I am getting married in July of 2007. I have my bridesmaids wearing navy but am totally stumped on what color flowers to have. Initially I was going to go with yellow and white flowers calla lilies and roses. I keep looking at it and feel like I need to go with more color or just stick to white flowers. I just am not sure I like the yellow as the stand out color by itself. any suggestions?
In a wedding, what color flowers would go with navy dresses?
There's 2 color combos that I love with navy
1. The deep deep yellow of spider mums and roses
2. Pink in any flower
Reply:Navy is a very dark color (like black) and so any splash of color looks good with it. The white is definitely a nice contrast, but the yellow should be nice as well. I wouldnt do yellow without white to offset however.... some people's skin tones dont like yellow.
Reply:Get red roses and white lillies and Yellow. Go with multiple colors and it will make the bouquet even more gorgeous!
Reply:actually, light orange/pink would be nice too. :) especially because it is summer.. good luck, im sure it'll be Beautiful~~
Reply:bright pink, yellow and orange!
Reply:Go with the white color
Reply:Red, white and light blue.
Reply:Red roses would be beautiful against the navy dresses. Or just a creme colored flower.
Best Wishes.
Reply:I think cream goes well with navy.Good luck.
Reply:Navy is really neutral. I would do a variety of colors. But if you are looking for just one, I think that yellow would be great.
Reply:White, or off white
Reply:Actually, white roses may compliment, but look into Hydrengas, Iris, Orchids, and delphiniums. To name a few...You want the richer blue to accent the arrangements with lighter colors in the background. The actual arrangment should be thought through depending on the linen arrangements for the tables.
Reply:I think a splash of mixed colours looks beautiful for a summer wedding - I've tagged some bouquet ideas for you to have a look at - I also think lavender or blue flowers would be really nice.
Hydrangeas would be really pretty and summery . Try tone on tone - use different shades from the same colour range to add extra depth and interest to your arrangements try Hydrangeas, Delphinium and Lavender together -and you can get these as pot plants or as cut flowers; they come in blues, whites, pinks and pale green and their huge flower heads have real impact.
Reply:pink
peach
lilac
white
lt blue
Reply:I think your flower choices were beautiful. You can also go with another shade of blue with white. Yellow is the most complementary color however.
Reply:red and white
Reply:You can get anything to go with Navy blue. Since you're doing a wedding in July, you can get a lot of beautiful colors of flowers. I think that yellow would work really well--it would really pop when contrasted with navy blue dresses. Also, you could go preppy with pink or green flowers.
I would suggest getting a color wheel where you can see complementary colors, etc.
Best wishes!!
Reply:white or pink But i think you should definitely go with white
Reply:I think yellow would look best... but remember if your looking at flowers now ... the color changes in the season so you want to ask about that!
Reply:I would probably not have yellow. I like white, corals, pinks.
Have you consulted a florist? They're a great resource, bring a swatch of the fabric %26amp; you'll get a better idea of what goes.
Reply:Here is a list of flowers readily available in July (in season flowers are least expensive). I would look through Google images to look at the variations you'd find in the flowers. Navy can go with anything bright (think bright pinks, yellows, reds), but also muted colors work well, too (lavenders, greens, muted oranges/pinks). Given that you're going with a dark color for the 'maids, I would make their floral arrangements stand out, because in the summery months, brighter colors will pop in your photos and decor, etc., and with the dark dresses, you don't want too many muted/dark colors.
Congrats.

Reply:if it were my wedding i'd have them carry bouquets of wildflowers like small sunflowers, white and pink daisies, and lillies
Reply:lots of colors go with navy
peach
pink
yellow
white
mint green
Make sure you have a brightly-lit setting to offset the darkness of those navy dresses, otherwise your photos will have quite a dark effect. Bright flowers will also help.
Reply:I actually had navy dresses in my wedding as well and used pink, white with a few blue flowers in the bouquets and they turned out really nice. Yellow would also look very cute too maybe mixed with some white and pinks or reds.
Reply:red and white!! that would be soooooooooooo pretty!!! and then with the navy dresses... oooweee! how purdy!
Reply:White or red.
Reply:I had navy dresses for my wedding as well! I went with pale yellow, white and a lighter shade of blue and I think it went really well together. Congratulations and good luck!
Reply:Go with white calla lillies and hot pink roses.
Reply:red roses and green tulips
Reply:slate blue %26amp; cream (hydrangeas %26amp; calla lillies or day lillies)
or
pink %26amp; dove gray (pink roses %26amp; hydrangeas)
or
pale yellow %26amp; cream (daisies %26amp; rinuculus)
or
champagne %26amp; slate blue (hydrangeas %26amp; roses)
Navy is a lovely choice btw! Very chic. And gray or metallic tones are very hot next season.
Hope this helps!
Reply:First of all, what color hair do your attendants have????
That needs to be considered.
I would not go with yellow or red at all.
My first choice with navy would be carnations tipped in light blue....like an aqua/baby blue. That was a very popular combination of colors for Easter corsages in the 1960s and 1970s.
My second choice, would be magenta with the navy which would give you a larger variety of flowers. Magenta Star Gazer lillies would really brighten up that Navy! You could also accesorize with other magenta items at the altar and at the reception.
Navy can be very stunning IF you select the correct accent colors. You may also want to decorate with silver, too. Silver necklaces for your attendants...silver decorations as well.
It will be a lovely wedding....navy is a classic color just accesorize very carefully. Enjoy your wedding!!!

Place to order wedding flowers online....?
I need pink flowers..not really set on what kind, for my bouquet, maids bouquets, and centerpieces. I wanted to know if there are any places online to order from.

This will at least give you ideas on the hundreds of pink flowers and combinations that are available to you. Write down a list of what you like and what you don't.
Personally my next step would to to go to a florist nearby you that you trust. Sit down and ask if they have any of the flowers in the shop that you could see, live, or if it could be ordered in. Not sure why you want to order them online, maybe you are having a destination wedding (?), but I would talk to your local person and see if they can get in touch with a florist where are you going to, and work with them to get what you want.
Sometimes ordering online you pay HUGE fees and are not guaranteed that what you ordered is what will actually show up at the doorstep. They usually have a 'substitution policy' which you must agree to, that if they cannot fill your request they will substitute flowers of their choosing - not your choice, and usually not even in the same price range (they'll charge you for roses and send daisies).
Have fun picking your flowers, but be careful with how you order them. Good Luck!
Reply:I recommend www.rosesource.com
I bought 250 roses for my son's wedding last year. The price has gone up since '06, but at that time I bought 250 for $160! They have LOTS of flowers, not just roses. I was able to track my shipment from Miami all the way to my home in Michigan via Fed Ex. It was free shipping too! They give you pointers on their site as to how to care for them.
Another good one is www.growersbox.com - I have not used them, but they get good reviews on other sites. They also have LOTS of flowers - not just roses.
Yet another one is www.bigrose.com, but I think they only have roses.
I LOVE real flowers. Sometimes people think you can save by using silks, maybe you can, but I only paid 64 cents each for a real roses and I have seen some silks for $3 each.
Two more options: Costco.com sells bulk flowers as does Walmart I believe. If you live by a Walmart you can also order them right from the store (a special order) and they are cheap!!!
The only drawback.......it takes LOTS of time to assemble them. I didn't do bouquets - I wouldn't even go there....we only used them for the reception and church and rehearsal dinner. But, if you know someone that can do this - all the better! Again, it's stressful because they have to come last minute (for freshness) - but it's worth it and I would do it again in a minute. 250 roses at the florist would have been $1,000 and we only paid $160!
Good luck!

What makes a memorable wedding table for guests. I am wanting to use tulle, flowers and candles NEED HELP???
I am having round (14) tables seating 10 each. I don't want a cluttered table, already ordered disposable camera's. Want to use tulle, flowers. But can't find any good pictures of great tables, any suggestions? Am having a black %26amp; White theme.
What makes a memorable wedding table for guests. I am wanting to use tulle, flowers and candles NEED HELP???
What about a large clear glass bowl filled with water. Then put foating candles and white flowers in it and arrange the tulle around the base of the bowl. Scatter flower petals around the tulle. This way you have a stunning centrepiece that won't clutter up the table.
You could use a large tall clear vase also and fill the bottom with black and white pebbles and have fish swimming around in it and then arrange tealight candles around the base with flower petals or glitter confetti scattered too.
I saw a wedding set up once and the fish in the centrepieces looking unreal and was such a talking point. They aren't expensive either if you go for black goldfish types or add a touch of colour to the table with a coloured fish.
best of luck
Reply:How about a tall candle in the middle, tulle around it (be careful though...you don't want it to catch fire (maybe use a glass hurricane for the candle), and sprinkle flower petals and a little confetti on the tulle. I agree with not wanting it too cluttered. In addition to the cameras you could also burn a cd of love songs...one wedding I was in used a picture of the bride and groom as a cd label sticker. You could also use some of the songs that you have picked out for the reception (first dance, father/daughter dance, etc...just not the chicken dance or the hokey pokey!!) lol Hope this helps and congratulations!
Reply:a memorable wedding table? ensuring your guests seated at each table have something in common! something to get the conversation flowing.
i like your idea of keeping your table simple and uncluttered! i wouldn't use tulle, instead of flowers what about a low bowl of floating candles? inexpensive, pretty, and uncluttered!
Reply:Hi. Yes, you don't want to crowd things too much. Remember that everyone needs room for plates, glasses, utensils, etc.
I would not have tulle for a centerpiece at all. If you want to ONLY stay with the black and white theme, then purchase some black vases and use white flowers - roses, baby's breath, etc.
One very nice accent for black and white is RED. I love red roses and it would look very elegant. You could put them in a WHITE vase.
Whatever you decide on.....I would keep it minimal a few flowers with some greens in a bud vase. Then you can put all of this on a mirror - say a 10" round mirror (since you are having round tables.) ....then put a few votives or tea lights around that! Very elegant!

