“Hello!
I happened to stumble upon your website and I think your inspiration boards are so cute! I am hoping you can help me get inspired as well I am having a winter wedding in December 2010 and my colors are marine blue and silver. I really don’t know much about flowers, but I would love simple floral bouquets that can be jazzed up with beautiful accents. My bridesmaids will be in marine blue dresses of different syles with silver accents.
Thank you for your time and creativity!
-Lauren”

Lauren, I created your inspiration board with flowers in white and blue as well as silver accents. I think your bouquets would look beautiful (as well as winter-y) made up of white roses, white amaryllis, the light blue hydrangea, and accent with white wisteria or white sparkle gyp (either of these will bring a nice winter feel to the bouquets). You could then wrap a blue ribbon around the bouquet stems to bring out the blue a bit more. To add in the silver, you could accent the ribbon with silver pins — or even add a silver glittered beaded ball pick or 2. I hope you like your inspiration board!

“Hi I am getting married next July 9^th 2010   my wedding colors are the Teal (not the blue teal) and silver. My wedding dress is ivory. My dilemma is the reception room I quiet tall and large, 45 ft x 65ft. The ceiling has dark beams and elegant lights. Floor is wood and the walls are brick. We want it to look elegant but also light and summery.Hope you can help.
Thank you
Diana”

Diana, I created your board using a mix of ivory and teal flowers with accents in silver. I think that you could create the center peices using the ivory phaleanopsis orchids and teal cosmos. You could add curly ting and use teal and silver vases to incorporate your silver in there along with adding some “drama” to the center peice.

“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!

“I would appreciate an inspiration board! I am getting married in February and am planning a small wedding with my maid of honor and then two bridesmaids.

My colors are navy blue, light blue, and silver. Who would have thought navy blue and black would go together! Roses are my favorite but I am not sure what to put with them. Any ideas?”

I love the combination of navy blue and black. They are such classy colors! I created your inspiration board with flowers in cream and shades of blue as well as accent pieces in silver and black. I added the cream flowers in case you wanted to brighten up your flowers a bit. For the bouquets, why not make them using the cream and blue roses, blue anemone, and light blue hydrangea. Then, you could wrap a black ribbon around the bouquet stems an accent that with silver pins. I hope this helps.

“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.

“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!

“My name is Danielle and I just happened to stumble upon your website. I was amazed at the prices and designs that I saw. I am a July 10, 2010 bride and my colors are pool blue (david’s bridal), white and silver. I love open roses! I am having a hard time seeing my bouquet and my 7 bridesmaids bouquets. I am realizing that I can be a DIY bride and save lots of money! I am hoping this inspiration board can help!

~Yours Truly,
~Soon to be Mrs. Lassiter~”

Danielle, I created your inspiration board with mostly white flowers — being sure to include roses — as well as some turquoise ones. Since you love roses, why not make the bouquets using white open roses and rose buds, turquoise ranunculus, and perhaps accent with white wisteria or hydrangea. You could bring in the silver by adding silver sparkle to the bouquets, wrapping the bouquet stems with a silver ribbon, or using silver pearl headed pin accents! I hope you like your board.
