Re: flower help.....

If you are not afraid of too much green, the high centerpieces are totally doable.

I think I am going to ask for a mix of high and low.

Maybe you could do something with red roses and then white hydrangea to fill it in.

Or, maybe you just tell them your colors, what you want and your budget, and say, hey, what can you do fir me?

Re: flower help.....

If you do high CPs you can rent the base of them instead of purchasing the entire thing, that will save you alot of money. As for red and white flowers you can use - while callas, white orchids (cymbidum or dendrobium) white stock, white lilies, white lisanthus, white hydrangea and then add red roses everywhere to accent all the white, you can use mini red roses too but they dont last as long out of water if you use them in bo-ks. I used to work in a florist so flowers for me was the hardest part cause I was so particular.