How much is the average cost of wedding flowers?
It depends on if you have a florist do it, or if you have silk instead of real... etc.
I ordered mine through a wholesaler (beautiful mini-calla lillies and many of them)
Then my bridesmaids and I took a class on how to do flowers about 3 months before the wedding. It cost us a total of $300.
If you go with a florist I had quotes from $1000 to $2500. I know silk is also a cheaper way to go if you like those kind of flowers. Good luck, and happy planning.
How much is the average cost of wedding flowers?
We spent just over 700 for a big assorted arm bouquet for me, the bride, four smaller handheld bouquets for MOH and bridesmaids, about 5 corsages and 7 boutonnieres, and three floral arrangements (used at the church, then went on the head table at reception).
Reply:We searched forever for wedding flowers. Both girls were married within 11 weeks of each other. We ended up in our hometown instead of where they live now. The flowers were LOTS cheaper. We got what we wanted and saved half of what the others bid. Also ordered some of the flowers in bulk and used what we needed for bouquets and other flowers went in centerpieces etc. We did two weddings for under $2,000.00. We also took flowers from church to reception site and used them as centerpieces etc. Shop around. You will find what you want for the right price.
Reply:It depends on the florist, what kind of flowers you want and how many. Some florists may give you a discount depending on how much you purchased. I did 3 corsages and my bridal bouquet, all Roses and it cost me around $150. I received a discount on the roses.
Reply:Depends what you are going for really, some people decorate everything with flowers including the ends of the rows of pews at the church, which can be costly. I've kept mine pretty minimal and it's still costing me nearly £400. It's one of the most expensive parts of the wedding, but as we have budgeted elsewhere we felt it was worth it as the flowers really are beautiful
Reply:It depends on what season you get married in (availability of fresh flowers) and how many you want. A bride's bouquet is at least $100, and you can assume you will be paying at least $20 per corsage and boutteniere, not to mention the cost of arrangements for the altar. I had a June wedding, and did my silk flowers myself several months ahead of time. All of the stuff for all the flowers for my wedding cost less than $80, and I had the peace of mind knowing my flowers were done and knowing that I loved them. All my friends that ordered real flowers from a florist ended up seriously disliking them.
Reply:depends....I did only personal flowers (for wedding party) and they are mainly hydrangeas and roses.....most places quotes me at $700....they place I went with did it for $575. It would be more if you need ceneterpeices and ceremony flowers.

How do you know what flowers to pick for your wedding?
This is my first wedding and I don't know how to plan a wedding so I need to know how and what stuff to pick out.
How do you know what flowers to pick for your wedding?
Honestly, if you aren't dead set on any certain types of flowers, and you don't know a lot about wedding planning, I'd highly suggest asking around for references of great florists, and then go to the florst and talk about their ideas, and ask to see pictures of weddings they have done in the past. Tell them what you want the general look/feel of your wedding to be, and then see what they come up with. They are afterall, professionals.
Reply:Pick flowers that coordinate with your colors. To be honest, I think a bouquet of cream colored flowers look the best. Tasteful and not screaming out at you. When I married I originally chose cream colors and added some blue flower into the bouquet. When I saw it I did not like it and had them simply pull the flowers out. It was a beautiful bouquet! Simple and elegant. That, in my opinion, is always the best choice regarding the whole wedding. Congratulations!
Reply:theknot.com recently added a fantastic flower section. It talks about price ranges of flowers, scent descriptions, symbolisms, what seasons they are found in, etc. And they have a TON of photos. My advice is, just sit and look at as many photos from their flower galleries as possible. See what looks good with your colors...what you are naturally drawn to.
For a less expensive route, try to select flowers that are common in your wedding's season and in your part of the country.
There's no hard-and-fast rule about it-just do a lot of perusing of photos and find something you like, and something that suits your colors. Have fun with it!
Reply:I'm picking my favorite flowers. They're my favorite flowers b/c they're my favorite colors! Everything else is based on that.
Reply:you base your flowers on what colors are in the ceremony. like, what color are the bridesmaid dresses. just go to the florist and they'll recommend stuff to you based on your colors. I actually used Kroger for my flowers and they were gorgeous and quite a bit cheaper.
Reply:Choose your colors, and then choose what flowers go with those colors. So, if you choose lavender and yellow, you can have lavender roses, or yellow roses, or any other purple or yellow flower. If you choose orange and black, you can have pretty orange flowers. Talk with a florist and also consider price in your decisions. Also, consider artificial flowers, so you can use them again and again, and lend them out to your friends for their weddings.
Reply:There are a ton of sites you can search through for flower ideas. Try doing "wedding floral arrangements" on google and see if you can find any flowers you particularly like.
I would contact all of your local florist, set up a meeting of some sort, and see their portfolios of wedding arrangements they have done. You may actually switch colors if you like a certain flower but typically most women go pick flowers based on their colors they have picked. Once you have found the flowers you like figure out what you need, bouquets, centerpieces, how many, and then get prices from EVERYONE then go from there. You might realize you don't need a ton of centerpieces and you only want to do flowers for your bridal party.
Word of advice I wouldn't go hog wild with flowers though since they can get super super pricey and that can drain your budget fast. You can do nice simple arrangements for not a lot of money if you shop around.
I'm going to pass this site on because it's really neat for other planning ideas I wish I had had it when I had gotten married I would have done everything differently! It doesn't really go with the flowers but since you are new at the planning you might find it of some use!
Reply:you have to know what are the names of the flowers and you have to ask for some advise from your mum/dad or your friends.
Reply:There are many great websites online with pictures of wedding flowers, google and see what you can find that is similar to what you may like for your wedding. Also, look at bridal magazines for inspirational pics. If this doesn't help you, then go to a local florist (or get recommended florists) in your area to have a consultation with you to discuss types of flowers that are in and out of season during the time of your wedding and their costs. Hope this helps and congratulations!

Reply:I went with my favorite flowers. Daisies. My bouquet is white daisies and my bridesmaids will have yellow daisies. The groomsmen will have boutineeres coordinating with the bouquets. Its an outdoor garden wedding so we aren't getting more flowers than than. We also are going to go to our local farmers market and get some wild flowers to put in some vases at the food and drink tables. Its whatever you want to have and whatever you choose. Good luck on you decisions and congrats!
Reply:Ask your florist if you are using one.
Reply:If you go to www.theknot.com and click on "Planning" and then "Flowers" they have a floral guide that really helps. You can look by type of flower or by color, or you can look through the gallery of what other people have done. I find it very helpful.
Reply:Pick whatever you want. I love red roses, and wanted a very elegant wedding, so I am having only red roses.
Just think of a theme/color/idea you want, and go with it. If you want a fairy princess wedding, use lots of white and pink flowers, and run with it. If you want a elegant wedding, stick with more classic looks. If you want something fun and different, try a different color scheme, like mint and brown, or a fun theme, like casino night or something.
Do whatever YOU and YOUR FIANCE want.
Reply:your florist will help you. usually they will go with what is in season at the time of your wedding (which will also be the most economical) but if you like another flower, then most florists are able to get what you want when you want it.
Reply:Congrats! So, if you're not getting married around Vday, roses are a good way to go. Less expensive that most other flowers and classic beauty! When you meet with the florist, he/she can tell you what flowers are in season. Depending on the style, formal/casual, time of day, the florist can make suggestions if you ask.
Reply:I would pick out flowers that you like best. Florists can always dye the flowers to your color choice. :)

My G-mas Client (she does wedding flowers) Sent her a Bridel magezen page & wants the bouqte in it can u help?
I have no clupe what the magezeen is, The ad is for an Ann Taylor dress and it is inpossable to identafy the bouqute! She really wants it but...... so can you help?
My G-mas Client (she does wedding flowers) Sent her a Bridel magezen page %26amp; wants the bouqte in it can u help?
Wait - let me see if I have this straight. Your grandmother does wedding bouquets, and somebody sent her a picture of a bouquet from a magazine, and you don't know what magazine, or what issue, or what page, or what ad, but you want us here at Yahoo Answers to tell you how to make the bouquet?
It's Yahoo *Answers*, not Yahoo *Miracles*!
Reply:Hi. I'm confused.
If your grandma does wedding flowers, and her client sent her a picture of what she wants.....then your grandma (being that she has experience and has done this before) should be able to figure out what flowers they are.
I guess I don't understand what you want us to do.....identify flowers from a magazine ad? Again, if your grandmother does wedding flowers, she will know. That is why her client sent her the picture!

