“I am trying to decide between a red (dark red) and black wedding or a mossy oak camoflauge and black wedding colors. I feel that if I find the right flowers that I will be able to decide the rest. I am interested in roses or lilies. Thank you so much!!!

Sarah, I created your board using two of the dresses you sent. I created one side with the red and black, while the other side focused on “camoflauge” colors. I think either is going to look striking. I hope this helps you to make a decision!

“Hey LeAnne-

I am one of your biggest fans! Your inspiration boards are amazing and you always have really great ideas. I am standing in a wedding next June and the bride has asked me to help her with her flowers. The maid of honor will be in black and the rest of us will be in a watermelon color. She has already said that she really wants stargazer lilies and then white lilies for the rest of us. Can you suggest any other flowers that might work well with this color scheme? Thanks again and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Kristina
Orchard Park, NY”

Kristina, thank you for the wonderful compliments! I created this inspiration board with flowers in bright pink (which match the watermelon dress), lighter pink, and white. I am also a huge fan of stargazer lilies — they are just so beautiful! In my opinion, I think pairly stargazers with a round shaped flower looks nice. Since the lily has such a unique shape, the round flowers will help balance out the bouquets! You could always create the bouquets with the stargazer lilies (pink for the bride, white for the bridesmaids, the lighter pink and white roses, and the bright pink spider dahlias or ranunculus. To bring in the black, why not wrap a black ribbon around the bouquet stems and use the black lapel pin vases for the boutonnieres. I hope this helps gives you some ideas!

“Hello!
I’m planning for my July 10, 2010 wedding & I’m having a difficult time choosing a bouquet for me and my girls. My colors are black & white damask theme and hot pink. I’m completely clueless & I was hoping you could give me some kind of direction. I would like for my bouquet to be hot pink & my bridesmaids to be hot pink with other shades of pink, maybe?!? My bridesmaids will be wearing an Alfred Angelo dress style 7017S. Thanks for your time.
-Stephanie”

Stephanie, I created your inspiration board with flowers mostly in fuchsia with a few lighter pink accents. If you wanted to purchase pre-made bouquets, you could always selected the fuchsia pink rose and astrantia bouquet for yourself, and the confetti rose confetti for the bridesmaids — as it has lighter pink roses in it. If you wanted to create the bouquets, why not make them using the fuchsia ranunculus, gerbera daisies, and hydrangea. Use the fuchsia gerbs in your bouquet, and the lighter pink in the bridemaids bouquets. Finish all the bouquets with a black satin ribbon and pink pins to give them that extra something. I hope this helps!

“I am planning a wedding in March of 2011 and was wondering how to accent my red and white roses with smaller white flowers. I cannot find ones easily.. stephanotis is one flower I like , if you could find some that would match, my colors are red, white, black and silver. Thanks~
Nicki”

Nicki, I created your inspiration board with white and red flowers along with black and silver accents. I think it would look elegant to make your bouquet from the white and red roses that you have while adding the white and red ranunculus. You could add the silver gypsophila and black curly ting to the bouquet for added texture, while finishing the bouquet with black ribbon and silver pins. I hope this helps!

“Hello LeAnne,
I am having a difficult time picking out flowers for my wedding that is in June 2010. My colors are black,white and pool. I love roses but I also want another kind of flower to go with it but I do not know what color or what flower so I hope you can help me. Thanks for your time.
Courtney”

Courtney, I created your inspiration board using the black, pool, and white colors of your wedding, with a mixture of flowers. I think if you created your bouquets with white roses, pool ranunculus and the white gerbera daisy it would look stunning. You could tie the bouquet with black ribbon and also add the black ting for the “pop” of black as well as adding some dimension to the bouquet. I hope you like your board!

“Hi, my name is Kathy and I am getting married March, 2010. I really like gerbera daisies, but am open to different types of daisies and other flowers. My dress is white, my bridesmaids dresses are apple red and the mens tuxes are black. I really want something simple and am thinking of using flowers in all of our hair. Thanks, Kathy ”

I created your board with red flowers, white flowers, and black accents. I used roses, peonies, orchids, and gerbera daisies — all of which would look great used as hair pieces — especially the orchids! I think the bouquets would look great made up of red and white orchids, white peonies, and red roses. Then you could wrap a black ribbon around the bouquets stems and accent with red pins. If you wanted to add a touch of black to the bouquets as well, you could always use black feathers. I hope this helps!

“My name is Kim. I am getting married in may 2010. I am trying to get an idea for a bouquet for both me and my girls, and am hoping that you might be able to give me some ideas. The colors for the wedding are black and white, but what I would love is to have pink/fuchsia flowers. Thank you, Kim”

Kim, I created your inspiration board using flowers in white and fuchsia with black accents. I also made sure to include the bouquet you like, item FBQ311-RB/CR. To add some black to it, you could simply wrap a black ribbon around the bouquet stems. If you like the style of this bouquet but would like something a bit more unique, why not create your own arrangements using white roses and rose buds with the pink stargazer lily. You could even add some black feathers to the bouquets! I hope this helps.
