What wedding flowers go best with black and white dresses?

You have endless possibilities with those colors. A lot of it will depend on your budget and the style that you are going for. Do you want dramatic? Subtle? Do you want to carry all white? Do you want your bridesmaids to have different bouquets? There are lots of options...


If you are on a budget you can go with gerbera daisies. They are a beautiful and affordable flower. You can basically use any color that you wish. You could go with a nice red color, like this...

Or even a nice pink color... http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1116/5308...


If you don't really have a tight budget, you could go with something like calla lilies. Some beautiful deep purple lilies would look gorgeous....

Or some yellow calla lilies...it would add a nice dramatic touch.

Or there are the classic red rose: http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg10/...


Or some beautiful pink roses: http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg10/...





These are just some of many possibilites. You have a great color scheme to work with. You could always add another accent color to your scheme. You could have the black and white dress; then have all the flowers be purple, pink or whatever color you would like to add. It would look beautiful.


Ask your bridesmaids for their opinions as well...my advice would be to first find a color that you could like to go with; then work those colors of flowers into your budget.


I hope that this helps! Good luck to you :)

What wedding flowers go best with black and white dresses?
red
Reply:ROSES- DEEP DARK RED
Reply:You really could go with just about anything. Traditionally, red would be the color choice, but that's totally up to you.





If your whole wedding is going to have a black and white theme, you need to pick a third color anyway so maybe you can coordinate the flower colors with the decorations.
Reply:I would go with bright colors, such as reds, pinks or purple.
Reply:pinks or reds
Reply:For a dramatic look use one color such as dark red or deep pink with a lot of greenery, but if you want to soften the effect and go with a pastel color you could do a multi-colored bouquet of your favorite flowers and that would be very beautiful too, you can also chose white flowers and incorporate ribbons of your favorite color, "Calla Lilies" and "Roses" are elegant, try to stay away from "Freesia's" as these do not last, they tend to drop their petal and turn brown fast, and carnations can be tinted any color. Hope this helps, Good Luck and Best Wishes to You and Your Fiance'.
Reply:either white flowers or bright flowers. I wouldn't go with a lot of green foliage.
Reply:Bright pink and purple tiger lilies look awesome w/ black and white dresses.
Reply:lilys
Reply:I think calla lillies are a beautiful flower with a simple elegance. The yellow inside would add a pretty accent. They also have a curvy and unique shape. They have long, thick stems and just a few look beautiful in a simple vase. I included a link below with a pciture. They are more expensive, but they are a large flower and you wouldn't need to use as many.
Reply:Red roses
Reply:If you are going for the drama of all black %26amp; white with no other colors, I would think that white calla lilies would work well.





If you want a splash of color for contrast, how about red roses?
Reply:something like this would pop against the dresses http://www.proflowersweddings.com/assrtr...
Reply:red roses looking really classy with those colors
Reply:Anything vibrant is good. So use this as an oppurtunity to bring in the accent color. For example, black, white, hot pink:

Good luck and congrats!

This should be very helpful %26amp; give you some great ideas on flowers. Good Luck!
Reply:With black and white, you can do pretty much any color.
Reply:ooo if you want something to pop ..pick bright colors...i was thinking red ... if you like bold statements!





as for the flowers go i have no idea ... i dont really know that much about names and stuff ...just that they are all pretty and colorful and smell good lol





but yeah red would be nice or pink or orange or even a blue lol ...like i said if you like bold colors.
Reply:a solid bright color .. like a red or a bright yellow .. something to draw away from the black %26amp; white and to add a great splash of color!!
Reply:Red roses (they symbolize love).
Reply:The time of year would be a HUGE help, but Roses or Calla Lillys are classic.
Reply:white...or some color
Reply:Calla lilies...white


Red roses
Reply:If you want to go with classic black and white, try lilies or white roses.





If you want something a bit more dramatic, but still classy, try red roses (you could even mix the red roses with white)

What are good wedding flowers for an April wedding?
Any pastel flower that says spring!!! And it's cheaper if it's in season!
Reply:daisy's but it depends on Ur colors. Go with something bright and spring.
Reply:orcids. pink and purple
Reply:Tulips are great and roses are always in season...mix it up and use some fruits in your centerpieces as well...pears or apples.
Reply:Whatever is in season to help keep your bill lower. I got married in Aug. and originially wanted lilacs (my all-time favorite scent.) Because they were out-of-season, my cost would have been really high. Speak with your florist before deciding.
Reply:gerber daisy's. red, pink, or something bright.
Reply:Different colored daises, roses, lilies, any spring flowers. It depends on what you like and what your colors are. The florist should be able to help you and make your wedding flowers beautiful.
Reply:Lilies, since it will be around Easter time.
Reply:what ever you like, go to the florist and ask what flowers are available
Reply:Doesn't matter what month it is. Just pick something that you like! It's your wedding you should choose and don't let anyone else choose for you! It's your special day, make it special.
Reply:I say lillies, white roses or fressia's are always good.
Reply:I love Gerber daisies, they come in all different colors and look very modern.


