Blend or Pop Part II

Throughout the planning process, I always envisioned walking down the aisle to Chris on the big day on the arm of my Father while carrying a bridal bouquet like this:

I always have been and always will be in love with the large rounded white bouquet. It's so classic and timeless, no one can argue with that. However, back in January, I wrote this post when my thoughts began to stray from the white bouquet. April at blu sky designs pointed out that the white bouquet might blend into my white dress in the photographs. Thus, the idea to carry a bouquet that "pops" was put into my head.
I pushed those thoughts to the back of my head because I had yet to find a bouquet with a "pop" that matched our color scheme.....until today.
My fabulous co-worker Steph (wedding planner extraordinaire) placed the spring/summer 2008 the knot magazine. On page 23 I saw this:

(magenta dahlias)

Double the size and subtract the bulky plum ribbon bow-tie and send this picture to our florist, please. And THEN my eyes drifted further up the page to an EVEN MORE to-die-for bouquet. A little lighter and softer, this bouquet is made up of pink, lavender, and deep purple dahlias along with lavender and pink parrot roses. Annnd of course there is no on-line picture of it! Until I find one, the question remains:

To blend? Or pop? I know that there are a lot of new readers out there (since I posted about this original topic in January) and I would love to know if you're going with the classic white bouquet or letting your colors pop. Share.
