“Hello I am having a hard time finding the right flowers to match my wedding colors for a fall 2010 date in New Orleans. The bridesmaids dresses are from Alfred Angelo style 7041 and the colors are Blue Jay, Espresso and Cafe. Your help with this is badly needed.

Thanks!”

Keila, I created your inspiration board with flowers in brown, ivory, and shades of blue. I think a nice mix of all 3 colors will look fantastic! Why not create the bouquets using the cream peony, brown ranunculus, and blue hydrangea. Then you could wrap a brown or blue ribbon around the bouquet stems and accent with ivory pins. I hope this gives you some ideas.

“Hello,

My name is Sarah Cook. My wedding is on October 23rd 2010 and my colors are chocolate brown, ivory and possibly either bronze or gold. The flowers that I would love to have in my bouquets are ivory hydrangeas and lilies. I desperately want to use them so I need some assistance and advice. I hope to hear from you soon! Thanks for your help!

Sarah”

Sarah, I created your inspiration board with flowers in ivory, brown, and touches of bronze and gold — so you could see all the colors together! For the bouquets, if you decided to go with fresh flowers, you could always add in accents of silk flowers. The hydrangeas for example, are so realistic looking and you won’t have to worry about them wilting! I hope this helps.

“I’m so glad that I found your site, please help me. My colors are berry and a accent color grape, the girls dresses are berry. I really dont want to use roses, and I was wondering if I had to match the flowers to the girls dresses.
Thank you
Amie”

Amie, I created your inspiration board using several different flower types in berry and grape colors. I also through in some greens to break up the darker colors. You don’t have to match the flowers to the dresses at all actually. If you wanted to do something a bit different, you could use greens, creams, even a soft pink. I personally think the bouquets would be stuning with the dark berry, purple, and green! I hope this board helps give you some ideas!

“Hi,

My name is Kamisha and I am getting married on June 11, 2011. My colors are Royal Blue, Platinum, Black with accents of Ivory and Bling (crystals, rhinestones, etc.). In addition to that I will be making my own Trumpet Vase centerpieces and need flowers for those also. Any inspiration you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Kamisha”

Kamisha, I created your inspiration board with mostly blue flowers, however I added ivory as well. I also included silver and black accents. For the bouquets and centerpieces why not make round floral arrangements using blue and vanilla/ivory roses with blue anemeone and/or hydrangea accents. I love the blue anemone flower, and it has a black center, which will help bring black into the arrangements. For the bling, you could add some rhinestone picks to the bouquet as well. I hope this helps!