What is a good color for a bridesmaid dress for a beach wedding if I am having orange flowers?
Do a gorgeous blue--they are calling it "pool blue" or "baja blue" or azure....you could mix some ivory or cream colored flowers in with the oranges...
What is a good color for a bridesmaid dress for a beach wedding if I am having orange flowers?
Either go for something bright and contrasting like an Aqua Blue or use colours from the same side of the color wheel, like sand, brown or even yellow.
Reply:I would say a deep vanilla/cream color would look beautiful. Of course nothing close to white, you should be the only one in white. Maybe even a peach color.
Reply:look at the bridesmaids and pick colors that will flatter them. ask them what they would like to wear.
Reply:How about all rainbow looking...kind of like those gay pride flags? That would be original.....

What flowers would look good in a bouquet? (wedding in July)?
I'm having a july wedding, but I'm not sure what flowers to carry. I looked at flowers in season in the summer, and I can't find many that I like. My colors are red %26amp; white (any other colors to use would also be appreciated.....I need help)
Also, my maid of honor would like a different bouquet than the bridesmaids.....any help would be great. Thanks!
What flowers would look good in a bouquet? (wedding in July)?
daisies
Reply:roses
Reply:i would stick to red or yellow roses%26gt;
Reply:Red miniature carnations or roses, white Casablanca lilies,
yellow buttons, white bouvardia, purple limonium, or other combination of flowers, with springerhii or variegated ivy, in hand-tied bouquets, accented with jewel stems (hot on the market), using reds, whites, yellows, purples, just according to your budget. Your flowers can be all white or mixture -- hand-tied bouquets are pretty in July and less expensive. Also, the Peppermint Carnations are variegated Red/White, which can be used, or use all white bouquets with designed ribbons. There are so many combinations, white freesia is also beautiful in bouquets.
Look through your Bridal magazines and try to seek some combinations thereof before going to a florist. Unfortunately, I presently do all silk for weddings, as I do not have a cooler in my shop. The prettiest bouquets for summer, in my opinion, are the hand-tied using vibrant color -- One of my weddings I have designed, using Stargazer lillies, white mini carnations, variegated ivy, with hints of red roses, as were the church arrangements, however, the pew markers were single Stargazer's with variegated ivy and white ribbons. This was a September wedding. An August wedding, I used the white Casablanca lily, Sonia Roses (which can be red) with white heather and Springerhii, which is a light and airy greenry. This was an outdoor wedding. There are so many combinations, I only make the silk arrangements, as I offer flower packages for weddings, and if can help, please e-mail me at: eycflorals@yahoo.com -- my website is: www.eycfloralsandgifts.com -- it is new and still adding -- I don't have arrangements up yet, but soon. Thank you and wish you the best, and hope this helps.
Reply:As a wedding professional, I would suggest that you select a theme and color scheme that should consist of (3) colors. In selecting your flowers it should not only incorporate your color choice but also your theme. Work with your theme and the style of your wedding whether it is formal or semi-formal. These first steps will help you in deciding the style of your floral arrangements. Something that most brides do not know also is that each flower has a meaning. Our recommendation for colors red would be a tulip, peonies, tropical flowers such as a bird of paradise along with the bells of Ireland as greenery. To make a definite selection as far as your flower choice make sure that is represents you as a bride and is not a copy of someone elses wedding. Make it "Uniquely yours" no matter how non-traditional it may appear to you. The least inexpensive flowers are the flowers that are in season for the month of July, if you are choosing fresh flowers.
Reply:calalillies are very pretty and simple goes with any theme and dress
Reply:how about white lilies with just on spring of red hanging down very long.
Reply:When I got married I choose these colours. My dress was white with Burgundy flowers and for my flowers I had deep red coloured roses with a bit of green foliage. The name of my flowers were called black beauty (sounds awful, but they were lovely- they were a deep red colour) When you've chose your florist take a picture of the dress and take a colour sample with you. They should be able to do a colour match for you. Do the same for the bridesmaid. What about a smaller version of your for the bridesmaid and some cream ones for the maid of Honor?
Hope your day goes lovely whatever you decide

Reply:Yours- red roses with white babies breath (and greens w/ white ribbon wound around stems)
Hers- smaller white roses with 4 or 5 red roses (some babies breath) (and greens w/ white ribbon wound around stems)
Theirs- smaller white roses (and greens with red ribbon around stems)
Flower girl- White Hydrangea blooms (and greens w/ white ribbon around stems)
Reply:Roses, lilies, always work; carnations and daisies work and are cheap! Also, consider using you and your fiancee's favorite or birth month flowers.
Yours should be more elaborate, and have most white in it, wth a little red [ maybe one type of flower? ]
Bridesmaids' bouquets should have a little more red, and be slightly plainer [ never heard of maid of honor having ' better' bouquet than others, but it's your wedding ].
Flower girl should have small bouquet or basket,with maybe rosebuds and baby's breath for innocent childhood?
All groomsman should have same color flower boutonierre, not necessarily the same flower.
You could add pink, ivory, and/or lots of greenery [ my preference ], but don't let anyone talk you into blue or purple
[ will look blue in photos ] please!
Reply:If your wedding is in July and you are having red and white colors, stick to the patriotic theme and use red roses, white carnations and ivy vines! for the bridal bouquet. Go with red or white carnations for the bridesmaids, and groomsmen. the best man would get a red rose of course
Congrats! and good luck :}
Reply:Obvious answer would be roses any color but also suggest calla lillies, orchids, gebera daisies, lillies. It really depends upon your dress and the style of the wedding. The more modern it is the sleeker I would make the flowers. Single flower bouquets kept to one or two similar colors (say red and orange, etc.) The more traditional I would go with mixed bouquets of 3-4 types of flowers w/ base colors that go w/ your color theme, include some red into the bouquets from theme (not as base color) So Yellow or White lillies w/ a few roses and some orchids. Good luck !!!
Reply:take a swatch of your bridesmaid dresses in to your florist and look through the books/photos they have --- also take any pics you may have found and like with you to the florist they will talk with you and give you ideas based on your theme if you have one --- keep in mind you are paying for flowers but also for their ideas and suggestions -- only take 1 friend with you -- the one who will give you an opinion if you ask her. good luck %26amp; congrats
Reply:how about red and cream roses in hand tied for bridesmaid and do you could have the same flowers added with a few more in a shower type bouquet?

Hers- smaller white roses with 4 or 5 red roses (some babies breath) (and greens w/ white ribbon wound around stems)
Theirs- smaller white roses (and greens with red ribbon around stems)
Flower girl- White Hydrangea blooms (and greens w/ white ribbon around stems)
Reply:Roses, lilies, always work; carnations and daisies work and are cheap! Also, consider using you and your fiancee's favorite or birth month flowers.
Yours should be more elaborate, and have most white in it, wth a little red [ maybe one type of flower? ]
Bridesmaids' bouquets should have a little more red, and be slightly plainer [ never heard of maid of honor having ' better' bouquet than others, but it's your wedding ].
Flower girl should have small bouquet or basket,with maybe rosebuds and baby's breath for innocent childhood?
All groomsman should have same color flower boutonierre, not necessarily the same flower.
You could add pink, ivory, and/or lots of greenery [ my preference ], but don't let anyone talk you into blue or purple
[ will look blue in photos ] please!
Reply:If your wedding is in July and you are having red and white colors, stick to the patriotic theme and use red roses, white carnations and ivy vines! for the bridal bouquet. Go with red or white carnations for the bridesmaids, and groomsmen. the best man would get a red rose of course
Congrats! and good luck :}
Reply:Obvious answer would be roses any color but also suggest calla lillies, orchids, gebera daisies, lillies. It really depends upon your dress and the style of the wedding. The more modern it is the sleeker I would make the flowers. Single flower bouquets kept to one or two similar colors (say red and orange, etc.) The more traditional I would go with mixed bouquets of 3-4 types of flowers w/ base colors that go w/ your color theme, include some red into the bouquets from theme (not as base color) So Yellow or White lillies w/ a few roses and some orchids. Good luck !!!
Reply:take a swatch of your bridesmaid dresses in to your florist and look through the books/photos they have --- also take any pics you may have found and like with you to the florist they will talk with you and give you ideas based on your theme if you have one --- keep in mind you are paying for flowers but also for their ideas and suggestions -- only take 1 friend with you -- the one who will give you an opinion if you ask her. good luck %26amp; congrats
Reply:how about red and cream roses in hand tied for bridesmaid and do you could have the same flowers added with a few more in a shower type bouquet?

