I am trying to decide what to do about the flowers for my wedding, which is in mid-May. The color scheme is blue and white (bridesmaids in periwinkle) and the theme is Israeli Jewish (we're thinking of the tables being city names instead of numbered). I was wondering, do you think a single white rose (or some other flower) tied with a ribbon and some babysbreath would be an elegant choice for the bridesmaids?

We had the bridesmaids carry up single roses...and put the meaning of the roses in the order of service.
One carried a Red rose for love and respect
one carried a yellow rose for friendship and joy
one carried a pink rose for romance
one carried a white rose for purity and reverance
All the things that we wanted to bring to our marriage...my bouquet contained all the colours.
Often people don't remember the flowers at the wedding...but 10 years latter people are still commenting on how nice it was to have flowers with meaning at our ceremony.
Good luck

Definately! My bridesmaids carried 3 white callalillies tied with a sage ribbon and it looked very elegant. Roses would be just as beautiful. Good idea!

I would do a single white rose and surrounded by some blue type of flower (discuss with your florist) that would match bridesmaid's dresses with a few sprigs of baby's breath wrapped in a lovely white satin ribbon in a bow. Georgeous and elegant. As far as the tables being named for jewish cities, Mmmm....different, but a little too different. I think that the traditional numbered tables are the best. Do something else to carry the Jewish theme...

Yes I think that would be a good choice. I was going to do a single red rose and a single daisy but then I found a lady that will do small silk bouquets for everyone for what I would have paid for real flowers.

Absolutely. You can even have them "cradle" the flower in their arms while they're walking down the aisle; have the flower lying on one arm with the ribbon hanging off their arm, with their hands clasped in front of them, holding onto the base of the stem; it looks a lot more relaxed. I went to a wedding where the bridesmaids had one flower, but they carried it in front of them like it was a bouquet and they looked very awkward doing it.

My sister had that for her wedding and it was really nice, and was the right size. I think they are better than regular flowers that they usually have the bridesmaids carry. and your wedding sounds like its going to be beautiful I like the idea about the tables being city names instead of numbers. congratulations on your coming wedding.

I'm getting married in October and I too have thought of this. It's not because we're cheap or can't afford anything nicer, I think there is something to be said about simple elegance. I say go for it! It's your wedding and I'm sure it will be beautiful!

i wouldn't take away from the beauty of the rose by adding anything else.
just a single white rose would be stunning, especially against the periwinkle blue of their gowns!
have a lovely wedding, and may your marriage be as happy and filled with joy as ours has been!

Yes, They would work single roses are just as nice. My sister in law and my brothers wedding was in november and they did single roses with babys breath. And no one said it looked bad I think just having something for them to carry is good and a single rose is just as nice. Good Luck.
