I need help. Looking for a beautiful Brides' bonquets

Question

I will be wearing a Ivory dress and the wedding will be in Jan. '09. I am wondering is having a blue flowers to use as my bonquets without too much blue. Also is lilies good? Thinking of having a winter theme. My maid of honor is planning to have a blue dress.

Answer 1

Calla lillies would be beautiful.  If you want to add a little blue color you could also have hyacinth in your bouquet.  It would be best to visit a florist and talk to them about winter flowers.  They have lots of books with pictures.

Congrats on your upcoming nuptials.

Answer 2

How about Irises?  They can be purple or more blue and they look really good with white roses and/or stephanotis.  Also Freesia, which is more lavender really, but has an amazing scent.  These are all (except the roses) kind of dainty, delicate looking flowers.  Very pretty.  See the general idea here:

Go to www.theknot.com

They ahve a HUGE gallery of bouquets, more than you could ever imagine!!! You can sort them by color too.

Lilies are wonderful but have a strong odor so if you or anyone else with a bouquet is allergic be careful!

It is hard to find "true" blue flowers but some examples are iris, hydrangea, bluebells, cornflowers, wild lupine, asiatic day flowers and you can dye carnations blue too!

Good luck!