Flowers at the Wedding Alter for Deceased Family Members?
I am getting married in September and have a few family members that have passed so I would like to have some memorial flowers up on the alter for them and also list them in our program. When would be a good time, if any, to give the living family member the flowers in honor. Or do you wait until after the ceremony to give them to them? Thanks!
Flowers at the Wedding Alter for Deceased Family Members?
I am getting married in November and doing the same thing. Our wedding colors are black and white but the flowers on the alter will be yellow and pink roses- the flowers that were used at each family member's funeral. I am planning on listing the meaning in the program, but not giving the flowers to the living relatives until after the ceremony. I don't want to make them uncomfortable or make a big scene about it.
Reply:You will not have time to be passing out flowers. Tell the living family member that the flowers will be there and you would like for them to take them after the ceremony. If you want the flowers in pictures, tell to please take the flowers after the pictures are taken.
NOTE: It is hotter than hades out. If the person is going to have to leave the flowers in the car during the reception, it is best to not give them to the living family member, but either leave them in the church or arrange for them to be taken to a shut-in etc....
Reply:Here's an idea, an eternal flame in the center of white rocks, and water of course for safety. Use a bowl, and place the flowers around the bowl rim, stems in water of course. Then just make an announcement or even light candles from the flame. Symbolic of those that have gone and the forward motion of your marriage. The circle of life.
Reply:I attended one in which right before the bride and groom made their vows, they presented flowers to both the brides Mom and then the Groom's Aunt (Grooms Mom had passed)..then right after that the minister announced they were placing flowers on the alter in remembrance of the Grooms Mom and both Grandmothers, and they put then in a beautiful vase on the altar. It was really a nicely done moment.
Reply:Both my fiance and I have lost our fathers, and we decided that at the table with the guest book, we would have our engagment picture, with a picture from my parents wedding on one side, and a picture from his parents wedding on the other side. Nothing big, just a little something to honor them.
Reply:My friend just attended a wedding with something similar to what you are mentioning, I have the document with the complete wedding ceremony, if you wanna take a look send me and email. Good luck.
Reply:I just got married on Saturday and my bouquet was in honor of our deceased family members. I made a plaque (with a picture frame) and set it on my husband and my table with my bouquet. At a time during the reception that I could pull myself away I took apart my bouquet and gave the flower (with a little handmade tag with the deceased name on it) to each person. I pulled them aside and did it which I recommend because it made people VERY VERY VERY emotional. My mother in law needed quite a few minutes to pull herself together when I gave her the flower for her father. Everyone really loved this part of the day and I got lots of comments about how important it was for them that we included those who couldnt be there. The frame was really pretty and on the paper inside it said "For those who are blessing our union from heaven" and it listed the 7 peoples names and their relationship to us with a cross I got at a scrapbook store.
Good luck! It went over very well at our wedding!

What colors and kinds of flowers would go best for my navy blue summer wedding?
I am getting married this July. The bridesmaids are wearing navy blue dresses and the groomsmen are wearing navy blue vests. The reception room has beige chairs, white tablecloths, and a patterned navy blue/mauve carpet. I would like to know why kinds of flowers and colors of flowers I could have for the bouquets, as well as what colors and types of flowers would work best in that room. Any help is greatly appreciated.
What colors and kinds of flowers would go best for my navy blue summer wedding?
Stargazer lilies would look beautiful with navy
Reply:In July you can use summer flowers. Yellow is a blue complement, so I would think asters, lilys, mixed colorful flowers and sunflowers. One of the most beautiful centerpieces I ever saw was sunflowers with a few mixed blue and purples in a big clear glass vase which was filled with lemons. Stunning! It had some long spriggley things in it for added height.
Reply:You'll always be safe with white. I think you'd want to avoid red because it would look too American-flag like. Lavendar roses alone or mixed with other purples that leant toward the blue side would be beautiful. Violets are especially sweet in weddings.

Reply:There are tons of silk flowers available the will compliment the navy blue. First find out what you like then start looking from there. You could always use white, or antiques colored flowers. There are many varieties of white, cream and antique colored roses both fresh and silk. Congrats!
Reply:Cream and mauve roses would look fantastic!
Reply:Orange and/or yellow flowers would really stand out against navy. And they work with a white or cream/ivory gown. I had orangey/yellow tulips for my bouquet and my girls wore navy and carried yellow tulips. Yellow roses would be nice, too... or tiger lilies. You could use yellow and white flowers on the tables, maybe the same type that you use for your bouquets.

My wedding color is tropic blue what kind of flowers should i go for?
my wedding color is tropic blue what kind of flowers should i go for? I was thinking white but i would like to add some type of blue. The color is hard to explain if you have had a blue skittle before thats what it looks like!
My wedding color is tropic blue what kind of flowers should i go for?
There are some georgeous blue flowers that florists use alot but I cannot remember the name of them. But I would use blue flowers, white stephonitis, and maybe yellow roses or mums and some green ivy wrapped with ribbon with streamers, in the bridesmaids bouquets. For the maid of honor I would make it a little different. For your bouquet, I would use white roses, white orchids, green ivy and some beautiful blue flowers. If you have a flower girl and ring bearer, dress her in white with a wide blue sash on her dress and a carrying a white basket filled with blue flower petals. The ring bearer will carry a white pillow with blue streamers. Go to the florist that you will be using and ask him to see a book of all the flowers that he uses. They all have those books and in that book you will find blue flowers of all kinds and you will find the right blue. Then you can make your selection and then choose the style of the bouquets. I wish you luck.
Reply:pink and lite violet
Reply:Pink would be nice.
Reply:baby blue
Reply:maybe champagne colored roses. They would probably compliment the blue very well. But tell your florist that...they should be able to die flowers the color you want them. You know all you have to do is get white carnations and let them sit in a vase with bkue food coloring to dye them yourself. The longer you leave them the darker they will get. You'll have to keep them refrigerated.
Reply:I think a pretty orange flower would look nice.
Reply:I think a nice white flowers with a blue flower through them would be nice - sounds like a beautiful colour!
Reply:Bold white roses, tulips, lilies, or calla lilies, with smaller blue flowers like hydrangeas, or irises.
Congrats on your wedding.
Reply:http://www.blossomsweddingflowers.com/je...
i like that color
calla lilies are nice too
Reply:white daisey and blue iris
Reply:You can dye a flower to be blue....if you were looking to maybe keep to one flower this would be a cute way to go....otherwise there are plenty of blue flowers to chose from!!
Reply:You could take white carnations or roses or something and stick the stem in blue food coloring.
Or you could go with orange. Orange and blue are, after all, complimentary colors and look wonderful together. ^_^

What do you think is the best flowers for a summer wedding?
Here is a list of flowers %26amp; colours that will look lovely together:
Yellow -Cymbidium orchid
Orange - Ranunculus
Hot Pink - Tulip
Purple - Freesias or Hyacinths.
I think the colour combination should be more of the hot pink, orange, yellow with a splash of purple.

What flowers can I wear in my hair for my wedding?
Some people suggested Orchids, but I'm not thrilled with that idea. I like Gardenias, but I hear they smell too strong and offensive. Maybe Magnolias? I want something medium to large sized and a white or ivory color. Any suggestions?

What should i expect to pay for flowers for my wedding?
My fiance and I just got engaged and are beginning to put together a budget. How much should I expect to pay for flowers, if the reception is going to be 400 people? I'm having 8 bridesmaids (a lot, I know, but everything in this family is done big) and just not quite sure what flowers I need and how much they generally range.
What should i expect to pay for flowers for my wedding?
Flowers are the kinds of things that you can do cheap or expensive. For my wedding, I wanted to have awesome flowers and so I cut back in other areas for the flowers. It really depends on what kind of flowers you have. Also, if you have a lot of fillers(green leaves and babys breath type flowers) in the arrangements. If you are looking to go cheap, you could just do simple bunches of flowers that are in season and that would cost you the same amount that it would just going to a florist to buy fresh flowers for your house. For the centerpieces, if you want to go cheap, I suggest that you use a lot of fillers and greenery. But, you could spend anywhere from a few hundred dollars to over $5000.
Reply:Wow, have you guys really thought 400 people through. Sounds good and all but thats a lot of money. If you both arent paying for it I guess thats nice but the more people the more money. I was at a wedding with 300 and it seemed like many people didnt even know each other and it was just to big, so many tables, lines at the bar the food wasnt that great cuz I think they opted for the cheapest plates to accomodate for the large guest count.
I'm sorry I didn't want to be a downer. I'm estimating around 1000 dollars for my wedding of 100. Remember flowers are usually needed on each table as centerpiece, head table, cake (optional), bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, flower girls, toss bouquet can be fake, decor for ceremony. Remember that depending on the season flowers will range in price, so pick what ever is in season to save on money.
The bridal magazines usually have wedding budget insert that will help you out or you can search on line.
Hope this helps.
Reply:Hi, I order a lot of flowers. (I work for a big catering company.)
I don't know about the ceremony ("personal") flowers, but I do know about receptions. Guest table centerpieces should be about the size of a basketball, and professional floral designers charge 55.00 and up per table. (Most dining tables are 60" round tables, and if you are having a plated dinner, you fit 8 per table and if you're having a buffet, you can get 10 per table...smaller place setting. No separate bread and butter plate, for example.)
If you are having a buffet meal, you'll probably have two or three buffets, and you'll need a 36" tall or taller centerpiece for each buffet. If it's too short, the scale will look odd. These start at 150.00 each. Some places charge you separately for delivery...other places lump it in. It doesn't matter, just ask so you know which it is.
Sometimes you can get double use from your flowers, like using big arrangements at the ceremony and again on the buffets.
My clients have told me that they find better pricing with florists that work out of their homes (lower overhead, I guess).
Good luck!!
Reply:This really depends..
are your centerpieces going to involve real flowers? That's a LOT of money- like at least 50-75 a table...
Are you wanting bouquets for the bridesmaids? Or have them hold a single flower?
You need to think about where you want flowers, what kind of flowers as well...
Are there 4 parents? stepparents to include? How many grandparents?
So think about: church decor, bridal party, family member coursages/bouts, any reception flowers, etc.
If you want a lot of flowers, maybe some of the arrangements at the church can be easily transported by someone to put in use at the reception..
The amount you need to budget for depends on the wants.
Reply:Depends on what flowers you pikc, if they are in season or rare, and how complicated you want the bouquets.
Calla Lillies are expensive
Roses %26amp; Carnations are cheap but still elegant.
I would plan on spending at least $700 on bouquets. (at least that is the market in Pennsylvania) But don't be surprised if they get into the $1000's. Especially if your ceremony and reception decorations or real flowers.
Reply:To be honest. When you are inviting 400 people to your wedding you should be in a position financially that the cost of flowers should be of no consequence. Half a wedding budget is the reception and about 10% is usually flowers. 400 people at $30 to $150 per person equates to a total wedding budget of $24,000 to $120,000 for entire wedding. That would mean flowers are anywhere between $2,400 to $12,000.
Reply:honestly, if you are thinking about inviting 400 people and concerned about the cost of flowers then you may need to cut your guest list down. even an inexpensive caterer is going to charge $50 per head so that's already $20K just on cheap a cheap dinner.
so assuming you'll have people sitting at tables with about 10 per table then that is 40 tables. a table arrangement from a florist will range from $50-100. bridal bouquet $100 - 250. bridesmaids bouquets $75 - 150. some florist will throw in the other personal flowers for free if you are placing a big order. ceremony flowers just depends on the venue, but if you are having altar flowers, aisle flowers etc. then probably add on another $500.
wedding are expensive and if you are money conscious the best thing to do is cut the guest list. you'll save yourself money and keep yourself sane.
have fun planning.
Reply:Well it really depends on what kind of flowers you're going to use, how to situate the bouquets if you're going to use them in your centerpieces for tables and if you're going to use them anywhere else in your theme. You might be able to get deals locally, but to get a better idea, view this proflowers.com package deals:

If you don't want to spend that much on flowers, you might not want to have flowers in centerpieces. Being that there will be 400 guest, there will be about 35 to 40 tables.
What should i expect to pay for flowers for my wedding?
Flowers are the kinds of things that you can do cheap or expensive. For my wedding, I wanted to have awesome flowers and so I cut back in other areas for the flowers. It really depends on what kind of flowers you have. Also, if you have a lot of fillers(green leaves and babys breath type flowers) in the arrangements. If you are looking to go cheap, you could just do simple bunches of flowers that are in season and that would cost you the same amount that it would just going to a florist to buy fresh flowers for your house. For the centerpieces, if you want to go cheap, I suggest that you use a lot of fillers and greenery. But, you could spend anywhere from a few hundred dollars to over $5000.
Reply:Wow, have you guys really thought 400 people through. Sounds good and all but thats a lot of money. If you both arent paying for it I guess thats nice but the more people the more money. I was at a wedding with 300 and it seemed like many people didnt even know each other and it was just to big, so many tables, lines at the bar the food wasnt that great cuz I think they opted for the cheapest plates to accomodate for the large guest count.
I'm sorry I didn't want to be a downer. I'm estimating around 1000 dollars for my wedding of 100. Remember flowers are usually needed on each table as centerpiece, head table, cake (optional), bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, flower girls, toss bouquet can be fake, decor for ceremony. Remember that depending on the season flowers will range in price, so pick what ever is in season to save on money.
The bridal magazines usually have wedding budget insert that will help you out or you can search on line.
Hope this helps.
Reply:Hi, I order a lot of flowers. (I work for a big catering company.)
I don't know about the ceremony ("personal") flowers, but I do know about receptions. Guest table centerpieces should be about the size of a basketball, and professional floral designers charge 55.00 and up per table. (Most dining tables are 60" round tables, and if you are having a plated dinner, you fit 8 per table and if you're having a buffet, you can get 10 per table...smaller place setting. No separate bread and butter plate, for example.)
If you are having a buffet meal, you'll probably have two or three buffets, and you'll need a 36" tall or taller centerpiece for each buffet. If it's too short, the scale will look odd. These start at 150.00 each. Some places charge you separately for delivery...other places lump it in. It doesn't matter, just ask so you know which it is.
Sometimes you can get double use from your flowers, like using big arrangements at the ceremony and again on the buffets.
My clients have told me that they find better pricing with florists that work out of their homes (lower overhead, I guess).
Good luck!!
Reply:This really depends..
are your centerpieces going to involve real flowers? That's a LOT of money- like at least 50-75 a table...
Are you wanting bouquets for the bridesmaids? Or have them hold a single flower?
You need to think about where you want flowers, what kind of flowers as well...
Are there 4 parents? stepparents to include? How many grandparents?
So think about: church decor, bridal party, family member coursages/bouts, any reception flowers, etc.
If you want a lot of flowers, maybe some of the arrangements at the church can be easily transported by someone to put in use at the reception..
The amount you need to budget for depends on the wants.
Reply:Depends on what flowers you pikc, if they are in season or rare, and how complicated you want the bouquets.
Calla Lillies are expensive
Roses %26amp; Carnations are cheap but still elegant.
I would plan on spending at least $700 on bouquets. (at least that is the market in Pennsylvania) But don't be surprised if they get into the $1000's. Especially if your ceremony and reception decorations or real flowers.
Reply:To be honest. When you are inviting 400 people to your wedding you should be in a position financially that the cost of flowers should be of no consequence. Half a wedding budget is the reception and about 10% is usually flowers. 400 people at $30 to $150 per person equates to a total wedding budget of $24,000 to $120,000 for entire wedding. That would mean flowers are anywhere between $2,400 to $12,000.

How does one successfully pin real flowers in their hair?
I would love some of my wedding flowers in in my updo, but how do i keep them in, or from wilting and looking nasty?
How does one successfully pin real flowers in their hair?
Bobby pins will hold the flowers in nicely. That is what I always use and it works beautifully as long as they are not large they will stay.
As for the wilting have them placed as close to the time of the wedding as possible. If your stylist is on site she can do this right before you leave your suite, if not have her show one of your bridesmaids how to do it so they can add them right before! Congrats and have a beautiful day!!

What color bridesmaid dress for a March wedding would look nice with pink and cream flowers?
I don't want to put them in a tacky color that they will never wear again...
What color bridesmaid dress for a March wedding would look nice with pink and cream flowers?
pink or ivory would probably be your best choice.
Reply:Black...that's what I am going with...two piece..from David's Bridal (if you heard of them). Then you add a sash (ribbon around wherever you want them to wear it) of the color you choose, but it isn't sewn on, so then they have a black dress for all ocassions. Report It
Reply:Truffle or a Pale Yellow would look gorgeous!
Reply:light green. sea blue. brown. purple.
Reply:Something in sage or light blue would be pretty.
Reply:A pastel yellow would look lovely with the pink and cream flowers. You could also have them in a light silvery color dress (just not shiny silver, think matte). A darker shade of blue would make the pink and cream flowers pop.
Reply:A light green, like celery
Reply:Why not go with a light pink or peach dress? That would look great.
Reply:Celadon (light green), mint, sky blue and light pink would all look beautiful. Ask your maids what colors they like to wear.
Reply:Sage green...I was in one last year with a sage green dress, and I've worn the dress twice since then!
Reply:If you are looking for subtle, you should like dresses from a ivory or brown color scheme like: tan, mocha, stardust, buttercup or terecotta.
http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_...
If you are looking for something that stands out a little bit more go with a oliven or raspberry.

Reply:pail pink
Reply:davids bridal has a really pretty green, clover. That is the color of my dresses and my colors are pink and brown
Reply:peach? or mix peach in the flowers. i have pink, peach, and ivory flowers...soo pretty! the peach adds some extra pop.
Reply:Champagne.
http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_...
Reply:Depending on the shade of pink I think a nice light brown/tan/champange would go nicely for March, especially if you go the "muted" route rather than bright. I think an earthtone shade like that would definately be worn again as long as the dresses themselves aren't "typical bridesmaid style"

How much money is too much to spend on silk flowers for a wedding?
depends on your budget....
How much money is too much to spend on silk flowers for a wedding?
Any amount. Buy real flowers. I would not ever have silk flowers.
Reply:You will always have those people who would never use silk, that is fine that is their opinion. For people like me who are severly allergic, I am glad there are silks that are good quality out there.
If you don't mind silks there are some really beautiful ones. The well made ones individually can cost around $8+, but there are some you can find at $5 that is per flower. Of course a florist who works with silks will get them at a better price.
Check this website out, this woman does amazing work and you'd never know they were silk, she is reasonably priced too!
http://jeaniesfloral.com/
Reply:I agree with the real flowers, silk flowers look terrible in photographs and for the cost of real good silk flowers- you could have gotten real flowers.
Reply:I agree with the 2nd answerer who said to buy real flowers. Silk flowers simply won't do at a wedding.
Reply:It really does depend on your budget. I spent around 1000 on flowers. but I also got a discount and got them at cost due to being related to the florist. I don't agree about never using silk. I now after 1 and a half years since being married, can look at my flower bouquet and remember that special day. also if you find the right florist, the flowers look real. I had people asking me all day if my flowers were real. we did mix a few real Easter lilies in with some of the arrangements.
Reply:Any amount in my book. People think they are saving by buying silks....they are not. There are so many places that you can get fresh flowers at a cheap price. Check these places out:
~ Walmart (in store selection, special order selection and internet selection.) A dozen roses in the store are $10, which is definitely cheaper than silk!
~ Costco (same selection as above)
~ Your local grocery store (if they have a floral department)
~ Farmers markets
~ www.rosesource.com
~ www.growersbox.com
~ wild flowers!
Reply:If you have spent more than $1 you have spend too much.

