What kind of flowers would you suggest for a winter wild west wedding?

MY wedding is going to be a themed wedding. The theme is WILD WEST. Like from the movie Tombstone. I am excited and we haven't set the date but I am looking for help in what kind of flowers are good for this kind of wedding. I have noticed that this is going to be harder than I thought due to the fact that I live in Florida and it is more of a Beach wedding kind of state. Beaches are not for me. So if you have some suggestions... please let me know.

Hi. Nothing fancy or out of the ordinary. I agree with the others. Think simple wildflowers....PLAIN daisies (not the more popular gerbera daisies), and other small wildflowers. Back then they did not have fancy bouquets. They simply gathered some wildflowers the day of the ceremony and carried them. Perhaps you can tie them with a think silk ribbon, but I would leave it at that.





If you are thinking of flowers for the centerpieces....same thing....something really plain and simple.
Reply:Dried wild flowers.
Reply:I suppose some white flowers as

great idea
Reply:Think about sunflowers, black eyed susans, daisies, cocks comb or dahlias. Mountain wildflowers are nice (columbine, bluebells) but they can also be expensive.
Reply:Cut wildflowers with some basic ribbon nothing fancy.
Reply:Go with sunflowers in yellows, reds, and oranges with wheat filler. I think these would be beautiful.





I love the theam of your wedding!!





Congrats and good luck!
Reply:I gotta agree with Stormchaser. A bride of those times might have had a bouquet of just-picked wildflowers, tied with a simple ribbon. Nothing elaborate.

Saw a bouquet once, made only of baby's breath. It was very pretty. Maybe something like that???
Reply:Check the flowers that are native to Arizona and the Tombstone area. (See link below) It is beautiful country but I do not remember what type of flora was there when we visited. Also check out the other links below for a look and some idea from Tombstone -- a very beautiful and neat place to visit.
Reply:why not native wild flowers. that grow in the area where your planning to have your wedding. Have your wedding on a ranch. Im sure they have ranches there in Florida.





A gf of mine loves country western anything. So when she and her husband (who is from montana) decided to get married. They knew exactly what they wanted to do. They asked his grandfather about converting his unused barn into a wedding and reception venue. She wore a western cut wedding dress. He wore a western cut suit. They didn't have any attendants. Her daddy is a preacher, and he married them. :) Their whole wedding cost less then $3500.00. They spent their honeymoon on a camping trip in montana.





good luck to you. :)
