My wedding colours are red and white/cream. What do you recommend for flowers? I am not a fan of (calla lilies or carnations) I don't want to depend on red roses though I wouldn't mind using in some way. What would a unique choice be? (it's a spring wedding, if that affects your suggestion) thanks!

Red Peonies are stunning this time of year, but high $$$. Use them in your bouquet only or substitute the peony all together with a cheaper "look alike"...the English Garden Rose. For spring,you have a wide selection!
All of these come in white: Stargazer Lillies, Orchids, Stephentotis, Hydrangea and Stock, Snapdragons, Delphinium, Wax Flower, Lizzianthus, Button Poms, Daisies, Fugi Mums...
A big clutch bouquet of tightly bunched white Hydrangeas and red gems to accent would be sweet but sexy.
Other reds that you can use are: Amaranthus, Ranunculus, Aster, Anemone, Dahlias (if you can get them) some berry varieties, Alstromeria, Tulips...
Good luck !

Do something really unique like branches off a dogwood tree (little white blossoms) coming out of a vase for the tables or TULIPS are always wonderful. There are always orchids (but those are expensive) and don't limit yourself on roses. The traditional can be boring but if you look into them there are some VERY cool roses (that don't look like the traditional). If cost is a factor (which it always is) I saw someone put several heads of carnations together and wired them to look like one larger flower and it looked VERY cool. GOOD luck and contratulations.

Tuberose's are traditional wedding flowers, as are Gardenier's, they both have a beautiful fragrance too. If you live in a warm climate you could also choose frangapanis. All these are white/cream, as for the red, how about gerberas, I love them.

What is very much in style is Red Roses, White Stephonitis, white roses, and white orchids. What I would do is go to your florist and ask to see his book of flowers that he works with and there you can choose any flower you desire. Good Luckl

White daisies, Red tulips. Gorgeous in a non-traditional sense.

Maybe you have never seen fire and ice roses! They would be very unique complimented with million stars baby's breath. Also look at white freesia or white Dendrobia orchids.

Red Roses & stephanotis. So beautiful. Also, if you want a more casual/wild look, go for gerber daisies, they come in a bunch of different colors.
