NOT ROSES

Whats the best kind of flowers for a wedding?
It depends on many things.... do you want something that is 'in season'? Traditional like Calla Lily's or nontraditional like Birds of Paradise? Are you looking for hand tied bouquets where gerbera daisies are always good, or traditional nosegay's with stargazer lillies and lots of baby's breath?



Your question is rather vague, give some details as to what you are looking for - stylewise, when the wedding is, are you asking for bouquets or centerpieces or boutonnieres?

Reply:Calla lilies and orchids are so amazingly beautiful. But they're amazingly expensive too, especially for rare orchids.



I really like dahlias as an inexpensive flower. The burgundy and magenta ones are especially lovely.
Reply:Use your favorite flowers..



i'm sure you have some kinds you like or perfer..



like snap dragons?
Reply:Tulips and Lillies are beautiful....



but I dont think there is a spicific flower you should use. It should be a flower that you like or a flower that may have a special meaning.
Reply:Carnations are light and free-spirited. Yet they are elegant. They work well in a fairy-tale/butterfly reception.



For a more royal fee, incorporate Stephanotis and Calla Lilies (especially the minis).
Reply:Calla Lilies...simple and beautiful.

Initially, I wanted to do peonies and ranunculus flowers, but they are not in season in October. So, I am going with green zinnias, dark calla lilies, white tulips, white dahlias, and some greenery.



We are also doing green hydrangeas, ivory roses, and a chocolate artichoke for our centerpieces.



Good luck! It is fun searching for flowers...
Reply:i think calla lilies are very pretty. and they can be done with just about any color theme. they also come in a variety of colors as well. im going to use white and green calla liles in my wedding next year when my husband gets back from deployment. (we got married in a courthouse and now i want a formal wedding)
Reply:really anything that you like, some thing that smells nice. babies breath always looks nice. as my name says, black tulips are beautifull and so different from red or yellow ones. don't go for lillies or it may be orchids as they can stain clothing with their pollen and some smell very overpowering.

go to a flower market and you will be surprised at the choice you have. good luck, happy picking and enjoy the wedding.
