These are the colors we're using for our reception...

...but they aren't looking like they're going to work very well for the personal flowers. FMIL is wearing an eggplant color, and my mom is wearing champagne. All the guys will be wearing black and ivory.

I don't really want a lavender bouquet and I think red might take focus away from my dress, so I was thinking maybe having a blush/white bouquet. My mom made the point that the other personal flowers that will be appearing in pics w/ me should probably match my bouquet rather than the reception.

My question is, would it look bad if all the personal flowers (my bouquet, bouts, corsages) and possibly the ceremony flowers (maybe some altar arrangements, nothing more) were white/pale colors like this?

Keep in mind, the ceremony and reception are in the same "room." We don't have any attendants, just 2 ushers to seat people, so that's not a consideration

I think the first bouquet would look fine with everything you described.