Go with real flowers.
If you use whatever flower is in season, it won't be that expensive and it will look much nicer.
Buy your own and arrange them simply, like roses with a ribbon tied around the stems or a bunch of beautiful wildflowers. Find a local flower wholesaler.

I need wedding flowers!!?
Florists are to expensive, does anyone know of a good online flower wholesaler? Would costco be a good choice. The wedding is in August and I want Calla lillies, Roses, and Carnations. Thanks for you help!
I need wedding flowers!!?
costco has pretty flowers
Reply:Costo is great but if your not dead set on real flowers they have some great deals on silk flowers on eBay way cheaper then Costco and you can make sure you love them in advance
Reply:I've heard from several people that Costco is good for flowers. If you're by any chance in Orange County, CA, here's the florist I'm using:
www.gdflowers.com
They have really good prices, plus I'm buying most of my flowers (roses) in bulk - 25 roses for $19, and that includes them dethorning them. Total for everything I'm getting from them is around $270.
Reply:I am an event coordinator and have used Costco for many of my events. They are a very dependable source. You can go in and order a sample of the flowers that you want. Go to your local Costco and ask for someone in the flower department to help you out.
Reply:when my girls got married..we used good quality silks
Reply:Yes, Costco or Sam's club (we are going with Sams)
Reply:I wouldn't have thought of Costco. Where do you live? It's a little hard to help without knowing that. If you're anywhere near Los Angeles, they have a huge wholesale flower district downtown. If you're not in a large city, you can still check out downtown areas of major cities nearby and see if they have this. Also, do you have farmer's markets around you? Really fresh %26amp; inexpensive.
Reply:If you have until August, might I suggest visiting a nursery (there are lots online that will ship to your home if you don't have one locally). You can buy the bulbs/seeds rather inexpensively and actually grow your own wedding flowers. I know this will be a little bit of work, but the cost is only a fraction of what you would pay a florist, and it's kind of cool to carry a bouquet that you grew yourself.
Reply:i can recommend a flower person,
i got twelve table decorations, four boquets, 6 button holes, 3 corsages for under three hundred pounds. and they are roses and gerbers!!
i got mine from a independant flower person who works from home and they were at a wedding fayre!

I got ribbon, wire and other decorative bits and accessories from Michael's and eBay. I think total I spent about $900 for 15 centerpieces, two buffet vases, 3 bridesmaid bouquets, my bouquet, 4 corsages and 5 boutonnieres. And I had extra flowers left over.

Right kind of flowers for a greek themed wedding?
I'm helpinh a friend with her wedding. She has a beautiful, cream colored, draped gown (it looks like it was torn off a statue of a greek goddess), gold earrings, a gold arm band, and a gold necklace with a lapis pendant.
this is the main color theme throughout the wedding, cream, gold, and a deep blue. what kind of flowers would be good?
Right kind of flowers for a greek themed wedding?
hmmm i'm thinking deep blue roses and anemones or hydrangas. maybe tulips too
cream gerbers or roses or other filler flowers
she can get gold ribbon to tie the bouquet with and have that drapping down with more cream and blue ribbons.

Keep in mind that blue flowers don't typically exist in nature. There are some flowers that may be called blue but are really a shade of purple or lavender. Anemones and irises appear blue. Otherwise she could use cream flowers and wrap them with a blue ribbon.
Here are a couple sites that list flowers in Greek mythology:

this is the main color theme throughout the wedding, cream, gold, and a deep blue. what kind of flowers would be good?
Right kind of flowers for a greek themed wedding?
hmmm i'm thinking deep blue roses and anemones or hydrangas. maybe tulips too
cream gerbers or roses or other filler flowers
she can get gold ribbon to tie the bouquet with and have that drapping down with more cream and blue ribbons.

I think orchids and roses in the right colours (creams and very soft golds or pinks) would be lovely.

Or for a more dramatic look you could use blue orchids or roses? Maybe with a scattering of cream orchids or roses inbetween?

Is there a difference in using memorial candles, and flowers at a wedding in memory of a loved one?
I am seeking to know if there some spiritual or mystical signficance attached to the use of memorial candles, as opposed to the use of flowers.
Is there a difference in using memorial candles, and flowers at a wedding in memory of a loved one?
I'm not sure, I think the candles are symbolic of their light shining on..
My husband lost a daughter to illness before we met, and at our wedding we released butterflies in memory of her. The program contained this poem:
The Butterfly
He had her there, resting on the palm of his hand for a while.
She was all he ever wanted.
Sometimes her wings were closed.
Motionless.
At other times, she spread her wings open in the bright sunshine,
displaying her colourful patterns.
He truly loved her.
She knew that.
He told her she was special and beautiful, he saw the beauty.
He appreciated her true colours.
But he couldn't keep her.
He knew that.
She was born to fly.
She had been beautiful in his hand, but in flight she soared.
In the garden amongst the colourful, sweet-fragranced flowers.
Her habitat.
Free.
In letting her go, he made her happy.
But she was always to remember his warmth and his love.
Always and forever.
For all of eternity.
It was a nice way for him to remember his daughter on a day when he would have liked for her to be there. We thought about candles and flowers, but wanted to do something special that was all our own. Get creative! It's your day- remember those you love in your own way!
Reply:candles supposedly are significant in that the smoke represents their soul going up to heaven.
for a wedding, i would take a less heady approach and go with flowers.
Reply:MEMORIAL CANDLES IS SPECIAL -- ITS REALLY USED FOR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO IS DECEASED %26amp; NOT ABLE TO BE THERE TO ENJOY THE CELEBRATION. FOR EXAMPLE IN SOME CHRUCHES BEFORE THE WORD IS TAUGHT THE LIGHTING OF CANDLES IS LIT FOR REMEBERANCE OF THE LORD %26amp; SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST
Reply:I don't think there is a difference. I've seen both.
Reply:I'm getting married in Jan. and we are using both....five candles in a votive around a beautiful vase of white and red roses, we will sit it all on the church piano.
Reply:Just preference.
Some locations can handle one better than the other. that's how I decided for my two daughters' weddings.
Do what you feel is most appropriate way to honor them.
Reply:Either one can be used - depends on what you most prefer. I think both would be beautiful.

My wedding changed from October to July this year, help with type of flowers?
I have no clue what type of flowers, or colors to use for a July wedding!! Besides roses. We already have all the dresses. Mine is ivory and gold and the bridesmaids are burgundy. I had flowers picked out for fall but I don't know if I should stick with those or go with the season. Any help will be great! I have already looked on line for pics of bouquets, but I didn't see anything great besides roses. If you have links, that would be great too! Thanks!
My wedding changed from October to July this year, help with type of flowers?
Roses are beautiful and classic...they can also get a little pricey and I am not sure what your budget is.
For the bridesmaids you could add a nice rich yellow to the bouquets to give it some color. Maybe something like this:

Or, you could go with some simple calla lilies. They are gorgeous...

Or maybe some burgundy calla lilies...
http://www.affordable-elegance.com/files...
Reply:If you are in love with the flowers you picked for your October wedding, don't change them. Be aware that flowers go in and out of season though, so the cost you were quoted for arrangements could change. The sites below will tell you what's in season during the summer vs. fall.
When I think of summer weddings, I think of bright, cheerful flowers. Gerber daisies and lilies in bold colors. I think a mix of cream and pink flowers would look great with burgundy dresses.
Reply:How about peonies? Or go to the florists and see what they say about in season flowers
Calla lillies are also good and they come in just about every color, including green. Bridesmaids could carry a mix of colors, like ivory, burgundy or pink, and green.
Orchids would also be very pretty but could be expensive
Reply:Go with wildflower arrangements, they don't cost alot and the colors are BEAUTIFUL!!!
Reply:cala lillies and tulips would be fine for most any season, in addition to roses, which you already mentioned.
Reply:you can try tiger lillys!
Reply:If you like the colors of the flowers that you already picked out I would stick with those
Reply:Bright and Warm colors is the way to go!
Colors:
Red
White
Yellow
Pink
Reply:--I would keep the flowers in the color(s) that goes with your wedding colors, instead of trying to get seasonal colors. I think that would make your wedding pictures/video look better, instead of possibly clashing.
--If you want more seasonal flower, go for it. Just keep the colors in the theme of your wedding. Besides roses, look at lilies, gerbera daisies, and orchids.
--Sorry, I don't know any links that would show great pics for bouquets using other flowers. Maybe you could look at arrangements of other flowers (mixed with nothing else) on websites such as www.1800flowers.com or www.proflowers.com and imagine them in a bouquet.

