bridesmaids dresses????

[lanabanana]

Okay, here's my dilema. I'm doing a Christmas theme wedding and planning on utilizing all the poinsettias my church will have on the stage area. I think I'm probably going to go with black dresses for the bridesmaids - and considering just letting them pick their own style. But I have bridesmaids dresses from when I'd previously been engaged but had called it off - they're red and from David's Bridal. If we use the red dresses then I wouldn't want to use red poinsettias on the stage as well and would have to find something else for flowers (and the poinsettias are free for me to use.)
So I guess here's the question....
black dresses and use all the free poinsettias or...
red dresses and find other flowers?????

My mom wants me to use the red ones because I have 3 of the 4 bridesmaids ones and would just need a new jr bridesmaid one. The girls like the idea of the black and being able to pick their own style.

Help!!!!!

What if you did BOTH??!?! Also, I do not think you have to change the flowers if you have red dresses!!!

I'm afraid that the red dresses (David's Bridal Apple) and the color of red poinsettias won't be the same color and it will all be too much red on the stage. Do you not think so?

No I think it will be fine!

How long our your dresses? Generally, Poinsettias are on the floor, etc.

I think you could do red. Would the dresses work with maybe a black sash, to break it up a bit?
