I have seen cybidium (sp?) orchids and green hydrangea but they are pretty pricey unless I buy wholesale online. i would prefer to work with a florist but could buy online if need be. If someone could offer some alternatives, I would be pretty excited. Thanks!

Chrysanthemums come in green. I think they sometimes call them poms. There is also a flower/filler called mollucela- it's long and skinny like snapdragons. Also, you can get green roses and green lisianthus.
My mom grows green zinnias in her garden from late spring until early fall- they would be pretty in a bouquet, but I'm not sure if you can get them from a florist.
Good luck and congratulations on the wedding!

I'm a little surprised that you say hydrangea is expensive. I'm using an antique green hydrangea as the main flower in all my arrangements and it has been very cost effective (I'm working with a florist). Not only does it take up lots of space in the arrangements, but it holds up extremely well to heat and temperature changes. I would rethink not using them, you may save yourself some $$ b/c it cuts out the need for a lot of smaller more expensive flowers (yes orchids ARE pricey!). I'm using a pale lilac cybidium orchid in my arrangements as well, but due to their price, there will only be one stem per centerpiece and it will be suspended in the glass vase under the main arrangement.

you'll have an rather puzzling time getting charges from on line florists. area, season, and human being florist's pricing make a unique. Your superb wager will be to bypass on your close by florist and say "right it is how a lot i will spend, listed lower than are the colors. What are you able to do?" For some reason, some florists are hesitant to provide you such an estimate. that that they had fairly you %. out the bouquet you want, and then they're going to allow you to recognize methods a lot it expenses. I say that is in trouble-free words a waste of a even as, because you recognize the way a lot you are able to spend. If a florist gained't provide recommendations for what they could do for $50, then locate yet another florist. it is what I had to do. I had responses starting from one flower to a small bouquet. Mini roses and carnations are more low-cost plant existence that are available a huge form of hues. those plant existence were blanketed in my bridesmaids bouquets, and we spent about $30 on each and each bouquet. you may do silk plant existence, yet this can stand out if none of the different plant existence are silk. in my opinion, the silk plant existence that seem good (i.e. do not seem of direction fake) will be only as severe priced as authentic plant existence, relying on what plant existence you opt for. Plus, you'd be to blame for making the bouquets. in case you're cunning and characteristic the time, this is a good answer for you. yet i'd get charges from florists first, so that you've some thing to judge the charges to. a pal of mine offered roses in bulk from an information superhighway rose save. She spent about $four hundred on a variety of of roses: sufficient for all bouquets, corsages, boutineers, and vases finished of roses on each table. regrettably, she had to assembe all of them herself earlier the marriage, so the bouquets were wilty by using the time of the marriage, and different boutineers kept breaking off. i do not advise this except you've assembled arrangements with authentic plant existence earlier. best of success!

I have seen fake orchids that look surprisingly real. I found them at Michael's, and they were pretty inexpensive. No one would be able to tell unless they looked very close. You could put the bouquets together and save a ton of money.
I didn't use orchids, but I used silk flowers at my wedding and for my bouquet, three bridesmaid bouquets, and 15 pin-on flowers for the groomsmen, parents, special guests, etc. I spent only $40.

Maybe placing an online order at Sam's, 1-800-flowers or at a local florist that can order them cheap.

There are a lot of online sites that provide fresh flowers for wedding events. Some of them are flower.com, fromyouflower.com and Dutch Gardens. All of them offer same day delivery as the day you placed your order, to ensure the flowers are fresh and in good condition.
As valentine's day is closing, you will be able to get a good deal if you use one of the promotional coupons at http://freeflowercoupon.blogspot.com/. At From You Flowers, most of their flowers start at a very low price of $29.95 and I'm sure you will be able to get a better price if you order for a bulk purchase!

Your florist should have sprays to color flowers. They could even spray white roses to green.

you can always get carnations (sp) and put them in green food coloring for little flowers with a tinge of white and mostly green, also many gerber daises come in green and they usually not too expensive.