Can i get decent wedding flowers with an $800 budget?

I have 7 long tables (16 seats) and want small pots of flowers along them, maybe 8 per table so i'll need 56 small centerpieces. how much might that cost?





100ppl


total budget 14000


rings are over 2000

Can i get decent wedding flowers with an $800 budget?
I think you should be able to get atleast 40 small pots of flowers ($20 per pot x 40 = $800). You can definitely get pots with a single orchid for $20 and I think that would look very stylish. I'm not sure where is the best place to get it, but I think I've seen those at places like Home Depot. Look around at a few places for prices, and make sure their flowers don't look wilted.
Reply:I don't know where you live but you can get miniature rose bushes from a florist for about $3-$5/ pot. So you could easily do it for well under $800. You could then use the rest for some ivy or get some fabric and votive candles to go in between the miniature roses. In fact, you could get 100 of them for less than $800 and use them as both your table decorations and your favors as well. You could put some around the cake table and scatter some on the buffet table and the table where the guest book and container for cards will be.
Reply:Well I'm not sure how small you are talking about but normally it's one centerpiece per 10 guests. So you would only need 10 centerpieces right? 7 tables with 16 seats would be enough room for 112 people that would be closer to 11 or 12 centerpieces but to make it look even you might want to do one per ever 8 guests (every four chairs if you're doing seating on both sides of the tables), making the centerpiece total 14. You can do very small ones but I really don't think you need 56 of them. The less you have the more easy it's going to be to stay in budget. I know we went with a really great florist, we have 18 tables (one centerpiece per table) and are using orchid sprays in tall crystal vases. That costed us about $1200 just for the centerpieces. If you use less costly flowers, flower holders, etc.. it will def. work.





Sorry if I wasn't a ton of help!
Reply:It will be hard to find a florist that will be able to do anything really for that price. That's like $14 per arrangement. My friends wedding had 3 gerberas per vase done by a florist and it was like $20 each. However, you can easily do it yourself for that.





Craft stores sell pots, and so do places like Target (and vases too).





I've used these website for flowers


www.growersbox.com


www.flowerbud.com


www.pacificcallas.com





flowers with hardy stem and small flowers (mini callas, orchids, stock...) are very easy to arrange. things like roses take a little more work, but aren't too bad.
Reply:absolutely if your willing to do them yourslef. Put 100 away to buy your bouquet. however everything else can be done at your local grocery store. If your a member at costo, even better. Someone mentioned Downtown LA, my expierence is they tend to have a lesser quality for that cheap price. you may be wilting by noon ya know.
Reply:first off, do they have to be real ? or can they be fake? because if u go to michaels craft store, they sell tons of different little centerpieces. they can even order big quantaties if you need them to. i work there. good luck! also, they are inexpensive, and if you order a lot, they will give you a volume discount
Reply:I think that is reasonable - as long as you don't want 10 roses per centrepeice!!! There are some lovely arrangements that use more greenery and therefore keep the price down. I did that for my wedding and it worked fine. Talk to the florists and get some ideas.
Reply:you didnt even say what country you are in..





China?? Chile?? Canada??





http://www.gomestic.com/Entertaining/Pla...





I suggest buying LIVE PLANTS from a green house and just putting colored paper around the bottoms...


Marigolds? Mums? Petunias? Pansys?





here is another link with a different idea

Reply:Try Costco--they sell wedding flowers. You can order them online, and pick them up at your local warehouse club.





http://www.costco.com/Common/Category.as...
Reply:You may have to order the flowers from somewhere like growersbox.com and do the centerpieces yourself. 56 centerpieces is alot for 800. Plus you need bouquets for yourself and bridesmaids, and boutiners.
Reply:why don't you get a super nice center piece for the wedding party's table, and then use rose petals and candles (or even floating candles in nice bowls) for the other tables.
Reply:You definately should be able to. To same money, also, you can ask the florist if they have fake flowers that they can mix in with your real flowers. It can save a lot of money!
Reply:TrySilk flowerrs. They look real and you can save money. If you want real then try discount florists. Look for florists that are busy all the time. They might have a group of flowers they are unable to sell.
Reply:flowers yes. nice flowers no
Reply:Yes! Go to Downtown Los Angeles
Reply:Go to Home Depot or Lowes garden center


find nice plants and decorate them!
Reply:yes
Reply:I'm sorry, but $14,000 is a ridiculous waste of money to be spending on a wedding. Especially for only 100 people. That kind of money could go to much better causes. I would suggest only using about $200 to plant your flowers in pots that you buy. Costco sells flowers, potted and stemmed, for very cheap. Just remember, after your wedding, that all those expenses mean nothing, they are not going to have any factor on how successful your marriage is. What are you going to do with 56 potted plants afterwards? That is also something you're going to have to consider.

What flowers are best for a June wedding?

I am trying to keep costs down and still have a simple, pretty wedding. My colors are pink and black, and I love daisys. I want some other flowers that will match.

