“My daughter is getting married December 19, 2009. We keep going back over her flower selections and I think she’s just done making decisions, so I’m trying to come up with suggestions.

She likes simple, classy designs, her dress is champagne, the bridesmaid dresses are claret and her accent color is chocolate brown. We are using the kind of ice theme with crystal tree centerpieces and candles. She loves calla lilies which we used in the pew markers and also hydrangeas in deep red and brown shades. Need ideas on the bouquets and what other flowers we can use.

Thank You
Vicki”

Vicki, I created your inspiration board with flowers in reds, brown, and even a hint of ivory to match the champagne dress. I made sure to include a deep red hydrangea and a few different colored calla lilies. I also included a few other flower types that will match the callas and hydrangeas well — a ranunculus and a burgundy peony (which is one of my favorites). Why not make the bouquets with the burgundy peonies, burgundy hydrangea, brown ranunculus, and the red and cream calla lilies. To finish it off you can add a burgundy ribbon and ivory pins. I hope this helps!

“Hi my name is Nicole. I am getting married next September and my colors are going to be burgundy and black. I’m thinking about using daisies and possibly another type of flower. Thank you.
Nicole”

Nicole, I created your inspiration board with burgundy flowers and a few other colors as well — just in case you wanted another color for your flowers! I put a few beige flowers on the board for a more classic look and also included a flame orange and an eggplant — both of which will pair up nicely with the burgundy. To bring in the black accents, you could add beautiful sparkle ting to your bouquets, or simply wrap a black ribbon around the bouquet stems. I hope this helps!

“Hello,
I am planning an outdoor fall wedding for next year between sept and nov. I live in CA so the weather is really nice that time of year. I will be wearing an ivory gown and my bridesmaids will be wearing a chocolate brown. I am not sure how to pull this off so any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
Teresa”

Teresa, I created your inspiration board with fall colors of burgundy, mustard yellow, flame orange, and chocolate brown — all which look fantastic next to one another! I love the deep fall tones! I think the bouquets would look great made up with burgundy roses, mustard and brown gerbera daisies, orange mums, and accented with the eggplant hydrangea. Then, you could wrap a chocolate brown ribbon around the bouquet stems. I hope you like your inspiration board!

“Hello LeAnne,

Hi, I am planning my wedding for August 2010 and have decided to go with silk flowers. I am planning to have green a kiwi or lime and purple deep purple eggplant etc. I am considering going with black bridesmaids dresses, therefore having green, purple, black and white as my colors. I am worried it is to much and totally stressing any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Amanda”

Amanda, I really like the idea of putting together deep purple and black with a nice, bold green actually — I almost want to say these will look so striking on their own, that you may want to leave the white out, and I created the inspiration board using purple, black, and the green. I used a few different flower types — all which will look good together — as well as some black ribbon, curly ting, and green pin accents. I hope you like it!

“Hello,

My name is Susie. I am getting married on April 3 and we are having trouble picking out flowers for our wedding. Our wedding is outside in a rose garden and our reception is indoors with lots of windows looking out at the beautiful grounds. We would like to spend as little as possible while still having great flowers. Our colors will be various shades of purple and various shades of green. Any ideas you can give us will help!
Thanks,
Susie”

Susie, I just love the combination of green and purple — it is such a classy and striking look! I created your inspiration board using a few different flower types in both colors. I think it would like nice if you made the bouquets with the green roses, purple daisies, and accented with the green/purple hydrangea! To finish off the bouquets, you could wrap a green ribbon around the stems and accent with purple pins. I hope you like your board!
