    I have chosen mainly roses and babies breath for my bouquet and for the centrepieces we are doing hydrogenous with babies breath and some twigs.

    I picked my flowers based on their color and affordability. I ended up with roses, lilies, some little blueish cornflower sort of things to tie in with my color pallet, baby's breath and a little greenery to bulk it out and give it a rough hand-tied shape, and I worked in a few roses I grew myself (even though the colors didn't match at all!)

    I wanted dahlias and sunflowers for sure as we were getting married at a rustic family property and they were seasonal for the time of year. I gave the florist free reign for other choices pretty much but she always made sure I was ok with her choices. I also ended up having cockscomb (looks like brain coral), billy ball, and greenery.

    Mine will have a white or pink King Protea, deep red dahlias and cream hypericum berries. Then there will be a lot of greenery in it as well like eucalyptus. It’s going to be a big Californian style bouquet 🙂
    my bridesmaids will have smaller bouquets with the deep red dahlias and then cream coloured vendella roses. They will also have similar greenery.

    These are some of the bouquets that I like. My color theme is plum. So many different ideas to choose from. I also love the ribbon in the plum around the base of the bouquet.

    I have no idea, I'm at a loss when it comes to flowers! I'm probably going to let the florist pick my flowers and just give her an idea of shape, size and colour. One of our groomsmen actually asked to be in charge of the flowers because he knows so much more then I do and he cares more

    I really like peonies. However they are really expensive so I am probably gonna go with dahlias.

    I actually know absolutely nothing about flowers.. so I could not tell you what I was having. I just asked for no roses.


    I'll be having a white and green and grey bouquet while my bridesmaids will have mostly yellow and whites. I think my florist is great so I'm not worried!

    I just showed my florist a picture of what I was after and let her put it together. She asked me what kind of flowers I really like (carnations, spray roses, and spider mums) and what I hate (daisy mums) and went from there.

    My bouquet was orchids and hydrangeas, my girls had all hydrangeas. Centerpieces were baby's breath and wheat and our barrel pieces were baby's breath, hydrangeas, wheat and greenery. All the flowers were white, we had pops of colour other places. I loved the sort of uniform look of the flowers.

    Hi Joey!

    My bouquet will be cream coloured peonies and hydrangeas plus eucalyptus wrapped with a colbalt blue ribbon (colour of bridesmaids dresses). The bridesmaids bouquets will be blue hydrangeas with a cream ribbon.

    I want a lily and a glad in my bouquet after my grandmothers. Beyond that, I don't have a preference. My sister-in-law is making the bouquets and I told her just to buy whatever is cheapest and will look nice together.
