“Hi my name is Kim, I am getting married on the beach on April 23 2011. I am having the BM’s wear Alfred Angelos Jade style 7138. I want to do colors jade ivory with accents of corals and chocolate browns. This is inspired by wanting to use tropical colors but I want my flowers to have more of a romantic appeal like roses. Any ideas would be appreciated.”

Kim, I created your inspiration board with different flower types in the colors you mentioned above. What a beautiful color palette! I think the bouquets would look stunning made up with brown and ivory roses, peach apricot dahlias, and ivory phalaenopsis orchids (to bring in a hint of tropical). Accent with jade ribbon or bouquet jewels to complete the look. I hope this helps give you some ideas!

“So I need an ideal from flowers on the colors I picked out…My bridal dress are coming from Alfred Angelo. The colors are Jade and
Petunia and ideas on what flowers to use (oh and my accent color is orange) thanks!
Thank you,
Peggy”

Peggy, what a beautiful color combination you have chosen! Since we don’t have many flowers that are jade in color, I think create the bouquets with pinks and orange with jade accents. I think the bouquets would look great made up with watermelon pink roses, pink gerbera daisies, and orange lilies. Accent with seashell and pearl sprays or find a jade ribbon to wrap around the bouquet stems. I hope this board helps give you some ideas!

Nadia’s Ivory and Apple Red Wedding Inspiration Board

“Hello, I am getting married December 25 at 7:30 in Florida on a yacht. My wedding theme color is apple red. My bridesmaids will be in apple and me in ivory. What color or mixture of color you would recommend for the decoration, what type of flowers and for me and my bridesmaids? For my bouquet I prefer roses.
Thank you”

Nadia, I created your inspiration board with flowers in red and ivory. I think you should make your bridal bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets with ivory and red open roses and rose buds — add some red dahlia to the bridesmaids bouquets to make them a little from your own! You could even use red rose pomander balls for decoration. Complete the bouquets by wrapping the stems in red ribbon and accenting it with ivory pearl pins. I hope this helps!

Erica’s Fall Wedding Flower Inspiration Board

Erica writes:
“Hello, I’m getting married next October at my soon to be father-in-law’s house. We are getting married outside by the lake they own. We are having a causal wedding it is going be very small. I want to incorporate fall colors, my favorite flowers are gerbera daisies and sunflowers. My bridesmaids dresses are going be either black or brown, and the grooms men are going to wear shirts and ties and pants. I’m having a hard time coming up with some flower arrangement ideas. Please help me!!
Thanks a lot, Erica”

Erica, I created your inspiration board with flowers in red, orange, and yellow — the perfect fall colors! I think the bouquets and wedding arrangements would look beautiful made up with yellow sunflowers, red roses, and orange gerbera daisies. For the bouquets, wrap a black (or brown) satin ribbon around the bouquet stems to complete the look. For the centerpieces, why not add in some curly willow for added height and more of that “fall” look. I hope this helps give you some ideas!
