“I am planning a church wedding for April 10, 2010. My colors are green (fern) and blue (pastel), with silver as an accent color. I love hydrangeas and want to incorporate them throughout my wedding/reception. What flowers can I use to complement the green and/or blue hydrangeas?
Thanks!”

Edie, I created your board using hydrangeas in a few different shades of blue and green as well as a few other flower types. I think your bouquets would look great made up with either the green roses or dahlies, turquoise gerbera daisies, and both a blue and green hydrangea. To finish it off why not wrap a blue ribbon around the bouquet stems and accent that with green pins. I hope you like your inspiration board!

“Hi there,

I am getting married in August 2010. Our wedding colors are fuschia and kiwi/apple green. I am overwhelmed by the choices!! The bridesmaids will be in fuschia, dress pictured below. My dress is ivory with a very pale pearl pink accent. I love cymbidium orchids but beyond that I’m lost. Any direction you can give me would be very appreciated!!!

Thanks so much!
Alicia”

Alicia, I created your inspiration board with a few different flower types in green and fuchsia — being sure to inlcude some cymbidium orchids for you! For the bouquets, why not make them using the green cymbidium orchids, fuchsia phalaenopsis, fuchsia ranunculus, and either the green roses or ranunculus. The ranunculus will help give the bouquets that round look and the orchids will really set them off! Finish the bouquets by wrapping the stems with a green ribbon and accenting with pink pins. I hope this helps!

“I’m getting married and December 19th 2009 and I want the perfect winter wedding bouquet. We’re holding it at my mothers house because she has a gorgeous staircase and vaulted ceiling living room and I’ll be coming down the stairs. My colors are ivory, gold, and splashes of a royal blue, think delphinium blue. I’ve pretty much got everything buttoned up except for the flowers. My dress is long and embelished with embroidery and I’ll be wearing a tiara. I want something simple yet princess like. Please help me choose some flowers! I’ve watched a ton of your how to videos and I love your site, I just need a little guidance!
Thank you!
Vanessa Parnell

Vanessa, I created your board using Delphinium Blue Hydrangeas and Irises, and Ivory Roses, along with accents in gold. I think it would look simply elegant to creat your bouquet using the blue hydrangeas along with the ivory open roses, and rose buds. You could also add in the irises if you would like more selection of flowers in your bouquet. Why not finish the bouquet off with ivory ribbon and gold pins, and using the gold curly ting to accent your gold while giving your bouquet that “extra something”. The hyrdrangea garland would look stunning wrapped around the staircase, you could also wire in ivory roses to tie it all together! I hope this helps!

“Hello! I’m getting married in Jamaica in April 2010 and have no idea what kind of flowers I’d like for my bouquet. I know I want it to look lively and tropical but past that….I’m at a loss! LOL! The colors I invision for my palette are bright pink, green, yellow and orange.

Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated!

LaToya”

Latoya, I created your inspiration board with your 4 main colors — yellow, green, orange, and pink. I made sure to include many different types of tropical flowers. I think your bouquets would look stunning made up of the fuchsia orchid and green orchids, orange bird of paradise, orange dahlia, and yellow lilies or hibiscus. You can even add in the fuchsia ranunculus to help the bouquet keep a consistant shape. Finish it off by wrapping the bouquet stems with an orange ribbon and accenting with pink pins. I hope this helps!

“Hello!
I happened to stumble upon your website and I think your inspiration boards are so cute! I am hoping you can help me get inspired as well I am having a winter wedding in December 2010 and my colors are marine blue and silver. I really don’t know much about flowers, but I would love simple floral bouquets that can be jazzed up with beautiful accents. My bridesmaids will be in marine blue dresses of different syles with silver accents.
Thank you for your time and creativity!
-Lauren”

Lauren, I created your inspiration board with flowers in white and blue as well as silver accents. I think your bouquets would look beautiful (as well as winter-y) made up of white roses, white amaryllis, the light blue hydrangea, and accent with white wisteria or white sparkle gyp (either of these will bring a nice winter feel to the bouquets). You could then wrap a blue ribbon around the bouquet stems to bring out the blue a bit more. To add in the silver, you could accent the ribbon with silver pins — or even add a silver glittered beaded ball pick or 2. I hope you like your inspiration board!

“Hello,

The wedding is August 14, 2010. The main flower I wanted to use are calla lilies, however I am open to other options. Interesting in what centerpiece ideas you have as well as bouquets.

Thanks
Lesley”

Lesley, I created your inspiration board using flowers in amber, orange, cream, and touches of brown. I made sure to put calla lilies on the board, but also included some roses and peonies — both flowers that will compliment the callas nicely. For the bouquets, why not create them using the vanilla roses, amber peonies, and calla lilies in the brown burgundy and cream. You could then incorporate all these flower types into your centerpieces. Use some tall thin vases for the calla lily flowers, and arrange the peonies and roses together in a short, round arrangement. I hope this gives you some ideas.

“Hi I am getting married next July 9^th 2010   my wedding colors are the Teal (not the blue teal) and silver. My wedding dress is ivory. My dilemma is the reception room I quiet tall and large, 45 ft x 65ft. The ceiling has dark beams and elegant lights. Floor is wood and the walls are brick. We want it to look elegant but also light and summery.Hope you can help.
Thank you
Diana”

Diana, I created your board using a mix of ivory and teal flowers with accents in silver. I think that you could create the center peices using the ivory phaleanopsis orchids and teal cosmos. You could add curly ting and use teal and silver vases to incorporate your silver in there along with adding some “drama” to the center peice.
