Hmm, starting to think about what flowers to do for my wedding?

I'm getting married in July at the New York Botanical Gardens, and just ordered my dress today, which will take six weeks to come in. My six bridesmaids are going to be wearing the same style dresses, just in two different colours. Three will wear lilac, and three will wear light yellow. What kinds of flowers should I use for centerpieces and the bridesmaids bouquets... and what colours would look nice with the dresses?

Orchids would be nice... especially in the bright purple, some of them have yellow stamens. Um... Purple Iris' they would look GREAT. hydranga are great fillers, and available in yellows. daisys are very old school and classic (often overlooked in bridal flowers but SO pretty)....



i think either dark or light shades of purple and yellow would be bring out your colors. Perhaps allow the girls were purple dresses to have bouquets that are mostly yellow, and the yellow ones have mostly purple.
Reply:What about something like the one attached.



You could use the purple ones for the girls with the yellow dresses and then have ones done up in the yellow for the girls with the purple dress. Because they are contrasting colors they would look good together.
Reply:The knot.com has the best online gallery of flowers. There are two galleries, one is their own gallery and the other is "real weddings". You do have to register, but this is really the only website I've found to be helpful.
Reply:Wow you dress is only taking 6 weeks?!?! Mines going to take 4-6 months.



You should go interview florist and see what ideas they have. I had ideas before I went to interviewed some florist and then I was looking through one of the florist portfolio and threw most of my ideas out the window because I feel in love with the ideas she had.
Reply:Do you like Daisies!!!



Our daughter-in-law used daisies and long ribbons. The ribbons for the bridesmaids could have the colour of their dresses and yours could be white.



She also used daisies to decorate the pews. They had white toille draped from pew to pew up the aisle with white twinkle lithts and daisies in them. It is very effective and not expensive.



It is a good idea to have low, small centrepieces; maybe a pillar candle on a mirror with daisies around or some small flower. There are many wholesale flower dealers around. Just check online in your area.



Daisies are more reasonably priced than just about any other flower and they last through the entire day. They will look great with the colours of their dresses. You may like to have white tablecloths over lilac table skirts.



Hope these ideas are a help.
Reply:Gorgeous colors! I think you'd be able to get the same bouquets for all of them. I'm thinking lavendar and yellow roses http://www.windsorflower.com/catalog/ima...

, or purple callas and yellow roses, or vice versa. You can get yellow and purple lillies.Freesia comes in many colors including purples (all shades) and yellow. I would offset everything with some touches of white or ivory.



For centerpieces, have you considered maybe a bowl of lemons or yellow apples, with purple flowers, like this but different flowers:

You could float waterlillies in bowls of water with tea lights around it.

Depending on what you plan to do for favors you could plant yellow and purple pansies in colorful pots to decorate the table with and act as your favors as well.
