Answer 1

Gerber Daisies will be perfect in orange and pink. Very hip, bright and fun.
If you want a more toned down look- try an interesting contrast of medium. Like feathery white peonies w/ curly willow and folded banana leaves.
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Don't listen to the person who said don't pick your flowers before going to a florist. If you do that more and likely they will butter you up into getting some very expensive flower that deep down in your heart It is really not what you want. The worst thing ever is to go to a vendor and not have ideas to give them. Since your wedding is in the mid spring to mid summer, go with flowers that are in bloom. They will be cheaper and will last longer. Roses are available all year round and come in a variety of colors including yellow (papillon rose), orange (sensation rose), and even coral (barcarola rose). They can also be dyed the color that you prefer. Snap dragons come in yellow and are beautiful. Cream perfection tulips are almost like a butter like in yellow and can be quite beautiful. You can get alot of good tips in wedding books and magazines and the good old internet.

Answer 3

Oh, honey, do NOT pick your flowers before going to the florist, unless it really, really matters that they are carrying a specific flower.

The florist can show you tons of flowers that you've never even heard of that will look very nice with the colors of your bridal party. S/He is a professional and will have tons of fabulous ideas that can make your flowers very unique.

But if you walk in and say "I want this, this, and this, and do it this way," then that's exactly what you'll get. And you'll miss out on all those other possiblities, many of which could be much cheaper because they are in season.

Answer 4

Since you have them wearing two different colors, maybe it would be nice to have the flowers contrasting each dress. Like have the girls wearing coral have canary flowers and vice versa. Or you could pick a nice neutral flower for both to carry - something white.

Answer 5

Talk to a local florist. They may be able to tell you some flower that are similar in color to your bridesmaid dresses. Or white roses would work too.

Answer 6

Lilly's are really gorgeous in bouquets. I would do the light pink/ white Lilly's with peach roses. It would be beautiful and Lilly's are not very expensive:) Good Luck and Congratulations:)

Answer 7

Have them wear whatever color YOU are wearing (white/ivory?) with accents of the other colors. Have your bouquet done in the colors of their gowns accented in the color of your gown. If there are ribbon wraps, stick to white or ivory- or whatever color gown you are wearing or it will look like a candy shoppe.

It will be beautiful!

Answer 8

have each bridesmaid carry a single rose in the opposite color they are wearing with both color of ribbons hanging from it. that would be my suggestion and be what i would do.

Answer 9

the onces with orange mix white and orange roses together and with the yellow, yellow and white roses....Good Luck!

Answer 10

take a piece of fabric from each color your accenting and take it to the florist and they can match it and put it into the flowers.. My wedding was rainbow.
