I thought I was organised but now I'm just confused. My BM are wearing sage green dresses and will carry light pink/hot pink roses... I originally had my heart set on hot pink and orange roses with green berries but i'm not so sure any more... would I better off carrying the same colour as the girls with the berries and maybe some white. A girl at work has suggested hot pink and red with the berries... Please what do you think would be a good colour combination. I would like to be a bit different from the BM's... Thank you
Any pictures would be appreciated

I like your original idea - THe orange will set you apart from your BM's and it's a bit different to the usual white or ivory.
I'm having a sage green sort of colour for my girls and we'll all have deep red roses with some greenery. I chose the red rose because it's my favourite flower and it seems to work really well.
Try googling some pictures - Just go to google images and search for 'rose bouquet's or 'pink and orange bouquets' or something - You'll come up with lots of pics and it might help to decide what you like.
I think go with whatever you love.

So, if I had the girls with their pink roses, myself with hot pink & orange roses plus berries, pink petals sprinkled on the tables and pink flower arrangements on the main bridal table and then only white flowers on our chocolate cake it won't look odd?

I would make your flowers either light pink and white plus berries, or just one of these colours with berries. Because your girls are having a hot pink, I would keep your bouquet in the lighter shades to go with a white/ivory dress.
Another idea is that you could have the same colours as the bridesmaids but have your bouquet made in a different shape such as a teardrop.

I'm having hot pink for myself and a mix of lighter pinks for my BM's. I think the pink will look great against an Ivory dress.

I have my girls wearing dresses similar to a sage green with Pink lillies(ATM) and i will be wearing a white dress with a bouqet of pink roses and white lillies. Thats if i dont change my mind beforehand

I like this idea, or just add in some ivory/white flowers into your bouquet but keep the main flowers the same

Mmm... I think I will be changing the colours... I've seen a gorgeous picture of white flowers for the BM's and then light pink, mauve and white for myself (with maybe a touch of berries

)
