“Hi, I’m planning a September 18th, 2010 wedding. The ceremony and reception will be at a golf course; the ceremony being outside. The bridesmaids dresses are the color called Sangria and my dress is ivory. I will probably do candles at the reception, so I’m really needing some help with the bouquets for myself and my bridesmaids, as well as the groomsmen’s boutonnieres. Thanks for your help!
Kelly”

Kelly, what a beautiful color for the bridesmaids dresses! I created your inspiration board with flowers in a reddish purple (close to a wine/sangrai), ivory, and burnt orange. I think the bouquets would look great made up with the vanilla roses, orange calla lilies or roses, and eggplant magnolia. For the boutonnieres you could go with an orange rose (if you chose roses for the bouquets) or the eggplant magnolia. Simply clip the flower and wrap the remaining stem with a bit of floral tape and you’re reading to pin it on! I hope this helps!

“I am currently planning my June 25, 2010. My colors are marine blue, jade green, and raspberry pink. I’m going to put the bridesmaids in blue dresses, my dress is accented in green. I wanted to bring the pink in with the flowers. I absolutely love stargazer lilies and daisies. I also need a practical flower to use for the boutonnieres and corsages. Any suggestions?
Sarah”

Sarah, I created your inspiration board using flowers in greens, blues, and pinks. I think this is a nice bold combination. For the bouquets I think they would look great mad up of blue roses, pink daisies, and accented with the green bells of ireland and pink stargazers. You could also use the blue open roses for boutonnieres as well. to add a finishing touch to the bouquets you can wrap a dark blue ribbon around the stems and accent that with green pins. I hope this helps.

“I love the ideas on your site! Please help me with some ideas for a fall wedding using “fall colors” (i.e. orange, red, yellow). I am considering primarily using shades of orange and tan for the wedding party and incorporating the other colors through flowers/decorations. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!!’

Lashonda, I created your inspiration board using different flower types in fall colors, being sure to include shades of brown and orange. I think the wedding bouquets would look nice if you created them using the amber peonies, mustard gerbera daisies, orange roses, and touches of burgundy hydrangea. You could even accent with a beautiful fall rattail and grass bush for greenery. To finish the bouquet, simply wrap a brown ribbon around the flower stems. I hope this helps give you some inspiration.

“Hello!

First off…let me just say how excited I am that I found your website. I need some help with my flowers. I am getting married April 17th 2010 in new Orleans, LA. The colors are purple and green. It is a GRAPE purple and a sort of light lime green. My favorite flower is the green orchid. I am totally lost…help! I will accept any inspiration that you can help me with…

Thank you,
Ashley”

Ashley, what a beautiful color combination! I created your inspiration board using different flowers in purple and green — making sure to include a few green orchids! I think your bouquets might look nice made up of green and purple orchids, purple snapdragons, and green roses (you might want to even add in purple anemones). To finish off the bouquets, why not add a purple ribbon and accent with green pins. I hope you like your board!

“Hello! Our wedding date is March 13, 2010. I absolutely love the colors of fall, but with the wedding in March, want to make it look spring-y too. These are the colors I was thinking of: peach/apricot, coral, dark cranberry red, aubergine/eggplant, and tangerine orange.

Thank you so much, and I can’t wait to see what you come up with for me! I know I’ve found where to order all my flowers from, you have the best prices anywhere!

Sincere regards,
Andrea”

Andrea, I just love the color combination you have come up with! So unique and beautiful. I created your inspiration board with different flowers in all the colors of your wedding, as well as included natural birch branches — which you could incorporate not only in your bouquets, but your centerpieces as well. I think the bouquets would great created with the orange and creamy peach roses, orange and red calla lilies, and accented with the violet tulips. I hope this helps give you some ideas!

“Hi There!

I’m getting married in the late Spring/early Summer of 2011. It’s a beach wedding, and my colors are Pool Blue, Tangerine & Sandy Beige. I am looking to do simple, yet bright tropical-like bouquets for my Bridesmaids wearing Pool, and a Cascading Bouquet for myself including a selection of all the flowers in theirs, plus a couple unique to mine. I adore Lilies and Gardenias, Bird of Paradise and exotic roses…but I am up for anything. Please Help!
Thanks!
Rebecca”

Rebecca, I created your board using a mixture of pool blue, and tangerine with highlights of sandy beige. I think it would look amazing if you made the bouquet with the white stephanotis, orange garden lily, turquoise ranunculus. You could also substitute some of the turquoise ranunculus with the orange ranunculus with the bridesmaids bouquets. If you added the bird of paradise to your bouquet it would give it a more “dramatic” look as well as make your bouquet unique. I hope you like your board.
