Need help with wedding flowers! Please help with color, style, and flower choice!?

I'm getting married in Sept. I'm doing all my flowers for my wedding, including corsages, boutineere's, bouquets, and centerpices. I'm probably using roses. My bridemaids dresses are going to be dark red with a light beige color sash. I need help with what color roses to do for their bouquets. For my bouquet I was thinking of using the bi-color roses (the white ones with red tips) or either white/ peach. My dress is strapless and hasn't much designing at the bottom. Should I do a cascade or round bouquet? What color roses should I do for the topiary centerpieces?? I was thinking maybe peach and white, but I really want the black magic roses somewhere in the wedding because they match the bridemaids dresses. If ya'll know of any good websites or have any good pics or any advice, please do help out!

What I would do is get roses in the same shade as the bridesmaids dresses and then add white stephonitis, soft pink roses and some green ivy but in a bouquet with white ribbon wrapped around the stems not a cascade. For you I think bi-color roses which you talk about is great, with a pure white orchid in the center of the bouquet. But the peach bothers me. Peach does not really go with red. I would add rosy pink roses instead with white stephonitis with ivy in a cascade. Then centerpieces could carry your color scheme too. Boutineers should be red for groomsmen and white for the groom, preferably Lily of the Valley and white rose with a touch of green. Mothers should get corsages that match their gowns. Make sure you use a good florist because roses do not keep as do other flowers. They tend to wilt. So take that into consideration. Good Luck to you.
Reply:There are roses called black magic roses. They are a deep burgundy color. I am using them for my wedding. They are really pretty.
Reply:go to theknot.com. they have galleries of bouquets and centerpieces in all sorts of colors.
Reply:I think you should carry a round boquet for you and your maids. Yours should be the black magic roses and theirs can be white. Sort of opposite of the dresses. Round boquets are so much prettier and up to date than the cascade ones.


The centerpieces could be a combination of flowers. Roses get expensive, but look really nice. OR you could use peonies, tulips, calla lilies, orchids...you have lots of options. Lots of times if you can't find a flower color you like, but you like the flower itself you can ask if they can dye it to match the rest of your flowers. Just a thought.