Cheap wedding spring flowers?
What kind of flowers are great spring flowers that would go with a cheap/low key wedding. I only need flowers for myself. I hardly know anything about flowers. p.s. i bought a white sundress for my wedding dress and i'm wearing pearls.
thank you
Cheap wedding spring flowers?
Nowadays, most things are available year round at fairly consistent prices except for a few flowers.
Cheaper flowers are...
regular daisies
chrysanthemums
carnations
Reply:Well if you are going low key and dont want to spend a bunch you could always go to the grocery store and get a couple of small bunches of mixed flower bouquets and clean them at the bottom cut them at an angel. Find some ribbon you like and hand wrap them tight. You can look at pictures of bouquets that are hand tied and get the idea! You dont have to pay an arm and a leg! Good luck! Remember the more creative you are the more your bouquet will reflect your own personal style! Craft stores are great places to pick up accents. It is for only one bouquet you can do as little or as much as you want!
Reply:You can always go with silk flowers, these are generally inexpensive and can be kept if you choose to. Also, the best option may be to go to a few of your local florists and ask them what naturally blooms (in your area) during the time of year that you are planning to marry as these will tend to be easiest to get and least expensive. If you want real flowers this is probably your best bet, go to multiple places though because they will quote you different prices. You should have an idea of how large of a bouquet you want, if you want a toss away bouquet so you can keep yours, if you have a specific color scheme for your wedding that you want to include (which may be done in a ribbon around the base of the bouquet), and what kind of a budget you have for flowers before you go. If you want more ideas, you can do a google image search for wedding bouquets and see a whole lot of them to give you ideas. Here is a website that has some I like, in different colors and sizes. If you find a picture of something you like, you should be able to get a florist to duplicate it or at least come close.
http://www.designerweddingflowers.com.au...
Reply:I agree with Bride2Be.... you can get some really nice flowers from grocery stores. I always buy my flowers at Wal-Mart, they are always very nice bouquets and they are very cheap. I honestly think they last longer then flowers from a floral shop. You could pick them up a day or two before your wedding and clean them up then tie a ribbon around them and you will be good to go!
Reply:Hydrangeas are absolutely lovely. They come in these big bunches for $6-$15. Most species come in white, but they also grow in colors of blue, purple, pink, and red.
Reply:I would gather a bouquet of wild flowers. They are in season and so not very expensive and would look gorgeous with a white sundress.
Reply:I would go some place and get one or 2 of your favorit flower and use that. Even if you use fake flowers.

Need Websites With Silk/Artificial Flowers for My Wedding and Flower Color Help?
I am getting married in May and have decided to use silk/artificial flowers. I'm not sure on colors, flowers, or where to get them. My dress is ivory with a champagne trim and my bridesmaids are champagne and maid of honor is latte. Groomsmen are wearing champagne vests and Groom and Best Man are wearing Mossy Oak/Camo vests. I need colors that will go with everyone. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I found one that I loved and I emailed it to these people asking if they could do it. They said no problem. I ordered a sample for $20 just to make sure I liked it. Good luck!

Champagne may have different hues and still be called the same color. Many of the craft stores, like Old Time Pottery, Michaels, Ben Franklin, have staff right there that will make your Bouquets, etc, for a reasonable fee.

Ordering flowers over the internet for a wedding need some help?
im looking to order flowers for my wedding mainly bouquets for myself and my bridesmaids i have looked around for the past 3 months and my wedding is only 4 months aways so i was just wondering if anyone has ever ordered them off of the internet and if maybe i could get some recommendations on website or maybe experience.. thanks
Ordering flowers over the internet for a wedding need some help?
I ordered silk flowers off the internet and they came out really great.I used the following sites:
www.thebridesbouquet.com-toss bouquet for bridesmaids
www.budgetmindedbrides.com-bridal bouquet
Good luck and congratulations!!
Reply:I have no qualms about ordering flowers on the internet, but I have to say that for a wedding bouquet you'd really be better talking to a local florist....not only will he or she know what is in season, but also may be able to suggest blooms that you just won't be able to get from internet florists, also what happens if the delivery is late? It may seem like the easiest way to do your flowers, but for such an important day.....go and speak to a real person. Best of Luck!
Reply:I've never actually ordered flowers offline, but I've found a site that seems great.
www.freshroses.com
It lets you know what flowers are available for the month you're getting married in. There's even some packaged deal on the roses.
Reply:I don't usually order flowers from the web but I would say DON'T order flowers from FTD! Their services are horrible, my bf order me flowers for v-day and they were the wrong ones and trying to reach customer service was a pain... if you search for "ftd flowers" in the search bar above there would be a lot of results of people saying that they are horrible and needs to be boycott
I recommend trying to purchase flowers at a local flower shop
Good luck with your wedding!

Do people normally use fake or real flowers for their wedding?
Do I make all the flowers real, all the flowers fake? Or a mix? What should be fake and what shouldn't be?
Do people normally use fake or real flowers for their wedding?
I personally think that those silk flowers that look like raindrops are on them are beautiful! They would be gorgeous for your wedding. I'd make them all small flowers for your bouquet then, for the bridesmaids, let theirs be long stemmed ones so they can carry them on their forearm, not as a bouquet. Yours should be a nice bouquet, theirs long on their forearm. Then you ALL will be able to have them as keepsakes for YEARS to come!
Reply:All Real. Fake looks too...Fake.
Reply:I would say hands down ALL REAL flowers. If you do half %26amp; half it will look tacky and all fake flowers are cheap looking. Theroeticly you only get married once. Spend a little extra and get exactly what you want.
Reply:I would say that all flowers that are used in the wedding party should be real, bouquets and the flowers for the groomsmen, but silk flowers could be appropriate for centerpieces if you are going that way.
Reply:Usually, all fresh real flowers, since it's such a special occasion. However, there's nothing wrong with using lovely silk flowers. I would think it would be fine to have the bouquets fresh flowers, yet have the centrepieces and other decor items be silk flowers.
Reply:I think using real flowers would be best. Fake flowers just look... well, fake. :P If cost is a concern, when choosing your flowers, pick something that's in season and don't feel like it always needs to be roses. Talk to your florist about what's in season so you know your options. You could pick a very simple flower -- even something as basic as a carnation -- and bundle them tightly together for a bouquet and find decorative elements like little jeweled branches or sparkly add-on's to give it visual interest. If you're looking for flower centerpieces, maybe it doesn't even need to be flowers -- candles arranged in a tasteful way can be a lovely centerpiece.
Reply:I recently posted a question related to this. I think the general consensus was real is always better. There are cases where people are allergic to flowers, or want to save the bouquets, and then fake would work.
IMO, real is the way to go- if money is an issue, limit the flowers you buy, but make them real.
Reply:in the good old days all flowers were real...now i think that the fake silk flowers are lovely and more affordable than real.. the real flowers do not last very long. so i would blend both together and will still be pretty for the wedding..after the wedding one could use them for gifts to bride maids, and family or you could keep them for your own place. the brides and maids,ushers should be real, but the decorations could be silk flowers and table settings could be fake with one real flower in the middle... hope this helps
Reply:All real. Fake flowers are cheezy, and make the WRONG statement about the new bride and groom!
Reply:use fresh only-my sisters wer dead from florist that morning. i used velvet poinsettias
Reply:all real! I think silk flowers are for older people. It could be helpful to make bouquets yourself in advance, but they might cost more overall. I'm going for a natural outdoors wedding, so real flowers fit nicely. You can find big sales on silks at hobby lobby and michaels if you choose to go fake. If you choose to go real, find a FLOWERAMA of AMERICA near you. They are the best and you'll find the prices to be realistic. Choose the decor that fits your wedding setting, not what everyone else says.
What ever you choose, have fun with it!
Reply:Real, unless you want to use stargazer and tiger lilies.. They're so delicate that they fall apart really easily.
Reply:all real
Reply:For a bride to use fake flowers at her wedding.......I don't care how beautiful they may be.......would give me the impression that she plans on using them in her next wedding.....and the next....and the, well, you get my drift!
Reply:I'm Sorry To Say Because There More Expensive But Real.
If You Want To Put A Few Fake Ones In The Real That Might Work.
Reply:Half and half.
When my aunt was married she used fake flowers as her bouquet (as well as her bridesmaids and flower girls). I thought it was a good idea, because you could keep them afterward and they always look beautiful.
I am having my bouquet fake. But the rest of the flowers will be fresh.
Reply:i think that it depends on what can be afforded. two of my friends used silk and were beautiful. they were also able to make them themselves. if it can be afforded, specialists say that brides should allow more of the budget to go towards real flowers and to have a florist make everything so it is one more thing the bride does not have to worry about. I have been watching a lot of wedding shows LOL!
Reply:I don't even like fake flowers for the house. All real, I've never seen fake flowers at a wedding before. Very tacky I think.
Reply:Most people use real flowers. I would never mix real and fake because people will be able to tell the difference. Either use all real or all fake.
Reply:I used silk flowers for my bouquet. I really liked Calla Lillies and the real ones were so expensive. The bouquet turned our more beautiful than if I had done real flowers. The store I had it done at specializes in silk wedding bouquets and they are always busy with orders so it's more common than you think.
Reply:I think it depends on your budget. I brought silk flowers and they are just gorgeous. It also depends on where you go to get them, if they look cheesy then no don't them but if they are gorgeous like the ones I got then yes get them. I chose not to get the real ones because the florist in my area will be delivering them Saturday morning to my house, my wedding is on a Sunday afternoon and they will be dead by then. Hope this helps.

