Also check out hypericum berries - they can be tinted to a chocolate brown with design master stain (for flowers)

There are some roses and gerbs that come in a close to brown color, more moca crossed with terra cotta though. And the roses are not yet readily available on the cut market.

There is also a chocolate colored anthirium (although this is not the best picture of it - it looks too red in this picture)

There is also a brownish colored freesia, but I could not find a picture of it for you.





There are also some other flowers that are a deep purple/plum color that could almost pass for brown, these include, calla lilies, artichokes, tulips and orchids.





For blue flowers try the following:


Blue hydrangia

Good luck!





Edit: I couldn't find arrangements, but I am still doing it! I think that it is nice to have an arrangement of different flowers noone has done. You can buy flowers in all three colors and make a sample of one or have your florist do it.





Edit #2. There are ivory roses out there and lots of blue flowers. Our centerpieces are the chocolate artichoke, ivory roses, and green hydrangeas. There are blue hydrangeas available and lots of other blue choices.
Reply:I am choosing brown as a color for my wedding. Dark Brown, Burnt Orange, %26amp; Deep Red. but, I am not putting brown in my flowers. I wanted to, but I can't find any that I like. I am sticking with dark orange and dark red and white roses. I found a picture that I love by typing in something like "fall wedding flowers" in Yahoo images.





Good Luck.
Reply:Is your color scheme brown (bridesmaid dresses)? I think that yellow roses would look best with that color. You can tie a brown ribbon on the bouquets. There really aren't any brown flowers out there. Sorry.
Reply:cream coloured flowers would go with a brown colour-scheme but brown flowers? I don't think that would look very pretty, sorry. the photos will look odd.
Reply:1) if it's a fall wedding you could use dried leaves


2) Friend of mine had wedding colors brown and ivory. She had white orchid's in brown pots with white ribbon on them. Very nice.
Reply:sun flowers


chocolate brown gerber daisies


Terra Nostra roses


chocolate cosmos


brown cala lillies


Leoniedas Roses
Reply:I would have to say don't do it. It would be like having black flowers in the bouquet.
Reply:You Could Make It Work With Other Colours But It PROBABLY Won't Look Too Good On Its Own.
Reply:Brown??





What do you mean? I am a florist but I dont know what you mean.
Reply:it is your wedding do what you want ... it is all about you that day
Reply:I'd need to see a picture. I'm thinking they'd look a little dead though.
Reply:NOOOOOOOOO!!! do like yellow or green purple blue pink or your the briges maids dress color
Reply:it depends on what colors you are having at your wedding
Reply:sorry but that doesn't sound too pretty.
Reply:if its in your colors...cool
Reply:not sure hmm if it looks rite then go for it !
