Wedding Bouquet help

[SuLi]

Hi everyone!

I am completely flower-illiterate and would love get some opinions on the bouquet that I'm considering for when we elope in October. I've always loved calla lilies, but I'm torn between going for an all white bouquet or something with color. Here are three examples of bouquets that I absolutely adore -- to me, they are simple, but elegant and classic:

This is the dress that I'll be wearing, the J. Crew "Gracie" gown:

Thanks for your help!!!

Ohhh, number three the golden calla lilies! Gorgeous, and they just scream October to me!

Of course, I live in Michigan, where October means the trees are bursting with beautiful colors just like that. Also my favorite time of year!

I also love the third one, but I tend to like bouquets that are one solid, bold color.

Yep, I totally agree with Lee!

Another vote for #3! I really liked #2 as well, but it seemed much more spring-y to me!

Yet another for #3. The others are lovely too, but that one is the best. Your dress is very simple, so you can carry coloured flowers without it looking like too much.

#3! #3! Rah! Rah! #3!

I think for the autumn feel definitely no 3. They are gorgeous

I vote for #3, too. Beautiful with October light.