What flowers are best for a June wedding?
If you like daisies then I think you will love gerbra daisies. They are inexpensive compared to other flowers and would go well with normal daisies. Try hydrangeas as well. They look like a flower ball and go a long way. Congrats!





This pic sorta shows what I mean, except it is for a baby lol:

But see how the flowers could go a long way?
Reply:I love Tulips. We had purple tulips at our wedding.


You can get them in any color and they arent that expensive.
Reply:Geber daisies, they look better then regular daisies, they're more "grown up" and they hold up really well, especially in June with heat and humidiity. carnations hold upreally well too, and bunch a few together, they look really pretty.
Reply:gerber daisies (many colors)





Renucula (also many colors)

Reply:rananculas!!!!! so beautiful!!!! they would make a beautiful backdrop for some pretty daisies...the daisies would give it a nice contrast. my sister in law had those for her wedding, and her colors also were black and pink.....they were absolutely stunning and very classy. the flowers also lasted a long time---the wedding was in the evening, and our flowers were beautiful all through pics and through the reception too!

Where can I find linen flowers? I saw them in a magazine once and want them for my wedding bouquet...?

I saw flowers made from linen fabric in a magazine once and thought they were gorgeous.


Do any of you know where I can find them, or someone who makes them, or a pattern to make them?


The ones I saw looked like roses but they were made from a cream coloured linen. I really really want to use them for my wedding bouquet!





Thank you!

Any ideas for wedding flowers in September?

When looking at weddings it really depends on the colors that you have chosen. The hot choices of colors right now include the following:


1. Red, orange, yellow


2. Sage and pink (more spring or summer)


3. Red and white


4. Burgundys and plums


5. Gold and white





I think a September wedding would look fabulous in the fall colors. A bridal bouquet in rich red and orange roses with red hypericum, red ranunculus, yellow and red freesia, red/orange double tulips will look spectacular. To make it extra special do one of the following:


1. Add in some yellow or red leaf detailing


2. Add in some bouquet jewels in yellow or red at www.bouquetjewels.com Ask your florist for these because they can get them at a discount.


3. Add in some stephanotis stems with jewels in the center


4. Add in some red or yellow orchids


5. Choose a flower not often used by asking your florist to get something from the flower market on the day he/she goes. Dare to be surprised. A florist usually would love this.





I often picture a fall wedding near a tree with beautiful lantern like candles hanging from a tree with flowers draping down from a tree. An arch would be nice with a lot of greenery and accents of sage green, orange, and red. It depends on what you can do if there's wind. Inside use a lot of candle light for September. It's getting close to Christmas time, and the warmth of candlelight makes people happy. Warm colored flowers do the same thing. Perhaps use a large mirror in the center of your guest tables and add different sizes, and looks of candles (different colors along with your color scheme. Cover the whole area with orange and red petals. If you have more money cover the end of your head table with lots of greenery and warm colored flowers trailing off. The centerpieces can be tall with candle holders hanging down from it. For your ceremony don't forget to cover your aisle in rose petals if the venue allows it, and you're outside. If inside try lining the aisle in pretty small flower arrangements or plants. There are so many pretty fall ideas. You can also have some leafs spray painted gold. Almost any flower is in season except peonies. It also depends on where you are, and what florist you choose. Take, care, and hope some of these ideas help you :-)

Any ideas for wedding flowers in September?
I choose victorian colors for my July wedding (end of month).....Light blues, dark pinks, medium purples, and white, of course.......I love the look of those colors together, so I went with those colors. My bridesmaids wore dark pink to accent the flowers....GL;)
Reply:Any good florist will be able to tell you that. Just go in any local florist and ask; most are more than happy to give a list and with approximate prices.


I know carnations, roses, and most greens (ferns, ivy, baby's breath) are always in season. I would go with carnations, very inexpensive and can be turned any color you want
Reply:it kindof depends on what colors you are interested in, and if you are on a budget. you can get almost any flower at any time of the year now, but if its not naturally in season then its going to be a LOT more expensive. sunflowers are in season from may-november, and other flowers around during that time are the zinnia, tuberose, tweedia, veronica, phlox, lisianthus, larkspur, delphinium, carnation, cosmos, freesia, gardenia, gerbera...the list goes on and on. i suggest picking a color scheme first, and also the knot book of wedding flowers can be quite helpful, as it will have pictures of flowers, prices, seasons, how to do it yourself tips, and different types of bouquets. theres probably free online resources, or you can always use google images to look up each flower individually.
Reply:My neighbors lawn is packed with Dandylions, please help yourself
Reply:I used dark red gerbera daisies and other fall colored flowers. It think there was some kind of lily in there too.





You could always use roses too.
Reply:I dont know if you like Roses..but the orange roses are beautiful..and you could add some cream as well. But it also depends on your bridal colors as well. Go to www.floralfestivities.com and see the featured weddings...there is one that is a September wedding..her colors are nice..and look at the reception photos..those are the colors I am talking about..beautiful. Good luck..any questions email me m_varville@yahoo.com
