exotic and would look good but you may find all that brightness is very overpowering.
Reply:I love the idea for the brighter colors...I would go for mostly white flowers, and then use the hot pinks as accents. The two pink flowers you showed, especially the cally lillies, I think will work really well as accents while the white will tie everything together color-wise. I hope it's wonderful!
Reply:I would go with the white ones. I think they will look pretty next to your colors. You don't want too many bright colors competing with each other. Maybe do purple flowers with white if you want some color. Green/turquoise/purple is a pretty color combination. Maybe some hydrangeas in there or something.
If you have your heart set on the pink and white it would look nice too.
Reply:PINK all the way! I think the delicate white ones would just get lost in the other bright colors, and you pay enough for flowers that you want them to be seen! Besides, with all the brights together, I think it will be so fabulous, and totally original. You're like me, not afraid of color. Def not 'traditional' and it does have more of a casual feel...almost tropical in the colors....I bet it will be gorgeous!
Reply:hot pink, it would be a bright fun feel. you could still add some whites into them but i really like the idea of useing those 3 colors together. i'm guessing that pink is what your really want but your afraid it will be too much, go with your gut and you will be happy with the results. those colors go great together.
Reply:Personally I like the white ones. Their gorgerous. And the stems compliment the green very nicely.
I like the pink flowers too. But I think it would be to many colours going on in one place. And the white flowers would be a nice smoother.
It all looks so beautiful!
Reply:go whatever color your dress is white/cream/ivory. you need a common color settle the brightness. that way it looks elegant rather than just everywhere. love that your going with offbeat colors! i bet it will be beautiful!
Reply:White!!!
But then again it your own personal choice. I would choose the White, pink would be overdoing it. The green and turquoise are vibrant enough to make a statement.
Reply:omg u picked the same colors that me and my fiance picked, the girls are wearing the green and the guys are wearing the blue
Reply:Wow, bright. I like the white. Classic and clean.
Reply:I'd go with the white ones.... otherwise it's going to be too much color and look messy.
Reply:Both combinations would look great!
You should use the hot pink flowers if you want a more fun, vibrant look. The hot pink flowers will contrast nicely with the table linens. (My roommate decorated our living room in these colors. It's very trendy and girly, and we love it.) Keep in mind that these colors (because they are trendy) might look more dated in 20 years when you're looking at your wedding photos. However, if you don't want a traditional wedding feel, this would be the way to go.
The white flowers would be more traditional. If you want a more formal feel to your reception, already feel you're being "risky" enough with the turquoise and apple green, or want decorations that will look nice to both younger and older guests, then choose the white flowers. I really like the orchids shown in the picture. They would still look young and modern when used as centerpieces but would lend an air of refinement to the tables.
Good luck, and I hope this helps!
Reply:I think the white flowers create a clean and fresh look. They will look great against the turquoise and apple green. Bold color choices, but they look great together!I think letting the bold colors of the linens be the big punch of color is the best idea, the pink flowers would detract from it, in my opinion.
Are you doing your own arrangements? I'm just guessing because of the site showing the pink flowers. I did mine, I used a company called 2G Roses (they have more than roses).This is their site:

They flowers were amazing and so was their customer service staff. Prices were great, I can't tell you how happy I was. Check them out if you are a do-it-yourself kind of bride!
Reply:White..they will 'pop' against your green and turquoise and give them a crisp look...I'm afraid hot pink won't have the color impact and since the apple green and turquoise make a strong color statement, the pink will clash....if you want to introduce some color, use a touch of pale yellow.....both apple green %26amp; turquoise have yellow in them, so the hint of pale yellow will not clash and it may add the bit of color in the flowers you seem to want....but have the predominate flower color white.....good luck.