Do people normally use fake or real flowers for their wedding?
I personally think that those silk flowers that look like raindrops are on them are beautiful! They would be gorgeous for your wedding. I'd make them all small flowers for your bouquet then, for the bridesmaids, let theirs be long stemmed ones so they can carry them on their forearm, not as a bouquet. Yours should be a nice bouquet, theirs long on their forearm. Then you ALL will be able to have them as keepsakes for YEARS to come!
Reply:All Real. Fake looks too...Fake.
Reply:I would say hands down ALL REAL flowers. If you do half %26amp; half it will look tacky and all fake flowers are cheap looking. Theroeticly you only get married once. Spend a little extra and get exactly what you want.
Reply:I would say that all flowers that are used in the wedding party should be real, bouquets and the flowers for the groomsmen, but silk flowers could be appropriate for centerpieces if you are going that way.
Reply:Usually, all fresh real flowers, since it's such a special occasion. However, there's nothing wrong with using lovely silk flowers. I would think it would be fine to have the bouquets fresh flowers, yet have the centrepieces and other decor items be silk flowers.
Reply:I think using real flowers would be best. Fake flowers just look... well, fake. :P If cost is a concern, when choosing your flowers, pick something that's in season and don't feel like it always needs to be roses. Talk to your florist about what's in season so you know your options. You could pick a very simple flower -- even something as basic as a carnation -- and bundle them tightly together for a bouquet and find decorative elements like little jeweled branches or sparkly add-on's to give it visual interest. If you're looking for flower centerpieces, maybe it doesn't even need to be flowers -- candles arranged in a tasteful way can be a lovely centerpiece.
Reply:I recently posted a question related to this. I think the general consensus was real is always better. There are cases where people are allergic to flowers, or want to save the bouquets, and then fake would work.
IMO, real is the way to go- if money is an issue, limit the flowers you buy, but make them real.
Reply:in the good old days all flowers were real...now i think that the fake silk flowers are lovely and more affordable than real.. the real flowers do not last very long. so i would blend both together and will still be pretty for the wedding..after the wedding one could use them for gifts to bride maids, and family or you could keep them for your own place. the brides and maids,ushers should be real, but the decorations could be silk flowers and table settings could be fake with one real flower in the middle... hope this helps
Reply:All real. Fake flowers are cheezy, and make the WRONG statement about the new bride and groom!
Reply:use fresh only-my sisters wer dead from florist that morning. i used velvet poinsettias
Reply:all real! I think silk flowers are for older people. It could be helpful to make bouquets yourself in advance, but they might cost more overall. I'm going for a natural outdoors wedding, so real flowers fit nicely. You can find big sales on silks at hobby lobby and michaels if you choose to go fake. If you choose to go real, find a FLOWERAMA of AMERICA near you. They are the best and you'll find the prices to be realistic. Choose the decor that fits your wedding setting, not what everyone else says.
What ever you choose, have fun with it!
Reply:Real, unless you want to use stargazer and tiger lilies.. They're so delicate that they fall apart really easily.
Reply:all real
Reply:For a bride to use fake flowers at her wedding.......I don't care how beautiful they may be.......would give me the impression that she plans on using them in her next wedding.....and the next....and the, well, you get my drift!
Reply:I'm Sorry To Say Because There More Expensive But Real.
If You Want To Put A Few Fake Ones In The Real That Might Work.
Reply:Half and half.
When my aunt was married she used fake flowers as her bouquet (as well as her bridesmaids and flower girls). I thought it was a good idea, because you could keep them afterward and they always look beautiful.
I am having my bouquet fake. But the rest of the flowers will be fresh.
Reply:i think that it depends on what can be afforded. two of my friends used silk and were beautiful. they were also able to make them themselves. if it can be afforded, specialists say that brides should allow more of the budget to go towards real flowers and to have a florist make everything so it is one more thing the bride does not have to worry about.

Does anybody know if calla lilies are in bloom in the fall and if not what flowers are in bloom for a wedding?
my sister n law and brother in law are getting married in november and she is in love with calla lilies but we dont know if they are in bloom during the fall. so if anyone can help, we would really appreciate it.
Does anybody know if calla lilies are in bloom in the fall and if not what flowers are in bloom for a wedding?
As with all flowers, they are in bloom - somewhere !!!
And your local florist can get them for you.
You have plenty of time just contact a florist now and tell them the date so they will have plenty of time to special order the color you, and/or your sister wants
Reply:Your sister-in-law should go to a florist as soon as she can. The florist will be able to help her determine what flowers go well with calla lilies in the fall. The fall colors are beautiful, bright and bold and calla lilies are one of the flowers that are sought after for weddings so they are made available anytime of the year. There are several nurseries in California that grow them. They have to be ordered way in advance if it is in the fall. Calla lilies are in season during spring and should be easier and cheaper to get.; they'll be more expensive during the off-season.
Reply:Here in southern California my Callas are underground %26amp; entirely dormant during the hottest months in the summer. They usually have starting growing and even blooming by mid-winter ~ a bit later if we have a cold spell.
A good florist would surely should be able to locate some for you. Most commercially produced flowers are grown in greenhouses and can be "fine tuned" to produce blooms at anytime of the year.
Reply:November through May calla lilies are in season in South America and shipped here regularly. Any reputable florist in your area should be able to supply them easily.
There are also wholesalers on the web that supply them for weddings, but I do not have first hand knowledge of any.
Best wishes!
Reply:You can find calla lilies anytime of the year, but they'll be imported at that time, and more expensive... and be sure that you order them well in advance! ..... Chrysanthemums are definitely in bloom then; and poinsettias will be coming out too ... Roses and orchids are always available from florists......

This website has them, These Callas are only available for a few short months each summer.

What flowers to use for a royal purple wedding color?
I like the idea of having my bridesmaids in royal purple gowns, and having royal purple linen tablecloths. I was thinking of having either a bright green centerpiece (I saw a gorgeous green flower somewhere, forgot what it's called) or tiger lilies, so it pops against the purple. And of course the BM bouquets would be that color too. What do you think?
OR
Should I do white table cloths with tall purple orchid centerpieces?
What flowers to use for a royal purple wedding color?
Purple linens may be hard to come by, and will probably be much more expensive than white- I like the idea of the purple as an accent against the white. Don't necessarily limit yourself to orchids, either- delphiniums come in an incredible deep velvety purple that might be the perfect thing, and there's a purple freesia that's very lovely and rich, too. Then you could have the bridesmaids carrying green bouquets and yours could be heavy on the purple- that sounds quite striking.
Whatever you decide, have a lovely wedding!
Reply:I would definitly go with the purple, its such a pretty color. you can also use bright pink flowers to pop against the purple, i think i know what green your talking about and it would look great! you can also do the purple tablecloths and use light purple orhcids in a tall vase that lights up. Good luck!
Reply:I like the thought of an accent color, makes it more elegant. The white tablecloths with the purple orchid sounds awesome!! congrats!
Reply:If the bridesmaids are having purple gowns, they should have only a few purple flowers as accents, otherwise it wouldn't look nice. Either have a mixed bouquet or something like bright pink stargazer lilies with purple alstromeria or something, maybe with purple trailing ribbons.

I'd choose this - it's beautiful!

Reply:If you are going to do the royal purple tablecloths a sterling silver vase with all white flowers would look beautiful.
You can also buy loose rose petals. I would sprinkle some of those around the table by the base of the vase.
Reply:too much purple combined with another color besides white is a no no. I would go green if you need a 3rd color, or just stick with purple %26amp; white
Reply:what about the scottish thistle both colours there for you green and purple
Reply:I'M NOT SURE IF GREEN ROSES WILL MATCH BUT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BRING YOU GOOD LUCK!!
Reply:I'd do a combo of tiger lillies and day lillies. The orange/green would really pop against their dresses.
Reply:Orchids are pretty. I like Irises too! And you can get them in a mix of purple and white!
Reply:Oh, the tiger lily's with bright orange in them? That would be soo pretty. A bright orange or peach color. Also, a mixture of rich pinks and purples. It would have to be lime green. Emerald and purple is too done..also Barney-ish.
Reply:I really like the idea of having the royal purple tableclothes with a bright green centerpiece. Maybe you could do something like this for the centerpiece

Or you could do something like this...it's a little more complicated, but it would look beautiful..

I would definitely stick with the colored tableclothes though...it definitely adds a nice ton and richness to the room.
I hope this helps! Sounds like it is going to be beautiful!
Good luck :)
