“Hi LeAnne!

My wedding is going to be mid October 2010. The color we’ve chosen is olive. I haven’t picked out the dresses yet, I just have an idea. I know I want white daisies but not gerbera daisies. We don’t want to use roses. I’ve included a picture that I found which is the closest to what I like but I’m just not sure yet if it’s the “perfect” one for me. First, I can’t figure out what else is in the bouquet besides daisies, and I’m not sure if I want more color in it to compliment fall. Any ideas would be appreciative!

Thanks, Melissa”

Melissa, I created your inspiration board with white daisies and a few green flower accents. I know you mentioned that you didn’t want gerbera daisies, so I put a farmhouse daisy bush on your board. I also included a spider gerbera daisy — although it is a gerbera, it is very different from the regular gerbs and I though it might work for you. As for accent flowers — why not use a small green flower that matched the dresses and also include another flower type that is eggplant purple or orange in color? This will help bring in the fall look as well as make the bouquets that out a bit more. Either a mini orchid or mini poppy would work nicely. I hope this helps!

“I am in need of a bouquet (for bride) in roses and calla lillies, tied with ribbons and wrapped stems in shades of oranges to deep almost red between the roses and calla lillies. Her dress is champagne. I will also need a bouquet for the maid of honor who is wearing shades of brown that will look decent with the brides. Can you people help me? A picture of colors would be appreciated.”

I created this inspiration board with roses and calla lilies in various shades of oranges and reds, including a nice orange-red color called flame. The bouquets would look great mafe up of orange and red roses, flame ranunculus, and orange calla lilies. I also put 2 different boutonniere types on the board as well. I hope this helps give you some ideas!

“Hi There!
My name is Amy and I am getting married on Sept 5, 2010. I need help with flowers. My bridesmaids are wearing hunter green and clover. It will be a evening wedding and I love poppie flowers like the ones in the Wizard of Oz. Do you have any suggestions? Please help, I am not the creative type and I would like the flowers to be very simple..
Thanks so much for your help.
Amy”

Amy, I love the simple look of green dresses paired with some green flowers and the dark orange flame color of poppies — so stunning! Since you love the poppies and wanted a simple bouquet, why not create them using the flame ranunculus, one or two different poppies, and accent with green bells of ireland and hydrangea! To finish the bouquets add a nice ivory ribbon around the stems and accent with green pins. I hope this helps give you some ideas!

“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. My name is Luda and I am getting married next June. It will be an elegant evening wedding, and our colors are wine, ivory, and a green. So far I am thinking of using calla lilies and/or gladiolas (I like the long flowers), however, am still exploring. Any suggestions?
Luda”

Luda, I created your inspiration board using flowers in wines, green, and ivory. I made sure to include calla lilies, but also inlcuded roses, hydrangea, even an orchid. I think your bouquets would look great made up with vanilla and green roses, the wine and the green burgundy calla lilies, and accented with the green hydrangea. To finish off the look, you can wrap a burgundy/wine colored ribbon around the bouquet stems. I hope this helps!

“Hi, LeAnne.
I’m getting married Aug, 29th 2010. Our colors are burnt orange, brown, gold and ivory. I’m in need of help with my DIY flower arrangements. My bridesmaids with be wearing burnt orange dress and groomsmen will be wearing brown tuxes. The skirt of my wedding dress is made of ivory feathers, so I would like to incorporate feathers in my arrangements.”

Ebony, I created your inspiration board with flowers mostly in orange and ivory, but also added hints of brown. I also made sure to include some gold accents. For the bouquets, why not created them using the brown and orange callas, the vanilla roses, and the orange and cream gold orchids. You said you wanted to add feathers — which would look fantastic. I have put pheasant feathers on your board (which would help bring out the brown), or you could go with ivory ostrich feathers. To finish off the bouquets, why not wrap the stems with a gold ribbon. I hope this helps!

“Hello, I really would love your help in combining floral colors for my ceremony so that it complements my reception. I have a fall wedding. For centerpieces, I will be alternating between using the Manzanita tree on some tables and regular floral arrangements on others. My colors are ivory, chocolate, and blue pastel for the bridesmaids. Can you please put some colors together for me?
Thanks!
-Connie”

Connie, I created your inspiration board using flowers in blue and brown as well as yellow accents. Using yellow will help bring a fall feel to the wedding and it looks great next to the blue and brown! Also, if you use more fall-like flowers, (example, sunflowers), that will also bring an autumn touch to the arrangements. I think your wedding arrangements would look great made up with yellow sunflowers and roses, brown ranunculus, and blue hydrangea. I hope this helps give you some ideas!
