I was going to use a bunch of orchids but now I am thinking of carrying just a few stems of something. I want the flowers to be the size of normal roses, but I don't like roses or calla lilies (too typical), daisies (too plain) and carnations (they remind my man of funerals). I would want them to be able to be in white, cream, or blue.

Calla lilies are twice the price of Roses, so if cost is a concern you might want to consider that. I love callas, but they're being over used in weddings lately. Almost every wedding show I watch someone is doing the all white calla bouquet, and while it's nice, it's over done and unoriginal. My best friend who is a floral designer said if he has to do one more white calla bouquet he's going to vomit. I'm not a fan of roses. They've been the token flower for weddings for way too long. Why don't you see if there is a local floral distributor in your area so you and your fiance can look at all the options. There are so many amazing flowers that don't get the recognition they deserve. Tulips are overlooked a lot, and they come in some amazing hues. Orchids are about the same cost as callas and way more gorgeous IMO. Don't limit yourselves, and HAVE FUN!

Well why don't you try google and type in "long stemmed flowers" or "big flowers long stems" I typed that in and got two different types of flowers right off the bat. I don't know you personally so I have no clue if it's something you would actually like but there are "Gladiolas" and "Dahlias" you can type in those flowers into google and see if they come in any colors you like. I think they come in a bunch of different colors. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for if you just look around a bit.
I'm using Big white Orchids and long stemmed Calla Lily's (think Eva Langorias Bouquet to a "T") and adding a few smaller purple flowers and some Bear Grass. The Calla Lily's are more just for the stems and support but they get hidden behind the Orchids. You could try something like that too if you really like orchids (They are my favorite). I hope you find what you are looking for!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

What about sweet peas? Here are some gorgeous bouqets, check out the ones on the second to last row. (Sweet peas and blue). Another idea might by hydrangeas. Or you could do any white flower then add a blue ribbons around it.

Tulips are lovely.
You're going to have a hard time finding blue flowers. Have you considered hydrangeas? They're bigger than what you're asking for but if you get ones in blue they have a nice look.

Peonies are stunning, when closed they look like balls but when they open they look like wild roses and smell like Turkish delight.
