What types and colors of flowers did or will you have at your wedding?

I'm a florist and do flowers for weddings, and I just think it's fun to hear about what everyone does for their wedding.

What types and colors of flowers did or will you have at your wedding?
My bridal bouquet is mango calla lilies, and my bridesmaids are carrying circus roses, charlene red roses, red hypericum. Our reception centerpieces are square glass vases with cut limes in the bottom, with large sunflowers, hot pink roses, orange gerbers, green fugi mum, and red gerbers. The color combination in the centerpieces is GORGEOUS!
Reply:When I got married in 1999 I carried 12 off-white roses with light pink tinting in them, they were short stemmed and I had long off-white and pink sheer ribbons tied around them. THey were beautiful. The boutineers were single roses (same colors) with babies breath. I also had flowers on my 3 tier wedding cake, off white roses with the pink tinting and light pink carnations, babies breath, and pearls hanging on the side of the cake. It was gorgeous. I have never seen a cake as pretty as mine. I wore an off white wedding dress and my husband wore a black tuxedo as did our son.
Reply:Our colours were pink, yellow, lilac and light teal. My bouquet was a European handtied bouquet, rather large so I could carry it along my arm when my husband and I walked up the aisle together. It was a variety of flowers - of what I recall there were roses, stargazer lilies, alstromeria, carns, a spider mum, etc. There were long trailing ribbons in the four colours, so it was cool.


The bridesmaids had smaller, similar bouquets, but each had ribbons in her own colour. (The bridesmaids wore the same dress, white with little flowers in the aforementioned colours, so each attendant couple got a 'colour' - for example, the 'pink' couple - the bridesmaid had a wreath of pink flowers in her hair, and pink ribbons trailing from her bouquet. Her groomsman had a pink bowtie and cummerbund.)


The mens' boutonnieres were mini carns. Had three large floral arrangements for the church (later went to the reception site) in a variety of flowers in our colours.


Yes, we went colour mad, but it was beautiful and happy for a July wedding!


p.s. Rebecca T. - your pics are lovely! What beautiful colours, dresses and flowers! Your and your groom make a gorgeous couple!
Reply:i haven't got married yet but i'm with the person who i hope to marry.. for my wedding i would have orchids.. probably in white and pink.. i think they are beautiful but aren't sure how they'd work in a bouquet
Reply:Calla lillies with alstomerias
Reply:My boyfriend and I are not getting married any time soon but we do often discuss what we would like for our wedding. I want to have a black and white wedding with deep red roses and silver accents.
Reply:my colours for my wedding were pink, silver and white. my flowers wer orchids with pnk roses and these small white lillies I'm pretty sure they said they were. my maid of honours flowers were the same minus the orchids. they were expensive, but beautiful.
Reply:My primary color was deep red with all the other complimentary fall colors- brown,copper,gold, and wine. The bridesmaids all wore different style dresses in these different colors yet same fabric. Flowers were wild flowers and herbs from my mothers garden and ditches. We also had a florist "arrange" them and throw in some roses and callas. I wanted it to look very organic and freshly gathered.

Reply:I had a black and white wedding. For my accent color, my bridemaids carried simple bouquets of red roses. I carried a bouquet of white roses.





We kept to the same theme by using roses throughout the reception hall, etc.
Reply:I am thinking about having deep red and white roses.
Reply:I am getting married next month, and we are having Red Roses, and The deep red looking star-gazers. My boquet will have 9 roses and stargazers, my Bridesmaids will have stargazers only, and our Bouts and crousages will be red roses.
Reply:My colors are apple red, white, and accents of gold. I'm having roses, and stephanotis wrapped in gold ribbon!

Reply:My bouquet was white roses, white spray roses, white stock and stephenotis with the pearls in them. My maid of honor was white roses, pink spray roses and some light blue delphinum. My bridesmaids were pink roses, blue hygrangae, light blue delphinum. The groom had a single white rose, the groomsmen were light blue stephenotis. The mothers were pink roses along with the grandmothers, the dads and grandfather were also pink roses.


The alter arangements were long stem white roses only. 24 in each vase, very simple.


The table arrangements were pink, white and light blue carnations flooting in water bowls over mirrors.
Reply:When I got married the first time I used lavendar roses. My wedding colors were white, lavendar, and silver. I love roses, and esepcially the ones with pretty colors that you don't see all the time
Reply:We had a very tiny family only wedding at a Justice of the Peace, years ago. My fiance and I went in to the florists' to see about flowers.


My fiance asked what was cheapest, so I ended up with 3 carnations in a corsage in pink and white for me, and white carnations for my Mom.





Did not have a maid of honor, and didn't get any flowers for the guys. I don't remember the florist even mentioning them.





I do remember that when Mom was given her corsage, she remarked "funeral flowers." I had not thought of them that way till that moment, but she took all of the joy over the flowers away from me with that remark.
Reply:I'll be married in october and we're looking for flowers to go w our colors still, the main color will be a deep, dark blue. Then we'll have an olivish green and finally a gold very sparsely just to accent the other colors. Maybe you can email me to give some suggestions ( : We were thinking about just white roses or white calla lillies
Reply:I decided that the traditional wedding flowers (roses, calla lillies) were not for me. I'm using dark orange lillies, small gold flowers that look like mums (can't remember the name) and a couple very small dark red flowers (can't remember their name either) It's for a fall wedding, so the bold colors look great.
Reply:my colors were bordeaux (burgundy), gold and ivory. my flowers were green hydrangeas, green hypericum berries, burgundy mini calla lillies, purple tuplips, hand-tied with burgundy ribbon around the stems. the bridesmaids dresses were bordeaux, and they carried green hydrangeas, green hypericum berries, hand-tied with burgundy ribbons. I loved my flowers!!! there were pretty but not too big or complicated, which was good since my dress was a slim A-line/sheath.
Reply:my wedding colors were aqua and silver so we did the flowers springy with pinks, whites, I think the bridesmaids had some yellows..and then lots of greenery





I dont remember much of the bridesmaids..that was my moms thing..but in mine there were lillies, lilacs, roses, and some flowers I dont know





http://www.sunprairiesentryfloral.com/pr... that was the idea of my bouquet but we added more lillies to it and changed the roses to pink and white
Reply:I used silk roses that I bought years ago at Pottery Barn-they were Ivory English roses because I was afraid to use a florist for real flowers. When my sisters got married, their flowers looked horrible, and wilted after the ceremony. Mine, on the other hand, looked gorgeous, and everyone complimented me on my taste.
Reply:2 dozen peach roses for my bouquet. Bridesmaids had white and peach snapdragons (my favorite), peach roses, astromeria and greens.
Reply:my wedding colors were hunter green and white. i have never seen hunter green flowers, so i used white flowers and different shades of pinks
Reply:I will have light purples and pinks and white of course. mayube some coral color too. All fresh and springy colors. :)
Reply:I had an April wedding. I carried orange gerber daisies and everyone else had orange roses. The orange was an awesome contrast to hunter green dresses.
Reply:My boyfriend's mom is a florist, too. We're having calla lilies. Each bridesmaid and I will carry one lily with ribbon up the stem. The guys will wear them, too. Moms will have wrist corsages instead of on their clothes. We haven't decided on centerpieces yet. (Our colors are red, white, and black.)
Reply:White, white and a hint of blue.....Dodgers fan here!
Reply:Getting married in August... my colors are chocolate and pink. I am having white roses, pale pink roses and white hydrangeas all tied with a chocolate colored ribbon.
