“My son, Brian is getting married April 17, 2010. Crystal his fiance ask me to help her with the flowers. She has chosen cornflower blue and honeydew green for her colors. Her favorite flower is the tiger lily. I saw white tiger lily, blue cornflowers, and green roses. Any suggestions for bride bouquet, bridesmaids flowers and groom qnd groomsmen bountonneires?

Marie, I think you have a great start with the 3 flowers you have chosen, so I included them on your inspiration board as well as a few others — just in case. For the bouquets, I think the green roses and blue cornflower would look great paired with 1-2 large white tiger lilies. You could also add some blue ribbon around the bouquet stems as well as white or green pins for extra color. I hope you like your board!

“I love your website. I have been having the hardest time finding flowers for my wedding on May 8, 2010. I am on a pretty tight budget and it has been very difficult to find flowers for my bouquet, decorations, and centerpieces in my price range. I love gerbera daisies, lilies, orchids, pretty much anything. I just need a little bit of help getting ideas.

Kylie, I created your inspiration board using several different flower types in burgundy and white — all of which will look great with one another. You could pick 2 flowers, perhaps burgundy roses accented with a few white lilies (which would be very striking), or a combination of many flower types you see on this board! You could even accent your bouquets with burgundy berries or a black ribbon tied around the stems — or both! For the centerpieces, you could use black bamboo in a tall vase with a few sprays of lily or orchid (whichever you decide to use in your bouquets) — both of which are simple, yet stunning all on their own. I hope this helps!
