Help on wedding flowers!!!?

My wedding is on 10-20-07 and the BM's dresses are a burnt orange accented with gold and the tuxes are chocolate brown. I need help on choosing the colors for the flowers! I don't think i want and orange color cause it will clash with the dresses. I also want simple hand-tied bouqets. my favorite flowers are gerbera daisies and cala lilies and I don't think they mesh well together. as you can tell i am clueless! I am making them myself which isnt a problem I just need imput on the colors!

Help on wedding flowers!!!?
This may be really off the wall to you, but how about a really deep purple flower?
Reply:I'd go with something like a yellow or a cream or white colored to go with Burnt orange.


Maybe yellow roses and white calla lilies?


IDK sorry, not good with fall weddings. lol
Reply:Yellow! Take a swatch of the BM dress fabric to the flower shop and see how the color looks next to the flowers.
Reply:Even though you are making the bouquets yourself, you could still ask a florist for ideas. Bring pictures/swatches of the dresses and tuxes and ask them for ideas/advice. If you don't want to tell them outright that you are making your own bouquets, schedule an appointment with the thought that if they are reasonable, and can meet your budget, you will hire them.
Reply:I am getting married in a few days and I had done TONS of research on flowers. Some of the best visual examples I found were at www.brides.com once I chose my flowers, I found a great website to purchase them from at really reasonable prices. www.farmstogo.com The mini calla's are ALWAYS pricey, but this website has the best prices not only on bulk mini-calla's but also on any bulk flowers. (I mixed roses and mini callas.) You can pick and choose your colors too! Good luck with everything, I'm sure it will be beautiful!
Reply:I'd go to hobby lobby...they have a huge selection of flowers and ton..i mean tons of colors!!!! My suggestion would be either a yellow or even a soft pink color! Good luck and congrats on the wedding!!!
Reply:I would go with the cream color of the calla lillies and maybe a chocolate brown for the gerber daisies or a deep purple. Isn't there a pretty auburn color of calla lillies? Maybe you could put some of those in as well.
Reply:sounds a lot like my wedding from 10-21-06. nice date! my BM's (I only had two) one was in Burnt orange and the other was in a chocolate dress. each of our Best men, our officiant (who is not my father-in-law), and my dad were all in Brown suits. my dress was ivory and that was the color of the flowers. there were touches of oranges, but only as accents. my flow ere was the calla lilly and the ivory was beautiful against my dress, the other dresses, as well as the men's suites. good luck.
Reply:I would use the daises for my bridal bouquet and maybe one to three cala lilies for the brides maids. I think the daises in various colors would be great.
Reply:either cream, sliver/gray or a yellow color. they would all look good. =] Congradulations!
Reply:Since you like calla lilies why dont you talk to a florist about getting some orange canna lilies. They are absolutely beautiful. http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8%26amp;...
Reply:white mums and yellow gerbera daisies, tied with orange/brown ribbons
Reply:I would suggest a simple handtied bouquet of flame miniture callas. They would go great with the burnt orange and chocolate.

it would pull out the gold in the dresses and would not clash with chocolate.
Reply:Hi! Well, I totally identify. I was married in October of 2006 and chose some of the same colors. My bridesmaid's dresses were a gorgeous chocolate brown. The men wore black pin strip tuxes w/ a champagne colored vest/tie. The champagne looks so rich and beautiful w/ the brown dresses. The flowers were a burnt orange calla lily with other flowers mixed in that were dark yellow tinged in red, and red flowers. My dress was an ivory color w/ champagne detailing. the result was gorgeous.





For your situation, I would use a deep red flower tinged with burnt yellow - there are such flowers!
Reply:You could always use flowers in colours like white, ivory, peach and champagne and instead of mixing gerbera daisies and calla lilies in bouquets you could use gerbera daisies in bridesmaids bouquets and calla lilies in the bridal bouquet and vice versa. As for orange flowers clashing with your dresses it would actually work using orange flowers as a lot of brides choose to match the floral arrangements to their bridesmaids dresses.





Good luck.
Reply:that is my birthday. i would use fall colors like different colors of Brown and orange
