What type of flowers will look good in my wedding?

My theme is Chocolate, my colors so far are a dark espresso brown, Ivory, and Tan. Like the colors of chocolate. I'm having a hard time finding flowers to go with my theme. I was hoping to find a dark brown accent flower, with maybe some ivory calililys, or even hydrangia. Since I'm having such a hard time, I've been thiking of adding a little bit of color to the whole scheme, but that would totally defeat the whole chocolate idea, unless I did like a minty green or a sage. I'm completely stuck. Any ideas?

Great idea Chocolate sounds great, If you keep all to the same colours then everything will just merge in to one. Defiantly add a accent colour, If you think about chocolates in a box then they have all sorts of centers, so what about Gerber's they came in some really vivid reds,pinks,oranges and purples also the centers of Gerber's are a chocolate colour. You could even carry this through to the reception flowers. Good Luck
Reply:I love chocolate - I would say that pink is great with chocolate but more of a dirty dusty muted pink.


Or how about Bronze Calla and Mango roses - see pics on the links.


Or orange Ranunculus, mango Calla Lilies, russet Roses and dark brown Echinops - Hypericum berries to provide a lovely accent and clusters of Beech twigs to add interesting contrast.
Reply:Brown flower? i am stuck on that unless you could get a carnation to dye that color? but, for a beautiful cream color a good flower is a Peony...but they are sometimes harder to get. you have beautiful colors, hope you find something. If you feel like you have to add color add a really deep, deep black red (you know like the deepest of red roses?)
Reply:Pinks are great with chocolate brown....especially pastel pinks. They can make certain flowers different colors to fit your needs if you can't find the right the flowers though. theknot.com has some great ideas usually as well
